1
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,159
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody's John Little Coop three and

2
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: out podcast. I hope everyone, uh is doing well and

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: and getting through this. You know, it's it's not easy.

4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: And depending on where you are, maybe you already through it.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Maybe you're already in the sense of your your home

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: states opened. I know mine in California. Uh, it feels

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: like it's kind of going the other way, which is bizarre,

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: but you know, you know, it is what it is.

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: And the one thing I've said over and over, I

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: try desperately to not consume just an unlimited amount of

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: stuff because it's easy to get really angry the longer

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: this goes. Uh. Yeah, And I just you know, I'm

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: like a football coach kind of coach speak, you know,

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: I try to control what I can control. And that's

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: how I've approached this. Why I just kept doing podcasts

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: and just kept producing. You know, there's really not much

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: going on, but luckily, you know, you know, I can

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: produce some some topics here, and we actually had a

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: couple of stories. I'm gonna dive into a problem the

20
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: league has that it's just a sneaky disaster right now,

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: and I think it could really come to fruition in

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: front of everyone's eyes. If we're not having fans in

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 1: the stands this fall. I picked my top five young

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: players rookies, second year or third year players, just younger

25
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: players that I'm excited to watch this fall, uh than

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: just a couple of stories. And then, like always at

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: John middlecoff is my Instagram handle d MS wide open,

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: slide up in there and you can ask anything you

29
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: want and I got a bunch of questions. Also appreciate

30
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: everyone that's gone to Apple or iTunes and left a

31
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: five star review. If you haven't, like I always say, greatly,

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: appreciate it. It helps the show. If you like the show,

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: go to three and Out on iTunes, the separate one

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: from Collins and leave a review. I think we're almost

35
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: at a thousand, so I appreciate everyone doing that. I guess.

36
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: In two thousands sixteen, the league announced that they were

37
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: sending two teams to Los Angeles and ever since then,

38
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: and even at the time, I I didn't quite get it.

39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: And if you listen to the show, you know I'm

40
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: a West Coast guy. I lived in California, but I've

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: lived in Northern California. By the majority of my life.

42
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: I guess cal Poly is in central the Central coast,

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: but it's still three hours away from l A. Never

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: lived in l A, never lived in San Diego, though

45
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: I'd love to live in San Diego. It's it's awesome,

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: uh Ben, l A has grown on me a lot.

47
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool, like where Colin lives in Manhattan Beach

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: is awesome, Newport Beach, Santa Monica. I mean, there's Malibu.

49
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: There's some places that are badass. It's like, I used

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: to talk a lot of shit about New York when

51
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: I lived in Philly, and it's like, it's not like

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: I had any connection to Philly or New York or anything.

53
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: I just I always just kind of felt I was

54
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: more Philly or Boston. And then I moved to phil

55
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: like I hate New York. And then I remember going

56
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: for the Draft. I was like, God, this place is

57
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: pretty sweet. And then I went back a couple of times.

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: It's badass. So sometimes when you go somewhere, you're like, oh, yeah,

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: this place is cool. But the NFL, their power brokers

60
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: aren't West Coast. People think about it. Jerry Jones really

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: is the only guy who's even close to the West Coast,

62
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: the Crafts, the Maras, Jeffrey Lury, uh Woody Johnson, they

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: all live in the Northeast. The league's offices are in

64
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: New York. Now, I completely understood when they wanted to

65
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: move a team to Los Angeles. It's the second biggest

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: market in America. Now. L A County announced that they

67
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: might shut down to like two thousand the other day,

68
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: which is outrageous, but you know, typical California. But the

69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: reality is l A County and just the southern California

70
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: is massive. It's double the side. Like, there's a lot

71
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: of people that live in Northern California and the Greater

72
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Bay Area. I think there's like eight million people that

73
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: live in the Greater By Area. It's like double that

74
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: in l A. There are a lot of people there.

75
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: So I I completely understand why the l A market

76
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: was appealing to the league power brokers, because it's all

77
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: about money. But when they sent San Cronkey there and

78
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: forced him to take Dean Spanos, it never made sense

79
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: to me. And I also think forcing the rams was

80
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: still going to be difficult. I I don't know if

81
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: there was a proper solution. It's not like they were

82
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: going to expand and just put some random new team.

83
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: They were never gonna send the Raiders down there. They

84
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: didn't have the capitol, they couldn't afford. You couldn't let

85
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers go on their own because, like the Raiders

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: don't quite have the money. Though Dean Spanos sneaky has

87
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: more money than you think, but they definitely know the

88
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: fan base. So you're hoping that the Rams kind of

89
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: has the fan base, they definitely have the capital. Well,

90
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: then this pandemic hits. But even before the pandemic, and

91
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: it was written about in an article on The Athletic

92
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: about Stan Crocky has asked for five hundred million dollars

93
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: more from the league. And the biggest reason he's doing

94
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: this is threefold. One. It's really expensive to build in California.

95
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: And you can say a project is two billion dollars,

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna cost way more our costs, or more our

97
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: labor costs, or more. Everything costs more money here. You

98
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: have to jump through a million hoops just to get

99
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: anything done. Dealing with our politicians cost a lot of

100
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: money out here, and it's really expensive. That's why you

101
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: see a lot of businesses moving out of here. It

102
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: doesn't given what you have to pay unless you're a

103
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: big boy like an Apple or a Facebook, where money

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: means nothing to you. It's hard to get going out here.

105
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: But Crokey Big Picture wanted it, though he's in real estate.

106
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: I'm not even quite sure he realized how much this

107
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: thing would cost. And I think we've all seen the numbers,

108
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: like five or six billion dollars. Well, there's gonna come

109
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: a point where he's gonna stop putting his own money

110
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: into this, so the cost overruns big issue. Here's another

111
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: problem their PSL situation. The thing all these new stadium

112
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: sell have come close to meeting the eight hundred and

113
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars that they hope to hit. But here's

114
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: the main reason they haven't got to the eight hundred

115
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: fifty million dollar total that they were hoping to hit.

116
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: It's not as the Rams were actually able to sell

117
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: a large percentage of their PSLs. The Chargers didn't get

118
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: anywhere close. But the Chargers are not a partner in this.

119
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: The Chargers are the RAMS tenant, so they're not giving

120
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: any money beside the PSL money, so they are just

121
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: a dead weight in the situation. And then potentially no

122
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: gate this fault with no fans, so in the league.

123
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they rushed this situation, but they definitely

124
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: kind of were flying by the seat of their pants

125
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: when they allowed the Chargers to go with the Rams.

126
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: And now the Chargers are in a situation where no

127
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: one wants them in the Los Angeles. They can't afford

128
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: to actually help stand cronky out stand crokeys. At the

129
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: point where you can get mad at these billionaires all

130
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: you want, there comes a point where they stopped putting

131
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: their own personal wealth into businesses that they just do,

132
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: especially in a situation wation like this when it's partner driven.

133
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: Their success in l A benefits the league and makes

134
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: the league money. They're putting the NFL network in there.

135
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: And it feels like he's just trying to draw the

136
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: line of the stand. And here's the other thing. He

137
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: knows that this fall could be a disaster from a

138
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: league revenue standpoint. If you're not allowed to have fans,

139
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a huge Uh. Just come back to

140
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: the mean in terms of local signage in your own stadium,

141
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: right you're paying bud Lights paying ten million to be there.

142
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: All your local sponsors that pay yearly prices at huge

143
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 1: amounts of money. Well, they're not actually getting their money's

144
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: worth because there's no people in the freaking you know,

145
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: the stadium. Now, I've talked to people in the league

146
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: that told me everything is negotiable, and some of these

147
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: big companies, it's not like they cut you off because

148
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: big picture, they don't want to get booted out of there.

149
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: But you can't just charge someone full price when you're

150
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: not getting full price. I saw my gym. Uh there

151
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: was like a local report of the gym I go do.

152
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: We're showing what they're gonna do when we pretend actually

153
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: come back in the next month and every single person

154
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: is going to have like their own little space. They

155
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: push back bikes and put things all over, like the

156
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: stationary bikes are out by the pool, and they're only

157
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: gonna allow fifty capacity, So if you get there and

158
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: it's already full, you're not allowed in. Well here's what

159
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: I know. And I pay way too much for my gym,

160
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: though I do, it's an expense that I don't mind

161
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: because it's one of the only things I consistently use

162
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: in my daily life that is definitely worse than the

163
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: price you can't charge me full price if when I

164
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: show up, I'm not always allowed in, if the normal

165
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: equipment that I'm used to using is not available. Like

166
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: we got problems, but in this I think works for

167
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: everyone is realizing that this is gonna cost a lot

168
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: of people a lot of money. I saw a headline

169
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: today that the Green Bay Packers, who are probably the

170
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: most unique team in professional sports because they don't have

171
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: an owner, They don't have a guy that if you

172
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: just get into a pinch, can just cut a check.

173
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: But they do have a three hundred almost four hundred

174
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: million dollars slush fund of just extra money that they've saved,

175
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: and they might have to use it this fall because

176
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: if they're not allowed fans in lambeau Field, they're the franchise.

177
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: They would get really nailed. And I think Crocys number

178
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: two because he's literally carrying the weight of a second franchise.

179
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: It's one thing just to run one franchise and have

180
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: to pay for costs in just this awful pandemic that's

181
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: shut down freaking America and doesn't enable you to do

182
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: business as normal. And we're I mean, I mean, it's

183
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: even kind of crazy. It's may whatever, fourteenth time recording

184
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: this and we're talking about something in September. I don't

185
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: ever remember something that no one knows less about that

186
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: we talk about more absolutes. But it sure feels like

187
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: we're headed towards something where there's not going to be

188
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: potentially fans in the in the stadiums. I think the

189
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: l A situation is just a problem for the league.

190
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, no one wants the charges down there. Like

191
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: I said, they don't bring anything to the table. Four

192
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: stand Crokey. I think they charge him a dollar a year.

193
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: There's just so much resentment. There have been countless stories

194
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: about the situation between the two owners. But but here's

195
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: the simple little truth. Does the league really care about

196
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers and rams bitching and moaning? Now, I don't

197
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: think they typically do. They're like, well, that stand, that's

198
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: your problem, California or whatever. But now he's going to

199
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: the league and going I need five dred million dollars

200
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: and the league, the NFL networks depended on him, the league.

201
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I've talked about this on the

202
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: show countless times. Everything's gonna move to l A very soon,

203
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, once the pandemics over the next couple of years,

204
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: and I'm talking NFL Combine, I'm talking Senior Bowl. It's

205
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: all headed there, like like any smart person will tell you,

206
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: follow the money. Now, I wouldn't move the combine from

207
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: Indianapolis the Senior Bowl. I like Jim Naggi who runs it.

208
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: But does it make that much sense to be in mobile?

209
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Wouldn't make more sense in a major city. We could

210
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: argue that all day long. But you don't spend five

211
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: six billion, and the league doesn't put in nine hundred

212
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: million dollars to not run your entire league through that

213
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: kind of as the hub, as the West Coast hub,

214
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: and that's ideally what I think they were thinking. Now,

215
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: how long does it take us to get there? Who knows? Uh?

216
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: But this isn't going well. And anyone that lived out

217
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: on the West Coast when they were trying to figure out,

218
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: like can we put multiple teams in l A. How

219
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: could you go from zero to two when it's not

220
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: like the city had been without football for five years

221
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: and everyone was just lined up yearning for it. The

222
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: city had been without football for almost twenty five years.

223
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: And as you saw with USC, you know, college football,

224
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: they were fine. They didn't even think about the Lakers,

225
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: the Dodger, USC Football, U C l A A lot

226
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: going on. They at the beach, got other ship going on.

227
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: And then you try to, you know, force two teams,

228
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: you get problems. And I think sometimes in leagues and

229
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: baseball basketball that they're all based in the Northeast. So

230
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: they Roger Goodell his thinking like if they would never

231
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: have done something like this in Jersey, right, just go

232
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: from no teams in New York or New Jersey or

233
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: Philly to all of a sudden two they would never

234
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: do that. Why because they're comfortable with the area. They

235
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: live in the area, they consistently do business in the area.

236
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: Now you say, well, all the owners they come through

237
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: l A when they vacation. It's one thing to vacation

238
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: and come out to Los Angeles to hang out. Is

239
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: another thing to be billions of dollars invested and put

240
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: the you know, part of the league's future involved in

241
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: the area. It never made much sense and the problems

242
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: are only adding up as this pandemic just kicks in. Okay,

243
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: let's look at five players. I really didn't put much

244
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: criteria on it. I just quote unquote younger players. The

245
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: oldest players would be be in the league three years.

246
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: I have a rookie and a couple of second year players,

247
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: so it's kind of all over the map. But five

248
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: guys that I am really excited and slash interested to

249
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: see how they play this fall. They either had a

250
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: great last season, they either struggled. There really wasn't much criteria.

251
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: I just wrote down five young guys that I'll be

252
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: really really locked into this fall. Let's start at five.

253
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: John Elways had a rough career beside Peyton Manning of

254
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: picking quarterbacks Osweiler disaster. Uh, he just hasn't found a quarterback, right,

255
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they just weren't shambles. After Peyton Manning. Well,

256
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: they drafted a guy named Drew lock who full disclosure,

257
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: I didn't know that much about beside watching at Missouri,

258
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: didn't you know, I was kind of indifferent, had a

259
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: big arm. Uh, seemed like a likable guy, but I

260
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: don't know. And when l White took him, it felt

261
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: like it's kind of a bold move. Well, in a

262
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: couple of games that I watched him play last year,

263
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: he looked pretty good. He was sixty in five starts

264
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: to kind of end the season. Completion percentage seven touchdowns,

265
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: three picks. We'll think about this offseason for Drew Lock.

266
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: They add Jerry Judy, they add Melvin Gordon. They add

267
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: in the second round kJ Hamler, Legit deep thread to

268
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: go along with Philip Lindsay and No a fan who

269
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: they drafted last year, and Corland Sutton who's already on

270
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: the team and pretty good player. Like, they have a

271
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: pretty good young nucleus for this guy to kind of

272
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: grow with. They add Pat Shermer to be their offensive

273
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: coordinator a running game and a tight end is usually

274
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: operates as a quarterback's best friend. And now you have

275
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: some weapons for this guy. I actually think the Denver

276
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: Broncos are a sleeper team this fall if this guy

277
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: is good. Number four Baker Mayfield. I loved Baker coming out.

278
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: Then after his rookie year, I thought the overreaction how

279
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: good he was as a player was ridiculous. People were

280
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: putting him in this tier with like a Rogers and

281
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and Mahomes. It was outrageous. Well, now it's

282
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of come back to earth. Everyone thinks he sucks.

283
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure. I'm not willing to just say

284
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: write the guy off and I'm by no means feel

285
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: confident to say this guy is gonna go to Pro Bowls. Right.

286
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: He threw twenty two touchdowns and twenty one interceptions. He

287
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: hung his hat in college as an accurate passer. Well

288
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: stopped being accurate last year. Now. Sometimes not, Sometimes a

289
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: lot of times, when you have a terrible head coach,

290
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: you're going to be a bad player. When you're a

291
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: young quarterback, it's hard to overcome in confidence at the

292
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: coaching position. Freddie Kitchens is a laughing stock as a

293
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: head coach. Not in a million years would anyone named

294
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens as their head coach unless your name is

295
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: John Dorsey and the owners Jimmy hasl like that's that

296
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: can't happen. But it did. Now they got Stefanski, which

297
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a head coach, but I

298
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: didn't know this. He coordinated an offense last year and

299
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: they were dynamic. Kirk aus is the best statistical year

300
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: of his career. They should have a good running game

301
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: because Tefanski in the zone scheme should thrive. Nick Chubb,

302
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt. There are no excuses for Baker Mayfield. They

303
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: draft an offensive lineman, they add Conklin. They have multiple

304
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: tight ends, they got multiple wide receivers. Both of his

305
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: running backs can catch. Like if Baker Mayfield struggles this year,

306
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: maybe he's just not good enough. Maybe he's just he's

307
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: not meant to be the Cleveland Browns quarterback. But maybe

308
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: he bounces back. So it's great about young players in sports.

309
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: You know, they're kind of an ever evolving thing. No

310
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: one gets no one stays the same. You're either getting better,

311
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: you're getting worse. So he he either is gonna look

312
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: like he showed the glimpses as a rookie, or he's

313
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna keep progressing. And with no offseason, a lot is

314
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: gonna be on him, uh to try to master this

315
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: offense mentally and then get on the same page with

316
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: his guys whenever they get to training camp number three.

317
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: I think it might have the best rookie season I

318
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: have seen since I've been doing this for like a decade.

319
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: In nick Bosa, he was dominant, and then when the

320
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: playoffs started, he was even better. Talk to the people

321
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 1: in Kansas City when they watched the game tape, how

322
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: good the guy was? Man amongst boys? Nine sacks like

323
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: the the the box scores don't even do it justice

324
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: his effort. He's better than Joey And I was someone

325
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: that would have taken quinnin Williams. I was riding here

326
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: locally for the athletic I take Quinn and Williams. I

327
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: take Quinn and Williams. Well, that would have been the

328
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: wrong decision. So the reason I'm talking into a microphone

329
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: because passac on Nick Bosa would have been a disaster.

330
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: And he's not the main reason, but he was a

331
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: major part and a major piece to a team that went,

332
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen plus wins before they got the Super Bowl,

333
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: and they had a ten point lead going into the

334
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. So is this guy gonna just become one

335
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: of the all time greats? Like? Is that? Is that

336
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: what this guy is? Like? We knew right away with

337
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: von Miller, We knew right away with Alden Smith. Now

338
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: he started hitting sauce and kind of derailed his career.

339
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: We knew right away with j. J. Watt, We knew

340
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: right away with Joey Bosa. Well, we know right away

341
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: with Nick. If this guy stays healthy, I mean, there's

342
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: a chance that he could dominate this league for years

343
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: to come because he's way more refined. I remember Khalil

344
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: Max rookie year. Khalil was much more of a work

345
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: in progress, much more of a raw product, and by

346
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: the time he got to like midway through a second year,

347
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: by his third year, he was a dominant, dominant player.

348
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: His first year like four sacks. Now his team sucked,

349
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: but still like he he had he had to work

350
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: on some things and once he figured it out, it

351
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: was game over. This guy I heard he had it

352
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: figured out. This guy has all the moves, and then

353
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: he has the physical attributes in terms of the explosive burst,

354
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: the bend and any plays hard. It's just it was

355
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: awesome to watch number two. I think it's fair to

356
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: say that the best offensive line in football, at least

357
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of years has been an Indian Atlas,

358
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: and their offensive skill guys beside Luck and t Y

359
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: over the years hasn't been very good. Well this year,

360
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: what do they do. They draft Michael Pittman in the

361
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, with their first pick in the second round,

362
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: and then their second pick they take Jonathan Taylor, who

363
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: I know a couple of people to do that area.

364
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: They love Jonathan Taylor. They had like a late first

365
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: early second round great on him. I've watched a lot

366
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: of Jonathan Taylor over the years. He is a special

367
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: running back in terms of a running back. Now, he

368
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: has some questions. You can fumble the ball sometimes and

369
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: we don't know how he really catches the football. But

370
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: one thing I watched with Chris Ballard or maybe he

371
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: said this to Colin. Colin asked Hi about he said,

372
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: there's some questions with his hands. One thing Frank Wrych

373
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: told him was, like, the majority of times we're gonna

374
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: be we're not gonna be asking this guy to run

375
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: go routes. We're gonna throw him wheel routes, and we're

376
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna throw him screen passes. But the main thing we're

377
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: gonna do is we're gonna hand him the football behind

378
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: an offensive line that malls people behind arguably the best

379
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: offensive lineman in the league in Quentin Nelson. We're gonna

380
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: run right behind that guy, and we're gonna run power

381
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: and gonna run power, and we're gonna run a little

382
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: more power. I think there's a very decent chance that

383
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor leads all offensive rookies and rushing and I

384
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: would expect him to have a massive year and when

385
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has been good. Over the years, they've always

386
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: had a balanced running attack, whether it was back in

387
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: the day with LT for a glimmer moment with Ryan Matthews,

388
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: and then obviously with Melvin Gordon. When Rivers has a

389
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: good running attack, he's been good. And I think Jonathan

390
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: Taylor is a stud behind that offensive line. I can't

391
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: wait to watch him. Number One, I love this guy

392
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: as a player. Last year he got mono nucleo since

393
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: and he disappeared for three games and when you look

394
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: at the box score for a season he had through

395
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: nineteen touchdowns and thirteen picks. His coach was kind of

396
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: a disaster last year. They weren't really on the same page.

397
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: His offensive line was a turnstyle at every position. Well,

398
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: they've doubled down. They signed a bunch of offensive lineman.

399
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: They draft an offensive lineman in the first round. They

400
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: draft another guy in the third round, so they've invested

401
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: a lot of resources there. Uh, he does have Levian Bell.

402
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: They draft a wide receiver in the second round. They

403
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: lost Robbie Anderson, but you know, Sam Donald is a

404
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: guy like he excelled in college with really his only

405
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: NFL wide receiver when he was a student college three

406
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: years ago. Was Pittman Jr. Who's an NFL guy. He

407
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: was a freshman at the time. I guess he would

408
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: have been a sophomore at the time. So Sam Donald

409
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: is used to elevating players. I think he's more talented

410
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: than Baker Mayfield. I think he's a better thrower of

411
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: the football in terms of accurately than Josh Allen. Obviously

412
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: Lamar has had a better first two years. I mean

413
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: that's not even arguable. But when the dust settles in

414
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: five or six years, it won't shock me if Sam

415
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: Donald's the best now he has to do it. And

416
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: like I said with Baker Mayfield and same thing with

417
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: Drew Lock, your success as a quarterback is often very

418
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: very uh you know, it's tied to the guy calling

419
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: the place, whether that you're head coach or whether it's

420
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. When you got a good guy calling

421
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: the plays, and you got a good coach, whether Sean Payton,

422
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Sean McVeigh, Kyle Shanahan, we all know who

423
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: they are. Josh McDaniels, you do well. When you get

424
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: guys that don't know what they're doing, usually struggle. It

425
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: wasn't like God, remember when Peyton Manning threw forty seven

426
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns with Freddie Kitchens or geez, remember when Aaron Rodgers

427
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: threw all those touchdowns? You know with Jim tom Sula,

428
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: it's not usually the way it works, right, There's a

429
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: reason Mike McCarthy Jerry Jones gave him all that money.

430
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: I know it ended poorly in Green Bay. He's viewed

431
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: as a high level coach. And you know, Greg Roman

432
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: got crushed around these parts back in the day when

433
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: Kaepernick fell apart. He was also the guy that made

434
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: Kaepernick sweet well who's now making Lamar suite Greg Roman shocker.

435
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: So if Adam Gaze, who once upon a time was

436
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: viewed as like a Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVeigh, it

437
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: might all be made up by Peyton Manning. But he

438
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: had moments in Miami. They made it to the playoffs

439
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: this first year, and Ryan tanne Hill was good before

440
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: he got hurt and then he rattle offs and wins

441
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: with Matt More. Now, I think most of us think

442
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: of Adam Gates is kind of this weird dude. But

443
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: and listen, sometimes we're biased when we know someone. So

444
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I if Peyton Manning says the guy

445
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: is legit, I'm gonna take what he says at face value.

446
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: But sometimes you can be too close to someone to

447
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: not see some of his uh, some of the issues

448
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: that he may have as a coach, as a person,

449
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: whatever he does. But I do know enough people that

450
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: have been around at him to say he's really bright

451
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: when it comes to offense. Now, there's more to just

452
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: being the offensive coordinator when you're the head coach. But

453
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: if he can figure just somehow to be a head coach,

454
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: he can He should be able to call plays and

455
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: help Sam Donald out. So Sam Donald, Jonathan Taylor, Nick Bosa,

456
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Andrew Luck are the five guys that I'm

457
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to watching this pall. Okay, let's hit a

458
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: couple of quick stories before we dive into the middlecof

459
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: mail bag. One thing making the rounds this week is

460
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: that the NFL, I don't know if this was proposed

461
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: or Florio just threw that out there, might make players

462
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: sign a waiver because of Corona. Here's what I know,

463
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: and I talked about it on Monday Show, is that

464
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: the players, because of the financial incentive, are gonna be

465
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: have much more reason to come back. Their careers are

466
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: much shorter than baseball and definitely basketball, they're gonna play

467
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: this fall if given the option in two. I don't

468
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: know one person one. I don't know anyone with Corona.

469
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that's got Corona. Now. I know

470
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people that think they have gotten Corona,

471
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: because I know, at least in California, the only times

472
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: I've written about this, we've had it here since the fall. Uh.

473
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: Young people that I know aren't not only not scared

474
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: of the Corona, are getting to the point now where

475
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: they think it's kind of ridiculous and are terrified financially,

476
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: so to think that NFL players would not be comfortable

477
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: signing a waiver that if they got Corona, it's not

478
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: the NFL's fault. They play football every Sunday. Where Alex

479
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: Smith had an injury that was so bad they put

480
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: him with wounded Warriors who had had limbs blown off.

481
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: We see bone shattered, we see ribs broken, we see

482
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: knees ripped, We she see shoulders torn apart. The NFL player,

483
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: this is not baseball, where you know you get Tommy John,

484
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: you go to Dr James Andrews and your hunter million

485
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: dollar contract is unfaced. This is not basketball where you

486
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: live in fairytale land and everyone the average salary seven

487
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: million dollars. This is sport that on any given year

488
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: your career could end. That in any given year you

489
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: can just be cut. Larry Warford, Wafford, Larry whatever. The

490
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: Saints offensive lineman who has made three straight Pro Bowls,

491
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: was just released after the draft because they drafted a

492
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: guy in the first round. I repeat, he made three

493
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: straight Pro Bowls. The NFL does not parallel the other

494
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: two major sports. It really parallels America at the time.

495
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: At any moment, things can end and it won't be

496
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: an issue if you've got to sign a waiver. Dave

497
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: Portnoy is gonna watch a game in Roger Goodell's basement

498
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: this fall, at least we think he is. He won

499
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: the bidding to watch the game with Roger Goodell this

500
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: fall for COVID, you know, for charity. He paid two

501
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars and they have a longstanding beef. Uh.

502
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: He got arrested when the flight gate happened because he

503
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: locked himself to the front of the NFL offices. He's

504
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: made the towels uh that that it would be smart

505
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: for Roger Goodell. Bar Stool has been very, very good

506
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: for the league. It really has. Uh. It's why ESPN

507
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: for years and we talked about it with Monday Night Football,

508
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: ESPN was not good for the NFL. They were constantly

509
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: talking crap about it and constantly acting like the league

510
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: was the devil, and Barstool has been the opposite. They've

511
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: promoted football. They've really kind of hung their hat on

512
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: talking about football. They have an NFL players podcast on

513
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: under the Barstool umbrella. They get a lot of the

514
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: young star football players on their platforms. They're synonymous with

515
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: kind of the Patriots. Over the years, they have been

516
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: good for the NFL. I don't know like how deep

517
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell's resentment is for Portnoy. He once dragged him

518
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: out of the Super Bowl two years ago. When to

519
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: David snuck in there. I do think it would be

520
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: smart and humanize Rods a little bit if he could

521
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: hang out with Dave for a game on periscope or whatever.

522
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: Now will he actually do it, I don't know, But

523
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: the NFL is running circles right now around the other

524
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: two leaks, the baseball has a player talking about how

525
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: he's scared for his life and he's never gonna play

526
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: under these circumstances. How the owners are trying to screw

527
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: up basketball. Who knows they're They're terrified of Twitter and

528
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: CNN getting mad at them football. All all I know

529
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: is that you put on a football game, you get people.

530
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: You put on anything NFL related, you get ten plus

531
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: million people. I think it would be smart for the

532
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: league to have Roger and Dave Portnoy sit down. I

533
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: think it would be funny. I think they would get

534
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: a lot of credit. It might get a little uncomfortable

535
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: for moments, but I think big picture would be the

536
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: smart move. Goodell extended the stay at home order for

537
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: NFL teams, unlike college football, which you're gonna see like

538
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: some SEC teams come back and Big ten comes back,

539
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: and they're all gonna come back at different times. Because

540
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: as long as you can't start training camp until the

541
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: same day, it doesn't really matter. In the NFL. Just

542
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: because Florida opens, you can't allow the Dolphins or the

543
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers to start running practices while the forty

544
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: Niners and the Seattle Seahawks and the I almost called

545
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: them the San Diego Chargers. Chargers aren't allowed to do anything,

546
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: so Goodell said this and he stuck to it. Everything's

547
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna be universal, So you have to keep working from home,

548
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: you keep have to do the virtual meetings. But it

549
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: will be interesting when the fall actually comes. Do they

550
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: allow like if if Florida's allowing fans but California is not,

551
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: do they allow fans in the teams? And then they

552
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: just kind of split the revenue nationally. I don't know,

553
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fascinated thing to just keep an

554
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: eye on. We'll just dive in the middleoff mail bag

555
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, let's let's attack at John middlecoff d

556
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: MS wide open. I think I have like twenty left.

557
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Come in fire in ask your question, what are your

558
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Gopher coach? P J. Fleck cheesy full

559
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: of ship a football Tony Robbins. Obviously, the University of

560
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: Michigan is in the national University of Minnesota is in

561
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: the national powerhouse. But could a couple more years of

562
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: success like last year's turn that around? Yeah, I mean,

563
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: I from what I've been told people that have been

564
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: through his schools. Say he's not for everyone, but he's legit.

565
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: He's not a fraud because I think some people naturally

566
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: think when you get a high energy, kind of raw,

567
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: raw young guy, they think it's just kind of a stick.

568
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: He's good, he's a really good coach. I think highly

569
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: of him. Now, would he be meant for every program?

570
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: Probably not. He works at programs that aren't nationally successful

571
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: because quote unquote, I don't even like calling it a stick.

572
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: What he brings the table kind of works. Would that

573
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: work at like Texas? No? But would that work at

574
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: like U c l A. Maybe? Would that work at

575
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: Michigan Maybe? I don't know. I mean I would it

576
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: work at in the SEC? Probably not. I actually think

577
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: he'd work on the in the West Coast pretty well, Washington,

578
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: s c Uh, you know, obviously Minnesota. I think he

579
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: would work probably in the Big ten, in the Pack twelve,

580
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: very very He's kind of like he's made for the academics.

581
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: It looks like the California especially the Barrier, are going

582
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: to be the last in the country to lift the lockdown,

583
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: and it may go through August. I have a hard

584
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: time seeing that. I know, speaking for northern California. We

585
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: just don't have the body count. I mean, we're actually

586
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: much more like Iowa, like per Capital, where nothing we

587
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: we have talked about like we're in New York. I mean,

588
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: I I've been predicting this. I don't I don't like

589
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: tweeting about this because I don't like to be angry

590
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: about it. But the civil unrest is starting out here.

591
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: We got forty million people, we have deaths, and again

592
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: I have lived in I know a lot of people

593
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: can I don't know one person who's got Corona. So

594
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: it's just starting to just not add up for people

595
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: out here. I think we're coming down the home stretch

596
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: now for football. Should the Niners just plan to go

597
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: out of state for training camp? I'm also worried that

598
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: this will go to the start of the season. I see,

599
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I think they're playing football in the Bay Area.

600
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: Uh come the fall? Now? Are there fans? I would

601
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: lean no, But I can't pretend to know. I I

602
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: just know the numbers. Given the where we're at in

603
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: society in California aren't as dire as the way they're

604
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: locking us down, and people are starting to get edgy.

605
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: Businesses are starting to be desperate. Uh. At the end

606
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: of the day, in California, the private sector runs the state.

607
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: The state cannot operate without our tax revenue. And the

608
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: tax revenue the municipalities usually get a lot of I

609
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: mean a lot of tax revenue from local businesses. Restaurants

610
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: are pay a huge tax, but well they're not making

611
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: any money right now, so it's a it's a complete disaster.

612
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: So I I would expect things get a little more

613
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: normal in California, at least in northern California closer and

614
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: you already see Elon Musk like, what are we doing?

615
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: Any want? And they opened up, So I I know

616
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: more and more businesses that are opening up now. When

617
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: it comes to football, you know, I say one thing

618
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: for Jed he invites Gavin Newsom to think so that

619
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: will probably help. Uh Will there be fans? I don't know,

620
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: but I I think they will have training camp in

621
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: Santa Clara. That's just an educated guess. You put any

622
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: stock into the reports of the Seahawks offered the Browns

623
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: russ for the two thou eighteen first overall pick sounds

624
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: like bullshit to me. I I say this all the time.

625
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: What do you think when I worked in the front

626
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: office and spent fifteen hours a day, you know, year round,

627
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, around coaches and scouts, what do you think

628
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: we talk about all day long and hypothetical stuff all

629
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: day long. It's when you trade this guy for that guy?

630
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: All day long, it's what do we have to do

631
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: to acquire that guy? These are the conversations you have.

632
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: So was there a conversation of, you know, should we

633
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: pay Russell Wilson thirty million dollars and thirty five million

634
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: dollars a year? Maybe the Browns called and initiated the

635
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: conversation and they just thought about it. You know, you

636
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: just you're allowed to think about things because at the

637
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: end of the day, they paid Russell Wilson. Now for

638
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: me to get trade Russell Wilson to the Browns, Let's say, hypothetically,

639
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: I love Sam Donald, IFI was John Schnyder and Peak Hero.

640
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: I'd go, okay, I want the number one overall pick

641
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: I want Myles Garrett, I want another one, and I

642
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: want to two. So you'd have to blow me out

643
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: of the water and then it's on you to pay them.

644
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: But I I don't think it's crazy to think that

645
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: they had the conversation. I actually think it's more more

646
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: than fair to think that they had the conversation with

647
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: California closing down for three more months. Yeah, that's just

648
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: not true. I mean, I'm getting this question a lot.

649
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: I was in the valley like closer to Fresno a

650
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and restaurants were open. Now you

651
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: couldn't sit in them. I didn't have to wear a

652
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: mask in the restaurant. No one was wearing masks. I

653
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: think it just depends. L A is the most over

654
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: the top the Bay Area and just northern California, Sacramento, uh, Fremont,

655
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: some of the East Bay has been opening up. So

656
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: the question is more months, but Arizona opening up. How

657
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: would you feel about teams relocating from a lockdown state

658
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: to an open state. I just think they're trying to

659
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: avoid that at all costs. I also think this and

660
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: this question is probably I'm probably gonna get war mail back.

661
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: It's May four. I mean we're talking about three months away.

662
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: You know, Gavin Newsom said two months ago that of

663
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 1: California is gonna have a coronavirus. He's been a tad off,

664
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: so you know the quote unquote experts have been pretty

665
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: hit or miss. You know, I have been much closer

666
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: to uh to Baker Mayfield in two thousand nineteen than

667
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: they were in two eighteen in terms of accuracy. So

668
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 1: I'm just I think a lot of people are saying

669
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: a lot of things, and uh, I'm just looking at

670
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: the data and the numbers and it's not quite equaling up.

671
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: So I I think we just everything would probably be

672
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: on the table. They have continuency plans now l A

673
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: county that's its own issue, But we're already I'm already

674
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: feeling civil unrest up here. You know, I've seen it

675
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: down there too, and they locked up the beaches. It

676
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: gets difficult, Like I know, just speaking for the state

677
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: of California, you can't charge people of premium to live

678
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: in a large percentage of people move into this town

679
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: to work, so you take their ability to work, and

680
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: then you you force them to stay in their hand

681
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: at their house, which they're paying way more than they

682
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: would in any other state, partly just because it's California,

683
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: and then they're not allowed to do anything. And then

684
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: you go, well, I can't get sick if I'm the

685
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: forty year old guy you're not allowing me to work.

686
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: I have to stay inside. Maybe I've lost my job.

687
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: Like you start creating a lot of problems, and I

688
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: know social media, it's just like it's one side versus

689
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: the other side. There's a lot of gray area with

690
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: these things. If you stop allowing people to work. Most

691
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 1: people are not rich. Most people live paycheck to paycheck.

692
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: Most people need a job to pay the bills, to

693
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 1: feed their children, to feed themselves, to pay the rent.

694
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: This is starting to get the basic necessities of life,

695
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: and it's becoming a complicated issue. It's becoming so political

696
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: and it's not political, like when like if you're pro

697
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: the economy, it's like mega, no, I just I'm rooting

698
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: for the guy that runs a local pizza shop to

699
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: be able to pay his rent. I don't know when

700
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: that became political. People wonder why social media and Twitter

701
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: to me, Twitter and I listen. I've always loved Twitter.

702
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: It's starting to have a Facebook of four or five

703
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: years ago feel it's a toxic, fake place. It is

704
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: not a real world. Why do my text messages look

705
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: so much different than my Twitter timeline? My text messages

706
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: are just real, real people texting me their actual thoughts.

707
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: My Twitter timeline is just fake. A lot of media

708
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: members who are just so extreme. Most humans, whether it's politically,

709
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: whether it's whatever, are not that extreme. Most people just

710
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: want to go to work. I want to raise our children,

711
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: want people to be safe, want to have a little

712
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: fun on the weekends, want to go to their job

713
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: and not get fired. Like I think we're kind of

714
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: overthinking this. Well, most people aren't. Because if you're listening

715
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: to me and don't spend all your time on Twitter,

716
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: you realize how fake of a world that is. See's

717
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: I try not to talk about the Corona because I

718
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: get worked up and it starts to piss me off. There,

719
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: Like people are rooting for just to stay locked up forever.

720
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: I don't understand why you would root for, Like, no

721
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: one wants anyone to die. People don't want people to

722
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: go unemployed, Like we can it can all be under

723
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: kind of one umbrella, Like can we kind of develop

724
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: a solution. It went from flattening the curve to like

725
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: just lock it down forever, Like it's not really the

726
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: way it works here in this uh, in this whole

727
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: country we call America. We you know, we kind of

728
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: depended on the businesses to pay the taxes to keep

729
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 1: the government going. You know it's like this, These aren't

730
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: hot takes, These are just actual realities of life. Can

731
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: you shut some light into the Dak Prescott situation? In

732
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: my opinion, he's not a top quarterback. I think the

733
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys would be foolish to hand him and make a

734
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: contract for me. He is comparable to a Nick Foles,

735
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: who has more playoff wins at twenty million per I

736
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: get the concept of leverage, but who exactly are the

737
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys bigging against? His greatest strength was his cost control

738
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: draft position, which able the Cowboys to build their roster otherways. Thoughts,

739
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: I like him a little more than you uh think of.

740
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't name fifteen quarterbacks better than Dak Prescott.

741
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: Could you start naming guys like Kirk Cousins? And it's

742
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: just not the fact Dak somewhere between ten to fifteen.

743
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: Now is he a top seven eight quarterback? And no

744
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: do I like paying a top non top seven eight

745
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: quarterback thirty five million dollars A or no? I do not.

746
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 1: Look what happened to the Rams. I put Jared Goff

747
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: right there with Dak Prescott in that little range. They

748
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 1: overpaid him and they get hurt and they can't maintain

749
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: their dominance if you overpay Russell Wilson. I mean, you

750
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: can't overpay Russell Wilson. He makes thirty five million dollars.

751
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: No big deal, you pay up in the prime Aaron

752
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers million dot No big deal. You pay Dak Prescott

753
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars. You've got problems, just call the RAMS.

754
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: So I don't know exactly what the solution is. I

755
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: think it's a very complicated situation. Uh, but yeah, I

756
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: couldn't pay him that much money. But I don't know.

757
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: Like that, I don't know who they're bidding against, because

758
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: I don't see them betting against like that's my if

759
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: they if they rescinded the franchise tag, who would I like?

760
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: Who would offer him huge money? I don't know. So

761
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm a big U c l A fan. And although

762
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: we are slowly improving as a team, the big push

763
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: to eventually get into the playoffs is not closed. If

764
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: you were the U c l A A D, what

765
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: changes would you make? Also, will COVID nineteen and the

766
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: possible to lay of the season give coaches on the

767
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: hot seat a little more time to seal their fate. Listen,

768
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna sound like I'm biased because this guy indirectly

769
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: fired me once upon a time. It's not. I'm non emotional.

770
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: My life has never been better ever since I left

771
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. Uh. And at one point in time, this

772
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: guy was a really good coach. He was taking the

773
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: world by storm. He was taking the football world by storm.

774
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: He was really good. He's lost his fastball and his

775
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: couple of years at U c l A have been

776
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: a train wreck. The first move I would make would

777
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: be fire Chip Kelly. You can't win with Chip Kelly.

778
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 1: The guy has mailed it in. He doesn't try in recruiting.

779
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: His scheme is outdated now, he doesn't really like what

780
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: does he do. As a point of difference, his coaching

781
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: staff is atrocious. I mean, his defensive coordinator is a joke.

782
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: It's one of his good buddies is a defensive line coach.

783
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: They got calling the coverages. Uh. I would fire Chip Kelly.

784
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he's made for the l A mark.

785
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: It's just a bad fit, and I would try to

786
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,959
Speaker 1: hire someone else. Now, at the end of the day,

787
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: U c l A is not some powerhouse. They're an

788
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 1: eight nine win team on good years. So I think

789
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: you just kind of have to come to grips with Yeah,

790
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: we're probably we're not gonna go to college football playoffs

791
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: because we're not a college football playoff type program. But

792
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: if we can win nine games compete together in the

793
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: rose ball, it would be very That would be good.

794
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: I have a question based off something you said on

795
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: last Thursday's pot. You mentioned that teams might go fourteen

796
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: and two man up going twelve and four because the

797
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: lack of the off season. Does that mean crappy teams

798
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: like the Redskins and the Jazz will be more competitive

799
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: or worse? My guesses the Redskins are probably a four

800
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: or five win team, but with the quarantine I expect

801
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: to in fourteen. That's a good question. I would factor

802
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: in new coaches or might struggle. And this, I mean

803
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: this is where the Cowboys. It's weird. You're like, yeah,

804
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: they got a good roster, they got, but they got

805
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: a new coach. You have no offseason, You're implementing new schemes.

806
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 1: You don't even know your head coach. I mean Ron Rivera,

807
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: Jack del Really they have entire new coaching staff, everything

808
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: has changed. Dwayne Haskins has played not very much in

809
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. So yeah, I would say from the from

810
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: the Redskins standpoint, Ron Rivera is clearly a really good coach,

811
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: and I think they have a solid staff. Actually, the

812
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: Redskins don't have a bad roster, but there's just gonna

813
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: be so many moving parts. They had no offseason. I

814
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: would just have no expectations. I would just look for

815
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: as the season goes on, we play harder, we're competitive.

816
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: I don't think it's really fair for in the Jaguars.

817
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: Who knows, you know. I just the Jaguars just always lose.

818
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: I heard you mentioned a couple of weeks ago actor

819
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: you felt Isaiah Simmons could end up being a bust

820
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: dude advanced Joseph's limitations as a coordinator. But as a

821
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: Cards fan, I have a hard I had to watch

822
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: us get absolutely shredded by tight ends all last season.

823
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: I believe we surrendered a league wide leading fifteen touchdowns

824
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: to the position. My God does that. There is the

825
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: fact that Simmons is six four and runs a four

826
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: three forty make you feel good about his ability to

827
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: defend against tight ends. If he only improves our defense

828
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: in that capacity. You feel like that will end up

829
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: a bust As a Niners homer, you have to admit

830
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: the fact that is the same heights as George Kittle

831
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: is a little scary. Yeah, I mean I would imagine

832
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: he will just follow George Kittle around and follow Holli story,

833
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen around and follow Higbee and whoever the tight

834
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: ends are for the rams around. So yeah, his, as

835
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: someone in the league told me, his best immediate plug

836
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: and play attribute would just be to cover a tight end. Man, demand,

837
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: now do you put him right over the tight end

838
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, because if George Kittle's run blocking, He's

839
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: gonna toss him around ound right, Uh, and convanced Joseph

840
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: scheme him to be able to kind of follow him around.

841
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you're right, like that should be

842
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: an immediate skill that he can transition to do. Just

843
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: run with George Kittle down, you know, the seam on

844
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: out routes and then just kind of mirror him. So yeah,

845
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: if he can do that, that is a huge, huge bonus.

846
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: But this is where I get back to there's a

847
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: lot going on. Are they moving them all over the place.

848
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: What are they ask him to do? It's just simple.

849
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: He's just gonna line up over the tight end and

850
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: cover the tight end. Because he easy to say that

851
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 1: out loud, but we all know that's not exactly how

852
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: things happen, especially with a guy like that. Think about

853
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: the honey Badger, you know, who would kind of be

854
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: his cop in the sense of this hybrid. They move

855
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 1: the honey Badger all over the place when he was younger.

856
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: Now he kind of just place in space, but back

857
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: in the day he was everywhere. He still kind of is.

858
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: But remember young honey Badger on the Cardinals. Is that

859
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: what they're gonna ask Isaiah him as it do? That's

860
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: asking him to do a lot. Do you think Dak

861
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: gets beat out for the starting job? No, I don't.

862
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's better than Andy Dalton, And you know, in fairness,

863
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: I always kind of liked Andy Dalton. I wanted to

864
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: ask your honest opinion on the outlook of the Bengals

865
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: in the upcoming season. I see all the analysts out

866
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: there belittling them. Do their pass and I get it

867
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: it's not a successful one. But this offseason they've really

868
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: stepped things up. Being the third highest spending team in

869
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: free agency, changed the guard was Zach Taylor instead of

870
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: being stubborn and keeping Marvin Lewis. They're trying to change

871
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: the narrative, and I was wondering if that all gives

872
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: them more optimistic outlook for the season and then two

873
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: or three wins, like analysts are saying, or is just

874
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: be much of the same thing and it doesn't mean much.

875
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: Well again that you have a brand new quarterback who

876
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: was a rookie with no offseason, so it's gonna be

877
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: asking him to do a lot in a short period

878
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: of time. You have a j Green returning off injury,

879
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: who's when he's health. He has been a really good player.

880
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is a good player. Uh, their offensive line

881
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: was pretty bad last year. I know, like you said,

882
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: they did sign find some people in free agency. He

883
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: would be my main questions. I don't know if Zach

884
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: Taylor can coach or not, Like, is Zach Taylor any good?

885
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: There's a chance he is, and there's just chance he's.

886
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: What if they do win two or three wins, you

887
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: change the coach again for for Joe Burrow or do

888
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: you just write it out. I don't necessarily have an

889
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: answer there, But these are questions, you know, I just

890
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: throw it out. They're clearly the fourth best, least talented

891
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: team in their division, right, The Ravens, the Steelers, the

892
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: Browns just have dramatically more impact players. Now, anytime you

893
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: take a guy number one overall quarterback, if there are

894
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: glimpses that he can be really good in two or

895
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: three years, or franchise could be changed. You know that

896
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: you've drafted Carson Palmer, you can trade your franchise. Now.

897
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: It might not happen immediately. Remember Peyton Manning wasn't good

898
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: as a rookie. You know, Andrew luck was kind of

899
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: an outlier, came in immediately they won, So you could

900
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: win three or four games and actually have a lot

901
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: of hope. I remember in two thousand fourteen, Khalil Mack

902
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: and Derek Car's rookie year, the Raiders were oh and ten,

903
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: finished the season three and thirteen, and it felt like

904
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: they accomplished a lot. So you actually can accomplish a

905
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: lot by losing, as long as your young players developed,

906
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: and your coach has to show something, which willie I

907
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: don't know if he will, it won't, but I honestly

908
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: don't know enough about him to have like some hard

909
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: core take on Zach Taylor. But I like Joe Burrow

910
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, who doesn't. Uh, it's basically the franchise,

911
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: just on the guy's shoulders. If he becomes a perennial

912
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: pro bowler, you know, I think it's kind of Tony Romo.

913
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: If he becomes Tony Romo, you're being pretty good shape.

914
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: If he's If you whiffed, you're screwed. Appreciate everyone listening.

915
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,719
