31
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: let's fire out some questions. Longtime listener, first time DM

32
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: or this is from the camera guy doesn't even have

33
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: a real name. Been a long time Pats fan, and

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: it's been a while since I had the quote unquote

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: best team in the league Struts. That's true. The addition

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: of the great running back and the development of Drake

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: in a rebuilt offensive line, you think the Pats are

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: genuinely turning this bad boy around. And to me, it

39
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: starts with a coach. Like we've seen a lot of

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: talented young quarterbacks become disasters in awful situations. So is

41
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Drake may gonna be good, I got no clue. Uh. Obviously,

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of young quarterbacks with quote unquote

43
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: promise not turned into anything. And we've seen guys that

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: no one believed in become really good players. So you

45
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: never know. But if you tell me to get Mike Rabel,

46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: who's proven that like he can turn the Tennessee Titans

47
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: into a playoff team. Hell, he had him the number

48
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: one overall seed. If you tell me you get Josh McDaniels,

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: awful head coach, fantastic offensive coordinator, and you talk about

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: drafting the running back, who's probably the fastest, most explosive

51
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: player they've had in a long long time, who's great

52
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: at using running backs. Josh McDaniels, him and Tom Brady

53
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: that they utilize the running back out of the backfield,

54
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: throwing him the ball, getting him the ball in space

55
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: a ton. Wide receivers are a question mark, And listen,

56
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit like probably like Denver

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: last year. I don't expect them to be a real contender.

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: But if you tell me they win nine ten games,

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: like I'm betting on that, I expect them to win

60
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: nine games. I think ten is probably their ceiling. But

61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: the nine to ten range. I don't know if they

62
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: have quite enough offensive firepower. But the Jets are holding

63
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: player only practices, but the head coach is there. The

64
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: Dolphins are in shambles, so I think division the AFC

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: East beside the Bills, who should beat the Pats. I

66
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: like the Pads a lot this year. It feels like

67
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: for the first time, my excitement level for this upcoming

68
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: season is as an all time low. I don't know

69
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: if it's the game changing, too much media saturation outside

70
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: of the lines, or that the Jets haven't been to

71
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs since I was thirteen years old. I'm sure

72
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: once Week one rolls around, I'll be watching. But do

73
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: you have any relations into the lessened excitement level toward

74
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. No, cannot relate to that one. My excitement

75
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 1: for football in general is really really high. I love

76
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: watching football, always have and probably always will. Obviously, I

77
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: talk about it for a living, so I'm glad that

78
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people the excitement levels high. I do

79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: think if we did a study, there is a direct

80
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: impact on you relative to your team. And your team

81
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: hasn't just let you down. They've been a joke. So

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: you guys are holding player only practices. You don't how

83
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: would there be any excitement to watch justin Field skip

84
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: balls into the ground. So I think it's more of

85
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: the Jet situation than the actual league. And the thing

86
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: with oversaturation, because I agree you could argue we're oversaturated

87
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: with everything. Just don't pay attention for a while, put

88
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: down your phone, don't click on the website or whatever

89
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: the video that pops up. That's whenever I feel like

90
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: i'm a little I've had a little much. I just

91
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to something for a couple of days

92
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: and it usually helps. Is from Robert. Been a Bengals

93
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: fan for ten years and considering the expectations, last season

94
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: has been the most disappointing so far, with the Bengals

95
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: missing the playoffs, I mostly blame the front office. I

96
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: also noticed that the Bengals front office includes several of

97
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: the owner Mike Brown's relatives. In my opinion, hiring so

98
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: many family members is a bad idea. As you've said

99
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: it before, the open market the cream rises to the top.

100
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: Is this kind of family hiring common across NFL teams

101
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: or is it more of a Brown family thing. What

102
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: was it like with the Lurie family during your time

103
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. I love to hear your thoughts. Well, I

104
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: forget his name, but his son has taken on a

105
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: much more prominent role. I mean Jeffrey Lury. I think

106
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: it's like seventy years old. So like, whenever he passes away,

107
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: his son is going to a Julian. When I was there,

108
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: his son was really young, so his kids were not

109
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: of age to be doing anything. So I think, you know,

110
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: Julian is just the future own owner of the team.

111
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: Like that's where it gets weird when you have like

112
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: he's the future owner of the team, but you have

113
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: some of these situations where like six family members are

114
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: running everything. I mean, this is the way the Jones

115
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: family operates, and I yeah, can be complicated. I would imagine.

116
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, in an ideal world, my kids, if I

117
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: owned an NFL team and had some children, I'd be like,

118
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: we're owning the team. It's hard because you're trying to

119
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: teach them life lessons and do right by them. But

120
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: we're billionaires. Like, I want to win games, and my

121
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: best chance to win games is for me to find

122
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: the next Howie Rosman and the next Sean McVay. How

123
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: do we find the next Andy Reid and the next

124
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: Bill Pollion that are thirty eight and forty two years

125
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: old and they do everything, and you know what we do.

126
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: We go to our games on our private jet, We

127
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: take our dividends, and we fucking love life. But this

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: notion of like I'm sending my kid out to scout,

129
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 1: I just now, if the kid loves it, which maybe

130
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: he does, I have no problem with. But if he's

131
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: going to own the team whenever I die, Like, what's

132
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: the point of putting him in these roles? Now? You

133
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: could argue that's how he learns everything, and there's some

134
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: truth to that, But I don't know. It's a complicated

135
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: situation because I think it's easy to hate on it

136
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: when you don't own the team or you don't own

137
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: the company, like you want to be around your children.

138
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: So I completely understand. I just think the NFL is

139
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: kind of unique that way of like it feels not

140
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: the most optimal way to maximize your potential to win.

141
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: Con recently did a podcast with a dude from Meet

142
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: the Press. During the Great Discussion, both went on a

143
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: tangent about the book they both loved, written by Johnny

144
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: Carson's lawyer. After Carson died and the attorney client privilege ended,

145
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: they carried on enough for me to buy the book

146
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: and it's great. Colin mentioned he had a top ten

147
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: list of books he has read. Could you pry that

148
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: list from Colin? On one year Sunday Pause? Also, would

149
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: you ever consider being a guest on a non sports podcast?

150
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: Your non sports tangents are nice? Yeah, I mean I'd

151
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: be a guest on. I mean if a podcast that

152
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: was important enough asked me and they weren't, I would

153
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: do it, for sure. I did. After I saw your question,

154
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: I made a little list of things that people asked

155
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: me to ask Colin that aren't necessarily related to like

156
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: what do you think of Drake? May you know what's

157
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: Caleb's completion percentage going to be? But just life things?

158
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: And your question was near the top because I did

159
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: not hear that. And I'm gonna download that audio book

160
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: as well. Well you might be reading the actual hard copy.

161
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm more of an audiobook guy. Good question question for

162
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: the mailbag. With Rashawn Slater out for the season, how

163
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: do you think this will affect the Chargers offense? Does

164
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: it mean Justin Herbert will be forced to throw more.

165
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: Will Jim Harbass stick with the tried and tested run game.

166
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: I just think it's not I mean, it's a disastrous situation.

167
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: There's no way around it. Because a huge point of

168
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: difference for Harbaugh in general typically is his offensive line

169
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: and this offensive line, I mean, the best tackle combination

170
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: in the league. And to lose this guy and I

171
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: haven't seen the latest, like are they gonna leave joelt

172
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: at right tackle or are they gonna move to the left.

173
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: Harbaugh's usually pretty mum about that. I don't know if

174
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: there's a right or wrong answer. I've had some people

175
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: ask me like, what would you do well, It's like,

176
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: do you think Slater's eventually going to come back? Because

177
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: if you do, then you just try to piece mail

178
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: the left tackle, because if you move him to left

179
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: tackle and then it's a problem, then the right tackle,

180
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: it's like one of your tackles is going to be

181
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: an issue. And the reality is in the NFL, most

182
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: teams line up their pass rushers all over the place.

183
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: If your right tackle sucks, Max Crosby will line up over.

184
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: If your left tackles a scrub, they'll they'll put Khalil

185
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: Mack over him or Miles Garrett over Like, they'll just

186
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: move their personnel based on where your weakness is. And

187
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: a lot of teams now have multiple good pass rushers,

188
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: So I don't this thing like the right answer just

189
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: take him to left tackle. I remember saying it to

190
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: Howard Mudd. I'm like, this guy's a right tackle. He's like,

191
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: what do you mean? What does that even mean? Like, well,

192
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: he's not as good of an athlete, and he's like

193
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: when I was with the Colts with Peyton Manning, we

194
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: had Robert Mathis on one side and Dwight Freeney on

195
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: the other side. So if you're like, well, this guy's

196
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: feet sucks, he's gonna get smoked. So if Joe, if

197
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: you feel Slater's coming back now, if you feel he's

198
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: this knee injury's going to derail his career, you might

199
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: as well just pivot him over to his blind side.

200
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: But man's that sucks question for you. It's no secret

201
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: the Rams are in the quarterback market next year. At

202
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: the same time, the Bengals are a mess, and there

203
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: is growing buzz that Burrow could look to force a

204
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: move next summer. This season doesn't go well, do you

205
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: see it in the cards that the Rams McVeigh make

206
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: another blockbuster. Well, let's just say the Bengals go eight

207
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: to nine and Burrow throws forty touchdowns in the defense

208
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: sucks and it's like, clearly not his fault again, organization

209
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: and shambles. Of course, the Rent and Stafford retires. There's

210
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: no team they would be more willing to break the bank.

211
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: Literally they did extend his contract, even those contracts already huge,

212
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: and give up unlimited picks to acquire Joe Burrow than

213
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: the Rams. Mike Brown is never going to do this.

214
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: I feel very, very strongly on this. Joe Burrow would

215
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: have to pull a Carson and literally retire and just

216
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: be like I quit before Mike Brown trades him next offseason.

217
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely no chance. I see they could win two games.

218
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: He is never trading Joe Burrow next year. Now eventually

219
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: years down the road, maybe, but I think he'd go,

220
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: I already paid you, I paid your two wide receivers.

221
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: I'll bring in a new coach. But I see under

222
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: no circumstances. Because yes, McVeigh and less need and the

223
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: Rams would want Joe Burrow one million percent, so would

224
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: a lot of other teams. Mike Brown's not trading him,

225
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: no chance, not in twenty twenty six, maybe twenty twenty nine,

226
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: but not next year. He's already shown like he doesn't

227
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: That's not how he operates. Could you see Sean McVeagh

228
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: trading for Anthony Richardson with Stafford being hurt. I think

229
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: someone is gonna trade for Anthony Richardson. I saw today.

230
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: I got off the set probably forty five minutes ago,

231
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: and Anthony Richardson's not going to play in the last

232
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: preseason game. It's like they've already admitted he needs a

233
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: bunch of work, he's still developing. Well, that would be

234
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: the place to play him. Well, why do people pull

235
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: guys in baseball games around the trade deadline? Why does like, ah,

236
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: they're not putting him in the game. He's not dressing

237
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: out for this game. In basketball at the trade deadline,

238
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: you can't risk injury, can't put him in the game.

239
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: So he's not playing. You can't convince me that they

240
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: aren't fielding calls. Now. I don't think those numbers are high.

241
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it's like, well, we've decided between a

242
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: third and two fourths. It's probably like a fifth to

243
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: six to seventh round or it's late round picks. My

244
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: guess is Anthony Richardson's traded in the next week. If

245
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: you had to give me a pie chart percentage chance,

246
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: I'd say seventy five eighty percent chances traded, twenty percent

247
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: chances on the team, especially the way that their head

248
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: coach said, Daniel Jones is our starter for the season.

249
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: Like Daniel Jones clearly is not gonna be on the

250
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: team next year. So if you can get like it's

251
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: already kind of like it's water, unto the British, you

252
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: spilled the milk, like it's there's no there's no going back,

253
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: like you use a fourth round the first round pick

254
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: that was fourth overall and it's over, like you missed,

255
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: so you just move on. You literally already did with

256
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. So I would expect I think a lot

257
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: of teams would be interested, like work with them in practice,

258
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: Like the Colts don't even want to change Syking and

259
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: Chris Baller to worry about keeping their job. Andy Reid's like, yeah,

260
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: it would be a little project for me on the side, right,

261
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: Sean McVay or whoever. I think a lot of coaches

262
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of teams, And I just use those

263
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: two example you could use you could use anybody, Sean Payton,

264
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, you could say Josh McDaniel. Maybe they got

265
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: a young quarterback probably bout it example the Bucks. I mean,

266
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: you just see teams like, yeah, we'll just work with

267
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: him on the side. He's out a starter, he's a backup.

268
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: So it's like he's not playing anyway, someone's trading for him.

269
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: My guess why do guys like Kevin O'Connell and Mike

270
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: McDaniel get labeled geniuses by the media but they never

271
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: seem to show some love to Lafloor. Leafleur is more

272
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: playoff wins than they have combined. He turned Jordan Love

273
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: into a top ten quarterback and he only missed the

274
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: playoffs once in his career. Well, I think I would

275
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: separate Kevin O'Connell and Mike McDaniel. I think the Mike,

276
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: the bloom on the Rose, the uh, the shine on

277
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: the star that was mister Gucci and a one hundred

278
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: thousand dollars watch and where in Capris Mike McDaniel is

279
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: done is dimmed. I mean, he's a laughingstock in the NFL.

280
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: Right now with coaches, with front office people, with his

281
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: own team like Mike McDaniel is, I would imagine there's

282
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: a fifty to fifty chance he doesn't make it to Halloween.

283
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: It could be really, really ugly. I can nitpick Kevin O'Connell.

284
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: They can get it's a little pass happy. He's a

285
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: really good coach. And if you had a coaching draft

286
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL, especially if you factored in age, he

287
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: would go really, really high. So I would not compare

288
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: those two. I think sometimes the Packers coach. You know,

289
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: it's weird. They're a huge brand. They win all the time,

290
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: but they also fly under the radar a little bit

291
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: nationally sometimes, especially like if Farvar Rodgers isn't doing anything

292
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: crazy smaller market. We spend so much time talking about

293
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: the fucking Cowboys. I don't know Four's good. You know

294
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: where I stay on the Packers. I'm gonna bet money

295
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: on him to win the division. The rivalries, the marching bands,

296
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: the upset. Saturday's just got way more fun. College football

Speaker 1: is back, baby, Think you know the game. Put your

304
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: in Ireland. Iowa State. Take it on, K State. I've

305
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: been listening to a lot of people. My guy Josh Paate,

306

329
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: But yes, my plan is to have them on. He's

330
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: got a baby on the way as well a couple

331
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: football babies. Uh, we'll get to Zach. Me and my

332
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: buddy's got a new debate. Let's say I have an

333
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: NFL kicker in this example, Chris Boswell kicking off to me,

334
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: and I have ten attempts to return it one verse

335
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: one me versus Boswell. How many times would I score

336
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: or touchdown? I'm a decent athlete six foot one hundred

337
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: and eighty pounds and do a lot of running. Recently

338
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 1: ran a three hour marathon. I've never ran a marathon,

339
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: But that sounds like pretty good. Would I have any

340
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: chance of scoring? Are kickers more athletic than I'm giving

341
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: them credit for? I think it depends. I think there

342
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: would be some kickers that they played at like Texas

343
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: or I don't know where Chris Boswell went to school,

344
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: but could have been football players, like actual players at

345
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: a lower level. But they were really good athletes, and

346
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: some of them Chris Boswell, he went to Rice, so

347
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: that might not be the greatest example, but guys that

348
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: could have played like where I went to college cal Pawly,

349
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, UC Davis, McNee State schools like that, and

350
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: played a position, but they were great kickers and they

351
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: went to a big university because they got a full scholarship.

352
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: There would definitely be kickers if you're a good athlete,

353
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: even a good high school athlete, and you stay in

354
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: shape that you could score a touchdown with or on

355
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: Now are they doing it? Like how does this work?

356
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: Are they kicking it off? Like the kickoff? So they

357
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: kind of kick it like you catch it at the

358
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: ten yard line and they're fifty yards behind you. I mean,

359
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: there is a thing with angles. I mean, there's no

360
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: guarantee it's not like they practice their open field tackling,

361
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: and even when they do make open field tackles, they

362
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: have a bunch of guys in front of them, So

363
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: just one on one could be a little different. If

364
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: you're a decent athlete, yes, I think you could score

365
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown on some kickers. On some kickers would blast you,

366
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: though I think a couple kickers would shock you, and

367
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: some kickers would be marginal athletes. I'm curious if you

368
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: started to do anything to prepare for the baby. Have

369
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: you read any books or Colin drop any wisdom on you?

370
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: Great job on the hurt. You know me and after

371
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: a couple of cocktails in Chicago, talked, talked to life,

372
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: talked relationships and the wiring of the opposite sex. But

373
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: from a child perspective. You know, most of my friends

374
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: have children aging anywhere between two to ten, so I

375
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of I would say, saved mental notes

376
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: over the years. I had a good buddy. It's actually

377
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: one of Maria's best friend's husband who I become friends with,

378
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: who's an awesome dude, high level to cat. He's like

379
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: kind of He told me to read or download the

380
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: Marcus Aurelius Meditations. It gives some life lessons on how

381
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: to look at raising your young child. But yeah, I mean,

382
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: I prayed. Man, There's not much I haven't done. Maria

383
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: is so dialed in on different things, forwarding me every day.

384
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: She's like my own own personal assistant of just funneling

385
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: me information. I also think I'm a big believer on this.

386
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: There's certain things in life, like you can read all

387
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: you want, there's no hand Like I can't give you

388
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: a handbook to your dating life or to what to

389
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: do professionally. I can kind of guide you in the

390
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: right way, but eventually, like you're in the trenches, you

391
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: gotta figure it out. And uh, that's what I'll do.

392
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: I'll figure it out and then from there I'll pivot.

393
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: But I'd be lying if I've said I've like done

394
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: much research. I'm listening to my local sports stock on

395
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: my way to work, and I hear the radio hosts

396
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: say that stephen A had a take on Alabama's slow

397
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: start in nine and four and that Kaylin Dubor should

398
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: hand the reins to coach Prime. I'm sure you heard

399
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: this too. Being my favorite podcaster and a longtime listener,

400
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: I'd love to get your thoughts. Kaylin Duboer was in

401
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: the National Championship Game two years ago. Let me repeat,

402
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: Kaylin Dubor was in the National Championship Game two years ago.

403
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: He beat Steve Sarkisi, and do you know he's never

404
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: lost to Steve Sarkis. Do you know he's never lost

405
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: to Dan Lanning, never lost to him. He played Brian

406
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: Kelly last year, beat his ass so Caylin Duboer, who

407
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: inherited a roster that lost a bunch of players with

408
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: the transfer portal when Saban retired. My guy Josh Pate

409
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: thinks Alabama's gonna win the SEC. Now. I don't know

410
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: if they're gonna win the SEC. But the more I

411
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: think about it, I remember a guy texting me, like,

412
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, you went all in on

413
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: Dubor when he was playing sark in the Final four,

414
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: And it's the biggest bet I've ever made. Still to

415
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: this day, I've never been more sure of something from

416
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: a gambling standpoint that I was willing to go all

417
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: in on it. And honestly, I should have even been

418
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: more aggressive. Now I had just sweated it a little

419
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: at the end. But it was a winter winter chicken dinner.

420
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: And then last year, obviously he lost to Vanderbilt, which

421
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: essentially cost him the playoffs. But Kalyn d. Boor's big time.

422
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. Ryan Grubb, his right hand man,

423
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: got fired in Seattle with the Seahawks. He never coached

424
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL and now is back with the Boor.

425
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: So most people think they have the best wide receiver

426
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: room in the conference, they have the best dB room

427
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: in the conference. They always have good offensive and defensive lines.

428
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: So I mean, can Dehon Sanders win like eight nine

429
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: games at Colorado in the Big twelve first? And I'm

430
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: not anti Dion, but to compare to de Bor's been

431
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: one of the best coaches in the country for like

432
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: four or five years. They literally say being retired, hired.

433
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: That's who they are hired to replace him. He's been

434
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: there one year, He'll be fine. What do you think

435
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: about the Raiders taking a chance on Anthony Richardson Gino

436
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a long term option, but there is

437
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: something to be said about I don't even need to

438
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: read the rest of the This is a great example.

439
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: Anthey Richardson, get him with Chip obviously, Gino's your starter.

440
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: Can I get him for a fifth round pick? Can

441
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: you guys work together on the side, become the backup

442
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: or help be the third string quarterback. He's gonna get traded.

443
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: I think he's a lock to get traded. I really

444
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: do now. The one reason, like the reason I don't

445
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: do one hundred percent, he's gonna get traded. I wonder

446
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: if there's a piece of ballard that goes What if

447
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: we do send them somewhere else in the middle of

448
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: the season, Like the Raiders are a good example. Gino

449
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: gets hurt chips like I'll work with Anthony Richardson and

450
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Anthony Richardson's sweet for the

451
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: Raiders and Daniel Jones is a disaster for the Colts.

452
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: Everyone gets fired immediately. Now I do agree. And Collin's

453
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: take was this, like when offensive coaches, especially established ones,

454
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: punt on guys, you should be out on them too.

455
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan said, I'm out on Trey Lance. Everyone else

456
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: is too, people like Jim Horrbaugh. I saw my guy,

457
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: Lewis Ridick was like Trey Lance just needed a spot.

458
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: Like Jim Harbaugh, you mean to be his third string quarterback.

459
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: I can't win a backup job. So it's like some

460
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks when these coaches pivot on him, it's like, look,

461
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: who gave up on Sam Darnold, Right, Like Robert Salah,

462
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: who gave up on Baker Mayfield? Right? The Browns? You

463
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: know the Caroline matt rule. So it's like, who's giving

464
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: up on it is Kevin O'Connell, say you suck, because

465
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: if he does, then that's concerning. Does look at the floor.

466
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: It's like, I'll play with Malik Willis. What happened? Malik

467
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: Willis is winning regular season games. Kyle Shannan has like

468
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: I like the Sam Donald guy. Kevin O'Connell's like, I

469
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: like the Sam Donald guy. Now look at him now.

470
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: You recently touched on a subject that I've been thinking

471
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: about for a number of years as a Seahawks fan.

472
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: I love the rivalry we have with the Niners. I'm

473
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: so concerned about the fact that the Niners are hurt

474
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: more than most teams every year. Competing in an NFC

475
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: without a great Niners team just doesn't feel right. Do

476
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: you think there is something with the strength of conditioning

477
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: staff or coaching staff? Stanford which I would imagine. Their

478
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: medical team is considered one of the best in the world,

479
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: which is ten minutes away from where the forty nine

480
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: ers offices are. Their doctors work at Stanford. They have

481
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: fired their strength and conditioning staff, their training staff over

482
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: the years because of these issues. There gets to a

483
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: point where it's like, how about this, guys. If a

484
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: guy has an injury history, we're not messing with them.

485
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: I don't think the forty nine ers practice any differently

486
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: than the good teams, Like they do have physical practices,

487
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's much different. Like why isn't

488
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: George Kittle and Fred Warner getting hurt in practice? It's

489
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: because you keep signing and drafting some of these guys

490
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: with injury histories. Like, I think there's something to the

491
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: way that they the guys that they acquire. I also

492
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: just think there's gotta be some randomness to it. Now,

493
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: you could argue that this is a long enough streak

494
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: where something's a little weird. Something does that up here,

495
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: And I would say I kind of agree. Something doesn't

496
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: make sense. I can't put my finger exactly on it,

497
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: but something is off for sure. Enjoy listening to your

498
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: podcast My question is to talk about guys like Anthony

499
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: Richardson and Trey Lance both having a lot of college

500
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: starts and both not having a lot of college starts,

501
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: and how that has affected their careers. Do you think

502
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: we have to worry about that with Art Manning? I

503
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: understand he's a different type prospect, and my thoughts are

504
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: he will be fine with the potential of him declaring

505
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: for the drafted for one season, But does it concern

506
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: you at all? One thousand percent? Because the more you play,

507
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: I think, here's the reality. If Anthony Richardson had been

508
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: a multi year starter, maybe he doesn't go in the

509
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: top five. Maybe it turns out he's not that good?

510
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: What happened. The more and more will levis played, people

511
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: are like, what's this? What if Trey Lance had been

512
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: a multi year starter? Might not go in the top five,

513
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: might not go in the first round because the larger

514
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: the sample size. How many times have you seen a

515
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: guy come up from Triple A and have a two

516
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: week stretch where he hits ten home runs and then

517
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: he never hits another home run, No one ever hears

518
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: about him again. Because the more and more you play,

519
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: you either get exposed or you excel. So anytime you're

520
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 1: a one year starter, there's not much data. We are

521
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: taking a strong educated guess and miss Trubisky Anthony Richardson,

522
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. Now you have one breakout year Joe Burrow,

523
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: and obviously that's who you become. But there's also no

524
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: rhyme or reason to any of this. I would tend

525
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: to lean on guys who were multi year starters who

526
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 1: played at a high level, but like Joe Burrow had

527
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: one incredible Cam Newton had one incredible year, and it's

528
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: like that's that was their ceiling, that was their high end.

529
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: They truly had that. So I think it's difficult. I

530
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: think Anthony Richardson and Trey Lance had the worst combination.

531
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: They truly were projects and they hadn't played much. So

532
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: if you were looking at it from like if we

533
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: were at Goldman Sachs or you know, Bank of America

534
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: or whatever in the finance department, we were running the

535
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: numbers that there were a lot of question marks. There

536
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: were a lot of like yeah, not quite seeing this

537
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: thing add up right, or some like you acquire you

538
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: pick a bit of Amazon, there's a lot of positives, checks,

539
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: a lot of boxes. You know these insurance companies why

540
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: they make so much money. They don't pay us and

541
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: we pay them. It's like, that's a great business to

542
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: invest in. Warren Buffett's like, hey, Berkshire, fuck quadruple down

543
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: on the insurance companies. When quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield several

544
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: year starter a bunch of production, won a bunch of

545
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: big games, like you felt pretty good about that, right,

546
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: But when you get one year starter productions hit or miss,

547
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: you gotta be very careful about you know, you're trying,

548
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: you're trying to get it right. But the easiest way

549
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: to get it right is to find the ways that

550
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: where you're not going to get it wrong. And where

551
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: you get it wrong is when there are a lot

552
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: of holes in the argument for a player, and there

553
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: were a lot of holes clearly in the arguments for

554
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: those players. It's like that's it. We bang that out.

555
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: I did a rapid fire there. You know, I was

556
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: thinking about this my one food Gazi. I can't out

557
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: the hotel because it's I think Fox must have a

558
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: deal with them, must get a good rate. So I

559
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: mean it's a nice, nice hotel. It's a little old,

560
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: but I mean it's a nice hotel. I've never been

561
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: a hotel snob necessarily, but as i get older and

562
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: as I've become a professional, which I've been really for

563
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: the last fifteen plus years of my life, a lot

564
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: of times when I'm in a hotel, it's not for vacation.

565
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: I bet I don't know. Ninety percent of my hotel

566
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: usage is work related, honestly, could be higher. Over the

567
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: last like ten years, it's like ninety five percent of

568
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: my hotel usage is work related. And if you're a

569
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: decent hotel, like, you need a desk now with the

570
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: Internet and the way people operate, like your quote unquote

571
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: Wi Fi room or Internet room or whatever room you

572
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: have downstairs that has some desks, Like I want a

573
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: desk inside the hotel. And listen, the overwhelming ninety nine

574
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: percent of hotels I stay at, this one I'm saying

575
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: at does not have one. And it just makes you

576
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: know you're trying to get situated, Like I'm right now,

577
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm in a green room. So it's like not complaining.

578
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm sitting on a couch. I've recorded my podcast from

579
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: the couch last couple of days. But it's like I'm

580
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: using I'm propping up my computer. It's like, how do

581
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: you not have a desk in your hotel room in

582
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five? Moving forward the way most of your

583
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: guests are staying obviously some of these hotels, but even

584
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: like next week, for example, or going to Hawaii. Do

585
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm doing. I'm going to work from there.

586
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: It's a vacation, but we also got bills to pay,

587
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: and I do a podcast where they kind of need me.

588
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: You know. It's not one of those like I'm gone

589
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: for three weeks. You guys handle it like this business

590
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: is kind of predicated on me talking into this microphone

591
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: and guess what we're saying. In a nice Marriott property

592
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, I can almost guarantee you. I mean, I've

593
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: seen picture there will be a desk in the hotel room.

594
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: But I just can't fathom, like because there was more

595
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: than enough space. There was like this nice kind of

596
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: wrap around couch. Like I'm not I don't want to

597
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 1: sit on the couch when I'm in the hotel sleep

598
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: or sit on my desk, you know. I just I

599
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: would love to talk to the people at that hotel

600
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: and ask about the logic that goes behind the setup

601
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: of that hotel room because I need to work, and

602
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: while I'm still able to because I'm a podcaster, and

603
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: there's a will, there's a way, and we're gonna find

604
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: that way, and we did. It just becomes a little

605
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: troublesome to try to get comfortable. I need to be

606
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: relaxed when I'm talking, And did not have a desk

607
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: chair in the room, did not have a desk. I mean,

608
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: it's just it's just porderline travesty. How's this happening? In

609
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, the volume
