Speaker 1: you can even tell by the tone of your voice

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: that we're taping this early in the morning. It's kind

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: of like an an NPR. Dan Hansas, you've got your

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: morning glasses on. I mean it truly, got my coffee book.

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: It looks like it looks like Father's Day morning with you.

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: You might as well come in with one of those

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: rogues that you talk about. You love your bathrooms, right,

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: I did join the you know, group of humans that

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: wear bathrooms. I think it's a big step in anyone's

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: life if they're gonna take it just a few months ago,

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's a life change step in which direction

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: to the grave, but a comfortable step. I feel like

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: a nine sitcom father. It's it's domesticated, but I don't

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: think that's a bad thing. No, And it's you don't

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: bring you don't wear it every day. Certainly, there's only

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: certain times it's kind of really come in handy, but

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: when it when it does, you're feeling I'm fighting that

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: with every fiber in my being there will be no

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: bathrobes in my household, are you? I mean, it's the

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: same logic of why you put on gym shorts when

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: you get home. You just like do the most comfortable

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: thing possible. Who cares what it looks like? A I

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: don't know if I want the answer to this question,

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: but is there anything under this robe when you're walking

30
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: around the house depends? Sometimes yes, sometimes now, oh surprise,

31
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: a grab bag. Not not for us, not for us.

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: This is the Around the NFL podcast, driven of course

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: by Hundi and Uh. This is the show that Chris

34
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Westling circles on his calendar every year. In fact, this

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: is a day in the life for Chris Westling. Every

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, he goes out to the local Right

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: Aid or maybe Hallmark store and he picks up a

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: new calendar. Usually for whatever reason it's about it's one

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: of it's a horse themed calendar. He loves all different

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: kinds of horses, and he goes he immediately flips the

41
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: page to late April. Right around April and circles what

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: he believes will be the schedule release day because West

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: loves our two thousand seventeen schedule release podcast. It's my

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: own fault. Every year I forget to plan my vacation

45
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: on this day. You know. Yeah, it's the week before

46
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: the draft. Usually you never know exactly what day it is.

47
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: But it's exciting. I mean, we already know every single opponent,

48
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: but we don't know the order of it West, and

49
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: that's why it's the schedule release spectacular. So we haven't

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: told West this, but we decided to do something different.

51
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: We're actually gonna go through each week, each game in order.

52
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: Because if people in case they don't have access to

53
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: the internet, they're just using this podcast to find out

54
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: the schedule, they can take notes at home. We'll have

55
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: they no other show. We'll be doing this and by

56
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: we that's the second surprise, Mark Gregg and myself, we're

57
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: gonna head over to the cozy for a little early

58
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: morning drinking and you're gonna do the show yourself. You're

59
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: gonna need a new leadoff hitter for tonight because I

60
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: won't be finished in time for the game anyway. So yes,

61
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: despite West's reservations about this annual show. There are people

62
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: out there and maybe you listening right now that you're

63
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: very excited about the release of the schedule which dropped

64
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: it U five pm, uh Pacific time? Is that sometime

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: this afternoon? And uh, I always I this is the

66
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: first year in a long time where I didn't you know,

67
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: race to find the Jets because again, you know what's

68
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: going on with me as a Jets fan, I'm kind

69
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: of pumped about three and thirteen. So there's no excitement

70
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: on the schedule. I know they're not gonna get a

71
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: ton of problem of time games. But if you are

72
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: a a fan of a team that's relevant, this is

73
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: your first chance to look at the schedule. If you're

74
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: a fan that likes to travel uh and and travel

75
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: with the team on for road games, you get to

76
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: start uh figuring out some game plans and um and

77
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: we get to start digging in on we're one step

78
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: closer to football. That's the cell. If you have well,

79
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: it's fun to know the first weekend of games, like

80
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: what are the big games gonna be that week? And

81
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: you start kind of getting ready for that. Like if

82
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: you're a family that plans an annual party around the

83
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Thursday night Jaguars Titans game every year. You can start

84
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: getting ready or maybe or you can this year. That's

85
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: what's called the team. All of this makes sense. I

86
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: am on board with it. Look, you want, you want

87
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: to race to the schedule and find out your road

88
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: trips plan all that. Put a W and L next

89
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: to every team on your schedule. I get all of that.

90
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Just don't ask me to analyze it five months. There's

91
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: no analysis necessary. Just enjoy the schedule being released. All right,

92
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: we can. I agree with that philosophy largely. You know,

93
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about it, guys. Let's start talking about the schedule.

94
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: Because we also have a special guest. I should say

95
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the show, our eyes still now

96
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: on the draft. Uh, and we have a special draft expert.

97
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: We had one yesterday. We're gonna have another one at

98
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: the end of the show. I'll leave it at that

99
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: for now. Being expert, we'll use that term loosely. Hey,

100
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: he's someone that watches college football, true, and some say

101
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: has an eye. He's got a mouth on him. Too

102
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: many would the lad are part of your statement would

103
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: be true by all um. So we'll get to that

104
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. But let's let's talk.

105
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: How do we want to dig in? Do we want

106
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: to start by game? Well, we actually will do. Why

107
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: don't we do that? The first game alphabetical Atlanta Falcons

108
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: schedule Week one, the first game of the two thousand

109
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: seventeen NFL season. Of course, as you know, if you

110
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: know how this all works, the defending Super Bowl champion

111
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: plays Week one at home, unless the Baltimore Orioles do

112
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: not want you to use their parking lot. But if

113
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: you are a defending champion, you do start at home.

114
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: So we will be again at Gillette Stadium for the

115
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: first game on Thursday night and the and the Sacrificial

116
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: Lamb this season none other than the Kansas City Chiefs.

117
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to the throne of ease, picking up right away

118
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: Week one, Thursday night, thirty one to fourteen, and away

119
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: we fly. I mean, what, what? Who did you want?

120
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Who was coming to New England? That would have been

121
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: a tougher matchup. They they're a good team, their playoff

122
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: type of team. I'm not excited for this. I think

123
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: we have Ron Rivera to blame for this, because Ron

124
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: Rivera at the league meetings reportedly complained and said it

125
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: really was unfair. He thought for the Panthers to have

126
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: to go to Denver last year and play a rematch

127
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl in Week one, and the committee

128
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: really listened to that, they he thought. He thought it

129
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: was kind of hanging over them all, you know, offseason

130
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: they wanted to start a new It just it wasn't

131
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: fair to do that right again, so they decided not

132
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: to have the Falcons do it because of that. Well,

133
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: all right, that's fine, but I I think if you're

134
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: saying who would you want, a Super Bowl rematch would

135
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: be the appropriate way to kick off the season. And

136
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs, nice team. In the n f C,

137
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: they've got an unbelievable amount of prime time games. There's

138
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: a lot of stock being put in them this year.

139
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: But if you're not gonna go Super Bowl rematch, whatever

140
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: else you come up with is second rate compared to that. Well,

141
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: I'll counter with I never was a big fan of

142
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl rematch, and I do think it's you're

143
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: taking one of the best teams, are the best team

144
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: in the NFC the prior season, and you're putting them

145
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: in a really tough spot on the road where the

146
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: other teams lifting their raising their banner, and I kind

147
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: of like the idea of the new season being a

148
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: totally fresh start that's not connected to the last season.

149
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: So to me, that never felt like a tradition that

150
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: I needed to always be around. I feel like getdling

151
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: or coddling the falcons or filling the blank. Super Bowl

152
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: loosing a little bit soft? You know what, give me

153
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: a great game? Is this a great game? Chiefs? Just chiefs? No,

154
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing. I think that they're feels a

155
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: little tired. What's a better option? Well, I gave you one,

156
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: and I gave you mine. But it's not apparently. You know,

157
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: two teams I like that are on their home schedule

158
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: and they never think out of the box. They don't

159
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: project because the Panthers and Chargers are both coming off

160
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: bad seasons. But those are two exciting teams in my mind,

161
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: with exciting quarterbacks that I would be more intrigued by

162
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: in Week one. They probably didn't want to risk it

163
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton's right, I don't Perhaps they didn't want

164
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: to see Derek Anderson versus Tom Brady about Steelers. I mean,

165
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: I feel like we've seen that a thousand times. That's

166
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh this year. Well, but they could have oh

167
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: it had to be in Pittsurgh had no issue with

168
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: this matchup, and I'm in favor of giving the Chiefs

169
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: a loss to start the season. I mean, you mentioned

170
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: the prime time games for the Chiefs. You might as

171
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: well mention that now they have a maximum six games

172
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: of prime time Jansas City, more than the Patriots, more

173
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: than anyone I I the minute I went through this,

174
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: they'll probably, you guys, they'll get moved into a flex.

175
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: Perhaps they kind of leave an extra spot for the

176
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys Patriots sometimes, but yeah, it's a little crazy Chiefs.

177
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: Certain This is on my radar because I think they

178
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: do this every year where they try to find one

179
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: team that they project to be this hot team, and

180
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are the Chiefs. They're a nice team, but

181
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't need to see them six times in prime time.

182
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: I once watched a Monday night football game with Aaron

183
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Alex Smith, and Alex Smith spent the entire

184
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: game throwing short of the sticks where you're gonna have

185
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: a lot to Alex Smith, a lot of Tyreek kill

186
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: out of Travis Kelsey in your life. Not only six

187
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: prime time games, but five in the first half of

188
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: the season. So by the time you get to November,

189
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have seen the Chiefs five times. In practic

190
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: part of it is just because the a f C

191
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: West has a great schedule. They're playing the NFC East,

192
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: they're playing each other. There's a lot of good teams

193
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: that that's that's part. It's excited. By the way about

194
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: the schedule release, have you noticed, well we need an

195
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: anchor on that side of the spectrum. We've got I've

196
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: got one on the other side. Who was the team

197
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: that we kept seeing over and over again last year

198
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: in the first eight weeks tex I think it was

199
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: there was a team that kept on popping up last year.

200
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: But just just so you know, so you got, yes,

201
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have all these prime times at New England

202
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: week one, than they are at or home to Washington

203
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: Monday night Week four. Then the next week they are

204
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: at Houston on Sunday Night Football. Two weeks after that

205
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: they're at Oakland on Thursday Night football. The following Monday

206
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: Night Football they are against the Denver Broncos. And then

207
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: if you take it, then so that is all through

208
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: the first seven or eight weeks and then they play

209
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers on a Saturday night, uh, December sixteenth, that's

210
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: pretty intense. Uh, you might you know who you're thinking of.

211
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: I think Chris is the Bears. There's a lot of well,

212
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: and that was a major issue, and I under the

213
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: thing was, here's difference the Chiefs. There's reason to make

214
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: an argument for this kind individually. All those games makes sense.

215
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: Maybe the Texans one isn't too, but the Bears last,

216
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: for me, no sense. There are if you look at

217
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: the primetime schedule early on, I think there are a

218
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: few games that don't make a whole lot of sense.

219
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: We can get into that we want. Um And since

220
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: we are on the topic of the Patriots, uh, Greg

221
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: your thoughts on their scan. At least we got Casey

222
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: at New Orleans home to Houston, home to Carolina, at

223
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: Tampa at Jets home to Falcons. They do get the

224
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: Falcons on October twenty two, Sunday Night football. That's cool

225
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: home to Chargers, by at Denver and at you know,

226
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. You're coming out of your by

227
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: and you at at Denver and then at Oakland in

228
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: Mexico City. Well, but I think that's an advantage relatively

229
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: that they get to play Oakland in Mexico City. I

230
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: if I'm the Raiders, I hate that that you're giving

231
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: up a home game when you have your biggest game

232
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: of the season. So if you're a Raiders fan, not

233
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: only are you're losing your team, you're losing your best

234
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: game of the season, and you're if you're jacked, do rio,

235
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: you're annoyed because that's the game you want to win

236
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: the most all season. If they're in the mix and

237
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: they have to play a neutral site. But what an

238
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: interesting team, because by November nineteenth, let's say that things

239
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: don't go right for the Raiders. What's happening in the

240
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: black hole? I mean, maybe it's not the maybe there

241
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: is not the same feeling of a home team as

242
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: you win another year. Derek Carr, if you're listening, Mark

243
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: meant interesting in a very positive way. That what a

244
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: great home field advantage the Oakland Raiders have playing at

245
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: that strong teams that will surely follow them to lots

246
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: of getting a little ding Sydney for whatever we do.

247
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: We should have, yeah, we should have it. Here's a

248
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: song or something, here's a cork in the Patriots scheduled.

249
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: I am I just uncovered you know what, I'm gonna

250
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: break this as the A t N Media Insider. Here's

251
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: an exclusive from the A t N Media Insider. The

252
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: Patriots have from October two December a single home game.

253
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: That's interesting. That is, that's you don't find that too

254
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: oft Yeah, they they are one. I'm not sure the

255
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: total number. I know the Eagles have a three game

256
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: road trip at one point, and the Patriots also have

257
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: a three game road trip in December. I believe the

258
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: Eagles one is in December as well, so they will

259
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: want to get to that portion of the schedule with

260
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: some and and and the last one is at Pittsburgh,

261
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: which could be a very big game. In Week fifteen

262
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: includes back to back trips to Denver in Mexico City.

263
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: Talk about spanning the globe. You're you're far from Foxburgh also,

264
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean West. Breakdown the altitude issues the Patriots could

265
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: face them back to back weeks. That is, this might

266
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: be the best story you've ever broken, Dan. I'm impressed

267
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: you are all over the Patriots schedule. I would not

268
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: have noticed that they go nearly two months without with

269
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: just one home game. The altitude is a factor. It's

270
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: weird because Football Outsiders, who does a great job your boys?

271
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: They just strength of schedule, you know, rankings, and I

272
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: don't really buy into the strength of schedule in general,

273
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: certainly not just looking at wins and losses from last year,

274
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: which we sometimes put up on the site. But they,

275
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, they factor a lot of things, and they

276
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: had the Patriots as the easiest schedule in the entire league.

277
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: You know when I look at this, but they don't,

278
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: well they don't have this, they don't have the order.

279
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: The order suddenly looks challenge. Yeah. Part of it. Part

280
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: of it is just they're in the a f C East,

281
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: and I think the other three teams in the a

282
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: f C East they're not looking at as great teams. Also,

283
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: if they or it's have the easiest schedule in the

284
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: league according to Football Outsiders, yes, well they don't have

285
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: to play against the Patriots here, by the way, I

286
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: looked at the schedule fourteen and two, Yeah, maybe twelve

287
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: and four, somewhere in that range. The Football Outsiders isn't

288
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: ranking the NFC South as a as a tough division,

289
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: which is who the Patriots play out of division. I

290
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be a tough division to go against.

291
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: Um are you because you were really you were on

292
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: that hill with with the the White House visit yesterday.

293
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: You were pounding the table that there was nothing wrong

294
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: with the turnout, and then there was the Patriots got

295
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: all and started, what are we talking about? I'm almost

296
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: embarrassed to contribute to this conversation. Shut up, Like what

297
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: what is happening? Important things are happening in the world,

298
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: and people are getting so fired up about these pictures.

299
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: It's you know, including me yesterday, it's insane. All right,

300
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: don't you think we're touching some wires here? We're hitting

301
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: the third rail with you on this great and you

302
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: just get it. You're upset about the White House visit,

303
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: a little more upset than I mean, Greg wishes there

304
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: were fewer players, said there were a fewer. I just said,

305
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: just saying historically, there are seasons where I'm just saying

306
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: if sometimes like we're in this climate where we want

307
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: to make everything a huge point and like the reality

308
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: is there was twenty five people there in two thousand

309
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: five and thirty four, and like, so who cares? Why

310
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: are we back up? Like we we pick up. We

311
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: pick up things we want to get outraged by that

312
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: we never would have ever cared about ever before. That's

313
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: what I mean. Okay, that's good. Throwing myself under the bus.

314
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: By the way, we talked the rest of Week one

315
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: prime time. Yeah, let's do that the rest of the

316
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: Week one prime time schedule. And again, if you are

317
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,479
Speaker 1: just tuning in, this is the two thousand seventeen schedule

318
00:16:51,560 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: release extravaganza for those of you suddenly clicking randomly thirteen

319
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: minutes into the show and not listening to the early parts.

320
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: Not the same model as you know the radio and when.

321
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: If you watch this streaming on NFL dot com, and

322
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: we'll have the link on our Twitter, so you'll see

323
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: Dan raising his hand. Dan bringing extra. I'm bringing extra

324
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: to make up for the fact that West is bringing

325
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: nothing to this show. You know, it was a joke

326
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: that the West didn't like that we're getting you're getting

327
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: early morning Greg here. It was funny, you know, Alright,

328
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the prime time schedule, Casey and She's

329
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: at Pats on Thursday night, then um Sunday night football, Mark.

330
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: I know this is on your radar. The Giants at

331
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, the first Sunday Night game UH September um,

332
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: which you can usually count on almost always a Giants

333
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys game on Sunday Night Football. They get it out

334
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: of the way. It is actually, if I recall two

335
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: years ago, it was it was the game where Romo

336
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: and Witton had that big comeback where Eli mismanaged the

337
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: clock and the Giants blew the game in Dallas. They're

338
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: back in Dallas on Sunday Night Football for Al, Chris

339
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: and Michelle. I can't kill it. I I get why

340
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: it's there. The Dallas Cowboys were one of my favorite

341
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: teams to watch last year. I think that the new

342
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: version of the Cowboys I can get behind. I will

343
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: say one thing. I looked at the schedule from top

344
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: to bottom. This looks just like last year's schedule. To me,

345
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: mostly it's the same exact teams doing the same things

346
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: proceed I would say that this was a smart move

347
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: by the NFL to put the Giants on Sunday Night

348
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Football in week one before Eli Manning gets pulled for

349
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: Gino Smith and and you know its coming back alright.

350
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: Moving on, let's now look at Monday Night. That's September eleven.

351
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: UH Saints at Vikings and then the double Greg, you

352
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: love the doubleheader. I like the doubleheader. I think we

353
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: should do I would approved doing it in a different week. Yeah,

354
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: Like Week one so great that it's almost like by

355
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: then you're almost not fully appreciating getting that double ladder.

356
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: Just throw a Randal doubleheader in Week four, Chargers at Broncos.

357
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: That's a good late game though. Those are too fun

358
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: Monday night games. I feel like we're always stuck with

359
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: the forty Niners and Chris Berman, and we're gonna have

360
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: year they got off that. Well, wait till we get

361
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: to week two. Those are those are good saints. Fike,

362
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna get your candy. You're gonna get your candy.

363
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: Why what's happening? You're gonna get what you want if

364
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: you want the Niners on prime time. Somehow that happened,

365
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: you'll see. All right, let's check out Week two. You

366
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: get now that I'm curious. It's actually three. Week three

367
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: the week too, by the way, And this is actually

368
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: you know what we should talk about now, Thursday night football,

369
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: because I think this is a big year for Thursday

370
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: night football. Uh. They really got on society's radar with

371
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: all the bad games. So I'm curious if they took

372
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: note of that and maybe put in front loaded the

373
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: thing a little bit to help with buzz mark you

374
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: you did a deep dive of the TNF sked what

375
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: do we got. I think it's a challenging task because

376
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: there they probably have to put a lot of teams

377
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: on that you're never gonna never gonna get on SNF

378
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: and Money Night Football in after that Chiefs Patriots matchup,

379
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: you get in Week two Texans at Bengals. If you

380
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: really enjoyed that twelve to ten Tom Savwage versus Andy Dalton,

381
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: slobber knocker of the worst games of the year. Then

382
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: we get to Wards. On week three, we're getting Rams

383
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: at at Okay, which I come on, there are there

384
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: are some interesting things happening with those teams. We'll see

385
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: where they Let's be real. Part of the reason is,

386
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: like the CBS television schedule, these are NFL Network only games,

387
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: and we would love it if those were the best

388
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: games of the year, but the reality is when it's

389
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: on CBS, they get the more prime time teams. Yeah,

390
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: and last year, for those of us were complaining about

391
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: the Bears early on, well you get a helping of

392
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: the Bears in Week four, Bears at Packer at Packers.

393
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: They they're doing it again. You gotta at least send

394
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: him the soldier field if you're gonna do this type

395
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: of game. That that's how the schedule works. But they're

396
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: falling down the same they did not learn from last year.

397
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: They should That's why I'm saying that a lot of

398
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: the same stuff that happened last year. I'm seeing the

399
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: same algorithms all over again. I do think weeks five

400
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: and weeks six are very interesting. You get the Patriots

401
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: at the Bucks in week five, that's interesting. It's a

402
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: new team in primetime, a weird matchup. You don't it's

403
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. I like that. Week six, Carson Wentz

404
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: and the Eagles go to Carolina. A lot of players

405
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: still healthy at that point in the year. Hopefully that's

406
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: that's an interesting matchup. Okay, And you know what that

407
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: is the Amazon game, Uh, the new partnership CVA. It

408
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: will be on CBS, NFL Network, and Amazon. So that's good.

409
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 1: Week five and six, I's a little bit. And then

410
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: where we go from there, Oh, look at that. I

411
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: like Week seven to Yeah, week seven, I mean I'm

412
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: a little I'm already a little exhausted with the Chiefs.

413
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: But you at Chiefs at Raiders, that's a good matchup

414
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: on paper. Week eight, Dolphins at Ravens. I like the

415
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: Dolphins last year. We'll see what happen and tune this year.

416
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: That's not terrible Bills It Jets. That could be torture

417
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: for you. Who knows what that will be for you.

418
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: There there used to be a rule that every team

419
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: ended up being on Thursday Night football. That rule is

420
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: no longer true. You notice the Browns literally do not

421
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: have a primetime game. The Browns and the Jaguars scanning

422
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: this look like the two teams that don't smart. And well,

423
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: I get what I guess it is smart and they

424
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: have to earn it. I get all that. But for

425
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: the fans of terrible teams, it is a treat once

426
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: a year to watch your team in primetime. Not for

427
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: West and other people, but it is for me. And

428
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: you look at your schedule. If you're a bad team

429
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: up and down, and it is a long slate of

430
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: one pm games, it is an unbelievably bland Vanillay. You

431
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: know what they feel like, they're checking the national box

432
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: for the Browns is they have the London game in

433
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: the nine thirty am Solow window, and that's that's their

434
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: closest thing they get to a prime get time game.

435
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: Is We're gonna be up at six thirty in the

436
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: morning watching that game, and they'll they'll be the only

437
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: team play. You know, it's a better treat for the fans.

438
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: Win some games, provide some man, you're not you're not,

439
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: You're not in a silo with that commentary, I'd like

440
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: to see them win some games too, right. I don't

441
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: think you can blame the schedule makers when your GM

442
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: is putting bad teams that now that I'm now that

443
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: the schedules unfolding the world, I see on Thursday night

444
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They knock out too bad boring teams.

445
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: They take like the Bills and Jets, two more boring teams,

446
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: just have them square off. You lose that week basically,

447
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: But now you're taking off more bad teams. So I

448
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: think they have maybe maybe here's the question made some

449
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: moves to try to address Thursday. Here's the question, if

450
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: you don't need to put teams in prime time, if

451
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: you can take the Jags in the Browns away. Why

452
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: are some Why are the Bears on prime time? I

453
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: can't answer that for you. So it's it's it's a

454
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: big market, sure, I guess, but but they're no better

455
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: of a teams are playing on Thursday night. Also, But

456
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: here's what did happen last year though the schedule. It

457
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: got killed early and it did get better. And you

458
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: can see some of that happening because when we get

459
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: past that Bill's Jets game. Week ten, Seahawks and Cardinals

460
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: at the Cardinals bounce back. That's good. Here's the one

461
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: I think is fantastic. Week eleven. I like weird games.

462
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: Titans as Steelers. That's interesting. And they must have enough

463
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: faith in the Titans to put them against a proven opponent.

464
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: We could game that's throw up both hands of it

465
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: is all in on the Titans again. I love it. Well.

466
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: They played a great Monday night. Actually, Dick Globo's returned

467
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh. Not not that that's the reason you're tuning

468
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: in necessary. Let's hope Roethlisberger is playing in this game.

469
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: But yes, that's another good one. Next schedule is better

470
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: than get buried that he might retire by that either

471
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: either fake or retirement or you know, have a heel

472
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: injury that costs him three games. Goes from there, we'll

473
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: get to the end of this. Giants at Redskins Week twelve,

474
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: Solid Redskins again at well, I don't know, Sunday the

475
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: late game. Is that TNF the late game on Thanksgiving?

476
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: Or is that SNF. It's different, Okay, so let's let's

477
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: ignore that. Well Thanksgiving next week fourteen, Saints at Falcons.

478
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: That's a Greg favorite and that actually could be interesting

479
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: with the Saints haven't totally up at that point. Broncos

480
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: at Cults Week fifteen, and then week six team this

481
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: is a Saturday game, which they did they spin that

482
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: is TNF. I was trying to look at this thing. Well,

483
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: then forget that one. Actually, no, they do th Saturday, right,

484
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: So I think that one is Vikings at Green Bay,

485
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: which is the Ravens. Is the NFL Ravens. So I

486
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: did a pristine job giving you more information games that

487
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: are not even Thursday night games. So um, it's a

488
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: better Thursday Night's got it starts starts off a little soft,

489
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: and that's where maybe I think they've made a mistake

490
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: because it's gonna put them in danger of getting that scrutiny.

491
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: But then it looks like the schedule around how these

492
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: teams will actually turn out to be. That's what we're

493
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: not going to analyze that what that's what's on West's radar,

494
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: But on paper right now, they look like good matchups

495
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: for the back half of the season. I agree. And

496
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: while we're down here, should we talk this this Christmas schedule,

497
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: because let's do holidays. Let's let's hit let's say Thanksgiving,

498
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: and then we'll get to Christmas. Start with Thanksgiving, Vikings

499
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: at Detroit, the customary game in Detroit. That's all right,

500
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: that's fine, I'll be cover in that before. There's some potentials,

501
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: there's some potential for both of those teams to be

502
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: mediocre and that not be spicy. You know, Vikings are

503
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: hardly a guarantee that that that they're going to bring

504
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: the juice there, right, I'm with you on that. And

505
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: then they have the l A Chargers traveling to Jaral

506
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: World to face the Cowboys. That's the middle game on CBS.

507
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: You know the Chargers, And this is true for most

508
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: of the A f C West. Their schedule, they're gonna

509
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: be on TV a lot. Their schedule is very intriguing.

510
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: I think it's because they play the NFC East essentially,

511
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: and just that division is intriguing. They're they're all over

512
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: the place. And then, uh, if you're like me and

513
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: you grew up loving the NFC East, you always love

514
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: to see the Giants and the Skins at Washington at

515
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: FedEx Field. Uh so that is the Thursday night Thanksgiving

516
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: Night game, which I don't remember the Giants that are

517
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: playing on Thanksgiving Night. Uh, now it's very new. Yeah,

518
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: so uh that is. That's one that got peaked out

519
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: on Twitter. By the way, you know, we start, we're

520
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: early in the day. You start to see leaks that

521
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: one's already out there being whispered about a lot of Giants.

522
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: No surprise, we get him into prime time the first

523
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: two two weeks. Let's do a little Christmas, all right,

524
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: go ahead, talk a little Christmas baby. Well, you noticed

525
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: Mark that the schedule is very similar this year because

526
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna be it's a football Sunday on Christmas Eve.

527
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: Technically last year it was Saturday, but we basically just

528
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: pretended it was a football Sunday on Christmas Eve. So

529
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: it's a really interesting schedule this year. The thing. That's

530
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: a little different. You get double Saturday night games that

531
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: week on, so you have a Colts, Ravens and Vikings Packers.

532
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: Our families are gonna love us. Then you get a

533
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: full football Sunday with no night game on Christmas Eve,

534
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: and then you get a double header on Christmas again,

535
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: very unrewarding if you are the son or daughter of

536
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: an NFL reporter. Is daddy ever coming back? That's rough?

537
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: We just did this mean we get banged by a

538
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: leap year or something? What happened? This is last year's

539
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: schedule just reprinted. It really is. It makes sense that

540
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: the calendar only moves one day over last year. We

541
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: we just kind of pretended Football Sunday was on Saturday.

542
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: Now it actually is. You secretly love this a little bit.

543
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it happens. It's gonna happen every five years. Basically,

544
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: we'll get we're gonna get a five year break, and

545
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: then it happens to two years in a row. I

546
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: like this idea of the Steelers becoming Christmass team, like

547
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: the Lions are Thanksgivings team. Didn't they deliver with that

548
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: Ravens game last year? That was an excellent game. That

549
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: was I think the game of the year, and it

550
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: was the highest rated game in NFL network history. And

551
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: I thought maybe people weren't watching it because it was

552
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: on Christmas, that it got buried a little bit. But

553
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: people had it on and by that time in the day,

554
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: you've opened your gifts, you've eaten a ton of food,

555
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: you're just you're ready to watch this show. I think

556
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders had one of the and we'll get into

557
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: what we did. We say the games. Oh that's right, dealers,

558
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: dealers at Texans. This one's on Amazon. Bout your phone

559
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: while you're with your family. Texans. That's early. And then

560
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: the late game on Christmas is Oakland at Philly. That's

561
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: a great game, a game to break out, Ben Verse,

562
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. I like the NFL, and you know the

563
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: NFL up, Little Patrick Mahomes, break out your Santa Philadelphia

564
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: jokes there for Christmas Night and hired jokes. I'm sorry.

565
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: They are very They were tired hired eight and they

566
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: are even more so now. I think the Raiders got

567
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: banged with a bad schedule about as much as any

568
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: team in the NFL, and that going to Philly on

569
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: Christmas night is yet another reason why you got what

570
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: what are the other What are the other reasons? The

571
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: Mexico trip. The Mexico trip is a huge one. You

572
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: you finished with two road games, including having to play

573
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: Week seventeen at the Chargers on a short week. That's

574
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: a that's annoying to me. I think I think having

575
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: a road game Christmas night really stinks for your team.

576
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the four they have families too,

577
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, the four of us would say that the

578
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: Raiders deserve better, and they start three of four on

579
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: the road to spend positively. They are strong enough to

580
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: overcome this schedule very much. So can we can we

581
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: like pile these up? Let's do that? Use one for

582
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: the next. So if we ever do have shows where

583
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: we don't mention the Raiders and there's some checks and

584
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: balances and somebody audits us on this, we said, well,

585
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: we said seven positive things about them on our show.

586
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: Last Monday, someone opened a website chronicling all this. Please,

587
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: let's let's formally documented that we did say a second

588
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: positive thing. Relationships starting to feel very costly the Raids.

589
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: So you say the Raiders, you're the Mexico City trip

590
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: losing a home game playing on Christmas night three, afford

591
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: to start on the road, and closed with two road games.

592
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's I think the entire a f C

593
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: West essentially would be on my list of toughest schedules

594
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: because they have to play each other, and they got

595
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: to play the NFC East and that's challenging. They have

596
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game October nineteenth, and then they have

597
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: to travel across the country and play against the Bills

598
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: against ten days later. But that's not great either. Um,

599
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: what else? What else do we want to look? I

600
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: have a cool game to play, all right? Oh? I

601
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: like games? Can everyone see week seventeen? Week seventeen has

602
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: that TBD open slot for the late night NBC game

603
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: at eight thirties? What's did look at these games in

604
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: week seventeen and say, which one do you predict gets

605
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: moved in their west? You love this game? Good game.

606
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: That's a great game. Mark came up with it on

607
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: the fly. So it will be one that has to

608
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: involve well, I think it would have to involve too,

609
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: or would be one team has to win or so

610
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. They left that one extra spot. You

611
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 1: noticed how the Raiders are in primetime five times, they

612
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: can move a sixth. How about the week seventeen Raiders,

613
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: Chargers one or both of those teams. I feel like

614
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: we'll be playing to win that division. I expect that

615
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: division to be close and entertaining all year. Raiders come

616
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: home from their Christmas night game in Philly, they're back

617
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: on TV deciding the division. Chargers Raiders. They that's a

618
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: good one. They NBC loves the loser goes home match.

619
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: That's what That's what they're hoping, ideally, is what they want.

620
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: Where it basically announced to a one game playoff or

621
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: playing to get into the playoffs? Was yours mark Dallas

622
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles Jets? All the boxes checks out,

623
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: I'll get I'll go Carolina Atlanta for the NFC South title.

624
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: I like that. What was yours? I went Chiefs Raiders,

625
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean Chargers Raiders. Sorry, because I'm I'm on this

626
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: hill about the Cowboys faltering and the rest of the

627
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: NFC East will be tight. I'll say Redskins at Giants

628
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: get flexed into weeks. See that. There's also a Cardinal

629
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: Seahawks game. Now boys not even involved. Shots fired? Well,

630
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: sometimes it could be for a wild card too, depending

631
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: on how the division's fall. Maybe they've run away with

632
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: the division. I don't think so, but we'll see. I

633
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: just got a bad feeling about America's Day. I don't

634
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: know why I whispered. Uh anything else that we wanna

635
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: talk about here? I am curious about. Let's see how

636
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: the Port Falcons, who are probably still shell shocked, how

637
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: did the NFL treat them? Okay with their schedule? Uh,

638
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: looks all right. They got a Week five by open

639
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: at Chicago, than home to Green Bay, at Detroit home

640
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: to Bills. That's okay. Getting into your by three road

641
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: games against Pat's Jets and Panthers in the middle of

642
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: the season. Not a not a terrible schedule. It looks

643
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: like I don't love a Week four bye. Well, yeah,

644
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't like that either. One of the one of

645
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: the Week five stories were on the hook to write.

646
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: The one I did was the hardest schedules, and Football

647
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: Outsiders has the Dallas Cowboys in This really helps prove

648
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: your point Dan as the hardest schedule in the league

649
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: and has the rest of the NFC East all among

650
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: the seven hardest schedules in the league. Partly because they

651
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: have to play each other. We mentioned that they have

652
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: to play the NFC West at a division, Uh, there's

653
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,479
Speaker 1: really and they have to go on the West Coast

654
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: a couple of times. They have to play the NFC West,

655
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: which you know mixed, but it has Seattle, Arizona. You

656
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: never really know who is going to be. With all

657
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: due respect to football outsiders, it's entirely useless the schedule

658
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: in April, Yes, it's entirely useless to say who's going

659
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: to have the easiest. They did show there was something

660
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: crazy that three years the easiest schedule had made the

661
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: conference championship, which is great, which seems almost like a coincidence,

662
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: or three out of four years. I look more at

663
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: just like when you have to go on the road,

664
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: and that the Eagles were another team that uh stuck

665
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: out to me that they start with two road games.

666
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: I always you always want to start well. They start

667
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: in Washington and Kansas City, and then they have that

668
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: three game road swing that I mentioned where they're on

669
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: the road three straight week a couple of times, two

670
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: straight on the West coast in December, Like are they

671
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: just gonna stay out here in Los Angeles like that?

672
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: That's a tough way to end the season any other

673
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: Before we move on, Greg, you seem to have studied

674
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: this pretty well. Good job by you. Any oddities anything

675
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: strange about the schedule that jumped out to you, the

676
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: Monday night schedule, Yeah, we did not um hit Monday Night.

677
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: I think the Browns get banged by going to London, Jacksonville,

678
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: Miami Rams. They all have London home games. I mean,

679
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean you made the point before the podcast was

680
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean the problem with the brown schedules they don't

681
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: get to play the Browns, so every division game, well,

682
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: our initial version of this, when they initially sent it out,

683
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: the Browns did play the Browns. They had to make

684
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: a correction to the schedule the Browns actually we're playing

685
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: the Browns. Well it finally it sums up what their

686
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: major opponent is it It is themselves. It is not

687
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: the time they play or the amount of road or

688
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: home games. It is they've got to get over themselves.

689
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 1: Do you think there was some type of the schedule

690
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: makers senting some type of existential type message. That's how

691
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: I took it. I mean, listen, you can tell you

692
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: whether you're you gotta if you're gonna play sixteen games

693
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: at one pm. You better learn to thump eight road

694
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: teams and seven home games and go overseas to London

695
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: and destroy that team and scatter them to Otherwise, you

696
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: don't deserve to be on prime time. I hope I

697
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: live long enough to see them worthy of a prime

698
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: time game. They have never played on Sunday night football

699
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: that I can remember in my life. And then I mean,

700
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna have an untested quarterback whoever it is, and

701
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: you have to start the schedule in Pittsburgh and balt Or.

702
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: No going against Pittsburgh and Baltimore. I mean to be like,

703
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: you try to get a win there. Contested. You know,

704
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: brock As Swailer did lead his team to the playoffs

705
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: last year's let's not count down the untested thing. Guy's

706
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: battle tested and he's got a ring. Anybody forget about

707
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: the old s b ring? I think about it. Yeah,

708
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: not a lot of like tight connection to him in

709
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: the sp ring. Who calls it an s b ring?

710
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: Here was the first it's ever happened the rest of

711
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: the Monday night schedule West. After the first two games,

712
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: we talked about Detroit at Giants, Dallas at Arizona, Washington

713
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: at k C, uh Vikings at Chicago. Who got banged

714
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: on the earliest buys? By the way, nobody likes to

715
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: get the early by It's not good. The earliest round

716
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: byes comes in week five Atlanta, Denver, New Orleans, and

717
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: Washington picking it up. Week six, Monday Night, India, Tennessee. Guys,

718
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: I like that game. Washington at Philly. Week seven, UH

719
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: Denver at k C. The day before Halloween, I called

720
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: Gate Night where I'm from, What did you guys called

721
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: Devil's Night, Damage night? Gate Night? Yeah, we called it

722
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: Gate Night. What do you do? Northeast thing? I don't know.

723
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: I grew up in the Northeast and never heard of it.

724
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: It's a I think it's actually I think we talked

725
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: about this one. What do you do? It's like a

726
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: New York thing. I think like rattling gates and like

727
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: maybe it's like goes the old times where people had

728
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: gates that you would basically throw toilet paper. And I

729
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: don't know people overseas that listened to this. I never

730
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: heard of that. They didn't do it. In New England,

731
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: there was no night before Halloween hijinks like the Bad

732
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: Kids went out. I mean, yeah, there is the night

733
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: before thing. Absolutely yeah. We I think we called it

734
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: Damage Night. I remember Devil's Night or something like that,

735
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: although I don't remember participating in it. Devil's Night feels strong.

736
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: It feels a little bit little bit much is a

737
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: little out there too, Uh. I mean Sunday Night football

738
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: is a better schedule as always. But about Gate Night

739
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 1: here now? Greg? Uh? Week nine Monday Night football, Lions

740
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: at Packers, that's good. Week ten, Dolphins and Panthers. Uh,

741
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: Falcons at Seahawks Week eleven, Texans at Baltimore. Week twelve.

742
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: That Falcon Seahawks game was really good last year. Pittsburgh,

743
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: it's Cincinnati the week thirteen, New England at Miami Week fourteen,

744
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: Atlanta at Tampa Week fifteen, that has potential to be

745
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: a great game. We have see now you're getting into it.

746
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: Then to it Monday night? Is that? That's Christmas Night

747
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: in week sixteen, and then there is no Monday night

748
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: game in week seventeen. So uh, not to be excited

749
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: about any final thoughts before we move on. Not many.

750
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: I thought we did a pretty good job with this,

751
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: pretty comprehensive. Well, it's your your final thoughts, got through it, man,

752
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: You're through it now. You don't have to worry about

753
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: this for another three and sixty four days. My final

754
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: thoughts are, I can't wait until these games actually happen

755
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: in October, November, and December. Fair enough, then we'll have

756
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: some analysis. That's true, very true when you get to

757
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: now go through this entire day of of people trying

758
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: to put analysis on this. Basically the first takers of

759
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: the world declaring that the Cowboys season is over before

760
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 1: it starts. That is all coming to other people. But

761
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're we're not gonna get in that. No.

762
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't really think the order effect like kills you

763
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: too much one way or the other. It's basically just

764
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: the how the how the formula hits you this year,

765
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: which divisions you playing. And we knew all that back

766
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: in January or two years ago. You're the Cowboys. You

767
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: think your schedule looks great, Tony Romo goes down early

768
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: and the whole thing's over anduries like injuries always make

769
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: the schedule analysis useless. That's why you have to Every

770
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: year there's three or four teams that are going to

771
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: be good. The people didn't predict in April, and there's

772
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: three or four teams that are gonna be bad that

773
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: everybody thought was gonna be okay to great and then

774
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: New England wins the super Bowl. So it's the state.

775
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a lifeless drama leading up to

776
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: an obvious conclusion. All right, before we go, this has

777
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: been a big week for the Around the NFL Podcast.

778
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: Of course Wednesday's episode where David and Derek Carr joined

779
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: us and we broke her a piece and that was

780
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 1: tremend this and I guess since we're on a roll,

781
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: and then it's also tremendous the Oakland Raiders, great organization.

782
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: Stack him, stack him. So we worked things out with Derek.

783
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: Maybe we can do that and he's a superstar NFL quarterback. Uh,

784
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: we could check in with another um, well that Derek's

785
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: a future Las Vegas native or resident, might as well

786
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: check in in the desert and uh, this is the

787
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: man on the line now is Chris Westling's Desert Consigliari

788
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: A controversial figure, no doubt, back after a long extended

789
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: hiatus from the Around the NFL Podcast, a hiatus that

790
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: frankly none of us were sure whatever end, but we're

791
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: feeling We're feeling good right now. So back on the

792
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: Round the NFL podcast, Spice rack Uh, thanks for having

793
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: me back, gentleman, Dan, I want to know why exactly

794
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm a controversial figure and Greg I wanna I would

795
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: like to explain the little giggle there. Please giggle about what,

796
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: Spice Track, how do you feel that Greg has replaced

797
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: you as the number one Melvin Gordon fan in the country.

798
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm relieved. Well, let's relieve anybody with any modicum of credibility.

799
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Spice Tracks coming in hot. He's taking

800
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,959
Speaker 1: shots before he's even on the air, so I wasn't

801
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: taking shots. I think Mark Sessler is unbelievably interesting. I've

802
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: known Chris Westling a long time, very interesting guy. Mark

803
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: Sessler's on another level, far more interesting, which is what

804
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: I thought. I appreciate that. On another level, I feel

805
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: like you're trying to use me as sort of leverage

806
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: or a pond to create dissension in the room. That's

807
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: what's happening. Let's be honest, and this there's a reason

808
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: why in terms of background, if you are incorrect, that's incorrect. Dan.

809
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to interrupt. Mark that's incorrect. In fact, I

810
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: am a I fear you. I fear you. Well, that

811
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: makes makes four of us spicy. Before we get into

812
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 1: you playing a character, can we get some information out

813
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: of you? But hang on, hang on, let's let me

814
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: tee this up. Yes, everybody, and Spicy, please don't interrupt me.

815
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. The spice Rack is a

816
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: guy that that has a way. He has the shining

817
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: with watching college prospects. That's what we've been told, that's

818
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: what we were sold on. Uh. He came in hot

819
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: with Melvin Gordon being the next big thing. Didn't quite

820
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: work out in year one for Gordon. He had a

821
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: nice bounce back year last year. Uh, And we promised

822
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: spice Rack he could come back on the show if

823
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: Gordon ran for a thousand yards. He didn't quite get

824
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: there before going down with the season ending injury. How

825
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: how angry were you by the way, spice Rack when

826
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: that happened. It was a roller coaster fell us. I

827
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it was hilarious. It's amazing, you know, but

828
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: it was first awful because Gordon is a running back.

829
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: I do love watching and and Root four now for

830
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: or even the different reasons than before. Uh so awful

831
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 1: obviously that he went down, but it was a roller coaster,

832
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: it was hilarious. And then uh, I took a shot

833
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: at mr F bad idea that didn't go well. Yeah,

834
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: would you like to make a formal apology to Mr

835
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 1: F now that you're on the Around the NFL podcast.

836
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's listening. Mimisr F being the guy that

837
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: he is, the stand up gentlemen. He reached out to

838
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: me privately and we uh we hashed it out. It

839
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 1: sounds like Mr F. And and in your defense, Melvin Gordon,

840
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: at the moment of that injury, he was literally number

841
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: three in the NFL in yards from scrimmage. Only David

842
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: Johnson and Ezekiel Elliott were ahead of Melvin Gordon at

843
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: the moment. So you you ultimately were vindicated. He was

844
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: a very good, top ten productive running backlas Seas. And

845
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: that's part of the problem here, is because Melvin Gordon,

846
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: essentially spice Rack was vindicated on that. Now that was

847
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: his prediction of who's going to be big two years ago.

848
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: Last year when we had him on the show. We

849
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: could be right now potentially talking about who spice Rack

850
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: was big on last year, but it never happened, and

851
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: just by way of going down memory lane, we got

852
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: more less breakdown of people that spice Rack wanted and

853
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,479
Speaker 1: more this. You know what you're doing. You're filibustering because

854
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: you lost your confidence because of what happened with Melvin Gordon.

855
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 1: Isn't that what it is? Yes? Or no? I see

856
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: what you're doing, hands manipulator. You're baiting me into picking

857
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, Miles Jack or something like that. Us were

858
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: baiting you into content and because your show is full

859
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: of content. I mean that's the one thing I will say,

860
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: spice Rack, maybe was you know right Church wrong? Few there?

861
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: We We have plenty of content, not not all of

862
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: it's good. But spice Rack, now you're your feelings a

863
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: year later. We want to move past that, and we

864
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: would love to hear from you, uh, spice Rack, about

865
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: who you're high on with the draft now one week away.

866
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: A lot of pressure right now, you're saying this is it?

867
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: This is that, this is the moment that you've been

868
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: waiting for to have the platform. Hundreds of thousands of

869
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: listeners all over the world right now want to hear

870
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: what Brad Bradley Allen Spicer at Spice Rack m d

871
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: on on Twitter. They want to know what you are

872
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: excited about in this draft? Who are your top draft prospects? Well,

873
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: I do have a lot to say about Christian McCaffrey.

874
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: I feel like he's blown up quite a bit, or

875
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: I should say even more the last two or three weeks, um.

876
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 1: But I do want to look at the safety position.

877
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: So the previous generation featured two of the most unique

878
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: safeties and Troy Paula Mallo and Ed Reid. They were

879
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: somehow it was a rivalry. They were in the same division,

880
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: but they as great as they were. They they each

881
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: had different styles. And when I look at uh Malie

882
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: Cooker of Ohio stage mal Adams l s U but

883
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: Hooker sort of at Reid, I'll tell you right now

884
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: is my favorite defensive football player ever, period, game changer, athletic,

885
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: could return punts and a pinch. Malie Cooker kind of

886
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: reminds me of him, you know, like potentially you can't

887
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: you can't really put labels on something like that. But

888
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams is definitely more the stalker at the line

889
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, the moving chess piece that Paula mall. It

890
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: was rely on instincts and just sort of be a

891
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: j y D within the first five yards of line

892
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. But j D what does that stand for?

893
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: Junkyard dog? Baby, I'll have w w F references all day.

894
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: Then if thump thump for people that maybe what what

895
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: makes a safety or somebody playing up near the line

896
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: of junkyard dog? What does that mean? Uh? No, I'm

897
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: just the overall tenacity. Just think really it's just a

898
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: fun expression, amen, brother. But Troy Polamalos sort of uh,

899
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: or I should say Jamal Adams. When you watch him play,

900
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: you can sort of see him creeping up towards the

901
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage near the snap and then I'll um

902
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: go from one hash to the other. Take a guy

903
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: down the line of scrimmage and uh, but you know,

904
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: those instincts are rare. So these both those players you

905
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: believe to be kind of game changing talents potential, not

906
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: Ed Reid because there's only one Ed Read. But in

907
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: terms of a guy that excites you at the safety position,

908
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: you're pumped up about both of them. I mean they

909
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: could go. They could both go very early top six. Uh.

910
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: It looks like and I said, you know, Jamal Adams.

911
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: I feel I could maybe slip just because coverage is

912
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: everything as it should be, But I feel like there's

913
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: still a place for a guy who can, you know,

914
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: just sort of um, you know, lockdown that middle of

915
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: the fields sort and also you know, run to the

916
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: to the side east sideline and takedown ball carrier like

917
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: Landing Collins. Yeah, something like that. And he's definitely a hitter.

918
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he's definitely a hitter. He wants to take

919
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: someone's head off. And I mean back to the Zerline

920
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: who we had in here yesterday. In his latest mock draft,

921
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 1: he has Jamal Adams going to the Jets at six

922
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: and then followed immediately by the Chargers taking Leek Hooker

923
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: at seven. Uh so these are highly touted safeties And okay,

924
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: that was good, I thought. I thought, that's Spicy in

925
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: a big spot there, delivered sound analysis on two of

926
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: the top defenders in this class. What else he got?

927
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, how about on the other side of the ball, Hey, Spicy,

928
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: if you have an area of like expertise, it's got

929
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: to be Ohio State, right, Yes, So who are you

930
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: big on with Ohio State? Well, I just gave him

931
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: Aliek Cooker. I mean seeing him chase down balls from

932
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: going from the middle of the field fifty yards down

933
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: the sideline is it's impressed. I mean again, he's not

934
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna be ed Reid, but uh that's the guy. He

935
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,959
Speaker 1: he reminds me of I see like ultimate ceiling something

936
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: like that. What about Marshall and Latimore? Uh well, so

937
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,720
Speaker 1: here's the deal. I mean, yeah, he's great Urban Myers

938
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: recruited like a maniac for the last three or four years.

939
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: But settle down, puppy. Is that somebody someone in the trunk?

940
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 1: Did you just be honest? That was my four pound

941
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: chuahwa who I let lick me all over? Isolate that? Yeah,

942
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: save that for a sound draft. Did you step on

943
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: him or something? She'll bark at anything. She'll bark at

944
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 1: her own shadow brother. Anyway, back back to level Gary, okay,

945
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: as far as uh Gary on Connley is the corner

946
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: from Ohio State that stood out to me most interesting. Look,

947
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: he just looked the part. Didn't start a bunch of games.

948
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: But he reminded me when he first got in there

949
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: of you know, Bradley Roby or Eli Apple, And I

950
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: felt like he was a little ahead of both, And

951
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: I like both of those guys, and I think you

952
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,919
Speaker 1: know they've proven to be good players to Apple only

953
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: one year. But Gary on Connley late first, maybe I

954
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: like a lot from Ohio State. And you brought up

955
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: Christian mccaffrety running back out of Stanford. Is he potentially

956
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 1: your new Melvin Gordon? Do you believe highly? And Christian

957
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: McCaffrey coming into the league and making an immediate impact

958
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: the way you believed Melvin Gordon would, Uh, well, he's

959
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: He's definitely more complete the Melvin Gordon. The weird thing

960
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: about Gordon was that I thought for sure he would

961
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: lead the league and fifty plus yard runs and I

962
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: don't think he has one in his you know, short career,

963
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: which is shocked a lot of big, big plays. Last

964
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: year he had a couple, at least you had a lot,

965
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: yet plays he didn't. He didn't spring that next level. Yeah,

966
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: tough to project McCaffrey doing that, but you know, he

967
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: ripped off a lot of wrong runs. I mean, his

968
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: instincts are fantastic, unbelievable punt returner, no doubt about it.

969
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: Could be a great slot receiver had he shows in

970
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: that route. He's gonna They're gonna put him in the

971
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 1: slot quite a bit in the NFL. Crazy not he's

972
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: so complete, he's so he is, he's bustproof. His frame

973
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: is you know, he's a little small, but he has

974
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,919
Speaker 1: come pact. He's not gonna get broken in half. Bee Bush,

975
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: I felt like had the the uh frame to get

976
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: broken in half. So do you feel like he's got

977
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: a much higher ceiling than than Reggie Bush as an

978
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: NFL player. Hindsight is easy because I remember what I

979
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: thought of Bush coming out. But I think McCaffrey is

980
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: uh better on the third and one run. Not that

981
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: he'll be doing it much, but you know, you see

982
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 1: guys like Geo Bernard fantastic and short yardage. Stealing those

983
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: easy one two yards is putting your head down with

984
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: strong legs. McCaffrey has that Bush didn't. And just soaking

985
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: this in. It's great knowledge, Spicy. We know you're a

986
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: big Sam Donald fan and that understatement, that's an understand Wow.

987
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: And Dan is invested in scam for Sam this year.

988
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: It's worth it. It's worth it. Tell me, why tell

989
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: me why USC's coach was getting fired Clay Helton his

990
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: first year they started another guy over Donald. Uh. The

991
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: Mighty Trojans were lifeless. Uh. They they had nothing through

992
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: about four games. Within one possession of Sam Donald's first start,

993
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: everything changed. They were the second best team of the

994
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: country from that point on. They lost their opener to

995
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: Utah around the table after that. Uh you you Uh.

996
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: Some guys they give off a certain you sometimes it's

997
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: it's so easy to see and much harder to describe

998
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: if you will it. So he's got he's got the

999
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: it factor one million percent and that's got goose bump.

1000
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I like how you're the Jets are

1001
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna scam for him, like they need to play lesser

1002
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: than their ability. Cleveland just do what it does and

1003
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: get Sam. Ain't going up. I'm coming to that, but

1004
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm not staying there long once I get Sammy. And

1005
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: just comparing him, comparing Donald to other quarterback prospects of

1006
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: the last you know, five or six years, Like where

1007
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: would you rank where would you rank him? Do you

1008
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a better prospect? Or similar to

1009
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 1: how Andrew Luck was looked at coming out. He's he's

1010
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: more polished than Luck, more polished, more is a thrower,

1011
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: more refined, more refined. I don't know if he's as

1012
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 1: sharp as Luck. Luck. Luck kind of a nerd, you know,

1013
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: in a great way, in a great way. But but

1014
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: Dogg's more smooth, I mean, way more smooth. I mean

1015
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 1: he's the coolest guy in the room everywhere he's been.

1016
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: I think he's a little more charismatic than Luck that way.

1017
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: Look wins off just by being such a hard work

1018
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: and sort of like in a goofy way charismatic but

1019
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: not you know, not sort of like owning the room

1020
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: presence wise. But uh yeah, Donalds a more natural pastor

1021
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: I believe, looks a much better athlete um running. But

1022
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: Donald's a hell of an athlete too. He was a

1023
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: great high school basketball player, could have gone packed twelve. Well,

1024
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm very excited hopefully things work out with a nice

1025
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: two and fourteen season. All right, before you go spicy

1026
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: and again the bus proof Christian McCafferty, Jamal Adams, and

1027
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: Malik Cooker, I'm sorry to interrupting. It's McCaffrey. No tea

1028
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: in his last name. Come on, okay, sorry, McCaffrey dad

1029
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: son Evan McCaffrey. We know I didn't until him right now,

1030
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: that's good. McCaffrey was blood great player, Christian and Caffrey,

1031
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,919
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, w leaue hooker. Who's the corner you liked?

1032
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: Gary and Conley? There you go, Andy, Do we need

1033
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: like one kind of fantasy receiver or running back that's

1034
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 1: maybe not a top ten fift pick. You just give

1035
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: us a name. And this is a guy you're pounding

1036
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: the table that we're tracking, so that we know if

1037
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: the spice rack is on top of things. It has

1038
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: to be a receiver or running back, some someone fantasy

1039
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: you know that you can file or a tight end

1040
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: I guess, but well you might not want to hear it,

1041
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: but it's Joe Mixon eating rusher somaj per Hin n

1042
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: C double a single game all time rusher or single

1043
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: game rusher sma j Perrhin when Joe Mixon left the

1044
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: field for p Ryan to get on it. From a

1045
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: gambler's perspective, you're betting against it. You were relieved, mixing

1046
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: stud You never knows, not banging the table for him.

1047
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't if I were in the room. But he's

1048
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: a monster. Well done spice rack and in in thirty

1049
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: seconds or less. Uh by way of your your exit

1050
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: from today's show, can you explain or give your opinion

1051
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: on whether the Raiders in Las Vegas will work? It

1052
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: will work. I can't believe it ever made it here

1053
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: because not because of the gambling element, because of the

1054
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: temptation element. It's NonStop, it's constant. They're slicksters everywhere. And

1055
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't worry about a posing teams as much because

1056
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: they'll be watched closely the home team. I don't. I don't.

1057
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm happy it's here. This is the city

1058
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: I live. I don't. I don't think it's the greatest

1059
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: idea in the world. Hmm. Interesting. How are you dealing

1060
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: with the temptations? I'm doing great, Greg, doing great? Thanks?

1061
00:57:55,640 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: How are you doing well? Thanks? Alright, spicy? Greg? No, Greg,

1062
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: I need to hear you say Titan or Manhattan something

1063
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: with the tea in it. What's going on Manhattan? No

1064
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: say it? Drop the teeth, drop the teeth? All right, Spicy,

1065
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: Thank you very much? All right, Great, let's it. He's gone.

1066
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: He gone. That was good. That was a nice I

1067
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: thought he did a great job. I mean, you talk

1068
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: about where we had set the bar and what he delivered.

1069
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: He delivered today He clearly did his homework. He gets

1070
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: so jacked up, he gets so well, he cares about it.

1071
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, by the way I think he's with the safeties.

1072
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: You hear more and more about the safeties. We even

1073
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: talked about him at all at all. He brought good

1074
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: stuff there that we haven't talked a lot, a lot

1075
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: of things. Dropping the bold statements too. I like it.

1076
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: He came strong, he said Christian McCaffrey, Sam Donald bust

1077
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: proof Christian McCaffrey. That's what I'm going to hold him to. Um.

1078
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: All right, you're feeling that you're feeling what we're feeling,

1079
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: or you're not feeling. No, I'm with you. I mean

1080
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: he he showed a certain level of of guts and

1081
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: sticking to himself in the way that he was correcting

1082
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: Dan's pronunciation. It's not a he's not a wallflower. No.

1083
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: I thought he did. He did, he did well, and

1084
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: he was prepared, which is good to see. And UH

1085
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: didn't have a total psychotic break this time. So I

1086
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: thought it was a nice a nice appearance. I have

1087
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: a question for you, David. When you had your experience

1088
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: with Spice Rack in Vegas, you got shared a day

1089
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: together was he the same personality wise in person as

1090
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: he is on our show. Uh, maybe a little bit

1091
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: more manic on the phone, but I don't think a

1092
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 1: lot more low key in person. I think maybe it's

1093
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: more because um, I was on his turf, Whereas when

1094
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: he's on the phone and he's trying to make an impact,

1095
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: I think maybe you got a little over excited. But

1096
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: this time I think he did a nice job braining

1097
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: in it. Well. You also something happened between the two

1098
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: of you in Vegas that you you refused to reveal

1099
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: to us. Maybe you don't even know at this point

1100
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: what it was, but clear stuff that we had nothing

1101
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: but a great time together. That that is the truth.

1102
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: That is the true story, and I'm sticking to it.

1103
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: You stick to that, and this is hiding something. Um

1104
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: we will be back on Tuesday. Oh by the way,

1105
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: before I do that, I should, in fact, I must

1106
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: hit you guys up. I just had spicy on little

1107
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: draft backs. Time Now for draft packs, driven, I said,

1108
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: driven by Hundai. Don't you don't walk, hun day, you

1109
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: don't you don't jog, you drive? And here's some draft packs.

1110
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: You want some draft packs? Are you ready? Please? Here

1111
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: we go I'm gonna take you all the way back

1112
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: in the time machine the two thousand five NFL Draft.

1113
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: Did you know that with the two pick in the

1114
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: sixth round, the Baltimore Ravens, My god, they took a

1115
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 1: quarterback who was still active in league. Don't look of

1116
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: my monitor, Greg what year two thousand and five? Okay?

1117
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: Active backup quarterback has some history with your Cleveland Browns,

1118
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: Mark Anderson. Derek Anderson was the twick of the two

1119
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: thousand five NFL draft, and that was draft backs driven

1120
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: by Hyundai out of Oregon State. Wasn't he the quarterback

1121
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: there right before Matt Moore great career? Remember Phil Savage

1122
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: was in Baltimore and had something to do with drafting

1123
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson then came over to Cleveland as their GM

1124
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: and helped organize the Week two I mean, they had him,

1125
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: but they elevated him in Week two after what's his

1126
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: name in Cleveland melted down against Pittsburgh in Week one

1127
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: and they traded with the Raiders. Now, I mean, that's

1128
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: a tough thing about being a quarterback. You know, if

1129
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: you're a sixth round safety who like made a Pro

1130
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: Bowl and got one big contract and you're still playing

1131
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: after twelve years. That is an A plus plus career.

1132
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: And yet if you bring up Derrick Anderson's name, people

1133
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: you know make little jokes. Well, stick by this. Had

1134
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: they just kept until now, they'd be better than they

1135
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: are right now. Just keep them the whole time instead

1136
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: schmos they've had since. Yeah, I would have saved a

1137
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 1: lot of up and downs or mostly downs anyway. So

1138
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: there you go. Draft backs, gotta love them. We'll be back,

1139
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: I believe Monday or Tuesday we'll be back. We have

1140
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,439
Speaker 1: three shows next week, and know that that is draft week,

1141
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: so we'll have an early show on Monday or Tuesday.

1142
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 1: Then Draft night, the end of round one, we will

1143
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: immediately go from the news room to the podcast studio

1144
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: and record our recap of the first night of the

1145
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: NFL Draft, and then after the draft draft finished Round seven,

1146
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 1: the moment Round seven wraps up and Mr Irrelevant is picked,

1147
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: we'll head to the studio and record a full draft

1148
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: recap on Saturday nights. So you're gonna get a little

1149
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: different schedule roll out, but you're getting three shows, including

1150
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: two shows that are immediately recorded after draft, which it

1151
01:02:56,560 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: just doesn't happening any other any other podcast that traffic

1152
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL is a joke, all right, going Trump

1153
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: on us here in this specific realm, just in the

1154
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: fact that we just get up there. We are completest.

1155
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: That's what we do. Well to you on Monday to

1156
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: the draft. Then we'll do a recap. No, no, no,

1157
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: we're doing immediately after the draft. Don't hit me with

1158
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: a Trump Greg, get on the home team. Come on,

1159
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: fair analysis by you, Dan, not the Trump stuff, but

1160
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: that we will be after the draft. I didn't mean

1161
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: it in I guess you can only take because I

1162
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: know you've got boys that have competing podcasts and stuff.

1163
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: Was not in my mind. You just like any other podcast.

1164
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: They're a joke. I like it. Sad, sad podcast everywhere.
