Speaker 1: fired up to talk some football. Just watch Tiger Woods

14
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: press record. But we're talking football here because Tiger's kind

15
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: of struggling. But I do have some thoughts actually that

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: relate to football. A lot going on. Here's the schedule.

17
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna include the mailbag just on this podcast. I

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: don't think this podcast is gonna be that long. As

19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: we go into another summer weekend, most people kind of

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: I will have a golo podcast reacting to the open

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: out on Monday. I talked this week to Andrew Whitworth.

Speaker 1: We will do that on Tuesday, and then Cam Hayward

00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: content going. I'm gonna need you guys for the mailbag

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,520

00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: any question you want. It's the easiest way to get

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: a hold of me for the show and get your

33
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: question answered. It's how we interact. It's our version of callers,

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: because ultimately this is your show. Without you, I couldn't

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: do this. You know, this wouldn't this thing would not exist.

36
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: But I appreciate everyone that listens. If you listen to

37
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Collins Feed, subscribe to my feed, share with your friends,

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: you guys know the drill. Again. Greatly appreciate everyone that

39
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: listens the shares with their friends, talks about the podcast

40
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: enjoys listening to the podcast. I wanted to dive into something.

41
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: Actually I just witnessed and listen Tiger Woods a shot.

42
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: It's over. He's never gonna win a major golf tournament again.

43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: He's a shell of himself of the version that we

44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: saw in like eighteen and nineteen that won the Masters.

45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: It's never gonna happen. The car accident changed his life,

46
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: you know. Luckily he kept his life, but it's over.

47
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: Without it being over, I mean, he's still be able

48
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: to show up, and I love him showing up. I

49
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: love talking about him. I love watching a guy play

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: and shoot seventy eight. I don't care, I can't enjoy it.

51
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: But I was thinking today watching a guy who is

52
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: worth a billion dollars, who has more accolades than anyone

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: in his sport except one other guy, who's one of

54
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: the most accomplished athletes in his individual sport in the

55
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: history of competitive athletics. And you can argue with golf,

56
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: but include racing, include tennis, included. All I respect and

57
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: admire so much in people that just refused to quit

58
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: and just have a grinder's mentality. And I'll never forget

59
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: I did the Raiders post game for a couple of

60
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: years back when Peyton Manning was with the Denver Broncos.

61
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: And if you remember the last season that he played

62
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL, it was over all of a sudden,

63
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: he couldn't throw. It was a disaster. Remember he got

64
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: benched in the middle of the season, but somehow he

65
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: willed himself. Now, obviously they had a really good defense.

66
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: But if you remember, he led touchdown drives against the

67
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. I remember

68
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl. I mean, it might be

69
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: one of the only Super Bowls I ever go to.

70
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: I honestly don't have that much desire to attend the

71
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I had tickets. My cousin Kenny work in

72
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: the beer business. Corpse Light. It was sweet, it was

73
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: cool at Levi Stadium, Broncos Panthers. I had a lot

74
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: of money on the Broncos. Peyton couldn't throw it. From

75
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: me to you, he was done. But he just had

76
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: so much, just guts and heart and just a mind

77
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: and just a will. He had no business he probably

78
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: even playing in the game, but he led a couple

79
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: of early touchdown drives. Obviously, Von Miller made some things happen.

80
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: They win the game. I have nothing but respect. And

81
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: this is ultimately, in the scouting world, what you're looking for,

82
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: how bad do guys want it? And Peyton Manning's an example.

83
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: At the time, Peyton Manning had more money than God.

84
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: At the time, he was already a super Bowl champion.

85
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: He wasn't gonna tap out. Tigers were a billion dollars.

86
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: He has a fake leg. He refuses to tap out. Listen,

87
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: I love the guy. I thought he was a fantastic player.

88
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: What he did with the shitty Colts, he was remarkable.

89
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: But Andrew Luck was like, yeah, I'm over it. Left.

90
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily blame him. I'd get bored with the

91
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: rehab two. You don't even get bored of the rehab.

92
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: Tiger paid Manning a lot of guys. Tom Brady refuses

93
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: to retire. So ultimately, what you look for in players,

94
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: and it's harder now than ever. The money's crazy is like,

95
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: do you love the sport with like every inch of

96
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: your core does competing and playing whether you have it,

97
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: it's easy when things are going good. It's easy in

98
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: the NFL when you're on a thirteen win team, if

99
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: you're a golfer and you're shooting under par every round.

100
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: If you're a tennis player and you're competing in Wimbledon

101
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: in the finals, right, just if you're an F one

102
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: racer and you win a race, how do you do

103
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: when you suck? How do you do when you get

104
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: bounced in the first round? How do you do when

105
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: you get cut? Well, what happens in baseball when you

106
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: go three straight weeks you don't have a hit. You know, ultimately,

107
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: to play at the highest level, to compete at the

108
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: highest level, you actually got to kind of love the

109
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: adversity as much as the you know, the high end

110
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: of the success. For a lot of guys, the success. Funny,

111
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: when I was interviewing Cam Heyward earlier this week, you'll

112
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: hear that next week is what's crazy is like, Cam's

113
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: a good example, played at Ohio State. When you played

114
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State at Alabama Georgia, USC's a bad example. But

115
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: most of the big programs you win a lot and

116
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: then you go to the NFL. It's like you could

117
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: easily just go to the Jacks. You could just go

118
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: to a team that the Bears. You just go to

119
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: a team that you're not gonna win, Cam, I like it.

120
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: You got went to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's never lost.

121
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: Even his worst season, they're eight and eight. All he

122
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: does is win. Yet you feel pretty good like he's

123
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: a bad example in the sense of like, I have

124
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence he can handle the shitty parts. Right.

125
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: Certain guys you feel pretty good about, but you don't

126
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: really know. It's actually why you feel pretty good about

127
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: guys that play really hard on bad teams. I remember

128
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: when we scouted Nick Foles. One thing that like coach

129
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: Reid really liked about Nick was that his team sucked.

130
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: I think his coach got fired in the middle of

131
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: the season, but late in games and blots, he was

132
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: still trying really hard on like a four or five

133
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: win team. Maybe they went maybe they went six and six,

134
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: but they weren't good. When you watch some of these

135
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: guys in Alabama, like, god, they got it pretty good.

136
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Now you obviously some of the guys are so talented

137
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But not everyone is the elite of

138
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: the elite. Not everyone's Aaron Donald. Most guys, you know,

139
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: you have to overcome with the intangible stuff, and usually

140
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: the intangible stuff in sports when things are going bad,

141
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: you gotta like it. And I would say that this

142
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: translates some most things in life. So I so many

143
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: successful people to tell you do what you love to do,

144
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: because life's not always gonna go smoothly. And when things

145
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: aren't going smoothly, if you really are passionate and it

146
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: means a lot to you, you'll keep battling through. Golf

147
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: means everything to Tiger Woods, not the billion dollars he's worth,

148
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: not all the previous champ. That's the other thing. Just

149
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: because you get success in the past, Well, we live

150
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: in the real time. I see this whole lot with

151
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: the San Frasco giants, like social media fans, it's like

152
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: you should be grateful for twenty two, twelve and twenty fourteen.

153
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: Losers think like that twenty two. I want to win

154
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: a world series now? Why why can't compete now? Like

155
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: what happened in two thousands? I had a hair in

156
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: two thousand and ten, I'm bald now. In twenty ten

157
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: I was twenty five years old. I'm now thirty seven.

158
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Life changes. I don't have much in common and there's

159
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: a difference with family, and I'm not against like big

160
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: things happen in your life. You know, it's like, hey,

161
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: I worked in the NFL, but like No. Twenty twenty two,

162
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing now? Right? Hey, I you

163
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: know I used to work for Goldman Sachs. Well you're

164
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: working at the Safeway counter now, you know? Like that

165
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: that was eight years ago. So those type people when

166
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: you love it, and this is the scouting when you're

167
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: picking these players, Like I see what the Niners with Debo.

168
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: Debo played on terrible teams at South Carolina, but it

169
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: was pretty clear when he was healthy, even at South Carolina,

170
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: very very competitive, and I'm just using him as example.

171
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: You could use it with a ton of players in

172
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: the league. And I think it's why people are so

173
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: consumed with the passion for the sport, the love of

174
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: the sport, and honestly, the little balance of that when

175
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: it comes to drafting guys like, ultimately football meant more

176
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: to Peyton Manning, to Tom Brady than everything you can question,

177
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: Like doesn't mean everything to Aaron Rodgers, You know, I

178
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: think it means a lot. Clearly, I don't think that's

179
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: the reason they've lost the playoff games, but I get

180
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: the argument, like it means a shitload to Patrick Mahomes

181
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: watches it means everything to Aaron Donald, and I've watched

182
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa play like football is the guy's life. I

183
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: like that in my players, you know, I like that

184
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: in my athletes. I like guys that just like Jannis

185
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Anto Dakumpo, you gotta drag that guy off the fucking

186
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: basketball court if you're gonna beat him, Like that's what

187
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: we want. So even Tiger Wood shooting seventy eight, he

188
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: grinded his ever loving ass off with one leg. He's

189
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: got one leg, his other leg's fake. It's a created leg,

190
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: and he's still out there doing it when he doesn't

191
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: need to be doing this at all. But like Peyton,

192
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: like Tom Still, it's like they love it. And when

193
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: those guys love it, we as fans and definitely front offices,

194
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: gravitate toward those individuals. The baseball season is here. This

226
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: this makes me very happy. And I know a lot

227
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: of the you know, the streaming, the anti streaming people

228
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: are like, I hate streaming, do not put it on

229
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: a streaming service. It's like, guys, this isn't twenty twelve.

230
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: Like I watched Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max. I was

231
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: at the gym today, I was streaming Peacock on my iPad,

232
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: like get with the times. It's it's just as clear

233
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: as television, like the cable television. It's not gonna exist

234
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: in five ten years. So when I saw that Apple

235
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: is going to get the Sunday Ticket, I wanted to

236
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: do cartwheels down the hallway because one for me personally,

237
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: I've never had direct TV since I left my family's

238
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: house and like two thousand and three to go to college.

239
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: I've not had direct TV since. And obviously direct TV

240
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: has had the Sunday ticket forever, and a lot of

241
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: people are like, you don't have the Sunday ticket, Mike, Well,

242
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: I get a Thursday night game. I get multiple Sunday games.

243
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: I watched the Niner game. I get the Sunday night game,

244
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: and then I get the Monday game. I also have

245
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: the NFL whatever it's called, game Pass, so any game

246
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: that I want to watch, I can always go back

247
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: and watch it. I don't have seventeen TVs, and even

248
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: if you did, you can't watch everything. You as someone

249
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: with two TVs in their living room, you really two

250
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: is hard, you know, you really end up focusing on

251
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: one game. It's easier to go one game and red

252
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: zone than it is to truly watch two games. If

253
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: you're doing that, you're either Bill Belichick or you're lying.

254
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: But somebody taken getting like, think about the great migration

255
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: that's happened in society, all these people that live in cities,

256
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: that have moved from San Francisco, that have moved from

257
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: New York, that have moved from Chicago to smaller towns,

258
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: they're still forty nine or fans still New York Giants,

259
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Jets fans, and still Bears fans. Think how much easier

260
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: it is now for them to consume their team. You

261
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: just you have Apple Plus. I have it on all

262
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: my smart TV's, and I love the guys like I

263
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: don't have Apple Plus. We'll get it. If you ever

264
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: heard of Apple, They're kind of a big deal if

265
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: you have a television. The one thing I would say

266
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: that over time is even now inflation has hit everything,

267
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: TVs are still pretty cheap. You ever walk into a Target,

268
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: it's like a sixty five inch TV for like five

269
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. I've had the same Visio TVs in my

270
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: living room that I got a Target, a sixty five

271
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: and a fifty for a combined like twelve hundred dollars.

272
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: So and those they're actually outdated. I could easily upgrade

273
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: and it's not even that expensive, So you have no

274
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: excuse if you want to watch your team, and obviously

275
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: you can your computer and your iPads. I think it's

276
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: fantastic for the consumer, and whatever's best for the consumer

277
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: and easiest for the consumer is best for the league.

278
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: Now the games are still going to be on CBS, ABC, NBC, whatever,

279
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: but having the ability to be out of market. Like

280
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: if I moved to Arizona and I'm gonna want to

281
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: watch the Niner game, well, I can just get out

282
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: of plus three hundred dollars a year. Boom, I got

283
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: the Niner game. I don't want to get direct TV

284
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: why because I'm not gonna get any of these. I'm

285
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: just gonna have like YouTube TV now or Hulu TV

286
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: or whatever. My whole life is going to be streaming,

287
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: so is yours. That's inevitable. That's where we're going. Now.

288
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: Is it a perfect world? Do we end up playing

289
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: for eight million streamers? Yes? I realize I've been. If

290
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: you add it up, I mean, my cable bill alone

291
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: because I gotta get the best Internet is like two

292
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty dollars. That's just for cable. Then I

293
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: literally pay for every streaming service except Peacock because that

294
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: comes with Comcast. But like when I move, or even

295
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: if I were to kind of rent this out at

296
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: Airbnb and come back like, I think I would just

297
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: do all Internet TV. I wouldn't do the Comcast It's

298
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: not necessarily needed. I do like the ease of knowing

299
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: it's going to be there. But still, man, I think

300
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: that this is a no brainer. It's a big win

301
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: for all of us. I know I'm biased. I can't

302
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: wait hopefully this becomes official, but this feels like it

303
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: was inevitable. The other thing is is what the economy

304
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: kind of taking a turn? Like even Amazon and Apple

305
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: like their stocks are down. So the NFL historically over

306
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: the last twenty years has gotten everything they've wanted with

307
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: rights deals rightfully, so their games are the most watch

308
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: things on television. This might be the first time where

309
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: they again are going to get a lot of money.

310
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: But I wonder if they're going to get a little

311
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: less than they asked for for the first time in

312
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: a long time. One who's bidding for this at the

313
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: numbers in which they're gonna ask a couple of billion

314
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: dollars a year? If Apple went, let's just pick a number,

315
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: they want two billion dollars for the package. If Apple

316
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: offers one six who else is offering? Amazon already bought

317
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football it's not like they're gonna do Thursday

318
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: Night and the package so CBS is not Direct TV's

319
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: out like I do think for the first time in

320
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: a while. And this is why I think the NBA

321
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: is so arrogance, Like their salary cap only goes up

322
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: and up and up. Are we sure? Are we sure?

323
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: The ratings have been going down and down and down.

324
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: And now if the economy gets weird for a year

325
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: or two with the tech companies, they're just a lock

326
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: to pay more than they got for their last deal,

327
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: which was enormous. I don't know. I'm not saying that's

328
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: gonna happen, because live rights are very valuable. People want that.

329
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: But it's like this stuff, like the economy does kind

330
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: of matter, you know, because it impacts the companies that

331
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: ultimately pay for this stuff because the amount of us

332
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: that watch it, and I do think that it would

333
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: be big for you know a lot of people would

334
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: just get it immediately that live all over the place

335
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: and would easily stream it, and it would be it

336
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: would be fantastic. I'm rooting for it. Another story I

337
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: saw Adam Schefter the Big Jay's love to act like

338
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: you know you just you work sources, you organically build them.

339
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: And the one thing I've always respected about Schefter and

340
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: I throw woes in this too, is a lot of

341
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: reporters kind of make their hay or become big because

342
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: they know agents and they only push the players side,

343
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: like they only get their information from agents. To me,

344
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: if you don't get your information from coaches gms, like

345
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't take you as seriously. And there is no

346
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: chance that Adam Schefter doesn't have every head coach, every

347
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: general manager, and multiple executives on every team in his

348
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: role of dex He knows everybody. I remember when I

349
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: first got my job at Philly, Adam Schefter used to

350
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: call the office. I'll promise you this. He doesn't call

351
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: the office anymore now we have known each other a

352
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: long time, right, he knows because he knows all these

353
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: guys for a long time and he builds and works relationships.

354
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: And that's listen. At the end of the day, Adam

355
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: is a sales guy. He has to sell himself to

356
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: get to know guys, to get their information than to

357
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: use so he can break news. That's the business he's in. Well,

358
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: there was a story that he used, like who would

359
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: send these people gifts. I think up to sixteen thousand

360
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: dollars worth of chocolate one year that he sent out

361
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: to all the different general managers, probably head coaches, maybe ocs, DC's,

362
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: and assistant gms that give him stories as basically a

363
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: thank you. And I saw on the interweb that journals,

364
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, kind of got a little offended, like this

365
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 1: is not how we rule, this is not what we

366
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: do well. Adam makes ten million dollars a year for

367
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: a reason. What he brings to the table is extremely valuable.

368
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: And anyone that's listening to this in business, what do

369
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: you do to your clients? I don't know, you take

370
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: care of them. On my other podcast last year, when

371
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers traded for Trey Lance, Now, I'm

372
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: not a journalist, don't pretend to be one. Hell, I

373
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: don't even like what people call me a media member.

374
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't consider myself one. Trey Lance was traded for

375
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: our podcast doubled in listenership immediately that it was one

376
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: of the best things that's ever happened to our business,

377
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: and we had a fantastic year financially because of it.

378
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: Before maybe after the draft. We sent Wine to basically

379
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: John Lynch Kyle Shanahan, Parague and Adam Peters. It was

380
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: obviously they didn't do the trade for us, but it

381
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: was just like, thank you for making us a lot

382
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: of money. And I've learned that from my friends that

383
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: don't work in this industry, that just work in other industries,

384
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: that are constantly taking care of the people that take

385
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: care of them, whether it's directly or indirectly. That's how

386
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: the real world works. Maybe if more of these big

387
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: jays that spend all their time on Twitter did some

388
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: of this stuff that Adam Schefter did, maybe they'd make

389
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more money. Maybe they wouldn't be miserable

390
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: all day, maybe they would be thriving. So Adam makes

391
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year for a reason because of

392
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: those people. His value is breaking news and he can't

393
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: break it without them. Ultimately, he's just in his own

394
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: little world as a businessman, and he's a lead at it.

395
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: And I listen, rap sheet is too, And if you

396
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: told me that rap Sheet does similar ship, I wouldn't

397
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: be shocked, because you got to take care of the

398
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: people that take care of you business. One on one.

399
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: A couple just quick topics will fly through. Cliff Kingsbury

400
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: said that he was He said this a while back,

401
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: that he was praying that a deal got done before

402
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray came to training camp. Then Jeff Darlington said,

403
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: it's very reasonable to believe that a deal gets done

404
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: before camp, which is now, you know I'm recording this

405
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: July fourteenth. Let's just pick a date, the twenty eighth.

406
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: Let's say the Cardinals report. That's fourteen days away, and

407
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: honestly they could easily report the twenty fifth or the

408
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: twenty six, so time's taken here. I think it's insane.

409
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: I know he's mad. I know he thinks he deserves

410
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: a big Mahomes Josh Allen deal. I'd pump the brakes

411
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: and we're waiting under no circumstances. And listen the the

412
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: media that's in bed with the agent and the players side,

413
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: and listen. I know his agent and I respect his agent.

414
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: I think he's good. He's actually been on his podcast

415
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: years ago. But he wouldn't be able, and I haven't

416
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: talked to him about this, wouldn't be able to convince

417
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: me that, like I'm sorry, I'm not paying Kyler Murray.

418
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's not valuable. I'm not saying he's

419
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: not a talented player, but it's like, you're under contract

420
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: for five years. I will pay you after the fourth

421
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: if you take us to the playoffs a couple of times.

422
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: Part of your deal is like Josh Allen got paid.

423
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: Why great guy consistently goes to the playoffs, never pouts

424
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: Like Ultimately, we had to sign leaders a year ago

425
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: because we didn't view the client, the player, the quarterback

426
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: as a leader. He had a fantastic year last year

427
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: until he didn't, and he had one of the most

428
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: head scratching playoff performances from a talented player we've ever seen. Honestly,

429
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: it looked he would rather be any Remember Jerry Jones,

430
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: they had they had hard knocks, I think the first time,

431
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, way back in the day, and Jerry gets

432
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: in front of the team and he's just kind of

433
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: flexes as much muscles as a rich guy who goes

434
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: guys guess I could be anywhere in the world, but

435
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm here with you, basically, like I'm so rich. I

436
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: could be in Italy, I could be in the Mediterranean,

437
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: I could be in Spain, I could be in Chile, Hell,

438
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: I could be now in space. With Bezos. But I'm

439
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: here in the heat of Oxnard watching Pads Pop and

440
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: my Cowboys. I love the Cowboys, and it was like

441
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray was the opposite. I have to be here.

442
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: If I could be, I'd be anywhere else in the world,

443
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: but playing quarterback in this playoff game getting my ass

444
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: kicked by the Los Angeles Ramps. So I'm sorry. I

445
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: just need to see more as just an objective guy

446
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: who has been a little wrong on the Cardinals. They've

447
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: been better than I thought. From a financial standpoint, I

448
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: don't see how given him one hundred and fifty million

449
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: dollars right now after three years. Most of these guys

450
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: like Joey Bosa got a contract every four years. Even

451
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa, who has been a much better player in

452
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: a vacuum than Tyler Murray, is like, yeah, I'm gonna

453
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: get paid after this year. So I don't expect them

454
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: to do because they're ultimately their owners a little cheap.

455
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: But maybe they're trying to back him into a corner.

456
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: I would avoid that at all costs. The Pats Belichick,

457
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: you can crush his drafting over the years. He's had

458
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: a lot of misses. He makes some weird picks, and

459
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: part of that he doesn't listen to any of his scouts. Whatever.

460
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: Now he can't. His results speak for themselves, so yeah,

461
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: he's drafted kind of shitty. He wons six super Bowls.

462
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: You know, he made the playoffs last year with Mac

463
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: fucking Jones. Mac Jones, he made the playoffs. There's a

464
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: succeed Now. I got throttled, but he made the playoffs.

465
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: That's pretty impressive. One of his best qualities. His best

466
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: quality is coaching the team. But his quality as a

467
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: general manager and as a personnel guy is how little

468
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: emotion Like he has no emotion toward his picks, so

469
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: many general managers and rightfully so it's a human nature

470
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: Like I picked this guy. I want to see him

471
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: succeed because if he succeeds, it makes me look good.

472
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: In whatever industry you do, any idea you have in business,

473
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: you want to see that thing succeed. So sometimes when

474
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: it's not going well, you're like, let's just stick through it.

475
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: This is gonna work. Why because if it works, you

476
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,239
Speaker 1: get credit. It makes sense. It's not like it's not

477
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: that complicated of a reasoning behind why we do what

478
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: we do and push for things and hold onto things

479
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: relationships too. But Belichick is so unemotional with his draft picks.

480
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: Whether you're a first round pick or a sixth round pick,

481
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: you become a starter for his team, and he doesn't

482
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: think you're good enough, he will get rid of you. Nikkil,

483
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: Harry looking back and listen, I was wrong. I love

484
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: the pick. I thought he was gonna be awesome. It's

485
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: been a disaster, and he just traded him into the Bears. Now.

486
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: The one thing how ruthless Belichick is he'll find the

487
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: one thing he did well. And Nikkil actually could block,

488
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: and he used him to block. Remember, he's like bringing

489
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: him into like the slot, cracking down on linebackers, and

490
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: like they used them. He just couldn't really catch, can't

491
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: really play wide receiver. Belichick just shipped him out. Most

492
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: general managers would hold on. You know. It's why, like

493
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: if you tell me Jalen Ragor is traded, I would

494
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: say that would probably be a good move by Howie Roseman.

495
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: And how he now has a J Brown, he can

496
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: be less emotional to Ragor and a lot of GM's

497
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 1: kind of I saw it with the forty nine ers

498
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: and Dante Pettis. They probably held on a little bit.

499
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: Solomon Thomas, you hold on a little long, like just pivot,

500
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: just get off. It's it's easy when it's your new team.

501
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: Like you know, Josh McDaniels comes to Raiders and Cleveland

502
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: Farrell and Jonathan Abram and they're just like kind of suck.

503
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: It's easy for him. If you tell me he cuts

504
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: them or trades them in training camp, be like, yeah,

505
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: it's not their pick. He doesn't care. It's another thing

506
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: when it's your pick. Because the majority of gms and

507
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: I don't blame them, but Belichick is way better at that.

508
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: He just cuts bait, and he cuts bait fast. The

509
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: one bright spot of these leagues that I do not watch.

510
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you and claim that I

511
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: watched the USFL when I don't. I probably watched a

512
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: total of twenty minutes. And the twenty minutes I watched,

513
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: it's not that I don't enjoy it. I just can't

514
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: really get into it. It's like if I'm watching the USFL,

515
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: like I should go outside and go for a walk,

516
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: I should go to the gym, like I should do

517
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: something else, Like that's I gotta use my time a

518
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: little bit better than that. I watched a lot of NFL,

519
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: a lot of college I can't watch the USFL, but

520
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: it is cool that in these leagues that there are

521
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: going to be several players that either bounce out of

522
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: the NFL and get their shot back or just weren't

523
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: on the radar. And the Washington football team Commanders Redskins

524
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: signed a guy from the USFL, a Division two defensive back.

525
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: And if you can get some of those stories, because

526
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: I think we talked about in the last podcast, if

527
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: they could do some sort of cohesion the with a

528
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: like a team kind of like a minor league, that's

529
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: never gonna happen. But if you can just do what

530
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: they're doing now, I think they're in a pretty good spot.

531
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's pretty cool for a guy that

532
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, I bet there was a time in his

533
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: life not only did you never think he was gonna

534
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: be the NFL, but he's probably thought his football career

535
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: was over. And you know, in a lot of sports,

536
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: right if I'm if I play on the PGA Tour

537
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, and even if I fail

538
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: and I'm done, I can still go to become a

539
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: member at a country club and play golf, and everyone

540
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: that plays with me goes, this might be the best

541
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: player I've ever seen. If you ever go play pick

542
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: up basketball, like the why you know, and this guy's like,

543
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, I played basketball at New Mexico. I was

544
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: a backup shooting guard. And you're like, God, damn, this

545
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,239
Speaker 1: guy's the best guy at my gym. So if you're

546
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: a tennis player, you just play tennis, so you're like,

547
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: you can't walk anymore and you just dominated tennis. Football

548
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: is the one sport where it's like, even if it

549
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: ends in college, like what else do you do? Like

550
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: you go to the gym and you're like, you're big.

551
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: There's no like pick up football leagues. It just kind

552
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: of ends. So these leagues are cool for guys like that.

553
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: Let's dive into the Middlecoff mail bag at John Middlecoff

554
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: is the Instagram at John Middlecoff is the Instagram. Fire

555
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: into those direct messages. I need you people, I need

556
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: you guys at John Middlecoff firing those dms and get

557
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: here on the POWD have a pod mail back question.

558
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: Can you explain the difference between NBA and NFL salary caps,

559
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: luxury tax, dead money etc. I assume that all teams

560
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: are in the max salary cap by the start of

561
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: the season, So how can teams do trades? Well, start

562
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: there not all the teams or in the max salary cap.

563
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: If you go to like spot track, it's where it's

564
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: a website that puts all the contracts together and kind

565
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: of breaks it all down and also does team payrolls.

566
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: A lot of teams have a lot of space right now.

567
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: I think was the Jags, I know the Browns. Like

568
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: there are several teams that have ten plus million dollars

569
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: in space. The major difference is one is a hardcap

570
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: and one is a softcap. So the Golden State Warriors,

571
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't know the exact NBA hardcap or softcap this year,

572
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: let's just pick a number one ten. Well, their salary cap,

573
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, with all their players, and their team went

574
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: way over one hundred and ten million dollars. They had

575
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 1: three players, Steph makes fifty, Clay makes four, and Draymond

576
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: makes twenty five. They got three players that max out

577
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: the salary cap. The difference in basketball when football it's

578
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars, you cannot go over two hundred

579
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: million dollars. In basketball, you can there's a quote unquote

580
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: a soft cap, but once you hit a threshold, you

581
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: go into the tax. So once you go into the tax,

582
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 1: every year that tax. You know, the basketball is kind

583
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: of complicated. There's a formula. I think the first year

584
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: is like one to one, the way the Warriors are.

585
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: They're in attacks where some of their contracts are like

586
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: four to one. So if I signed a guy do

587
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: a two year, forty million dollars contract, I have to

588
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: multiply that contract by four. So it gets very very expensive. Now,

589
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: if you have a lot of money, you can do that.

590
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: Where Jerry Jones, if he could, would not have let

591
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: Randy Gregor relieve, he would have paid him. He would

592
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: have paid a lot of the players, Like they had

593
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: to get rid of a Mary Cooper, they didn't have

594
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: the space. He might have just kept him, but he

595
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: can't because he has to have a salary cap a

596
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: hard one. So one is a soft cap, the other

597
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: is a hard cap. You can go over the soft cap,

598
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: you just have to be willing to pay some tax

599
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: that gets redistributed into the end to the league. I

600
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: think I heard on a podcast that every team in

601
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: the league that didn't pay the tax, got an eleven

602
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: million dollars distribution. I'm pretty sure that is how it works.

603
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: I could be wrong because I don't see like I

604
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: don't think the Warriors get eleven million dollars back. So

605
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: all the teams, like the Lakers, obviously the Warriors, there

606
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: were other teams. They pay into the tax and then

607
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: that gets distributed, which is kind of bullshit. Like if

608
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm the Warriors, like I gotta pay for the fucking magic,

609
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: screw you. But those are the rules of the league

610
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: to keep competitive balanced. The NFL doesn't have to worry

611
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: about that because one their media rights deal pays for

612
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: everything alone until you can't go over the cap, so

613
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: no one, there's no advantages, which I do think keeps

614
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: somewhat a little more equitable. But I got no problem

615
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: with the Warriors, did. I started listening to you once

616
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: you joined the volume, and now listen to every show

617
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: beside the golf ones. I enjoy hearing your perspective, and

618
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: as a recent BBA graduate from the University of Mexico,

619
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: I enjoy you speak about business and stocks, even though

620
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: my Biotechnology Center portfolio is currently in the toilet. This

621
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: was from May eleventh, I would imagine it's more in

622
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: the toilet. I'm not quite sure if this is really

623
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: what I want to spend my day's doing. I would

624
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: consider myself a semi professional fantasy football player and hope

625
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: to make a living one day playing fantasy or become

626
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur similar to yourself. So my question to you

627
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: or do you play fantasy football? And if you do,

628
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: do you rely more on the eye test or following

629
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: standard projections? And lastly, what advice would you give regarding

630
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: my current career situation? Thank you for a great content.

631
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: It helps past time at my job when I'm delivering

632
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: food for Grubhub and uber Eats on the weekends. Well,

633
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: let's start with your current situation. One. If you just

634
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: graduated BBA program, so I think that's a graduate degree.

635
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: I would let's just guess you're in your mid twenties.

636
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: If you want to make a career change, try to

637
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: make a career change. Now's the time. Like at my age,

638
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: there's no making a career change. I'm just too entrenched

639
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: in my ways. I've already done the grind for over

640
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: a decade. Like I can't go back to making no money.

641
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: I can't ever do that Now. Luckily, I'm where I

642
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: want to be. But I sacrificed a lot in my twenties.

643
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: I made no money. I grinded my ass off. I

644
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: had friends crushing it in different financial industries. I made nothing,

645
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: but I did what I wanted to do, and I

646
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: took a flyer and ultimately led me down this weird path.

647
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: But I'm here now. So to me, you have two options.

648
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: You either just go all in on it. Or if

649
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: you have a good job, instead of driving Uber and

650
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: door Dash on the weekends, why don't you do like

651
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: fantasy football content or you know, I don't know exactly

652
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: how you would do that, but like dedicate your time

653
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: to doing that on the weekends. And then if you

654
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: over a couple of years. Again, I'm just assuming you're

655
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. If you think that, you know,

656
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: you just get a feel for like three or four

657
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: years while you can Let's just I'm just pick a number.

658
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: Let's say you're making a hundred grand doing a normal

659
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: job and just on the side you try to hustle.

660
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing. When I was young, I

661
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: didn't go out that much. I didn't have that big

662
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: of a life. I didn't. I wasn't like leading a

663
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: normal person life. I kind of went all in. I

664
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: put all my chips in the middle of the table.

665
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: This wasn't my philosophy at the time because I was

666
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: just doing what I was doing. But looking back, like

667
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: you know when people say, like when you get somewhere,

668
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: burn the boats, like, don't give yourself an option to

669
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: go back, Like I again, I wasn't. This wasn't my

670
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: mindset at the time, just because I was living in

671
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: the moment. But the boats were burned. I didn't have

672
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: second options. I never like, well if I can't make

673
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,239
Speaker 1: it to the NFL after Fresno State and I'll just

674
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: go working insurance like that. That was not my mindset.

675
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: I was going to the NFL. And then once I

676
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: got out of the NFL, I was like, I'm gonna

677
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: get a radio show and it was just like those

678
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: they just became and I just was not gonna not

679
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: have that happen. So but like it's easy to say now,

680
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,239
Speaker 1: at the time, I again I didn't have much, so

681
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: it didn't necessarily matter to me. But you gotta put

682
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: all your chips in the middle of the table. I

683
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: think it's really hard to kind of make transitions if

684
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: you're making some money, if you're half asking it on

685
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: the side. So I would quit the Uberreese and the

686
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: door to Ash and just go all in on your

687
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: fantasy football. I don't play fantasy football. I mean I've

688
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: played daily fantasy. I suck because maybe I'm more of

689
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: an eye test guy. It's clearly a skill. I'm not

690
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: Matthew Berry or field Yates. I'm not that. I'm just

691
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: not good. So it's just not fun for me because

692
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: I always lose. I always just give money away. But

693
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't know what else

694
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: to say. I'm terrible at fantasy football. My recommendation would

695
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: be if you're really interested and you can't see yourself

696
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: doing that. If you can't see see yourself doing that

697
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 1: now when you're young, what do you think you're gonna

698
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: think when you're forty? Be fucking miserable. So I would

699
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: try to pivot as quickly as possible. Love the show.

700
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: I've always heard the second year for players is huge.

701
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: There's so much learning during their rookie year that they

702
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: don't start to find their feet until their second season.

703
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: Is there added pressure from the team's perspective on second

704
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: year players. In your opinion, do rookies or sophomore players

705
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: have more pressure on them to succeed. Who are some

706
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: of the second year players you're looking forward to watching

707
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: this season? Well, I think it depends. You know, if

708
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: you're a second year player in a high draft pick,

709
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: there's always pressure, right if if you have a first

710
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: round surrounded your name, like first round pick so and so,

711
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: there's pressure. Now if you're second, third, fourth, fifth, and

712
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: you're on a good team and you play behind star players,

713
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, you get you get to ease in. Not

714
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: everyone's given the same runway. Some guys have to land

715
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: the plane immediately and others are expected to dominate. Now,

716
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: I think the reason there's such a huge gap is

717
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: think about this. Let's say I'm a second year player

718
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: and I'm let's just pick a guy, let's pick let's

719
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: pick a quarterback. Let's pick Justin Fields. Justin Fields plays

720
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: twenty twenty on Ohio State. They go to the championship

721
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: game and they lose. So he's basically playing till the

722
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: middle of January. Then a season ends. He immediately starts

723
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: training for the Combine. Then he goes to the combine,

724
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: and because it's a highly touted prospect, he continues to

725
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: train for his pro day, and then while the Pro

726
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: day's happening, and then after the Pro day he's flying

727
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: to teams and meeting with teams. So his offseason, while

728
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, you know, Aaron Rodgers, whoever, are just doing

729
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: normal things, training, working out, letting their body recover from

730
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: the season, those guys never stop. They actually keep training

731
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 1: for specific events, and then the draft happens. They're flying

732
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: all over the place, and then they get to the team,

733
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: so they're way behind in their training regiment. And then

734
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: especially some of those guys have to play immediately, so

735
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: you're just kind of a lot's going on where some

736
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: guys get to kind of ease into it. You know,

737
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: maybe I get drafted in the fourth round, I make

738
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: the team, I'm a backup offensive guard. The guard gets

739
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: hurt Week eight, I become the starter for the second

740
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: half of the season. Well, I got two months to

741
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: just watch my starting guard, take notes how he practiced,

742
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: what he talked about, interacting with the coach, what the

743
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: quarterback likes, what the running backs likes. I get to

744
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: kind of ease into it. But then the next year,

745
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: I've been a starter. I know what it takes. I

746
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: get to recover in the offseason. If my coach is

747
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: the same, I know the scheme, and I get to

748
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: just be I'm more I guess you're just more comfortable

749
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: think about And it's hard to do do because once you've

750
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: been somewhere for a while, it's hard to relate to

751
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: that feeling of the first day. But those first day

752
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 1: jitters on a job of just not knowing anyone. Now,

753
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: as an NFL player, you get to go kind of

754
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: in with a group, like there's a group of drafted

755
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: players that are all kind of experiencing at the same time.

756
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: For most of us, like if we get a job,

757
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's just you go on to show up

758
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: one day by yourself. It's like, hey, here's your office

759
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: password is uh is Nike fourteen. Good luck, we'll see

760
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: at lunch. You know, you just kind of start working.

761
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: Where in football it's a little different, but there's a comfortability.

762
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: There should just be an improvement, there should be an

763
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: added confidence. So there's just a lot of factors. I

764
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: saw a post at CBS Sports ranking the top the

765
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: most overlooked and underrated player on each team. They had

766
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: al Shire for the Niners. Who do you think that

767
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: would be for the forty nine ers. I'd lean Juwan

768
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 1: Jennings one underappreciated player on each team, Zeke Elliott is one,

769
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is another one, Tyler Lockett, Tracy Walker, and

770
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: the Lions Daniel Jones. Yeah, this list is kind of stupid,

771
00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: but I'd say al Shire pretty good. One forty nine

772
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: ers linebacking corps is really good, so him in Greenlaw.

773
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: Green Law was hurt last year a little bit. Both

774
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: those guys, I mean, Fred Warner gets a lot of

775
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: the credit, but those guys are legit starters. But a

776
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: fan of three and out for a while as a revolt.

777
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: As a result, I found your golo and I'm getting

778
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: more into golf with the ongoing lib Verse PGA drama.

779
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: What opportunities do you see as a result for the

780
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: increasing popularity of golf. Could it ever get to a

781
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: point where these two leagues interact competitively on the course together.

782
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: It feels like there is a potential for some unique

783
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: matchup type golf events that would create Compelli storylines. I

784
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: see this all an opportunity to possibly increase the popularity

785
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: well as of recording this, there is potential for the

786
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: British Open to have like Rory, Scottie Scheffler, Cam Smith,

787
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: Victor hovelin Verse Westwood, DJ Gooch, Bryson. It honestly organically

788
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: could kind of play itself out in this major, which

789
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: would be for you awesome Rory just leading the charge. Uh,

790
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: you know, it's golf can change fast. I mean half

791
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: these guys could blow up tomorrow. But I you know,

792
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: I think we're a long way away from that. We

793
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: are a long way away from that. But I like

794
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: where your head's at. I think it would be very

795
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: very cool to have some sort of like this league

796
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: versus that league, you know, like play for a couple

797
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 1: of tournaments. Now you could argue, what do the super

798
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: rich live guys like DJ? He made one hundred and

799
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars, but he's really good, Like you

800
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: watched him. He shot four hundred a day like DJ

801
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: can play. You know, Bryson can play. So that's the

802
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: thing about Bryson I talked to earlier with Tiger Woods.

803
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: At the last live events Pumpkin Rich, Bryson got one

804
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars one hundred and fifty million

805
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: dollars to go to live. I mean that is and

806
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: Bryson was already a multi millionaires. That's a ton of money.

807
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: And after his first round he was on the range

808
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: after Like, I'll just give Bryson this. He really cares,

809
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: He really tries. Why. He loves golf. At his core,

810
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: he's a golf nerd like Tiger, like Phil, like you know,

811
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: Jordan Speed, like Bryson. Now he's not as cool as

812
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: those guys, but he loves it. And it's why I

813
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: said it was a big blow losing him because listen,

814
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: he's a weird guy. But you don't want to lose

815
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: huge personalities and unique guys like that. But I think

816
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: if you can keep him in the mix in these majors,

817
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: like you know, it adds a little villain element. A

818
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: huge fan of the Pod from Toronto. What kind of

819
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: season do you think it would take for a non

820
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: quarterback to win the MVP? After Henry rushed for two

821
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: thousand yards a few years ago, I don't see how

822
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: any award could ever go to a non quarterback unless

823
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: there was bad quarterback play throughout the league. I think

824
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: it would take you know, Cooper Cup had it just

825
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: a remarkable season, didn't feel like it was close. What

826
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: are the chances that are running back beside Derrick Henry

827
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: ever has like a twenty four yard season. Feels very unlikely.

828
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: People don't play that way. I think it would be

829
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: more likely come from a defensive player. Remember years ago,

830
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 1: JJ Watt like Cott touchdowns, he had like fifteen eighteen sacks.

831
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 1: He was dominant against the run. He was the clear

832
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: defensive player of the year. I think it would be

833
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: possible if you just get a defensive player that has

834
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: like twenty three sacks that is just clearly the best

835
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: player on defense and is the best player on his

836
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: own team, kind of like LT a long time ago.

837
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: Ray lewis a guy like that. You know, I don't

838
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: know exactly who that player would be. You know, Mica

839
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: Parsons would just have to have like twenty four sacks

840
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: and just dominate against the run, and the Cowboys win

841
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: eleven games and Dak Prescott's kind of average. It was

842
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 1: like Mica Parsons led this team. Nick Bosta has twenty

843
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: three sacks, and Trey Lance is just kind of a

844
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: game manager. He would get conversation. Now if justin Herbert

845
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: throws fifty touchdowns or Matt Stafford. Yeah, it's gonna be

846
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you. It's my issue with the Heisman Trophy.

847
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: Just rename it the Quarterback Award. Is this a quarterback award?

848
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 1: Or we're trying to go for the most valuable player?

849
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: Then the argument is like, what is the most valuable player?

850
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: Is the guy that throws the most touchdowns? Or is

851
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: it like, are we sure that Aaron Rodgers to me,

852
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: has been the best player in the league last couple

853
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: of years. But there has definitely been seasons where it's like, yeah,

854
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: I could go for someone else. Do your Tom Brady

855
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: want it? I probably wouldn't given it to was that

856
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's year? Was that the next year? But it's

857
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very, very difficult, which kind of makes

858
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: it a little monotonous, Like I just kind of want

859
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: to see something else answer this question. Actually love the POD.

860
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: I have an idea about the NIL and Transfer portal.

861
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: What do you think about making the athletes signed multi

862
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: year contracts to stay at a college based on NIL

863
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: and could those contracts keep athletes from transferring similar to

864
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: contracts in the NFL. Seems like if something like that occurred,

865
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: it could put a little bit of stability in the colleges.

866
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: So basically you're saying, then if I'm a good example

867
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: would be Jordan Addison, the guy that transferred to USC

868
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: the Bulletnikov wide receiver winner. If he was making five

869
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: hundred grand by a company that supported him at Pittsburgh,

870
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: he was tied to the University of Pittsburgh to stay,

871
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: And I would say, I think you might be onto something.

872
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 1: But that's not how it works in pro sports. Right

873
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm Patrick Mahomes and I have an

874
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: All State deal, or I'm Steph Curry and I have

875
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: a Subway deal. If I become a free agent and

876
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: I want to leave Subway or State, Farm or whoever,

877
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: can't tell me where to go play Now, historically Nike's

878
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: always had a lot of influence in basketball, But if

879
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: the player wants to play somewhere, he's gonna play somewhere.

880
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: So I I have less of an issue with a

881
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: transfer portal more than I do like the buying of

882
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: the guys, and just I'm not against buying of the

883
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: guys because I'm pro capitalism, pro these guys making money,

884
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: even though they've always made money. I just wish there

885
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,479
Speaker 1: was just some like in the NFL. There's a salary cap,

886
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: there's an amount of money you can pay players every year.

887
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: There's only a certain amount of teams that can deal.

888
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: Like it's just not an equal playing field, and it

889
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: never would be because USC Texas has more money. It

890
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: just feels like it's a little out of control, just

891
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: with like some sort of like rules behind it. Again,

892
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: every I get, I get we all get regulated in

893
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: all of our industries. The NFL is regulated, all pro

894
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: sports roll regulated, the college there's just nothing. And this

895
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: gets back to the NC double as a joke, I

896
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: would get rid of the NC double A. I would

897
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: basically bring in like a Roger Goodell type to just

898
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: create some buylass. Maybe there's a cap. You know, the

899
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: most you can make is two million dollars a year.

900
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: But again, I'm not trying to put limits on guys

901
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: making I'm just trying to have some sort of some

902
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 1: sort of cohesion. I mean, it's just it's now listen,

903
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm making money on the Internet. We're still a little

904
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: bit of the wild wild West. So I'm I like

905
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: the wild wild West because you know who the wild

906
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: wild West. Who it benefits the brave, the most aggressive.

907
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: You know, it just does. Now it's a little bit

908
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: the college foot football is the wild wild West, but

909
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: it's also backed by money USC Texas, Bama, Georgia, Florida

910
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: A and M. Like Ohio State, Michigan. They're still land

911
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: of the best players. So my analogy with the internet's

912
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: a little bit different. But I hear you, I don't

913
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: mind being able to transfer one time, but it does
