1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: They around the NFL podcast can't wait? Were they off season?

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: Halfway there? From the Chris Westling podcast studio, It's around

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. I am Dan Hansis I got heroes here,

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler. All right, let's set the table here.

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl set great Chiefs Eagles. But we still have

6
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: like two weeks until the game. But we will fill

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: twelve times. We have a lot of shows too, a

8
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: lot of work, work, work, work, work, work, three shows

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: and before we get to the super Bowl, and then

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: three shows before the actual Super Bowl in Arizona, and

11
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: some hot guests coming up just a little. I have

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: full confidence we can talk our way through every single show. Anything.

13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: We will find a way. Coming up later, the great

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger will join us. Baldy, as he's known. Baldi

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: was probably more unhappy than anyone else that the um

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: extra week was added to the season, pushing the super

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: back ball back a week, which in essence pushes his

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: ability to go wild in the off season back a week.

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: So we'll talk to him about that. Is I mean

20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: that said. The one time we had him on during

21
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Week, like an hour earlier, he was Scoopa

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: diving in the waters off Miami. So he founds, he

23
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: seems to find a way. He does find a way,

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: and he's also there's nobody better when talking about the

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: game in the trenches than Baldi, a former offensive lineman

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: himself turn top right analyst. So we're gonna kind of

27
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: dig in a little bit on that element of Super

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Bowl fifties seven. Um, But before that, shall we hit

29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: the news some news fly go fly all a road

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: to the dory, fly go fly go. No, No, it

31
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: was those he goes fly fly fly Oh no, that's

32
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: from the podium the Risers after the NFC title game.

33
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: It is good to see something that Jalen Hurts can't do.

34
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: You know, he can't sing, so he's not perfect. No,

35
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: he's got a couple of weeks to work on that.

36
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that is a what a huge argument. The

37
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: end of that game celebration was UM and the one

38
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: in Arrowhead to not take the title games. I know

39
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: these some of these UM money UM hungry and individuals

40
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: up high want to like shift it to this neutral site.

41
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? Never ever do that? I

42
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: know they will, they probably will, but don't ever do it.

43
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Fans always say, being at home for a winning conference

44
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: championship game is better than the super Bowl, even better

45
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: than like, of course winning the super Bowl. That's the

46
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: whole idea. But just in terms of having a fun day,

47
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: you can't top that. But they needed to get my

48
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: Latta on the mike. He's got some pipes. You know,

49
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: you've heard the singing on the Mass singer, you've got

50
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: the Christmas I did not see that. My Latta and

51
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: the lineman. Um yeah, they needed to replace him. A. J.

52
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Brown was just standing up there, admitted afterwards he has

53
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: no idea. He didn't even know what the words were.

54
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: He never fair to know that you know every word

55
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: and very strange although he was butchering it tone wise,

56
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: Bradshaw taking the mic away for like the final line,

57
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: just let him finish. At that point, he's already drowning

58
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: out there. Um yeah, I don't know if that geez

59
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: that who's asking for the title games to get moved

60
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: from the you know, the number one. There are whispers

61
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: that will become sort of the next but like football

62
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: based on dot com, my former boss Mike Florio sources

63
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: idea within the league, So um doesn't that kind of

64
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: my former co workers over at three Park Avenue where

65
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I used to work. Are they still at that? Doesn't

66
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: it kind of a line with where everything else is

67
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: going with league events, where they like, I'm a company person,

68
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: Can this just be Can we just keep this the same?

69
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Can we keep anything the same? I think, Uh, I

70
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: think there will be extreme pushback if that is the case.

71
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: But that is uh pour singing notwithstanding. Yes, because winning

72
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: the conference title is, you know, obviously such a big,

73
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: big event for every fan base, and and that celebration

74
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure was a lot of fun. And Philly Colleen

75
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: Wolfe was there at Connie on the Power Rankings podcast

76
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: uh today, my co host on that show, and she

77
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: was at an apartment somewhere in Philadelphia, still breathing in

78
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: the beauty of the life of a Philadelphia She might

79
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: be breathing in something else, but I'm sure that happened earlier.

80
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: And perhaps perhaps let's get into the news. Oh my goodness,

81
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: we got massive NFL news here. This from rap sheet.

82
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is going to the Broncos. Hey. Now, New

83
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: Orleans and UH Denver just finalized a trade, uh settling

84
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: the compensation. Sources say New Orleans gets a first rounder

85
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: that would be the twenty ninth overall pick in the

86
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: upcoming draft, that is San Francisco's pick um and an

87
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: early pick in addition to that first rounder, likely, according

88
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: to Ian, a second round pick, so a twenty ninth

89
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: overall pick and then a second rounder. They will also

90
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: give a pick back um the Broncos will uh to

91
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: the Saints. It's a complex deal, as Dan as Ian reports,

92
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: but it is now done. Sean Payton is the new

93
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: head coach of the Denver Broncos, ending a kind of

94
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: a whirlwind affair for Peyton, who you know. This time

95
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: last year it felt like he was gonna do a

96
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: year of football mark in the as a commentator and

97
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: then had the world at his feet. And then it

98
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: didn't really seem like that was how it was gonna

99
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: end up playing out. It seemed like he maybe overplayed

100
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: his hand and didn't have the chance that he would

101
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: uh now have, which is be a head coach back

102
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: in the league, highly compensated obviously and running the show

103
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: in Denver. Yeah, I mean I could have imagined him

104
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: taking over the Charger's job. I think that would have

105
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: been the ideal landing spot for him. Dallas always hung

106
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: out there in the midst Denver, I did not think

107
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: where I kind of always thought that he was using

108
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos his leverage, but there was very little leverage.

109
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: And you walk into, I think, a very challenging situation.

110
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: There's kind of at glass half full, half empty, because

111
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: the half full is they were such a disaster last

112
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: year and so poorly organized under Nathaniel Hackett, and the

113
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: quarterback was such a failure that you almost can't do

114
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: worse on the offensive side the ball. And maybe if

115
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson a year into this and under Sean Payton

116
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: turns the corner and he's not the guy that he

117
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: was last drive suspicions around that, that's for sure. Then

118
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: suddenly Sean Payton like the genius everyone says he is.

119
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: But it's a complex job because I'm fully convinced that

120
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson will never be the old Russell Wilson, and

121
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: everything on that offense and everything they're built around, and

122
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: his deal and all that other stuff centers around Russell Wilson.

123
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: And I mean, I know there's ways you can get

124
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: me how did that contract? At some point? But can

125
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: Sean Payton overcome all that Greg as a Broncos fan.

126
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: You're not that you're a Bronis man, but you're thinking, though, man,

127
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: things could not have gone worse in year one with

128
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and you could point to a lot of

129
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: reasons why, but you can't avoid that Wilson played poorly

130
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: going into year two, which is an emergency situation in

131
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: terms of them figure out whether he's their guy. You've

132
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 1: gotta be at least feeling good that you have Sean

133
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Payton now in the building, and now you're gonna know

134
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: for sure there won't be any unsaid questions after this

135
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,559
Speaker 1: year about Wilson and his future in Denver. Right, Sean

136
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Payton is the man in Denver now, Russell Wilson is not.

137
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: If I had to guess extremely early, I would put

138
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's chances of being on this team in two

139
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: years that like less in fifty fifty. But I am

140
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: certain Sean Payton's gonna be there in a couple of years.

141
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: The way his contract Russell Wilson's uh is structured, I

142
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: don't think they'll try to get out of it right now,

143
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: although I personally think that wouldn't be that crazy posible.

144
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: They'll give it one year with Sean Payton, and you

145
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: gotta love it if you're a Broncos fans, because I've

146
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: had issues with how Sean Payton's manipulated the media and

147
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: he's friends with everyone, and there's different sources talking to

148
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: this guy, and it almost looked like, like you mentioned,

149
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to get a job in this cycle.

150
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean, don't forget the Broncos ownership was in Michigan

151
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: last weekend. By all accounts, beget and Jim Harbaugh trying

152
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: to get him to take that job. Dan Quinn pulled

153
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: out and was reported to be one of their top choices.

154
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it was two sides that didn't quite have a

155
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: perfect landing spot and they, you know, went back to

156
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: each other and Walmart's got long money and that's that's

157
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: who owned the Broncos right now. And one thing we

158
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: kept hearing from the Sean Payton sources was that he

159
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: wanted a lot of money and he wanted a lot

160
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: of power. So they have a GM there and George Peyton,

161
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: but Sean Payton's the guy who's running every aspect of

162
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: this organization and he was good at it in New Orleans,

163
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: and I get on him for the media stuff. But man,

164
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: he can manage an offense, and he can manage like

165
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: every aspect of the organization, from the front office to

166
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: the coaching staff to everything. He's gonna have to hire

167
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: coaches a little last minute here, but I mean, Broncos

168
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: fans have to be excited. It's Peyton and Payton. It

169
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: might just be Payton at some point. Yeah, and you

170
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: know we're gonna get Miko Ryan's in a second here,

171
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: But I want to mention that you know Ryan's the

172
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: reporting is out there that he kind of let Denver

173
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: know that wasn't where he wanted to be and they

174
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: wanted him in Houston, and dan Quinn, a guy that

175
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: really had put himself in a good position to get

176
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: a head coach job, he didn't want to go to Denver.

177
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: And it makes sense because you don't want to be

178
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: a head coach that goes to the Broncos after what

179
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: happened last year with the quarterback and end up getting

180
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: fired after a year because Russ Wilson doesn't get better

181
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: and you kind of get baby with the bathwatered right

182
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: out of Denver and you don't feel you get a

183
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: fair shot that is not gonna happen with the Sean

184
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: Payton for the reasons, Greg, you just said Sean Payton

185
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: was gonna go somewhere where he would be the the

186
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: Grand Puba, and that's what he is in Denver. And

187
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: no matter what happens with Russell Wilson, now Peyton will

188
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: get a long run to try to turn this organization around.

189
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a for everything that's gone

190
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: wrong for Denver Um. I think it's a slam dunk

191
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: higher for them, and it puts them back on the

192
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: road to you know, getting back in the right direction here.

193
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been dealing with one of the worst

194
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: sort of optics pr snaff foods of any team over

195
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: the last you know, since September. It resets all that

196
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: but it and now we're in that period where it's

197
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: gonna be very flowery speak about what Russell, what this

198
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: means for Russell Wilson. I don't buy it till I

199
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: see it, But I do think that if you, if

200
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: there's any coach out there that can find a way

201
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: to work around Russell Wilson's weaknesses and also probably have

202
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: another quarterback on the roster that he maybe likes better

203
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: that you serve Russell Wilson if things getting nasty in

204
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: this season. I don't think you have to go sixteen

205
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: seventeen games without Wilson. You don't, and I throw a

206
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: se does do that. Uh. I would like to see

207
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill just throw throw him in that trade. Yeah,

208
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna have Actually, players are not

209
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: allowed by rule to be part of coach trade, so

210
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: that could anybody's gonna find a way to work around.

211
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's bring in Taste and Hill another contract quickly.

212
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: From the Saints perspective, just to focus on these picks,

213
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: You're right, Denver is resetting it. It doesn't feel all better,

214
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: but it is worth noting they don't have their first

215
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: round pick, which would have been number five, because they

216
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: traded it for Russell Wilson. On top of other picks

217
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: that are coming in the future, Seattle has that pick.

218
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: They did have a pick late in the first round

219
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned pick because they traded away Bradley Chubb. So

220
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: they basically, you know, got Sean Payton as part of

221
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: almost that Bradley Chubb move. But like you do want

222
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: to have picks because Chubb didn't exactly like the world

223
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: umpire in Miami and and now you're gonna end up

224
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: getting I guess I. Yeah, you're right that they gave

225
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: him the flexibility to do something like this, but it

226
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: depends on the results. Because the Rams don't have first

227
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: round picks. They haven't used them at all. They want

228
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. The problem here's the quarterback went south.

229
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: Did you got a premier version of Russell Wilson then

230
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: added another first to get Sean Payton. No one's complaining

231
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: about that. I will believe, and I don't know how

232
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: it can be confirmed because people have different agendas that

233
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: that that Peyton would have gone back to the Saints

234
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: if they were willing to get rid of Dennis Allen.

235
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: They chose not to do that. And I think the

236
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: Saints will say, well, we just got a first round

237
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: pick and it sounds like maybe at two next year

238
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: for our coach. We did we did okay in this, Yeah,

239
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: but Dennis Ellinger coach, that is not okay. I would

240
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: have taken the Sean Payton route personally. More breaking news. Wow,

241
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: this really worked out timing wise for the old the

242
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: old Um. The Texans officially signed forty Niners defensive coordinator

243
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: Damiko Ryan's to a six year contract to become their

244
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: head coach. Now what does that mean? I don't know.

245
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: The money is guaranteed though for Damiko Ryan. So after

246
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: the Texans went one and done with each of their

247
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: last two head coaches, Levey Smith and David Culley, Damiko

248
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: Ryan's enters the picture. He had been kind of like

249
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: the the Buzzy Mark sexiest pick here for any team,

250
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: coming off a great season with San Francisco, and now

251
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: the Texans get their man. Do you like the higher?

252
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: I know for the it makes sense. The Texans feel

253
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: like they hit a home run here. If you're a

254
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: guy a fan of Damiko Ryan's, are you a little

255
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: nervous about what he's walking into in Houston. I think

256
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: it's a good situation. I think like Sean Payton, for

257
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: whether we want to believe anything he says or not,

258
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: described it as a good situation. I think it is

259
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: because it's been an absolute disaster. The organization is in

260
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: wreckage mode. From a pr angle, Damiko Ryan's comes in

261
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: as someone that is from the Texans. They can kind

262
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: of reset the board a little bit and say all

263
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: this stuff that just happened, we can forget about it.

264
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: Now you're months away from selecting the best possible quarterback

265
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: at number two, which starts things over again and helps

266
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: you forget about Deshaun Watson helps you forget about a

267
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: lot of things, whether they should be given that luxury

268
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: or not. I like to hire because I think number one.

269
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: He seems to be an excellent coach who obviously got

270
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: the most out of his players in San Francisco post

271
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: Robert Salo, which was a challenge, certainly connects with them,

272
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: and he's I think like they they there's a reason

273
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: to believe that the connection with Houston, I think is

274
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: good for them. That said, cal McNair is now paying

275
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: like three different coaching staffs an absolute ton of money

276
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: before I think he probably still playing Bill O'Brien even

277
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: you're probably right that that starts. I mean, I'm not

278
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: worried about him. He's a multi billionaire, but it's just

279
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: like they can you trust them to hang with Ryan's

280
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: that things get I think they I think they know

281
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: they have to. Now. Nick Serio, their general manager, who's

282
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: been at the front of these hires, is now on

283
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: his third head coach. He would be the next fall guy.

284
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: I guess if things don't go well. It's interesting Ryan's

285
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: and Cassaro kind of from different branches of the NFL universe.

286
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: Cassirio coming from the Belichick tree. Uh, Ryan's who was

287
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: with the Texans as a player and then the Eagles

288
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: and and now under Shanahan. So I would assume there's

289
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: an agreement there that those two guys will work together.

290
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: And Ryan's was the defensive rookie of the year there.

291
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: We're getting old because I remember, you know, I was

292
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: doing Rhodo World that season two thousand and six, and

293
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: now he's was in the league ten years and now

294
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: he's a head coach. He knows the McNair's like he

295
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: knows them personally. He was as well respected as as

296
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: anyone in that franchise for the time he was there.

297
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: So I think that's what makes uh it a great

298
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: move for him for the Texans and made it make

299
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: sense more than if he didn't have a history there,

300
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: but that that's a team that drafted him. I'm mean,

301
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: that's the team he grew up playing, you know with

302
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: with J. J. Watt, And we've heard that his wife

303
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of people love Houston, by the way,

304
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: like players love Houston, coaches like it sounds like his

305
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: family like going back to Houston. I'm just saying, if

306
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: you took a poll of the players in the league,

307
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: maybe the coaches to former players, what city in the

308
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: United States that has an NFL team would I most

309
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: want to live in. I think Houston finished his top five,

310
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: so I'm saying that's a factor too. I think get

311
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: in there. Bye bye Broncos. Okay. I don't know if

312
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: this turned into a referendum of whether Houston is a

313
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: great American city. It is, it's what. It's one of

314
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:47,119
Speaker 1: the jewels of Texas, Greggy, but the organization where where

315
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: that's representing Houston has not been one that anyone would

316
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: refer to as a great stable place for a head

317
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: coach to go. Times are maybe different. They have draft picks.

318
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: It's a new horizon here. Um. I would think I

319
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: would guess the way the NFL typically works with head coaches,

320
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: they're not gonna they wouldn't dare. I don't think go

321
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: one and done unless something really crazy happened here. He'll

322
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: probably be on the more typical model for something that

323
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: inherits a mess, which is you get like three years

324
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: you get, you get, and you gotta get a team

325
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: to the playoffs by that third year or they probably

326
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: are going to take a look, real long, hard look.

327
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: So that's exactly where Houston needs to start. They need

328
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: to start with some stability, start with a head coach

329
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: and a d c uh previously that has a lot

330
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: of respect. The players are going to be buying in um.

331
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: This is just like with the Broncos. I think it's

332
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: kind of a best case scenario in terms of getting

333
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: things organized and kind of resetting what your organization is about.

334
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: I thought they they hit on a couple of young

335
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: players this year too, so Jalen Patrian. We'll see about

336
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: Derek Stingley, who was taken ahead of Sauce Gardner, which

337
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: that's something that Texans fans will be uh mindful of

338
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: in the coming years. But he was injured. I think

339
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: he played okay. So there's there's some young talent there,

340
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: but not a lot on defense. So it's gonna be

341
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: a culture shock for Ryan's who has had this loaded defense.

342
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: They have Capram, they have a ton of picks. Man

343
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: that is, whoever ends up as the d C of

344
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: the Niners that is becoming now a factory um for

345
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: producing head coaches Sala and now Ryan's and yes, so

346
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: there's uncertainty at d C for San Francisco, also at

347
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: QB after the news of Brock Party and one of

348
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: the saddest things I really remember seeing on the field

349
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: in terms of just from a competition and and from

350
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: a storyline standpoint, Party went from waking up that morning

351
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: is maybe being the biggest story in the sporting world

352
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: if you could win another game, to getting hit on

353
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: the elbow in the sixth play of the series. Turns

354
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: out it's a complete tear of his ucl UH in

355
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: his elbow and then going back into that game after

356
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: Johnson goes down with the head injury and and just

357
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: handing the ball off when you when you were supposed

358
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 1: to be fighting for the Super Bowl. Such a bummer.

359
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, the reporting is that Party has a complete

360
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: terror of the ulner collateral ligament um. He will, reportedly,

361
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: according to Tom Pella Sero, seek a second opinion on

362
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: the injury, but pell Sarah reports the hope is he

363
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: will undergo a repair rather than a total reconstruction the

364
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: famous or the infamous Tommy john surgery. They're hoping six

365
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: months they're hoping. Pretty spoke Tuesday morning and said nothing

366
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: was decided for sure yet, So I think that's the hope,

367
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: but it's not certain. Nick Mullins is the quarterback that

368
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: comes to mind that I've read about that that had

369
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: this injury most recently in the NFL, the same fortins

370
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: Um you know, back up at the time uack another

371
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: injury and yeah, he I think he was out six months,

372
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: and again that was the hope, but it sounds like

373
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: Pretty is not totally sure that that hill avoid a reconstruction.

374
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's he'd still be in theory available for

375
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: camp no matter what goes on here, and it just

376
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: clouds what is a maybe here. They always say that

377
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: a time of year and like, we'll see, but I

378
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: mean we heard that about camp. Training. Camp is this

379
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: massive date that hangs out there, but then all sorts

380
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: of players show up late to camp and they're totally

381
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: like that. We just have to stop over valuing some

382
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: of these timelines, because in general, if they really wanted

383
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: him to be their Week one quarterback over treye Lance,

384
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: like it's going to be a competition either way. This

385
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: this adds some haze to it. But he knows the offense,

386
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: he knows Shanahany, knows all the players on the team,

387
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: and he'd be ready by week one, Like I I

388
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: de emphasized, like the chaos surrounding Brock Party's timeline. Yeah,

389
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: and I'm just a little bit I'm looking for clarity

390
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: because as a baseball fan, if a pitcher gets Tommy

391
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: John surgery, which party is hoping to avoid that which

392
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: is a ligament replacement surgery? A starters usually out eighteen months,

393
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: reliever will maybe miss a year. Uh so maybe it's

394
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: obviously football is a completely different sports. Good think he's

395
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: not on the Yankees know, well, yeah, we dodged a

396
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: bullet there with brock Purty, um, but was completely different

397
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: than basketball. If if brock Purty miss of six months, okay,

398
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: maybe he is good to go. But does this open

399
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 1: the door for Tom Brady? Is an option for San

400
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: Francisco Trey Lance? Who knows what the Trey Lance situation

401
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: is at this point. Jimmy g I think is finally

402
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: out the door. And now Party is a big question mark.

403
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: And by the way, Party wasn't a tools he player

404
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: to start with, and now elbow and injury, you wonder

405
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: how that affects his ability to drive the ball down field,

406
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: especially year one out of the surgery like this, I'm

407
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: not sure I can stomach Tom the Tom Brady to

408
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: the Niners scenario. I mean you like you love the

409
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: Niners too much for that. No, I just think that

410
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: I think you have to. Would you stomach for Tom Brady? Where?

411
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: Where would I mind you going? I had stomach almost

412
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: like the night the Niners thing to me is not

413
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: ruin the purity of the nut your Niners love. I

414
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: just think that you've got like you don't. Trey Lance

415
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: has had one of the most like miss Like if

416
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: you look at like what happened to Carson Wentz in Philadelphia,

417
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: everyone's making it's so bad that Nick Foles took over.

418
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: If your Carson Wentz like, you had your legacy stolen

419
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: away during an m v P season, like Trey Lance

420
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: has been through this season after season. So if the third,

421
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: if his third year begins with we've taken Tom Brady like,

422
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: then get Trey Lance out of there and let him

423
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: play somewhere else. I think if Brady went, Trey Lance

424
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: would be gone. I assumed going into the conference championship

425
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: game it'd be pretty and Lance, and Lance would probably

426
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: have a better chance to play than most people give

427
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: him credit more and that would just see and that

428
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: like not that's sort of a good problem. We have

429
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: two young quarterbacks. We like them both for different reasons.

430
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: We got him. Now that Purdy is hurt, I feel

431
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: like the Brady chance is higher for sure. Yeah, and

432
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: whenever party, you know, does resurface and at what level

433
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: he's playing, there is this concern like what if that

434
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: was the Brock party story. I hope it's not. I

435
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: hope he has a lot more in front of him,

436
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: but it's obviously disappointing for the kid. Yes, I just

437
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: sort of acknowledge quickly that Mark jumped on the Niners

438
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: bandwagon and immediately disaster struck like the curse of Honestly, Like,

439
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm I like, I largely just ignored Twitter entirely at

440
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: this point, but when I do, all gone, I see

441
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: these tweets. I have been pro Shanahan and pro Niners

442
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: for years. Yeah, the cults or the that your team's

443
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: situation like the Titans. Yeah, I apologize, but like, how

444
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: is anyone in your Titans fandom head this much? It's

445
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: like no one controls what happened. They created their own

446
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: misfortune in total darkness. I did not your retort, I

447
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: have nothing, all right, it's like your team didn't even glad.

448
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 1: He apologized that at least that he acknowledges some amount

449
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: of responsibility there. I don't acknowledge any responsibility at all.

450
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: It's just like I want to just move on with it,

451
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: just out of curiosity. Unrelated to this conversation, who are

452
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,239
Speaker 1: you picking for the super Bowl? Well, they asked me

453
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: today to want to make my pick, and uh, I

454
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: mean I don't think I at this point would not

455
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: say today. I don't want to know what you want

456
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: to save it for the previous show picked one of

457
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: these teams to make the super Bowl, And um, if like,

458
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: if you want to go back research that, that's where

459
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm leaning, not you, per se, but like someone else

460
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: that they've seen if they have a lot of time,

461
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm leaning there. But I'm not sure, not entirely sure yet.

462
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a black Cat ladder, the black

463
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: cats going underneath the ladder, A mirror falls off, the

464
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: wall shatters whoever is connected. Maybe not the best news,

465
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: but we move on. But first, let's take a quick

466
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: break without further ado, here is the top five cities

467
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: that players want to play in. This is correct, No gonna.

468
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna decide if this is true. Okay, um, here

469
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: we go. Number five Houston, So you did crack the

470
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: top five, just barely. Number four Vegas. And by the way,

471
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: a big part of this no income tax. Those are

472
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: two states right off the bat. No income tax. Three

473
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. It's a it's a great place to live

474
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: for a pro athlete. Maybe taxes too high. Keep an

475
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: eye in that. Build your other brands. Number two Atlanta.

476
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: Players want to be in Atlanta. And number one another

477
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: income tax free haven and also a great place to live. Colleen, Colleen, Miami.

478
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: Where it is Miami. I thought you were going to

479
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: sneak in New York there at the Houston, Vegas, Atlanta, Miami.

480
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: Nashville has got to be above Houston. This is where

481
00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: with the players factors. Number seven, I I think you

482
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: did a good job there. I think I don't Houston.

483
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: Houston needs to be top four, and then I wouldn't

484
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: argue you could chake up those four anyway. L A Miami, Houston, Atlanta.

485
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Vegas. I think Vegas is a little

486
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: bit of a niche pick there. I don't think again,

487
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: this is one of your weirdest like stand on the

488
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: hill and just take it no matter what, Houston. But

489
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: other than I'm saying top four, I just what a

490
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: topne you're like. I don't agree with one of your

491
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: top five, but I won't replace its top four. I

492
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: would say Houston to me might be number one or two. Uh,

493
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: but I don't have a problem with any of the

494
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: top five in Vegas. I just was saying Vegas can't

495
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: be in the top four Vegas. Maybe New York get

496
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: sneaks in over. I'm saying, why are we still discussing this?

497
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: Maybe New York? I don't know. I think you did

498
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: a great job. Thank you, Vic. F gggio guess what

499
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: he is back in business. The Dolphins will hire the

500
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: x Broncos coach as defensive coordinator, or will they? Fagio

501
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: himself says, who wa woa, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

502
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: Stop the clocks. That's not necessarily what's gonna happen here,

503
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: because there's another team that could be interested in Fongio.

504
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport was on who had the NFL never had

505
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: The original reporting on this was on Pat McVie today,

506
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: I believe, and said, although the Niners are in the

507
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: mix with the ties to Kyle Shanahan, ultimately this this

508
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: He thinks this will end with Fongio go into Miami,

509
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: but as of right now it remains open. There's the

510
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: update on Fogio. I mean Tom Pellicero, the pell Raiser,

511
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: previously announced that the deal with Miami would be on

512
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: pill Raiser. On that episode the highest would make in

513
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: the highest paid defensive coordinator, So I mean, I think

514
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: money might ultimately just do this. Who would be the

515
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: highest paid funds you to go to Miami. He loves

516
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan though the Niners, you know, their DC is

517
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: out the door, So I think that's where this all shifted. Yeah,

518
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: they don't have a natural replacement on the roster. They've

519
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: done a great job, you know, developing coaches, but they've

520
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: lost so many now in a in a short span.

521
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: Like Fon it seems so older, it seems old. But

522
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: he's like much younger than Bill Belichick. And and Carol,

523
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: does you think of him as this cranky old guy?

524
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: But cranky, yeah, I think of that. He's old school

525
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: if you're if you're how many vics are out there

526
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: actively now? I mean they were previously they were victors.

527
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: How many victors are out there even fewer? Where is

528
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: Vic Beasley? Is he still in the NFL? I don't know?

529
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: Um and other news. Kellen Moore out you know this

530
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: is this is not you know in fantasy sports when

531
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: you drop a guy from your roster and you kind

532
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: of wrestle with it, a bit of a crunch or

533
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: I don't really want to do this, but I think

534
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: I should do this in my mind it makes it's

535
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: in the best interests of my team. And then right

536
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: away somebody else picks up that player and you're like, A,

537
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have done that. Kellen Moore fired by the Cowboys.

538
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: He's the fall guy after Dallas falls short again. I

539
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: guess you can't fire Dak Prescott, so you gotta fire somebody,

540
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: so get rid of the OC. It's his fault. Uh.

541
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: Their season once again ended short of the NFC title game,

542
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: And almost immediately you blink and Kellen Moore is hired

543
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: by the Los Angeles Chargers. And the one other kind

544
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: of note to the story, mark not only is more

545
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: out of Dallas and immediately in l A upgrading that

546
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: situation for the Chargers. It is Zaddi himself, Mike McCarthy

547
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: who is taking oh r uh play calling duties for

548
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Q the laughter and the snickering from the

549
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: God listen. I don't think we need to laugh at

550
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy um calling plays, but I do think a

551
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: layers removed from there, it is laughing. I mean, you

552
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: you have fewer and fewer guys to blame. Dan Quinn's

553
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 1: defense wasn't wasn't dan Quinns sticking around by the way,

554
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: because I think dan Quinn's thinking, if things go south here,

555
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: I've been nothing but Dan I'll be dan Quinn the

556
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: head coach by November because the next fall guys Mike McCarthy.

557
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: I think the fact that more was hired immediately to

558
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: go pair with Justin Herbert, which I like, uh, tells

559
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: me all I need to know this is this doesn't

560
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense to me. I know

561
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: their offense was a little up and down this season,

562
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: but they were top five over the past four years

563
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: under More in e. P A. I mean, they've been

564
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: a highly productive offense. Have we pointed to it. I

565
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: think it's two seasons in a row where you were

566
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: undone by the nine or and it's been a bad

567
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: look at bad eggs at two times. Who was asking

568
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: for Kellen Moore to be fired ten days ago after

569
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: they thrashed the Buccaneers and Dak Prescott looked like the

570
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: best quarterback around nobody. It's just totally reactive and I

571
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: I just there were whispers. Albert Brierre told Dan Patrick

572
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: that More and McCarthy were not necessarily getting along very

573
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: well at the end, and so maybe it just the

574
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: relationship broke down, right. They probably have different philosophies. More

575
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: was there a long time. I mean More was Dak's

576
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: former teammates, so you could almost understand a little bit

577
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: of a power struggle there that like More is getting

578
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: what his offense wants to be done. I as a

579
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: justin Herbert, you know, fan, I didn't know how to

580
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: feel about this because people are all over the place

581
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: with More. I mean they did really struggle down the

582
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: stretch last year, and they do a lot of stuff,

583
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: But did they have an identity? But some people think

584
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: that's McCarthy and More clashing that it wasn't one guy's system,

585
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: so maybe better to have a divorce. McCarthy made this

586
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: move quite a few times in Green Bay. It was

587
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: like he would call plays and then he would back off,

588
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: and he would call plays and he would back off

589
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: to Penny on what was happening. So I think it's

590
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: McCarthy thinking, if I'm going to go down, I'm gonna

591
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: do it my way. The Zaddi move. There you go,

592
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: classic Zaddy move. And finally in the news, Ddy doesn't

593
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: have a job. Wait, I do have and Mark was

594
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: talking over market has become utterly Zaddy on any level.

595
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: The news, the NFL salary cap will continue to climb.

596
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: Rap sheet and the pell Raiser this week on pill

597
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: that's his nickname, that's nickname. Don't even really talk to Tom.

598
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. Yeah, he doesn't seem

599
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: to know. We've heard nothing. Have you how many conversations

600
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: you've had with Pell raisers? I believe one great, I

601
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: mean a handful, not not many. I used to know

602
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: Tom a little bit when he was at USA today

603
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: that pft, you're very close with him now, but spoke

604
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: with him. The pell Raiser reported with me in that

605
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: the league informed teams Monday that the salary cap in

606
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: three will be a record to point eight million per club.

607
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: That's a sixteen point six million leap for each club

608
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: from the two point two million cap. Pit of this

609
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: connects to new media deals, the addition of seventeenth game,

610
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: and other increased profits, and it's continued to go up

611
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: that way and continue an upward climb. I'm wondering, um if, like,

612
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: for instance, Greg real quick here, like, what is the

613
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: percentage of teams that didn't meet the salary cap and

614
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: spent under the salary cap? In like that's set well,

615
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: sat well under it, Like he could have made moves

616
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: but chose to maybe leave a little bit of a

617
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: good percentage of the league. Yeah, I didn't get that

618
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: close to it, more than ten teams. I would say.

619
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: My question is, as the salary cap continues to escalate,

620
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: are we going to start to see something akin to

621
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: MLB where certain owners are going to start making business

622
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: decisions uh that and they stay far away from the cap,

623
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: which is high enough now where you could feel halfway

624
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: competitive team and and pockets some money while you're at it.

625
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: I worry about that as a one, and I know

626
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: the union is going to fight to make sure that

627
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: doesn't happen that but they ultimately the owners are the

628
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: ones sign in the checks. I wonder at what point

629
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: you start to see that becoming there is a floor

630
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: you have to spend. I forget what the rule of it.

631
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: It's like cash spending of it over a three year

632
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: period in aggregate, So there have been teams that have

633
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: had to like spend at the last second to make

634
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: sure that you get over that floor. But it's something

635
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: like the caps, so you can't. You wonder we're going

636
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: to see more and more money because there's so much

637
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 1: cap space now, it's gotten up so much. It's sixteen

638
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: million this year raising it's like thirty over the last

639
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: three that and there's no good players. It's harder to

640
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: find good players in free agency to spend it on

641
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: and in the draft than it is to spend that money,

642
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 1: So it does open it up for that trade Tsunami.

643
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: I think that is where it's getting a little more

644
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: NBA like because there's so much cap space and makes

645
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: good it's the only way you can get good new players.

646
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: That's rate for like the off season. I mean that

647
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: creates massive storylines and probabilities and possibilities. I do have

648
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: an update though, for you on the top five cities

649
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: that players want to live in. Well, it's not going

650
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: to change. Is out as number five. I overlooked one

651
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: town that we just talked about, which is officially entered

652
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: the list at number five. Justin here we go, Stephen,

653
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: this doesn't sound as good. It's Dallas. Dallas is the fifth.

654
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: Dallas fifth day is better than where are you from?

655
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm from Dallas. I think I think the players prefer Houston.

656
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 1: We're greg sorry, but like you, you suddenly are acting

657
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: as this inside that's spoken to would need to be

658
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: a majority of NFL players. Steven have an opinion on

659
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: I just have a good feel the last time, the

660
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: last time you spoke to an NFL player though, m D.

661
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean someone's not living in Los Angeles for a

662
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: job here. I just have a good feel of the league,

663
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: you know. Okay, let's take a break, utter far, welcome back.

664
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: Our guest is a long time favorite of a t

665
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: N but let's be honest, it's he's kind of everybody's favorite.

666
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: And that's and that's a credit to the man, the myth,

667
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: the legend. Uh. And also we're very lucky to have

668
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: him because he's always in hot demand. He is Brian Baldinger,

669
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: also known as Baldy. It's up body, Well, hello guys,

670
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: how are you. How's everything going? We're good? Can you

671
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: settle something here? Well, i'd like to look today, Baldi.

672
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: You look straight out of like an eighties action movie. Yeah, well,

673
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: I mean I did the NFL now and it was

674
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: just time to put the stuff away now right Like um,

675
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: Baldi is like an action figure who has like seven

676
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: or eight kind of scenarios like that. I'm thinking like

677
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 1: Predator with Schwarzenegger, you being like one of his dudes,

678
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: with like Jesse the body of wentor I get the vibe.

679
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, hyper hyper masculine. Um. We were just talking

680
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, Baldy, and you are a long

681
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: time NFL player. I think you played how many years?

682
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: A dozen years? Yeah, and sounds like you know the

683
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: lifetime to go, so you know, I might I understand,

684
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: but you're you're plugged in as hell, Baldy. And we're

685
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: just curious, like, what are the top like five NFL

686
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: c U cities that players want to play and live in?

687
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: And I threw out a list that included Houston, and

688
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: I factored in things like in state income tax and

689
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: the culture of the city and all that. Houston, Vegas,

690
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: l A, Atlanta, Miami as my top five and descending order.

691
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: How does that list look to you? And what I miss?

692
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: And what are you thinking? Where are you? I'm just

693
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 1: looking out at Fort Lauderville Beach right now. I'm saying,

694
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: how how could it get any better than this? I

695
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: think that's number one. I mean, I literally could probably

696
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: throw a baseball to Nick Bos's house from here, you know,

697
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: you right down the road. You can go to Fort

698
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: Lauderdale Port Um any day in the week in the

699
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: off season. You're gonna see players. They're all coming here,

700
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: and there is no state income tax. And um, the

701
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: sunshine is about as bright as it gets right now.

702
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: So if you want to training part. But I also

703
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: have a philosophy. I don't know if I should share

704
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: it with you guys or not. Please please do it.

705
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: You've already decided, all right, Like Mike McDaniel doesn't want

706
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,919
Speaker 1: to hear this, But I don't think the Dolphins will

707
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: ever win a championship ever, because life is just too

708
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: good in South Florida. Remember, well, one night. I was

709
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: at the hard Rock Casino. Right it's late, We're playing blackjack,

710
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: and there's two prominent starters on the Miami Dolphins on

711
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: a Monday night at four am with the drink in

712
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: her hands. And I'm like, look, I don't blame I've

713
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: been doing the same thing as player. But I don't

714
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: know if that's what Andy Reid wants when he gets

715
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: his team trying to get his team ready, you know,

716
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday, because well, let's face it, there's

717
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: no place open at four to morning in Kansas City.

718
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: So no. I mean, like, I just think the temptations

719
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: in the lifestyle, it's too good to actually think about

720
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: winning championships here. And you started your career with the Cowboys.

721
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: Greg same, I put Dallas in the top five. I

722
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: like dance stuff five. I just replaced Vegas with Dallas

723
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 1: and then it was good. But here was the argument,

724
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: Like Greg made a huge case for Houston being not

725
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: only top five but number one. I said, top three,

726
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: top three, Miami I think would be one. I think

727
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: Miami is Houston top three, Like, like I still have

728
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: a form in Texas. You can't put Houston in the

729
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: top five and I'm not down you like, you know,

730
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: like whoever planned houston't like they had a g D

731
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: the whole time. You know, there's three different it's changed thought. Wait, Greg,

732
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm connecting more with the younger generation. And it's

733
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: a it's a different city. A lot of night clubs

734
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: James Harden types of clubs that he liked hasn't talked

735
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: to an NFL player since. If he even did that, well,

736
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, h might have a different opinion about and

737
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: somebody that doesn't come from that city, which is fine.

738
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: I know this. It's still the number one recruited city

739
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: in America for high school football. So if you want

740
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: to find your talent for major colleges, just go to Houston.

741
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: They're in every single corner in crevice, you know, from

742
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: Katie all the way out to where you know Jalen

743
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: played for his dad, so and everywhere in between. Yeah,

744
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of guys want to go

745
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: back home when their uh college days are through. And anyway,

746
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: that's why I made by top five. But we're not

747
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: at Greg's level in terms of breaking these things. Um Baldi,

748
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit, like let's dive in the

749
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: trenches here. I know this has to be a matchup

750
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: you love. Um, I want to start with the Eagles.

751
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: Let's start here just because you know, we think about

752
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: what are the what are the best defenses of this century?

753
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: And of course you start with the Ravens. In two

754
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: thousand you talked about the Legion of Doom Boom. Excuse me,

755
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: um that that obviously that big Seattle defense, that one

756
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: a title nearly one another does Philadelphia? Is there a

757
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: chance they cracked this conversation or at least can be

758
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: seen in that group if they dominate Kansas City with

759
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: what they've been able to do, especially up front. Yeah, yeah,

760
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean in one offensive football. Uh, you know, they

761
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: got some legendary coaches on the other side and read

762
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: Eric the enemy. Uh, you know, you can gain play

763
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: with the best album. They got the best quarterback in

764
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: the league. Um. You know, if they get to Patrick

765
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes and they just you know, chased him around the

766
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: yard the way Tampon did a few years ago, and

767
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: they end up with shape five more sacks, which might

768
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: be possible. Um, you know, you're in the eight easy

769
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: four sacks in the season, and then if you add

770
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: the interceptions and you know what they're doing in the

771
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: postseason right now that Daniel Jones and to what they

772
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: did to San Francisco. I mean, I think you'd be

773
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: foolish not to start talking about this is one of

774
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: the all time great defenses. And look, I played in

775
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: Philly with Reggie White and Clyde Simmons and Set Joint

776
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: and I know what, you know, great defense looks like

777
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: when Buddy Ryan was coaching those teams, And this looks

778
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: a lot like what Philadelphia put on the field, um

779
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: a lot of weekends back then. Where do you think

780
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: the matchup is where they can get pressure? Because the

781
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs are so good in the interior, Maybe you tell me, like,

782
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: is that the best center in guard combination in the

783
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: league between Creed Humphrey and Tray Smith and Tuney They're good.

784
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: They're good, Greg, I think you know the look. I'm

785
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: a big fan of Zeus. Like I'll say this about

786
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: a Landaground junior, Like he's so big that it's like,

787
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's like trying to run around the sun

788
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback, you know, I mean, you

789
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 1: can't really run through them, but you can you can't

790
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: get pressure off the edge from the land like he's

791
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: he's not the best athlete out there playing in that position.

792
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: I think you do it against Wiley. I think off

793
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: the edges, you can definitely get pressure on pass mahomes down.

794
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: You know. The great thing about great but the thing

795
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: about great quarterbacks is they know how to escape edge pressure.

796
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 1: They just do. They feel like they got a GPS

797
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: system in their head, but they can't. They have a

798
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: hard time if Javon hard Grave or Fletcher Cox or

799
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: something like that is coming right up the middle at you.

800
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: And that's where I think this defense defense gets really

801
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: good because you know the guys I'm talking about inside

802
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll play Brandon Graham in there. They lined

803
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: up Hassan Reddick in there a little bit last Sunday. Um.

804
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 1: Their ability to get pressure up the middle is probably

805
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: the best in the league right now. I mean, so

806
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend the next two weeks. Andy Reid obviously

807
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: offensive wizard. Whatever Philly throws at him, we can know

808
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna come in with a bag of tricks. Uh.

809
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: Andy Reid deserves to be coronated at this point that

810
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: they win this game for what he is. But it's

811
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: almost like Nick Sirianni's The biggest headline he ever generated

812
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: was his opening press conference, which I think is a

813
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: kind of a tell on everyone at this point where

814
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: it's like, we're gonna destroy the guy before he does

815
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: and everything. We don't know who he is. Um, but

816
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: I still feel like we don't really know that much

817
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: about Nick Sirianni. I know you're close to the team.

818
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: What have you observed that makes him effective with the players,

819
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: that makes them special, that makes him a factor in

820
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl as a head coach. Well, I mean,

821
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: if you looked at the coach on the other side

822
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: last Sunday, I'm seeing Kyle Shanahan smile all year, like

823
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, and so like there's you know, a nutshout,

824
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: a knock on Kyle. Maybe he was stressing that job

825
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: that you know, we don't see. I mean, he's a

826
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: great job. But Nick Sirianni's that guy's having a ball.

827
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 1: He's got his kids up in the phodium after the thing.

828
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: Like his ability just to just watch him in practice,

829
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: just mingle with the players, shoot to breathe with him,

830
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: whether it's certing the stretch line in the in the

831
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: weight room. Um, after practice, you name. The guy just

832
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: knows how to like really build one on one relationships. Uh,

833
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: he's special like that, and he's having a ball now.

834
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: It helps that they won sixteen games, you know that.

835
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like the Eagles two years ago

836
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: there four eleven and one and it was just misery

837
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. But you know, the guys having a good time.

838
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: And I like that about there because I used to

839
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: saying this all the time with coaches. They walk around

840
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: with their butt like this type all week long, and

841
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: then their pre game speeches, let's go and have some fun.

842
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: Well I don't think it works that way. Like mirror

843
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: what you want your players to do. And so he

844
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 1: basically empowers his team to to pay this is your team,

845
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 1: I'm empowering you. But look, these are the fundamentals the game.

846
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna harp on the fundamentals every single day so

847
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: that they're sharpened tools when you get to Sunday. So

848
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: we're not gonna let anything slide, but we're gonna have

849
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: some fun along the way doing it. And I feel

850
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: like that's kind of how this team is built, is

851
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: like they're having a good time, working really hard. They

852
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: got great team chemistry, he helps build that chemistry. They're

853
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: getting all their work done. They're prepared, like the nuance

854
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: of the game, you know that, um, all of the

855
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: stuff that you gotta know in the moment, Like they're ready,

856
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: fourth down in one, you name it. They gotta play ready.

857
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: But you know it looks like they're having a good

858
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: time along the way. Yeah, and you and I'm sure

859
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: you played under you know, all types of coaches in

860
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: terms of how they were um designated or how they

861
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: were described. That is a kind of a needle to

862
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: thread though, right when it comes to the guy that's

863
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: the the good, good guy, smiling coach, it's having a

864
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: fun time without getting walked over ultimately when things go sideways.

865
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 1: So what he's been able to pull off here that

866
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: that's not so easy, is it? Well it isn't. But

867
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: that's why you need a good staff. I mean, nobody's

868
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: walking over Jeff Stout. You know, like when it was

869
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 1: when it was COVID and you know everybody was doing

870
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: these meetings on zoom. I was just like in Lane

871
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: Johnson's house listening to Stout, and I see the terror

872
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: on these players faces like after games and like they

873
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: would be like having a competition, like who's gonna get

874
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: shoot out the most because it's coming, you know, for

875
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: missing that assignment on third down or missing the protection

876
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: or whatever. Like nobody walks over stout. And you know,

877
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: even a guy like Lane Johnson has been in the

878
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: league ten years, like the ultimate respect right there, you know,

879
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: with Kelsey and Lane and how to do things and

880
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: so Malada how to learn it? You know and say, Amala,

881
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: how to learn it? And Dickerson is finding it out,

882
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: you know, And so I think it's important. Like if

883
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about, okay, a coach that has to needle

884
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: that threat, which is a really good analogy. Um, you

885
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: have to you gotta have your your guys in place

886
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: that are really good assistant coaches that can do a

887
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: lot of you know, that have to do all the

888
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: work for you. What's going on at Lane Johnson? He

889
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: can't just sneak that in there. What's going on you

890
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: guys playing? You know, he's got a barn in his backyard.

891
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: You know, they's this like you know, this gym, this

892
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: weight room, and we called the barn, and everybody wants

893
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: to work out there. Like the Eagles have a good

894
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 1: facility at Nogacare. But you're not having as much fun

895
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: is your Lane, you know, and his girlfriend and his

896
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, his chef and his trainer. They're all there

897
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: and they're welcoming. You know, you just gotta find a

898
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: little spot in the driveway to park the car. But

899
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, I mean every day there's you know, you

900
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: don't know who's gonna be there working out or training.

901
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: Could be an m M fighter, it could be a

902
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: college kid. It could be a guy from another t

903
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: um you know, it's it's like, you know, it's the

904
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: ultimate like uh fraternity over there. I think I might

905
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: take all these top five cities. Ever, Greg's at this point.

906
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: I love I love it when you're turning on the

907
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: Eagles tape now, Like which lineman is it? Lane Johnson

908
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: that that you like watching the most. I almost feel

909
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: like him playing through this torn uh a ductor muscle

910
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: which he read tour has been weirdly under the radar.

911
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: You know, he's obviously one of their very best players.

912
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 1: Uh Like what what too excited watching this team? Well?

913
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean that that that injury, like when he had

914
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: the injury, Like the doctor that everybody in the world

915
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: goes to his Dr William Myers in Philadelphia, And when

916
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: I was at Duke, Bill Myers was at Duke. He

917
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 1: was Bill that. Now he's what, he's a big shots,

918
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: but you know he was our doctor and dude when

919
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: I was there. I know, like he's done two of

920
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: those core muscle surgeries for me. And so when Lane

921
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: had his injury, like I talked to him about it

922
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: and I said, there's no way he can play. Like,

923
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: if they want you to play, you can rest rehabing

924
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: all this, but like as soon as you make an

925
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: explosive move plane like you're just gonna drop. And the

926
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 1: guy's played almost every snap, like it's been unbelievable. Nice.

927
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: He's in his house right now, hooked up with a

928
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: bunch of wires doing the guy never stops doing treatment.

929
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: But it's been amazing watching him. But I also I

930
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 1: love Samalo because Doboy ever says a word about Isaac,

931
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: he's probably the smartest guy on the whole team. He

932
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: could play every position. He's played for dinner, positions in

933
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: a game. Never says a word like he's so he's

934
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: played every snap this year. So steady Um Dickerson. You

935
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: can't have any more fun than Landon Dickerson's having your

936
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: life period, like the guy. The guy's mind is just

937
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: it's just out there. What he's thinking about. What he's

938
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: texting players at two in the morning about having you know,

939
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: like he's thinking about like how he could build a

940
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: barn better than lanes, thinking importantly, like you know, like

941
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 1: you can get into some conversation about him about anything.

942
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: You know, Um, you know when you when you talk

943
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,479
Speaker 1: about Jordan Mallotta, like you guy didn't put a helmet

944
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: on until five years ago, and now like he's throwing

945
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: nick bos around on the field, like you're not supposed

946
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: to be able to do that stuff. He's got six toes,

947
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: Like who has six toes? You know, he's got wet feet,

948
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: like he's he's not even human. He's like, you know,

949
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: he's an amphibian, you know, like the league office something

950
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: that should be you should photograph and like, you know,

951
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: we make fun of his toes. It's a performance enhancer, Mike, Like,

952
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how you find a shoe to fit in.

953
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: Think he doesn't make it, you know, like you gotta

954
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: have like uh, you know, it's like you gotta have

955
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: to fit like a giant fin out there, Like, that's

956
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: why he warms up barefoot every week, you know, because

957
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: he didn't really have shoes that fit. Man, they delivers

958
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: big spot. These two teams, you've anything throughout these playoff

959
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: runs that you've learned about them that kind of I know,

960
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: you're a tape dog above almost all. So you were

961
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: watching all these games throughout the regular season, did you

962
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: learn anything new about the Chiefs of the Eagles throughout

963
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: the upfront? You know, like, I don't know how many

964
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: teams you could do what the Chiefs just did. They

965
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: lost their best corner, Lagarius Sneed on the fourth place.

966
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: All right, he's out there against you know, Jamaar Chase. Alright,

967
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 1: we got a guy that can match up with Chase.

968
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: All Right, they lose one of the fourth place. So

969
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: there's Joshua Williams. You know, there's Jalen Watson. Uh, there's

970
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: Brian Cook, you know, there's you know, Trent mcdealfie. You've

971
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: got four rookies playing in the secondary four like, and

972
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: they're not breaking down and you're, oh, by the way,

973
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: you're going up against Joe Burrow and you're going up

974
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: against maybe the best fleet of receivers in the league.

975
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: And you know they take them all away twice, and

976
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: it's the difference in the game. Like, I just blown

977
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: away by it because, like I thought, pre game, just

978
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: going in and you know a week ago at this time,

979
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: going the Bengals are going after these guys, you know,

980
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 1: Jalen Watson interception against you know, Trevor Lawrence. Okay, here's

981
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: the test, Like they're gonna wear him out. They didn't.

982
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: You know, SPACs had a good game plan, Doubltom won.

983
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: It was appropriate. They didn't break down the back end

984
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 1: because let's face it, if you break down on the

985
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: back end of the defense, either by structure like blown

986
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: a call or missing tackles, you're gonna give up explosive players.

987
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna get beat. And they didn't do that the

988
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 1: whole game. Like I was amazed that Cincinnati couldn't take

989
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: advantage of four rookies playing in the secretary like that.

990
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: You know, before we get out of here, there is

991
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: a play in history that involved you, Baldi, and I'd

992
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 1: love to see something like this in the Super Bowl

993
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 1: because we all love when an offensive lineman does something

994
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: we're not expecting. You go back to you blocked for

995
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson that year nearly seventeen hundred yards. But check

996
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: out this pass to ball the attackle eligible what is

997
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: going on here? Looking at the like I'll get blown

998
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: up there, I'm caught by by the way. I just

999
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: want to just clarify here. The guy tackling me is

1000
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: the fastest player in the Packers. I just want you

1001
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: to know that. It wasn't like some slow lineman to

1002
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 1: catch me. It was the fastest guy on the team.

1003
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: He kind of cut who was the quarterback we were

1004
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: When we had to lead in the fourth quarter, we

1005
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: went to the wish bump and I would go from

1006
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: right guard to the tight end spot to block the

1007
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: edge on these runs. We had Albert Bentley, Eric Dickerson.

1008
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: We had to loaded backfield, and we brought in this

1009
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: quarterback that every ran the wish bump. So I told

1010
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: the coach Ron Meyerson, Look, Ron, I'll do that. I'll

1011
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: make the switch for you, but you gotta pull. You

1012
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: gotta put a pass play in for me. We gotta

1013
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: keep monest like, I'm not gonna just flock like I

1014
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: need like I need a real path. So he goes

1015
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: all right. So we worked in his past, you know,

1016
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: a little play action thing block and you know, hesitate

1017
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 1: and they go out. So they called it. They called

1018
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: the end zone there you know at lambeau Field, and um,

1019
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm proud to say that I led to

1020
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: the league in yards per catch that year with thirty

1021
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: seven yards. And I'm looking at your pro football references.

1022
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: The only catch of your career where you ever targeted again? Well,

1023
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: I was targeted again. And this is where Mike Single

1024
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: Arry comes in. I've beat single Charry in the end

1025
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: zone against chic Against Chicago that year. They were the best,

1026
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: every one of the best defensive football. But like single

1027
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: Cherry had to interfere with me in order to stop

1028
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: me from catching the ball. You should that that guy,

1029
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, that single Cherry guy man, he ruined the

1030
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 1: chance for you attack. Uh baldi um. Always a pleasure, sir,

1031
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: Thank you. Um. You're gonna be in the Phoenix, I

1032
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: assume next week. Yeah, I'm gonna head there for a

1033
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: little bit fun. Maybe we'll be working assignments mostly go

1034
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: have some fun. Can we just be in like your

1035
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 1: entourage perhaps or night out just to see what's going on? Uh?

1036
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: You better you can't, yes, you can't notice how you hesitated.

1037
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean even I'm amazed at what's coming with me

1038
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: to this one party. Like, I'm amazed again, you can't

1039
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 1: tease these things. He's coming. You know it's nobody from Hollywood.

1040
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, when these three girls show up

1041
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: into this party with me, like like, it's it's it's

1042
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: gonna stop. It's gonna stop the party he's gonna deliver to.

1043
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: That's Baldi and somehow added the three of us to

1044
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: the mix. I didn't feel quite as um Baldi couldn't

1045
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: show up as he is right now and uh workout

1046
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: long sleeve tea and a bandana or a tuxedo, either

1047
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 1: one equally possible, and he'll he'll just crush no matter what.

1048
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: I can't wait to. I hope we run into it. Baldi.

1049
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: We love you, buddy, alright. What a legend. It's so clear,

1050
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: uh that where wherever he's going in the evening does

1051
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: not in his mind include us. He is you know,

1052
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: and he is. Let's see, Baldi. Baldi was born in

1053
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty. He's sixty three years old. And I feel

1054
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: like you no, he's not. Yeah, I feel like as

1055
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: a man twenty some odd years as junior. Um, that's

1056
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: best case scenario, Like what could you be if you

1057
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: were born in nineteen sixty What is the best version

1058
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: of a man? Baldi? Yeah, is that am coming on

1059
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: to sin. He's created his own life and lifestyle, though,

1060
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: I think he's done it in a wake. Like downstairs

1061
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,240
Speaker 1: in the locker room, they have our names on lockers

1062
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: and it's very it's all our our full names. It

1063
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: just says Baldi's bio like you just we don't. We

1064
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: all know he's operating a little differently. Um, all right,

1065
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: that was good too. That was interesting to hear Baldi's

1066
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: take on it, and I do it is he had

1067
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: like fifteen valuable nugs. They're always always and it is

1068
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: interesting when you look at like, oh the great defenses?

1069
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 1: Am I missing one in the in these past twenty

1070
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: plus years? Obviously? Ravens Seattle, do you want to say

1071
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: maybe the Denver defense the second Super Bowl den I

1072
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: think you have to say pass rush, yes, defense, you

1073
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: know it. Part of it is just the opponents they've played,

1074
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: Like their numbers defensively aren't quite as overwell. I mean

1075
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: because in theory you can run on them, and they

1076
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: haven't played a lot of high powered one. But now

1077
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: they get the ultimate test. This is it's great, It's

1078
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think I'll watch the game. That's

1079
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. One more I missed this note, Um,

1080
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: but we are very plugged in obviously on the Pro Bowl.

1081
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: And they made a big addition to the Pro Bowl roster.

1082
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: You guys aware of this, UM, Tyler Huntley, he threw

1083
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: two touchdowns this year. He has been added to the

1084
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl roster and he's a fourth alternate. He replaces

1085
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I just want to say, like again, nobody

1086
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: asks us anything. Um, we we can help, like we

1087
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: could help the direction we want the Pro Bowl to

1088
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: be successful in this new iteration. Um, we didn't have

1089
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: to fill that spot. We could have just kept it

1090
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: vacant and and pivoted off that because I don't think

1091
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: it helps Huntley or the Pro Bowl itself ultimately, No,

1092
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: it's like it becomes a talking point where where it

1093
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: stands out and we are used to Pro Bowl alternates

1094
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: all over the map, like Mahomes super Bowl bound, so

1095
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: he's not going Alan Herbert, Lamar Jackson and to all

1096
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: about out due to injury related and Barrow doesn't want

1097
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: to go, so the only like I was like then,

1098
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, there's still gonna be

1099
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: a bunch more than Huntley, but it's Derek Carr and

1100
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders put out a bizarre tweet celebrating with an exclamation, right,

1101
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: the next guy is Trevor Lawrence. That makes sense. But

1102
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: then if you go beyond the list, I would argue

1103
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: that I would have said this like Ryan Tannehill, who

1104
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: absolutely if he wanted to go, like, would be my

1105
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: next guy, Kenny pick it. After that, I put jeollutely.

1106
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: This made news even when it first came up that

1107
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: he was the fourth alternate, because that was public information.

1108
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: People were like, wo, how could that be? And it's

1109
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: the player's vote, like you can you can mix up

1110
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: the different votes. So there was enough people maybe they

1111
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: were just Ravens players. They maybe they went to college

1112
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: with him or friends with him or whatever enough people

1113
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: put him on the initial list that he should be

1114
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: a starter, because it's not like people are voting for

1115
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: altered just for like, I think he was behind Lamar,

1116
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: but it was like Lamar was third alternate and Tyler

1117
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: Huntley was forth for some reason, I don't know, maybe

1118
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens just voted a lot. But yeah, it's a

1119
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: little it's it's a little traveling. It's a player vote

1120
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: like tip this. It's not the fan vote. I mean,

1121
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, but it also is why. It's also

1122
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: not a football game, so it's a little less Octaney

1123
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: in terms of seen Huntley out there. I guess they

1124
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: need someone flag football game and the target practice stuff. Pivot, pivot, panic,

1125
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: pivot like the Empire State building. Um, but you can't

1126
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 1: put that on his Pro Football reference page, can you?

1127
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: But you will? I guess it was well, I was, Well,

1128
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: the first thing that cames in my mind is that,

1129
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, the agent can use that as a you know,

1130
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: a bargaining tool. Is there any escalators in his contracts?

1131
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, Probably not, but I'm sure we'll convince

1132
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: a team to double you. Yeah, you point that out

1133
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: and then I'm the team. I would be like, but

1134
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: he did go throw two touchdowns aware of that, and um,

1135
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, I thought that was good. Baldi also sharing

1136
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: um underlying people should know that for Fort Lauderdell, especially

1137
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: people that aren't from this country, is about thirty miles

1138
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: away from Miami. So that's where Baldi is Miami a

1139
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: clear number one for spring break is too if it

1140
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: sounds like you're involved in that Miami and Greg, just

1141
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: I understand the Houston thing. It's not like certain legendary

1142
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: totally understand because you're not as in with the players

1143
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: as as myself, right, But I think you think that

1144
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: you're you're factoring in things that I haven't with my list.

1145
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: Legendary cuisine, it's a hip hop mecca culturally, it makes sense. Now,

1146
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: Let's what am I missing something else? Why Houston would

1147
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: be higher on the no taxes that? How is he like?

1148
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: How is he neatly? Gentlemen's clubs? There's lots of stuff. Well,

1149
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: they're everywhere. I file that under culture. We have Atlanta

1150
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: on the list. Atlanta, we have Miami on the list,

1151
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta's number two, Vegas on the list. Nightlife anyway, good stuff.

1152
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: Anything else. I will tell you something that came up

1153
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: during that interview. I was born with two um webbed

1154
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: little toes, to be honest, and I had surgery to

1155
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: remove the breaking. But I've never heard I mean, I

1156
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: know it's not that uncommon, but like to have an

1157
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: NFL player with that same situation. I enjoy that, and

1158
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: you had a surgery to reverse early on, because I

1159
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: remember being I mean, I don't know why I'm saying

1160
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:03,919
Speaker 1: this there, but like when I was young and i'd

1161
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: be on the swim team or at the pool, like

1162
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: it's like, well, I realized that my little toes look different.

1163
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: They were almost like double the size. It was like

1164
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: a bone situation, and so I had a surgery to

1165
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: remove it. Would you like an incredible swimmer at that time?

1166
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: It did not help myself. I was all right swim

1167
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: team member, but like if we're talking freestyle, then you

1168
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: get into butterfly and stuff, it's like get out of here.

1169
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 1: But um, I don't think it helps. I think it's

1170
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 1: something that a lot of people are born with. I

1171
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: don't think there's anything Gregg thinks that's something shameful. I

1172
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: don't think so at all. Thank you, Dan, if you've

1173
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: kept it the way you were, you would have been

1174
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 1: just as beautiful to me. Mark. I appreciate that, and

1175
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: I don't not believe you, but I'm glad you're probably

1176
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: a better swimmer before. Yeah, that's that's probably true. Maybe

1177
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: it maybe it helped my lot of his footwork somehow.

1178
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: That's why I said, maybe you gotta send it up

1179
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: the Flag Bowl with the league off. Well, he's had

1180
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: an like a pretty intriguing rise from nowhere, so right

1181
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: almost he's suspiciously great. Yeah, he's from the International Pathway Program.

1182
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: Henry Hodges the incredible size and athleticism that virtually unmatched

1183
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but hes six toes. There's an ex fact.

1184
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Would you take a six toe to be one of

1185
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,919
Speaker 1: the great tackles of the sport? Give me it? Give

1186
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: me a digit, right, I mean I'd take a six

1187
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: toe for a lot less than that. How about it?

1188
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: Like a nice dinner, good steak. I don't think. I

1189
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: don't think you would. Thursday show, by the way, will

1190
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: be the iconic don't say super Bowl show where you

1191
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: will be penalized. We'll figure out some ground rules on this.

1192
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: If you even say the words super Bowl, you can

1193
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: say super and Bowl, um, but not you can't put

1194
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: them together. And if you do, you're penalized. We will

1195
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: not talk the Big Game on Thursday. Now, we gott

1196
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: figure out what we're gonna talk about. There's the challenge.

1197
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 1: You think this is an easy job, all right, it's

1198
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: pretty easy. We're very lucky. But we will give you

1199
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: a great show on Thursday, or we'll try to until then. Hey,

1200
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the coll
