Speaker 1: get uh coming back to the show is shared from Subway.

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: I was very concerning a man that had his own

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: legal entanglements. I didn't have legal entanglements. I was fulfilling

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: a civic duty. Dan, your case is over though, yes

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: it is, Oh it is, it is over. Yeah. I

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: was meant to go through Friday and then it's suddenly

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: like within you have no idea what's happening. Suddenly within

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: like ten minutes in the courtroom, both both sides were like, yeah,

16
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: we're good, We're Uh where was where was the courthouse?

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: Downtown l A worse worse? Specifically, how did you get there?

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: Hubert Uber shared Uber rides are are the new are

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: my new thing. I love them. Oh, you get to

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: meet a lot of different people, I mean, you know,

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: meet them. But it was like like the uber ride

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: to downtown a is twenty seven dollars, a shared Uber

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: ride was eight. So the court dockets related to your

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: specific case, could they be found in public records? Yeah?

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: I happened the middle of my bag. Are you are

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: you thinking that I did not go? It's ridiculous. It

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: was a big I believe me. One thing that I've

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: found and whenever I'm away in general is like Twitter

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: in general is the first thing I believe if I

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: leave this industry and I saw tweets like are you

31
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: really a jury duty? It's like, could you possibly have

32
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: anything more to do with your time than be concerned

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: if I'm actually there or not? It's all right, So

34
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: I'll check out that paperwork after the show. Um, I

35
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: got it for you, bro. It is good to have

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: you back. That Mark, though, Mark, it was you were missing.

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: Oh he literally whipped out his paperwork the date. It

38
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: doesn't look like it's been doctored. Okay, it's official. Well Mark,

39
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: thank you for doing your civic duty. No, thank you, America.

40
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: Thanks you. This is the Wednesday edition of You Around

41
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast. Big Show coming up today, A nice

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: saucy offseason show. Um, I'm gonna talk about I don't know,

43
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: called the Curse of the Chris Westling features one of

44
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: the most prominent stars of a top NFC offense is

45
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: going on the shelf unless he has his way in

46
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: a court. Isn't in a court. It's not officially a

47
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: court unless it goes to the courts there an appeal

48
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: is what I'm getting at. But when you appeal a suspension,

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: as mark ingram, probably he's gonna do well, he's he

50
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: already has that was there. We'll get into. But they

51
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: that was an agent something the agent put out there

52
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: in the league quickly said this case is already wrapped.

53
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: Would be the Curse of the U s O trip

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: because I like it. I like aligning it with west

55
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: more interesting. Well we'll get we'll get all that, uh.

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: And also coming up today, um the zooser wrote a

57
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: banger top ten storylines to watch this offseason, so we'll

58
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: u uh that piece of writing. And also don't forget

59
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: as teased on Monday's show, actually can we get a

60
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: little bit of um that glorious guitar for this one? No,

61
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: Greg Mark, I know you ingested Monday show, so you're

62
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: aware of this. But ah, yeah, clearly not, since he

63
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: had no idea you questioned his Jerry Doody coming up

64
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: at the end of this episode. This is called a tease.

65
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: All right. One man not known for being an open

66
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: book opens up the book and shares a major personal revelation.

67
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: Greg rosenhalp Oh, I forgot about that. Wow your words

68
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: I got. Yeah, So that's all closed the show. Let's

69
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: do some news. Yeah, we will stop this tournament right now.

70
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: We don't. And this is ridiculous. It is a cornal

71
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: tournament fundraiser. Cut the crap. One of my favorite viral

72
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: videos of two thousand eighteen so far is a a

73
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: dad filled fistfight breaking out at a cornhole tournament at

74
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: some you know, blue Sky State. I would assume I've

75
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: been involved in a lot of cornhole tournaments over the years.

76
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: I've been involved in athletics with read Next quite a

77
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: bit over the years. I've never seen a fight at

78
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: a cornhole game. Well, this one was. This was a

79
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: great one, and I asked Lindsay specifically to leave. In

80
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: the very very end, after the organizer um disciplines the

81
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: men for their stupidity, you hear a guy in the

82
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: deep faint background go he started. Let me hear that again, Lizzie.

83
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: Yes he's back. Go sit on the steps all right. So, Yes,

84
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: as we UH alluded to at the very top of

85
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: the show, the Saints are gonna lose one of their

86
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: very best players uh for the first quarter of the season.

87
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram suspended by the league without pay of the

88
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: first four games for violating the NFL's policy on p

89
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: E d s. The league announced Tuesday. Ingram led the

90
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: Saints last season with eleven rushing yards, was an all

91
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: purpose beast, just like his backfield running mate Alvin Kamara,

92
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: but now is going to be a one man show. UH.

93
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: The appeal, as we also alluded to, has already been made. UH.

94
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: Ingram is allowed to participate in all off season and

95
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: preseason practices and games. Mark, will start with you on

96
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: this one. Did you know this is coming? Because Mark

97
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: Ingram was on the U s O tour not not

98
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: at all, And I find that I don't know when

99
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: he would have known it. It does sound like the

100
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: team knew about it for some time, but at least weeks,

101
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: but probably maybe since you got back. There was a

102
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: lot of theories in the news room immediately from not

103
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: just from people that work for this pocket just wondering, like,

104
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: what what happened on that trip? Didn't Mark? You did say,

105
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: give him some supplements? Are we are we doing p

106
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: e d s in Italy and Germany? And they You're right,

107
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: it is a p D. This is not recreational. But

108
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: you did say they slipped away for long hours of

109
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: partying and also working out. Well, Honestly, what I didn't

110
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: notice from all those guys and like, it's that they

111
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: were despite being kind of on a leisurely week, every morning,

112
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: those dudes were working out like an hour and a half,

113
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: two and two and a half hours, which made me

114
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: feel ridiculous by comparison, and eating huge meals and stuff

115
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: like I'm only working out eighty minutes in the morning.

116
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: I didn't touch a gym the entire time that out there.

117
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: But I I don't know, I think this came completely

118
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: out of the blue. I I saw someone that seemed

119
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: super fired up for next season and like, couldn't have

120
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,559
Speaker 1: been kind of happier with the way his off season

121
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: was going. So the appeals already heard and denied by

122
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. So uh, Ingram will miss those four games

123
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: and wes you uh just on Monday show. We talked

124
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: about and you put up a great column about this.

125
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: You have the Saints is the number one offense? Are

126
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: they still the number one offense with Ingram out of

127
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: the mix? Well, he's only gonna miss a month season's format,

128
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,559
Speaker 1: you know, I'd say for the season? Alright, alright, smart Alec.

129
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: How much does he hurt there? Off him being absent

130
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: hurt their office? I'm trying to figure out, like how

131
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: to separate rap sheets reporting that Ingram hasn't been involved

132
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: in O t as is looking for a new contract,

133
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: and the Saints were planning to make Alvin Kamara their

134
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: feature back. Anyway, I'm not sure how all this works

135
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: with the suspension news, but if they're gonna make Alvin

136
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: Kamaro the feature back, they're already in much better shape

137
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: than most teams in the NFL, even without marketing group, right,

138
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: they can survive a month. In that month, They've got

139
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: the Giants, Bucks, Browns, and Falcons. You know, none of

140
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: those teams you would say have one of the best

141
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: defenses in the league. So I think they'll be fine

142
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: on offense with Sean Payton and all the weapons. The

143
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: report from Ian Rappaport, you just mentioned to me it

144
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: was much more interesting than the suspension. Suspensions happened all

145
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: the time they get back. He's gonna be back for

146
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: the key games. It sounds to me like Ingram wasn't

147
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: thrilled with his contract, perhaps or the Saints weren't thrilled

148
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: with him, that a trade was definitely possible, and that

149
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: when they found out about this failed test, that kind

150
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: of put that all on hold. He is not at

151
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: o t as Ian, Rappaport says, even though he's allowed

152
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: to be at the facility, he probably won't be there

153
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: unless he's required. So that's to me a kind of

154
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: a bigger story than the suspension. I agree, and I also,

155
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I do wonder though, because you know, and

156
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know every factor that went into

157
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: your west you make them the number one offense. But

158
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: I thought the way that you'd have Ingram and Kamara

159
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: on the field and defense has really had no idea

160
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: how either would be used on almost any given play.

161
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: Do we really see Alvin Kamara as a guy that

162
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: you simply make your loan workhorse. I don't know if

163
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: that's who that player is. I thought Ingram not. I

164
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: don't how can you take away what he did last season?

165
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: He was it was it was his best year by far. No,

166
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think per play efficiency Kamara

167
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: will not be nearly as good if he's stretched out

168
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: of that complementary rule. The thing is with Camara, though

169
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: people think of him like, oh, it's like it's like

170
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: almost like a Darren Sprowls guy. He's a third day

171
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: It's like, No, he's two hundred and fifteen pounds and

172
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: he runs over people sometimes at the goal line. We've seen.

173
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna make his living but at

174
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: the between the tackles runner. But he is absolutely big enough,

175
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: I think, and strong enough to be a three hundred

176
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: and fifty touch type of guy. And they'll they'll be

177
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: happy when Ingram does get back. They did report that

178
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: Dan uh, if you were at it did not happen

179
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: in Europe. He failed the test during the regular season.

180
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: It was the last, the last test. The agent said

181
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: it was at the last. Yeah, it's a little mirth.

182
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,239
Speaker 1: I'm just pointing out. No, it's good, it's good information.

183
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: This is an informational podcast. Here's a little more information.

184
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: Ingra will miss games against the Bucks Cleveland Brown's nice

185
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: shot by you, Mark at the Atlanta Falcons, and at

186
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: the Meadowlands against the Giants. Moving on west, you could

187
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: finally sleep. We know whether or not Kurt Warner will

188
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: return to the NFL. The NFL Network analyst and Pro

189
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Famer Um went on our own air

190
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: waves to confirm that, no, he will not be playing

191
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: anymore NFL football, but it doesn't mean he didn't think

192
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: about it. Warner revealed that he spoke to an NFL

193
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: coach earlier this offseason about the possibility of coming out

194
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: of retirement. Here's what he had to say to Andrew's Aciliano.

195
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: There was a lot of teams that were needy of

196
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback this offseason, and uh, you know, didn't have

197
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: a vet. We're probably gonna go with the young guy,

198
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: and so reached out to a coaching friend of mine.

199
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: I was in good shape, I was throwing the football

200
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: again and said, you know what, I think I can

201
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: give you one year if you need that one year bridge,

202
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: uh to the future. I'm your guy. But but as

203
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: I said, I don't think he took me seriously and

204
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: it was just kind of like whatever. They went out

205
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: and signed a quarterback. That was the end of that deal.

206
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, we were talking about it just

207
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: a little bit last night. I should have known that

208
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: it was going to blow up and do a full

209
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: fledged real life story when when there there really wasn't

210
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: that much to it. Has the ship sailed? Well, you know,

211
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: you never want to say never, but yeah, I mean,

212
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: obviously the older you get, you still have visions of

213
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: grandeur in your head. But but yeah, I mean, we're

214
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: we're getting too far away from this thing. Although I

215
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: do feel really good and I was slinging it pretty

216
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: good just a couple of months ago when I when

217
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: I was training. But uh, but yeah, I think it's

218
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: time that we say this thing is over. So Warner out,

219
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: Mark you can sleep. These stories kind of fascinating me,

220
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: just the mind of a professional athlete or a Hall

221
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: of famer, that your confidence never really leaves you, that

222
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: you you still believe you can play. I was reading

223
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: a story on T. J. Houshman Zatta, the former Bengals receiver,

224
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: the day before, and he said, you know, basically in

225
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: similar words, I firmly believe, whole hardly, in my heart

226
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: of hearts, I can line up as a number three

227
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: receiver after three months of working out. And I think

228
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: if you look back, like to Greg playing tennis, or

229
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: Dan playing softball, or Mark playing football when he was

230
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: in fifth grade, dominant great cornerback, like any act, when

231
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: you think about yourself and how good you are, don't

232
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: you always think of the hot streaks and figure I

233
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: can be that guy? And he like to me, I

234
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: always think, okay, at my best, If I can get

235
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: into that groove for an entire year, yeah I could.

236
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: I could see how an athlete would say, yeah, I

237
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: only picture myself at my best. In my heart of hearts,

238
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm confident I can do this. And he's kept him.

239
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: We know we see him very often around here, and

240
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: we also know that he uh takes good care of

241
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: himself and he sees what uh Tom Brady is doing

242
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: and what Drew Brees is doing. And I could see

243
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: why an all time quarterback could think an all time quarterback, yeah, yeah,

244
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: I think why he would think maybe I could do this. Maybe.

245
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't taken a snap in seven seasons,

246
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: and I was like trying to go back looking at

247
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: old offensive coordinators that he had to see who might

248
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: be this coach that maybe rose up through the ranks

249
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: that still has one. He was the one who wanted

250
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: to do it, which made me think it's got to

251
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: be the Cardinals, A because he's close with them, and

252
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: be because he already and they and they form again

253
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: and they were looking for right they said, well, we'll

254
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: we'll like, we'll find a quarterback in four or five

255
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: different ways this offseason. This is a fourth or fifth

256
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: different way deduction broll. It could be it had totally wrong,

257
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: but you gotta fi I think maybe what separates us

258
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: and athletes like that is no I know that I

259
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: was in so much better shape in high school, unfortunately

260
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: than I ever was gonna. I think that to the

261
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: me of today would have been like as a football

262
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: player back then, I was like, don't hit me. I

263
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: don't want to do this. It's like now you run

264
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: angry and you'd want to like take people out. Part

265
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: of the story that fascinates me, though, is it's the

266
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: off season, and how do these stories come about. It

267
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: only happened this story, we would not be talking about it.

268
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: He would not be on up to the minute. If

269
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: Rhodo Pat our friend Pat Doherty at Rhoda World didn't

270
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: happen to be watching the Cardinals game and hear that

271
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: and say what and then tweeted it out with the

272
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: video Literally would have just gone into the ether. No

273
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: one would have ever talked about it, and instead it

274
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: ended up programming like Sports Center and NFL Network just

275
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: because Pats of die hard Cards. I was gonna say,

276
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: wrote a nice job. I wrote a Pat. And also

277
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: he was on the art talking about because it's May night, right,

278
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Yeah, exactly a lot of time

279
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: to fill in other news. These are high times for

280
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, who believe they found their signal

281
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: caller of the future in Sam Donald, the number three

282
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: overall pick and right now and at the very top

283
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: the food chain that optimism is continuing to overflow. CEO

284
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: Christopher Johnson, who, uh, if you're not aware, is the

285
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: brother of Woody who is overseas as the American Ambassador

286
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: to England. Could he be more unplugged? Woody Johnson could

287
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: not be more unplugged. He's literally unplugged. Now. He is

288
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: out of the He's out of the machine. And Chris

289
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: Johnson has gotten some good reviews as his replacement or

290
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: temporary replacement. Here's what he had to say via ESPN

291
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: dot com. I honestly think people are gonna look back

292
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: twenty years from now and say this is the moment

293
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: the Jets shifted into a new gear, that they became

294
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: a great team. I'm pointing this out because from the

295
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: very top to all the fans, including me, it's a

296
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: very vulnerable, exciting, vulnerable, vulnerable time for Jets fans because

297
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: everyone is all in on this kid, and the owners

298
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: not even hiding it like that's a big statement. All

299
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: owners are gonna say, oh, yeah, we really think this

300
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: kid's got a bright future. We think we could put him,

301
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, build around him and make him a talented

302
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: quarterback in this league. When the owner is saying he's

303
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: the guy that changes everything forty years of misery, it's

304
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure and there's a lot of open

305
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: heartedness around the Jets, and you don't want to be hurt.

306
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: But this is what we're gonna find out about forty

307
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: Niners fans in December, But I think it applies to

308
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: Jets fans now. And this may say something about me

309
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: as a as a sports fan, but I don't think

310
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: there's anything more exciting than sports. Then a young, difference

311
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: making talent who has the potential to change everything about

312
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: your routine experience. Yeah, that you'd be surprised if Chris

313
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: Johnson and the Jets didn't feel this way about Sam

314
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: Donald after what they did. The difference is they're they're

315
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: comfortable just putting out there in public. They're not believing

316
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: and under promising and over delivering, and they might as

317
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: well hype it up sell some. It's not gonna I

318
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna make a difference whether he becomes

319
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: a great one or not, whether they hype him up

320
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: if well, yeah, the thing about m Donald's yeah, Donald's

321
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: not go, it's not. I don't. I think the pressure.

322
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: I think Sam Donald's one of the quarterbacks based on

323
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: sort of the neck up that I don't think it's

324
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: going to rattle him the way it might someone else

325
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: and you didn't. You have to have the right team

326
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: around someone to make it successful. It can't just be

327
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: him and no one else. But it's a little different

328
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: than Niners fans in the sense that Niners fans, you know,

329
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: depending on your age, you've either lived through multiple Super

330
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: Bowls or you just went to one. A couple of

331
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: years ago. You've had it, You've had those NFC title

332
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: game wins. Outside of a a brief run with Rex Ryan,

333
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: the Jets fans have been through utter bleak hell and

334
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: embarrassing hell in many ways too. So the idea that

335
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: it could turn around is crazy. It's a it's a

336
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: reality shift. A big part of this reaction on the

337
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: Jets part is that, as Ian said yesterday on NFL,

338
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: up to the minute, the Jets made that trade believing

339
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: that Baker Mayfield was going to be their quarterback at

340
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: number three, even though they had Sam Donald number one

341
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: on their board. They just never at any point considered

342
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: the idea that Sam Donald will fall to them at three.

343
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: So now here they are sitting there extremely happy to

344
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: get a guy they never thought they had a shot

345
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: and that that stuff never happens for the Jets. Would

346
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: they would. We'll see if it turns out to be

347
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: a major break for them. But that's part of the

348
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: shock and excitement around the team is that it seemed

349
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: like they could have caught a break here. Uh. In

350
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: other news, a former Jet, Brandon Marshall, has been on

351
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: the free agent line since the New York Giants cut

352
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: ties into a couple of weeks ago. He's meeting with

353
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: the Seahawks today. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network,

354
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: thirty four years old, awful last season, just never got

355
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: going with Eli and then Um suffered a lower body

356
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: injury that knocked out ended the season prematurely. Uh. We

357
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: talked about Marshall after he got released, Greg Uh, and

358
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: we're kind of a little skeptical that whether he'd get

359
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: a job or not. Do you think he would be

360
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: a fit in Seattle. I don't know if he has

361
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: much to offer any team, but it did point out

362
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: to me how depleted this Seattle receiver corps is when

363
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: I looked at it. I'm gonna be doing them next

364
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: week in the projected starters check it out NFL dot

365
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: com slash slash projected starters even too. How about that, Well,

366
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: don't confuse the people if it's the slash projected stuff,

367
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: or get a broken r L NFL dot Com slash

368
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: projected Starters. I thought, I thought Russell Wilson had maybe

369
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: his best wide receiver crew he ever had in Seattle

370
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: last year. But now it's Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, and

371
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: who knows after Jaron Brown and Ed Dixon. So if,

372
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: if never there's a team that at least could kick

373
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: the tires, give Marshall a shot, this would be it.

374
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, but that said Brandon Marshall to me looked

375
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just surprised that he's going anywhere outside of

376
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: the New York City area because of his television requirements.

377
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: If he winds up there, well, now it seems like

378
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: he's making that decision. I really want to play another year,

379
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: and it's not going to be a perfect setup for

380
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: me anymore if that, if I do go down, it's

381
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: surprised if he makes the team Seahawks don't make the

382
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: playoffs that Brandon Marshall signs up for them. Woh, well,

383
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: that's the truth. If you look at the history and

384
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: then listen, you might say they could be veering that

385
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: direction as as but right, if you look at it

386
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: purely numerically, chances are that streak would end. But maybe

387
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: there's some part of Brandon Marshal that upsets locker rooms

388
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: and makes teams not live up to their expectations, makes

389
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick throw a bunch of interceptions in Week seventeen

390
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: in Buffalo don't bring that back. It's a bright new

391
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: future for my team. But I'm just saying that was Marshall.

392
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: That I've ever done was that Sunday Night show. That

393
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: was If you want to hear the old Zeuser at

394
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: his most like depressed and sad go surface week fifteen,

395
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: Week seventeen of two thousand fifteen, the Purple Heart Committee

396
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: has been painted on mere uh. Moving on the first

397
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: round pick of the Bears, Roquan Smith, a victim of

398
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: a robbery over this weekend. The Athens Clark County Police

399
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: Department at Georgia confirmed NFL dot com Smith had several

400
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: items stolen from his new BMW, including the team issued iPad,

401
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: which I feel like it has The playbook is the

402
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: last thing a rookie would ever want stolen from you.

403
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: I mean that's that makes you seem like a total

404
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: But you're on everyone's radar. You're totally on everyone's radar. Greg,

405
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: as a guy who's lost many, many things, including Apple

406
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: products over the years of Apple product, can you imagine

407
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: this scenario where you played an entire NFL career and

408
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: did not lose your playbook multiple times? Well, I did

409
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: you know, remember or learned last time I lost something,

410
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: which was a phone in a in a cap, tell

411
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: the NFL right away, because they're gonna zap it, take

412
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: all the info out. I kind of waited to see

413
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: if I knows all the products. Yeah, I kind of waited,

414
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, a while, to see if I was trying

415
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: to get it back because I was embarrassed. So I

416
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: waited a while. So I told the NFL, Now, you

417
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: gotta tell your team right away. I think broke on Smith.

418
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: He's got a good head on his shoulders. He did that.

419
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: West lost and iPad once, but had nothing to do

420
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: with the break in. It did not involve NFL security.

421
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: Involved football, but not this type of football. Involved Big

422
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: Bear Lake and then uh watching the World Cup with

423
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: you guys at the garage. We're one of our co

424
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: workers late in the day got into a fist fight

425
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: with a friend and we weren't even there with them.

426
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: It was just an enjoining group that tipped over everything

427
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: on our table and initially wedded uh Chris's iPad and

428
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: then you just lost it. Later you just lost the iPad.

429
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: So I cannot blame the losing of the iPad on

430
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: the fist fisticust that occurred around me. Did someone get

431
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: um stiff with a tab there too? Yes, that that

432
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: also happened. By the way, I love what's in this

433
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: guy's car that that did give return to him, which

434
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: was jerseys they the police that were worth over forty

435
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: dollars because of like the lineage of them being game

436
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: jerseys that were worn in like Bowl games. But on

437
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: top of it, four pairs of bows, headphones, a Bow's

438
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: blue tooth speaker. We know all that came from the draft.

439
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: But two watches a Michael Cores and Kai bo I

440
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: guess watched that which are probably not cheap, a pair

441
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: of expensive sunglasses, and like endless Nike shoes, Like how

442
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,480

Speaker 1: your cars we got we got a Nike swag bag too.

444
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: You've got to keep that stuff under wraps in your car,

445
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: put it in the trunk. By the way, most of

446
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: the stuff was recovered by the police, and uh, I

447
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: don't know about the iPad, but a lot of it was.

448
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: So all's well, that ends well. Fi iPad however, still unrecovered,

449
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: still still pinging it. Find my iPad response my phone

450
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: as well. Enjoy it. Cab driver from New Orleans. Finally,

451
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: Orlando Franklin, you may remember from Greg his extended run

452
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: with the Broncos and Broncos Yeah, didn't last too long.

453
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: Seven years in the NFL. He announced his retirement on Instagram.

454
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: He's had this to say over the last few days,

455
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: I've realized that facetiming my son is just not enough. Uh.

456
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: Now I throw it to you, Mark, and I ask

457
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: why uh? And maybe this will help Orlando. Why face

458
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: timing is enough for you? No, it's not. I read

459
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: this story and I think, I think this is ay.

460
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: I think we're going to see more players make decisions

461
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: like this. But I think that this was one of

462
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: the better stories of the week. Is Daddy? Ever, I

463
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: don't like the critique that I like. Somehow I'm fine without,

464
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, contacting my children. That is another another totally fabricated, utterly, utterly,

465
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: just another third narrative with no basis in reality at all,

466
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: that I hear about on Twitter five or six times

467
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: a day. It's just good that you have WiFi because

468
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: that helps a lot in terms of keeping appearances up right.

469
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: I don't know, I have no idea what. There is

470
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: a lot of projection going on in this room. Uh,

471
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: perhaps perhaps that's what's happening in the news. All right,

472
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: here we go. I said over the weekend that I

473
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: was in Vegas, But that was a lie. Old Zeuser

474
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: was locked up in his room and he was burning

475
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: that midnight oil because an elaborate lie. My editor, I'll

476
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: leave bump or. He said, I want content, I want

477
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: digital content, I want written content. And I said, yes, sir,

478
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: So I went down to my own lab and I

479
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: cranked out the top ten offseason storylines. You can check

480
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: it out at NFL dot com, Slash Hansas and um

481
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: I have ten here. And I think maybe a way

482
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: to kind of talk about this and go through it

483
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: is maybe if you, gentlemen, if you've had the chance

484
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: to peruse the article yourself, could pick one from the

485
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: list and tell me if it's one that you're juiced

486
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: about or one that you don't believe is something we

487
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: should track it all fun. Wes. I know you're a

488
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: man that is very selective in what you care about

489
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: this time of year. What's one that that stands out

490
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: to you that should people should be paying attention to.

491
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: The one that stands out to me is Andrew lux Health,

492
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: which has been, uh something we've been watching for two

493
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: years now. Um, most of this stuff, I feel like

494
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: we'll work itself out. Andrew lux health is really a

495
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: question mark to me. Why isn't he throwing? I know

496
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: he's being really strict about following the rules this time,

497
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: it's still weird that he's not throwing yet an actual

498
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 1: duke football the Duke. So I guess I don't expect

499
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: anything to change until training camp, and that's when we

500
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: we'll start to see what Andrew Andrew lux health looks

501
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: like and what the Colts prospects going forward looked like.

502
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe we'll get a little we'll get some clues

503
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: or some progress, you know, once otis and mandatory minicamp,

504
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: just of kind of what he's doing, because that's when

505
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: the reporters are going to be around. And they really

506
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: had Andrew Luck and this, you know, as a red

507
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: flag in hindsight, basically hidden from all reporters. I remember

508
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: going to training camp last year and you know, he

509
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: was in another building literally that you couldn't go walk into,

510
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: Like you could kind of see the buildings open, but

511
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: you didn't have the angle where you could see where

512
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck was doing whatever Andrew Lux doing it was

513
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: like a separate like the trendy animal to zoo. Right. Yeah,

514
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: I got him off campus and in this other local.

515
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: So my thought, if if you start seeing some tangible progress,

516
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: and I would think there should be some in May

517
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: and June, that would be at least a good earlier.

518
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: I just feel like this story has been going on

519
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: forever and it's just blue. It was like, oh, when

520
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: you're writing the articles a while back, it was like, oh,

521
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: coming off of you know, recent shoulder surgery, coming off

522
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: of shoulder surgery six months ago, eight months removed from

523
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: soldier certain soldier surgery from the last right now, it's

524
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: like we're getting years years away from the initial issue

525
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: here and like get on the field. This first popped up. Yeah,

526
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: and his last game was January one, two thousand and seventeen.

527
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: They're part of the Apple. That's why you don't tell

528
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner he can't play. I mean, he's they almost

529
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: equally have the last equal distance between their last place.

530
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of the doubt that, whether

531
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: it's the football cogniscent or just regular Joe cool that's

532
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: on Twitter. The reason why people have doubt is because

533
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: The Colts kind of botched it last year by making

534
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: it seem like it was something that was going to happen,

535
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: and they were very open in public, I thought, in

536
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: their comments and the positive comments, and the owner even

537
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: said before the season that you're gonna see Andrew luck

538
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: and it never happened. So now that he's been gone

539
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: all year, it's hard to take the organization at its word,

540
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: even though they continue to about positive comments about their quarterback.

541
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Let's be fair, all right, Mark, what do you got well?

542
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: I I like that you. I mean this is I

543
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: think this would have snuck its way into um this

544
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: type of article one way or the other, but in

545
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: this case it is legitimate and real. This time, the

546
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: lingering heat on Patriot Way, this isn't I don't think

547
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: just the same old let's cook up something that might

548
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: unsee at the Patriots. Psychologically, I want to see what

549
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: plays out with all this. The Gronk stuff is fine,

550
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: but I really feel like the over and over you're

551
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: getting these sound bites from Tom Brady, whether it's the

552
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: Jim Gray interview or you have Tom Brady now floating

553
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: around in a car looking like a magician. I saw

554
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: that stuff too, I mean there's just yeah, there's just

555
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: a yeah, and he was not the weirdest person at

556
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: the meta Michael Jackson but going no, that's no, that's absolutely,

557
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: that's dead on. It's just that it just feels like

558
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: there's a bit of a tone shift with a lot

559
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: of people inside the organization that I would have laughed

560
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: at even six months ago, that any issues exist at all.

561
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: Tell me I'm wrong. I don't think you're wrong. I

562
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: don't know if I think Tom Brady, if you listen

563
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: to that interview, I watched the whole thing. I think

564
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: he's starting to telegraph. Look when when he's back there,

565
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: just my expectation is it's all going to be buttoned up.

566
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: Gronk had a long personal meeting with Belichick. What happened

567
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: after that meeting was the Patriots started negotiating his contracts.

568
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: So I think, just based on their prior history, once

569
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: those guys are back in the building, whenever it is,

570
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: certainly it'll be by mandatory minicamp, they're just gonna be

571
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots and they're gonna be kind of boring again,

572
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: and we'll start to talk about their team, which is

573
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: significantly different. I think in some ways could be better

574
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: in terms of the depth on their defense, and it's

575
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: just different on offense. And we'll start talking about that

576
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: because they're they're just too good at shutting these stories out.

577
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: With Gronket, it looks to me more and more like

578
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: his grumbling has always been about money and wanting a

579
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: better contract. He's got a pretty bad deal compared to

580
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: other players of his level. Certainly players play his position,

581
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: but the Brady thing seems more personal. And since it's

582
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and it's Bill Belichick, we'll see if that

583
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: dies then I tend to think they will too. They'll

584
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: it'll get buttoned up by September and they'll drop another

585
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: thirteen and three or more. But we are in kind

586
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: of uncharted territory. I don't think Brady being ambivalent about

587
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: his future playing football on some level, or his relationship

588
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: with you know, his organization is made up story by

589
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: any means. It's a really important thing. It's also overdue.

590
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: He's forty years old and he has been as motivated,

591
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, and ready to go as any athlete we've seen.

592
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: Like it's time. It's I don't know, it's overdue. Greg,

593
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: You want to throw it out there, Yeah, the one

594
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: that stuck out to me that we actually will learn

595
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: about in may be the rest of the world is

596
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: doesn't think this is interesting, but Kaepernick and Eric Reid

597
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: possibly getting a job, because I think that's a story

598
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: that's bit bigger than football. Especially Eric Reid. It sort

599
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: of doesn't make sense that he wouldn't be on a

600
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: roster in the season. Now. There's other safeties out there

601
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: like Trey Boston and Kennycarlo people point out that don't

602
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: have jobs now. So I'm kind of just in wait

603
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: and see because I think this is a story that

604
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: can keep ballooning outward in terms of its importance, and

605
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: it's it's just surprising to me that someone in the

606
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: NFL on the ownership level doesn't just want to be

607
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: on the right side of this story, like because this

608
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: is a story like Colin Kaepernick, it is just gonna

609
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: be talked about. It's hard. It s hard for me

610
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: to imagine that the owners don't see that the Colin

611
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Kaepernick story is something that's going to be talked about

612
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: in ten years from now, like it's made that sort

613
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: of impact and that it's going to be a positive

614
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: for the league if he has ever back in the league,

615
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: and it's complicated how to figure this out with with

616
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: all the legal stuff going on. You're wording it's interesting

617
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: you said the right side of the story, which which

618
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: is part of what makes us very complicated, is that

619
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: there's a whole other portion, and especially in the ownership,

620
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: a very conservative group that don't see it as that

621
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: being on the right side of history. And I think

622
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: a lot of teams have been eliminated from UH even

623
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: being interested in either of these guys because of it.

624
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: And one thing I think is also interesting is that

625
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: read he worked out with Kaepernick on Tuesday. Bay Area

626
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: News Group spotted them. They didn't want to talk, but

627
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: they worked out together at a college UH cal State

628
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: East Bay. Read he's taking the I think he's making

629
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: the move here, like, I'm not gonna distance myself from

630
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: Kaepernick and try to get a job no matter of

631
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: the cost. I'm gonna continue to be right in the

632
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: middle of this and put myself side by side with

633
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: Kaepernick and see if teams are still willing to play me.

634
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: So I kind of admire that he's not shying away

635
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: from how he got in this situation in the first place. Yeah,

636
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: it's like it's what it's it's who he is, it's

637
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: what he believes and stands for. It's not a good look,

638
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: I think too, to stay up off of that just

639
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: to get a job. I mean, this is it's a

640
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's just owners either. I think there

641
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: are coaches that don't want to get involved in this either.

642
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's it's and and it's sponsorships, and it's

643
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: such a convoluted, tangled mess of money, interests and greed

644
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: that You're right, this is gonna be a story that

645
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: we look back on a decade from now, and it's

646
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: not a sports story. At this point. You see Jason

647
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: Garrett in all or nothing talking about it with his coaches.

648
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: A the coaches, some of the coaches are are really

649
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: angry about the whole anthem and protest issue. And then

650
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: be my bigger takeaway was like Jason Garrett just didn't

651
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: want to have to even bring it up with the coaches,

652
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: Like he hated even having to talk about it with

653
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: the coaches, which you know, that's you gotta be a leader.

654
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: And any did he he talked about, but you could

655
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: tell it was just something Oh my gosh, it's like

656
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: the last thing that these coaches who are so focused

657
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: on the field want to deal with. It's such a

658
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: hard job to be a head coach and keep fifty

659
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: three men focused on the same goal and you keep

660
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: your staff in line and of every all the distractions.

661
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: I think I could kind of see where Garrett was

662
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: coming from, which was like, I'm trying to get this

663
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: team figured out where we just got killed in Denver.

664
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: This is earlier in the season, and and now I

665
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: have this on my plate. And that's how I read

666
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: to me, not whether or not where he stood on

667
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: the issue, but just like I don't want to have

668
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: another thing on my plate, and that's certainly what it was. Uh,

669
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: we should talk. I don't know you guys watching all

670
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: or nothing? We could watch We could talk about on

671
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: another show. But I watched the first two episodes enjoyed

672
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: it quite a bit. I haven't plugged in yet. I

673
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: will catch up at some stage in time. Yes, you did.

674
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: By the way, one last thing on Eric read you.

675
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: I saw you in a Twitter back and forth that

676
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying, Oh, Eric Reach, you

677
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,959
Speaker 1: definitely have a job, but you did notice some things

678
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: last season. He didn't maybe have the best season in

679
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Well, Eric Reid is a guy who had

680
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: concussion issues early in his career, to the point where

681
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: people doubted whether he's gonna be playing again. He's a

682
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: hard hitter, and you wonder if his body's gonna hold up.

683
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: He's had knee injuries, he said, I believe shoulder injuries.

684
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: He got moved to linebacker for a little bit last

685
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: here because he wasn't starting at safety, and I think

686
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: showed something there at the at some point and finished

687
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: off his season. Well, I would just say this, and

688
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: this point gets lost in every discussion of this issue.

689
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: It is possible to agree with with Eric Reid and

690
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick politically, socially and still think there are football

691
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: reasons why they are not playing. Yeah, the read one

692
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: is is really interesting to me. And Dan pointed out

693
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: that he's kind of and I admire it to being

694
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: as aggressive as possible, or at least public as possible

695
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: in terms of aligning himself with Kaepernick. And that's what

696
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: he's doing in terms of this, uh, this lawsuit that's

697
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: been filed through the NFL p A, He's he's getting

698
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: out in front of it. He's not waiting until the season.

699
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: He's doing it right now. We ranked him as the

700
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: number twenty five overall unrestricted free agent when we did

701
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: our top one oh one. Number twenty four I believe

702
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: was Kenny Vacaro, so they were right next to each other.

703
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: Trey Boston was fifty three. Those were three of our

704
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: top safeties and none of them are looking for jobs.

705
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: And so if there are other things that you can

706
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: look at like that he doesn't have a job, I

707
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: don't know. It's like a it's a complicated issue, but

708
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: he he's kind of making the point, this is who

709
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: I am. Sign me knowing that's who I am. Uh

710
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: And one more from from the article, which one Marco

711
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: throw two on this one? Which one of the big

712
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: five rookie qbs we'll see extensive action, let's say majority starters,

713
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,479
Speaker 1: so they start eight games or more for their team.

714
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: Who which I think Sam Donald could start sixteen and

715
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: to be surprised if he's not the weak one starter

716
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: and if he if he keeps his act together and

717
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: he stays healthy, you you could go the entire way.

718
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen would be right there next along with him.

719
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: I I think Mayfield. I think the Browns like for

720
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: better or worse. I read what you wrote that you

721
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: don't buy that that the Tyrod Taylor thinks sticks. But

722
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: I think at this point like he would be one

723
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: of the Lamar Jackson would be the lowest. But Baker Mayfield,

724
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: to me, would be a guy that maybe he starts

725
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: a couple of games at the end of the year

726
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: if the ship sinks. I don't even mean that it's

727
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: like Mayfield, do you believe only starts at the end

728
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: of the year. I don't. I just think if if,

729
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 1: if they if they keep if Tyrod Taylor is fine

730
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: they don't, and and and there's not a bunch of

731
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: people calling for his neck, then he would keep the

732
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: I think he'd keep the job longer than any passed

733
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, any past quarterback in Cleveland would have been.

734
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very hard for the Browns,

735
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: even if they want a red shirt him, to keep

736
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: him on the bench. If unless the Browns do what

737
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: people think is maybe possible this year, which is put

738
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: together season it's somewhat competitive. I mean, if they're six

739
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: and seven or something like that, I think Tyrod is

740
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: gonna stay in the lineup. But if they even if

741
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: they're making improvements that their records still stinks in there,

742
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 1: you know, isn't the same that every one of these

743
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: guys are starting by like October. That's what I Here's

744
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 1: what happens all the time. One bad game and people

745
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: start to talk about it. Right, two bad games, people

746
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: start to call for it. Three bad games they make this,

747
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: which right, Tyrod Taylor could play fine, and I think

748
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: he's getting bench the second there under five hundred, so

749
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: you know, if that's one in three, you know, maybe

750
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: two games under five. If that's one and three, he's gone.

751
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 1: I mean, every one of these quarterbacks are gonna start

752
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: by week three or four. So I don't even know

753
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: why I just said that about it just seems like

754
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: that's what they want. I'm not saying that's what's gonna happen.

755
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: And maybe they will get off to a fast start

756
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: and then I could see it happening. But Mayfield is older.

757
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: I think he's you know, there's some argument that he

758
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: was a little more ready than maybe Sam Donald would

759
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: be that Donald if there was anyone that could use

760
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: a little more seasoning, you know, just to get up

761
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: to speed. At the end of him Old Rosen I

762
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: think depends almost totally on Bradford, unless Rosen is just insane,

763
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: lights out. I think if Bradford shows up and he's

764
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: healthy and he's Sam Bradford, he's going to get to

765
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: start for as long as they're winning at least, which

766
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 1: might not be very long, but he's gonna get It's

767
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: gonna be up to brad put in. Any one of

768
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks win the job in the preseason. I don't

769
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: think Jackson. I honestly even think with with Joe, it

770
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: seems impossible, but much crazier stuff has happened. I think

771
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: it could lead to him. If Lamar Jackson is lights

772
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: out in the preseason, I think Flack, of my opinion,

773
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: would still start the season, but it would become a

774
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: short leash situation. I agree with that um that there

775
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: were Ravens, their GM, their assistant GM, their head coach

776
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: have all gone out of their way to say that

777
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. They believe they can make the playoffs with

778
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. I mean to me, that's they have their

779
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: mindset on all those editions they made on offense are

780
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: going to revive his career. So if I set the

781
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: over under an eight and a half. Let's leave Jackson

782
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: out of this. On the other four quarterbacks starts this season,

783
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: would you take the over on all four? Yes, it's interesting. Yeah,

784
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen is a little bit of a

785
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean what do I mean what does he have

786
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: to who does he have to beat out? Though? I

787
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I think the cupboard is bare and like

788
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: your home, I mean, if we're gonna say, here's what

789
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: Tyrod's order to do, here's what Josh McCallen could do,

790
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: give me a break a j McCarron. I mean, he's

791
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: out of there by week three. If things aren't good,

792
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: they the thing they'd have to be worried about. But

793
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: there's a few things is the surrounding talent. Is anyone

794
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: set up for success there in terms of their receivers

795
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: and their offensive line and their schedule. Warren Sharp, who

796
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: does a really good job with strength of schedule, you know,

797
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: not using the typical, you know, kind of easy way

798
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: to do it. He had a podcast with Evan Silva,

799
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: which you know I recommend checking out, and he talked

800
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: about the bills frontloaded schedule. Yeah, just one time, as

801
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: it's not even like that regular. So he they've got

802
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: a frontloaded schedule where their schedule is much tougher in

803
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: the first six or seven weeks. And with all of

804
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: that and Josh Allen being raw in mind, I would

805
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: think they're gonna give him mccaren a chance to play

806
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: himself out of that job for a while because or

807
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: we see all three quarterbacks by Thanksgiving, like the same

808
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: way the Broncos flip blop through quarterbacks. Right, I wouldn't.

809
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: I said this a couple of times. I would not

810
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 1: be surprised if Nathan Peterman beats out a j McCarron,

811
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: or if Josh Allen beats out a Jim mccarreen before

812
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: the season even starts. I hope we do see them

813
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 1: all by Thanksgiving. Let's get these kids in there. Be fun,

814
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: be fun for the league. All right, there you go,

815
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: Watson back with these young quarterbacks. Get rid of these

816
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: thirty nine forty year old guys and whatnot the best

817
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks last year. Uh, we're gonna keep our forties something though.

818
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: You guys are studs. You'll be here in a minute,

819
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: so far away it will never happen to me. All right,

820
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm a year away. It's coming, it's coming. Never happen

821
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: to you. That suggests death. I think you'd want it

822
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: to happen to you, all right, I mean you make

823
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: a good point. Now it's time. Yeah, let's just teased

824
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: on Monday. If you're joining us late, which is weird,

825
00:41:52,640 --> 00:42:00,959
Speaker 1: it's podcast Greg. He makes Dondre look like an open book.

826
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know where this narratives coming on. He's a

827
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: guy that's not gonna let you inside to off. But

828
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: he promised on Monday that he would change everything as

829
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: you and uh, now we've reached the end of the show.

830
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: As promised, Greg is going to make it intensely personal

831
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: revelation is Greg. This reminds me of the just let's

832
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: just get a little more guitar first sign on you

833
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: turn it up a little into I would listen to

834
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: this song at Westleman. Yeah, this tease and this build

835
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: up reminds me of when you're on Route nine going east.

836
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: I believe, at least to New Orleans. There's there's that

837
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: sign like watch out, the thing is coming up, like scary,

838
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: like the scariest thing ever. All right, two fifty miles

839
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: your mind will be blown by the thing, and then

840
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: you get off. You know, you check it out and

841
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: it's just some like old fake mummy. It's a solid filibuster.

842
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: But now we want to hear, hear what's happening with you?

843
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: All right? So here it is as promised. Forty eight hours.

844
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 1: Everyone's been on the edge of the seat. Greg opening

845
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: up his books. Well, you you brought that, You brought

846
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: this up out of nowhere. And I immediately thought on Monday,

847
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: I actually have do do have something to say to

848
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: this because as the guys in this room now, I'm

849
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: going to Tybee Island next week with Chris Wesseling, uh

850
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: little Westlemania on the road. The paramour will be there.

851
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: It'll be a lot of fun. But as but as

852
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: part of the conditions of me going, my wife Emmaica said,

853
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: one of the conditions is I have to say publicly

854
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: that I wear the pants in our relationship. And so

855
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: when you when you mentioned it the other day, well,

856
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: I thought, this is my chance, this is my chance,

857
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 1: and I am saying public Why does she want that

858
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: to be said? Right? You could argue just the fact

859
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: that she put that in as a clause. You know,

860
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: it's a point to the opposite, you know, feel the opposite.

861
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to go there. It feels like

862
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: she believes there's an existing narrative that she wears the pants,

863
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: and she wants to do exactly. I think she she

864
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: believes that that's that's out there and that and she

865
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: just want and more importantly, she wanted to know and

866
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: this is true. She wanted me to believe in my

867
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: heart and no, no, I actually do wear the pants.

868
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: Do you do you believe that it's causing your heart?

869
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: Do you believe because you're you're sort of shaking your head, uh,

870
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, back and forth. I do. I do believe

871
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: you believe that you wear the pants. This is a

872
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: I think it fascinating peak behind the curtain. It's I

873
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: think we have a great relationship and I think it's

874
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: it's there's a lot of sharing. I think it's not

875
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: about the pants. But when it comes down to it,

876
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: I see what she's saying. The pants are not sad.

877
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna agree. I thought you were going to say

878
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: that the stipulation was that you're gonna have to take

879
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: one of your kids offense. That would compromise that Greg

880
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: and his wife often have for Gregg coming to social

881
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: events not helping. The main argument here but is this

882
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: Does she get this from the podcast? Is she like

883
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: a long time listen to the podcast? So, I don't know.

884
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 1: I think probably maybe from me talking about the podcast

885
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: and stuff. It was floating into either yeah, just pick up. No,

886
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: it's been It's not just that it's been something. I

887
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: think that's been a discussion. We've been together thirteen years now,

888
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm married for eleven, and so I think it's been

889
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: a conversation between the two of us that neither one

890
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: of us really, you know, believes the other one. Al Right,

891
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 1: So insummation that had some real tangibility too. Yeah, Greg

892
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: uh is going to Tybee, but more importantly has announced

893
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: to the world that he wears the pants in his relationship,

894
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: a comment that was now think about this as well.

895
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: Eggs announcement that he wears the pants in his relationship

896
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: was a demand made. That's what I just said. Think

897
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: about that. I think Greg knows when he I think

898
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: he understands the dynamic here. I'll see it that way.

899
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: See Ben, what do you have to say about it

900
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: feels like a bit of a paradox. Uh, one last

901
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 1: bit of Tybe news. Yes, sir, Greg not the only

902
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: one going. Who else we got a big fish six

903
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: Oh can you get this thing in the boat. It's

904
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: hard to get in the boat. Whoa, whoa, Evan Silva

905
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: the big fish. Tiffany Blackman Wow on to Tybee Island,

906
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: Colleen Wolf still on the fence where we're waiting to

907
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: find out. I just drive right up. Yeah, Tiffany can

908
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: drive from from further north end. To make things clear

909
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: to you. We have feelers out to Julio Jones waiting

910
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: to hear back. I surfaced this possibility with my wife,

911
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: and maybe this means she wears the pants. He said, well,

912
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: you just went to Vegas. You're not going anywhere, sir.

913
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,080
