Speaker 1: chance to record till way later in the day and

4
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: I sat down at my desk and I was looking

Speaker 1: at my dms. I said, you know what, I have

Speaker 1: so many questions in the mail bag. Let's just do

Speaker 1: That's what we're doing, and just a massive, like an

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: hour long mail bag, and that'll be today's show. Well,

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: we'll have some other stuff obviously as the week goes on.

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: And clearly on Thursday night, Big Game, forty nine ers

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: who are like a you know, like a medical they

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: might as well just bring seven blue tenths to that

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: game because I don't even know if they're gonna be

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: able to feel a roster playing the Rams in theories

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: be a big game, but the Niners are injured and

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: the Rams look like pretty good team right now, so

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: we will react to that on Thursday night. I'm actually

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: gonna be in California. Got a buddy getting almost getting married.

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: He's not getting married, he is married with multiple kids.

22
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: He's having his fortieth birthday, so we're doing a blowout

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: party somewhere in Napa, which should be fun. Have a

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: few cocktails, let it flow. But I will be Nothing

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: will change in terms of Thursday Night reacting to the

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: forty nine or in ram game. Fired up for that

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: thing regardless if you know Kyle Shanahan might play quarterback

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers in that thing. But again

Speaker 1: New York to go to Yankee Stadium. If you want

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: to go to one of these baseball games, I highly reckon.

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: If you like sports, you don't even need to be

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: a big baseball fan. I don't watch any baseball anymore.

41
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: I would gladly go to a playoff baseball game. There's

42
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: an intensity there's just a drama. There's the whole crowds

43
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: hanging on every single pitch. I've been to a ton

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: of playoff baseball games in my day. I highly recommend it.

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Game time football obviously, college pro concerts, comedy shows, they're

Speaker 1: lowest price care tape. Let's go rapid fire. We will

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: start with Damian. If the Bengals part ways was Zach Taylor,

54
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: could you see them going after Brian Flores. They need

55
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: a defensive coach to tweak the defense and he can

56
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: let Joe Burrow run the offense. Fair question. I would

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: say last year, if they would have fired Zach Taylor

58
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: after nine to eight, it would have been one of

59
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: the most coveted jobs in recent memory. It would have

60
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: been people lined up just because Joe Burrow that offense.

61
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: You just don't get the opportunity to coach a guy

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: like Joe Burrow very often, I do wonder if looking

63
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: at that gig, now, Joe another major injury. The way

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: they've allocated the resources, the roster's not great. You got

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: to deal with the owner factoring into it'll be interesting.

66
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Now to me, Brian Flores has proven to be an

67
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: excellent defensive coordinator. Obviously, his defense is in Miami when

68
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: it was the head coach is good. He was awful

69
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: with offense. He didn't treat the quarterback well. He copied

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: the Belichick thing, just be a complete asshole to the guy,

71
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: and he treated the offensive staff. I mean, everyone couldn't

72
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: stand the guy. So I just think that's a major

73
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: question mark because in twenty twenty five, listen, defense is

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: really important. But like, if I have question marks with

75
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: your ability to deal with the offense, specifically the quarterback,

76
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: it would be a non starter for me. So to me,

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: that's something that obviously Kevin O'Connell is a quarterback I

78
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: would imagine. But the Belichick guys have all proven I mean,

79
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels did the same thing. Now, Brian was a

80
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: better head coach than Josh McDaniels, but they just become

81
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: head coaches and they just can't deal with anybody. It's

82
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: like a tried and true formula, all of them because

83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: they just copy the guy. Now. Flora spent some time

84
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: around Tomlin, spent some time around Kevin O'Connell. Maybe he's changed,

85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: but honestly, if I owned a team, I would have

86
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: just a no Belichick guy rule. We just wouldn't mess

87
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: with them. That just would be a non starter. And

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: they've proven, you know, Marvin Lewis was like, they've hired

89
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: good coaches before. But I don't know. I think the Bengals.

90
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: If you're a Bengals fan right now, you gotta feel

91
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: a little cursed. I would say Zach Taylor's in trouble,

92
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: and I don't even blame him, like he ain't picking

93
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: the players for the back. How do you feel about

94
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks roster and what would it take for them to

95
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: be considered a legit contender? Well, I watched some Week

96
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: one against the forty nine Ers. First time, you know,

97
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: start for the brand new quarterback, new offensive coordinator. Obviously,

98
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: they've been really good since they beat the crap out

99
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: of the Steelers. Watch that game. They were just humiliating

100
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: the Saint so I kind of stopped paying attention after

101
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: like a quarter and a half, and last week being

102
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: in New York City on the Thursday night game, it

103
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: was just I was trying to kind of pay attention

104
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: at this party, but I didn't get a chance to

105
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: lock in. Obviously, they were up I think was a

106
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: seventeen to three late in the game, and Kyler scored

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: a couple of late touchdowns and then they kicked the

108
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: game winning field goal. But they I bet on them

109
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: to win the division. And if you win the division,

110
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: meaning you get a home game, especially if you're in

111
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: a place like Seattle where the home game is really loud, Obviously,

112
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be hard for them to win the division,

113
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: just like it is for most teams, right especially I

114
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: mean the Rams are three and one. Let's assume the

115
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: Rams beat the forty nine ers. Like I think the

116
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: Rams are looking like a thirteen ish twelve thirteen win team,

117
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: So that's kind of Seattle just has to hold pace

118
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: and then when they Lamb beat them. So yeah, I mean,

119
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: if you win the division, meaning you have you beat

120
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: the Rams, especially had to head. I would like their

121
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: chances in the playoffs. They have extremely fast defense. They

122
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: have an excellent head coach, you know, in terms of

123
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, and then offensively, like this scheme has

124
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: been proven to work and Sam's playing really well. So

125
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: nice win, short week on the road. Yeah, I mean

126
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 1: I'm high in Seattle Vikings fan here. If JJ doesn't

127
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: work out by the end of the season and the

128
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: Bengals are still not making the playoffs, would you send

129
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: everything you have to the Bengals to trade for Burrow.

130
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: I'd send them three first three seconds and a player

131
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: if needed. The Vikings roster is good enough to win

132
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: and we just don't have a top quarterback. I think

133
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: if you told me that Burrow had just had the

134
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: season that he had and was completely healthy and they

135
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: won like six games and he wanted out, I do

136
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: believe that injury has to terrify you. He has had

137
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: a major knee injury. He's had the wrist injury or

138
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: hand injury or whatever that was a couple of years ago,

139
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: and then he had this year the toe. And you

140
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: could say they're all a little random, but they are

141
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: three pretty significant injuries. They've essentially ended a season each time,

142
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: and I would have a hard time trading a freight,

143
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: like if you told me I would you know he's

144
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: not available. But like Herbert no hesitation obviously a Lamar

145
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: or Mahomes or Allan no hesitation, I think the borrow

146
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: thing with the injuries now has to terrify you. So

147
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: could you take the risk? Sure? But I do wonder

148
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: because the GM and the coach picked JJ, which is

149
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: rare for this time. But I do think he would

150
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: get three years. The shitty part for JJ's year one

151
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: didn't even count because he didn't even play. Nothing happened.

152
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: So he basically gets this year and next year, which

153
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: is tough because you're spending a bunch of money. You

154
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: have a ready made team to win. In theory, they're

155
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: just in a weird situation and it's got a sting

156
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: if spam Darnold. You know, it's one thing. If he's

157
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: winning fourteen games for you, well, if he goes to

158
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: Seattle and they win twelve games, they're a playoff team.

159
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: Even if they don't win the division. They win eleven games,

160
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: they're a wildcard team. You're gonna regret it. You just

161
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: are a question for the pod. McVeigh and Shanahan are

162
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: often compared since they are in the same division and

163
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: good friends as Sean worked under him. However, I think

164
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: the big difference between them is a Super Bowl win.

165
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Now that Mick they got his in twenty one and

166
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: went through the disaster in twenty two, he seems to

167
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: be more free and just loves coaching and team and

168
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: kicking ass. It's almost as if they're playing with house

169
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: money compared to Kyle, who has gotten close but still

170
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have the ring. He frankly just seems kind of

171
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: as if if it's wearing on him, his best chances

172
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: it appears to be behind him. The forty nine ers

173
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: can't seem to stay healthy and their roster isn't as

174
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: stacked as it once was. I mean, if you just

175
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: physically look, he looks tired. However, there is a large

176
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: age gap between him and McVeigh, so what might be

177
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: a part of it? And Sean, I got to imagine,

178
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: has had some work done since being in Hollywood. He

179
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: definitely does. He looks the exact same as he did

180
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: at thirty at thirty nine years old, I mean the

181
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: exact same now. I text with a I worked one

182
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: of their coaches is married to a girl lady, you know,

183
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: she's like a mother of three that I know pretty

184
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I knew her much better, probably fifteen years ago,

185
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: but I still we follow each other on Instagram DM

186
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: every once in a while about like I just we

187
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: just bs. And she congratulated me on my kids or

188
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: my future kid. My wife's pregnant, and she had laughed

189
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: at the something I had shared about him, And I'm like,

190
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: is he like on HGH or something like what She's like?

191
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: He does eat really healthy and he takes really good

192
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: care of himself. Obviously he's got good genetics. I mean,

193
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: he's just a good looking guy, but I think he

194
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: is pretty health conscious in Los Angeles. I think Kyle,

195
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: I also think your personality is your personality. McVeigh is

196
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: much more of an optimistic uplifter where you know, kind

197
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: of like McVeigh and I'm just gonna use these these

198
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: are not perfect parallels, but it's more Pete Carroll, right,

199
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: He's more positive, he's more uplifting. Kyle personality is I mean, again,

200
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: it's not saying he's Belichick, but he's much more grumpy

201
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: than a lot of these guys. Like I've been around

202
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, a little happier. You know, it doesn't mean

203
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: you can't have bad days. It doesn't mean that you're

204
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: not serious and like Stern, but like over the course

205
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: of the year, I don't think Kyle's mister happy, go lucky.

206
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: It's just not his personality. Like your personality is your personality.

207
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: And like you said, he's a little older. I mean,

208
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: what's called forty five years old. I think Kevin O'Connell's

209
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: a good example. I think Kevin O'Connell's a pretty optimistic guy. Right. Laflora,

210
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: who you know is he looks like he's got some

211
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: work done as well. Good looking dude. I would say

212
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Laflora leans a little like negative, which I appreciate. Like

213
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: my natural inclination is to be negative, and I've really

214
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: had to work on trying to be more positive to

215
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: And I'm not even talking about like this, I'm just

216
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: talking about in general and life. Get it from my dad,

217
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's something hereditary probably, But even

218
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: though my grandpa would he his dad was a very

219
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: optimistic human. It's just I just think you're wired like

220
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: you're wired and uh yeah, I mean I think factor

221
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: in alcohol, factor in no sleep, factor in age, stress,

222
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: but I hear you. I do feel there's a looseness

223
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: with Sean. I mean it's team's good that helps, But

224
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: I also think, which I really respect, we would have

225
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: been worse off if he had taken all the money

226
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: from Amazon and called games, even though he probably have

227
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: been really good, but like we would have lost football

228
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: fans because having him involved with the team is big.

229
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: It's important, Like we need coaching personalities, coaching stars. It

230
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: matters to have Jim Harwall back in the NFL. It's

231
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: cool that Dan Campbell's become a big deal in a store, right,

232
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: It's awesome to have this legendary guy and Andy Reid

233
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: be at the peak of his profession and then all

234
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: these other kind of younger offensive coaches trying to figure

235
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: it out, and O'Connell and Lafleur and Kyle and trying

236
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: to win a super Bowl. So it's like, I'm glad

237
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: that he denied it. And like you said, like I've

238
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: never really had adversity since I've been the head coach,

239
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: and they lost all those games and it was wearing

240
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: on him. He was like gonna have a kid, But

241
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: like Tom mcvay's meant to coach like that, that's his skill.

242
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a great evening. I never submit

243
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: topics on podcasts, but I'm watching the Jets and I

244
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: can't understand how people think Fields is the problem. Oline sucks,

245
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: play calling sucks, the defense sucks, and yet Fields is

246
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: playing his heart out. I think he could have been

247
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: a koc type revived quarterback if he leaves the Jets.

248
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? One thing Fields has proven over

249
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: the years is like mentally he's really tough and he

250
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: can be and he has been in some really crappy

251
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: situations and he keeps battling and trying. He is not

252
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: mister like. He's the opposite of tap out, not giving

253
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: you everything he has. I have a lot of respect

254
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: for the way he's handled his career. I don't think

255
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: he's the most natural thrower of the football, and I

256
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: don't mean like ability to actually throw the ball. Like

257
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: he does have a powerful arm. He just has a

258
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: powerful I mean he has a powerful arm, but I

259
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: don't think you like sitting in the pocket, Like just

260
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: just a feel and a rhythm to his game doesn't

261
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: really exist. Now, he's an incredible athlete, so he can

262
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: take off. So I think he's he's got some flaws

263
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: that are hard to overcome. Can he be revived to

264
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: be some stud I wouldn't go that far, but he's

265
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: gonna play in the NFL for a long time. And

266
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm with you. You watch the Jets. I mean, there's

267
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: just the penalties, the preestaft penalties. There's an organizational like

268
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: character that needs to be reset, revamped and started over.

269
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: And right now the Raiders have that too, And Aaron

270
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: Glenn's coming from a place where they revitalize the freaking

271
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: Lions and he's realizing, like this is not an easy

272
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: culture to flip. I think Spy Tech and Pete Carroll

273
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: are learning that too now. I also think the Jets

274
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: roster's really overrated. I mean, I think SaaS Gardner is

275
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: like the most overrated player in the league, which is

276
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: an indictment on the Jets. They did not need to

277
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: pay him. I would have traded him. When should the

278
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: Browns start Dylan Gabriel? This defense is ridiculously talented, and

279
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: I think we need a spark on offense. Do you

280
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: think Shador will see the field? I saw a report

281
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: about an hour ago that all indication is that Dylan

282
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Gabriel is going to start against Minnesota this week in Europe,

283
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: which listen, Flacco, I'm honestly surprised he made it this far.

284
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, I Chadors playing this year. I would imagine.

285
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: I think there is going to be a contingent and

286
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be pretty sad rooting against Dylan Gabriel and

287
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: being like, how is this guy playing? And listen, I

288
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: was not a fan of Dylan Gabriel as an NFL prospect,

289
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: but I also think the discussion around him. People talk

290
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: about Dylan Gabriel if you just turn on the shows,

291
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: especially Dion's buddies, like how is Chadur not playing over

292
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: this guy? Dylan Gabriel started at Oklahoma and then he

293
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: transferred to Oregon where he started again. Let me repeat

294
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and Oregon, and last year Oregon, up until Ohio

295
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: State beat their breaks off in the Rose Bowl, was

296
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: widely considered one of, if not the best team in

297
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: the country, the Oregon Ducks. He was our starter and

298
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: more the kid that just looked incredible against Penn State

299
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: and is having a great year. Was his backup couldn't

300
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: beat him out like that happened? Right, So I think

301
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: Gabriel Again, I don't like him as a prospect. Doesn't

302
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: have the greatest arm in short but in terms of

303
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: like his resume, it is pretty freaking impressive. Like won

304
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: a lot of big games played against the big boys

305
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: and beat them at Oklahoma and at Oregon, So I

306
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: think he now the NFL is a different ballgame. I

307
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: don't really like either one of these guys as prospects.

308
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a tough year for them all.

309
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: I think the Browns offense is gonna be just atrocious.

310
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: I think they're both screwed. I'd be stunned if either

311
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: of them looks good. To be honest with you, the

312
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys Packer game ending sucked. We need overtime rules. How

313
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: can the NFL look at tie games as an enjoyable

314
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: experience because the tie doesn't happen to the last possible second,

315
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: So throughout the game it's you know, especially toward the

316
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: end the fourth quarter overtime, it's kind of a riveting

317
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: experience because you're just thinking who's gonna win. So when

318
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: the tie happens, as it did in this last game,

319
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: when Love bounces the ball off the linebacker's back, you

320
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: don't think the tie is gonna happen, So listen, do

321
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 1: I agree that the ending of a tie is, as

322
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: they would say, like kissing your sister. I've never had

323
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: a sister, and I would imagine you don't want to

324
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: kiss her, But I don't know what the analogy for

325
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: those of us without sisters are. It obviously sucks. It's

326
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: not a fun experience, but it only happens at the end,

327
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: and then everyone complains about it throughout the game. You're

328
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: kind of like, who's gonna win this thing.

329
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,360

361
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: With the Bears, Titans, Commanders building or about to build

362
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: new domed stadiums. How do you feel about the trend

363
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: of almost every new stadium construction being a dome. Do

364
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: you think football will miss the bad weather games? And

365
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: do you think it will be a major disadvantage or

366
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: excuse me, a major advantage for the remaining teams that

367
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: still play in the elements. Well, the latter part of

368
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: your question one thousand percent, assuming that who would those

369
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: teams be? The Bears and Commanders are consistently good, you

370
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: start playing in a dome as those teams, Well, when

371
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: you have to go on the road to Philly to

372
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: who are the who are the other teams in the NFC?

373
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: If the Giants ever got good, who would have bad

374
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: weather in the NFC? The Vikings are indoors, the Lions

375
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: are indoors. Forty nine ers Rams don't have bad weather.

376
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: I guess Seattle can rain. You know, the AFC has

377
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: much more teams in the inclement situation. The Titans. I

378
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: know it gets cold. Even though when I mean I

379
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: got married in Nashville where the stadium, I mean I

380
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: got married right across the bridge. It's not exactly Kansas

381
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: City or right or Baltimore or Pittsburgh. But I do agree.

382
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't love that now, Like I get if you're

383
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: Tennessee or your Chicago or your Washington, you want to

384
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: host super Bowls, and Tennessee specifically, it is really cold

385
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: and could be snowing. Well, if it's a dome like Broadway,

386
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: you're hosting the super Bowl. Same thing with Chicago, I

387
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: mean she could Yago. I can't imagine in late January,

388
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: early February, like doesn't get any colder anywhere in America.

389
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: So who hosted a super Bowl? I remember my buddies

390
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: when they worked for the Eagles, the Super Bowl was

391
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: hosted in Minnesota. So I think that's a huge element

392
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: of it. I don't love it. I love the elements

393
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: in football. To me, there's nothing like watching I don't know,

394
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: a game in Kansas City, a game in Buffalo. It's

395
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: just a huge part of what we love about football.

396
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, part of the legend is like, damn, they

397
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: just went on the road. Sorry, I'm trying to turn

398
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: off this TV behind me and won a road game

399
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: in the freezing cold. And it does feel like there's

400
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: an element of that that's about to end, which sucks.

401
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: Do you think the NFL could eventually make sixty plus

402
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: yard field goals worth four points? Love that if they

403
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: did that tomorrow. I don't think anyone can plain if

404
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: you hit a sixty one yard field goal, does anyone say, yeah,

405
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: you shouldn't get four points? I have no problem with that.

406
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: I also think that adds to then you know, Brandon Audrey,

407
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 1: I'm not sure when his contract is coming up. Brandon

408
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: Aubrey Audrey, I am I screwing up his name? Think

409
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: of his Yeah it's Audrey, No, it's Aubrey, Brandon Aubrey,

410
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: He's thirty years old. He I'm sure is about to

411
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: come up for a contract. I heard someone talking about

412
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: it that his contract negotiation next year. Well, if a

413
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: sixty yard is worth four points, I mean if he's

414
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: a four or five million dollar player, is he a

415
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: six to seven million dollar player? I mean he's got

416
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: to make a lot of money, especially now they got

417
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: it with Mike A bouncing. Curious what your thoughts were

418
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: on the sophomore slumps. My theory is anytime a quarterback

419
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: has a breakout year, rookie or not, the league pays

420
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: more attention and respects their game. For example, after Hert's

421
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: first year going to the Super Bowl, team started to

422
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: respect his deep ball way more, leading to a slump

423
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: in production. I think that's just the way society works

424
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: in any one of our industries. The moment you gain momentum,

425
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: your competition pays more attention to you and tries to

426
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: do things to counteract that. I just think that's business.

427
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: One on one, when you're a nobody and you're a

428
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: guy kind of sleep you know, kind of people are

429
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: sleeping on, flying under the radar. It's like, here's this guy,

430
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: no need to worry, and then all of a sudden

431
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: they start stealing your business, or in football, they start

432
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: beating you. You're like, what the fuck, No, this is

433
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: not gonna happen right. Most people did not, and I

434
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: was guilty of this. I think Jalen Hurts. I would

435
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: never have drafted Jalen Hurts ever, not an any round

436
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: to play quarterback for me. And I'm not alone. Like

437
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: I watch Oklahoma football. I didn't think it was a

438
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: very good player relative to being an NFL prospect, and

439
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: so most people don't take them seriously. And then all

440
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden he starts beating you. You're like, what

441
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: do we gotta do? Look at this year, people already respect.

442
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: But once you win the Super Bowl and you kick

443
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: everyone's ass, people are throwing the kitchen sink. Think how

444
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: much more like that extra hour? It's like, should I

445
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: go home it's nine o'clock? If I'm a defensive coach, No,

446
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: I want to beat the Eagles because if I beat

447
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles, if I beat Tom Brady, if I beat

448
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, you know, if I beat Steph Curry, Like,

449
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: it's a big deal for me. Like, we get a

450
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: lot of credit. So you beat Bryce Young in the

451
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, right, who cares? I three and out takes

452
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: a advertiser away from pardon my take. They're like, hey,

453
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: we got X number of dollars. We're gonna give it

454
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: to him instead of you guys. It's a big fucking

455
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: win for me. People start paying attention. Question for the

456
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: pod hearing all the trash talk Rory and the rest

457
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: of the euros received, is there a restriction on noise

458
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: canceling headphones for golfers? I feel like the bows or

459
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: beats would make killing with that marketing perhaps a bit

460
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: stupid but it would undoubtedly be hilarious to see Rory

461
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: pop in some earbuds, drain a putt and then smile

462
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: at the crowd. Uh shit, yeah, do you work for

463
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: one of these brands? Always be closing. I think part

464
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: of it is, here's the thing in football, in basketball,

465
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: in baseball, especially in the playoffs, when you go on

466
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: the road, you hear bad things, like you hear outrageous things.

467
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: Is it appropriate? Who's to say? Probably not? Would I

468
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: personally do I personally, since I've been in like high

469
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: school or maybe college, could even see myself saying anything

470
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: that even begins to quote unquote cross the line. No,

471
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. But at the Ryder Cup, you know, you

472
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: have a few pops, people start getting really aggressive. You

473
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: get the dude who's you know, making half a mill

474
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: at some hedge fund, who's had about seven Vodkas just

475
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: start saying shit that he would never say anywhere else.

476
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: And it's just part of the environment. I mean, it's

477
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: part of now. I do think there's a line like

478
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: you shouldn't say that, but you can say that at

479
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: a lot of events, like you shouldn't say that, stuff

480
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: gets said, and part of being the competitor and which

481
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: I respect. Honestly, they got better the more shit people

482
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: talk to them, And there can't be enter any better

483
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: feeling in sports, whether it's the Ryder Cup, whether it's

484
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: in football, like think out. Can you imagine some of

485
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: the stuff Georgia fans were yelling at Alabama players or

486
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: Penn State fans that had been drinking all day, or

487
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: saying to some of the organ players, do you know

488
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: how sweet it must have felt when that game hits

489
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: double when the clock heits double zero and you win

490
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: the game. I have no problem with going double middle

491
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: fingers as I'm walking off like that. That's all part

492
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: of sports. Like this is this is not a normal business.

493
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: So I think if you're a player, like I'd want

494
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: to hear it. Now if my wife's around, you're throwing

495
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: drinks on her. Yeah, we got major problems, but like,

496
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: say anything you want to me, and when I win,

497
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say anything I want to you, and anyone

498
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: worth their salt should want that and respect that, like

499
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: I got. I saw some people like how does Rory say?

500
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: They're saying mean stuff to him and then he's screaming

501
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: f you to them. It's like yeah, this is this

502
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: is real life. People swear, people scream at each other,

503
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: people say dumb shit. I was completely like, I'm less

504
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: bothered by any of that than some people. Uh, can

505
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: you speak on the Ryder Cup this week? I love

506
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: the pod. You're the most relatable boys. I'll say this.

507
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: I had been to New York one time and Hoboken

508
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: one time, so my experience in that area was very small.

509
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: And because I'd said this before, I think I said

510
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: this on the Golf podcast because living in Philly, I

511
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: had just naturally hated New York City. You know, I

512
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: was just around all those people, so they like, we

513
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: just hated New York City. And I went back to Manhattan.

514
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: I was blown away. I thought, like, this is in'tcrect.

515
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: I had a good buddy, a guy that my college roommate,

516
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: who was also there. We didn't realize each other were there.

517
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: You know when you when you like live in different cities.

518
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: He lives in Texas, I live in Scottsdale. We had

519
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,239
Speaker 1: no clue each other was going to be there. Right.

520
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: He was there with the client doing some stuff and

521
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: he saw I posted something and yeah, he was getting

522
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: blasted and having a good time and We talked to

523
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: each other that night because he had to I had

524
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: to fly out really early the next day, and he

525
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: was like, I don't think I would survive in this city.

526
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's like Vegas meets a big city. I

527
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: mean never sleeps. You just like I don't even think

528
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: there are just no Like three in the morning is

529
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: not that much different than seven at night. Lights are

530
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: on people everywhere. It's just it's just vibrant. And you know,

531
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: you talk about a place like you get on lines

532
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: like that place is bounced back from whatever the hell

533
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: happened five years ago. I'll promise you that. You just

534
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: look around the commerce that's moving. I mean, I get

535
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: New York City now. I'm not a city guy. I

536
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: like the suburbs. I like my space. I lived in

537
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco for a year. I hated it, and that's

538
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: when San Francisco was booming and clean. It's the space,

539
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: not being able to park, not being able to drive.

540
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: It's not my thing. But I was like, I gotta

541
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: go because my wife loves New York City and she

542
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: like really wanted me to take her. I like, I,

543
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: this is a business trip. It's not it's not for

544
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: that even though you know, closed down the bars, like

545
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: multiple times went to bed at like four am, back

546
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: to back nights. But again, she can't drink. She's pregnant,

547
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: so it just wasn't really the place we were trying

548
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: to lock up deals, and it was just it was incredible.

549
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm a New York City guy. I get it. I

550
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: say the same thing about LA. I grew up in

551
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: northern California. It's like northern California, Northern California. And then

552
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: you get older, you like, go to Newport Beach, you

553
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: go play, you get invited to play, like a country

554
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: club down in Beverly Hills. You're like, listen, I I

555
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: don't want to live here and I have no desire

556
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: and I would not live here. But I you get it,

557
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: like I understand it. Like I mean, this is southern California.

558
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, the weather's so great in California. Yeah, in

559
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: southern California, San Francisco, the weather it's fucking freezing up there.

560
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: The weather is not great in northern California relative to

561
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: southern California. The weather in northern California is way better

562
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: than most of America, but relative Southern California, we got

563
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: family friends that live in San Diego that blows like

564
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: the Bay Area out of the water, you know.

565
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: So it's like as you get older, you get a

566
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: little more. You just get some more life experience. You realize,

567
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: you know, I just hated this because I thought I

568
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: was supposed to, but I kind of like it.

569
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: It. It's hard to go to Newport Beach and not

570
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: go Damn, this place is sick. And I'd say the

571
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: same thing about New York City blown away. It also

572
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: helps you know, last time I was there, I had

573
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: no money. So it's like everything. The one knock is

574
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: it is outrageously priced like it is. I don't don't

575
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: know how anyone affords to do anything. I couldn't have

576
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: lived there in like in my twenties. Haven't seen anyone

577
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: have their take. Have this take. But considering Baker's success

578
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: with his numbers and his clutch nests, do you think

579
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: the Rams regret letting Baker Mayfield go. It's a good question.

580
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: I think.

581
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 3: Of all the hindsights, like it's like, well, it's easy

582
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 3: to say now about Sam Darnold, Well, the Minnesota Vikings

583
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: is not he threw thirty five touchdowns for him you know,

584
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 3: he wasn't very good on the Carolina Panthers.

585
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: Right, Mayfield wasn't very good on the Carolina Panthers. Matt

586
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: Stafford was coming back, So I don't think you can

587
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: play Hindsight's twenty twenty on that. The other thing is

588
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: the Rams have made the playoffs the last two years

589
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: with Matt Stafford. Stafford's been good. I mean, Stafford almost

590
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: beat the Eagles last year in the playoffs, So yeah,

591
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they did. I actually give them more

592
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: respect that they even signed him. A huge fan. Since

593
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens lost on Monday to the Lions, there's a

594
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: lot of chatter about how Lamar needs to throw the

595
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: ball away, and a lot of people are suggesting suggesting

596
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: he's looking to boost his stats. It doesn't make sense

597
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: to me. Lamar is a playmaker. He does this thing

598
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: in the pocket looking for his receivers, and if it's

599
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: not there, he's taken off running. Why would he throw

600
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: the ball away when he can make almost every throw.

601
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: If not, he can beat ninety percent of the players

602
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: in the league with his legs. Ravens never got the

603
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: run game going. Lamar couldn't sit in the pocket. If

604
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: you remember last year our defense was bad. We even

605
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: lost to the goddamn Gardner Minshew Raiders. What are your

606
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Ravens trajectory this year. I think they're screwed. You.

607
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: You can't lose that many defensive players and overcome it

608
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: and you lose Metabouquet for the year. Humphrey and Rokwan

609
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: now are out several games. I don't know the latest.

610
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm recording this on Tuesday on Kyle Vanoy. You just

611
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: can't lose that many impact defensive players, even with the

612
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: culture and as well as you guys have drafted historically

613
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: and sustain it, and you're one to three, you're giving

614
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: up a historic amount of points. I also think your

615
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: team is used to playing good defense because your team

616
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: typically what do you lead the league in rushing or

617
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: top five team in rushing for probably the last five

618
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: or six years. Well, it's hard to run the ball

619
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: and stick with running the ball, separate from Lamar running

620
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: around when you're losing. You're down like twenty to seven,

621
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: right or you're down ten points, and you just it

622
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: kind of forces you to pass. So pardon I was

623
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: saying this to someone the other day. Is that like

624
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: the good teams in the league, the Lions, the Ravens

625
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: over the last several years, trying to think who else.

626
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: Eagles don't really fall under this category. You know, they

627
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: can blow people out. Well, the Lions, they got so

628
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: many playmakers, they're just kind of spreading it around. I

629
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: feel like when they're blowing people out, a lot of

630
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: it is like Lamar and Derrick Henry going nuts in

631
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: the second half. It's like, we're just gonna lean on you,

632
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: run on your ass. And obviously Lamar has proven to

633
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: be a high end thrower as well, but like they

634
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: just run the ball down your throat. Well that part,

635
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you look up in

636
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens have won forty two to thirteen. You're not

637
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: running the ball when you're down twelve points or fifteen points. Well,

638
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen with your defense. It sucks. So,

639
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: as Bill Simmons would say, it might be a year

640
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: from hell. It might be it was the Niners last year.

641
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 1: It could be you guys this year. I was listening

642
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: to your recent pod and you included Troy Aikman on

643
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: your list of no doubt about It Hall of Famers

644
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: but he was objectively very bad in terms of stats.

645
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: When did the Hall of Fame or the NFL in

646
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: general turn into a Quarterback's Win Award. Love to hear

647
00:34:55,200 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: your thoughts. I'll be honest. I mean, I I was

648
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: pretty young when Troy was at his peak, and to me,

649
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: just watching Troy, I felt like he was really good. Now,

650
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: if I had watched Troy in his peak as me

651
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: right now, maybe I would view him differently. So there

652
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: may be is a little like nostalgic element of the

653
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: way that I view him. But I hear you. I mean,

654
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: statistically he doesn't compare to some people. I do think

655
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: people that played him, and I've been around people that

656
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: played him, think very highly of him. I think he

657
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: was a really really good player. Now relative, was Steve

658
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: Young a better individual player than Troy Aikman, Yes, was

659
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: Brett fav an individual player than Troy Aikman? Yes? Was

660
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly. Now, obviously he won more than these guys,

661
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: but I do think he's viewed as a really really

662
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: good player. They had a running offense as well. What

663
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: are some quarterbacks that, if they had been drafted into

664
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 1: a better situation, would have worked, I asked this as

665
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: I see what happened with Baker, and I'm worried about Dart.

666
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of players. You look

667
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: at Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh got Alex Smith five or

668
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: six years into his career, and there was a point,

669
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: I think the year before Jim got there, the entire

670
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: stadium in San Francisco chanted Derek, not Derek, David Carr's

671
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: name because they thought Alex Smith sucked that bad and

672
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: David Carr was the backup. And then he got there

673
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: and Alex led him to the didn't lead them, but

674
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: was their starting quarterback for a team to win the

675
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: NFC Championship and became a playoff quarterback for the next

676
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: seven eight years, right with Andy Reid. So I think

677
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys that kind of fault.

678
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones a good example. What if Daniel Jones had

679
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: been drafted by I don't know, like Patrick Mahomes didn't exist.

680
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: Andy Reid got him, Guess what, he'd be good, you know?

681
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: And I think you go to places that are chaotic,

682
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: that don't know what they're doing, that have a lot

683
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: of staff turnover because part of it, and I the

684
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: one thing that we never discussed in that Brian day

685
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: ball Joe Shane hard knocks is we spent so much

686
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: time on the free agency Saquon Barkley. Remember when they

687
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: hired the defensive coordinator and Brian Davile didn't even know him.

688
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, look at his stats. And then they

689
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: started doing like draft prep and they just asked, like,

690
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: what players do you like? Who do you want us

691
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: to draft? You guys just hire this guy? Like does

692
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: your organization have philosophies? Is your head coach at philosophies?

693
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: Or are you just gonna do what an assistant do

694
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: you don't even know before you hired him three months ago?

695
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: What's going? That's that's chaos. That's not a successful organization.

696
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: Like the Eagles when they hire coaches, don't just start

697
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: doing exactly what they want them to do. Why because

698
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be good business. The Ravens have draft who

699
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: Assi and Dacostev won it for twenty five years. Obviously

700
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: Hardbob plays a role. But yeah, I mean, I think

701
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to overcome chaos. And I would say this

702
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: about the Giants. Your star receiver tears his acl your

703
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 1: owner is now I mean i'd have to. I didn't

704
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: reread the entire statement, but did he say he was

705
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: going into chemotherapy? So he's gonna be obviously a little

706
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: mia battling cancer. You have a coach and a GM

707
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: that would presumed to be on the hot seat, Like,

708
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: that's just a chaotic situation. You know, Tennessee is a

709
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: good example. It's like, is Brian Callahan gonna make it

710
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: through the season? So you just you kept Brian Callahan

711
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: to know your team might not be that good to

712
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: then fire him and then start a new Like, that's

713
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: just not a healthy organization. It's just not so. I mean,

714
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: I would say these two rookies this year, you know,

715
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: I know Shador didn't want to go to the Ravens. Well,

716
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: gods speed with the Browns. Tell me how that goes.

717
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: Promise you probably not. Well, I'm a Bears fan and

718
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: I was curious what your thought was about Colin Stake.

719
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: The Bears trade DJ Moore with Rome breaking out and

720
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: all their other weapons, do you think it's possible they

721
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: would ship him to a contender like the Bills or

722
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs at some point? Also, what do you think the

723
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: return would be for a player of DJ's caliber. Thanks,

724
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 1: and would also like to see her swing the clubs

725
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: again soon on go Low. I think it would be cool.

726
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: That's my game plan is to start playing a little

727
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: golf on camera a little more. It's just sometimes harder

728
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: in football season, but I just have to make time.

729
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: I got a just a just a goal of mine

730
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: that I got to emphasize. I just pulled up DJ

731
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: Moore's sheet. DJ Moore has not missed a game since

732
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty. That was the VID season, and

733
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: there's a chance in those games maybe he got the

734
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: VID and they didn't even love him around twenty twenty one,

735
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: seventeen to seventeen, Caro those last two years in Carolina

736
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: didn't miss a game. In his last two years with

737
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: the Bears did not miss a game. He only has

738
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: three catches this year. I mean he had ninety eight

739
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: last year and ninety six the year before. You know,

740
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: he makes a lot of money. I think you can

741
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: get like a third round pick for him that if

742
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: you make it to the conference championship game or he

743
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: gets so many catches bumps up to a two. But

744
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: I definitely think for sure you would get a third

745
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: round pick. I think when you factor in the money,

746
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: it gets a little complicated because I think his contract

747
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: the Bears actually, I mean if they win this week,

748
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: they'd be three three in two. So DJ, I mean

749
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: his contract is it's not small, so he's got big

750
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: cap hits the next three years. If you cut him

751
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: the next two years, you're not you wouldn't cut them.

752
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: But he makes twenty million, twenty four, twenty four, so

753
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: it's not like now he's a productive player, but he's expensive.

754
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: So it's in the NFL, it's a little more complicated.

755
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: He'd be like, oh, get a second for djmore well

756
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: in factor in the money, factor in his age question

757
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: for the back, NFL expansion talks have to be overright.

758
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: Hard to imagine two teams finding a viable offensive line

759
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: and quarterback with the way the season is already looking.

760
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: Totally agree one, I just don't know any cities in

761
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: America that would make sense, so you'd have to go

762
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: to Europe. In two. The offensive line situation in the

763
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 1: NFL is an embarrassment, and it's no one's fault. Beside,

764
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: no one practices anymore because the body size of these

765
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: guys all look the same size, but they're not as

766
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: developed because no one works in training camp and during

767
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: the season in pasts, it just doesn't happen, and it's

768
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: not going to happen. And obviously the quarterback play, I mean,

769
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: we struggle think about this. People think Tua. If you

770
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: just ask a casual NFL fan about Tua, they'd all

771
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: be like, he sucks. Tua's better than half the league.

772
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: Say what you want about Tua, like he's better than

773
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: half the league. So if Tua is kind of the

774
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: the line where the league splits, you cannot add two teams.

775
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: But that's where money comes in. Sure you could if

776
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: you wanted to, which I wouldn't, but who knows what

777
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 1: these guys and they go, well, we'll go to London,

778
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: and we'll go to you know, Ireland or wherever the

779
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: big cities are they want to go. Then all of

780
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: a sudden they get what fifteen million dollars two expansion

781
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: fees at like seven and a half. What do you

782
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: think it would mean for the Bears to beat the

783
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: Commanders coming out of the bye? Personally, I'm feeling pretty

784
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: good about being two and two. If not for that

785
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: blown fourth quarter, we could easily be three and one.

786
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: I think The bye week is hitting at the perfect time.

787
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: We finally got got it out of ugly win, which

788
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: gives us a chance to reset, regroup and hopefully get

789
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: a handful of key guys back and in motivation from

790
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: what a season ending loss to Washington last year. I

791
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: have a feeling that this team is gonna come out swing.

792
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: Let's let's pull up the Bears. You guys have a

793
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: bye they're already buys kind of sneaks up on Yankees

794
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: lost NFL. It's a bad loss. They were up late

795
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: in the game. The Bears. Where are my Chicago Bears? Okay,

796
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: so you gotta buy this week, Conston early buy and

797
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: then you go at Commanders, which is Sunday night football.

798
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 1: Then you got the Saints, then you got the Ravens,

799
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: and then you got the Bengals, then you got the Giants.

800
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: Before the ending stretch that gets a little tough. You

801
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: beat the Commanders, you could be in pretty good shape

802
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: now by then you think Jaden Daniels is back. It's weird,

803
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: right if you're Ben Johnson, you're gonna use that as motivation.

804
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: Last year, but you weren't there, and a lot of

805
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: your new players weren't there. Some of your new offensive linemen,

806
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: your coaching staff, but like a lot of those guys

807
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: were a part of it. I don't know. You can't

808
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: win that game. I'm a lifelong Vikings fan, so I

809
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: get it. They aren't a team that moves the needle. However,

810
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: when you speak about the team, at least adds some

811
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: facts for proper context. On Monday, you mentioned a list

812
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: of injuries, but none of the Vikings players. Cool. I

813
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: let it slide, you know. Then on your Tuesday nine

814
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: thirty show doing the mail bag, the Dufus says the

815
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,479
Speaker 1: Vikings have the worst offensive line in the league. Here's

816
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: where I thought you would add some facts. The five

817
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: starters have not played a single down together, all due

818
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: to injuries. It's so frustrating listening to these takes. God,

819
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: you don't need to be so offended. You know, you

820
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: just don't. You're right. You just got your ass kicked

821
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: by the Steelers. You have injuries. Every fucking team has injuries.

822
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: Like I said, all week, you look up, every team's hurt.

823
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: No one's healthy. Not a soul is healthy. People are suspended,

824
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: people are injured. Tyreek Hill's leg fell off, everyone's injured.

825
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: Everyone's injured. You're starting Carson Wentz. Why because you're starting

826
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks injured? Who might suck? So yeah, I mean, I

827
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: can't list context. I'm not a journalist. This isn't like

828
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: a fact fact checking podcast. Sometimes just talk. I don't

829
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: go over the injury report for every team you got injuries.

830
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: Your starting left tackle was out to begin the season.

831
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: Now you're right tackles missing. Yeah, welcome to the NFL.

832
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: You're starting Carson Wentz. Like I would say that is

833
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: as big as your out. Your offensive line is, you know,

834
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: in theory is pretty good when healthy, but what if

835
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: they're never healthy? So you're playing with an unhealthy offensive line.

836
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Packers against the Cowboys. How many guys

837
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: are they missing? On a play to play basis? It's football.

838
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean, backup start Lane Johnson all of a sudden,

839
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: out of the game, the backup comes in, he sucks,

840
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 1: his backup comes in. That's just what happens. Like we're

841
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: not gonna be like, oh, just a bunch of backups,

842
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: like that's Roger Goodell's NFL twenty twenty five. I'm not

843
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: trying to be an asshole here, but I don't know

844
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to say, we can't break it down

845
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: like you know, yeah, I don't know how else to

846
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: preface it by. Why are we still talking about the

847
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: Ravens and the Chiefs. Lamar can't win a big game

848
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: and their team is decimated by injuries. The Chiefs can't

849
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: stay out of jail and they're getting old fast. The

850
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: AFC is done. Call it Bills, come on down. Time

851
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen to be the next chopping block to

852
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: the undeniable, unstoppable, best big game quarterback they ever play

853
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 1: the game. Jalen hurts hashtag go Birds, We're going twenty

854
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: and oh uh, I thought it was gonna be a

855
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: Bills fan. That was a good tweet. I don't trust

856
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: their defense honestly to just you know, like, obviously, Josh

857
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: and their offense can get you the Super Bowl, but

858
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know something about the Bills. It's like, are

859
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: they gonna get big stops and big games for back

860
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: to back games to make it the Super Bowl? I

861
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: think it'd be pretty cool. I don't think you guys

862
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: are gonna go twenty. You know, if you can't complete

863
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: passes in the second half, but you're gonna win a

864
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: lot of games. We'll see What if AJ Brown tanks

865
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: your season by keeps tweeting and saying shit? What if

866
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: a J Brown eventually in a press conference goes you

867
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: remember Brandon Graham last year, what he said was real.

868
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: I was just told by Howie and Jeffrey Lowry to lie,

869
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: So I lied. Doesn't seem like he's happy. We's got

870
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that, which I do? You know what? Sometimes

871
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: like everyone's like, be a team guy? Yeah, what if

872
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a team guy? What if I'm selfish? What

873
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: if I'm narcissistic? What if I only give a shit

874
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: about my catches? Do you want me to fake it? Aren't?

875
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: We talk about society like being authentic, be who you

876
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: really are. I want the ball. Throw me the fucking football.

877
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: That's what he That's essentially what he wants to say.

878
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: We all know it. I mean, let's let's call a

879
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: spat as bade he hates not getting the ball. Clearly

880
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,919
Speaker 1: not a popular opinion, but I absolutely love the two

881
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: Monday night football games. I had a couple of people

882
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: reach out and say, I'm a big daily fantasy guy

883
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: and I really like the games. And I had a

884
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: couple other people say like, I play a lot of

885
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: prop bets and I really like the extra action. And

886
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: I went, you know what, I'm not as huge a

887
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: fantasy guy, and even prop bets doesn't hold my attention,

888
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 1: but I get it, and I might like the doubleheader

889
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: is not for me, but it's not made for me.

890
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: The doubleheader is about a huge reason the NFL has

891
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: exploded is because of fantasy football in gambling. So if

892
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: I give you two games instead of one, you got

893
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: more action going on, so more people are paying attention.

894
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 1: I listened to a gambling show, not a gambling show,

895
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: but about it's called like the Underbelly, the Something Underbelly

896
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: on YouTube, and they interviewed the guy he kind of

897
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: made the media rounds, who was the bookie for Shoho

898
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: Tani's translator. And this guy ran like this, I mean

899
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: huge gambling ring based out of Newport Beach, and he

900
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: talked about his story, and part of his story was

901
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: he thought, now again he was balls deep as a bookie,

902
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: that if gambling just ceased to exist, like it just

903
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: you were not allowed to gamble legally or illegally, that

904
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: the ratings would dip it half. And I was like,

905
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true, but it would definitely

906
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: have a major impact. And there is no disputing that.

907
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: A lot of people that don't love football, like you know,

908
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: Nick Saban or Bill Belichick for the purity of blocking, tackling,

909
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: and catching, but want to have watch their fantasy players

910
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: or want to see if Jamar Chase can get over

911
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: five and a half catches, see if they can make

912
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: a hundred bucks. Right, it plays a huge role. So

913
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 1: I want to change. I want to take back my take.

914
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: I personally don't like it. That's not gonna change. But

915
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 1: if it means more people care, which means more people

916
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: care about this, which is how I'm gonna feed my

917
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: unborn child, then shit, I better embrace it. You know,

918
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,479
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be one of those people. I've said

919
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: forever when I first got into this world. So many

920
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: media people are just so bitter and so angry and

921
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: live in their own little bubble about how much they

922
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: hate their life. And it's like, do you even like

923
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: watching sports? And they answered a lot of them is no.

924
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: And I've always said, like, I like watching the games,

925
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 1: and then I'm complaining about two games. Now you could

926
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: argue Dolphins Jets is a rough Watch. But I actually

927
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: feel like I don't hate watching Tua when he's playing decent.

928
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:17,240
Speaker 1: I thought he played pretty good last night. Okay, last question.

929
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: I was listening to you before the gym and you

930
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: were talking about the Bengals spending on wide receivers and

931
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: how they just had the draft to acquire talent, how

932
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: they just had the draft. I got it got me

933
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: thinking that Michael was a luxury for the Cowboys and

934
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: a necessity for Green Bay. Even with Micah and that

935
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: big contract, the Cowboys weren't gonna get any better. What

936
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: do you think love the show? I think I saw

937
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: a quote today Where was I that I saw it

938
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: flashed across something the Jerry Jones. It must have been

939
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: the interview that he does with the fan in Dallas

940
00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: one O five to three. I think the radio station

941
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: is that said that Dak Prescott was a necessity Micah

942
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: Parsons was not. And what he's saying is like the

943
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: quarterback Dak Prescott is way more important to our team

944
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,919
Speaker 1: than Michah Parsons. I mean, that's one hundred percent true.

945
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 1: And Micah Parsons is a better player than Dak Prescott.

946
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 1: We all agree, right, Whether I'm not even talking about

947
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: like just independently Micah if if on Madden ratings, Micah

948
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: Parsons is like a ninety four. Dak Prescott's like an

949
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: eighty two. Yet Dak Prescott is more important to any

950
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,280
Speaker 1: football team than Michah Parsons, right, if Dak Prescott's your quarterback.

951
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: I said this, like, I completely respect Gudikins and why

952
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 1: he did the trade. Sometimes in life you gotta put

953
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: your nuts on the table in whatever you do, especially

954
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: once you get like it's easy to just be conservative.

955
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: Once you get to the top and the Packers just

956
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, it's going well, and then you get

957
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity to take a big swing, And it would

958
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: have been easy for him to be like, oh, we'll

959
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: just use these picks and we'll just use this cap space.

960
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: He's like, fuck it, So I expect it. But that

961
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: was a game against the Cowboys where it's like, hey, Micah,

962
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: I remember I had a front row seat when Khalil

963
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: Mack won the Defensive Player of the Year. There was

964
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: one game against Denver Broncos or I think he had

965
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: five sacks. There was a game against the Panthers where

966
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: he had like a strip, sack and a pick six.

967
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just he would just take over games,

968
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: and it's like that's a game.

969
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: Like.

970
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 1: Can you just do some miraculous stuff and just win

971
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: us the game because our defense is terrible and you

972
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: just take over And he just kind of couldn't do it.

973
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: But he's gonna get his fourteen sacks. He's gonna be

974
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: a productive player. He's a really good player. But if

975
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 1: you're Green Bay and I'm paying you one hundred and

976
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: eighty eight million dollars, one hundred and eighty eight million

977
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: dollars for four years, I guaranteed you, like one hundred

978
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: and thirty or whatever, I need you to be great.

979
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: And I watched him that game and I was like,

980
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't see great. And the Cowboys if they would

981
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 1: have gave him that contract, I don't think they would

982
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 1: look that much different at all. They would get the

983
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, however many sacks he would get for them

984
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the season. So occasionally on third

985
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: down they get off the field because he gets a sack,

986
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: but their defense would get shredded every single week because

987
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: you would just double team him. So yeah, I hear you,

988
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm glad. You know, I think Gudakins does

989
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: not regret it now. Honestly, I think four games in,

990
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: I think Jerry not only doesn't regret it, it's like,

991
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad we did it. The volume
