Speaker 1: Instagram account. Um. Let's dive into some some football, Okay.

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: I wanted to start with an interesting nugget I saw

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: this weekend on this little thing they call the Internet,

36
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: and the Broncos are for sale right now because Pat

37
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: Bowland passed away and they've been you know, if you're

38
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: a Bronco fan, you follow it probably much closer than

39
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: I do. It's been one of the bigger stories, I'm

40
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: sure in the city of Denver. Uh, and just the

41
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: state of Colorado. I mean, the Broncos are historic brand

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and everything going on with Boland's kids whatever,

43
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: the league has tried to get involved and just trying

44
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: to facilitate a sale of the Denver Broncos. And the

45
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: article that I saw this weekend was that one of

46
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: the Walton's they owned this thing called Walmart. Uh, it's

47
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: pretty successful company, prints a lot of money. All the

48
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: children are typically you know, top twenty richest people in

49
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: this country. They they've done pretty well for themselves. Uh.

50
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: Walmart pushes a lot of product, is interested in buying it,

51
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: and is prepared to make an offer over four billion dollars. Now,

52
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: just because the NFL is unique. Right, if if I

53
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: wanted to buy your house and I made an offer

54
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: so great you couldn't refuse, you'd give it to me.

55
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: If you own a business and your business were a

56
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: million dollars and I offer you five million dollars, you're

57
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: probably taking the five million dollars. But the NFL does

58
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: not necessarily just give their team away to the highest bidder.

59
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: They're going to pick and choose right now. Ideally, money

60
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: you couldn't just because the NFL wanted you to own

61
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: the team and you were only gonna offer two and

62
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: a half billion, you wouldn't get the team because ultimately

63
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: the family has to sign off on it. But the

64
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: NFL likes placing people right, David Tepper wasn't a minority owner.

65
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: I think with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jimmy has them same thing.

66
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: Those guys were in the country club of the National

67
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Football League. So I I can't speak to league matters

68
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: if this guy is guaranteed to get the brand, the team,

69
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: to be the owner of the Denver Broncos. But I

70
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: think it shows you. Just a couple of years ago,

71
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: David Temper purchased the Carolina Panthers for two point two

72
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: billion dollars. To me, it was fascinating because he paid cash.

73
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: He gave cash for the team. Now Waltons could easily

74
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: to I read that. I think Tim Walton was his name,

75
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: is worth seventy million dollars because I saw a bunch

76
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: of people like four billion. That's pretty crazy. Yes, seventy billion.

77
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: You do the math. I don't know exactly what, but

78
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: if you were worth seven hundred thousand dollars, I don't

79
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: know what the equivalent of that would be, but it

80
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: wouldn't be very much money. It's a drop in the

81
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: bucket to the guy. But one thing, I mean, it's

82
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: just very clear that this team is going to go

83
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: for an astronomical amount of money. And the number one

84
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: thing that jumps out to me and listen, if you

85
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: listen to me for a while, you know, I've been

86
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: relieved of my duties before. I have been fired multiple times,

87
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: once in the NFL and once in the dying business

88
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: of terrestrial radio. And both times they were when new

89
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: management came in, obviously Chip Kelly with the Philadelphia Eagles,

90
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: and then I got this new kind of program director

91
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: they're called in radio. Now, those people, unlike in this situation,

92
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: didn't own the team, but in Chip's situation, gave full power.

93
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: In the radio situation, this guy's the boss. He gets

94
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: ownership over the operation. And anyone that's listening to this

95
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: knows if you work in an industry where you know

96
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: management or ownership has changed, you know everyone in the

97
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: building you know it's a little on edge. There, there's

98
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: some unknown There are no scholarship players in the private

99
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: sector no matter unless you're great, and when you're great,

100
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: everyone wants to keep you at all moments. But when

101
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: there is any question mark, when there's any butting of heads,

102
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: when there's ever any philosophical differences, changes are made. And

103
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: sometimes when ownership changes hands, it doesn't just have to

104
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: be the NFL. There's a natural change just because people

105
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: want to institute their own people. People want if I'm

106
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna spend this amount of money, I want some of

107
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: my own people, or people I know, or people I'm

108
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: comfortable with, or people that I hired to be running

109
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: certain situations right to be running certain parts of the business.

110
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: And so when I see that this now it's basically

111
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: official that this team is going off the market, I

112
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: would say, in the next six months, someone will own

113
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, whether it's a Walton or whether it's

114
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: some other billionaire, and that guy is going to ultimately

115
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: want his own people in there sooner than later. So

116
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: the number one thing that stood out to me was

117
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos don't have Mike Shanahan as their head coach.

118
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: They don't This guy is not going to inherit Sean

119
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: Payton or Bill Belichi, a guy with a ton of

120
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: equity in the fan base. They have this younger, energetic,

121
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: first time head coach, zero equity. And here's the other problem.

122
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: Their general manager, who's highly respected, I think it's pretty

123
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: good at his job, was hired what's upon a time

124
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: by John Elway, who now really isn't even associated with

125
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: the operation. Now, if these guys win, probably won't be

126
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: any issues. It's easy for the owner to just keep

127
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: these guys on and keep rocking and rolling. But when

128
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: this general manager just made a pretty historic trade for

129
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: a player who get ready for this, Russell Wilson is

130
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: going to get an extension, whether that's before the draft,

131
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: whether that's after the draft, whether that's in training camp,

132
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: it's coming. They are going to make a large financial

133
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: commitment to Russell Wilson. That's that's that's a fact that

134
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: is coming. So they're all their chips are in the

135
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: middle of the table on this player with this new

136
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: head coach and this generalman. Well, here's the thing. They

137
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: don't fire players, especially your highest paid player who's gonna

138
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: have a ton of guaranteed money. He's safe, right, see

139
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: it in the NBA all the time. You don't fire Lebron,

140
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,119
Speaker 1: but sure as hell fire his coach, and he's fired

141
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: a lot of them. So Russell Wilson once he signs

142
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: this new extension is gonna be safe four years. Whether

143
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: it goes good now, you would say, based on his career,

144
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: should go pretty good, but you know, you never know.

145
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes these trades. A player is no longer what he

146
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: once was. We saw signs of it last year. He

147
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: wasn't running as much as he used to. To To me,

148
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: I've seen him in some pictures. I saw him at

149
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: the Denver Bronco game or the Denver Nugget game, tapping

150
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: up the m v P Yoki and he Russell looks

151
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: a little chubby to me, you know, just a little overweight,

152
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: and he's shorter, so he kind of wears it. But regardless,

153
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: he's going nowhere. There's immediate pressure on the head coach,

154
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: in the general manager. This team needs to win. This

155
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: team needs to win now. I mean I've said it forever.

156
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: There was going to be a team in the a

157
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: f C West who is highly disappointing, and that team

158
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: may end up going nine and eight. Look at last

159
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: year the Chargers. They went nine and eight. It was

160
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: a disaster, missing the playoffs with the top five quarterback

161
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: losing to the Raiders, who had an interim coach who

162
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: had their star wide receiver in jail like that, that

163
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: was that's hard to shake. Now you make the playoffs

164
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: this year, you win the division, people will forget the

165
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos have been really shitty for a while, but

166
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: everyone's been hyping up their talent, and rightfully so. They

167
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: have some good players. But now you add the quarterback

168
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: to me. The general manager he hires this coach and

169
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: he's he went all in on it. They did a

170
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: big like if you follow them on social media, they

171
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: did like in depth features. He really likes the guy,

172
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: and listen, I'm rooting for him. You see Davis bald guy.

173
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: But man, if you go eight nine year one, that

174
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: someone spends four billion dollars on a team, wouldn't shock

175
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: me if the coaches one and done. Given the pressure

176
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: and the the just the scrutiny that's gonna be on

177
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: this franchise with a brand new owners just the way

178
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: it happens, just the way it rolls. I mean, it's

179
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: just there's no way around it. There's a pretty cons

180
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: assistant theme in the NFL when it comes in new ownership.

181
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to Carson Wentz and I think the key

182
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: as a general manager is to understand the market, whether

183
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: that's free agency or whether that's the draft, because ultimately,

184
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: your role, like the coach's role, is to coach the

185
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: team right, to inspire the team schematically, inspirationally. They are

186
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: the leader of the squad. As the general manager, your

187
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: job is to run the personnel pro department and have

188
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: your franchise ready basically three times a year. Right the

189
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: off season. What starts free agency. The combine that area

190
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: to free agency is when you figure out how much

191
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: guys are gonna cost. Then the NFL Draft, which is

192
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, and understanding where I have

193
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: to draft guys if I want to pick them right.

194
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: So it's not what guys I want, that's part of it.

195
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: But if I want player X, do I have to

196
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: draft him and pick twenty eight or can I get

197
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: him and picks sixty? You have to understand the market,

198
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: and then training camp, understanding wave guys to get waved

199
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: guys to get caught some trades. Those are the three

200
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: main times where you can acquire players. That is the

201
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: general manager's job. But understanding the market value to me

202
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: is a very very underrated part about gms. You know,

203
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: it's why I got a guy like Mike Mayock got

204
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: fired because and and it might not have been his fault,

205
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: it could have been Gruten's. They kept drafting players in

206
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: the wrong spots, like you're taking a second round player

207
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: at pick eight, Like what are you doing? And then

208
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: you get in trouble when that guy doesn't live up

209
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: to the hype. Well, of course he doesn't because the

210
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: market was off from to begin with. And when you

211
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: make a trade for any player, whether it's a fifth

212
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: round pick or whether it's a first round pick, it's

213
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: based on the market. Right. The reason Davante Adams was

214
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna go for a one and a two was because

215
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: in previous years, top flight players have gone from first

216
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: and second round picks. Now, I argued, like Jalen Ramsey,

217
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, those guys went for two ones in a two.

218
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: Now a little different. Those guys were younger, first contract,

219
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: but still regardless, like the market was the market. And

220
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: then the Chiefs got a little bit more for Tyreek Hill.

221
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: And you could argue it's close, but Tyreek it has,

222
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, more impactful career in his in you know,

223
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: when he was with the Chiefs, part of it. He's

224
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: been a Super Bowl champion, He's played I guess Devant's

225
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: played in big games, but it feels like Tyreek's played

226
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: in a couple more. But still I thought the Packers

227
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: didn't quite get enough. But regardless, those general managers tried

228
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: to get a feel for the market. Well, it was

229
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: reported today by Mike Sando that there was no market

230
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: for Carson Wentz. There were no teams that wanted him

231
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: in the league. And part of it was well, of

232
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: course not he was run out of town in Philly,

233
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: given a new lease on life, goes to a team

234
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: where the head coach loves the guy, and then by

235
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: the end of his tenure, which was very short lived,

236
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: and obviously his tenure was still going on there, but

237
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: before he was you know, quote unquote put on the

238
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: trading block, they started bad mouth and him left and right.

239
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: So right away, you that would take away a large

240
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: percentage of teams. The Eagles, who invested a ton of

241
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: cash and a ton of draft capital into the guy,

242
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: couldn't get him out of the building fast enough. He

243
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: goes to a really good team, they missed the playoffs,

244
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: and then they can't stand them by the end like that, happened.

245
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: We all saw it, and then for whatever reason, the

246
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: Washington Football team traded two third round picks for the guy.

247
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: As Mike Sandals said, there was no market. And part

248
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: of the reason with a guy like that, he was

249
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: really expensive. You see what Jimmy Garoppolo. Why is our

250
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: people not banging down the doors for Jimmy Garoppolo because

251
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't cost twelve million dollars, he cost twenty seven

252
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: even on a lower level Baker Mayfield. If Baker Mayfield

253
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: cost five million dollars, there would have been multiple teams

254
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: very interested in He cost eighteen million. I think it's

255
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: a nineteen. It's like eighteen eight or something. It's a

256
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: lot of money. It's not a small amount of cash.

257
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: And it's a salary cap league. This is not Baseball.

258
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: It's not the New York Kicks and all these teams

259
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: that can spend, you know, uh, an unlimited amount of money.

260
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: You have caps on the amount of money you can spend,

261
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: and some of these teams have run through salary cap space.

262
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: So when I see the Washington football team, commanders, commandos

263
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: didn't know the value, Like, that's a poor job by

264
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: their general manager. That's unacceptable. Like, that's low level operation. Now, ultimately,

265
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: let's say Carson is good for them, you can say, well,

266
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. No, it does matter because they gave

267
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: up two three, two third round picks. Like the the

268
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: the profit is in the purchase price, not the end result.

269
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: Like when you buy a home for four grand and

270
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: then you sell it for one point five. You didn't

271
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: make the money when you sold it for one point five.

272
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: You made it when you purchased it. So if Carson

273
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: Wentz is good, they had to invest two third run picks.

274
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: They didn't need to spend that much. You knew the

275
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: cults were getting rid of the guy. They couldn't the

276
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: owner couldn't look at him any longer, said get this

277
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: guy out of my building. And then no teams in

278
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: the league wanted him. So I just just a bad job.

279
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: You know, there's reasons average and below average franchises stay

280
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: low level, and this is a good example looking at

281
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: the Jets. Another story that came out of Mike Sandos

282
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: Weekly article was that the Jets struggled to get a

283
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: lot of free agents that they were interested in. Now

284
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: they still landed some guys the tight end from Cincinnati,

285
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: Azuma Uh they landed Lake and Tomlinson. Now they paid

286
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: him a lot of money. He's a thirty one year

287
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: old guard. So I would imagine there weren't that many

288
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: teams going to break the bank for a guy over

289
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: thirty and that you're gonna have to pay ten plus

290
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, But they did. I think it's

291
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: pretty understandable why no players, if the money was even

292
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: remotely close, would want to play for the New York Jets.

293
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: Let's look at it just from a basic football perspective.

294
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: I did the math the last five years, over several

295
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: coaches from Bowls to uh Adam Gaze to now Robert Salem,

296
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: they have averaged a little over four wins the season.

297
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: That is terrible, Like that is low level football in

298
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: a league full of parody, in a league where you

299
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: know every once in a while you should win nine games.

300
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: They're averaging four point four wins a season for a

301
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: half decade with several coaches. So the franchise, for whatever reason,

302
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: just reeks of losing right now. And then you factor

303
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: in the market and one from a media perspective, it's

304
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: pretty intense, like you play for the Jags or you

305
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: play Hell, even Tampa with Tom Brady. It's pretty low key.

306
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: I worked for the Eagles. I saw it. It was nuts.

307
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: That northeastern corridor of Philly, d C. The two New

308
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: York teams, the Patriots, like those are intense markets. It

309
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: is not for everyone. The forty nine is one of

310
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: the biggest brands in the league. It's not you know,

311
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: it's kind of chill. It's not. You go to an

312
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: O t a practice here in a couple of weeks,

313
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: I'll be standing there. They'll be like five media members.

314
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: You go to an Eagles or a Giant or a

315
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: Jets practice, there are people everywhere. And then you get

316
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: in these press conferences. It's just intense, you know. So

317
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: if you get the choice, you would avoid that. Not

318
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: because you're scared of the media or whatever, but like,

319
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: why would you want to deal with something if you

320
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: don't have to deal with it, especially if you're not

321
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: gonna win, So you're like, more than likely we're gonna lose.

322
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: And two, I'm just gonna have to answer all these

323
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: questions NonStop and the intensity is never gonna stop. And

324
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: then you also factor in their taxes are outrageous, like

325
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: a lot, like California, like our taxes are outrageous. But

326
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: at least you know, if you go to the Rams,

327
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: or now you go to Herbert and the Chargers, or

328
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: you go to Kyle Shanahan, you you're gonna have some success.

329
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, they're offering me the most money.

330
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a hit financially because you know you start,

331
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: you're in the top tax bracket that you're gonna get hit. Well,

332
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: at least i'm gonna win. If I go to the Jets,

333
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get dinged financially and I'm gonna lose and

334
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of media are gonna talk about me screw this.

335
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's really that complicated. Right, Once

336
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: upon a time, when I first got to the NFL,

337
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: they had Rex Ryan, their defense was legit, they had

338
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: a top running game. Team was good. So you will

339
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: look past like, yeah, I'll take a little financial hit

340
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: quote unquote to go win. People did it for years

341
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: with the Patriots for decades. For multiple decades. You went

342
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: to New England, you took less money usually, but you

343
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: knew you were gonna win some football games and have

344
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: a chance to play in big games in the playoffs.

345
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: So you could overlook, you know, whatever the negativity was.

346
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: And it's not an easy place right bills in your ass,

347
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: the taxes there aren't you know light, So in the

348
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: media there is not light. But at least you knew

349
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: you were gonna win double digit games and be hosting

350
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: playoff games with the Jets as the opposite, you're getting

351
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: ready for can Coon in early January. So they have

352
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: a long long way to go and the number one

353
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: question that's gonna have to be answered there, Like with

354
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: all these young quarterbacks, Trevor Lawrence, Zack Wilson, Trey Lance,

355
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: Justin Fields a little. I guess mac Jones, but we

356
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: saw mac Jones be a starter for a playoff team.

357
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: Can these guys play, you know, and it's gonna be

358
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: very like of all the non mac Jones. Like one

359
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: reason mac Jones had success, right, he went to Bill Belichick,

360
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: a team with a good defense and a team with

361
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: a good running game. That was a great landing spot

362
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: for a year old quarterback. Fields went to a place

363
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: where everyone got fired, the old line sucked. Trey Lance

364
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: a little like Mac Jones went to a really successful

365
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: organization and dinn't have to play. Zack Wilson's thrown out

366
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: of the fire with the shitty team. Now I'm not

367
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: even sure he's that good, but still, I mean, most

368
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: people would have struggled, and Trevor Lawrence had Urban Meyer

369
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: in the disaster that was the jack's right. So these

370
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: were not easy situations. But eventually, if these teams are

371
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: gonna turn the corner, you're gonna need, especially the Jets,

372
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: they're gonna need Zack Wilson to be good. Like looking

373
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: back on Rex Ryan, in those couple of years they

374
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 1: were successful with Sanchez, he didn't really have to do

375
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: that much. I'm pretty sure they led the league in

376
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: rushing and their defense was elite. So none of these

377
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: young guys, and definitely Zack Wilson does not have that.

378
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: They're not gonna lead the league in rushing and their

379
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: defense last year was atrocious, so that they got a long,

380
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: long way to go. I think it's gonna be very,

381
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: very difficult for Joe Douglas and uh and Robert Salom

00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: Peter Schreeger of Good Morning Football said that a curve

410
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: ball has potential to happen. Come the NFL draft and

411
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker, this guy that played for the University of Georgia,

412
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: who you know, unless you're like really deep into the

413
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: weeds or you're an SEC fan, you probably don't quite

414
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: know who he is. And he kind of threw it

415
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: out there that it's not inconceivable that Trent ball Key

416
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: at the number one overall pick, would take Trayvon Walker.

417
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: And he compared it a little bit too. Now, this

418
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: this guy wasn't the number one overall pick, but once

419
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: upon a time, I think he was like the seventh

420
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: or the ninth pick. The four de Niners took Alden

421
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: Smith out of Missouri, and a couple of years later,

422
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: you like had more sacks than anyone through two years

423
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL, So it was like, what a pick.

424
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: But at the time I remember being in the NFL

425
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: thinking like, that's a pretty bold, crazy pick. And the

426
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: one thing I will give Trent Baulky credit on he

427
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: will take big swings and he likes taking guys with

428
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: elite physical attributes. He did it with both the guys

429
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: out of Oregon. Eric Arms, didn't the Forrest Buckner in

430
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: back to back years. He did it with Mike you Potty,

431
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: he did it with Navaral Ball, and he's done with

432
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: a lot of players in his tenure. When he was

433
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: with San Francisco and now he's with obviously the Jackson

434
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: they had the number one overall pick and one question

435
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: mark that's kind of out there. And I saw Jim Naggy,

436
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: who runs the Senior Bowl, compared Aidan Hutchinson, who was

437
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: rumored to be potentially the number one overall pick, compared

438
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: him to Chris Long, and Chris Long had a really

439
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: good career, Super Bowl Champion, was a top pick, had

440
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: a decade plus long career, was a very successful pass rusher.

441
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: But that was his kind of comp and it was clear,

442
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: you know now Chris battled some injuries, but like, if

443
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: you could redo the draft, Chris Long would not have

444
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: been the number two overall pick, but he clearly would

445
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: have been a top you know, probably a first round pick.

446
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: And one knock on Aidan Hutchinson is like, how high

447
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: is this ceiling? And this is a hard balance because

448
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: I saw this quote I read it in Peter King's

449
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: article today because an executive was pushing back on guys

450
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: with lower ceilings and basically because we use the word

451
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: he's an overachiever. And this guy had a good quote.

452
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: He said, when did being an overachiever become a bad thing?

453
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: And it's true, like Tiger Woods is an overachiever, Kobe

454
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: Bryant was an overachiever. Tom Brady is an overachiever. Elon

455
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: Musk is an overachiever. Jeff Bezos is an overachiever. The

456
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: highest level of successful people in any industry I would

457
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,959
Speaker 1: consider overachievers. Now, the thing is with pro sports, just

458
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: because you're an over achiever. If if you're an overachiever

459
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: with Trent Williams or Tyrone Smith's talent at tackle, you're

460
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: going to dominate. If you just have McKay Beckton's work ethic. Well,

461
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: if you get just stay on the field, you're gonna

462
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: be okay because your talent is so high level. But

463
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: Mike McGlinchey, who was once upon a time drafted number

464
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: nine overall by the Sandsco forty, doesn't have elite talent,

465
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: so he has to be an overachiever just to be

466
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: a solid starter. And if I could take and I've

467
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: seen it before, like two guys that were quote unquote

468
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: super high character guys, super considered overachievers because they didn't

469
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: they lack some of the physical attributes were Solomon Thomas

470
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: and Cleveland Farrell, one out of Stanford and one out

471
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: of Clemson. They were both drafted. I think Solomon was

472
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: third overall and the next year Cleveland Farrell was the

473
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: fourth overall pick to the Raiders. Neither of them are

474
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: very good. And it's not because of lack of effort.

475
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: It's not because of lack of trying. It's a simply

476
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: lack the physical attributes. Now, when I watched the kid

477
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: in Michigan, and I watched a lot of Michigan games,

478
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: to be he's much more talented than both those guys,

479
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have the longest arms and people just wonder, like,

480
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: is he a dominant player? If you're just drafting a

481
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: guy because you know you can get a ten year player,

482
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: is that the right move when you know you can

483
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: Just like if I could tell a guy before he

484
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: gets up to two it at bat, right, Bryce Harper,

485
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: I can say, would you take a stand up double

486
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: right now? Or would you take your chances of hitting

487
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: a home run in the ninth inning to win the game.

488
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: I bet most of the elite players would say, give

489
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: me my opportunity to hit a home run over, just

490
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: like I'll put you at second base right And I

491
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: think most general managers that have some konas, that have

492
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: some stones want to take a big swing. Now. I

493
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: text a couple of people and they thought it would

494
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: be a pretty bold move. This Trayvon Walker guy one

495
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: year starter, not the most productive guy, but he's six

496
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: ft five, he's two dred and seventy pounds, he's got

497
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: thirty five five and a half inch arms that is

498
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: crazy long, and you're at a four or five. An

499
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: absolute freak show. Now, we've seen it go both ways.

500
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: We've seen freak shows get drafted really high and be

501
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: complete bus because ultimately you have to play football, but

502
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: this guy was not playing it like cal Poly no offense.

503
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: Actually on the come up, this guy was a starter

504
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: at one of the best defenses in the last twenty years.

505
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: So he has a lot of physical atcheutes and that

506
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 1: defense was not just letting you fly up the field

507
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: and chase the quarterback. Right, So you have to balance

508
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: how good can this guy get because to me, part

509
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: of drafting someone really high, Like it's why I like

510
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: that forty nine is taking tray Lance over mac Jones,

511
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: because ultimately it's not about even right now, it's about

512
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: the next five years now. That potential gets a lot

513
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: of people fired, especially in the sporting world, right potential, potential, potential. Eventually,

514
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: you gotta have results, you gotta get the job done,

515
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to play. But I like, look

516
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: at the Bills are a great example. They went all

517
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: in on stential and to meet potential when you have

518
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: the overachieving mindset. And this is where the scout scouting

519
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: department has to do a good job. What type kid

520
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: is he? What's his character? Right up? Like, uh, what's

521
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: you know? What do coaches say about him? Just what's

522
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: the person? Because if you feel very good about the person.

523
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: Then I like taking chances on the elite talent or

524
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: the guy with the elite attributes. But when the person

525
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: is you know, it's like guys kind of average worker,

526
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: doesn't love football. I stay away. So I don't have

527
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: that information on this player, but it wouldn't shock me

528
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: if Balky takes a swing for the fences. The other

529
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: thing is the draft. That's right around the corner. Ultimately,

530
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: I would say even way more than free agents. Ultimately,

531
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: to me, free agency is to supplement your your team

532
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: because ultimately you build your you know, your long terms

533
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: the same success unless you're the Ramps through the draft,

534
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: and let's face it, they kind of have to. They

535
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: just use those picks to trade for players Stafford Jalen Ramsey.

536
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean their best player is a is a drafted

537
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: player in um in Aaron Donald. But part of the

538
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 1: reason the draft is so powerful because I get you

539
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: on a cost controlled number, even if you're the number

540
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: one overall pick, but second third, fourth rounders for years.

541
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: So I have you under cost controlled contract at a

542
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: relatively low number, and it's right around the corner. This

543
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: is the lifeblood of This is what scouts and general

544
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: managers work all season long for and it's not very

545
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: far away and the paralysis by analysis. And I saw

546
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah tweeted out, I think Phil Savage, who's buddy

547
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: of mine, too, kind of the fog of this time

548
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: of year. And what he means is we are so

549
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: far separated from the time these guys last played a game,

550
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: so all you've had to analyze since you know the

551
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: last game was played like early January. But most players

552
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: in the draft did not playing in the National Championship.

553
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: A lot of them played in ball games before Christmas,

554
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: like that is a very very long time ago. So

555
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: all I'm evaluating these guys on now are some All

556
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: Star games, but mainly the Combine in pro days, and

557
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: I think you can over value things that don't necessarily

558
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: matter where when I love the guy in the draft

559
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: process during the fall, going into the school, I'm telling

560
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: my boss is about him. They like the guy, We

561
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: really like the player. Let's say he's a second round player.

562
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, this guy can really play. I will pound

563
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: the table for him. And then he goes to the

564
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: Combine or he goes to the Pro Day and he

565
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: puts up shitty numbers and that immediately scares people off.

566
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: It just does. It's a natural reaction. If I thought

567
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: this guy is a second round player and then he

568
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: runs really slow, it's like, wow, is he really going

569
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: to go in the second round? And then you have

570
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: to balance, well, do we can we get this guy

571
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: in the third round because we still like him? Or

572
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: are we off the scent? And I think teams right

573
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: now are trying to build their board and and try

574
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: to convince themselves are we staying on this player or

575
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: are we pivoting to other players? And there's no right

576
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: or wrong answer to that right now. But you figure

577
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: that out in six, eight, ten months. Like once you

578
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: see these guys plays rookies, you're like, yeah, we screwed

579
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: that up, or yeah we overthought that one, or yeah

580
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: we uh, we did a good job. We stuck by

581
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: our guns. We let the take speak for itself. A

582
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: lot of teams, Uh, what they do is if you

583
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: want to change your draft grade, you lock it in

584
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: during the season. So if I give a guy whatever,

585
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: however you numerically quantify a player, right, if it's based

586
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: on your own team, right, he'd be a starter for us,

587
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: He'd be a functional starter, he'd be a backup if

588
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: you do it that way. If you do it on

589
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: a round grade, like I think the guy's a second rounder,

590
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: I think he's a third rounder. You lock that in

591
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: usually like an early January. Then if you want to

592
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: change your grade during this process the combine the pro days,

593
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: you have to put in like a separate report, in

594
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: a separate grade, where when I was with the Eagle,

595
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: you could kind of fluidly do it. So it's like,

596
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, I thought this guy. I did it with

597
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. I love Keenan Allen. I had a first

598
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: round grade on him, and then he ran slower, he

599
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't run, I kind of forget now and I ended

600
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: up putting a third round grade on him, and it

601
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: was just stupid. Like I watched the guy play. He

602
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: was a dominant player from the moment he was basically born,

603
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: and he's gone on to have an elite career. But

604
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: I overthought the process, and I think that can happen.

605
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: But a lot of these teams now have taken that

606
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: ability to weigh because you know of the way that

607
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: they do their draft grades. And then last but not least,

608
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: just the quarterbacks. I think the quarterback inflation is out

609
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: of control. You know. Peter King wrote that he thinks

610
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: three guys to go in the top twenty, or maybe

611
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: an executive told him three guys to go in the

612
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: top twenty. I saw great co Sell said he wouldn't

613
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: think it's crazy if five guys go in the first round.

614
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: You gotta be very, very careful because if you draft

615
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: the wrong guy, and when you overdraft quarterbacks, if I

616
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: overdraft the defensive lineman, that guy can still play for me.

617
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: That guy can still rotate in. If I overdraft a

618
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver, I can still use that guy. When I

619
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: overdraft a quarterback and then it turns out that he's terrible,

620
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: he becomes a backup and he's used. Only one guy

621
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: can play. So this quarterback class coming into the season.

622
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: Throughout the season, we all viewed these guys. The most

623
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: talented guy, Malik Willis as a major project. Kenny Pickett

624
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: is like a poor man's Kirk Cousins. Kirk ass went

625
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: in the fourth round. Now I understand that Mac Jones

626
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 1: is in that kind of realm too. He went fifteenth overall.

627
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: Mac Jones a way better player than Kenny Pickett. And

628
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: then you've got guys like Desmond Ritter, and some of

629
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: the comps I've heard are like Marcus Mariota and Dak Prescott. Well,

630
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott also went the fourth round, and if we

631
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: could redo Mariota's draft, no way he goes in the

632
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: first round. So when I hear some of the comps

633
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: on these players, I go, well, none of these guys

634
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: would have gone in the first round. So I understand

635
00:33:55,200 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: the inflation with that position is understandable, it's real. But

636
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: when you make a investment, like right now, if you're

637
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna buy a house to the peak of the market,

638
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: better be prepared because if ship goes south, you could

639
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: be weighing over your head and it's it's not something

640
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: easy to pivot off of right, and that to me,

641
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: that's quarterbacks. You can miss at other positions, but when

642
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: you miss a quarterback, because ultimately you're gonna have to

643
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: force that guy into play. Once I draft a quarterback,

644
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: I would say in the top fifty picks. That would

645
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: include the early in the second round. Look at the

646
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: Broncos Withdrew Lock. You're just in bed with the guy.

647
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: You gotta play him, and then it kind of derails everything.

648
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: And when you draft a guy in the first round,

649
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: you you have to play him right there, there is

650
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: no getting around it. Maybe you can red shirt of

651
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: a year like Trey Lance did last year. Like it

652
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: sounds like people want to do with Malik Willis. Let's

653
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: say the Steelers drafted and they start Mr Bisky, But

654
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: for the most part, within twelve months, that guys you're

655
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: starting quarterback and then typically it's gonna start for you

656
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. So if he sucks, you're

657
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: in trouble. Because like the Titans got kind of lucky,

658
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: right they made a trade for Ryan tanney Hill and

659
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: then it was clear Tannyhill was just a lot better

660
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 1: than Mariota and they were able to pivot right. Look

661
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: at the Bears. I mean the Bears had Mitch it

662
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: did not work, and then they ended up with Fields,

663
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: who I really like Fields, but who knows what. If

664
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: he's not any good, they just might be in quarterback

665
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: purgatory and be stink forever. So there is just an

666
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: element when you invest at the quarterback position, especially high.

667
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: If I take a guy in the third, fourth, fifth round,

668
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: whatever guy could be a backup. I take a guy

669
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: in the top thirty two picks. Like I said, I'd

670
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: even argue fifty picks, but definitely a first round pick

671
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: because that means he has a fifth year option. The

672
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: clock starts immediately, the pressure starts immediately, and the fans

673
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: are locked in and wanting to see that guy playing.

674
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: It's hard to blame him because it's like, well, you

675
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: guys like this guy enough to draft him this high.

676
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: Let's see him play. And let's face it, these guys,

677
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: this quarterback class was not touted highly for a reason.

678
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: The talent just isn't really there. And if we end

679
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: up seeing three of these guys go in the top twenty,

680
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a lot of general managers, in my opinion,

681
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:06,080

690
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: a little mail back at John Middlecop. I'm gonna need

691
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of mail back questions for this upcoming weekend.

692
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: So if you have a question, fire into the d

693
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: M s. Um this. We may not have too many

694
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: questions on this one, but the d M s are

695
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: really simple. It's just my name at John middlecopin Institute

696
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: and fire any questions you want. You know, football could

697
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: be life, it could be uh, you know, pursuit of happiness.

698
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to just be on you know, National

699
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: Football League Star with Zach who has a National Football

700
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: League question? When do you think Snyder gets the boot?

701
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: Seems like many things he's doing wrong and Goodell keeps

702
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: sweeping it under the rug. Uh. I don't necessarily think

703
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: like Goodell's on his side, you know, like Rogers pro

704
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: Snyder or anti Snyder. I think it's a tough situation.

705
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: I mean, technically that's his boss. It's not his job

706
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: to kick him out of the league. Uh. They're gonna

707
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: need substantial evidence of him doing something that is you know,

708
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: unbecoming to the levels where they can kick him out

709
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: because he clearly doesn't want to go, but people are

710
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: coming for his throat. The minority owners have been doing

711
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: everything humanly possible to ruin his name and it just

712
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: hasn't stuck. Now that email scandal led to Gruden that

713
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: that clearly was a bizarre time, like how how did

714
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: they not take him out there? But they didn't? Um,

715
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, my guess is Snyder give him this. He's

716
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: a survivor, he's a fighter. It's gonna it's gonna get

717
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: even uglier before he goes, if he goes. You know,

718
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 1: I think we've acknowledged it's clear people want him out.

719
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: There's a difference in wanting something and getting something right.

720
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: A lot of people want to do something in you know,

721
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: the private sector. Actually accomplishing that, whether it's a hostile takeover,

722
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: buying someone out, forcing sale, whatever, it's easier said than done,

723
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: especially in a in an industry like this. Okay, Scott,

724
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: question for the pod whenever you have a minute, got

725
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: a minute right now? Now that the Bills have locked

726
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: up digs, what do you think they do in the

727
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: first round? Cornerback, running back? Also, any chance they trade

728
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: for McCaffrey, What do you think who do you think

729
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: they take? You know, I I don't think they take McCaffrey, though,

730
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: if they can get Caroline and eat some of that money,

731
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: it could be that's pretty risky. He's just been banged

732
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: up a lot. They need a big running back. But

733
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: to me, you take that guy in the later rounds,

734
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: like you can get that guy their third, fourth, fifth round.

735
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean the forty nine are starting running back Elijah

736
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: Mitchell they got in the sixth round. You you can

737
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: get Dalvin Cook was a second round pick. You don't

738
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: need to take the guy in the first round. I

739
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: don't think you ever go wrong with dB Obviously they

740
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: took a lot of d lineman last year. Never go

741
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: wrong with offensive lineman. I think they're in a position

742
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: where you just take the best player available. When you're

743
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: an elite team like them, you just take the best

744
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: player on your board. You don't necessarily force a need

745
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: that that that would be. That would be my thought,

746
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: because they do have a lot of options in the

747
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: sense of yeah, I mean they're they're really good. They

748
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: are right there. Uh, just listen to this weekend pod.

749
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm an Eagle fan, and the last two questions were

750
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: about the trade, and just wanted to also let you

751
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: know that they got a two thou second in return.

752
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: Also good nugget. I knew that. Maybe I didn't mention that.

753
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: On the side note, I recently built a house in Arizona,

754
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: in the area in North Phoenix called Desert Ridge. I

755
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: know how nuts the prices are getting, but hope you

756
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: make it out here sooner or later. I came here

757
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: from Portland, so I'm guessing a lot of the same

758
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: reasons you went out of California. Enough, said smart man,

759
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: Arizona is the ship. I'm from Fayetteville, North Carolina. Big fan,

760
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: love the pot I've listened for years. I'm a Cowboy

761
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: fan and was wondering what position you would draft in

762
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: the first round if you ran their front office. We

763
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: lost Collins and Connor Williams in free agency on the

764
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: offensive line, but we also lost Randy Gregory on the

765
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: defensive line. However, we also lost to Marie Cooper and

766
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson. I like Cedric Wilson. Yeah, I mean, I

767
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: think you can never go wrong with the offensive lineman. Now,

768
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: they made the playoffs where they got bounced in the

769
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: first round, so I think I would imagine was there

770
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: Pio somewhere in that range, Yeah, I would go lineman.

771
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: I think I always lean line. It's not the sexiest thing,

772
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: like taking a guard or taking a d tackle or

773
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: a pass rusher. Obviously, pass rushers can be sexy, but

774
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: sometimes they're not. Just depends on the level of fame

775
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: of the pass rusher. I just think you historically lean

776
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: line early You'll be okay, Terry. Do you think there

777
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: are similarities between Carson Wentz and Jake Cutler. Both seem

778
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: to lack key leadership characteristics that may contribute to their

779
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: teams underachieving, but both have the talent and leave coaches

780
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: constantly thinking they can be the one to fix them.

781
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: I find Cutler to be better of the two as

782
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: far as talent and success, but wanted to know your thoughts. Yeah,

783
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I would say one major difference is I

784
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: do feel like Jay a little more of a guy's guy.

785
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: Maybe that's not correct, but you know, Carson is very,

786
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: very religious. I think, you know, I know people that

787
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: have been around Ja that like Jay. He's a little different.

788
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: Carson has like this, I don't know, religious arrogance to him.

789
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: People just don't like him bought period point blank. Jay.

790
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: You know, I would put him in a similar category

791
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: but kind of different people. I would rather have Jay

792
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: Cutler than Carson Wentz for sure. Uh, Carson just can't

793
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: get along with people. I don't know quite what the

794
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: deal is started following the go low as well as

795
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: three and out. I like match play golf, but it's

796
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: too boring over eighteen holes. What would be your thoughts

797
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: on a nine hole match play event? You could have

798
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: three matches a day, get the event finished quickly, every

799
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: home would be every guy would be vital and would

800
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: encourage risk taking, keep kicking as taking names. Yeah, I

801
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,479
Speaker 1: don't mind it. You know, part of the match play

802
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: is it's pretty rapid fire, you know, because you're just

803
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: basically a guy playing another guy. So it's just you know,

804
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: guys are getting wiped out fast. I don't think they

805
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: would do it because a lot of guys are down

806
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: multiple you know, after nine holes two or three, you know,

807
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: basically two or three holes and come back to win.

808
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Kissner, who's in the final four. I think

809
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: it was down four holes with five to play or

810
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: three holes with four to play, so I I I

811
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: don't I don't think they need to do that. It's

812
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: also a one off event. You would definitely need to,

813
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, institute some stuff like that. If you had

814
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: match play once a month. It happens once a year,

815
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: So to me, it's not that big of deal. Uh.

816
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: From Thomas lifelong Cowboys fan born eighty seven and my

817
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: first memories of football are eight two and I think

818
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: he means Troy Aikman, Emmett Smith and a playmaker, Michael Irvin.

819
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: I would like to ask your input on what the

820
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: Boys can do to get over this twenty plus your

821
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: bump or hump, but your answer would make too much

822
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: fucking sense for the Jones family seems to only be

823
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: capable of making moves that make absolutely no sense. So

824
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: I just want to know what is your educated guests

825
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: as to what direction they go in the first round.

826
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: I think they need to get some old line help

827
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: as well as uh, as we all know, Tyrone. Uh,

828
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: Tyrone can't make it through a full season. We lost Collins.

829
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 1: M For show recommendations, if you haven't watched The Last

830
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: Kingdom on Netflix, It's one of the best shows I've

831
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: ever watched. Wow, it's high praise. Might need to check

832
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: that out. Yeah, we just talked about it. I I

833
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: would lean line uh, that they still have a very

834
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,919
Speaker 1: talented team. I mean, Dak, I was gonna say Zeke,

835
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: but I don't even know if you can say that anymore.

836
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: You're right, their offensive lines getting old. MRI He's gone.

837
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: I'm are even good for them. Cedric Wilson was good

838
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,479
Speaker 1: for them. There's a lot CD's gotta dominate now. CD

839
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: and jar Winna have to dominate defensively. They're gonna keep

840
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: needing those interceptions from from Stefan Digs brother. I've heard

841
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: you say numerous times on the pod that the Lakers

842
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: two championship does not count because of the Bubble, as

843
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: well as the Calves two thousand six team because Green

844
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: miss Game six. My question is, if those don't count,

845
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: they can what can we say no the Calves two

846
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: thousand and six I was there. Lebron's two thousand sixteen

847
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: championship counts. Guys get spending, guys get injured, whatever they got,

848
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: a break should happens the Raptors kind of break when

849
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant and Clay Thompson got her Their championship counts.

850
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: The Bubble championship does not count. That is only counted

851
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: in Laker Land. No other human counts that title that

852
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 1: was not basketball. Guys were setting records in the Bubble.

853
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: So Lebron's title in Cleveland one counts his one in

854
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: the Lakers is I think, as the Mobsters would say

855
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: it of Fugazi. So yeah, I mean, I don't I've

856
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 1: never said that the two thousand sixteen title doesn't count,

857
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: but the Bubble title does not count. And if you

858
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: wanted to say that the Dodgers title, they played sixty

859
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: games that year. Now it is what it is. But

860
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: at least in football they played a regular schedule and

861
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: they played full games. Now they weren't fans, But it

862
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: does feel like football, of the three major sports in

863
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty, was by far the most realistic. I

864
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: even said, like some of the majors. Colin Moore Cowa,

865
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: who is one of the best players in golf one

866
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: TPC Hardy Park the PGA Championship, there were no fans.

867
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: Does he win that basically as a rookie if they

868
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: were fans, maybe not. Does Bryson d Shambo win the

869
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: US Open with you know, if they're fans there, maybe

870
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: maybe not. So I I read flag two thousand twenty.

871
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: In all the sports that were dramatically different. Unfortunately. I'm

872
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: a lifelong Jags fan. What do you think of them

873
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: taking a wide receiver such as Burke's, Wilson or Watson

874
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: in the second round? Love it? I know they spent

875
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: money in free agency, but if you were in charge

876
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: with that pick, what are the options were available to

877
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: get a weapon next to Trevor Lawrence. Well, their team

878
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: is so shitty that there is nothing off the table

879
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: for them. Obviously, adding Christian Kirk Christie Kirk is you know,

880
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean, is he even a number two? Like? They

881
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: still need elite guys, They need elite offensive playmakers. So yeah,

882
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: I would. I don't know if any of those guys

883
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: like Berks is the kid from Arkansas, I don't think

884
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna be there. Wilson were Garrett Wilson will definitely

885
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: not be there. Uh yeah, to me, I I would

886
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: take a receiver high for sure. Do you see DK

887
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,479
Speaker 1: Metcalf getting traded before the draft. I'm a big Jets

888
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: fan and would love to see the Jets make a move. Well,

889
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, trading pick ten for DK Metcalf is pretty nuts.

890
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: You know he was draft in the second round. You

891
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: have to pay him twenty to twenty three million like this.

892
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: You know the man twenty they're going right for d

893
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: k now is like three. So it's you have to

894
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: trade pick ten. Just take Garrett Wilson, just take or

895
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: Chris Lave take whatever the Ohio State guy is still

896
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: on the board. That's what I would do, and get

897
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: a have a sweet receiver for like four million dollars

898
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: under contract, and and and then you still extend them,

899
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, ideally in a three or four years. That's

900
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: what I would do. I would use that pick on

901
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: one of those wide receivers. I would not trade for

902
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. If I was the Seattle I would extend

903
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. I would not trade him. Isn't the whole

904
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: point of being a general manager is finding guys like

905
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,479
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and then extending DK Metcalf and building around

906
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, Like Listen, he might be a little bit

907
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: of a diva, but he's a dominant player. Touchdowns three

908
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: years twenty nine, Which team in the a f C

909
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: West improved it's playoffs or bus for all four It's

910
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: highly unlikely they all get in. Which team do you

911
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: think has the most to lose by not getting in?

912
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: I think it was the Chargers based on last year's ending. Yeah,

913
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers or the I mean the Broncos

914
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: are gonna have a new owner, So, like I talked

915
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: about earlier on the podcast, there was gonna be a

916
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: ton of pressure on them. If I spent four billion

917
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: dollars on a business, that business better be successful pretty quickly.

918
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: So to me, you could argue they would be number

919
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: one at the end of the day. Dean Spanos, he's

920
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: been missing the playoffs for years, cash and checks and

921
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: being stingy, like what is really going to change for him?

922
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: Not much? So is there really that much. They're not

923
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: gonna firebrand Staley. They don't want to pay a guy

924
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: to go away. So I'd argue it's the Broncos because

925
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, they've won the division for six straight years.

926
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: If they were to have a season where they missed

927
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that would be bad because you never want

928
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: to miss the plaoffs. When we got Patrick Mahomes, but

929
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 1: I also don't even see that likely. It is Josh

930
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: McDaniels first year, but they did trade for Davante Adams.

931
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 1: There's pressure there for sure. I feel like it's most

932
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: on the Broncos. They just traded a boatload for Russell Wilson.

933
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: Greeting from Mexico City. What do you think the Packers

934
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: will do with their wide receiver corps? Also, how do

935
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: you recommend me get into the world of sports? I

936
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: currently study finance. How can I start following golf? Do

937
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: you recommend any page or something you know you doube

938
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: watch golf? Start start playing golf. The easiest way to

939
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: get into golf is to play, because if you play,

940
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: then you can understand when you're watching the pros how

941
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: hard it is. Uh, I don't know. I mean, O

942
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: the Packers have I get draft some guys. I mean

943
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: that's there. What are their options right now? Sign Julio

944
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 1: that they're in a little trouble. Uh. You know, if

945
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 1: you're in finance, I would try depends what you want

946
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: to do. Do you want to work in football? Do

947
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: you want to work you know, you gotta be a

948
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: little more specific. Go to LinkedIn. Start whatever industry or

949
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: team or thing you're interested in. Find people that works

950
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 1: for that entity on LinkedIn, Befriend them and then shoot

951
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: them messages. Try to find their emails. Shooting emails that

952
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 1: that would be like how I'd start from ground zero?

953
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: What is Tom Brady worked to the Glazers a hundred

954
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: million dollars a year? Without Tom, they go from headlining

955
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,919
Speaker 1: every NFL talk show to just a small market team

956
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: that no one cares about. My question this, the Glazers

957
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: have to be kicking cash back to Tom in some way, right,

958
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm thinking through TV twelve how much of it goes

959
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: on in the NFL. I've never owned an NFL team,

960
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: but I would imagine a lot because, like you said,

961
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is worth so much money to the Glazers.

962
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 1: He was worth so much money to the Crafts. We'll

963
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: think about the craft Did they employed TV twelve methods?

964
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: They employed Guerrero as a consultant, They rented out, you know,

965
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 1: Tom least a building from them across from Foxborough. I

966
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: think he paid for that building. Do you think they

967
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: could have siphoned money through him? That's what I would do.

968
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: Like ultimately, circumventing the cap is not illegal. That that's

969
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: a that's an NFL problem, not a legality. So if

970
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: you can't get caught, I would do it. That's the

971
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: way the business world works. Cash is king, you know.

972
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: I would imagine I've never heard this from anyone, so

973
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: I can't. It's like I have inside knowledge of these

974
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,280
Speaker 1: deals happening. But I would bet a lot of money

975
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: that they go on because of the amount of money

976
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: a guy like Tom Brady is worth to you as

977
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: an owner. It's it's unquantifiable, and it's not even just

978
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 1: being talked about its season ticket hold, its sales, it's

979
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: playoff games, it's the relevancy of your franchise. It's worth

980
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: a shipload. So I wouldn't blame them if if they

981
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: did something shady, because if I was in their situation,

982
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 1: I surely would. They didn't make the playoffs for a decade,

983
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: then they get Tom and they win the Super Bowl

984
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 1: and then host back to back playoff games. Pretty lucrative

985
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 1: individual for them for sure. UM, keep the d M

986

Speaker 1: s coming, Fire me some any questions you want, you know,
