So I went 7 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: to the appointment, came back, re recorded the open, and 8 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: reacted to the John Harbaugh situation, because, let's face it, 9 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: the biggest story of the day, and even though we 10 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: had been talking about it and alluding to it a 11 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: little on the podcast, a lot of you guys dms, 12 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: it's still wild. When you actually read that he got fired, 13 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: it was wow. So we'll dive into just my quick 14 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: reaction to it, as well as some other stuff that 15 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: happened today. Eberflu's fired, Kingsbury fired. We will talk some 16 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: college football, some I saw on the internet, just like 17 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 1: this place really is insane right now as well, something 18 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: I wanted to start doing like once a week.

But let's I guess, 37 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: let's just dive into John Harbaugh. I mean, my first reaction, 38 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: even though we had talked about it a little bit 39 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: and it was on the table as a possibility, and 40 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: I think I had said on Sunday night when they 41 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: lost the game, which I mean, there are a couple 42 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: of feet away from winning the game. Maybe not a 43 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: couple of feet, a couple of yards. It was a bad kick. Obviously, 44 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: John Harball would have been coaching this week, been there 45 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: eighteen years. There's no other reaction when you actually see 46 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: it than wow, Right, Mike Tomlin or John Harbaugh, the 47 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: two longest tenured coaches in the league. If one of 48 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: them lose their job. We've been talking about Tomlin for years, 49 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: but we never believe it's actually gonna happen, even John Harbaugh. 50 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: I didn't expect John Harbaugh to get fun So it's 51 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: one of those things like Jonathan Gannon got fired. No shit, 52 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: Stefanski got run out of town. Saw that one coming. 53 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll won and done. Seriously, they could have done 54 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: that three months ago. This one is pretty crazy. I 55 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: mean it really is. He's a couple of years removed. 56 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: They had the number one overall seed. They were hosting 57 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the AFC Championship. They were statistically easily 58 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: the best team in the league. The Chiefs ended up 59 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: beating the Niners. They had played the Niners on Christmas 60 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: and housed them. They were favored in that game. I 61 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: know because I bet on them, which cost me five g's, 62 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: which did suck a lot, but I had so much 63 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: faith on that team after watching them on that Christmas 64 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: night against a really good Niners team, and they treated 65 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: him like a JV team. A couple of years later, 66 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: he's fired. And these are moments that you know, firing 67 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: Stefanski or Jonathan Gannon like, the owners like him, but 68 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: it's not that big a deal for the organization. Firing 69 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: Brian Dabo he'd been there like three and a half years. 70 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: Firing guy that had been there eighteen years, who you've 71 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: not only obviously won the Super Bowl a long time 72 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: ago with, but had been the leader of one of 73 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: the most consistent operations in the league is a really, 74 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: really big deal. So I think I speak from most 75 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: people that I don't know how your first reaction wasn't Wow, 76 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: they actually did it, and I just took some notes 77 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: of just my initial thoughts. Obviously, there are a lot 78 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: of rumors coming out that they wanted him to fire 79 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: the OC, and it's one of those you know, if 80 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: that's true, prideful guy like, I'm not doing that, So 81 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: not saying it was Lamar versus Harbaugh, but it was 82 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: a little like, yeah, we want to change for Lamar 83 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: on offense, and John said no, which there's going to 84 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: be more stories and more inside articles I would imagine 85 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: written over the next week on some of the details 86 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: with this Lamar situation, John Harbaugh's views on it, the 87 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: organization's views on the offense. But right now I don't know. 88 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: I don't have any inside information, but it's clear, in 89 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: a roundabout way, became Lamar versus the coaching staff's philosophy 90 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: with offense. And listen, you watch that game offensively, it's 91 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: just it's been a little weird. The Derrick Henry thing 92 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: was weird. When he got benched. In the next week 93 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: he runs for two hundred yards and it's just it's 94 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: ben bizarre that there's no way around it. And let 95 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: me say this, I'm not saying, you know, they're not 96 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: justified in doing this. Eighteen years a long time. Maybe 97 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: it's time for a change, Maybe it's time to mix 98 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: it up. Is it gonna be hard to replace? John 99 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: harbaught on because more than likely, statistics would show you 100 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna downgrade. That's the way it works now. Unlike 101 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: his brother, they're probably not gonna go to Jim tom 102 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: Sula because the other thing I wrote down, and we'll 103 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: get into John here in a second. This this is twofold. 104 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: He immediately becomes the best coach on the market by 105 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: a country mile. I mean, it ain't even close. He 106 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: is the number one candidate, and there's not even there's 107 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: not even a gap between second. He can't even see 108 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: the Stefanskis and the Solace and those fucking guys can't 109 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: even see him with binoculars, the best deer hunting scope. 110 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: You couldn't even find him. So he is the number 111 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: one candidate by a mile. Chefter tweeted out seven teams 112 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: in the first forty five minutes, called his agent, well, 113 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: there aren't seven openings, so they are gonna be teams 114 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: that would be firing their coach to hire John Harball, 115 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: which I've said it for Mike Tomlin forever. Like those 116 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: two guys, if they ever became available, run circles around 117 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: the other candidates. They are immediate hires for all these teams. 118 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: Hell John Harbaugh. Like say some of the franchises out loud, 119 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: think John Harbaugh would never coach the Arizona Cardinals. John 120 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: Harbaugh would never coach the Tennessee Titans, Like I can't 121 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: even see John Harbaugh coach in the Atlanta Falcons, though 122 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: if I'm in Atlanta, I'd be all over them. Like, 123 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: let's face it, he feels like a New York Giant, 124 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: and at this point in time, it'd be shocking if 125 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: he's not the head coach of the New York Giants. 126 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: And I also think the Baltimore Ravens immediately lap all 127 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: these clown organizations are the best option by They're the 128 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: number one job on the market and it's not even close. 129 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: They have an established quarterback, they have an established culture, 130 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: they have a consistency of drafting well with DaCosta and Nazi. 131 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: They have an owner that is stable and not like 132 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: a lot of these clowns that have no clue what 133 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: he's doing. He knows what it looks like. He will 134 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: stand with you through thick and thin. I mean eighteen years. 135 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: That's a long freaking time. I saw right now, Andy 136 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: reads the longest tenure or Tomlin technically is right oh seven, 137 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: assuming that he keeps his job. But let's you know, 138 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: who knows this week, what if they get blown out 139 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: by the Texans that Tomlin and then it goes Andy 140 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you're all like Kyle 141 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: and McVeigh. So this is a league that runs through 142 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: these guys like you know, I run through paper towels, 143 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: and guys like John Harbaugh. They are they don't come often, 144 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: and he's going to get a job. Listen, I understand 145 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: the Rooney rule, and I mean Mike Tomlin benefited from 146 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: it because they just interviewed him and loved him and 147 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: got the job. You should not have to interview If 148 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm the Giants and I want to hire John Harbaugh 149 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: to be my head coach, I've said this forever. There 150 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: has to be some sort of stipulation, like if you've 151 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, I don't need to go through 152 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: and interview people just to interview people. If I want 153 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: to hire him, I should be able to hire him yesterday. 154 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: And I would say this if I'm Joe Shane, that 155 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: would be a problem because that would not guarantee your employment. 156 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: If John Harbaugh has like the Ravens guys, one thing 157 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: they're really good at is producing personnel people. Google Azzi's 158 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: tree is basically like the opposite of you know, Belichick's 159 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: coaching tree. So you see Joe Ortiz immediately go with 160 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: John or Jim Harbaugh. He's good at his job, right, 161 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: He's just good at his job. So if John's like, hey, 162 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: I got a guy like like Joe, it wouldn't be 163 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: Joe Ortiz, but someone like that that I want to 164 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: bring with me. Joe Shane's getting the pink slip and 165 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: he's done. It happens like that, And like, I don't 166 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: think there should have to be some charade, Like I 167 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: get it with most of these co you have to interview, 168 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: like Robert Salas and Matt Naggi's like, you have to 169 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: follow the rules, right, But John Harbaugh, there should be 170 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: no I want to hire John Harbaugh. I'm hiring anora. 171 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: That should be allowed because if I was the Giants, 172 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: like I'd want to be hired yesterday. And I think 173 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense with his personality, with 174 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: that that region of the country he's comfortable in. Uh, 175 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: if I was a betting man right now, John Harbaugh 176 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: would be the next coach in the New York Giants. 177 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: And to go from the situation they've been in, if 178 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: that comes to fruition, you should be like, think of 179 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: the guy Pat Shermer's and mcadoo's and the dable the 180 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: situation the way that Joe Judge. I mean, give me 181 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: a break, it would it would. He's older, though the 182 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: Hardballs feel a little younger. I mean, I think John's 183 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: like sixty three, uh, would be a pretty big game 184 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: changer for the culture of the organization. It would have 185 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: a Coughlin type vibe. So and the Ravens. I saw 186 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah, who obviously works with all these He works 187 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: for the Chargers as their radio play or analysts with 188 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: the play by play guy Matt Muney Smith, like jesse Mentor, 189 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: you know Mike McDonald, jesse Mintor were creations of the 190 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: Raven operation, and by all accounts, jesse Mentor is a star. Well, 191 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: if anyone's gonna know that it's the Harbaugh family, now, 192 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: is it a little weird to replace John. I also 193 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: think when you read John's statement one, you don't get 194 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: fired in that statement on that like Adobe Canva, like 195 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: they've known this was heading that way potentially. But if 196 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: you know so, maybe there's not as much bad blood 197 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: as there would be for most of us humans if 198 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: we got fired or relieved of our duties. But I 199 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: do think that jesse Mentor would be a name that 200 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: I'd be stunned if he's not one of their lead 201 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: candidates and he doesn't end up his the Ravens job. 202 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: But if I were all these guys that are sniffing 203 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: around on jobs, that would be the number one job 204 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: and it wouldn't even be close. Right. That's what's crazy 205 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: about this situation is the guy you fired immediately the 206 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: best candidate, and your job is immediately the best job. 207 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: And I think now it kind of puts a lot 208 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: of pressure on this Lamar situation for you know, because 209 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: they're judged the Ravens are judged on the playoffs at 210 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: this point in time. That's and that's is a difficult job. Right. 211 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: You get hired, you're expected to not only make the playoffs, 212 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: but like, can we win a super Bowl? Now? Can 213 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: we get back to the super Bowl? And that's that's 214 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: not like you go to the Titans, you win six games, shit, 215 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: they give you an extension. You went to the Giants, 216 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: you went nine to eight back to back years. John Morrow, 217 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: buy a beach house, right, you you go to the Cardinals, 218 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: if you just beat McVeigh or Kyle once in a while, Jonathan, 219 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, Michael Bidwell buying a golf membership here silver Leaf. 220 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: So that's not the case with the Ravens. You get hired, 221 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: you're expected to win, You're expected to win big. And 222 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh went to the playoffs a lot, right, and 223 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: he had some devastating losses. That comes with the territory. 224 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: I would say none was a bigger pivotal moment in 225 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: his career then that Chiefs lost at home a couple 226 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: of years ago. You know, I think, listen, we can 227 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: make fun the butterfly effect of the kid missing the 228 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: kick on Sunday Night, which obviously was big. Now, if 229 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: he refused to fire Munken and that was not gonna change, 230 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: then he was probably getting fired no matter what, unless 231 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: he won the Super Bowl. But that moment a couple 232 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: of years ago, he beats the Chiefs in that game, 233 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: I just think they're winning the super Bowl and you're 234 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: looking at a two T like he's he's kind of untouchable. 235 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: And this back and forth or the ad odds a 236 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: little bit with the quarterback and the scheme and the 237 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: coaches would have as much juice as him, and he doesn't. 238 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: Right now, he simply doesn't. Right, So crazy moment, I 239 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: mean one of those stories that it's just wild when 240 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: you see it, and Tomlin would be the same thing. 241 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: It's just wow, seismic earthquake that just erupts through the NFL. 242 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: And I think it gets back to the schefter thing 243 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: of him tweeting out that you have teams with coaches 244 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: talking to them like teams with coaches aren't. Like, can 245 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: I interview Robert Sala? You know, and listen. I'm not 246 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: trying to shit on Roberts. I like Robert saw a lot, 247 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: but he's clearly gonna be one of the top candidates 248 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: this cycle. There are certain coaches Mike Tomlin is one 249 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: of those guys too. If they were available, teams with 250 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: coaches go, I want to get rid of my guy 251 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: to hire that guy, And I don't even I would 252 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: imagine that could be the the Bucks. If I'm Jason 253 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: light like, I would you rather have John Harbor or 254 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: Tom Bowles. I'm just trying thinking off the cuff. Jerry 255 00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: probably not. John's too famous. Whose do the Bengals never would? 256 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: Who are teams that missed the playoffs? Commanders? Where does 257 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: Josh Harris come from the NBA? What are you always 258 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: chasing stars? Big names? Of coaches. Look at who he's 259 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: hired at coaches, Doc Rivers, Nick Nurse, you know, champion 260 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: type guys. He's looking at dan Quinn. Would you rather 261 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: have Dan Quinn or John Harbaugh? Would not shock me 262 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: at all if the Commanders and Tampa Bay Bucks were 263 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: two teams with teams that reached out. And I'm not 264 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: talking about their gms, I'm talking with the owners. What 265 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: did the Glaziers once upon an end to trade for Gruden? 266 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: Look at Josh Harris who's hired as coaches of his 267 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: NBA team. Look at what they've chased with their NBA 268 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: team with players. Look at today they got rid of 269 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: their two coordinators. Just say, you get the fuck out 270 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: of here. Guys were the coordinators last year when they 271 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: were in the NFC Championship game with the least talented 272 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: roster we've ever seen make it that far. So this 273 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: league's crazy, and today was truly one of those moments 274 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: that we don't get enough of it that makes you 275 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: go wow.

Let's dive into the previous 305 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: recorded part of the podcast, But I did want to 306 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: start with the Dallas Cowboys, and they fired Matt Eberflus, 307 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: who sent out a press released and said we released 308 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus like he's a player. No, no, Jerry, you 309 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: fired Matt Eberflus. And I think this happens a lot 310 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: in football when coaches don't have much juice. Probably happens 311 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: to a lot of industries when you have more poll 312 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: whoever you're working for or with, let you do what 313 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: you want to do. When you don't have much pull 314 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: and you don't have much leverage. We just saw it 315 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: with Pete Carroll. You think Pikroll wanted to hire Chip Kelly. No, 316 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: but Pete Carroll didn't have any leverage, you know in 317 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, so he had to work with him 318 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: and Brian Schottenheimer probably had the least amount of leverage 319 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: in like the history of the NFL. So think about this. 320 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus had worked for the Dallas Cowboys before he 321 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: went to the Colts and then the Bears. Right remember 322 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels when he took herned down the job in 323 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: Indy hired Eberflus before he even got there. So eber 324 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: Flus was waiting in his office. He never showed. But 325 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: I think the thing with eber Flus is one he's 326 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: not very good. I've never seen it. You know, you 327 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: watch the hard Knocks. He comes across as no jews. 328 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, some just off. You know there's something 329 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: and you can overrate hard knocks all you want. There 330 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: is a judgment on like I feel this guy's presence. 331 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: I see this right, you know it, knew it right away, 332 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: like Bill O'Brien's presence, Dan Campbell's presence. You watch Matt 333 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: eberflusch like, what is this and the irin is he's 334 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: a Saban guy played for Saban at Kent State, Like 335 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: they're pretty close, and he just thinks. But here's the 336 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: thing about Brian shotten Neer, while their record isn't great, 337 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: kind of proved to Jerry, like I can be a 338 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: head coach and I definitely can run the offense because 339 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: the offense was awesome. I don't know, I didn't even 340 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: see the final stats Sunday with such a joke. I mean, 341 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, I guess he probably didn't cause Stafford probably 342 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: bypassed him, but had led league in yards. Their offense 343 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: for most of the year was really good. The defense 344 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: was atrocious. There is no way of Brian Schottenheimer had 345 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: his choice, he would have hired Ebraflus. That is your 346 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: classic we're telling you who to hire. Happens all across 347 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: the league when gms have a lot of juice, When 348 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: owners don't trust the coach, they force guys on their 349 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: coaching staff. You know, it's something that it's rarely reported 350 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: when guys are hired because you don't want to know. 351 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: And like, well, the owner forced me to hire this 352 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: offensive or defensive coordinator. Definitely wouldn't have been my first hire. 353 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: But you feel it when a guy's fired, and to me, 354 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: that shows that like Brian Schottenheimer kind of gained a 355 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: little bit of juice. It's crazy to say because the 356 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys weren't that good, but I do think his offensive 357 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: prowess and let's face it, handles himself I thought pretty 358 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: well in kind of a weird circumstance to be like, 359 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: this guy's got to go. And you could tell the 360 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: way Jerry was talking like two or three weeks ago 361 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: when one of his postgame press conference is like, yeah, 362 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: Eberflus came really highly re I commended. It's like Jerry, 363 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: he worked for you, like you knew him. So I 364 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: just think sometimes these guys the NFL, you know, has 365 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: turned that there's a scam element to it. There always 366 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: has been, but now with the money on the line, 367 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: you know, I just saw we'll get into Cliff Kingsbury, 368 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: who is now being paid by three different organizations, three 369 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: different organizations. In the real world, like outside of football, 370 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: you would get to the point where people start suing you, 371 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, and these coaches like Cliff Kingsbury all time 372 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: scam artist. I mean, I've never seen it with Cliff, 373 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: and this is nothing personal. It seems like a great guy, 374 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: hard worker. Everyone likes him personally. I think his offense, 375 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: I mean makes me want to puke in my mouth. 376 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: He's had a slight moment of brilliance for the Cardinals, 377 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: and two years ago it's like they were touched by 378 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: the gods. They were like ninety five percent on fourth downs, 379 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: which is never sustainable. And obviously they had a bunch 380 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: of injuries. But he got ran out of town real quick. 381 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,719 Speaker 1: And no one has a better pr campaign than Cliff. 382 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: Like a month ago, people were like, oh, Cliff Kingsbury 383 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: is gonna be interviewing for head coaching jobs. You know 384 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: why that came out because it was pretty clear Washington 385 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: was gonna fire him. You can tell me you mutually departed, 386 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: give me a break. That means fired. We've seen that 387 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: for years. Jim Harball once famously mutually departed with the 388 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. A month later, it's like, yeah, they 389 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: fired me, of course they did. Cliff Kingsbury was just fired. Now. 390 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: I'd also say like kind of chaotic and this we 391 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: just talked about Brian Schottenheimer. The one thing you get 392 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: with Brian Schottenheimer, and these two teams are in the 393 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: same division, more than likely are gonna be competing for 394 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: second place next year behind the Eagles. Is one thing 395 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: you get with Brian is like, I know he's calling 396 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: the offense. I know him and Dak and whoever you 397 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: bring in, it's his scheme, it's his baby, that's his thing. Well, 398 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: dan Quinn's like, this defensive guy didn't even call defense 399 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: until he took it over Midseas. What's kind of why 400 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: he got back in the good graces of everybody in Dallas. 401 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: He was kicking ass the defensive coordinator, and I think 402 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: that also undid Ebraflus because Jerry a couple of years 403 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: ago saw what a great defensive coordinator looks like, making 404 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: kind of random guys become really good players. Kingsbury, I 405 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: mean to me, he's got a Chip Kelly thing to him. 406 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: The name is way bigger than the ROI you get. 407 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: The name's really famous, and obviously Cliff's a good looking dude. 408 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: But when it comes to offensive prowess, good defenses are 409 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: licking their lips to play that guy. And you can 410 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: tell me Jayden was banged up this year, and that 411 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: is true. But if you want Cliff Kingsbury to be 412 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator and call your plays, I will short 413 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: your organization in the National Football League. I would say 414 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: the same thing for Chip Kelly. And you know clearly 415 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: if you are going. And here's the thing with Cliff, 416 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: like when you get a guy like Jayden who the 417 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: question mark is now, it's like, we got to keep 418 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: him healthy. We gotta be careful with him. He could 419 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: be a little reckless. We'll see easiest way to keep 420 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: him healthy. Run the football, have a run oriented operation. 421 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: And I would imagine Dan Quinn and this listen, Adam 422 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: Peters had a front row seat for a long time 423 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: for Kyle Shanahan and you know that offense, and you 424 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: just have to wonder, like, you know, Lafloor's not the 425 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: packer one, but the brother who's now Mike, who's with 426 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: the Jets and who is now with the Rams under McVeigh, 427 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: Like I wonder if he will want to institute something 428 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: like that, some version of that for jayde And why 429 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: because it's not only quarterback friendly, it's keep your quarterback, 430 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, away from chaos, a lot of play action 431 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: stuff and obviously running the ball as paramount, but Washington, 432 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: Like I think Dan Quinn is immediately on the odd 433 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: seat because this team was the oldest team in the NFL. 434 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: Some of the guys like Deebo Samuel's a free agent. 435 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: You know, Bobby Wagner who had to play all season long, 436 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: all time great player, legendary player. I mean, he had 437 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: no business being on the field this year. Couldn't move 438 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: and it's a space league, so you're you know, you're 439 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: playing in the open field, and he just couldn't cover 440 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: a soul, he couldn't change direction. It was it was 441 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: tough to watch. If it was just a run play downhill, 442 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: he could make it. But most of the plays in 443 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: the NFL get you going laterally and you kind of 444 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: felt bad watching it. But that's on the organization. And 445 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: now you fire the defensive coordinator as well. Here's what 446 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: head coaches always do. They start pointing the finger. And 447 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: what's crazy to me is last year everything was great, 448 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: and then this year that these guys just forget how 449 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: to coach football. Or are you kind of admitting, like, eah, 450 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: we's never really believed in these guys from the jump. 451 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: But listen, Washington, we thought had turned the corner when 452 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: they hired Adam, when they hired Dan Quinn, they got 453 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: this new ownership. This year was pretty chaotic and now 454 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: they're blowing out people left and right. So the owner 455 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: comes from the NBA, in a sport that gets very 456 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: used to firing coaches, the seventy six yers, they will 457 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: not hesitate shit cand of people, so he ain't afraid 458 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: to pay people to go away. And the one thing 459 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL, especially when you have a young quarterback stability. Well, 460 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: Jane Daniels on his second offensive coordinator now in three years, 461 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: and he's coming off an injury riddled year. So whoever 462 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: they hire, whatever system that they implement, is going to 463 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: be extremely important for the long term health of Jane 464 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: Daniel's career. Which is crazy because last year he looked 465 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: like a superstar and this year just fell apart every 466 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: you know which way from the jump. It felt like 467 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: he was injured from the jump and never looked right 468 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: when he played. And last on the ownership front, I 469 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: watched some of Carly Ursay's press conference pretty clear and listen, 470 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: not everyone's a good public speaker. I totally get it. 471 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,719 Speaker 1: My brother, who can do so many things that I 472 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: can't dream of doing could barely speak at my wedding 473 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: to give a speech. He was so nervos couldn't even 474 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: eat his dinner. And so it's like, there are certain 475 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: things I can't relate to. Carly Ursay not a great 476 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: public speaker, but like I've seen it, Like I don't 477 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: judge you on that. Not everyone's comfortable speaking in front 478 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: of people. That doesn't make or break you as a 479 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: quote unquote leader to be not comfortable in front of 480 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,479 Speaker 1: the press, and in twenty twenty five owners rarely talk anyway. 481 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: But I just tried to take away her words and 482 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 1: she didn't really have any Like she couldn't really justify Beside, 483 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: she likes Chris Ballard and she thinks Shane Sichen's good 484 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: at his job. And obviously Chris Ballard's gone nine plus years, 485 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: has a woner division has been in the playoffs. I 486 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: think I saw someone say it's seven years. That was 487 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 1: like Luck's last healthy year playing. And I got an 488 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: interesting text from a buddy in the NFL about the Colts, 489 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: and I think They're bigger issue is the team has 490 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: a lot of question marks. You know, obviously the quarterback 491 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: situation is a disaster. The guy that was gonna resurrect 492 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: their franchise just because he was competent. Has a torn 493 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,959 Speaker 1: achilles and he is a broken leg, but so obviously 494 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: Anthony Rigton is not to be on this team next year. 495 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: There is even said with Kirk Cousins, who now granted 496 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: he was older but not mobile. Cousins looked way better 497 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: this year than he did last year. So to think 498 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones, these guys, if they don't make the 499 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: playoffs next year, they're just both getting fired, no matter 500 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: how much he likes him or not, because there's too 501 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: much fan pressure and you can tell they're putting out statements. 502 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: She's trying to, you know, say all the right things, 503 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: but people are pissed because this team just always sucks 504 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: and not suck enough where it's like, okay, we bottomed out. 505 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: We can get Fernando Mendoza, like always kind of in 506 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: the middle, like seven, eight, nine wins, just get going 507 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: nowhere fast. And a buddy sent me this. He's like, 508 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: they're in a tough spot. This is a guy that 509 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: works in the league. Pittman has regressed. Taylor will want 510 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: a contract. Lat too decent but not huge impact. Buck 511 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: and Grover getting older, and I look Jonathan Taylor's contract, 512 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 1: it was built so if it had gone wrong, they 513 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: could have got out this year. So the guaranteed money 514 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,719 Speaker 1: starts changing. So when you're a great player, it's like, well, 515 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 1: I want my more guaranteed money now, and it's not, well, 516 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: well we haven't been winning. They don't care, and I 517 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: don't blame them for not care. You gotta take advantage. 518 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: That's the business you're in. But I think the Colts now. 519 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: The other thing that's scary is the Texas are solid 520 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: right Casario Demiico, their infrastructure, their young players like they're 521 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: going nowhere. But to me, the Jags, it's like, well, 522 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,719 Speaker 1: they don't feel like they're going anywhere either. So it's like, uh, 523 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: are we sure Daniel Jones is gonna be ready to play? 524 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: What if Jonathan Taylor wants, you know, twenty five million 525 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: dollars a year. We don't have a first round pick. 526 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: I forgot to mention that we do not have a 527 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: first round pick for the next two years because of 528 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: the Sauce Gardener trade. And listen, if Sauce is healthy, 529 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: it obviously gives us a really good corner. But ideally 530 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: that was gonna go with Charvarius Ward, who's also a 531 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: good corner, would give us one of the best defensive 532 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: backfields in the you know, the league when it comes 533 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: to starting corners. Charvarius' dad, and I don't even blame him, 534 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: wants him to retire. I think he got three concussions 535 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: this year and he had a unch when he was 536 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, like it's a problem. So 537 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: you have this situation where you're all in unsauce. You 538 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: need him to be a star because you just trade 539 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: the first round picks and the guy you were gonna 540 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: pair him with has a serious concussion issue. And there's 541 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. It's his decision, But wouldn't shock 542 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: anybody if he just calls her quits. So I think 543 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: if you're a Colts fan, you go listen. Jim Irsay 544 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: was losing his marbles towards the end. It was impulsive, 545 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,719 Speaker 1: But you have this, you know, his daughter now in 546 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: this situation where she has a really close relationship with 547 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, and Chris even said, I guess he told 548 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: her like last year, I don't ever want our relationship 549 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: to impact your view on my performance, which is easy 550 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: for him to stay out loud makes him seem like 551 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: good guy and listen. I've never heard a bad word 552 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: about Chris, but most people will get fired in his situation. 553 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: And I think it's safe to say if Pops was 554 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: still around, you know, in his you know, before the 555 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: last couple of years really fell off a cliff, I 556 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: think Chris would have been done and he survived because 557 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say she likes him personally. 558 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: The transfer portal, I think this is fascinating. Twenty five 559 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: percent of Division one A football players are in the portal. 560 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: I heard a stat there are enough players in the 561 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: portal to fill every SEC roster. I'm not a huge 562 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: like it's broken, it needs a change. I'm kind of 563 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: entertained by it all. I just talked to a buddy 564 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: who I'm trying to help a guy's son land somewhere, 565 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: former big recruit who you know, got four you know. 566 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: Part of the transfer portal now is like when I 567 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: worked at frisone State. I remember Pat Hill, there would 568 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: have been twelve fifteen guys a year he just would 569 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: have cut right. That were just shittheads that wouldn't listen 570 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: that I'm not even talking because they were bad players. 571 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: And some of that as well, Like you miss on 572 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: recruits you could, you weren't allowed to do that really, 573 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: right if they were in good academic standing, you kind 574 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: of just had to stick with him and you couldn't 575 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: just get rid of the scholarship, so you ended up 576 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: keeping them around anyway. Now, what happens. I just saw 577 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: Arch Manning's roommate, a wide receiver. It happens all over 578 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: the country, and I know someone personally that happened to. 579 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: The coach comes to you and it's typically a younger 580 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: player and says, you're never gonna play here. You are 581 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: not welcome on the team anymore. Now legally they have 582 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: to honor your scholarship, so they say you can stay 583 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: on campus and we you know, at Texas, at Arizona, 584 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: at wherever, and you can stay on scholarship and just 585 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: go to school, but you are no longer on the 586 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: football team. That is something over the last couple of 587 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: years that did not exist in college football. Maybe like 588 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: Saban could push a guy out, you know, a big 589 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: time coach could because a big recruit like you're never 590 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: gonna play here, and kind of force his hand, but 591 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: not like now or just you can just legitimately tell 592 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: a guy you need to leave. It happens in the 593 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: NFL all the time. You're just you're cut, right, we're 594 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: cutting or releasing you, kind of like Eberflus leasing you. 595 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: And it happens now. It happens in college football left 596 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: and right. So a lot of these guys in the portal, 597 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: some of them are going in to try to get 598 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: more money. A lot of them, especially younger ones, are 599 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: told you're not good enough, you're not welcome here. Also, 600 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: we want to go into the portal and get an 601 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: older guy. Rick Patino said this a couple of years ago. 602 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: High school kids are in major trouble, and it's no 603 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: different in college football. Because if you're a college football 604 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: coach trying to win in twenty twenty six, it's my 605 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: thing with Lincoln Riley, it's like he's getting a lot 606 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: of credit and he's got this new stud GM that 607 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: has the number one recruiting class in the country. Historically, 608 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: that's a massive deal. I'd say in twenty twenty six, 609 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: it's never meant less. Ideally you hit on a couple 610 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: of those guys, But in like two years, if a 611 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: guy's not playing or what he might just leave Hell 612 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: in a year he can leave. So I think this 613 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: situation is pretty crazy. But I will also say this forever, 614 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: it's been like my child just it's not gonna play 615 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: college football. Just be realistic before it even pops out. 616 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: But a lot of people that thought their child had 617 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: a chance at college athletics, it was because they got 618 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: free college. Right. I want to get my son a scholarship, 619 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: get my daughter a scholarship, so they go to school 620 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: for free, big deal. I mean, it saves you a 621 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: lot of money. I don't blame anyone for thinking that, 622 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: even though a tiny tiny percent of kids actually go 623 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: to college to you know, to get a full ride, 624 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: and then a tiny tiny percent of those guys go 625 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: on to play professional sports. Well. Chris Vanini, who covers 626 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: college football for The Athletic, I saw he posted this 627 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: tweet because he wrote an article that quarterbacks now starting 628 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the power for on the low end or 629 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: making a million, and on the high end are making 630 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: up four to five million dollars. I just talked to 631 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: a college coach today actually, and he was laughing. He says, 632 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,719 Speaker 1: it's crazy that if you are if someone tells you, like, hey, 633 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna be a fourth round pick. Historically, a lot 634 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: of guys I'm leaving. I'm going pro now. It's like 635 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not taking a pay cut, and they stay. 636 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: He's like, I bet die I said, Diego Pavio would 637 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: play college football if he could till he's like thirty 638 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: eight years old. He'd be like Aaron Rodgers of Vanderbilt 639 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: in the SEC. I never really, I don't blame him. 640 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: I mean, you start making seven figures, like, I don't 641 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: want to give this up. I don't want to take 642 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,919 Speaker 1: a pay cut, go into the real world and quarterbacks. 643 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I just saw that Sam Levitt. I don't 644 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: think he's officially signed, but there were rumors that go 645 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,479 Speaker 1: to Kentucky for five million dollars. I saw a great 646 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: tweet like there's never been greater proof that we printed 647 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: too much money. I agree, and I'm not anti anyone 648 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: making money. It seems like I remember Jackson Arnold last 649 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: year went to Auburn for like three four million dollars. 650 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: It's like, what are we doing? Uh? You know, edge 651 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: rushers on the low end are going for half a 652 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: mill on the high end or going for two million. 653 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: Offensive tackles, which obviously should you know, go for a lot, 654 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: same thing going up for two million dollars and on 655 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: the low end six to seven hundred thousand dollars. There 656 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: has never ever been a better time to be a athlete. 657 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: And it's not even close. Obviously, popularity for college football 658 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: is at an all time high. Ratings are through the 659 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: roof the college Football Playoff. But forever it was a 660 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: really big deal, like I played We all know these people. 661 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: I'm forty years old. Like got a buddy, you played 662 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: it usc with Pete Carroll, Got a buddy you played it, 663 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: you know in Iowa for Kirk Farence. Now he runs 664 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: a bank, or now he's the number one sales guy 665 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: for this medical device company. We all know these people. 666 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 1: But nowadays, if you just even if you don't sniff 667 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: going pro, you're gonna make hundreds of thousands of dollars 668 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: if you're playing Division one football. And let's face it, 669 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys. For every you know Bane 670 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: or Caleb Downs or all the sweet players, even the 671 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: good starters on the good teams, there are a lot 672 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: of below average guys who are cashing in. And you know, 673 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,240 Speaker 1: for these parents that used to force their kid like lift, weights, 674 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: eat right, all that stuff. I think this stuff's only 675 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 1: getting crazier. It's only gonna get crazy because it's like, yeah, 676 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,959 Speaker 1: we don't even who cares if we even go pro? 677 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: If we could make several million dollars in our late 678 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: teens and early twenties. I'm still kind of at a loss. 679 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: What are these guys doing with all this money? Like 680 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: you spend so much time in the fall playing football meetings, 681 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: practice lifting, sleeping. I mean, you don't have that much 682 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,240 Speaker 1: time in the day. And a lot of these towns 683 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 1: are small. There wouldn't even be anything to spend a 684 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: lot of money on. It's not like you're gonna buy 685 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: some you know, million dollar house there. You're you're only 686 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: there for a couple of years. I hope a lot 687 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,959 Speaker 1: of these guys which I wouldn't have I don't even 688 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: know what I would have blown it on, but it 689 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: would have been the dumbest shit possible. I mean, I 690 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: can't even like rent out a movie theater to play 691 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: Call of Duty for the week with all my buddies. 692 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: You can go unlimited food. I mean you would you 693 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: would just think of the stupidest stuff ever. Obviously, on 694 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,399 Speaker 1: top of any time you went out, you would pay 695 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: for everything. But these cats are living well. Man. Most 696 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: of us when we were in college drinking natty lights 697 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: and you know, pop off vodka out of a plastic bottle. 698 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:16,439 Speaker 1: Not anymore. They are drinking top shelf good stuff, eating well. 699 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 1: I mean the amount of college kids historically that eat 700 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: just Chipotle and McDonald's and just whatever's cheap. These dudes 701 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: are going to the steakhouse five nights a week. So 702 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 1: props to them forgetting the cash, and props to some 703 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: of these coaches that can you know, I guess just 704 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: get rid of guys. I did want to start something 705 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: new as someone. I'm recording this on Tuesday, kind of 706 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: a little after lunch. We have a doctor's appointment to 707 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: find out if the baby is flipped right now. Obviously, 708 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: the head's up, and for those of you non parents 709 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: or non future parents are in the mix, I wouldn't 710 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 1: even have known this either. The head's gotta be down 711 00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 1: for the baby to come out naturally. If the head 712 00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: is up, you gotta open up the belly and take 713 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: the baby out. Turns out my baby or future son 714 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: has a ninety percent dome big head. I got a 715 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: big head too, so I don't know, you know, if 716 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 1: she you know, she's only she's like five to five, 717 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: so it's not like she's super long for the baby 718 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: to move around. So pretty good chance. Next Thursday we 719 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: will be having this baby. And I said, you know, 720 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: as we transition to Netflix, gotta mix it up and 721 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: have a little fun. So I'm gonna notice so much 722 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,720 Speaker 1: stuff with being a father, doing stuff funny, serious things 723 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: that pissed me off. Everything around the kid too. I'm 724 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: not even specifically talking about the human being. I'm just 725 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: talking about everything that surrounds the baby. We went to 726 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: this pediatrician the other day, like another couple, and he 727 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: was telling us all this stuff. It's just so much 728 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: stuff that is not even out of your comfort zone, 729 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: but you couldn't even fathom what you're getting involved in, 730 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: which is it's also fun. But I thought, let's just 731 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: write down things that I think or things that I 732 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: want to rant on and call it the Dad Diaries 733 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: because a lot of you guys are fathers out there, 734 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: some of you have older kids that can relate to this. 735 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: I want to start with this because I was born 736 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four and most people in my life 737 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: up until about high school, were all like similar, Like 738 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: I guess middle class just normal and middle class. Back then, 739 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: people making thirty forty grand a year, like, most people 740 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: all kind of on the same level. So whether you 741 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: made thirty grand or sixty grand, like, everyone was kind 742 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: of the same. I didn't know people that were multi millionaires. 743 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: But the thing was that every kid looked the same 744 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: if you just went around, most of us had a 745 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,240 Speaker 1: couple pair of shorts, couple shirts, maybe a pair of shoes. Honestly, 746 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: up until I was like in high school, I feel 747 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 1: like it didn't have that many clothes. I would wear 748 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: a lot of like my high school football teams T 749 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,839 Speaker 1: shirts that we got, or I was on the golf team, 750 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: like colored shirts they'd give us. I had a couple 751 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: pair of shorts, pair of Nike sh use maybe I 752 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: mean a couple of hats. I feel like most kids 753 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: in my generation, like the eighties and the nineties, we 754 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: all kind of looked the same, unless you were like 755 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, like a Trump or some really rich 756 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: person like dressed up. I felt like I wore the 757 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: same clothes as everyone else I was around, Like I 758 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: went to high school. You look back at some pictures 759 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 1: we were all wearing the same stuff. My unmorn child, 760 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,359 Speaker 1: he has not even come out yet, easily has more 761 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: clothes in his room. And I would say eighty percent 762 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: we have purchased. My mother in law came down with 763 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 1: two suitcases because like her cousins and some of our 764 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 1: family members gave us a bunch of clothes. But obviously 765 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: it's a little more difficult when you live in a 766 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: different state than a lot of people you know to travel. 767 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: It's not like I can just drive over and get 768 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: the stuff, so it's like we're just purchasing it. And 769 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,479 Speaker 1: I think a big thing is this changed the game. 770 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 1: And I would say this for myself as well. Even 771 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,839 Speaker 1: though I basically have a closet full of clothes, I 772 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: wear probably ten percent of them three d and sixty 773 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: five days a year. I think I read a stat 774 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: most human beings, unless you're in a certain industry, wear 775 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: like less than twenty percent of their clothes, which to 776 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: me is very true. But this baby, who is going 777 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: to grow at a rapid rate, probably has more clothes 778 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: before he's even arrived than I had the first ten 779 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: years of my life. And she's not alone like I'm 780 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 1: not putting this on her for doing this. I think 781 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: this is a big thing with the Internet and the 782 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: clothing industry. You could argue no industry has benefited more. 783 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: And I'm not even counting babies. I'm just out in 784 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: clothing industry in general because the social media marketing like 785 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: it works, like that wasn't even an option. We just 786 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: went over to places when I was like seven or 787 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: eight or ten, and people just had the three ring 788 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,879 Speaker 1: binders of polaroids in a laminate and You're like, oh, 789 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 1: cool picture, cool pictures. That was our Facebook, that was 790 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: our Instagram. And I just think the simpler times made it. 791 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: I don't even know if it was good or bad. 792 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: I just think we all look the same and every 793 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: single person kind of wore the same shit that clearly 794 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: is not the came my son from jackets to corduroys 795 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,879 Speaker 1: to cool onesies like I don't think I had any 796 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: of that when I was a kid. And here's the 797 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 1: other thing. We have more contraptions of bottle washers, three 798 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:29,360 Speaker 1: different strollers, trash can that has a special contraption to 799 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: like get rid of the odor on the shits, to 800 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 1: changing tables, to all sorts of stuff that Again, I'm 801 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: not trying to be a Debbie Downer here because I'm 802 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: excited and it's fun. But I told a buddy the 803 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,919 Speaker 1: other day, people have been having kids since the cave 804 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 1: man days. And even if you just go back to 805 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: like when my parents were born, you know, if your 806 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: parents in the fifties and sixties, whatever, it's like people 807 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 1: didn't even wear seatbelts. They threw their kid in the 808 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: back of the car. They just threw their kid in 809 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 1: the crip. Now it's like kids wear whooped. There are 810 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,919 Speaker 1: all these rules, and I just wonder if we've over 811 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 1: complicated this stuff a little. I just can't imagine that 812 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: all these contraptions are necessary because I think back to 813 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 1: and again, it's not like I have that many memories 814 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,400 Speaker 1: from being you know, obviously being one or two, but 815 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: I kind of remember, you know, when my brother was born, 816 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: when I was like four and a half five years old, 817 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: definitely when we shared a room up until I was 818 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 1: probably like ten or eleven, and we only had a 819 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: two bedroom house. So by the time I was like 820 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: I got to junior high, like, I don't want to 821 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: live with Jeff anymore, so they put me in the 822 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: living room before we kind of did this room model 823 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: and added a room. Because we only had two bedrooms. 824 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 1: We put me in the living room. My dad got 825 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,720 Speaker 1: cubicles like you see in an office and just created 826 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: a cubicle in the corner of the living room and 827 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 1: I lived there, I think for like a year. I 828 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 1: was like, my son is never gonna have those type experiences, 829 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 1: which I fucking hated at the time. I'm not gonna lie. 830 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it sucked, but it did build a little character. 831 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: And I just think these contraptions. I just remember we've 832 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 1: had a room. There was a crib, and that was 833 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,919 Speaker 1: just kind of my room, and then eventually Jeff came. 834 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: We got me a single bed in the corner, and 835 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: then he just took the crib. I don't remember any contraptions. 836 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 1: I don't remember like thousand dollars strollers, and we just 837 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,359 Speaker 1: I don't remember like rules about blankets and whoops and 838 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: obviously the video monitors. None of that stuff existed. And 839 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 1: we're all just fine. We're all just thriving. Most of 840 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 1: my friends same thing, and we're completely fine. So I 841 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,839 Speaker 1: think the big baby business, which again I don't blame her. 842 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 1: You get pressure. All your friends are buying this stuff. 843 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,399 Speaker 1: You just do it, I guess, but I wonder if 844 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: we took a step back, how much stuff is unnecessary. 845 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: But he's gonna have it all. And you know, potentially 846 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: next Thursday, your boy will have a new son on 847 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 1: the way. What is going on?

Try to go rapid 860 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: fire because I got a lot of questions. I'm gonna 861 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: be answering a lot. I mean, we got it's a 862 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 1: time of year where people are got thoughts, gotta opinions 863 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: and fire in my way, so keep them coming. How 864 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: much stock do you put into hiding play calls and 865 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: coaches hiding the playbook week seventeen or eighteen against inferior opponents? 866 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 1: As a Bronco fan, I hope to God this is 867 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 1: the case, but I can't help but worry that our 868 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,879 Speaker 1: only hope to win a playoff game is a pick 869 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: six and three field goals. It probably varies a little 870 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 1: team to team, you know, Sean, I saw Ben Johnson 871 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 1: say that, like, we were trying to win this game. 872 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: This wasn't just hiding our stuff. We tried to win 873 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: that game, Like we coached all week to win that game. 874 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: And people would be like, well, if they got the two, 875 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: they knew they were playing the Packers, they wouldn't want 876 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: to show anything. I think the counter and I think 877 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,760 Speaker 1: Ben would probably reiterate this. We just had two kitchen 878 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 1: sink games with them within the last month, like at 879 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,800 Speaker 1: this point in time, by by week seventeen eighteen, what 880 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: are you hiding? Like what type plays would you have 881 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: or schemes that you would have You like been holding 882 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,800 Speaker 1: this one for round two? That's that's not really a 883 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 1: football works. I mean you're throwing most of that stuff 884 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 1: during the season. If you got it, obviously you can 885 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: build off that in a playoff game. But I think 886 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 1: that is a little overrated. That's what my gut says 887 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: now in a certain situation, like when you're throwing the game, 888 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 1: like the Eagles, like they clearly didn't care, the Chargers 889 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 1: throwing Trey Lance out there and benching a bunch of starters, 890 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: Like yeah, but like I watched it, look like to 891 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: me the Bears all their starters were out there. I'd 892 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:44,799 Speaker 1: be lying if I said I was that dialed in 893 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 1: on the Broncos game. I know Boden was playing, but like, 894 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 1: we're all your starters playing in that game, you kind 895 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: of cruise. I wouldn't make that much of that game 896 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: in particular, But I do think it's fair to be 897 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: a little nervous going into the playoffs. Do you trust 898 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,240 Speaker 1: this team? It's weird about being a number one seed 899 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 1: and not being that excited. That's what's crazy about the 900 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 1: two number one seeds. If you're Seattle, you're on top 901 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 1: of the moon. If you're Denver, you're like kind of nervous. 902 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 1: I think the best thing you had going for you. 903 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,840 Speaker 1: If you're Denver is the conference is kind of weird. 904 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,360 Speaker 1: But what if in that first game, let's say Chalk holds. 905 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's a decent chance Denver's playing 906 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: the Texans or the Bills. So I mean that's those 907 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 1: are tough, either Josh Allen or the Texans defense. Like, 908 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 1: that's a tough first round matchup. I think if you 909 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 1: could choose any team to play, if you're the Broncos, 910 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 1: you would want Chalk to hold and play the Steelers. 911 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 1: Do you think John Gruden will ever coach in the 912 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 1: NFL again? As a Raider fan, Gruden was the last 913 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,720 Speaker 1: coach that seemed to have a plan. The team improved 914 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,319 Speaker 1: every year and went to the playoffs in his third year. Uh. 915 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 1: I think it was his fourth year and they went 916 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,719 Speaker 1: to the playoffs once they fired him. And that was 917 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 1: also winning the last game of the season. So I 918 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 1: like John from an entertainment stace. He's very entertaining, you know, 919 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: doing his barstool stuff just on the internet. He entertains me. 920 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm very entertained by John Gruden. I do think the 921 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:16,839 Speaker 1: coach John Gruden like the lore, the legend of it all. 922 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,400 Speaker 1: When he was doing Monday Night Football, probably grew to 923 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: disproportionate amounts, and I do think he's a little overrated, 924 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 1: and he's also a terrible evaluator. He's not very good 925 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,239 Speaker 1: in the draft, and he's kind of a power hungery guy. 926 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,359 Speaker 1: So I don't think he's ever working in the NFL. Again, 927 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't, and I'm not even talking about the suing. 928 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: I just don't like who would hire him now, especially 929 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,719 Speaker 1: a lot of these gms like they know he'll try 930 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 1: to get rid of them. Do you think we'll ever 931 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 1: get to the point where a top quarterback prospect refuses 932 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: to play for some of these teams, like the Jets 933 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,280 Speaker 1: or the Browns. Obviously, being drafted high financially changes their lives, 934 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,000 Speaker 1: but over the last twenty years, these organizations are clearly 935 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 1: poorly run. So do you think in any way these 936 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 1: guys start to say no to teams. You do have 937 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 1: to wonder if the nil money like gives him a 938 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 1: little more leverage. If I'm a starting quarterback coming out 939 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,280 Speaker 1: and I've made ten million dollars the last two years, 940 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: it's a little bit different than just having no money 941 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 1: going to the first place is gonna pay you. I 942 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 1: remember the first time I ever got forty grand working 943 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 1: for the Eagles. I was like, I hit the jackpot. 944 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 1: So it's in a lot of college people feel that way. 945 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: Whether you're an athlete or whether you're just a normal kid. 946 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 1: The first time you ever get a paycheck's a big deal. 947 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 1: Now if you're a college quarterback. These guys are making 948 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 1: four or five million dollars a year. Carson Beck. I 949 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 1: think Carson he's a bad example because he's not gonna 950 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: go high. But Carson Beck's made a lot of money 951 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, So I would imagine it's 952 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 1: gonna happen at one point in time because I would 953 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,799 Speaker 1: not play for the Jets. How could you? How could you? 954 00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 1: The Raiders? I like, who's my coach? The Raiders a 955 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 1: little more enticing because like they're just gonna be like, 956 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna have you talk with Tom Brady constantly. I 957 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the draw. And I don't feel 958 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,799 Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoz is doing that question. Have you gotten back 959 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 1: and watched Tyler Shuck's the last six or seven games? 960 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 1: I have a life. The answer is no. I watched 961 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: a lot of them live, though I've watched probably three 962 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,720 Speaker 1: of his last five games three of his last four games. 963 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 1: Where's the question. What impressed me was a situation he 964 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 1: was playing a young, banged up offensive line, handing the 965 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,880 Speaker 1: ball to fourth and string running backs, throwing to a 966 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 1: lave plus replacement level receivers. I know I'm biased, but 967 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,279 Speaker 1: did you view that shuck showed down the stretch given 968 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: the circumstances. I got a text from a guy on 969 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 1: their staff I think after his first start that said, 970 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 1: we got a guy. Obviously got a little bumpy after that, 971 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 1: but down the stretch. The pick against Atlanta was an ideal, 972 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 1: But honestly, if you're you would actually rather lose that 973 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 1: game at that point for draft status. I think he 974 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 1: looks really, really talented. He's got a lot of things 975 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 1: going for him. He's big, he can run, he has touch, 976 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,879 Speaker 1: Like that's the amazing part about him. You look at him, 977 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 1: just you see his physical stature. You think, when people 978 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 1: are hyping him up, you think he's gonna have this 979 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 1: like powerful throw one hundred miles an hour. He's actually, 980 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,360 Speaker 1: to me more of a touch thrower. Not that he 981 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,120 Speaker 1: has a weak arm, but it feels a little goffy. 982 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,439 Speaker 1: I don't know. He just has a lot of touch 983 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 1: on his ball. Very impressed. He's definitely the starting quarterback 984 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:44,680 Speaker 1: next year. Why is it that coaches fall off so 985 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: hard when they get old. Obviously, when players get older, 986 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 1: their body starts to fall apart, but that's not really 987 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 1: a factor for coaches. For instance, what about Pete Carroll 988 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,400 Speaker 1: changed in the last five years that affected his coaching ability? 989 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 1: Just think about humans in your life. Think about my 990 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,720 Speaker 1: dad's been dead for a while, but like when they're 991 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,439 Speaker 1: in their forties or their fifties, how vibrant they are. 992 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 1: And then whether it's your grandpa, whether it's your father, 993 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: whether it's just people in your life that as they 994 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 1: get in their sixties, definitely in their seventies, you just 995 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 1: slow down. You do not have the same juice. And 996 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,919 Speaker 1: peak Carrol's a good example, Like he's healthy, energetic. There 997 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,880 Speaker 1: is no way your pistons upstairs are firing at the 998 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 1: same level combined with your physical energy the same when 999 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,799 Speaker 1: you were fifty eight years old. Like the peak Carrol 1000 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 1: that we saw in twenty thirteen, how could he match 1001 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty five, And he probably tried. He 1002 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,240 Speaker 1: probably in his mind thinks he's doing the best possible, 1003 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,839 Speaker 1: but it can't be the same. It just can't. And 1004 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 1: the other thing I heard, I think, like comedians say this. 1005 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,759 Speaker 1: I forget who it was what I was listening to, 1006 00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: but it was like, that's a really good point. Like 1007 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,879 Speaker 1: think about Belichick in like two thousand and five, when 1008 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,960 Speaker 1: Belichick woke up, when that alarm went off at five 1009 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,359 Speaker 1: point fifteen in the morning or five thirty or five, 1010 00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,120 Speaker 1: whenever the hell he gets up, the first thing that 1011 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 1: crossed his mind was football. Was football, the team. How 1012 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna do whatever schematically or cut a guy or 1013 00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,560 Speaker 1: acquire a guy. And he was excited to get out 1014 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: of bed because he was doing football. There is no 1015 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 1: way those guys, Pete Bill, when that alarm goes off, 1016 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,319 Speaker 1: their fire for football is the same. It's seventy five 1017 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,440 Speaker 1: years old, with all that money in the bank. I 1018 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 1: just don't believe it. I don't believe especially when like 1019 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 1: what are you? I'm not trying to prove something that 1020 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 1: I already haven't done. So like Jim Harbaugh, for example, 1021 00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 1: Jim Harball's made a ton of money and is well 1022 00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,319 Speaker 1: established now. Jim Harbaugh is a really good coach, but 1023 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,759 Speaker 1: he's in the NFL now, and it's like, can the 1024 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,680 Speaker 1: guy win the Super Bowl. So every single day when 1025 00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh's alarm goes off, like I want to win 1026 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,759 Speaker 1: the super Bowl, Kyle Shanahan to, I want to win 1027 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,920 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. A lot of these guys like I 1028 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:18,799 Speaker 1: want to be a super Bowl winner. And I just 1029 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,480 Speaker 1: think that that drive is something that these guys when 1030 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,759 Speaker 1: they get in their seventies, I'm sorry, they just I 1031 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: don't believe they have it anymore. I don't just I've 1032 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,880 Speaker 1: known people that very successful, like multi millionaire business owners 1033 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: that know people that work for them. They're like, yeah, 1034 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,120 Speaker 1: some weeks they just don't see him, or ten years ago, 1035 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 1: it's like he was in the office every single day. 1036 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,480 Speaker 1: You get a little older, you get a little more perspective, 1037 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,840 Speaker 1: maybe get grandkids, Maybe you just don't care as much anymore. 1038 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: It's called life. So I think it's less about like 1039 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,399 Speaker 1: does Pete know how to run a team meeting? Does 1040 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:59,200 Speaker 1: Pete know what defense is good against X, Y and 1041 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 1: Z offensive goals? The same with Bill Belichick. Yes, do 1042 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,840 Speaker 1: I think those guys could talk football or Nick Saban 1043 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,440 Speaker 1: at seventy four years old with anybody right now? Of course, 1044 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 1: part of the reason Nick Saban retired and clearly if 1045 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 1: you look at him, he ain't coming back. Life's too good. 1046 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: It's funny like when people go, do you ever want 1047 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:18,960 Speaker 1: to go back to the NFL? Do I ever want 1048 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,319 Speaker 1: to go back to the NFL? You fucking out of 1049 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 1: your mind? No, My life's took great. Plus I didn't like. 1050 00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 1: The one thing I'll never forget, and this is what 1051 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: Coach Reid has at the highest levels. His passion for 1052 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,799 Speaker 1: football and people that I know, a bunch of people 1053 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,360 Speaker 1: that work for the cheese, I'll never forget. After he 1054 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 1: won his first Super Bowl, maybe it was the second 1055 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 1: super Bowl, it would have been twenty twenty two. I 1056 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,239 Speaker 1: was at the combine and one of my buddies on 1057 00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,319 Speaker 1: the staff, we were bs, and he's like, you know, 1058 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,439 Speaker 1: it's crazy. You just Coach Reed's car in the off 1059 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:55,359 Speaker 1: season Saturday at the office. He just loves it. He's 1060 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,799 Speaker 1: just addicted. One day maybe he won't be the same. 1061 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,760 Speaker 1: But as long as you have that pure addiction going, 1062 00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: and you know, I think there's an age limit where 1063 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's it's hard once you get over seventy. 1064 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,279 Speaker 1: I think I just think it is when you're going 1065 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:15,160 Speaker 1: against the Kevin o'connells and mcfay's and Mike McDonald's and Kyle's. 1066 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,560 Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys are in fifty Frabel's fifty. 1067 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 1: They just have more energy than you. They just have 1068 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 1: more stamina. If you're the owner of the GM of 1069 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, what are you doing with Todd There's a 1070 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 1: real argument, depending on the Falcons hire, that he could 1071 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 1: be the worst head coach in the worst division in football. 1072 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 1: He's better than Canalis, Like, you can't put Canalis above him. 1073 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 1: Canal is called a flea flicker in the rain made 1074 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs at eighty nine. Todd Bowles, Like Todd Bowles 1075 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:55,080 Speaker 1: is a big time defensive coach. I know his defense 1076 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 1: sucks now, but he knows defense. Todd Bowle is a 1077 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 1: good coach. If there was an option for an offensive 1078 00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,479 Speaker 1: stud I think you would fire him and hire that guy. 1079 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,440 Speaker 1: I just don't think that guy exists. I think if 1080 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 1: they had a good replacement, they would fire Todd Bowles 1081 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,920 Speaker 1: and replace them. But I just don't think that guy exists. 1082 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,080 Speaker 1: So I think it's easy to say fire him, and 1083 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,120 Speaker 1: I get it if you're a Buccaneers fan, But I 1084 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 1: just don't see who the replacement is obviously, if you 1085 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 1: could have a redo, you would. It's clear what you 1086 00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:29,600 Speaker 1: would do. Uh Liam, you're in the big room. Todd, 1087 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 1: we love you, but you gots to go. But you 1088 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 1: didn't do that, And now look at the options. Is 1089 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,360 Speaker 1: it a hot take to say the Bears are actually 1090 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 1: the worst team in the NFC North. They have the 1091 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 1: fourth place schedule. Uh No, I mean, come on, guys. 1092 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:05,080 Speaker 1: They won the division. They armed it. I this is 1093 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 1: a bottom line business. I think that division is actually 1094 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,880 Speaker 1: much closer. I mean the Bears easily could have lost 1095 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:16,920 Speaker 1: the Packers twice. Obviously, the Lions beat him twice, they 1096 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 1: beat Minnesota. They lost to Minnesota week one, So what 1097 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 1: was a divisional record? Three and three? That division is tough, man. 1098 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 1: It is the Lions. I mean, let's face it, If 1099 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 1: the Lions play the Panthers tomorrow, who picking Lions are good? 1100 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,360 Speaker 1: If the Vikings just had decent quarterback play, like, they're 1101 00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:42,040 Speaker 1: pretty good too. And obviously the Packers went healthier Super 1102 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 1: Bowl contender. We've seen offenses run more heavy sets this season, 1103 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 1: and it seems like more good teams have three quality 1104 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 1: tight ends on their roster. The Rams miss Higbee for 1105 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,240 Speaker 1: six weeks and still at three dudes Knox Kinkaid and 1106 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo Comet in Loveland, Chicago. From a scouting draft perspective, 1107 00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 1: are there just more athletes that have that skill set? 1108 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Seems like there are plenty of six to five white 1109 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:07,760 Speaker 1: guys out there that can run and block. With the 1110 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 1: amount of good players in college in the NFL will 1111 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,919 Speaker 1: be a devaluation of the position in terms of draft 1112 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 1: capital needed to acquire good tight end play. I think 1113 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:20,000 Speaker 1: part of it is tight ends are a much bigger 1114 01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,680 Speaker 1: mismatch than just your run of the mill wide receiver 1115 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 1: because if I get Cole Kmet or Loveland, who's covering 1116 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 1: that guy on the other team? My tight end is 1117 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,480 Speaker 1: six four six' five can. Run look At comet's the 1118 01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 1: two point conversion. Catch he, had the body, type the 1119 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 1: red zone. Ability they're like basketball. Players so safeties aren't big. 1120 01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,919 Speaker 1: Enough corners while they're fast, enough there don't weigh. Enough 1121 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 1: it's just a physical. Mismatch so you see a lot 1122 01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,960 Speaker 1: of these teams utilizing the tight end way more because 1123 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,200 Speaker 1: especially if a guy can, block it helps the run, 1124 01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 1: game and in the past game like they just can't 1125 01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 1: cover those. Guys SO i THINK i think that's. It 1126 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:05,800 Speaker 1: you just have these athletic tight ends that are six 1127 01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,840 Speaker 1: three to six five that you can have a lot 1128 01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:13,920 Speaker 1: of personnel or formation. VERSATILITY i think that's a big. 1129 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 1: KEY i haven't looked at the draft class this year 1130 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,920 Speaker 1: of how many good tight ends there, are but there 1131 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,160 Speaker 1: are just a lot of good tight ends come in 1132 01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,040 Speaker 1: the league over the course of the LAST i don't, know, 1133 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 1: decade even just random Guy Ko komet's a good. Example 1134 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 1: he's just, solid you, know you, Know, Bowers, Loveland. WARREN i, 1135 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,320 Speaker 1: mean like high end tight ends are coming in the. 1136 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:40,360 Speaker 1: League last night In lamar's press, conference he, SAID i 1137 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,400 Speaker 1: don't know what else we could do to win after 1138 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,560 Speaker 1: putting the season on the line with a young, Kicker 1139 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 1: how do you think the ravens On lamar can go? 1140 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 1: Forward especially with the other elite quarterbacks Like josh seemingly 1141 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,440 Speaker 1: running past. HIM i wouldn't say they were running past. 1142 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,000 Speaker 1: Him lamar just seen to stay on the. Field he's 1143 01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 1: one of the best players in the. LEAGUE i would 1144 01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 1: agree with.

PHILLY i 1275 01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 1: actually don't even think it's close because of the disadvantage 1276 01:08:56,040 --> 01:09:00,040 Speaker 1: the forty nine. Ers they don't have, players so and 1277 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,240 Speaker 1: This eagles, team, like why can't we win THE?

THINKING i think there's a lot of 1280 01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,679 Speaker 1: pressure on The. Eagles their defense is gonna be, fine 1281 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:15,719 Speaker 1: but offensively if you can't score, points And washington's probably 1282 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: as shitty as the forty nine ers on. Defense to, 1283 01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:20,840 Speaker 1: me The, eagles especially if it's not, raining if it's just, 1284 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:25,360 Speaker 1: cold the minimum should be like twenty five twenty six points. 1285 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: MINIMUM i think you should be able to get thirty 1286 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:32,559 Speaker 1: against The. Niners that's what was crazy About. Seattle that's 1287 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:34,200 Speaker 1: why the game felt like such a Blood it felt 1288 01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 1: like thirty three missed a couple of field. Goals they 1289 01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 1: went forward on a fourth down at the one yard. 1290 01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:43,280 Speaker 1: LINE i mean it easily could have been ten more. 1291 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 1: Point it could have been twenty six to. Three that's 1292 01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:49,280 Speaker 1: what the game felt.

Fine Kyle, 1306 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,640 Speaker 1: shanahan Like Mac, JONES i can just win games With Mac. 1307 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:43,559 Speaker 1: Jones kevin, O'Connell Sam, Donald you, know so you don't 1308 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,040 Speaker 1: Think Andy reid would just Sign Sam donald if he 1309 01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,000 Speaker 1: didn't have a quarterback or something like. That, yeah that 1310 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 1: was my point where other coaches like that's where the 1311 01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:56,080 Speaker 1: knock on the defensive guys like Can Mike tomlin say the? 1312 01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:00,599 Speaker 1: Same Could Dan quinn say the? Same Could John harbaugh 1313 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,120 Speaker 1: say the? Same John harbaugh was about to get fired 1314 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:07,920 Speaker 1: until they bench flack one With lamar if someone else 1315 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 1: had Drafted Lamar, jackson because remember they took a guy 1316 01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 1: ahead Of Lamar, Jackson Hayden, HURST i, think and they 1317 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:17,479 Speaker 1: just drafted some random, Quarterback John harball would not be 1318 01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,719 Speaker 1: all the ravens. Now Lamar jackson Saved John harbaugh's raven. 1319 01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:24,719 Speaker 1: Career now he would have got another, job for. Sure 1320 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:29,400 Speaker 1: but my point is that certain, coaches if they just 1321 01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:31,720 Speaker 1: had no quarterback in an, OFFSEASON i think they could 1322 01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:35,920 Speaker 1: figure it out and find just some credibility. There, now 1323 01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:40,080 Speaker 1: obviously the guy wouldn't be as good As, mahomes but 1324 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,240 Speaker 1: and he's proven. It he's won games with all sorts 1325 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:48,040 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks over the. Years that was my. Point and 1326 01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:49,880 Speaker 1: DO i Believe Josh allen's the best player in THE 1327 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,920 Speaker 1: nfl in twenty twenty. FIVE i. Do, Obviously Patrick mahomes 1328 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,280 Speaker 1: at times been the best. Player Lamar jackson's been the best. 1329 01:11:56,280 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 1: PLAYER i was thinking, like who was the best player 1330 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,760 Speaker 1: in THE nfl this year because there's been a lot of, 1331 01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,080 Speaker 1: arguments AND i don't really have a strong opinion on THE. 1332 01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:08,439 Speaker 1: MVP i don't really, care especially in a year like, 1333 01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,120 Speaker 1: this could you make the argument That pooka And akua 1334 01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 1: was THE mvp the. LEAGUE i feel Like Pooka nakula 1335 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,120 Speaker 1: was the best PLAYER i watched in THE nfl start to. 1336 01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,960 Speaker 1: Finish it feels Like stafford's gonna win. It Maybe drake. 1337 01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,519 Speaker 1: MAYWINS i don't, know BUT i feel like Pokin akua 1338 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,200 Speaker 1: is THE mvp the. LEAGUE i feel like he's best 1339 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,680 Speaker 1: player in the. LEAGUE i feel like this year he. 1340 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:31,960 Speaker 1: Dominated it wasn't even a fair Fight Jackson. SMITH i 1341 01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 1: mean there were times where we thought, like is this 1342 01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:35,680 Speaker 1: the best player in the. League that's the thing with THE, 1343 01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:37,639 Speaker 1: mvp it's like The. Heisman we don't even talk about 1344 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,519 Speaker 1: Other it's got to be a. Quarterback just got to 1345 01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 1: be a, quarterback which we all agree quarterback is the 1346 01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:47,439 Speaker 1: most important. Position BUT i don't, know can any other 1347 01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:51,320 Speaker 1: position win the? Award can any other position just be 1348 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,840 Speaker 1: in the conversation to win the? Award why does no 1349 01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:55,920 Speaker 1: one even talk, about, like Could pucka win the? Award 1350 01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 1: it doesn't even come.
