Speaker 1: Taylor allowed to seek a trade. Good luck there, buddy.

12
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: We will dive into the variables there, why we got here,

13
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: and is any team gonna trade a lot and then

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: pay a running back? I think most of you know

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: where I stand. We'll dive into all the different angles.

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: Some thoughts on Brady them honoring him week one for

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I got a little theory on that one,

18
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: and I'm coming around on the New York Giants, I

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: really am. I think they got a chance to be

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: pretty good, as well as some thoughts on the quarterbacks

21
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: here in college. I think it's gonna be a big

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: year for college quarterbacks college football season. Notre Dame plays

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,440

Speaker 1: and do it now. Promo code John let's get into

67
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor situation. Now. Overall, I think this is very understandable.

68
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Anytime emotion gets involved with our professional life, which typically

69
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: revolves around money, things get distorted and distorted fast. And

70
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: we've all been in a position if you've ever worked

71
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: for somebody, I don't care if you're twenty three years

72
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: old or if you're forty eight years old, where you

73
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: felt you were undervalued. And when I say undervalued, I

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: don't mean you're not getting emailed enough, right, you're not

75
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: in the loop enough, you're not being paid enough. You

76
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: think the work you're doing is not being valued enough

77
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: in your compensation. In the private sector, that's the way

78
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: we equate are worth, right, how much we're being paid,

79
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: and the moment we think we're underpaid, we can get emotional.

80
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: We're all human beings. It's understandable. And on the other side,

81
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: when you think you're paying enough and not getting the results,

82
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: you can think that person screwing you. Or there are

83
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: people listening right now that own businesses big and small.

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: That know, God, I'm really getting away with one paying

85
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: someone one hundred K when he's easily worth five hundred

86
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. To me, it's no different in the NFL.

87
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: It's why these running backs where if we rewind this

88
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: situation now that Jonathan Taylor has officially been allowed to

89
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: seek a trade, I think there are a lot of

90
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: angles here. First and foremost, I completely understand why we're here.

91
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: That phone call directly impacted this human being. It made

92
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: him think I am getting royally screwed. And after that

93
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: phone call, after previously a couple months before during the offseason,

94
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: he said, not only did I signed this contract, We'll

95
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: play this out and it'll all figure itself out. He's

96
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: a great player. He's everything you want when you are

97
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: an NFL GM and you make a draft pick, high

98
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: character stud on the field, he's awesome. Like I've loved

99
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor since he was in college. In his first

100
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: two years, he lived up to that billing. Then he

101
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: gets hurt. It's the NFL. People get banged up. But

102
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: the moment he went on that zoom call, it felt

103
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: like him specifically, like I'm getting screwed. I don't see

104
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey bitching and moaning. I don't see Derrick Henry

105
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: causing the problem. Helped Saquon Barkley immediately signed his franchise ten.

106
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: The only guy left with Jonathan Taylor is Josh Jacobs,

107
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: who's nowhere to be found. But then Jim Rsay, who

108
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: I've said it forever like, created this situation at least

109
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: poured kerosene on the fire and made this situation much

110
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: much worse now if he had kept his mouth shut

111
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: and never said the comment which was factually correct, that

112
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: if he died, no one would notice, and if Jonathan

113
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: Taylor was out of the league, the league would keep

114
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: on churn. He's one hundred percent right. What he said

115
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: was a fact. Tom Brady, the most accomplished NFL player ever,

116
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: I'd argue, the most famous football player of all time,

117
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: literally just retired. Will not play. We think this upcoming

118
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: season and beyond, and no one cares, not a soul.

119
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: It'll do historic ratings this year. More money will be

120
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: bet on the NFL than ever before. All the good

121
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: teams will charge more money for their tickets on the

122
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: secondary market than ever. It's gonna be an incredibly highly

123
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: consumed NFL season, and he's long gone and no one cares.

124
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: But the fact is that Jonathan Taylor thinks he's getting

125
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: screwed and Jim Orsay made this whole situation worse. Now

126
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: would they have been here if he had kept his

127
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: mouth shut? I don't know. As someone in the league

128
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: texted me, Jonathan Taylor got a new agent. This agent

129
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: who actually is Darius Leonard's agent, who's you know, a

130
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: guy on the Colts who's been extended the way it

131
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: was described to me, he's not afraid to mix shit up.

132
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: He'll get in the mud. Which if I was a player,

133
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: or if I'm anyone being represented by an agent. Hell,

134
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: if the person's representing me buying a home, I want

135
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: that person to have not only my best interests, but

136
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: will do whatever it takes to get the best deal possible.

137
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: It's literally why you're paying them. But this situation, you

138
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: can the Colts go okay, seek a trade? What the

139
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: fuck do we think is gonna happen? Now? Who in

140
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: the NFL? And by all reports they want a first

141
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: round pick. Don't blame him, he's arguably their best player.

142
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: Who's trading a first round pick new Slash nobody. Okay,

143
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: they need enough picks that would equal that. Okay, let's

144
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: say two twos. Who is trading two tooths for a

145
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: running back who also wants Let's just pick a number

146
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: forty forty five million dollars guaranteed. So wait, I have

147
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: to trade a pick and listen, the market has spoken

148
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: on all these other players. You want Khalil Mack this

149
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: is four years ago, multiple ones, ninety million dollars guaranteed.

150
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: You want Tyreek Hill, You want DeVante Adams A one

151
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: A two and seventy million dollars guaranteed. You want Jalen

152
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Ramsey a one, A, one A two and an enormous

153
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: contract for Jalen. So when elite players are on the

154
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: open market at other positions, they get ones, they get

155
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: seventy eighty ninety million dollars money. Picks are flowing around,

156
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: even Jamal Adams, which we could rewind as a pick

157
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: a trade that the Seattle would like over again, multiple ones,

158
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: and they paid them. Does anybody with a working brain

159
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: that falls the NFL think eighteen is gonna make a

160
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: big trade and then pay Jonathan Taylor. I have a

161
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: hard time. I'm not saying it's inconceivable. I don't see

162
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: it happen, and texting around people inside the league. All

163
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: of them said this will blow over, cooler heads will prevail.

164
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: Part of it is because they're not gonna get any

165
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: good offers. Remember over the offseason, Austin Eckler, who has

166
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: been extremely productive. I don't have it in front of me,

167
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure the stat is he leads the

168
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: league in touchdowns the last couple of years, thinks he's underpaid,

169
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: and just based on the touchdowns, probably is makes a

170
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: little under seven million dollars. They're like, Austin, seek a trade,

171
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: find somewhere else that you can do, will trade for

172
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: you and then pay for you. No one did, nobody

173
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: because his value seven million dollars. Most people in the

174
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: league like, what you want me to give like a

175
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: second round pick, and then you want me to give

176
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: you like thirty forty million dollars. That's not happening, not

177
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: at this position. And this gets back to the running backs.

178
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: They all bitched, They all moaned the people leading the charge.

179
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: We're all super rich. Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffrey. Even Saquan realized,

180
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: pretty good deal might as well, sign up and go back,

181
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: and he did. And then you get Jonathan Taylor, who

182
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: has been had zero issues until now thinks he's greatly underpaid.

183
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: No one else is going to pay you, especially when

184
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: after factor in give either multiple picks or a first

185
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: round pick. I just don't see it happening because it

186
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: will not happen. And it gets back to every single year,

187
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: guys in the third, four, fifth, six, seventh, and undrafted

188
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: free agents don't just make teams. They start for teams.

189
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: They contribute to teams, help. They're the starting running back

190
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: for a team that wins the Super Bowl. Isaiah Pachaco,

191
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Cowboys. Do's fun gonna make the team?

192
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: What rattles? He picked the sixth can find good players

193
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: at that position all over the place in a draft,

194
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: and that works against Jonathan Taylor. So when people go

195
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: where's he gonna go? Everyone I've talked to don't think

196
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna go anywhere because who is going to pull

197
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: the trigger. Now? If Jonathan Taylor was DeForest Buckner, then

198
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: we'd have a different conversation. If Jonathan Taylor was a

199
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, an offensive tackle who was viewed as really

200
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: good young twenty four year old, we'd have a different conversation.

201
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: But he's a running back, and we just keep beating

202
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: a dead horse on this over and over and over again.

203
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: So while Jim or Say opened his mouth and made

204
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: this situation worse, he was not wrong because running backs

205
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: are so replaceable. And this is why I think the

206
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: culture like listen, Jonathan, I don't know what's been going on.

207
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: I know last week he had an excused absence, but before,

208
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: are you injured your ankle? Pop? What the fuck is happening?

209
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: You have been You've had no issues your entire career,

210
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: college or and now this one zoom call this one

211
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: new agent. Now you're acting, you know, like you're getting

212
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: royally screwed when no one else would pay you. And

213
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong, maybe by the time you're listening to this,

214
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: someone has traded and broken them off. I have a

215
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: hard time seeing it. I actually don't think it's gonna

216
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: happen because teams over and over, beside Jerry Jones, who

217
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: immediately think about the last two major contracts at running back,

218
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley and Zeke they were signed pretty early. Both

219
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: teams immediately regretted it. Say what you want about the

220
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers and Christian McCaffrey. They were able to offload

221
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: them for second, a third, and a fourth right and

222
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: have someone take back that contract. That could not be

223
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: said about Zeke definitely could not have said about Todd Gurley.

224
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: So this this situation is just everyone's got to take

225
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: a deep breath, which is understandable. Anytime money gets involved

226
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: with alpha males in competitive industries, people get hot bothered.

227
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: I've been there, You've been there. We've all thought we

228
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: were getting screwed and whoever we've worked for have probably

229
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: been mad at us. And over time, if you both

230
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: value each other, if you both respect each other, everyone

231
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: will just take a deep breath and come to the

232
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: table and figure it out. Now, big picture, are the

233
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: Colts ever going to break him off? I don't know,

234
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but we've seen these situations before. Will people

235
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: get mad at each other in pro sports and then

236
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: you just write it out and everything is okay? But

237
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: what's Jonathan Taylor gonna do? Refuse to play and just

238
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: have his contract told and he'd be no closer to

239
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: free agency. That doesn't make any sense. Just argue with

240
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Jim Mersay every day. That doesn't make sense. Now there's

241
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: a hard one for the Colts. If he is willing

242
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: to kind of do what he's been doing, do you

243
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: want your rookie coach? Who I've said it all the time,

244
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: this is why head coaches make so much money. Because

245
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: when Shane Steichen was the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles,

246
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: if the equivalent of this would have happened, would not

247
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: have been his problem at all. This would have been

248
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: on Howie Roseman and Sirianni and he would be like,

249
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: just deal with the next running back up. Man, you're

250
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: the coordinator, just call the place. But when you're the

251
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: head coach, all the problems land on your desk. Even

252
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: this situation, it's honestly, he kind of inherited and had

253
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: nothing to do with And if anything, Jonathan Taylor would

254
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: be perfect probably for his offense with this young quarterback.

255
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: But this is where the tough. The situation gets tough. Right,

256
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: if he is really gonna be create a problem, do

257
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: you want him around your young raw quarterback? Probably not,

258
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: but you're not just gonna give him away for nothing, right,

259
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: And then the team, let's just say, they would be like, okay,

260
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: let's just get him out of the building give us

261
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: a couple threes. Well, if I just trade for him,

262
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: then do I have to pay him as well? Like

263
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: would he play for me under the same contract or

264
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: does he mandate that I give him the forty five

265
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: plus million dollars or whatever the guaranteed is that he wants. Right,

266
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: So the situation's ugly, but as most feel in the league,

267
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: and I would tend to agree deep breas, everything will

268
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: be figured out and Jonathan Taylor will remain a cult.

269
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: If you're a Patriot fan, you probably knew this was happening,

270
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: and I probably, I guess saw the headline back when

271
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: it was first announced, but I saw it yesterday or

272
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: today because Bill Belichick was talking about Tom Brady and

273
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: they are not just honoring Brad. I guess they're retiring

274
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: his jersey right Week one against the Philadelphia Eagles, And

275
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: it kind of was like, that's a little weird. I understand,

276
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: he's the greatest player in franchise history. He's the greatest player,

277
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: most accomplished player in NFL history. We's been retired for

278
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Wouldn't you like if you and me were

279
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: running a team the one game where even if we're

280
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: gonna suck. Let's just say the Patriots have a terrible

281
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: season and for them six seven wins would be a disaster.

282
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: Probably Belichick will get fired. But the last game that

283
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: we would need anything extra, even with Tom, Tom could

284
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: come Bob Kraft or whatever. But would you retire his

285
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: jersey that game? It's week one. Every single team in

286
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: the league is not just alive but has hope, and

287
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: you think you could be good. The fans are excited,

288
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: real football. You don't need any the Tom Brady retirement jersey.

289
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: Week one. I could look through the schedule. To me,

290
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: the easiest thing would be whoever the worst team on

291
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: paper you're playing. That would make the most sense because

292
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: you never know if you're bad, maybe mid to late

293
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: in the season, depending on how it's going. So I

294
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: started thinking, why would they do this? This is just

295
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: strictly they love Tom. Obviously they do. He's met everything

296
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: in their franchise. Obviously he has. But is it pretty

297
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: normal to do it? Week one? I've been around sports

298
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: now professionally my entire adult life, and when I worked

299
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: in radio, I was around NBA, the Major League Baseball,

300
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: and obviously the NFL, and a lot of times this

301
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: type stuff happened, whether it's something to do with Dwight

302
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: Clark or Joe Montana or Steve Young, whether it's something

303
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: to do with the San Fransco Giants who do something

304
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: every single night of the year. Usually you save stuff

305
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: like this to like a week where you might need

306
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: a little ooph where you might need a little kick

307
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: in the ass, where you might need a little you know,

308
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: let's wake up to the fan base. We might need

309
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: to kind of light a little fire under them. Not

310
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: Week one, where I don't care if you're a Texans fan,

311
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: whether you are an Arizona Cardinal fan. Week one's cool.

312
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm excited for that game, regardless who we're playing, and

313
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: regardless anything that's happening at halftime. It doesn't make any

314
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: sense to me. And then I thought like, is there

315
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: a chance that Robert Kraft is doing everything humanly possible

316
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: trying to talk Tom Brady into Hey, Tom, if this

317
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: doesn't go well with Bill, you want to be John

318
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: Elway from my team. You want to just be the boss,

319
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: because if this season goes poorly for Bill and they

320
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: fired him, he also is the GM. Like they don't

321
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: have it, It wouldn't have anything. It would have a head coach,

322
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a personnel guy, they'd have nothing. He is

323
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: really the last loan grand pooh Bah of a franchise. Right,

324
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: every team, right, John Snyder, Pete Carroll Brett, Veach, Andy Reid,

325
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: Or if you fired one or one retired, you have

326
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: the other. Right, Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay less need or

327
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, John lynch less need Sean you go around.

328
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: Belichick is very unique. He's in charge of both. Now,

329
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: some of those coaches I listed technically have decision making power,

330
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean that there is no

331
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: GM for Belgian. Is there a chance that Robert knew

332
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: I need to go all in? Because if this doesn't

333
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: go well, who's Robert Craft gonna hire to be a GM?

334
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it make a lot of sense to Tom? What's

335
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: fox by you? I'll pay five million dollars more a year?

336
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: You can just be create your own role residents slash GM,

337
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: slash whatever the fuck you want to be. You're in charge.

338
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: You hire the coach, you hired the GM, You hang

339
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 1: with me. You're in charge of our football operations. We

340
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: just thought John Elway do it? And I know it

341
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: ended poorly, but he won a Super Bowl, landed Peyton Manning.

342
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: I actually think it would work pretty seamlessly if Tom

343
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: wanted to do it. But you need to, you know,

344
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: I just do not understand why. And listen, Patriot fans

345
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: are like middle COO. If you're reaching here, why would

346
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: you do it week one? It's just this is a marketing.

347
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: It's all just an unveeling. You don't need it week

348
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: one of all the weeks to get the fans riled up,

349
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: to get your team riled up. It's irrelevant. Everyone is

350
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: excited me, you, the players, the coaches, the executives, you

351
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: name it. Anyone that falls football week one, we're all in.

352
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: We might start, depending on who we are, start changing

353
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: our tune by week two, but not week one. So

354
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I got this one flagged. I wonder

355
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: if Bob Kraft, if this season goes poorly, he would

356
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: offer it all the time. Tom, how much would you

357
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: cost thirty million dollars a year to be just in

358
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: charge of my entire team? You create your own role.

359
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: Lway meets whatever, Howie Roseman meets the president of the franchise.

360
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: You do it, you run it. You're the boss. I

361
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: think it's on the table, at least from Robert Craft standpoint.

362
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if Tom would do it, but if

363
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: I was Robert Craft, that's who I'd be looking at.

364
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: That's who I'd want. If I'm going to get rid

365
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: of Bill Belichick. I can't just hire Gerrad Mayo and

366
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: have some random GM and think like this is going

367
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: to work because it won't be ugly, and it be

368
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: ugly fast. But if you had Tom and Mayo and

369
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: then some other assistant to run your GM, I think

370
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: fans will get behind that pretty quickly. One team I've

371
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: really changed my tune on because two things I really

372
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: value that every human with the brain values is coaching quarterback.

373
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not acting like Daniel Jones Owes is some star.

374
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: I thought it was crazy when he was drafted. And

375
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: I'll never forget one of my good buddies that does

376
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: the SEC really liked him and he's like, I'm telling you,

377
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: I think he could be a better version of Alex Smith.

378
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: And obviously his career was very, very bumpy. He dealt

379
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: with Joe Judge and Jason Garrett and just shitty coaching situations,

380
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: but it was ugly like, there was no way to

381
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: watch Daniel Jones play and go, this guy's ever going

382
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: to be a solid quarterback. You could say the same

383
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: thing for Alex Smith, who dealt with Mike Nolan and

384
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: Mike Singletary, and it wasn't until Jim Harbaugh who made

385
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: him into just a real quarterback, and then Andy Reid

386
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: turned him into a quarterback that like, you could just

387
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: consistently make the playoffs with right, so people believed in him,

388
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: and Brian day Ball immediately proved like he's a big

389
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: time coach. Like I think Brian day Ball is the

390
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: real deal, and I was watching him, I guess that

391
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: would have been Friday or Saturday night. His coaching staffs fantastic.

392
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: Hire's Mike Kafka, who's been on an the restaff forever.

393
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: Hires Wink Martindale, who's clearly one of the better defensive

394
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: coordinators in the league. And then I'm just watching Daniel Jones.

395
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, I remember when Harbad did this with Alex.

396
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: He looks dramatically better. And part of making a quarterback

397
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: look better when you've just kind of been in the

398
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: mud and it's been ugly, is doing a good job

399
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: around him. And part of doing a good job around

400
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: him one like how do you handle weird situation? Takuan

401
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: got weird fast, started going on like business podcast talking shit,

402
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: and then within a couple of weeks they just agreed

403
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: to a deal and he's all in and just everything's fine.

404
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: They made a trade that listen, Darren Waller, did he

405
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: quit on the Raiders it got weird? I don't really know,

406
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: but he clearly looks fantastic for the Giants. And when

407
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: Darren Waller was healthy and cared, he was an elite player.

408
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: You can't cover. He's tall, He's like six five sixty six.

409
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: He runs like a wide receiver and has incredible ball skills,

410
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: like he is a dominant tight end when healthy. Now

411
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: he hasn't been healthy in a while, but for the Giants,

412
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: he's healthy right now. Looks fantastic. So you got saque

413
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: head on straight. You got Darren Waller, you've been in

414
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: a weird space, really looks motivated. It's clearly done a

415
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: good job drafting over the last couple of years, as

416
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: well as just kind of a tough minded operation. I

417
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: thought the Giants, you know, I undervalued their talent last

418
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: year clearly because when I get a good head coach,

419
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: he gets my talent to overachieve. And then once you

420
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: start getting more talented players in, once I get high

421
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: end guys to overachieve, we start winning. Dick. Now, I

422
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: don't think the Giants are going to win the NFC East,

423
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 1: but I do wonder. Last year, when you think about it,

424
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: they played the Eagles, they got their ass kicked right,

425
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: they were clearly the third best team in that division.

426
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: They still might be the third best team in that

427
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: division this year, but I do wonder if it looks

428
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: a little bit different. I do wonder if it's a

429
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: little more closely contested, because if you go Brian David,

430
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: if you just pulled around the league right now, Brian

431
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: da ball, I mean, is he a top ten pick

432
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: in a weird way? And I don't know if this

433
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: is fair or not, because Sirianani last year got to

434
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. But I think he's he's got a

435
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: lot to prove this year because it was like Well's

436
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: coordinator's both got head coaching jobs, and mainly his offensive coordinator.

437
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: Now we'll see right change the offensive coordinator if it

438
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: seemless like it's gonna be hard to deny that Sirianni's

439
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: clearly not doing something right, and it's not like Daboll's

440
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: calm plays Kafka was last year. But it does feel

441
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: like day Ball is more highly thought of it definitely

442
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: than McCarthy, which is kind of unfair too, because McCarthy's

443
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: last couple of years just rattling off twelve wins with

444
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. But I do wonder. I don't just wonder,

445
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: I kind of expect the Giants to not only be better,

446
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: but just of those four games with the Cowboys, and

447
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: clearly the Eagles for just to be a little tighter,

448
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: for just to be a little closer, because last year

449
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: it was not. I mean, the Eagles beat the shit

450
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: out of them, and if they get Waller going, if

451
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: Cavon could take a step, I do wonder if they're

452
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: just a more formidable opponent this year, and they're a

453
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: team that I'm definitely higher on than I was probably

454
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: six months ago, because you just watch them, you go,

455
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: Waller's the real deal, win healthy. I think Daniel Jones

456
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: is going to be better and Dave Ball's just a

457
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: stuck And I'm not saying day Ball is better than

458
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: Sirianni But my point is that if you just pulled

459
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: around in the league, I think a lot of people

460
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: would take day ball fair or not a lot of

461
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: Sirianni's a lot of pressure this year offensively, even though

462
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: they have all the pieces, and I don't know why

463
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: they'd look any different. But if they don't, if they

464
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: do quote unquote take a little bit of a step back,

465
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: people will be like, oh, it was all Shane Steichen.

466
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: So that's a talking point that we'll get into. I'm

467
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: sure as the season goes on, I expect the Eagles

468
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: to be really good. I mean, I'm gonna pick Eagles

469
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,239
Speaker 1: to win the division. I think, I mean, I think

470
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: them and the Cowboys are pretty damn close. But if

471
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: those are two thirteen fourteen win teams, like I think

472
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: the Giants might be more of a real eleven win

473
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: team than like the nine and eighteen than they were

474
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: last year. The hype on these college quarterbacks, Man, I

475
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: saw the All American team came out. Caleb was obviously,

476
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, first team All American, Drake May second team

477
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: All American. One thing football still really has that the

478
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: other sports, I mean, baseball never really has. But when

479
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: I was a kid, basketball because college basketball wasn't just

480
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: really big. It's all the star players went there for

481
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: several years, so there weren't Allen Iverson went for multiple seasons.

482
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neal went for multiple seasons. You've got star players

483
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: playing multiple seasons and there was a build up to

484
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: their draft pick. Well, the NFL has always had that.

485
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: Guys in college football become stars because you watched their

486
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: careers multiple seasons. We watched Bryce Young two years ago

487
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: beat Georgia in the SEC championship game and then give

488
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: everything he had in the National Championship game and then

489
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: he had to return to school. We watched Trevor Lawrence

490
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: become a National Championship champion as a freshman and then

491
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: played two more seasons, and same with all these other positions.

492
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison, We've been watching them for a couple of

493
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: years now. All these players who were stars in college.

494
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: We get to just kind of know them over the

495
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: course of their career, and it helps us not only

496
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: just be interested in college football, but once they get

497
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: to the NFL, they're really famous. We've been talking about

498
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: to us, it seems like nineteen years old. Most of

499
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: the star rookies we've known even some of the random guys, right,

500
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: Aidan O'Connell right now is having a lot of success. Well,

501
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: if you're a Michigan, Ohio State, or Wisconsin fan, you've

502
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: seen a player over the last couple of years. You

503
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: watch a lot of Big ten football. Brock Purty, he

504
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: wasn't just some fucking nobody. We all watched Iowa State

505
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: play a game or two over the years. Right, So

506
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: if you start for multiple seasons in college football and

507
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: you're a good player, we keep an eye on you.

508
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: When you become a rock star Heisman Trophy guy, you

509
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: become like fringe NFL famous and Caleb Williams. Because of

510
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: the hype on this player, you know, he's like in

511
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: the Trevor Lawrence Andrew Luck category. Now. I think depending

512
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: on who you talk to, Drake May, you know, is

513
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: he a clear number two? Is he a one? A

514
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: one B? I don't know. That's what's fun about college football, Like,

515
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to watch him this year. Last year

516
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: he went thirty eight and seven in North Carolina. Couldn't

517
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: stop mir or you but they were terrible on defense.

518
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: But not only was he clearly awesome this offseason, places

519
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: like Alabama offered five million dollars to come play, Nick Saban.

520
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he directly called him, but it

521
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: was clearly on the table and he said no. Caleb

522
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: Williams clearly was worth a shitload of money when Lincoln

523
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: left and USC paid him to come over. Now you

524
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: can say he was gonna fall him no matter what

525
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: would he have if the money wasn't there. His value

526
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: was really high. So you get both these guys who

527
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 1: combined for almost I mean eighty touchdowns. I mean their stats.

528
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: Caleb through forty two. May through thirty eight, Caleb had

529
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: five interceptions. May had seven interceptions. Like these guys are studs.

530
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch them play. And I think

531
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: the coolest part about this year with college football is

532
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: the depth of quarterback. Obviously the high end with Caleb,

533
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: super hype guy. I think Drake May isn't quite that,

534
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 1: but he's not far behind. And then you have this

535
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: group of just quarterbacks all over the country, Michael Pennix,

536
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks, the Hartman, the transfer from Wake Forest to

537
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Like, you have legitimate names at quarterback that

538
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: were like, how many guys are gonna go in the

539
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: first round. Now, you never know, and anytime a first

540
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: round hype, you know, builds up before a season, it

541
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: never turns out that way. And just because a lot

542
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: of guys end up going in the first round doesn't

543
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: mean they become really good players. We just sawed a

544
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, Zach Wilson, Trey Lancer backups going

545
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: into their third season. But it does make this sport interesting,

546
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: and it really is. They're the star of the of

547
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: the sport for a reason, highest paid and just most

548
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: important because if you have a good one, it changes

549
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: your franchise. So Caleb Williams plays this weekend against San

550
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: Jose State, I would expect USC to destroy him. And

551
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: to me, the cool part about so Caleb is not

552
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: a team that a lot of people think can win

553
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: a national championship. Now, to me, the question with Lincoln

554
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: is offensively he's elite. I mean, it doesn't get much better.

555
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: There have been a short list of guys over the

556
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: last couple decades that are on his level. Mike Leach

557
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: taught him. Mike Leach was that guy could never get

558
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: a defense. Chip Kelly could get a defense, came up

559
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: a little short his offense. To me, was always a

560
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: little soft. Lincoln was always willing to go under center

561
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: if he has to. There's a physical element to his

562
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: run game that I never really saw with Chip Kelly

563
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: when he was at Oregon. The question with Lincoln was defense.

564
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: Could he get a good enough defense? Could he recruit

565
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: SEC level guys? Well, this offseason they have. They've got

566
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: a lot of transfers. The hype on this team led

567
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: by Caleb and him, the depth of this team. I

568
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: can't wait to watch him play. I can't wait to

569
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: watch this team compete, to see if they can make

570
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: it to the Final four and just be in the mix.

571
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: And Drake may his team is not going to be

572
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: that good, but like their top twenty team, they're a

573
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: team that should win eight or nine games, gonna play

574
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: in a ton of marquee games. They opened against South

575
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: Carolina that ended their season last year. I'm pretty sure

576
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: they beat Clemson in the last regular season game. Pretty

577
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: sure they won a big bowl game. Like South Carolina's

578
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: got a lot of momentum. Shane Beamers kid is the

579
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: I think his name is Shane Beamer. What was what

580
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: was Frank Beamer? It's Frank Beamer's the dad Shane Beemer's son.

581
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: But I'm just I think the college quarterback play this

582
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: season should be awesome. I mean, the sport has never had.

583
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: It feels like going into a season more teams at

584
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: the high end, like you could argue ten Power five

585
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: teams like could win the Natty. I talked to someone

586
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: the other day that was like, Texas is stacked. Now.

587
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge Sark believer, but the Big twelve

588
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be down now, can start? You know? To me,

589
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: I think they play Alabama this year. You're allowed to

590
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: lose that game. But last year he was losing the

591
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: like random Big twelve teams. Two years ago he lost

592
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: a Kansas. But talent wise, from what I've been told,

593
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: it's big time. They got first rounders everywhere, They got

594
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: a lot of firepower, and Oklahoma is clearly down, so

595
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: no excuses. Obviously. In the SEC, got Georgia, Bama, LSU, Clemson,

596
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: Florida State, It's gonna be really good, Michigan, Ohio State, USC,

597
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: I think Washington's going to be really good. We'll Oregon

598
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: college football. Man, I can't wait. Hey, let's dive into

599
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: a little mailbag at John Middlecopp is the Instagram fire

600
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: in those dms, get your question answered here on the pod.

601
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: We'll start with Mike hey John with Week one around

602
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: the Corner. I was hoping to hear your thoughts on

603
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: this year's group of in the loaded AFC. Being a

604
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: Bengals fan in Cali, I have a ton of friends

605
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: that are Raider fans. They are all insistent they're easily

606
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: a playoff team. I just don't see it. In the

607
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: AFC had the Chiefs, Chargers, Bengals, Jack Bills, Dolphins, who

608
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: all feel like playoff locks. I don't know about the Dolphins,

609
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: but I agree with you and the other ones. That

610
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: gives you one wild card left for the Jets, Steelers, Ravens, Browns, Titans.

611
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: I just don't see the Raiders. I think the Steelers

612
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: are going to make the playoffs. So you know, the Chiefs,

613
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers, the obviously, the Bengals, the Bills, the Jags. Yeah,

614
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: it's just it's very, very difficult. I think the Raiders

615
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: could be dramatically improved. You can win ten games in

616
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: the AFC and not make the playoffs. Remember a couple

617
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: of years ago you had to win eleven. I would

618
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: guess it would be that right to me. The Bengals

619
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 1: Steelers are both twelve plus win teams easily. The Ravens

620
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: could get back into that mix. I would say the

621
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: Bills are going to be good. The Jets, I was

622
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: gonna pick them to win the division, and you watch

623
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: hard Knocks. They can't block anybody. Makes me nervous them.

624
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: Are the Dolphins? Probably one of those two teams is

625
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: making the play Yeah it's hard. So I would not

626
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: pick the Raiders to make the playoffs though I think

627
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: I said this the other day on the podcast. I

628
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: do think they could be dramatically better, and dramatically better,

629
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: could be nine wins right, just to have some flaws.

630
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how good their defense is, but I'm

631
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: with you, I would feel pretty good. I mean, if

632
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: you're a Chiefs, Bengals or Charger fan, excuse me, if

633
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: you're a Chiefs, Bengals or Bills fan, you feel like

634
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: it's a lock. Jags fan, I think are gonna start

635
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: feeling like we're just a lock every year. If they

636
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: make it this year, the Chargers should make it. Same

637
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: with the Steelers. Yeah, it's just it's hard. I mean,

638
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: are the Browns gonna suck? They're paying a quarterback seven

639
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars, so a lot of moving parts for sure.

640
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: Using my wife's Instagram, join the Bald Brotherhood this weekend.

641
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: Love the Look happy. I did it. It was needed.

642
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: I feel you dog. Do you have any tips on

643
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: new members. I'm finding that I I probably don't know

644
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: basics like shampoo, what to use to shave daily maintenance.

645
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: Also need to add Bald Brotherhood to the merch. Love

646
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: the Pod agreed, I would say a couple things. My

647
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: head after probably a couple months of shaving, I don't

648
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: use a mirror anything, so I shave in the shower

649
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: and it took a while to get pretty used to it. Now.

650
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: One thing you gotta do is I treat my head

651
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: right at the top of my head, surrounding my head

652
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: like I do my face. So I don't use any shampoo.

653
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't have any hair. I just use face wash

654
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: all over my head. Now, the key is when you

655
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: shave your head like your face. I have sensitive skin.

656
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the right way to put it,

657
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: but I definitely get skin that gets dry fast. Because

658
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: it gets it can get oily. Then you wipe it

659
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: off and it can get dry. I have to moisturize,

660
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: So right after I shave my head, I use a

661
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: lot of lotion and I just use like luberderm, you know,

662
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: no scent, but and I use it all over my

663
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: face like I would on my cheeks as I do

664
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: in the back of my head. So basically your head

665
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: all becomes one. Right. You know when you lotion your body,

666
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: it's all just one motion, like you don't think any

667
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: different of your shoulder as you do your knee or

668
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: your calf as your back, right, you just rub lotional.

669
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: I treat my face like that, same with washing it

670
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: no shampoo, and this is me. I mean, all of

671
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: our skin types are different, but I haven't used shampoo

672
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 1: in ten years. Welcome to the club man. You can't

673
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: have the cul de sac these days. My dad could

674
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: pull it off in like the eighties. It's like you

675
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 1: can't be a guy in your twenties or thirties rocking

676
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: a cul de sac. Those days are good. This is

677
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: a good forty nine ers question. Why do you think

678
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: the media does not make fun of the forty nine

679
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: ers when at the end they have the same number

680
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: of winning Super Bowls as the Cowboys. Bottom line, if

681
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: you don't win, it doesn't count. Yeah, I don't agree

682
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: with that. Right, there is a small percentage of teams

683
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: in all of sports that can be like super Bowl,

684
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: World Series, NBA Finals, Championship or bust if you're getting

685
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: to the final four or the chance. Like the Eagles

686
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: had an incredible season last year, I don't care what

687
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: you say. They had a fucking unreal year. The Chiefs

688
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: have really the last couple of years been the only

689
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or BUS team the Bills. Their problem was

690
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: not that they lost in the playoffs, it was they

691
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: got worked in the second round. If the Chiefs had

692
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: got or the Bills had lost the Chiefs on the

693
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: road in the AFC Championship game, it wouldn't have been

694
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: It would have sucked, but it still would have been

695
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: an awesome year. Right. The Bengals had an awesome year.

696
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have not been to the conference championship game

697
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: since I was in middle school. I'm a bald thirty

698
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: eight year olds, So yeah, the forty nine ers have

699
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: not won a Super Bowl since nineteen ninety four. They've

700
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: been to six conference championship games since twenty eleven. Right, six?

701
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: So I don't know, man like was the Harbaugh era

702
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: not successful? But how many teams in college football this

703
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: year can be championship or bust? USC can't, Michigan can't.

704
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: Like if Michigan wins a playoff game and gets to

705
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: the championship and loses, it's a big deal. If LSU

706
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: gets to the Final four Brian Kelly and loses, like

707
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: that's a that's an accomplishment. I'm sorry, Like I don't

708
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: view it like getting to the playoffs for some franchises

709
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: is a really big deal. If the Jets make the

710
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: playoffs this year, it was a success, major success. Last

711
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: year I saw with the Sacramento Kings they had gone

712
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 1: well over a decade without making the playoffs. They host

713
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: the Warriors as the number three, the Warriors are the six,

714
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: and they lose. They had a very very successful year.

715
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: This is not Most people are not Tiger Woods or

716
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady or Roger fans. Right, It's not like win

717
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: the championship or else. If Josh Allen got to a

718
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: super Bowl and lost, I'm sorry, that's a successful year.

719
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: It is Joe Burrow a couple of years ago gets

720
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and loses, that's very successful. The Cowboys

721
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: get made fun of one. They're the biggest brand in

722
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: the NFL and they haven't even been in the conference

723
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: championship game in twenty five years. If the Dallas Cowboys

724
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: this season get to the conference championship game and lose

725
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles or lose to the forty nine Ers, yes,

726
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: it would be very disappointing. That would be a successful year.

727
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: They've done something they haven't done in twenty five years.

728
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys were to make the Super Bowl and lose,

729
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's not like, well, there's only one winner. Yeah,

730
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: they didn't win the super Bowl. It's a fucking awesome year. Like, ultimately,

731
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: this is a business, and the business like you still

732
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: get paid if you have success in the playoffs and

733
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: don't win at all. Right, if you make it the

734
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: final four in basketball, like, that's success. What San Diego

735
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: State did last year getting worked in the championship by

736
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: Yukon was the greatest moment in the history of the school. Now,

737
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: obviously it's different in college in the pros, but ultimately

738
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: a point is just get to the conference shampiship game.

739
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: I just got done listening to MMQB podcast and Connor

740
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: decided to be a free agent fan personally, what is

741
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: your favorite team and if you had to choose again,

742
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: would you have a new favorite team. I'm a Rams

743
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: fan because they weren't with me in Saint Louis. However,

744
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: if I had to choose again, I would be a

745
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: Jets fan because I lived in Long Island for a while.

746
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: Back in Chad Pennington days, I may be a fan

747
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: of shitty teams. Lol. I grew up I was a

748
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: diehard forty nine er fan. I love the forty nine

749
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: ers more than anything since I've been doing this, Like,

750
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: I still root for them and watch them, but it's

751
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: not nearly the same. My fandom is just so different.

752
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: Like I have another podcast we talk all about the

753
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. I want them to win because I

754
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: make more money. My relationship is just different now when

755
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: I watch them, I'm rooting for them to win. It's

756
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: still it's i'd say the last couple years, it's come

757
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: back a little bit, but it's not nearly the same

758
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: as when I was a kid. My fan days are

759
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: just way different now. Like I get a lot of

760
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: joy rooting against the Lakers, right, Like I get a

761
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: lot of joy rooting against I don't even know I

762
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: guess just the Lakers. They're the only team that I

763
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: really kind of don't like. I root for the Chiefs

764
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: honestly the way in football, Like, I just root for

765
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. I know. I've been a lot

766
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: of forty nine er fans are rooting against the Eagles,

767
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: like I like the Eagles. I got a lot of

768
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: friends on the staff. I can text her GM, it'll

769
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: text me right back, like that's it's kind of unique, right,

770
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean, people I know for different teams like I

771
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: root for I want to see guys I know in

772
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: the league have success. So it's just my fan days

773
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: are just a lot different now. I'd be lying if

774
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: like the forty nine Ers don't do fun shit, I'm

775
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: not like excited. But it's a lot different than once

776
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: I started working in this business. It's just not quite

777
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: the same. You know, Cam Hayward came on this podcast.

778
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: If I shot him at DM, DM me right back,

779
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: like I'm be lying to you. If I'm not going

780
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: to say, like I'm rooting for them to have success,

781
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: I want to see him do well. I root for anyone.

782
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 1: If I meet you and you're either a professional athlete,

783
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: you're a coach, and I like you, like I'm going

784
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: to root for you. That's just the way I'm kind

785
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: of wired. I think it's a lot of the way

786
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: we're wired. Like when we're young, we root for people

787
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: from our home area, right, Like think of people where

788
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: you grew up, if you knew anyone that made the

789
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: Big Leagues or the NBA, like you just kind of

790
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: root for those guys. Like when I was a kid, Woodland,

791
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: California is right around the corner from where I grew up.

792
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: Dustin Pedroia was from there, the Red Sox, Like I

793
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: always rooted for Dustin Padrouit. I didn't know the guy,

794
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: I'd never met him. And then when I got associated

795
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: with Fresde State, like anyone i'd meet through Fresdley State,

796
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: I just kind of rooted for in any sport, whether

797
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: it was professional baseball, basketball, And I'm kind of still

798
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: like that. I just root for people that I know

799
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: or kind of like so my like when I was

800
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: a true fan, like I didn't operate like that it

801
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: was my team or else. And that's where it's kind

802
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: of changed a lot. I still relate like most of

803
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: my friends, at least from California are definitely forty nine

804
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: er fans, so I like seeing them have joy. It's

805
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: just not quite the same. I guess you would call

806
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: me a forty nine er fan, but most of you

807
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 1: guys are probably more die hard in terms of your

808
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: parameters around it. Hey, John, question for the pod any

809
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: sleeper defenses this year? It's a good question. I wonder

810
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: if the Lions could be pretty good on defense. I mean,

811
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: their D line should be pretty good. Their linebacker play

812
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 1: could be improved. Secondary is definitely up in the air,

813
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: but I wanted the Lions. You could watch the Lions

814
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: and be like, Damn, the Vikings were so terrible last year,

815
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: you would think they would be improved. I haven't really

816
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: gone like roster and roster from an offensive defensive perspective beside,

817
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: just like big picture topics than like specific defenses that

818
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: come to my mind in theory. The Chargers right, Joey's healthy,

819
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: Khalil's healthy, j C. Jackson's healthy, They did Derwin James.

820
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: They had stretches last year where they were one of

821
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: the better defenses. Do you think Lincoln Riley will typically

822
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: have the best quarterback to turn pro in each draft,

823
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: and if his quarterbacks are eligible outside of Baker, he

824
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: seems to be on that trajectory. If you were a

825
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: GM and you needed a quarterback, would you prefer to

826
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 1: draft one under Lincoln Riley Treat instead of any other

827
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: college coach. I don't think you really think about it

828
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: like that. Obviously, if you are comfortable with the coach, right,

829
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: you feel good about but you got to feel good

830
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: about the player. So if you watch Drake May, Let's say,

831
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: if I'm just an evaluator or Bo Nicks or whoever,

832
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix, what if I don't know their coordinator that

833
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: well or know anything about the coaching staff. If I'm

834
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: a GM, like I don't have a personal relationship with him,

835
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: but I love the player, it doesn't necessarily matter that.

836
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: Whoever the head coach is, Kaylin du Bohr at Washington,

837
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 1: who's good. But I'm saying, if I don't know anything

838
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: about him, I'm not going to be inclined to be

839
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: like gravitate away from him or toward them. If I

840
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: like the player, I like the player. Now I hear

841
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Most of the guys that he's had

842
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: beside Jalen, like Baker went one, Kyler went one, Calem

843
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: is gonna go one. So unless you have the number

844
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,959
Speaker 1: one pick, you're not getting Lincoln's quarterbacks. You're more likely

845
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: to get all these other quarterbacks throughout the country that

846
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: go in the middle rounds, Like, can I get a

847
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: guy in the second round from coach X? Right, I

848
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. The problem, though, I do think

849
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: it gets back to Okay, let's just say I'll draft

850
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: Lincoln's quarterback most of them, if he's good, is going

851
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: to go really high. Clearly he said this is gonna

852
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: be a third number one overall pick. Think about that

853
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: third number one overall pick and not that long. And

854
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: if you give him Jalen, if you could do that

855
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: one over, he's sure as hell wouldn't have gone in

856
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 1: the second round. So I don't think you can really

857
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: do that. I think it's easier to do with other positions.

858
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: With quarterback, it's like, is going to translate to your

859
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: offense because most people aren't gonna run Lincoln's offense. Right,

860
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: Whoever drafts Caleb is probably not gonna run Lincoln Riley's offense.

861
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: In all seriousness, why does Brian Hoyer still have a job?

862
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: Every time I've seen him come into a game the

863
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: last five years, it's an absolute disaster. What's the role

864
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: of a quarterback two or three during camp in the season. Well,

865
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: we talk about this a lot with backup quarterbacks a

866
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,919
Speaker 1: lot of teams. And this gets back to what Tom

867
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: Moore said with Peyton Manning, Right, Why doesn't any of

868
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: the backup quarterbacks get any of the reps? Why does

869
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: Peyton get them all? Because if Peyton goes down, we're fucked,

870
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: and we don't practice fucked. There's a reason you give

871
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Josh out. You go through the top fifteen quarterbacks,

872
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Dak Prescott, you name it. They're getting all

873
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: the reps at practice if they go down. Now, ideally

874
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: you have Brock Purty behind there, Cooper Rush or a

875
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: guy that you can keep winning if you're a good team. Right,

876
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: But like I'll ask you, if you're an Eagle fan,

877
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: do you think you could win with Marcus Mariota, Because

878
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I actually don't think he could. Definitely

879
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: you might be able to win a game. But if

880
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: Jalen was out a month, you could easily have a

881
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: one in three month. Because Marksmarrier does not look good

882
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: but he's not alone, like you said, Hoyer, Matt Barkley.

883
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: All these quarterbacks, most backup quarterbacks, their main job is

884
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: actually closer to a coach than it is a player.

885
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: One they service the defense during practice, and two they're

886
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: there to support the coaching staff slash starter in game plan,

887
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: help him out, be like a shoulder to lean on.

888
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: It's almost like having an assistant, right. The difference is

889
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: is if like a CEO has an assistant that he

890
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: relies on, and I've seen it in football, right, the

891
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: head coach has a personal assistant that that guy does

892
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: a lot for him. But if the head coach were

893
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: to go down, the personal assistant does not become the

894
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: head coach, right, a coordinator does. If a CEO were

895
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: to go down, his assistant him or herror would not

896
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: then take over for the CEO like the CFO would.

897
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: Where at football, this guy has a role of an

898
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: assistant toward the quarterback, coach, coordinator and starting quarterback. But

899
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 1: if that quarterback goes down, that number two quarterback has

900
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: to play. And as we see over and over and

901
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: over again, if it's not like a drafted player, if

902
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: it's a guy like Brian Hoyer, if it's Chase Daniel,

903
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: who all these teams like, like they really like the person,

904
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: they love him being around because coaches spent a lot

905
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: of time with him. You need your quarterback to be happy,

906
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: but if that guy has to play, you're screwed. That's

907
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,240
Speaker 1: why everyone got so excited when Chad Henney had success

908
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: from the Chiefs. Right, it was a cool moment. So

909
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't really know what to say beside it's a

910
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,919
Speaker 1: strong balance of there are only so many really good

911
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: people that are also really good backups, right, most backups

912
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: are just bad. Tough job man? Really is this guy

913
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: forwarded me a video of Tyreek talking at Pratt this

914
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: saying the way that he gets ready for a game

915
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: is he plays Madden and the ratings on the DB's

916
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: speed awareness ball skills he uses in the games. And

917
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: the question is, do you think he really doesn't watch

918
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: film or is he just trying to gain something on

919
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: young NFL players. I think he's somewhat joking, right, This

920
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: isn't totally serious because even if you don't watch film

921
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: on your own, the majority of your week in the

922
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: facility Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are not You only practice

923
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: a couple hours day. You're there six seven eight hours

924
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: meeting rooms. You're watching film with your position coach, so

925
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: you know the strengths and weaknesses on the dbs, on

926
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: the linebackers, and on the safeties through watching him with

927
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator and the wide receiver coach. So tyreeks

928
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: saying he does this, but he probably does. He is

929
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 1: still watching film on the own it with the coaching

930
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: staff and his wide receiver unit throughout the week. He's

931
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: also kind of rare because he's just a freak. Was that?

932
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: A Middlekoff, big fan of the show, saw this and

933
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: reminded me when you were talking about the players in

934
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 1: the NFL gambling, you are one hundred percent right. These

935
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 1: gambling companies don't play and they will snitch on anyone

936
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: no matter what they say is trustworthy. So this was

937
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: west Ham shirt sponsor identified the suspicious bets on Lucas Bakita.

938
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: So something happened in soccer. Yeah, I mean, it's just

939
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: pretty simple. They they will turn people in. These gambling

940
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: companies are being They're cool with being opening their books

941
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: and being regulated and monitored by the government. They're in

942
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: cahoots with the governments. They want to be above board,

943
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: so they have no problem being complete, deletely transparent. Right.

944
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: It's why sometimes you butt heads the government with the Googles,

945
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: the facebooks, the Whoever's. They're like, what, we don't even

946
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: need the government. We're clearly at any moment and for

947
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: a long period of time, the shit was not legal.

948
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: So these players have to be cognizant of the fact,

949
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: and they're clearly. I bet every team has talked about

950
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: this NonStop at training hand in the NFL and definitely

951
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: in college. If you bet you will go down, they

952
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: will catch you. You cannot avoid it. They are paying

953
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people, I'm sure, and people listening to this.

954
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: If you work for one of these companies, I'm sure

955
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: you have staff members that just monitor this. You want

956
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: to turn them in because it makes you look good.

957
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 1: As crazy as that sounds, big Steeler fan so partially biased,

958
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: but nobody seems to be giving them a chance to season.

959
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: They get no national coverage at all. Look at what

960
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: this team has done in the draft in the offseason.

961
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: Watch the tape. They've added series talent on each side

962
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: of the ball, the depth weapons. Can he come in

963
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: off a second half where he went seven to two?

964
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: I think they're going to make some noise this year

965
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: and have a legitimate shot at making the playoffs. Hell,

966
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: maybe even win the division. It's almost five to one.

967
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: Just wanted your thoughts on the team. I talked about

968
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: it yesterday. I'm bullish. I think they have a very

969
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: good chance to win the division, and if they don't

970
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: win the division, I think they're a playoff two. I

971
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: think the Steelers are going to the playoffs right now.

972
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite picks of the year. Steelers playoffs.

973
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean shit, they were right there last year. But

974
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: the only thing is, you know, it's hard in the AFC,

975
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: but I'm picking them. I think they make the playoffs

976
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: Week one. I've said it over and over. I think

977
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: it's the best Sunday Week one game. Thursday is going

978
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: to be awesome. Monday Night is going to be awesome. Sunday.

979
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: That's the game Steelers Niners. I think a lot of

980
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 1: the sharps are going to take the Steelers plus the points.

981
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 1: When it comes to Tomlin and the Steelers, they seem

982
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: to get no love to the national media a lot.

983
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: Here's what I don't understand. This is where I my

984
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: separation between fandom because I do this, who and listen,

985
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: I guess was I like this when I was eighteen?

986
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 1: The game's changed a lot in the last twenty years.

987
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: Who gives a shit if people are talking about you

988
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: or not. You know you're good. You're the fucking Steelers.

989
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: I understand when you're like the little Engine that could,

990
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: if you're like the Tampa Bay Rays and no one

991
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: talking about you. But you're one of the most important, iconic,

992
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: successful brands in the most important league. You matter, You

993
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: matter a lot. So whether they open up with you

994
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: on first take or coward, why does it? It does

995
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:45,959
Speaker 1: not matter who cares. Do not worry about people talking

996
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: about you. You win games, they are going to talk

997
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: about you. Like I said, I said this yesterday. You

998
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: haven't won a playoff games since the twenty sixteen season,

999
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: so what are they supposed to do? And part of

1000
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: it is, like part of this question is Lamar is

1001
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: a losing record against the Steelers during the time when Tyler,

1002
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: when Tomlin was dealing with quarterbacks. Lamar is just more

1003
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: of a story. The contract holdouts, the drama. You got Burrow,

1004
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: who's a superstar like Watson two hundred and thirty million,

1005
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: like they're just crazy more polarizing topics. It doesn't mean

1006
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: those teams are gonna be better than you this upcoming season.

1007
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 1: But in the offseason, we just what's there to state

1008
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: by the Steelers, like watch out what Kenny Pickett is

1009
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: gonna be better? Like what there's not you don't have?

1010
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: Like the juicy conversations. It's easy to talk about Trey

1011
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: Lance or Zach Wilson last year, Like is Mike McCarthy

1012
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 1: gonna get fired? Mike tom was not going anywhere? You

1013
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 1: guys are gonna play defense. Kenny Pickett takes a step

1014
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: like your conversation. Listen, this is a good thing. Are

1015
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: just not crazy enough right now? Which if I was

1016
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: an NFL Fanta's way, I would like it, like we're

1017
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: just slow, steady, We're gonna be there. Our defense is

1018
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: really good. Let's fucking play some football. Like the Jets

1019
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: are shouldn't be as good as you, but there are

1020
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: more interesting right now. They just are at We're kind

1021
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: of in the interesting business from a content standpoint. Will

1022
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: you be doing season predictions, division winners, playoff teams, awards,

1023
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: championship games and Super Bowls? I definitely will do Yeah,

1024
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean probably I'm sure I will. I'll definitely pick

1025
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: the divisions, maybe picked Super Bowl teams awards. I mean,

1026
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: there's like five guys who could win the MVP, right,

1027
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: one of the five quarterbacks? Isn't that? You know, Burrow Mahomes,

1028
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: Allen if Jalen Lamar. I mean short, it's a quarterback award. Now,

1029
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 1: what's it going to take for another position player to win?

1030
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: It feels impossible. JJ Watt didn't win it years ago, Like,

1031
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone else can win it. So it's

1032
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the quarterbacks. I haven't really thought

1033
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: about the other ones, Comeback Player of the award, Defensive

1034
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: Player of the Year award, even Defensive Player of the

1035
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: Year award. Like, let's face it is that like a

1036
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: list of five guys Bosa, TJ Micah. I mean, if

1037
00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: Chris Jones is healthy, maybe a corner. But what would

1038
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 1: it take for a corner to win it? Like Patrick

1039
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: Surtain fifteen picks or something that sounds outrageous when it

1040
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: came out of my mouth. Last question? Love football, but

1041
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: haven't played since middle school. You know what's funny, I

1042
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: was walking. I was at home a couple weeks ago

1043
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 1: when I went to Lake Tahoe and I stayed at

1044
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: my mom's house and I was going for a walk

1045
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: and I realized, I haven't I The fall of two

1046
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: thousand and three is when I went to college. So

1047
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,479
Speaker 1: twenty years ago I went off to college. That means

1048
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: I haven't played. Last time I ever played football was

1049
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: in high school twenty one years and I loved I

1050
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: was not a very good player, but I loved playing

1051
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: high school football. Well, my friends, it was awesome. I mean,

1052
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: anyone that played high schol football, I think wuld agree

1053
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: that's a long time ago. Just kind of got nostalgic

1054
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: about I'm on this walk in my hometown. Anyone listened

1055
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 1: to this right now still playing high school football or

1056
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 1: college football, fucking enjoy it, because all of a sudden

1057
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: you'll be looking twenty years have gone by, You're like,

1058
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: holy shit, I'm getting old. A question that I've always

1059
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: had is how do college scouts determine which position a

1060
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: high school standout should be recruited for. It seems that

1061
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: amazing high school athletes play both sides of the ball

1062
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 1: O line and D line wide receiver, dB, running back, linebacker, etc.

1063
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: What determines if you recruit a stud high school lineman

1064
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: to play O line or D line. Well, like when

1065
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: I was at Fresnel State, Like you said, most of

1066
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: the top players play both ways. Now it depends. Some

1067
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: guys don't, right, A quarterback might not, but a lot

1068
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: of and I would say, depending on the high school,

1069
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: some running backs don't, but a lot of linemen. If

1070
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: you're the star offensive tackle, you also play defensive line.

1071
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: If you're the star linebacker, you probably play tight end

1072
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: or whatever. I think it's pretty clear at the highest level,

1073
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: like Division one football, what you're best at, and then

1074
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: if you have any question marks, you recruit the player,

1075
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: You meet the player, you deal with the coaches, and

1076
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: you kind of feel it out from there. So it's

1077
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: just a process. I think, if I remember correctly when

1078
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: I was at Fresno State, it is pretty clear the

1079
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: guy's standout position, right, and I think wide receiver dB.

1080
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes you want the guy to play dB and he

1081
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: loves playing wide receiver because scoring touchdowns is more fun

1082
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 1: than chasing the guy around. But you try to convince

1083
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: them and they're always, let's face it, Sometimes you recruit

1084
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: a guy that you go you could play O line

1085
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: or D line. You could be an will recruit you

1086
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: as an athlete. We'll see if you play wide receiver

1087
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: or dB. But usually the head coach has an idea

1088
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: and then maybe it changes as he gets to camp

1089
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: and practice. But I think at the highest level it

1090
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: kind of sorts itself out in college and some are

1091
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: excuse me, in high school and some of the guys

1092
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: that don't. The coach has an idea, but he's willing

1093
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: to see which way it looks once he gets to school.

1094
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: And now with the ability to transfer, like if you

1095
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: accept playing a position, right, if you go I'm a guard,

1096
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: but I want to play d line and me to

1097
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: play guard, you can always transfer. Appreciate everyone. We'll win

1098
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: on that one. That's a good question. I don't think

1099
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: there's a right or wrong way if it's really close,

1100
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: but most guys that are, you know, I would say

1101
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: anywhere from like Mountain West acc to the Power five

1102
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: have pretty well established and depending on the school, you

1103
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: throw out the athlete. But I think the linemen usually

1104
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: determined right. There are only so many guys like Miles Jack.

1105
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: I remember when he went to UCLA he could play

1106
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: linebacker and running back. Usually got to pick one at

1107
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: the at the highest level of college football. Appreciate everyone listening.

1108
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 1: Have a great day. We will talk soon. Fire in

1109
00:59:41,400 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: those dms at John Middlecoff. The volume
