And yeah, other 17 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: than that, no plans beside uh mail bag today. So 18 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: let's let's dive in. But first, you know, I gotta 19 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: tell you about my friends, my partners, and the official 20 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: ticketing app of this podcast, Game Time. Here's the drill, 21 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: usually the afternoon NBA playoff game, the Eastern game. I 22 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: don't watch right away. I'm out doing stuff. Maybe I 23 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: was taking the dog for a walk, running Errand's on Wednesday. 24 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: Checking my phone the Knicks. It's the second half and 25 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: they're down. I'm like, oh, they're gonna lose by twenty. 26 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: And then I check again, like in the beginning of 27 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: the fourth or maybe a couple of minutes in, they're 28 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: down like fifteen points. I like, this game's over. And 29 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: then I just don't even turn on the TV, which 30 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: is unlike me. I mean, I probably watch as much 31 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: TV as any human in America, especially I do it 32 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: for a living, and to try to always have a 33 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: game on on one of the television's in the house. 34 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: Didn't do it. Then I checked my phone. I got 35 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: some burgers on the barbecue. Knicks have lost, obviously up 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: two ozho going to the garden. Probably the most expensive 37 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: Nick ticket potentially ever. I mean, when you factor in 38 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: inflation everything. So if you live in that area, you 39 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: want to watch your squad, any playoff basketball game, any 40 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 1: playoff hockey game, baseball off and running Dodgers look good, 41 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: the Padres look good. So you want to check out 42 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: a baseball game, football game. Football is not that far away. 43 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: It's not right around the corner, but it's not forever. 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: So we've already passed the draft. We're just like, I mean, 45 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: a couple months away from the fourth of July and 46 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: then Boom training camp will be here. So if you 47 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: want to get your tickets early, you know we got 48 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: you covered.

I think I'll bang out some questions 55 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: and I'll give my Fugazi Friday probably in the middle, 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: and then I'll bang out some more. How do you 57 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: survive the offseason? I swear I'm losing my mind over here. 58 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: Just don't say baseball or basketball. They don't even come 59 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: close to filling the void. There is no filling the void. 60 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: But as someone that I mean, I watch a lot 61 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: of football, like many of you, I can take a 62 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: deep breath for a couple months. I when sun comes out, 63 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: play a little golf, enjoy some family time, just take 64 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: a deep breath, calm before the storm. So I like 65 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: the build up of the summer. I mean, I'm a 66 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: summer guy, not a winter guy. So I'm a football 67 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: guy through and through, but I do like to experience summer, 68 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: even if where I'm at it's one hundred and fifteen degrees. 69 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: Question for the bag, how cool would it be if 70 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: arch ended up on the Colts. It's also a decent 71 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: chance it's happening because the Colts are gonna stink. We 72 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: talked about this the other day, which Manning gets discussed 73 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: like he's Peyton's son even more than Eli. It's like 74 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: he's Peyton's a guy. The crazy part is he's not 75 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Peyton's son, He's not Eli's son. He's Cooper's son. Obviously 76 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 1: they're all synonymous with each other. I would say, Peyton, 77 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, I guess if you're older, if you were 78 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: like my dad, you knew that family from Archie. But 79 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: Peyton has really taken the mantle of being the most 80 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: famous Manning and he deserves it. Even though his brother 81 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: had won multiple Super Bowls before. He had won multiple 82 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowls and won his first Super Bowl before Peyton 83 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: won one, or maybe I guess Peyton won one and 84 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: then Eli one one. But regardless, I do think we 85 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: talk and just the casual person. I'm sure I'm guilty 86 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: of this if we're having a cocktail, just bullshit about him. 87 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: It's like, Oh, Manning, he's gonna be like Peyton. It's like, guys, 88 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: he's Cooper's son, Like you know, if I was gonna 89 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: argue with you, So why couldn't he go to the Giants? 90 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: The Giants had Eli. They won multiple supers Super Bowls 91 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: with Eli. Hell, Peyton only won the one Super Bowl 92 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: with Indy. I think it would be cool if he 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: went to either spot. But again, he's not Peyton or 94 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: Eli Sun. He's Cooper's who was a great athlete, was 95 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: going to Ole Miss to play wide receiver before he 96 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: got I don't want to screw up whatever he had, 97 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: but it forced him to retire from football. And if 98 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: you've watched that special on the Mannings, it was a 99 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: big driving force for Peyton and like kind of drove 100 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: him through college and early on in his NFL career 101 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: was like playing for Cooper, a huge Ravens fan here. 102 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: Over the past few years, the opinions of Ravens fans 103 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: have increasingly grown sour on Harball. Year after year. We 104 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: are very dominant team in the regular season, but always 105 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: seem unprepared for the big moments. For example, in the 106 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: Bills divisional game this year, if you told me they 107 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: didn't practice ball control the entire week or at halftime adjustments, 108 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't beat an eye. I think we should have 109 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: promoted Mike McDonald last year while he was still in 110 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: house and clearly showed the Ravens mentality. What do you 111 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: think about John's recent quote unquote success during the Lamar era. 112 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: I think anytime you're in a situation like him and 113 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was a little bit of a version of 114 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: like this. When you win that Super Bowl early, it 115 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: gained you a lot of equity with the franchise. So 116 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: he woned whatever against the forty nine Ers, just like 117 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: McCarthy wanted early against the Steelers, and that carries with 118 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: you with some of your devastating losses. I think at 119 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: this point in time, over the next two or three years, 120 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: because listen, you guys consistently win you're one of the 121 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: better run organizations. He hires fantastic coaches. I mean, Mike 122 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: McDonald's pretty good. Higher like you get credit for that. 123 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: Jesse mentor his brother's guy, like that was John Harbaugh's guy, 124 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: Anthony Linson, who's now the USC defensive coordinator, Like that 125 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: was a John Harbaugh hire. That they are great at 126 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: hiring defensive coaches. I mean they really are. So he 127 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: does a lot of good. But when you have a 128 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: player this dominant, especially in the regular season, and a 129 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: defense that is consistently pretty sweet, I mean they're not 130 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: always like two years ago best defense in the league, 131 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: but they are never it doesn't feel like I'm sure 132 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: we could find some examples. But during the Lamar era, 133 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: they've been really, really good. I would say these next 134 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: couple of year and would say the same thing for 135 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: the Bills when you got Josh Allen, when you got 136 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, I mean, it's Super Bowl bust. You know, 137 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: they are probably two of the only teams, like Chiefs 138 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: are truly the only team in the league that you 139 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: can say the Eagles now because they got over the 140 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: hump and they won it with Jalen, They're like, if 141 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: you said, right now, the season ends and you lose 142 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, like that is a major disappointment 143 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs, to the Eagles, and I think the 144 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: Ravens and the Bills are two teams that like, when 145 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: you have a quarterback this freaking good, it's on your 146 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: coach to get it done. You know, you want to 147 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: become like John Harbaugh can become a legend by winning 148 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: another Super Bowl. But it also feels in a weird 149 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: way like they're far away. I mean two years ago 150 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: they get worked at home by the Chiefs, who you know, 151 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: it's like, scored seventeen points. And then last year they 152 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: lose the Bills, who I think they were clearly better 153 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: than now. I don't put Mark Andrews drops like that. 154 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: Is that John's fault in ball security? Like what's he 155 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: supposed to tell Lamar hold on to the ball. He's not. 156 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: He's not the offensive coordinator. So I don't know. I mean, 157 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: I hear you. I just think beside like nitpicking Mark 158 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: Andrews dropping the ball or Lamar fumbling the ball in 159 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: the pocket, regardless, Like John Harbaugh's got to win with 160 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: these teams. He's got to win a Super Bowl. I mean, 161 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: because this team is more dynamic than the team he 162 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl with the first time. Are the 163 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: Steelers slowly becoming the Saints where they probably would have 164 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: blew it up and started their rebuild, but they're holding 165 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: onto the Super Bowl hopes, so they just keep getting 166 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: old and expensive. I would say a major difference is 167 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: the Saints have had some lulls, right, They've had the 168 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: lolls the last couple of years. They had them for 169 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: in the middle of the Drew Brees era. The Steeler 170 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: team has never lost, right that They have never been like, oh, 171 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: the Steelers just went five and twelve, Like that is 172 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: not happening. Now their seasons feel like a disappointment because 173 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: you know they're winning whatever nine ten games and then 174 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: getting rolled in the first round. And that's totally understandable. 175 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: But I don't think they're comparable at all. And they're 176 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: definitely not comparable franchises. I mean, the Saints when I 177 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: was a kid were called the Aints, they were called 178 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: the Aks. People wore paper bags to the games. People 179 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: get mad at Mike Tomlin because he keeps going ten 180 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: and seven. So it's I don't think it's comparable at all. Now, 181 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: relative to like their situation for good teams like, yeah, 182 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: they this, They're just in a weird spot. They really are, 183 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: And I don't really think anything gets better this year necessarily, 184 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: even though I like their draft. The tackles good. The 185 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: running back from Iowa. I watched Iowa in a weird 186 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't know why, but a couple times this year 187 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: he was a stud. That's a good pick. How do 188 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: you think the Patriots draft did with their draft? While 189 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: giving draft grades immediately after the conclusion of their draft 190 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: is silly. I feel like they did pretty well addressing 191 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: needs while also adding value players in the mid to 192 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: late rounds. Curious to hear your thoughts. I've come around 193 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: on not that I was ever down on him, but 194 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: the listen. You can nitpick arm length all you want, 195 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: but talking to Willie Cologne last week or not last week, 196 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean literally yesterday. I do think when you're wired 197 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: the right way and you're just a smart, tough guy, 198 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: like you're just not going to fail. He's just not 199 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: going to fail. Now, how good is he going to be? 200 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: Because anytime you draft an offensive lineman in the top five, 201 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: you want him to be a pro bowler. Time will tell, 202 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: But I think we have a long history. Like you 203 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: don't bet around those type guys, or you don't bet 204 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: against those type guys, will Campbell, you just don't like 205 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna play in the NFL for a long time. Now, 206 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: how good it'll come down to? Does that armlengk become 207 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: an issue? But as Willie said, if you coach these 208 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: guys the right way, like you can't play maybe like 209 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan Ogden or Trent Williams, your styles a little bit differently, 210 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: and Josh McDaniel's for a long period of his career. 211 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't say Matt Light is exactly Trent Williams, 212 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, or now I know Josh you know he 213 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: was in the two thousands. He wasn't always the offensive coordinator. 214 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: But but my point is simple is that you can 215 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: figure it out and if you have to attack your 216 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: protections a little bit differently or coach the technique a 217 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: little bit differently, that's what you got to do. But 218 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a good player. And obviously 219 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: Henderson the Ohio State running backs of stud I mean 220 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: home run hitter. They drafted a guy Kyle Williams, the 221 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver from Washington State in the second round. I 222 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: did not love the Polk pick last year from Washington. 223 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: I thought he was a third best wide receiver on 224 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: his own college team. Now, granted that college team was 225 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: in the championship and they had good wide receivers, but 226 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: I think McMillan for the Bucks is a better player, 227 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: and I think they realized they needed to kind of 228 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: restock the cupboard there. But you know, I'm not going 229 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: to break down your third day picks. But other than that, 230 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: I'd be pretty bullish on the Patriots. This is a 231 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: guy not happy because yesterday I said that the I 232 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys gave up a little too much. I mean, 233 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: I just thought that giving up a third round pick 234 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: for a guy that is going to need a new 235 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: contract that not of a lot of other people wanted. 236 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: I just didn't like the deal. And the comment was 237 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: how he gave a third rounder for Dotson. We really 238 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: needed a number two wide receiver. The Cowboys were going 239 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: to draft McMillan, but the Panthers took him at eight. 240 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: The Cowboys were trying to trade for him during the draft, 241 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: but the Steelers wanted a first or second for him. 242 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: You take your take on this needs more context, just 243 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: like the Steelers will wait for Rogers because they are 244 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: desperate for the Cowboys. Here's the thing. Let me pull 245 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: up the Eagles trade for Dodson. So the Eagles gave 246 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: a third round pick and two seventh round picks in 247 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: exchange for a fifth round pick. Yeah, it's not a 248 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: good trade. I don't disagree, but I'd say Howie has 249 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: a long history of making good trades, and maybe he underestimated. 250 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: I forget at the time. Was someone injured, Did they 251 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: not like the rest of their room? Did they think 252 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: he brought something different? I think it's he would say 253 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: he would like that one back just because someone else 254 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: paid something like he doesn't like that trade. And he 255 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: has a long history of making sweet trades. In your 256 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: most recent history of Jerry Jones making two big trades 257 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: a fourth and a third round pick, which are valuable 258 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: picks for a team that is very like three or 259 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: four players at the top of their org jerk. The 260 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: Trey Lance thing was a disaster, and you just gave 261 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: away a fourth round pick, this third round pick. I 262 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: just can't get behind it. For a guy, I thought 263 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 1: the Dotson trade was weird too, but I gave Howie 264 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt, like Jerry recently hasn't earned 265 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt based on his recent moves 266 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: in the trade world. And you go, wait, especially when 267 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: you factor in you know, how we bet on their 268 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: draft grade. It was a local kid, and again they 269 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: regretted it. You know, this cowboy thing was like, we're 270 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: desperate for this elite town. Well, it's like that is 271 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: the team that's punting on this guy. I wouldn't have 272 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: done a deal with him. I'm sorry now, I hear you. 273 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: I don't disagree that you need offensive help, but I 274 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: just think that's a steep price to pay for a 275 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: guy that is a one year rental that you're a 276 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: team that is very desperate for picks. Your owner's proven 277 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: to be cheap. The other thing is, like Jeffrey has 278 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: proven over like a three or four year period, like 279 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: he'll spend the mon I was cashing the leak right 280 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: behind Jimmy Haslin. Your guy won't even though he's really rich. 281 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: Like that's a fact. And I've always just I'm guilty 282 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: of being Oh, Jerry's rich, he's wheeling a dealing like 283 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of cheap. Crafts were like that forever too. 284 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: We talked about that yesterday. So I hear you listen. 285 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: If he's good, no one will really care. Been watching 286 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: your videos for the past seven hours. Good stuff. That's 287 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: a lot of watching me. I give you credit because 288 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: I don't think I could do that. Well. I can't. 289 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: I mean when I when I get shared like my Instagram, 290 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: like the reels and Twitter videos, I just press reposts. 291 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: I can't even I hate watching myself, but I appreciate that. 292 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: Wondering your thoughts on the Broncos is upcoming season. Keep 293 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: up the hard work. I think I said it last 294 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: year that that was gonna be the worst version of 295 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: the Chargers in the Broncos tho's gonna be their worst 296 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: teams from a roster standpoint. Now you can win eleven 297 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: twelve games and have a better team and win win 298 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: a game or two less. You're right. A fumble doesn't 299 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: go right here, an injury happens, but your team's going 300 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: to be better now. Sean Payton really liked that. Was 301 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: it the UCF running back you know, like they were 302 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: He talked about it after the draft. Who did the 303 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: Broncos draft? There should just be a page where I 304 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: can pull it up really quick. The Texas dB was 305 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: one of those guys that during the season people weren't 306 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: talking about him as a first round pick, and the 307 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: playoffs happened and the combine and everything happens, and he 308 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he's a riser because he's viewed as 309 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: a really good player. But I asked a buddy in 310 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: the league because some of my friends were definitely lukewarm 311 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: on him where he was drafted, and then some of 312 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: the pundits loved him right. People were really high on him. 313 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: Clearly teams were highing The Broncos are high on I said, 314 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: Brian Branch, the kind of safety hybrid nickel from the 315 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: from the Lions, who was people coming out the reason 316 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: he went in the mid second round is because like 317 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: kind of small, what positions do he play? And it's 318 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: like he's clearly a first round pick. I said, well, 319 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: is this guy that? And I had some friends that said, 320 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: I like Branch more so, you know, this is a nickel, 321 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: which is a starting corner position in the league. Like 322 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: if you can play the slot, you are a starter. 323 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: And if you can kind of play that hybrid role 324 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: like I can play safety, I can play corner in 325 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: a pinch on the outside, I can do a lot 326 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: of different things. There's a lot of value there. So 327 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: I think depending on who you talk to, people were 328 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: really high on him. Some people thought it's a little 329 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: bit of an overdraft. Clearly they liked Genty a lot, 330 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: and it was clear that Genty wasn't going to be 331 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: there and that they weren't going to be able to 332 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: trade up, and that's not a good move. So they 333 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: take RJ. Harvey in the second round, who Sean Payton loved, 334 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: so I listen, I give him the benefit of doubt 335 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: when he's evaluating that player because he has a pretty 336 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: good track record. I think the only question is gonna 337 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: be specifically because it's gonna be one of their rivals, 338 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: is they could have taken Hampton in the first round. 339 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: They could have just taken the guy the Chargers took. 340 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: So if it we're gonna gonna judge those two players 341 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: like you could have had Hampton. If Hampton becomes one 342 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: of the best running backs in the league, there's a 343 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: lot of pressure on barn There to be an impact player, 344 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: and if he doesn't and Harvey does, then he'll look 345 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: like a genius right, and it'll look like the Chargers 346 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: overdrafted him. So sometimes it doesn't necessarily like if a 347 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: running back had gone two spots later, but it had 348 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: gone to like the Cardinals, like whatever. But like it's 349 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: going to a team in your division that you're gonna 350 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: play twice and just gonna have a huge impact on 351 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: every year you play. So it's gonna be fascinating to watch. 352 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: I think the Bronc is gonna be pretty good. And 353 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: like I said, he's earned the benefit of doubt because 354 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: Harvey's another guy depending on who you talk to. But 355 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: catch the ball, get him in space. He's fast, forty 356 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns. I mean, yeah, he's just he's a talented player, 357 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: big twelve kind of, but he dominated them.

He talked about an 395 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: altogether one week of international games overseas where sixteen games 396 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 1: are played in different cities across the world, and a 397 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: bye week given before or after the week. Well, what 398 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: would be on television? The NFL during the season is 399 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: never going to have a bye week for everybody. That's 400 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: never gonna happen at the same time, because television pays 401 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: the bills. So it's like if I don't have advertisers 402 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: on the show, like there's no food on the table right. 403 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: The reason in twenty twenty, the NFL is like there's 404 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: absolutely zero chance we're not playing football. Same with the SEC, 405 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: there's zero chances we're not playing football. Why because the 406 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: games on television literally pay for everything, so they will 407 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: never have a bye week where nobody's playing. Now, the 408 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: second bye week is something the media never shut up 409 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: about ever, and the players talk about it too. I've 410 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: never seen the league. I don't care if they want 411 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: to institute it. I'm not gonna complain, And honestly, I 412 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: like as the season gets going, when there are weeks 413 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: where there's way less games to watch, so it's it's 414 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: easier for me. I'm that's this is a selfish thing 415 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: to say, but when there are only three or four 416 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: games on TV in the morning, and then two afternoon 417 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: games and then all the primetime games, it's much easier 418 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: for me to work. But you know, the league has 419 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: never felt inclined, the league office with rog to do 420 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: that for whatever reason, and I don't care enough to 421 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: like look into it. But until it feels like the 422 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: league is ever entertaining that thought, it's kind of pointless 423 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: to talk about. Just one of those things that the 424 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: media talks about constantly. That is, now, if the if 425 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: the players want to negotiate it in the next collective 426 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: bargaining agreement, maybe it can happen. But if if they don't, 427 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: it's it doesn't feel like it's ever gonna happen. Question 428 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: for you, having played in Arizona a number of times, 429 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: why does the Phoenician not get more respect in the 430 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: course rankings. Personally it's in my top three in the 431 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 1: Scottsdale area and it never seems to get ranked high 432 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: on any list. I've only played at one time, and 433 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: like you said, I liked it a lot. It goes 434 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: right up through Camelback. It's beautiful the hotel. Again. Never 435 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: stayed there, but I know, like the San Francico Giants 436 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: stay there. I think a lot of the Major League 437 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: Baseball team stay there. Is really nice. It's a pretty 438 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: famous hotel. I don't know good question gets lost in 439 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: the shuffle a little bit. I can't exactly tell you why, 440 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: but yeah, I've never heard anyone stay at the Phoenician 441 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: that didn't like it. Quick, I'll hit on the couple 442 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: of fugasis really quick. I started because it's supposed to 443 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: be healthy for you, taking fish oil, and just like 444 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: anything you would take right like antioxidants, an advil or whatever. 445 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: You just take and don't even think about it. After 446 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: a couple days of taking it straight in in Arizona, 447 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: if you're outside, you're working out, you're gonna sweat. I 448 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: started sweating, and I started smelling like a sushi restaurant. 449 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: I could smell like the salmon on me. And then 450 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: I googled it and it's like, you gotta be careful. 451 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: If you take too much of it, you will smell 452 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: like a fish. And even when I wasn't sweating, I 453 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: could like smell it like on my mustache. I do'n't 454 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: have a mustache, but like if I hadn't shaved. And 455 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 1: then I sweated on my clothes and I was just 456 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: I put on clothes this morning and I was like, 457 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: where's this fish smell coming from? And I'm smelling my shirt. 458 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, my shirt doesn't smell like it. And then 459 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: I realized I take off my shorts, so I'm in 460 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: my underwear and I walk out to the kitchen and 461 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: Maria's there and I say, can you smell my shorts 462 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: and tell me what they smell like? And she takes 463 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: one with and she starts laughing, and obviously it's smelled 464 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: like fish, And it's just I would never have taken 465 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: because its supposed to be healthy for You're supposed to 466 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: be good for a lot of different elements of your life. 467 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: But if you are gonna smell like a fucking fish, 468 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: if you have to take the supplement, I just don't 469 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: think that is a workable solution for whatever the fish 470 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: try to give you. Maybe I just need to eat 471 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: more salmon. But I think I'm done with fish oil 472 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: because it has made my clothes all my workout I 473 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 1: had to throw away a bunch of workout clothes. Now 474 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: granted they were like old stuff from like Fresno State 475 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: dry fits from Nike from like six but they reaped 476 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: of they smell like a salmon swimming through the swimming 477 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: through the Atlantic, and my other this isn't necessarily fugeesy, 478 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: but it's definitely just a little rant. I Uh. One 479 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: of the best things I ever did was was leaving 480 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: California and living in Arizona. And I really can't love 481 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: it anymore. And this place is freaking awesome. And every 482 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: single person that I meet or know that is also 483 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: from California, we just laugh, like God, we hack the 484 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: system here. This is and whenever we go back, because again, 485 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: northern California is not exactly Newport Beach or San Diego, 486 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: and you go, you're like, God, this place is old. 487 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine living here. And my family still 488 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: lives there. But I love being here. The one thing 489 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: that's tough is like, we're going somewhere maybe for Memorial 490 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: Day and over the summer. It's like, my brother has 491 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: my mom, so like when he leaves somewhere, he can 492 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: just leave the dog there. They can have my mom 493 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: watch the kids. Right, And a lot of you that 494 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: live wherever you live, that have family around you for 495 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: just little things, right, It's like, hey, we're leaving for 496 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: a couple of days, can you just can we just 497 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: drop the dog of your house? Yeah, no problem, bring up, 498 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: bring little Fifi over and I finding somewhere and some 499 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: people to watch your dog is more challenging than you 500 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: would think. Uh, And we have tried many places. We 501 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: tried one place one time and she got into a 502 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: little tussle, lost the tooth, a little brawl. Hopefully she won, 503 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: but you know she lost the tooth. So fought this 504 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: dog named Lionel, So you know, Lionel can hold her 505 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: head eye as well or his hide. But you know 506 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: there's this other place that's like a dog hotel. It 507 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: might as well just be like the Four Seasons for dogs. 508 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: Like I'm paying this, it's like get shoved into a 509 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: little locker. Like at what's going on here. It's just 510 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: a challenge. So any of you guys that have family 511 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: around or people that live around you listen, there are 512 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: those benefits are something that I'm definitely jealous of because 513 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: it makes life a lot easier and we don't even 514 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: have kids yet, which, you know, God speed to that 515 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: process once we got to figure that one out question. 516 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: Is there anything you hear from someone that will reveal 517 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: that they know nothing about ball? Like, for example, in basketball, 518 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm a lifelong Laker fan, but when someone tries to 519 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: tell me Kobe top three all time, I immediately know 520 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: they know nothing about the sport. With football, it's more rare, 521 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: but when they say Dak is one of the league's 522 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: best or Herbert is one of the league's worst, I 523 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: immediately know they don't know what they're talking about. Are 524 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: their takes you hear that make you go, this guy 525 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: doesn't know the sport at all? Uh, that's a good question. 526 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: I think the I will say this, like to me, 527 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: let's use Steph Curry, Like, is Steph Curry a better 528 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: player than Lebron. No, Like, obviously, Lebron pound for pounder 529 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: in his prime is just a better player, two way 530 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: player than Steph Curry. But anyone that argues that Steph 531 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: Curry isn't more important to the sport and more enjoyable 532 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: for the casual fan to watch over the course of 533 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: his I think would kind of be on like crack. 534 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: And I think Lebron has this like hive like Beyonce 535 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: or Taylor Swift on the Internet. It's like, yeah, always 536 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: arguing that these better than Jordan or whatever. It's like 537 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: you're not changing. It's like politics that there is nothing 538 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: you can ever do to convince me that Lebron James 539 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: better than Michael Jordan. It will never happen. And literally, 540 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: most people in my life that are my age or 541 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: older are never budget either, Like they're never budgeting. And 542 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: I think sometimes we argue like that, But listen, if 543 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: you want to argue over you know, if you love 544 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, like yeah, maybe you're not like Phil Jackson 545 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: or Tom Thibodeau. When it comes to basketball schematics and 546 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: ranking players, You're not exactly Jerry West there. But that 547 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: doesn't bother me as much. I think sometimes and I 548 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: see this, you know, on Twitter a lot, you know, 549 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,479 Speaker 1: football breaking down the All twenty two. Everyone wants to 550 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: pretend that they know so much. It's like, guys, at 551 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: the end of the day, this is football. We're not 552 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: developing a rocket here. We're not developing, you know, the 553 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: ability to build a skyscraper. That this isn't that complicated. 554 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: Now we can argue whether this guy is better than 555 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: that guy, like that's a normal, healthy debate. But I 556 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: think sometimes that you see some of these film guys, 557 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: it's like, guys, this this isn't that big a deal. 558 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: Just fucking get your best player of the ball in space, 559 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: figure it out, you know. And I think we spend 560 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: so much time arguing over these like nuances of the sport. 561 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: It's like, gets back to Belichick what he said, It's 562 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: like the sport a lot of people over complicate this thing. 563 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: Get your best players against their worst players, and get 564 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: your worst players to avoid their best players and their strengths, 565 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, try to have your weaknesses go the other way. 566 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: And whatever their weaknesses are, find a way to exploit them. 567 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: It's just basically like, this just is not that complicated, 568 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: even though it is complicated in the sense of like 569 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: the verbiage of a play, and obviously there are adaptations 570 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: of being able to add lib a play with whether 571 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: it's audibling at the line of scrimmage, whether it's just 572 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: knowing based on different I'm not saying the game overall 573 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: is not complicated, but I think so many people that 574 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: like cover the sport want to prove how smart they are. 575 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: It's like, guys, you don't need to talk like you're 576 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: Sean Payton here. In a weird way, Kobe is underrated, 577 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: like his movement and his power, and maybe it's changed 578 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: once he passed away and in that accident with the helicopter. 579 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: I do think it, like put it into perspective how 580 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: his cultural impact, like how famous he was on the 581 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: biggest team in the league, and the impact he had 582 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: on players. But in a weird way, he's kind of 583 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: overrated as a player because, like you said, some people 584 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: are like he's like one of the two or three 585 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: best players of all time. It's like he wasn't even 586 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: the best player of his generation that was Tim Duncan. 587 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: We haven't had the Cowboys move off of DA. I 588 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: know they paid him a ton of money, but he 589 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: can't win big games and can't stay healthy. If he 590 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: feels like the Cowboys, if it feels like the Cowboys 591 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: are always right there but somehow can't get over or 592 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: pass the wild card? Do you think Dak can get 593 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys to Super Bowl? If not, what do they 594 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: have to do to get there. I've said this for 595 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: a long time. I do think he's good enough to 596 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: just go on a run, a three or four game run, 597 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,239 Speaker 1: because we've seen him have these games that are worthy of, 598 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: like a winning big right in the regular season. I 599 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: remember a couple years ago he had against the Eagles. 600 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: Last year that game winning drive against the Steelers. He's 601 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: had these moments, yet in the playoffs he plays terribly. 602 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: So I would say, yeah, he is good enough to 603 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: have like a three game stretch in the playoffs, assuming 604 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: their team is good enough. But every year that goes by. 605 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: Now he's coming off a hamstring injury, you'd probably bet 606 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: against it. Thoughts on McCarthy and his likely readiness to 607 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: lead Vikings offense. Did the Vikings do enough with their 608 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: own line to protect them well. Unlike Cousins, he can move, 609 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: so he's not Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray. But he's 610 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: a good athlete, so their offensive line. They signed some 611 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: guys in free agency, which obviously will help. They'll get 612 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: their left tackle back off injury, which will clearly help. 613 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: But he is like looking at some of his I 614 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: guess he didn't run the forty here, but his short 615 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: shuttle was fast. Three comes like he's a good athlete, 616 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't worry about his movement. Like he can 617 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: do things. I guess Sam was too. Sam ran into 618 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: some sacks down the stretch, but Sam could move. He 619 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: plays a life that's JJ JJ like Sam is gonna 620 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: be able to play like that. Cousins couldn't. Cousins was 621 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: a sitting duck. That's not the case here. As a 622 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: Dolphins fan, I have come to accept that we will 623 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: always be middle of the pack. I've never seen us 624 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: win a playoff game. My question is why do teams 625 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: accept mediocrity for long? Love the pod Because it's pretty simple. 626 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: The NFL pays you whether you win or lose. So 627 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 1: if you're Stephen Ross, you're any owner right, you don't 628 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: need to fire people all the time and pay them 629 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: to go away. And you say, yeah, we'll write it 630 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 1: out because no matter what, you're not only making money, 631 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: you're making a lot of money. So it's one of 632 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: the few businesses in America. It's like insurance. You know 633 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: how many these insurance companies. We all deal with it. 634 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: You know, I have pay for car insurance, pay for 635 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: held insurance, pay for all these insurances, pay for home insurance. 636 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: If my house were to burn down or I were 637 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: to get into a car wreck or whatever. I have 638 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: been paying them consistently for X number of years. Right, 639 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: Yet when I need the money, I gotta like fight 640 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: them for the money. It's like one of my paying 641 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: when it is part of the business. But it's an 642 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: incredible business. Why Warren Buffett invested in insurance companies because 643 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: guarantee cash ref I mean, it's like TV. The cable 644 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: bundle was like that forever the Comcasts and the Cocks 645 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: and whatever your cable company was. Everyone had to have 646 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 1: cable to watch television. We're just giving them one hundred 647 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty whatever it was a month, and then 648 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: eventually you're like, I'm not paying for this anymore, and 649 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: that business models fucked the NFL business model as long 650 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: as the league is willing to pay huge amounts of money, 651 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: or excuse me, the television networks for the league, that 652 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: you are making so much four hundred and plus million 653 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed just from the television networks, that that has 654 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: nothing to do with any ticket sales, that has nothing 655 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: to do with any merchandise, that has nothing to do 656 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: with anything else, just the television network, which the Cowboys 657 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: make the same as the Cardinals make, the same as 658 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Well, your player salary cap, which is by 659 00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: far your biggest expense, is you know, like sixty percent, 660 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: So even though you pay your coaches a lot, it's 661 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: not that much. You're not paying that many other people 662 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: in the building that much money. So you're probably guaranteed 663 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: give or take one hundred million dollars profit guaranteed at 664 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. And then you factor in 665 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: everything else, like the merchandise, so you're just you're you're 666 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: never gonna be in the red. You can't even really 667 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: even have a recessionary year. The only thing that's ever 668 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 1: threatened that was twenty twenty and they plowed right through 669 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: love listening to the podcast. I was listening to Colin 670 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: today and he was talking about he sees it better 671 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: for the Rams to use their two first rounders next 672 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: year to support Stafford instead of getting his replacement. What's 673 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: your take on this. I believe it would be better 674 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,280 Speaker 1: to take a quarterback because with the ability to trade 675 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: up with those picks, you may not have the future 676 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: that in the future drafts you could possibly end up 677 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: like the Steelers having a major loss at quarterback. I 678 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: think we are so far away, and Colin's better at 679 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: this than me, Like talking about next year's draft class 680 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: is completely pointless. Like we got some names, that's interesting. 681 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: What to see how they all play, from Sellers in 682 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: South Carolina to Arch to just go around the country. 683 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: Whoever the top four or five quarterbacks are. There are 684 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: gonna be a couple guys Baker Mayfield, Joe Burrow, cam Ward, 685 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels that have incredible seasons and they're like, God, 686 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: this guy's a top five pick. Might like Joe Burrow 687 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: or Jayden Daniels, Like this guy's a top one or 688 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: two pick. Baker Mayfield top pick, So that's gonna happen. 689 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: So we don't know that right now. The other thing 690 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: is what a Stafford look like, because the last couple 691 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: of years he's had stretches where it's like, got it 692 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 1: kind of look told. Then you have stretches where it's 693 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: like he's a top five quarterback right now. So I 694 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: think you got to play that out. And I think 695 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: the kicker is the Rams have proven. You'd be kind 696 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: of crazy to not think they're going to be a 697 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: playoff team in two thousand twenty like this upcoming fall, 698 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: so like in January of twenty twenty six. But I 699 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 1: think the Falcons are a pretty big wild guarden. Like, 700 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: what if that pick is fifteen? So then if that 701 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: picks fifteen like it was this year, could you take 702 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: fifteen and twenty five and move up to four or 703 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: five because some of these teams that already have quarterbacks 704 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: are gonna be bad this year, or you know, have 705 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks and take one of the guys. So I 706 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: think that would definitely be on the table. But what 707 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: if Stafford You could argue, even if he like wins 708 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: the MVP, what is he thirty seven years old? I 709 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: think that everything's on the table, and I would be 710 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: stunned if less. If I was less need, I would 711 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: mandate that every one of my area scouts, if you 712 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: have a top quarterback in your area, a guy that's 713 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: gonna get drafted in the top I would say seventy 714 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 1: five picks. A guy coming into the year that's viewed 715 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: as like a top first or second day quarterback, you 716 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: have to see that guy live. And if I was 717 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: less need, you know, depending on how my schedule played out, 718 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out what the NFL schedules here 719 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. I guess maybe next week 720 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: or in two weeks, I would try to hit through 721 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: or for of them. So I would make a scouting 722 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: effort where you know, if you're the Ravens, you're not. 723 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: It's not the end all be all to see all 724 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,919 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks live. But I do believe now you could 725 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: argue it should just be a yearly thing. If you 726 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: have a top quarterback in your area, as a scout, 727 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: you should see the guy. And I mean look at 728 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: the Eagles, right, I mean the Eagles went from Carson 729 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 1: Wentz and they drafted Jalen Hurts, and they've traded for 730 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: Canny Pickett, They've had Mariota. So like, you never know 731 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: when a quarterback that gets drafted in the first round 732 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: or even really high, even if you're not in the 733 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: quarterback world, becomes available a couple years later, so you 734 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: might as well. This is why when people ask like, 735 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: do you even spend that much time? Well, if he's 736 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: in your area, you spend a lot of time on 737 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 1: the player because in a couple of years, you want 738 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 1: to know that guy really well, even after he's been 739 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 1: in the NFL. So I would say the Rams, just 740 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: like the Browns, I mean, the Giants did it this year, 741 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: you are going to be in the quarterback scouting business. 742 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,439 Speaker 1: Now doesn't mean you end up taking one, but you're 743 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,800 Speaker 1: going to know everything about these guys before the combine 744 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: because you are going to have done a lot of 745 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: effort that maybe you wouldn't have done two or three 746 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 1: years ago. Now does that mean you actually pulled the trigger? 747 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think it definitely means that 748 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: you have. You have had a detailed operation during the 749 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 1: fall of paying attention to what's going on with these guys. 750 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: The volume
