Actually, UH Washington football team coach 136 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera announced Thursday that he has been diagnosed with 137 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: what he terms to be a very treatable and curable 138 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: form of limp node cancer. Rivera told the ESPNS Adam 139 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: Schefter that he was stunned, he was angry. He feels 140 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: like he's in the best best health that he's been in. 141 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: But he went to the doctor because he had a 142 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: lump on his neck and he got the diagnosis. He's 143 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: gonna continue to coach, that's his plan. It's full speed ahead. 144 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: Uh Rivera says, but now he has uh this on 145 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: his plate and we wish him the best. And obviously 146 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: cancer is something that's very close to this podcast is 147 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: Chris Westling fights cancer for the second time in the 148 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: past few years, so we understand how all encompassing that becomes. 149 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Ron Rivers are. Greg is a guy that we've already 150 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: talked about on this podcast has more on his shoulders 151 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: as a head coach than really any coach I ever 152 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: remember since we've been doing this show, and now he 153 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: has the fight of cancer in his personal life. Yeah, 154 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: there's I can't think of a coach taking a job 155 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: and then having to deal with more quickly just from 156 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: an organizational standpoint, and then this personally is so separate 157 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: and you you hope the best for him. It's encouraging 158 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: that that the doctors told him keep working, but he 159 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: did say he's gonna feel it, you know, he expects 160 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: to feel it a little more in three or four weeks, 161 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: and um, so I'm sure that's something that that the 162 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: Washington football team is going to do everything they can 163 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: to support him, and that if someone needs to step 164 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: in and help him with some of his duties in 165 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,599 Speaker 1: that time, you know, I'm sure at least they have 166 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of plan for Jack del Rio. Is 167 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: there their defensive coordinator, who, of course has been a 168 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: head coach a couple of times. Yeah, I mean, I 169 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: can't really think of of a coach that has garnered 170 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: more respect um and and you know to his days 171 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: as a player, uh and right into what he's done now. 172 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: And it's I think it's it's so heightened and clear 173 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: to see in Washington taking on, as you said, just 174 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: extra rolls, stuff that head coaches in their first season 175 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: typically wouldn't be asked to do. I can think when 176 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: when when the Rams moved, they essentially kept Jeff Fisher 177 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: around UM an extra season or two because they wanted 178 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: someone who had been there just to manage that transition. 179 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: Rivera is doing this all after been there for a 180 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: couple of months, and like I do think head coaches 181 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: probably have a tough time stepping down from their duties. 182 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: And you hope that um physically, if there is, it 183 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: becomes complicated that there will be a way for him 184 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: to get the resty needs because you know, we've seen 185 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: it personally, what it what it can do. The coronavirus too. 186 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you have. You have to be a little 187 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: extra worried when you're when you're at risk. The team 188 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: has a quote planned b in place of Rivera does 189 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: have to step away from his duties. And yes there 190 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: is also a teacher bull moment in there for all 191 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: of us. Rivera detected that lump, didn't ignore it, went 192 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: to the doctor. We should all follow that path if 193 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: you ever see something that's at a place on the 194 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: old bod. You know, we talked about bods on the show, 195 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: and this is talking about the body in a different way. Still, 196 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: I feel like I have a lot of lumps on 197 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: my body right now and it's not they're not I 198 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: don't know what a doctor would say about it, but 199 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: it's unpleasant to the eye, you would say, she'd say, 200 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: get back on that beach body work at I can 201 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: see you going to the doctor and explaining all the 202 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: maladies on your body and then the doctor just being like, 203 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: you're almost fifty. I don't. I haven't been to a 204 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: regular doctor sort of checkup type thing in a in 205 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: a in a long time. Probably advice. Yeah, all right, 206 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: how about this? How about what just have with Ron 207 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: RIVERI go maybe make that the reason to go to 208 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: the doctor, Well my doctor again, it is going to 209 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: be female assassin, and it's there's it's prevalent, and it's 210 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: so it's you know that doctor's appointments are now virtual too. 211 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: They're not letting you in or their requesting don't show 212 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: up right now, which which makes sense. So you're looking 213 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: you're looking for more of a Cavorkian is what you're saying, 214 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: essentially to bring in Norway. Like if if Mark suddenly 215 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: leaves for Norway, will have to be a little worried. Uh. 216 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: In other news, a certified trope alert down there in Tampa, 217 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians Trot. Trot believes that Rob Gronkowski, 218 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: the version that they're seeing right now in Florida, the 219 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: version that Tom Brady successfully lured out of retirement after 220 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: one year, is the same guy who is the greatest 221 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: tight end of all time in New England years ago, 222 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: the guy that has all these records and Super Bowls 223 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: and all that um years lay it or at age 224 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: thirty one with a body like an operation game board, 225 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: and after a year out of the game, Arian says 226 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: he's totally rejuvenated. And the guy that's on the team 227 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: now is that all time great Mark, are you buying 228 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: this or is this a certified trop Allert? Well, first 229 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: of all, I think that the trope Lady Um is 230 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: not exactly a nine to five grinder. She probably does 231 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: about two hours of work over the course of an 232 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: entire year on this show. But she does a nice 233 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: job with it, and she's very consistent. I'll start right there, 234 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: um pleasant voice, but I do. But here's why I 235 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: buy it. If you put Gronk like on The Bears 236 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: or you know, the Chargers, I'd have questions. But he's 237 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: paired with Brady, and he's basically talked about the fact 238 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: that you know, Guerrero and Brady have been working with 239 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: him closely and he's changed his diet and this stuff 240 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: has worked for Tom Brady. And Tom Brady and Gronk 241 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: like the fact that they're paired together. I buy the 242 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: idea that his body is healthy and they're gonna produce 243 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: right away because they're like peanut butter and jelly. I mean, 244 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: these two just know each other. Why buy it because 245 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: you can see it in the little clips people. I 246 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: mean it's funny. You would think you can't get anything 247 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: out of these running on air clips. But it's like 248 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: Robert Ronkrowski couldn't move, you know, the last time he 249 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: was on the field, and he couldn't move in some 250 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: of those training camps either. Like it wasn't like he 251 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: showed up and people were like, oh, gronks back. It 252 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: was like he never really recovered in the last couple 253 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: of years of his career from the cascade of those injuries. 254 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: Now that said, he hasn't played football yet. I mean 255 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: there hasn't been real hitting and probably the biggest decline 256 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: I saw in Rob Gronkowski in his last season was 257 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: as a blocker, where he was no longer a difference 258 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: maker um in terms of his blocking, although he was 259 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: out there and he gives you flexibility. I think the 260 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: back injury really came into play there. So you're gonna 261 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: have to watch him play a real fifty snaps in 262 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: a game and do that a few times and see 263 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: how he holds up. Then I do buy though that 264 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: he is moving better. He has to be. I think 265 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: he is, and he and he said it, he says 266 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: I I think he It makes sense a year from 267 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: away from the game, and it sounds like he worked 268 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: out harder with the w W E and with the 269 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: brady stuff than than he probably was beforehand, he said. 270 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: He basically admitted he didn't work as hard as he 271 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: could have working out beforehand. Dan's not buying it. No, 272 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm not buying it right now. Part of you not 273 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: want to buy it even if you are. I have 274 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: no problems with Gronk. What do I what does Gronk 275 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: doing well? How does that affect me? Negatively? I have 276 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: no problem with it. But the fact of the matter 277 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: is like, yeah, you could look great running around in 278 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: shorts in August, but the body is gonna that body 279 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: is gonna be cranky again once he gets tackled a 280 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: few times and uh meet some crushing blocking assignments. And 281 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: it is the reason why we roll out trope alerts 282 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: on this show is because it's legit and it usually 283 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: does hide the reality. And the reality is that this 284 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: trope is coach colon, aging veteran with history of lower 285 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: body injuries actually as good as ever that's not possible. 286 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: That never happens. So we'll see. And if you guys 287 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: want to put uh your sandwiches where your mouth is, 288 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: I'd love to do some statistical um not in this one, 289 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: because to me, it's not the lower it's the back. 290 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: It's the back of the neck. And that when when 291 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: you were a fan of the Patriots watching Gronk, every 292 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: time he got tackled from behind on his back, you 293 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: just you held your breath, and half the time he 294 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: did get hurt. I mean that is always how he 295 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: got her is someone kind of tackling him, jumping on 296 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: his shoulders because he's not going down, and that's it. 297 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: And then he's not the same the rest of the season. 298 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: So and I can see it. I could say, have 299 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: two other good tight ends there or ones that they 300 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: could service. You could use a lot. And I don't snaps. 301 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: I don't think you're talking about the fact that he 302 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: could have the third fewest snaps of the tight ends. Well, 303 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: Peter King, Peter King speculate that. I'm just saying, but 304 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: I would imagine behind Howard, like if Howard is healthy, Um, 305 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: I think they'd be smart not to use Gronk seventies right, 306 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: The idea that you would phase out someone's talented as O. J. 307 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: Howard because old man Gronks back in town. There's a 308 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: way to make this work while you don't, you know, 309 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: give up on O. J. Horroard because he had a 310 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: bad twenty nineteen. All right, Well, meanwhile, on the throne 311 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: of sleeves Grons Old team, Jared Stidham is having a 312 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: rough camp. He is right now battling injury. It's discomfort 313 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: in his leg, is how it was explained by rap sheet. 314 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: He's also been throwing the ball all over to the 315 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: place and practice, including the guys on the other side 316 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: um of the field on defense. So Stidham struggling with 317 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: turnovers and practice and now battling a leg injury all 318 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: good news if you're a Cam Newton fan. Mark, Yeah, 319 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: I just I get that there's been this talk about 320 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: you know who's going to start, and they start multiple quarterbacks. 321 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: To me, it's a stunting upset if Cam Newton, even 322 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: even if you remove the interceptions, isn't your Week one starter, 323 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: and and and continues on that way. I that that's 324 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: just where I'm sitting. I don't like that. There are 325 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: things that I just don't need to pay that deep 326 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: attention to in training camp with no preseason games, and 327 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: it's stuff like this. I mean now, I mean Stidham 328 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: to me is a project, and so far the project 329 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: is not going very well, right, I think it's not 330 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: surprising after you know, not having O. T A s. 331 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: They come out there and they're going up against the 332 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: best secondary in the league that you know, you can 333 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: pick that you can guess which team offenses are all 334 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: getting the bad reviews in camp. The Jets are another 335 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: one where it's like the offensive talent doesn't match up 336 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: with the experience and the talent of the defense. And 337 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: there's a few others around the league like that. Doesn't 338 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: surprise me that Stidham, Hoyer and Cam, you know, hasn't 339 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: looked that great. Stidham supposedly has been throwing the nicest ball, 340 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: but he's been throwing it to the other team, you know, 341 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: seven times. McDaniels, Josh McDaniel said, Stidham's practicing next time 342 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: they're in full pad. So I I don't I'm not 343 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: really that can The injury doesn't really matter that much 344 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: as much as he would have to play so well 345 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: in camp and show that he was so far ahead 346 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: of Cam to play him ahead of Cam, and he's not. 347 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: He's a second year fourth round pick right now. ESPN 348 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: is my Reese believes that none of the Patriots quarterbacks 349 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: have quote flashed and summer practice so far. Yeah, I 350 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: don't put anything into that, like, yeah, do I think 351 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: my Jets are going to the Super Bowl this year? No? 352 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: But am I freaking out because the offense? I mean, 353 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: all offenses are going through it right now. It's especially 354 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: part of the machine here, right there's just two. There's 355 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: so much more to to to learn and grasp in 356 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: variables on offense than there isn't for most defense. I 357 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: want to know how Cam throwing the ball. I want 358 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: to know how Cam's throwing the ball. The fact that 359 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: Reese said, and I've seen it twice that you know, 360 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: if you just look at who's made the best throws, 361 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: who's got the best arm, you know, has had the 362 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: best plays in the passing game, it's been Stidham. That 363 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: makes me wonder, how is Cam throwing the ball? How 364 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: does his arm look? Because that is the bigger concern 365 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: to me, not the toe and the foot injury that 366 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: he had last year. We still haven't really seen him 367 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: rip it um for a long time since that shoulder surgery, 368 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: and that that's what I am most concerned about, at 369 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: least as a path I guess I'm confused in for 370 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: people that study the game, and no like to say 371 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: that Yard Stidham is throwing the ball well when he 372 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: is like seven interceptions and four practice like you could 373 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: throw a spiral, Like, okay, I could throw a spiral. Point. 374 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: I think the point is, you know yet he's been 375 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: making the biggest mistakes. But if you picked out who 376 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: has had the best pass plays in camp, they've almost 377 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: been all Stidham too. So it's like, it's not it's 378 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: ugly there, he's like he's a bad jamis. It's also 379 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: it's also, as you mentioned, I don't know what to 380 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: put into these practices. I also don't think it's a 381 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: bad thing not to have preseason, but uh, I'm feeling 382 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: this now. It's like, it is it that big good deal? 383 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: I think it's fine. Well to the guys at the 384 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: bottom of the roster, it's a big deal, um, all right. 385 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: In other news, the Melvin Ingram standoff and in Los 386 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: Angeles feels like it's coming to a close. We'll see. 387 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: But Ingram signed an adjusted contract yesterday, according to Mike 388 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: Garafolo of NFL Network, with the team that guarantees this 389 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: year's salary. According to sources, and according to Mike, this 390 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: was a driving force in Ingram's return to practice, and 391 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: he added that we'll see what it means regarding his 392 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: push for a contract extension. We talked about this on 393 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: Wednesday show. He's thirty one, coming off not a game 394 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: breaking type season. Joey Bosa just got the biggest defensive 395 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: contract ever, So I think his future in Los Angeles 396 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,479 Speaker 1: very murky. But this feels like greg a move that 397 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: they made that gets him back on the field and 398 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: back to business. Yeah, it's a little love for a 399 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: guy who has done a lot of great work for them. 400 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: It's also ultimately not promising much other than you're gonna 401 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: make the team, which you would have in that if 402 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: Coronavirus cancels, games will still pay you, so that's a 403 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: little extra. I do think it's directly related to Bosa. 404 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: You know, your buddy gets all this money, um, and 405 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: then you want a little It happened with us when 406 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: Mark got that monster guaranteed past, guaranteeing him forty million 407 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,479 Speaker 1: over the next four years. We all were like, hello, 408 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: who was a word? Well, it caused a rift, um, 409 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: But I mean I think they went they went in 410 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: the right direction with the initial salary bum heading towards me. 411 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: That didn't make West very happy. He's always been squawking 412 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: about the money. But um, you know you're right. I 413 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: also don't. It's pretty clear to me on the Melvin 414 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,239 Speaker 1: front that they don't. They don't really want to give 415 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: him an extension. I mean right, I mean, I think 416 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: they want to see how the season goes at best. 417 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 1: You know, it was the best part though, Mark, when 418 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: you took that massive extension and you gave every dime 419 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: so the Boys and Girls Club of North Hollywood, Like 420 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: that showed me you were a man of character. Yeah. 421 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: I don't know why I would surprise you that I 422 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: would do that. It sort of just seems to be 423 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: right in the in the sort of character that I would. 424 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: I would. That's how I use my money, Just give 425 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: it all the way to other people. Not my own children, 426 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: but other children and the Boys and Girls Club and 427 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: uh no ho as they call it, right, your children 428 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: are using old shoe boxes of shoes, but those kids, 429 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: and they won't even let my children into that Boys 430 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: and Girls Club, which I found to be uncivilized. Like 431 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: let I mean money named it after you, Mark Sessler, 432 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: Boys and Girls Club of North Hollywood and Luke and 433 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: Colin got turned away at the door. Yeah, it's not right. 434 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: We're working on that all right. In other news, kJ Hamler, 435 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: the rookie wide receiver UH is out a couple of 436 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: weeks for the Broncos. Not good with a hamstring injury. 437 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: And of course, the way the season is barreling towards 438 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: us now less than three weeks, a hamstring injury UH 439 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: really puts his Week one availability and doubt. And like 440 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned the Jets and Denzel Mims, their wide receiver 441 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: they're very high on, who also pulled a hamstring. When 442 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: you take a rookie off the field and this offseason, 443 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: especially during this portion of the season, it's gonna be 444 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: very tough, you would think for Hammler to find a 445 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: role early on in and he was a big part 446 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: of the reason people were so excited about the speed 447 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: of this Broncos offense. They still pretty good depth. But 448 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: that's taken away one piece. And you said it just 449 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: this year more than any I mean, hamstring injuries have 450 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: in camp have crushed rookie receivers. I feel like every year, um, 451 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: and it just feels like it's going to be doubly 452 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: true this year and we're getting so little news. I 453 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: think that's part of the reason why, Like it's not 454 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: a fiery rundown right now, there's no preseason. That's part 455 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: of it. But I think it's because there's no access. 456 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: I think there's stuff happening out there that you don't 457 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: know about because people aren't in the building. You're only 458 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: getting these zooms, so you only know what the coaches 459 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: tell you. And for them to tell you he's out 460 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, that means it's quite serious. Yeah, 461 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: it's like the position at least want um to see 462 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: a player tagged with a hamstring injury because at wide 463 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: receiver it gets it becomes like February March and that 464 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: wide receiver that had that early season hamstring pull tells 465 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: you all affected, infected my entire year, and we saw 466 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: with Odell Beckham he came back and was fine. But 467 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: I mean, these things can linger. And I think you're 468 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: greg your point that, um, we don't really need the 469 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: preseason from our angle, not the young players. Coaches would 470 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: love for this access to never or grow anything beyond 471 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: where it is right now. Their loving this so this 472 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: is their dream land, you know, and how can they 473 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: go back to That will be interesting to see how 474 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: they go back in the media front. And then how 475 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: do they go back to three preseason games? I really, 476 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: I really, I guess they can't renegotiate that. I feel 477 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: like going back to two feels like that's that's perfect. 478 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: Going back to three seems crazy. Next year, Odell Beckham 479 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: is the best case scenario for this type of thing. 480 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we've been doing this long enough. I remember 481 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: his rookie season. He yanks his hamstring at Giants camp 482 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: because the guy's always hurt, and he is out the 483 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: entire first month of the season. And then he gets 484 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: back and he's so incredibly talented. He's still let let 485 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: the league on fire. But unless you're at that kind 486 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: of level of a talent, it's very difficult to find 487 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: your role. What are you smirking for? Mark? No? I 488 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: remember like people being really down on Beckham before they 489 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: saw him play because of that injury. Why isn't this guy? 490 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: Guys always hurt? And I have to watch all these 491 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: social media clips this week. Oh look at Odell. He 492 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: just leap frogged over his own linebackers. Like that's why 493 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: Mark smirkin Well, Like, while while O'Dell is, you know, 494 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: walking on water this August. Let's just hope he doesn't 495 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: pull a hammy doing that. You know, it's just like, 496 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: I want to see this guy but play sixteen games 497 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: you and you and Odell Beckham have never felt like 498 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: the like a road trip pairing that would work out 499 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: very well. There just seems to be some heat between 500 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: you guys. But Beckham also played wire to wire through 501 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: injury all last season. I mean, do we give him 502 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: any credit for that or does that get where does 503 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: that play into the equation? You get more credit if 504 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: you play well. Unfortunately, yea thousand yards season while injured. Okay, alright, alright, 505 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: a lot of drops here, it was. Here's the thing 506 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: with the Odell and Beckham injury is very confusing to 507 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: me because when you watched, especially at the end of 508 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: the season. I wouldn't watch his last five Baker games. 509 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: Oh that was open all the time, and he had 510 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: a ton of drops and he didn't have a lot 511 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: He was bad on contested catch. So the whole part 512 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: of him being injured was confusing because the biggest problem 513 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: you had, I thought, was like he wasn't on the 514 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: same page and he couldn't come down with passes in 515 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: the past then he did. Maybe that is the hamstring, 516 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: but it wasn't like he didn't have opportunities. But that's 517 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen. Let's move on from there. That's in 518 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: the past. Speaking Wait, hold on, it's the fridge. I'll 519 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: be back in speaking of bye bye, Greg. Um. You 520 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: know the top of the show, Mark when Greg, you know, 521 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: you just you want to have that moment where we're 522 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: all sharing it. It's like ten years ago, I moved 523 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: here and we've been on this roller coaster ride together, 524 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: uh for the past eight years, and you just wanted 525 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 1: him to be involved with the conversation. But it just 526 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: didn't seem like we could get him to engage there. 527 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: He seemed a little reticent. I'd like to dig deeper 528 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: into why that, Why that was? Um, I think the 529 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: findings might be unpleasant to to you and uh maybe 530 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: to me also and potentially to Erica. So I don't 531 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: maybe we don't take deeper into that. Ricky, what do 532 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: you think? What do you make of that? I think 533 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: it was clear as day. Unfortunately you guys. Um, Yeah, 534 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: like Mark said, I don't I don't think you should 535 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: dig deeper into it, because it doesn't go very deep. 536 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: He just doesn't like you, guys. Yeah, it seems it 537 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: seems rather evident, like there's no warm feelings about the 538 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: last care if you've been there for ten years, I 539 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,640 Speaker 1: think to us, to us, seems he'll be fine. Yeah, 540 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: all right. In the other first round, brag is back. 541 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: In other first round news involving wide receivers, Marquise Hollywood 542 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: Brown is poised for a big second year with the 543 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: Ravens and he's you know, made some headlines. Greg, you 544 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: mentioned it on a podcast earlier. Uh, this summer, he 545 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: gained twenty twenty three pounds. He built up twenty three 546 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: pounds uh in the NFL off season. That's almost like 547 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: the entire weight of my three year old child. Um, 548 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: And you would think that this would be First of all, 549 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: you worry about his hamstrings and every other part of 550 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: his body. But also if you're curious, Mark, I know 551 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: you're very plugged in on diet and what you put 552 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: into your body and actually just the sweet Starting this 553 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: week my own training camp, I've really been cleaning it 554 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: up and I'm trying to keep the calorie and take 555 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: below two thousand, which is You know, when you start 556 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: like trying to track these things, realize how easily you 557 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: give away calories. But that's my situation. A guy that's 558 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: trying to drop weight, Mark, he's around, is trying to 559 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: gain weight, and he was on a four thousand calorie 560 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: diet this offseason. And here is the diet you ready, Mark, 561 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: take note if you want to bulk up breakfast. And 562 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: by the way, I know these this is a trope 563 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: in its own right that these stories pop up, But 564 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: I always like just seeing what these guys are eating. 565 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: Breakfast seven thirty am four boy old eggs and oatmeal.

You can gain twenty three pounds of 578 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: muscle that way. That's that's just a bodybuilders regiment. I mean, 579 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: so there's gotta be, you know, periods of lifting in 580 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: between all that. I don't know, you know, I think 581 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: that it probably would if I tried that diet, it 582 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: would do an absolute job on the intestine an old tract. 583 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how that would work out, but that's 584 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: that's how you put those pounds on. That's how you 585 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: do it. Imagine at five am, no, thank you, I 586 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: think I could give it a give it a go. 587 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: Maybe I'd have to downsize it a little bit here 588 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: and there. But by the time you got to the 589 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: the nine thirty or the third protein shake with the 590 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: extra two table spoons of peanut butter and and almond milk, 591 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: and that's the third time today, and you just date 592 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: like your second stake and you'd just be like stuffing 593 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: it down in that peanut butter and on will would 594 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: be like coozy, not your greg. You sound like a 595 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: perfect person to sponsor this type of plan. You know, 596 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,239 Speaker 1: we've never had it. We've never had a meme on 597 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: this show yet something that really broke through. Greg. You 598 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: spoon feeding your the peanut butter into your mouth. I 599 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: think that could do it. That's two shows in a 600 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: row where you've created a Greg with You know you're 601 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: a meme generator. Lately, well, I feel you know, we 602 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: talked about it. I think it was earlier this year. 603 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: When you want social media advice, you just come to me. 604 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: You know that's true. Triple g uh. And finally in 605 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: the news, bad times for Thom Brenneman. I think he 606 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: goes by Tom, but I mean T H O M. 607 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: And you want me to call you Tom. At a 608 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: certain point, you need to make the choice. You're right, 609 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: that's not what we're focusing on here. Red's broadcaster and 610 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: West has been listening to this guy and watching this 611 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: guy for decades as a Cincinnati Reds baseball fan. But 612 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: Tom Brenneman suspended from working Cincinnati's games after using an 613 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: anti gay slur on the air on Wednesday night, prompting 614 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: the team to apologize for what they called a horrific 615 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: homophobic remark. Which it was, and promptly, uh, Fox about 616 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: twelve hours later announced they were pulling Tom off the 617 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: air on NFL Sundays. And you know, once this story 618 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: is out there and it's one of the all time 619 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: broadcasting gaffs uh that I remember to do that live 620 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: on the air and say what he said. But when 621 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: they were giving his background, I was stunned to see 622 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: that Brenniman, Fox stole CBS, stole the NFC coverage from 623 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: CBS in and it was a landmark thing Fox getting 624 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: into the broadcasting game. And Tom Brenneman was on the 625 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: first group of teams in ninety four and he's been 626 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: there the entire time since. So you guys can do 627 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: the map there. I mean, the guy has been a 628 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: staple there. Um. So with Brennaman out for this season 629 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: and likely beyond that, I thought this would just be 630 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: a good time to take a look at where we're 631 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: at with the Fox teams real quick, I'm gonna go 632 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: through the Fox teams. And if you don't follow this 633 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: as closely as we do, because we kinda are way 634 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: into this because we're just these teams mark right, They're 635 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: just so they become a part of our life for 636 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: four months, especially if you're for your job, you're trying 637 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: to watch all the games. You can't get away from 638 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: these guys. They better be pleasant. Yeah, to your point, 639 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: for more than four months, for ten years, in some 640 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: cases fifteen years. I mean you can hear their voices 641 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: in your head if I say Pat Summer all, Uh, 642 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: you can hear his voice if you think about it 643 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: in your mind right now. I mean, that's that's good. Rights, 644 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: that's that's good, And that's the good teams. There are 645 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: a couple of teams and you can get into it. 646 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: I mean, there are certain teams that um lessen my 647 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: enjoyment of some games. Uh, you know, they're not all creative. 648 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: E Tom was one of those for a while. I 649 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: mean at some point last year I almost got to 650 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 1: the point that I thought they were so bad. They're good, 651 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 1: but he's such a blowhard. He's so opinionated and knows 652 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 1: so little that it almost cracks me up. And he's 653 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: with Chris Fieldman, who I like, and it's kind of fun. 654 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: But the two of the off each other where we're 655 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 1: insane so good ridden Greg takes the tas we talked 656 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: about it, We talked about him on this show before this. Yes, 657 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: so here are the team, just just for posterity. Uh. 658 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: The A team is Joe Buck Troy Aikman since two 659 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: thousand six, that's been the team with Aaron Andrews as 660 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: the sideline reporter. The B team, which I believe to 661 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: be solid as well, Kevin Burkhardt, Darryl Johnston and Pam 662 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: Oliver because Charles Davis CBS Burkhart underrated. I like Burke 663 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: Haart a lot. Burkhart's great. Yeah. The third team, this 664 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: is interesting. Kenny Albert, who's solid. Jonathan Vilma is that new? Yeah? 665 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: Who was Albert working with last year? Does anybody recalled? 666 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: I think Randi Barber m. Kenny Albert was Marve Albert's 667 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: younger brother, and I realized I learned more recently than 668 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 1: I should have, that it's his son. Yeah. I always 669 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: Kenny Albert has been around for a billion years and 670 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: it's his son anyway, That is stunning to me. I 671 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 1: always thought it was mean. Is like, you know he's 672 00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: been he's still in top form, or or at least 673 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: close to it considering, but yeah, I think he's approaching 674 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: his eighties or maybe you know, he is late seventies 675 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, So Albert and Vilmo will 676 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: be interesting to hear how Vilma does this season. I 677 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: thought they were really good on ESPN as a you know, 678 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: studio guy, but I haven't heard him out a game. 679 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: As they'll have rotating sideline reporters and sideline reporters. Is 680 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: that going to be a thing this season? Probably know? 681 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: They actually announced that they that NFL Network reporters, I 682 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: mean all sideline reporters are barred from barred from the 683 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: field during games for the two the entire season, all right, 684 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: So thom was with Spielman as we said, and Shannon 685 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: Spake was the sideline reporters. So Shannon, I guess it 686 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: is not involved or will have a different role from 687 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: out of the mix. So they got a plug they 688 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: could potentially um mix in with one of their other teams. 689 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: They have Chris Myers uh and a booth mate to 690 00:36:55,120 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: be named later. Wasn't Myers with Barbara I always tried 691 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: to mute that channel. Yeah, that's not my favorite. Um 692 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: And then the final team is Dick Stockton, Mark Flare, 693 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: and Jennifer Hale. So we'll see what Fox does. They 694 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: have some they have a notable hole to fill up 695 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: to play by play spot for their d team. I mean, 696 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: Dick Stockton has been doing games since about nineteen. Uh, 697 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: you know our guy Peter Schrager loses that sideline work 698 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: that he's excellent at. Wonder what they'll They'll probably come 699 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: up with some other work around, I like kind of 700 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: in the NBA. Maybe they'll do it in the you know, 701 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: in the walkways, like under the stadium. I don't know, 702 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: they'll probably come up with something. But like listening to 703 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: that group, you no offense to Dick Stockton and thom 704 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: and Chris Myers, Well, I guess some offense. Let's get 705 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: some new blood in. I mean, I know it's a 706 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: difficult job, but some of these guys football is not 707 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: their main sport. There's a sense of punching the clock, 708 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: like we can find the next generation of people, let's 709 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, there's no feeling they've been around forever. 710 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 1: I am. I'm with you. It might be the old 711 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: Damaschek thing, which maybe it's changing now. But damascheck was 712 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: always mystified that we couldn't find thirty two people on 713 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: the planet who can play quarterback on a high level. UM, 714 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: I think it's maybe a tougher jobs, and we I mean, 715 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: we're giving it respects saying it's a tough job. But 716 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: I think it's even tougher than that. The guys that 717 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: can do it, you know, call out immediately who the 718 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: player is, have an understanding of the game and a 719 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: knowledge of the teams to be able to talk for 720 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: three to four hours. I have something for people that 721 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 1: do it well, honestly, because I think Greg, We've talked 722 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 1: about this hundred times, that Gregg is good at you know, 723 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: this is happening, this flag was thrown, or you know, oh, 724 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: Sean Payton just let eight seconds go off the clock 725 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of the third quarter. Greg's having a 726 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: hissy fit over it. I don't know why at all. 727 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: Like I just watched the games and I'm sort of 728 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: like I bathe in the in the overall environment of 729 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: the game, and there are nuggets things I see, but 730 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: I need to kind of sometimes stop pause and see 731 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,359 Speaker 1: what's I'm just not great at like instant else. If 732 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: someone put me on play by play, that broadcast would 733 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: be an absolute disaster to the person. Box should not 734 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: reach out to Mr Cesler. I'm not the new blood 735 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: that there that they should be seeking at all. Sideline 736 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: reporter also a tougher job than people realize. You gotta 737 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: track down pr people to get injuries. I mean, these 738 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: jobs are they look easy and they're not easy. All right, 739 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: Well put mark, that's what's happening in the news. Greg 740 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: is thinking I could do play by play. That's why 741 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: he did not know. I'm terrible. I did do color 742 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: on college television that tu lane for a couple of years. 743 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: I could never do play by play. Throw me in 744 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: the color. That'd be fun. But I did that a 745 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: little bit that I would never it would be terrible. Yeah, 746 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: it's well, it looks like according to Wikipedia, Chris Myers 747 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: needs somebody to do color with him this year. Well 748 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: there you go. I mean, just just get like the 749 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,879 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and names.
