Finally, we do a 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: deep dive into the rookie running bag class, where to 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: take Zeke Elliott and more.

Welcome to another 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. I'm Colleen Wolf, 11 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: joined by a room filled with some heroes, Mark Sessler, 12 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: Chris Westling, and nobody else. I don't know what's happening 13 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: around here. Well, thank you guys. We are. I mean 14 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: it's I'm not sure we would have had a show 15 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: if you were. We're not here today, I mean we 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: we've found out earlier the morning that Dan who's been 17 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: he's been battling bronchitis for what feels like a long 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: time January. He's sick. We miss him. He's just not 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: here today. The heroes are starting to resemble the cast 20 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: from making the lead just dropping like flies one after 21 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: the other. It's today, that's that's actually an industry term. 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: But um, you know, we're just we're trying to get 23 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: by without Dan. I hope he's listening. If he is, Buddy, 24 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 1: get better, we really need you here. Okay, get yourself 25 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: a ZPEC, Buddy getz needs it. I promise I did 26 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: not poison him. This was not planned. His last tweets 27 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: actually was about he was accusing Dave Damashek of being 28 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: um chandler bing deep down from friends, and then he 29 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: just went radio silent after that. So I don't know 30 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: if Sheck has anything to do with this or what, 31 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: but we will move on. We will continue. Brandon, how 32 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: are you behind the glass? Being pretty good? Even though 33 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: the phone's ringing up here right now, But I'm just 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: gonna totally ignore that. Cool, that's good. That's what I 35 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: do as well. Focuses on the podcast multitask. Yeah, you've 36 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: been super active on the around the NFL subreddit. I 37 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: was on there. I saw that you're all over it. 38 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: Solid two posts going in about a week and a half. Well, 39 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: now the room is approaching the twelve hundred hero Mark. 40 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: So that's a big deal. If you guys aren't on 41 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: it yet, definitely go in there check it out. Sign up. 42 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: There's some really funny discussions going on. You guys have 43 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: been doing a great job. So with that, let's get 44 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: to some news. I want shoot to good, be alright. 45 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: So on Wednesday, DANIELO. Williams when after Vontes berfect saying 46 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: they hit on Antonio Brown cost the Steelers a Super 47 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: Bowl run. Now, Brown obviously was knocked out of that 48 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: super dramatic game and was unable to play for Denver 49 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: Chris Westling, do you think that that would have changed 50 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: the outcome? Do you think that the Steelers would have 51 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: been able to beat Denver? At least I do, and 52 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: i'd you know, it doesn't mean anything. It's just one 53 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: of these what might have been scenarios. But they outgained 54 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: the Broncos in that game, even without the best wide 55 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL. A month earlier, they had beaten 56 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: the Broncos with Antonio Brown giving Chris Harris the worst 57 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: game of his career. I think Antonio Brown is a 58 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: major X factor in a game like that. And yeah, 59 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: I don't blame the Steelers for asking what might have been. 60 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: But as Ted Thompson Packers GM once told me, either 61 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: you're all wet or you're not wet at all when 62 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: it comes to the NFL. So the Steelers aren't wet 63 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: at all. You and Ted chatting it up. It was 64 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: for my love you blue long form when you know, 65 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: talking about the Oilers always wonder if they could have 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: beaten the Steelers, but uh, it doesn't really matter. You 67 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: don't get to say you could have won. You just 68 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: you know, have to think about it forever. Two items 69 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: like that was for me a top one or two 70 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: weirdest game of the year, and it was. It was. 71 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: It was a bizarre game, and it's we replay all 72 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: these Patriots games and all frankly, all these Broncos games 73 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: endlessly Manning and Brady. That game needs to get a 74 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: little more NFL network. I don't know why it's not 75 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: on because that was one of the most interesting games. 76 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: It was so dramatic, it was so emotional on both sides. 77 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: I remember just watching it and not wanting it to end. Ever, 78 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: I watched in a in like a tavern full of 79 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: Bengals fans, and I understood a little bit better just 80 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: the roller coaster of pain that they seemed to go through. 81 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: Well for all the Bengals fans tweeting me since I 82 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: wrote this article the other day that without perfects hit, 83 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: the Steelers don't win that game. Give me a break. 84 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: There's still eighteen seconds left the second down. They need 85 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: about twelve more yards for a field goal in Big Ben. 86 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: It's feeling the moment on that drive. There's no doubt 87 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: in my mind they still get a field goal opportunity 88 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: in that situation. Now, you're right, and it's one of 89 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: those games that I mean, D'Angelo Williams basically said after 90 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: that his rival is the Bengals. Now that's suddenly the Ravens. 91 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: That how do you supersed a team like the Ravens 92 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: and the Steelers. Ravens rivally have a game like that 93 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: with the Bengals. That's yeah, that's exactly how you do it. 94 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: And these two have been going back and forth on 95 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: Twitter as well. I don't know in them, but they 96 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: sort of sound like I feel like it's sort of 97 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 1: high school. They sound like two girls going back and forth. 98 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: But in case you've missed it, I have some of 99 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: them here. So Vante's perfect um After a couple exchanges 100 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: back and forth, he said to um DeAngelo Williams, I'll 101 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,239 Speaker 1: teach you how to keep my name out of your mouth. 102 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: They'll remember I have to tackle you. Then D'Angelo Williams said, 103 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: we'll be looking forward to it after your vacation, and 104 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: please give everyone my regards. So then Perfect came back 105 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: and said, oh, my bad, Leve is way better than you, D'Angelo. 106 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: Why am I talking to a back up? Let me stop? Yeah, 107 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: I know, sorry about that, Brandon, You're gonna have to 108 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: bleep that out. And then D'Angelo said, you're right, I'm 109 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: backing the best back in the league. You're talented, but 110 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: your inability to control yourself holds you back. And he 111 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: actually does have a point there. That was the most 112 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: mature of the tweets. D'Angelo had the biggest takedown of all. 113 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't think you read that one where he basically 114 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: said something about are you gonna stop costing your games? Oh? 115 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: This one here? Would you like to read that one? Yes, 116 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: I'm just happy you unblocked your Twitter account. What are 117 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: you doing when you're not costing your team games? Yes? 118 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: So these two I cannot wait to see both of 119 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: them in the regular season. Let's move on to Blake Bortles, 120 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: who said this week on our NFL h Q that 121 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: the Allen's Allen Robinson and Alan Hearns are the NFL's 122 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: best wide receiver duo. Now, Herns he scored in seven 123 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: straight games during the season, and then Robinson, he said, 124 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: all sorts of franchise records. So Mark, are they the best? 125 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 1: And if not, who is? I don't know. Maybe Blake 126 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: Boardles is staring into the future because right now, for 127 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: my money, well, this is an aging combo with Brandon Marshall. 128 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: But Marshall and Eric Decker legitimately were the best combo 129 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: last season in my book. And then I think you 130 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: have to look at with the Packers getting Jordy Nelson back, 131 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: You've got Nelson's everybody. It's easy to forget because that 132 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: they weren't on the grid together last year. Yeah, they 133 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: were the best in two thousand. Team. I thought last 134 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: year head and shoulders about the entire league was Antonio 135 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: Brown and Martevis Bryant. But with Bryant being injured, it's 136 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: sort of or being suspended suspended that opens it up. 137 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: And the way Cole right phrased the question to Boordles, 138 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: who is the best one to punch to me? That 139 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: includes tight ends and I'll take Gronk and Julian Edelman 140 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: over everyone. I mean, we have to buy into Bordles 141 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: a little bit and what he's saying, because you and 142 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: I have each since December written articles talking about the 143 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: Jaguars is potentially the next grade offense. A lot of 144 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: people pointed them that way. And if you look at 145 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: that team in general, there aren't a lot of position 146 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: groups where there isn't one or two really promising players. 147 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: So we'll see. Maybe Boordles is speaking to us from 148 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen or beyond. Yeah, there's some interesting young 149 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: ones too. I wonder how Kevin right now Sean Jeffrey 150 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: will do. That's that could be a really good twosome. Also, 151 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe Larry Fits and John Brown is 152 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: sort of in the conversation not the best, but just 153 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: like in that realm a little bit. I think Michael 154 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: Floyd had six games in the last day games too, 155 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: So if you opened up to a trio, they would 156 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: be number one. Andrew Hawkins, Brian Hartline in the NFC 157 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: North Taylor Gabriel. Okay, all right, how about this one, 158 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez. He doesn't care who else the Broncos bring 159 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: in Kaepernick or not. Mark Sanchez said, I will bet 160 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: on myself to be the starting quarterback. I don't remember 161 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: the last time I was writing about football in an 162 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: offseason and this wasn't the story. It's always like Sanchez West. 163 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: He's gonna bring all the receivers out West to work 164 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: with him. Give me a break with the Mark Sanchez. 165 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: This you ushered in. This wasn't part of We didn't 166 00:08:39,600 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: talk about this before Brandon. I'll tell you what it means. 167 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it is because I discussed this 168 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: with the Brandon. We are not discussing Mark Sanchez again. 169 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: This summer ORATORI um not a single news item. We're 170 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: not discussing Sanchez again. Who is with me here? Dad's 171 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: not here. You don't have the boss here. I think 172 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: this is the perfect time to make new rules. We're 173 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: taking control. Until he is named the starting quarterback of 174 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, he doesn't exist. I think it's a 175 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: great rule. I think we should be able because we 176 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: have to discuss these guys ad nauseum. Everyone. We all 177 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: have rules where we don't have to write about someone 178 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: who's yours. Victor Cruz. That makes sense. Really, I didn't 179 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: know about this. Oh yeah, give me a break. When 180 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: that guy plays again, we'll write about it. So yeah, 181 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: down on the desk, we can each pick one guy, 182 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: typically one guy, because you know, the news operation has 183 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: to lurch forward. But I don't haven't picked one yet. 184 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: I just did pick one Mark Sanchez. I'm not writing 185 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: about him, and I'm not talking about him. Mine is 186 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: always a giant or a jet because if it happens 187 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: in New York, Oh, everybody's got it, write about it. 188 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: Give me a break. Do you guys know, does Dan 189 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: or Greg have one? Greg? Typically I would say does not. No. Yeah, 190 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing for them to because 191 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: they it's it's the time of year where you can 192 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: pick a new one too, you can draft a new 193 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: non right, non discussed individual. All right, fair enough, then 194 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: I guess we have to move on, move on to 195 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: r G three. His introductory press conference was yesterday with 196 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: the Browns. On Wednesday, Hugh Jackson said the Brown's offense 197 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: doesn't need to be tailored to r G three's strengths, 198 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: so Mark, What do you take away from this? Well? 199 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: I think West wrote this up very well. I mean 200 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: the question it comes off of Mike Shanahan's comments where 201 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan, RG three's former coach said, if you want 202 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: him to succeed, and he basically told RG three this, 203 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: you need to be involved in a read option bay 204 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: attack that uses your God given skills. That's who you are. 205 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: And so Hugh Jackson's toward response basically was, We're not 206 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: gonna build an entire offense around r G three and 207 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: the read option necessarily, But he's certainly in his comments 208 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: sounded like we're gonna build, We're gonna you, We're gonna 209 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: play to the strengths of all our players or wide receivers, 210 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: are running backs, in our quarterback to build a flexible 211 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: offensive works he Hugh Jackson basically told Jeff Darlington or 212 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: somebody with the Browns told Jeff Darlington that Hugh expects 213 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: r G three to start Week one. After hearing this, 214 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: he's certainly not putting all his eggs in that basket. 215 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 1: Why build your offense around r G three when you're 216 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: gonna take a quarterback at number two overall or maybe 217 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: Josh McCown beats out r G three. Who knows how 218 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: what happens there, But to me, they're not ready to say, Okay, 219 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna construct our offense around this guy because we're 220 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: betting on him as our starter. It doesn't sound like 221 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: they've totally moved on from Josh McCown either, which I 222 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: mean they sort of have to cover their bases at 223 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: this point and say whatever. But I mean, he didn't 224 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: back aways that he's excited to work with him, and 225 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: I would think that he kind of has to consider 226 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: both of them depending on how it plays out, because 227 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: it's the Browns and you never know what's going to 228 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: happen with the quarterbacks, and Josh McCown is not someone 229 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: who's going to be a problem. It almost Josh McCown 230 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: almost seems happy to be in the background and just 231 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: being a mentor inside the quarterback room. So maybe Hugh 232 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: getting around and realized that. But it also I wonder 233 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: if they are pinned on one of the two quarterbacks 234 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: in the draft, and if they didn't get him, they 235 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: go best player available, you get someone down the road 236 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: at quarterback in the draft, and McCown becomes a bigger 237 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: factor at that point because r G three mccount together, 238 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: can they even play sixteen games? There's a little proof 239 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: of that. Did you take anything else away from what 240 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: you heard from Griffin yesterday? He talked about competing and 241 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: growing and all the cliches that you normally here. But 242 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: was there anything that you sort of like read between 243 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: the lines with him? No? I don't know if there 244 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: is anything to read between the lines with r G three. 245 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: He's a cliche slogan, eary marketing machine perfect. He speaks 246 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: in row robotic marketing too. I was hoping you could 247 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: like translate it for me, maybe you would be able 248 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: to see through some of it, because I can't. Everything's 249 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: like a T shirt. Everything comes out of his mouth 250 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: is born to be on a T shirt. The we 251 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: play a kid's game? What was it for a king's ransom? 252 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: Something which he stole from someone else? And then no pressure, 253 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: no diamonds which he stole from millions of people. I'm 254 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: surprised we didn't get an iron sharp and iron, but 255 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure that happened. I think McCown gave us that one. Well, 256 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: McCown probably is a he's a good candidate for that one. 257 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: I mean I'll never forget when I was in college 258 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: and there was this like baseball player dude that like 259 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: lived in the dorm room next to me, and he 260 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: was gone and he asked me to like water a 261 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: plant in his room while he was gone. I don't 262 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: know what it was, but he gave me access to 263 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: his room and I went in there and it was 264 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: my first exposure to like how an athlete lives. And 265 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: it was slogans, all the motivational slogans all over the place. 266 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: And I asked him one time, like, dude, like, what 267 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: are they yours? Where they coming from? He's like, oh, man, 268 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: that's just what we That's what we eat and Breathe like, 269 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: we gotta keep motivating ourselves. And I think athletes just 270 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: live in a little bit of a different world. And 271 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: it's that's like every player's Instagram. If you go on it, 272 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: I get that, and they don't get where they are 273 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: without goals and without writing them down and inspiration. But 274 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: and I hope I like RG three. I hope he 275 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: does well. I just wish something original would come out 276 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: of his mouth. Yeah, that would be nice. Hopefully he 277 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: can play well too. For the Brown Steak this year, 278 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: all right, Let's move on to the Raiders. They're making 279 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: more moves. First it was collectio, suddenly you added Seawan Smith, 280 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: Bruce Irvin, and now they add Reggie Nelson. I think 281 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: that the Raiders might actually be good this year. I 282 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: do too, And to me, the most important thing, Reggie 283 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: mackenzie hit a home run in free agency just because 284 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: he strengthened his roster and allowed himself to go into 285 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: the draft. He doesn't have to go in and target 286 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: a specific position. They're not desperate in any one area. 287 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: He can play pick best player available. I mean, they'll 288 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: probably have to draft the young safety because they needed 289 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: that anyway. But I like what this roster is shaping 290 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: up is it was our best free agent still on 291 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: the There aren't a lot left, but he was the 292 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: top that list. And it's it's just so interesting to 293 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: me to see with the Raiders and Mark Davis, their 294 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: owner is one of the guys that is just flamed 295 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: by people left and right. He's odd looking, whatever you 296 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: that you want to say about him, but again, he 297 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: had the patience against what a lot of people thought 298 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: to keep the GM around, and a lot of people 299 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: around the league love Reggie mackenzie and say how talented 300 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: he is. But the first couple of years with the Raiders, 301 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: it was like, are you kidding me? Like we aren't 302 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: seeing any of what anyone's talking about. But then you 303 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: give it time and the organization starts to turn. For me, 304 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: I would like to see more teams kind of just 305 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: stop hiring and firing like madmen. Yeah, you have to 306 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: wait a little bit. You need to let things gel 307 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: and chemistry build and things to work. It doesn't just 308 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: happen overnight, and if it does, it's a lot of 309 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: luck is involved in that. He can build a franchise 310 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: with one good draft. Yeah, and I mean it's Eric 311 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: mac franchise change or draft changed everything, and now it 312 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: allows them to sign and recruit free agents. And even 313 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: with all those other players, I'd argue if they didn't 314 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: feel that there was consistency at quarterback where you can 315 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: start drafting around the quarterback, the Raiders would not be 316 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: in a much better place with Mac. With all of it, 317 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: They'd still be without one position away and they could 318 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: swing and miss for the next six years. Yeah. Not 319 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: to mention the secondary. They struggled so much with covering 320 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: tight ends, and they also lost Charles Woodson, So this 321 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: was a really really good pick up for them. All right, 322 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: what about J J. Watt? Could what retire from the 323 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: NFL early? I feel like all I keep seeing this 324 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: every time I open up another tab on my computer, 325 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: it's something about J. J. Watt talking about retiring, just 326 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: like alluding to it. So the latest one here, he 327 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: said on sports Radio six ten in Houston. It's not 328 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: going to be terribly longer, but I Am going to 329 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: play as long as I can and enjoy it and 330 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: have fun. So do you think anytime soon that this 331 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: is going to happen? What is this all about? I'm 332 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: skeptical because I know we point to Calvin Johnson and 333 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: Barry Sanders, they don't seemed to me as quite obsessed 334 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: and driven as J. J. Watt is by his legacy. 335 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: And to me, like, if you look at the last 336 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: thirty or forty years, Walter Payton, Jerry Rice Peyton, Manning, 337 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: Ray Lewis, Tom Brady probably the five most driven obsessed 338 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: football players, and I would put J. J. Watt in 339 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: their category. I think it means that much to him. Yeah, 340 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: and he still has a lot more money to make 341 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: in a lot more thresholds to cross because he's already 342 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: at the place for with another Defensive Player of the Year, 343 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: and maybe at some point an m v P he 344 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: can start to be talked about in the way that 345 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: older people people our age talk about Lawrence Taylor have 346 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: after watching him. I mean, what probably also knows that 347 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: some of the great athletes have left. Jim Brown did 348 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: that you mentioned a few of yourself. It's like there 349 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: is maybe some attraction to not with what's going on 350 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: with football in general, a lot of players are thinking 351 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: about shortened careers, but not when the money is still 352 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: there too. Plus it's always sort of sad when you 353 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: start to see a player that was so dominant for 354 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: so long at the top of his game on the 355 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: decline and still really trying to to prove everybody wrong. 356 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: I always sort of feel sad for guys who they 357 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: really think that they can still do it and still 358 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: turn it around and they're just like playing terribly at 359 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: this point in their careers, and you sort of just 360 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: like have them out there because like even like Peyton Manning, 361 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: not the Peyton Manning is in that category, but even 362 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: at the end last year when everybody was like, well 363 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak has to put him back in there. I 364 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: mean he has if they're going to play in the 365 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: super Bowl, he has to play Peyton Manning. Like, you 366 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: don't really have a choice. When you have guys like 367 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: this and a lot of guys they want to go 368 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: out on top. And we we are in a different era. 369 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: This is a different generation that doesn't think the same 370 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: way as they did in the seventies and eighties, where 371 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: you played as long as your body held up, you played, 372 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: you know, And now they didn't have life changing money 373 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: back in the seventies and now they do. And there 374 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: it's a whole with the concussion issue. I mean, Chris 375 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: Borland and Anthony Davis, Patrick Willis, all these guys retired early. 376 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: I think it's just like the peer pressure to stay 377 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: in there isn't isn't what it was? Yeah, And also 378 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: if you're what you've just we've just learned that he 379 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: like tours growing in like seven different places. Maybe you know, 380 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: the mind is thinking, I don't need this feeling every January, 381 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: so well, that can't be fun. Doesn't sound fun to me. 382 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: It can't be fun when you're hurt and you're not 383 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: playing well, Like I mean, just mentally and physically. That's 384 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: got to be completely draining for an athlete. Um. Also, guys, 385 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: big news. The NFL released their preseason schedule. It's a 386 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: big day, get excited different especially less is like, I mean, 387 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: we all were like, let's go out after this, maybe 388 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: grab some drinks. I mean, well, like, I don't even know. 389 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: I think that's why I think music abruptly stop and 390 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: it's none of it. That's sorry, none of it. I 391 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: think that honestly because I know Dan is legitimately ill 392 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: and I'm not questioning that. And I know that Greg 393 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: is somewhere in the Far East, so his agenda is different. 394 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: But I think Dan just legit stayed home, started, you know, 395 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: drinking a little bit early, getting a little bit excited 396 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: for the NFL networks one pm West Coast release the 397 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: preseason schedule. Then you just sit back and bask in 398 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: the new information. Is there is there a special that 399 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: they're doing for you? Yes, as we are up here, 400 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: you know this comes out short at shortly after one pm. 401 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: Currently our network is on fire announcing these preseason games. Well, 402 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: I let's let's dig into this. I mean, we really 403 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: need to unpack this. I was looking at the schedule, 404 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: pouring over it. I have a favorite matchup that I'm 405 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: looking forward to, Mark, why don't we start with yours? 406 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: I think for me, and it's I mean, I don't 407 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: know how to get more excited about a sporting event 408 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: than what I'm about to discuss. But the Cowboys week 409 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: one of the preseason, they're gonna travel to Los Angeles 410 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: for the first time in over two decades to play 411 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: an l A based football team. So they're already gonna 412 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: be an ox Nord so they just had to drive 413 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: an hour south, all right, So they're gonna drive an 414 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: hour south, that's right right down the coast, roll right 415 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: into Los Angeles and play the Rams. Now, the matchup 416 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: itself to be a putrid, but the the idea of 417 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: a team coming back to l A, that's where it 418 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: gets my vote. Yeah, I was. I'm equally as excited 419 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: about that matchup. Um, but I tried to pick a 420 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: different one, and I'm actually looking at the list right 421 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: now trying to decide which one I wanted. Um, but 422 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: I'm thinking Arizona at Houston that is week three, and 423 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, I finally get to see the 424 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: Cardinals again. And what will happen with brock Oswiler. Maybe 425 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: get a little taste of what's going to happen with 426 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: that offense and how it's going to gel Um. I 427 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: always get really excited for the preseason right before the 428 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: first game, and then I watch it and then something happens. Yeah, 429 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: it's like Hall of Fame game, Like around four minutes 430 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: into the second quarter, You're like, wait a minute, this 431 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: is terrible. Four more weeks, but don't like I still 432 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: get like, legitimately, I get a little excited before and 433 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: it's sort of like a buzz around here because football 434 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: is back and we get to actually watch a game. 435 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: But it's preseason, all right? Was what's yours? Preseason is 436 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: a cruel tease because football is not back. Sorry, sorry 437 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: Henry Hodgson pushing this preseason schedule on us on April seven. 438 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: That's the Director of Programming DP, Handsome hank Um. Yeah, 439 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: four months removed from the start of the preseason. I 440 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: could not possibly muster up any excitement for any of 441 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: these games. By August seven, I won't even be excited. 442 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: So you're you're picking nothing. I'm not. You asked which 443 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: games were excited for? Zero? If you if you had 444 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: to pick one, if you had to, I mean, look 445 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: at this list. You got the Browns and the Box definitely, 446 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: Titans and the Raiders. Maybe the Raiders, none of these. 447 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: That's not sweetening the Chargers. And I don't think we're 448 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: gonna get West to bend on this topic. I don't 449 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: think he has the list either, So oh perfect, All right, 450 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: well but that settles that. Let's move on then to 451 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 1: let's see what are we doing next. Oh, so, guys, um, 452 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: we have. I released my all name team this past week. 453 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: So the off season, there's so much to do. This 454 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: was one of the activities. Um, you guys know that 455 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of weird and odd names in 456 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. So I've gone through the rosters before and 457 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: I picked out names that I like and then I've 458 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: given them alternate occupations and weird lives and things like that. 459 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: That's my hobby. That's what I do in my free time. 460 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: So um, let's go around the horn here. And you know, 461 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: you don't have to pick from the list that I 462 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: put out there, and you guys can check it out 463 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: on NFL dot com.

Yeah. 484 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: It doesn't always play out, it doesn't, so hopefully he 485 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: does play a little bit better than his name like him. Yeah, Um, 486 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: I had actually a shadowy league figure email me about 487 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: a name that was left off my list, and um, this, 488 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: uh this, And he was right actually because I overlooked 489 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: this one.

Um, 492 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: that's so I have to give him a shout out. 493 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: But I don't know if you guys saw the kicker 494 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: um u c l A kicker. I have no idea 495 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: how to pronounce his last name. It's his full name 496 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: is fifty three letters. And I was hoping that Dan 497 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: was going to be here today because I really wanted 498 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: to see if he could try and pronounce this last name. 499 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: But it's John Christian and something like kaimi no yah, lou, 500 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: meka i oh kei, kuma paya, So it's something along 501 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: those lines. I'm pretty sure that's close. Yeah, I know, Baron, 502 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: I forgot about that. I actually left off an entire 503 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: like two syllables there. So um, yeah, he's uh, he's 504 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: probably the top of my list for how could he 505 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: not be? That's more than's Moan, who's the singer from 506 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: Israel Comica we will only. Oh that's close. I think, yeah, 507 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: I mean it must be. I know, like when we 508 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: we have two boys and it's we spent just as 509 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: much time in long debate, hours of discussion over the 510 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: middle name as the first name. And so I don't 511 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: know what the conversation was around this, kickers, uh what 512 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: the parents were doing there? But I mean, if it's 513 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: not a family name, there as there's a major question 514 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: stance or like trying to trying to spell that name. 515 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: Like I'm a terrible speller in general, but I mean, 516 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what age you can memorize and spell 517 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: this and on a test to think about that in school? 518 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: All right, Wes, what's your favorite name? Well, this isn't 519 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: my favorite. I'm going to get to that in a second. 520 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: I just want to commend you on Darryl Green description. 521 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm reading through this and I'm like, why is Darryl 522 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: Green's about the most common name you could have? And 523 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: he said, even if he isn't the O G. Darryl 524 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: Green Hall of Famer for the Redskins, the fastest man 525 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: in football for two decades, he's still Darryl Green O 526 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: G for offensive guards. You pulled it off. Thank you, 527 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: thank you, you pulled it off. I wasn't sure where 528 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: you were going scratch. I wasn't sure either. I don't 529 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,959 Speaker 1: even think it was a stretch. My favorite is linebacker 530 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: Cassanova Mackenzie from Auburn. Great first name and again in 531 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: your description, really make, really make scouts amorous over workouts. 532 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 1: Nicely done. Also reminds me of a All Pro safety 533 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: for the Bengals in the seventies named Tommy Cassanova, who 534 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: The Bengals were interesting in the seventies because they had 535 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: two All pros on their defense who left right around 536 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: Tommy Casanova fell in the draft because he was a 537 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: pre med student. Everybody knew he was going to be 538 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 1: a doctor. He only played about five years and then 539 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: went and became a doctor. And Mike Read their defensive tackle, 540 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: played about five years and went on to become one 541 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: of the greatest country music singer songwriters. Well hasten in 542 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: Nashville Hall of Fame, the Songwriting Hall of Fame, and 543 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: that was story time with Chris Westling. That's what I 544 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: love about west Like I all you end up telling 545 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: these stories and this is what happens, like if we 546 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: all end up going out, we will have a couple 547 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: of beers and then you'll just start telling stories like 548 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: this and they're so interesting. Well I'm glad you find 549 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: them interesting, and I'm not boring you, no never. All right, 550 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: So we actually had somebody on the subreddit Ali Packers 551 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: suggest that we go back and sort of revisit some 552 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: of our worst predictions from last year Ali Packers unless 553 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: it was Oil Packers, and I'm dyslexic, but I think 554 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: it was Ali Packers either way. Yeah, so every year 555 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: we all have to get our predictions together and write 556 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: them and they post them and you never know what's 557 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: going to happen. But a lot of times you're persuaded 558 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: by the narratives that are going on throughout the league, 559 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: and all of us sort of you know, we fall 560 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: for it sometimes. So um yeah, let's let's start off 561 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: year and um let's go through some of the worst 562 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: predictions here. So um you know I'm gonna start um 563 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: so my let's go with um my comeback player of 564 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: the Year, Sam Bradford. Yeah. So about Bradford, I mean, 565 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: it wasn't terrible, but the seventeen turnovers in like fourteen 566 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: games that that had, um, that kind of hurt my 567 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: chances for him becoming comeback player. Uh. You know, I 568 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: probably should have known by now that it's not gonna happen. 569 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: But I still hope every year, and especially this year, 570 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: maybe it will happen this year. But my optimism really 571 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: uh it just it didn't work out. The division was 572 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: crap and they still could not get in the playoffs, 573 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: which is terrible. He got better as the season went on, 574 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: he got more accurate that he was like super rusty 575 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year. Um, but the beginning 576 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: of that season really crushed him and crushed the Eagles, 577 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: and then they fired Chip Kelly and everything burned to 578 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: the ground. Well, I mean, at least in your to 579 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: your credit, I mean, what we knew when we were 580 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: when you know, we were kind of forced to make 581 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: these They're like, you, your predictions are due by August whatever. 582 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: It's like, what, okay, And I had a fever at 583 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: the time. I was like, I had like a hundred 584 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: and three fever, and I was like, like, I was 585 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: seriously delirious, And I would love to blame it on 586 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: that you were not on an island here. We know, 587 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: I got suckered in after that preseason game where he 588 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: looked phenomenal. Did you remember coming on this podcast and 589 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: saying that he's gonna he's gonna do great Chip Kelly's 590 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: offense and it didn't happen. Well, I went one step 591 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: further with Philip with the hype around Philadelphia picking here 592 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: is the worst prediction, maybe on NFL dot com of 593 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: all last season, the Eagles over the Cults and Super 594 00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty. Yeah, multiple car there should have been a 595 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: train wreck in a car wreck and a plane crashing 596 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: into it from above. I mean, you know, the cults, 597 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: the cults made sense at that time. We didn't know 598 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: what was gonna happen to the cults. We don't know 599 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen to the Eagles either. But I think 600 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: that I got sucked in with the idea that everyone 601 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: there's all this negative Chip Kelly stuff. I was like, 602 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go full all in and believe that something 603 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: kind of bella check in and insane is going to 604 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: happen with the Eagles, and I was dead wrong. I 605 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: think you also picked Chip Kelly as your We don't 606 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: need to get a Coach of the Year, you don't 607 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: need to get well, that would not. I think what 608 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: I did, which was which is the wrong way to 609 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: play this game? Is that everything lines up like, oh well, 610 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: if I believe that they're gonna win the super Bowl, 611 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly is Coach of the Year, makes absolute sense. Instead, 612 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: why not just go with someone else that has nothing 613 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: to do with the first terrible pick I made? So 614 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: you can kind of like have your right did a 615 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: terrible job? Why am I still employed here? And Calvin 616 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: Benjamin tours a c L last August, I was charged 617 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: with writing the post said I remember I closed it 618 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: with something like the Panthers are still strong enough to 619 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: win a week NFC South, but this really destroys their 620 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: chances of advancing far in the playoffs. Oh no, that's terrible. Well, 621 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: you look at Cam Newton, who was mechanically challenged at 622 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: the time and really needed a big wide receiver with 623 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: a huge strike. Soon Calvin Benjamin came off a great 624 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: rookie year and was you know Cam Newton's go to target. 625 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: It's like, who's he gonna throw to? Ted Gin? I 626 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: guess he's just gonna and we all like, honestly, I 627 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: feel like we all said that sentence. I think we 628 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: all sort of made that joke and we're like ted 629 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: gin like, seriously, this offense is in so much trouble 630 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: and um, yeah, that did not play out. Newton wins MV. 631 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: Do we know? Well, we have to get Greg and 632 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: Dan to chime in with their own predictions. They're not 633 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: getting out of this. That is a great idea, and 634 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: you guys have to hold them to it. Okay, we'll 635 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: tell them that we each did fives just so we 636 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: can stock up on Creig and that should be its 637 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: own podcast episode coming soon. Um hey, Brandon, I know 638 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: that we talked about the beginning, the fact that you 639 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: were all over subreddit, um killing it. I feel like 640 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: you're probably on there right now. I actually was to 641 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: see how many heroes we had. You have an online addiction. 642 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: That's another angle to look at it from. About three 643 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: times in nine days. That's a lot. So you uh, 644 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: you said that somebody on subreddit. Um, yes, someone said 645 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: that they wanted listener questions. So I sent out a 646 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: post earlier and I have some listener questions for you 647 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: guys to answer. Okay, all right, do it. We're gonna 648 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: get a little music going and it's about four minutes long, 649 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: so you got to be rapid quick on these all right, 650 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: all right, do it. I'm a little nervous about these questions. Colleen, 651 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: What is your favorite college memory? I don't remember any 652 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: of them. Excellence, that's what's yours. I don't have any favorite. 653 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: They were all bad memories, a terrible mark. I don't. 654 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't think we're college people. Like the day that 655 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: I threw like my books and stuff in a garbage 656 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: canon left. Actually I did tell my dad that H 657 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: and M was a bookstore on campus when it was 658 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: like a clothing store in fact, so that that worked 659 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: a little bit good. A right, Uh, we'll go Calleen again. 660 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: Have you ever stolen anything? Have I ever stolen anything? Um? 661 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: I mean I steal like pens and stuff from people 662 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: all the time, but like something big, like something more 663 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: than like a pen. I've stolen a car before. No, 664 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I'm sure I have, but 665 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: but this is going out to the public, so you don't. Yes, okay, 666 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: I stole a bag of rollos from Kroger where it 667 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: was like eleven or twelve and got caught. There we go, 668 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: and the security guard scared the crap out of me, 669 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: told me they were going to take away my scholarship 670 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: to high school. Um that I was never going to 671 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: have a future. This would ruin my life. Um. And 672 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: I was a mass Oh my god, not worth it. 673 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: A bag of roulos was not worth it. I in 674 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: high school, we went around. It was like a two floor, 675 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: two story high school. We in every room had a phone, 676 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: not a cell phone, like a real phone, and like 677 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,919 Speaker 1: we undid the mouthpiece and stole the thing that would 678 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: make you be able to hurt on the other side, 679 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: a little trinket in there. Stole like ninety to a 680 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: hundred of these, and the entire building was crippled and 681 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: there no one could call any room. And it was fantastic. 682 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: I had in my bedroom for years a bag of these. Yeah. 683 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: I mean we didn't get caught too, which is the 684 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: best part. Oh my god, that's such a marking. What 685 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: is your special talent if you have one? Um, I 686 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: can figure skate and I can fly a plane. I 687 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: don't know if that counts as a talent, but that's 688 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: I guess it's a talent. But I would say both are. Yeah, 689 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 1: I can beat anyone in Cornwall. That's so true. I've 690 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: seen it before. That's very true. And um, I probably 691 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: have about twenty five softball t shirts in my closet 692 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: from winning leagues, so softball would be one could have, 693 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: by the way, Yeah, they're like trophies, but you can 694 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: wear them. I like that. I don't know. I would 695 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: say I love to draw growing up. I don't have 696 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: time to do with that right now, but I drawing 697 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 1: maybe not that I know. I've seen your stuff. It's 698 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: not it's not recent, it's from ages ago. If it 699 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: is art never ages though, all right, let's last one, 700 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: last one. If you weren't doing this job, what would 701 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: you be doing? Um? I would well, I would probably 702 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: be an art teacher somewhere. And I don't know if 703 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: that's what I would want to be doing, but that's 704 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: what I was supposed to go to school for. Bring 705 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: in Mark to show your students. Yeah, from ten years ago, 706 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: you would be my son. I guess, um, yeah, I 707 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: don't know. Probably, Uh, that's probably what I would end 708 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: up doing. I'd like to say i'd be doing something 709 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 1: like ken Burns, because I love his job, historical documentarying. 710 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 1: But realistically, if I had never become a writer, i'd 711 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: probably be passed out in huckapoos right now. I might 712 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: be there with you at this point. I don't think 713 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: I would just do UM. I would want to be 714 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: a reporter still, like maybe a crime reporter or like 715 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,399 Speaker 1: a copspeed or something. Okay, that would be good. I'm 716 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: actually so I'm on the subreaddit now looking at some 717 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: of the submissions. Um, I'm actually kind of curious about 718 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: this one myself. Fez me seven wants to know what's 719 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: your favorite beer or alcoholic drink. I'm a beer guy. 720 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,399 Speaker 1: That's what I tend to. That's my default drink. Um. 721 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: I usually drink an amber beer. I think Red Trolley 722 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: is what I've been drinking mostly. But I'm not like 723 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: married to it or anything. Yeah, I don't. I don't 724 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: discriminate widely. But um, I would just say I'll have 725 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: like a beer of the summer that I like, and 726 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: I'll latch onto that and then it'll change down the road. 727 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: So is there anything that you're that you're all about 728 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: right now? If I beer and vodka, I think smics 729 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 1: is my favorite. Really, Mark uh Dan and I have 730 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 1: spent many in the afternoon with with greyhounds.

I wonder if he has one 733 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: right now?

It's like super hoppy, 736 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: but it's a light um alcohol content. And even keel 737 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 1: By Ballas Point is so good.
