1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast, Never slide into the d M. 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 1: We'll come to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. 3 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: My name is Dan Kansas, and I am joined in 4 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and 5 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal. What is up boys? Hey? Dan Um, I 6 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: just want to bring up something and I brought it 7 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: up at the end of our Twitter show earlier this week, 8 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: but I thought on this platform it should come up 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: again cause I think it deserves to be amplified. We 10 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: were prepping the show um our previous podcast and and 11 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: Greg got a text on his phone going back to 12 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: this and uh, he looked at it and his It 13 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: was his wonderful wife, Amica, who um let him know 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: that there was a vagrant on the front stoop of 15 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: their house and Evaka was alone at home. Gregg processed 16 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: it and said we'll call the police, and said she 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: didn't want to go down that road. I didn't say 18 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: that and then and then the light bulb went off 19 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: above Greg's head, because what I think you realized at 20 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: that moment, Greg, was that she don't want to call 21 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: the police because she decided to throw up the bat 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: signal she was living for a hero. She's got a 23 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: real man. She threw up the bat signal for Greg. 24 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: But I just don't think this isn't the greatest example 25 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: Fred Fred's there at the back. I don't even know 26 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: if it's the greatest example of me like that, So 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 1: you seem to make it out to be. When Greg 28 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: not realized that the bat signal was out, there was 29 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: no hesitation. This was like the opposite of her. Remember 30 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: after the horrible nine eleven terrorist attacks, George W. Bush 31 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: in the classroom reading My Pet Goat, and he sat 32 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: there and he sat there, and he sat there and 33 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: he didn't He was not decisive and missed criticism for that. 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,639 Speaker 1: Not Greg. Immediately he rose to his feet. He said, guys, 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: I'll be back. I gotta go see about a girl. 36 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: I gotta check in in my old lady. And now 37 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: you're that's just a movie line. And he started walking 38 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: out of the news room and then he got a 39 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: text and um, the bum left. Well, that's the thing. 40 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: It would have been a great story if I went 41 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: back home and and did what I intended, which was 42 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: to ask, you know, very nicely for him to leave. 43 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, he had left. Oh, that would have been 44 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: a delicious encounter. Um stay there, oh quite a bit. Yes. 45 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: That was my first task when I did arrive home 46 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: was to bring the kids around the side so they 47 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: couldn't see the tons of empty beer cans, um like 48 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: three or four uh, some fruit and open fruit thing 49 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: container from Vans, some apple sauce seating healthy, multiple women's 50 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: razors huh like that you would shave your legs with. 51 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: And then some prepaid visa cards that were unopened, like 52 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: two dollar. It was. It was a whole thing, and 53 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: I had to pick You know, this man's an enigma. 54 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: It was troubling. I just want to put it out 55 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: there that I saw Gregg walking out of the newsroom 56 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: when his phone blew up again before he sat down. 57 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: So what did he do? I mean, the cards didn't 58 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: even work. He walked out of the news room and 59 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: he was on his way to his car to confront 60 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: this bumm. It was a thought. I guess if Yeah, 61 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: you were on your way too. I learned something about you, 62 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: Rob Magnifico. Yeah, in the reverse. I learned that Greg 63 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: was not gonna rely on law enforcement or just putting 64 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: his phone down and not looking at it again. He 65 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: was gonna go take care of business. He was gonna 66 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: fight for the honor of his wife. Did she thank you? 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: I hope that you know she could beat you very 68 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: well when you came home, knowing what your intentions was 69 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: going to be. She appreciated me picking up all the stuff, 70 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: but no, I think she was more still holding it 71 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: against me that I moved here to Los Angeles. It's 72 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: like a five year long it's quite a grudge. Do 73 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: you want to do you want to share the one 74 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: text that she sent, Yeah, she just said last stop 75 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: podcast is almost over and it's current iteration.

How about that? 80 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: That's nice that you can get on NFL dot com 81 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: slash handss uh. Taking a look at some of the 82 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: teams that are Hard Knocks eligible a k A. They 83 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: can't stop the NFL if they picked them. It's usually 84 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: how they end up picking the team. Just kind of 85 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: funny when you think about it. Um, and we'll go 86 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,119 Speaker 1: through the best options for the fourteenth season of Hard Knocks. Uh, 87 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: if we have time, we're gonna hit the mail bag. 88 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: But first let us do some news. Is that you 89 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: and Bob Dylan, who's the old lady? That's smart old? 90 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: A lot of old lady buzz off the Wednesday podcast, 91 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: A lot of controversy. I maintain that the old lady 92 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: is the mother despite all evidence and definitions, and uh, 93 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: mother or wife it could be used interchangeably. Some people say, no, 94 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: it is only in reference to your wife. But it 95 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: is important to know that you never say you never 96 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: call your wife the old lady to her face. No, no, no, 97 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: not in front of her. This is more something that 98 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: happens at the tavern. It also happens in I don't do. 99 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: This also happens in seven not today. I do call 100 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: Keith the old man sometimes term entirely. Did we discuss this? 101 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: A man is not does not be an older man 102 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: who's your father does not care about being called old. 103 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: Good luck calling your mom old lady. Let's see how 104 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: far that would you call your mother? That the whole 105 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: thing's began because I was appalled by the idea that 106 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: that was even a thing to you. All right, let's 107 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: start the news. It's not a thing to me, it's 108 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: a thing. No, it's a thing to you. NFL Networks 109 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: Mike Aara Folo, friend of the show. We've had him 110 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: on here. It's a good guy, Jersey guy. He's a 111 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: he's a real dude. He reports that Nick Foles and 112 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: the Jaguars have quote moot mutual interest and um, West, 113 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: this is not a surprise. Uh, and well, this is 114 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: the first time we're seeing it out there as a 115 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: report that this is two sides are interested in each other. 116 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they be the Jaguars? They they need a quarterback. 117 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: The Blake Bortle's experiment did not work. Nick Foles wants 118 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: a steady starting job, been getting paid like a star quarterback. 119 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: It feels like a perfect fit. What could get in 120 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: the way? Uh, maybe another team interest but Eagles, maybe 121 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: they can mess this up. I would feel like that 122 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars have to be the heavy, heavy favorites here. 123 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: And you know, maybe Nick Foles ends up overpaid. But 124 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't you rather overpay Nick Foles than Blake Bortles? This team, 125 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: the defense is ready to win. Now, don't waste your window. 126 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: Go get a quarterback. Yeah, you when you're trying to 127 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: come up with where he could go, and if the 128 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: Eagles are really gonna tag and trade Nick Foles, which 129 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: first of all is complicated ProFootball that has really been 130 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, sounding this alarm that that's illegal, that that's 131 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: goes against what the whole point of the tag is 132 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: supposed to be. It's ben't the Patriots trade do that 133 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: with Matt Castle. It's written in there and what it says, 134 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: yes and yes, so they there's some vagary with how 135 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: the laws applied or the rules applied, but it says 136 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: you you need to only have him on your roster 137 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: if you have a real intent to keep him on 138 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: your period. So if if they have to sign, like 139 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: he refuses to sign until the minute when they actually 140 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: have a trade, I don't know. It's just confusing. My 141 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: point is, I don't know if they do trade him, 142 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: where they going to trade them. They don't want to 143 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: trade him to the Redskins or the Giants. Where else 144 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: is there? It's the Dolphins is kind of the one 145 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: other team to me that could make some sense. Well, 146 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: and they're in people writing for around that team say 147 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: that Sammy's not going after Nick Foles or anymore. Like 148 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: it's a very weird year because every other year we've 149 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: done this show and hit free agency, there are a 150 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: fleet of teams looking for quarterbacks. It's just not the case. 151 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: And I've heard some talk that don't assume. Don't assume 152 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are gonna get him just because of d Filippo. 153 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: I'm not really sure why, but maybe they're just kind 154 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: of putting that out there to to keep his value low. 155 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: In other news, this is an addie. Bengals still looking 156 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: for a defensive coordinator. Todd Grantham. Thank you, Todd Grantham. 157 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: He's decided to remain in Florida's their d C. Uh. 158 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: He was offered a multimillion dollar uh offer uh deal 159 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: to become the Cincinnati d C, but he decided to 160 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: stay in college and uh. Grantham does have a lot 161 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: of NFL history, including with your Brownies Mark about a 162 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: decade ago. Uh. However, he's staying in school. UH, And 163 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: we're staying at school and West you're um former love 164 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. They're trying to restart, they're trying to 165 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: move in a different direction. But this it feels like 166 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: a bit of a slow process right now. Yeah, And 167 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: the Bengals then turned their attention to Saints secondary coach 168 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: Aaron Glen and rap Sheet reported right before we went 169 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: on air the Saints are planning to block the Bengals 170 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: from interviewing. You know, Glenn, I think that Dan Hanss 171 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: could get the job right now if he really moved. 172 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Bucky Brooks, he just took a job high 173 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: school high school job coach left he I know he 174 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: has for a playing experience and scouting experience and all that, 175 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: but he also has an NFL media employee. I feel 176 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: like we should throw our hats in the ring. I 177 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: do want a good Yeah, what is being said to 178 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: all these candidates behind closed doors? Because when you've been 179 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: turned down by Jack del Rio and Dom Capers and 180 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: now Todd Granted, like you get them into the building 181 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: for a first and second interview and then it all 182 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: goes hey wire. What is the discourse there? Well, the Bengals, 183 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, have a long history of maybe not having 184 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: the best reputation around the NFL. That was certainly pre 185 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis where it was at a highs. But now 186 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis is not there anymore. And this is the 187 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: risk kind of having to wait. First of all, choosing 188 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: a guy like Zach Taylor who hasn't really run a 189 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: team at all or anything close. I mean, this guy 190 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,119 Speaker 1: was the assistant wide receivers coach in two thousand seventeen. 191 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: It wasn't even the main wide receivers coach. It was 192 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: the assistant wide receiversis right, so he he doesn't have 193 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: a lot of experience. He had to wait till he 194 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: was done with the Super Bowl. He was a QB 195 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: coach with the Rams. He's young, doesn't have a lot 196 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: of contacts in the league, and I think you're seeing 197 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: like some of the repercussions of that. Maybe that's why 198 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: Mike Brown never made any coaching change for like two decades, 199 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: so he didn't want to deal with all this malarkey 200 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: because nobody would take the job. That's just annoying to 201 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: try to find all these new coaches. Just keep the 202 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: same guy. Not a bad idea. Actually, I know he's 203 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,599 Speaker 1: done mostly offense, but he's been in the league. He 204 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: said Rex Ryan. I think with that actually is almost 205 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: like a match of why wouldn't he want to do that? 206 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: If he If it's true that he wanted the chief's job, 207 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: which he did not get obviously, get back in the 208 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: door and and coach up that day. Well, I think 209 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: he'd take it in a second. I believe Rob Bryan 210 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: s meant some time at the University of Cincinnati coaching. Interesting. UM, 211 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: tenuous connection there. Here's a little bit of an interesting 212 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: it's it's fine, it's you know. Mid mid February, um 213 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Signed a huge deal to remain with 214 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: the Giants last year. But is he going to stay there? 215 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: The athletics J Glazer, Uh, you know, it's this time 216 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: of year again. Mid February, he had some time a 217 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: mail bag or something, but he made a bold prediction. Glazer, 218 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: for what it's worth, is one of those guys that's 219 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: very plugged in, uh to the league. Uh. He threw 220 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: it out there that the Giants would trade Odell Beckham 221 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: this offseason. And because this is two thousand nineteen, mark 222 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: the Uh. Then everyone immediately checks into Odell's social media 223 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: and there were two face emojis, and people put a 224 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: lot into that. I I can't maybe you know, I'm 225 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: getting old. I don't. I don't know what the two 226 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: face emojis meant, but people took that to me and 227 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: he was kind of like, whatever, let's let's let's party. 228 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: I like that Dan is as our resident mail bag author. 229 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: You refer to Jay Glazer's mailbag as some sort of 230 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: mail bag. There's only one mail bag is NFL dot 231 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: com slash answer. My question would be because if this 232 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: is true, you know, if he's hearing anything, Number one 233 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: would be a total about face Forgettman, who gave him 234 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: that contract and has insisted over and over we're not 235 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: moving Odell Beckham. You have this sort of top heavy 236 00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: offense based around stars, and if you removed him your identity, 237 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: he is really lacking on that offense in general. But also, 238 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: who is it out there that glazers, you know, in 239 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: his little his whispers, who's mentioning the team? What team 240 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: is that that's going to go after Odell Beckham? I 241 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: think I'm not saying that. I just wonder which one. 242 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: You know. It's interesting and I know, um, uh, Antonio 243 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: Brown and Odell Beckham, you could argue are to the 244 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: top three wide receivers in the league. Uh, if you want. 245 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: I wonder if the Giants are tracking this Antonio Brown situation. 246 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: What type of market he has and if they would 247 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: think about it, because I will say, like, he's an 248 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: incredible player, Beckham, uh, but he seems just to be 249 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: kind of a pain in the ass. And I wonder 250 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: if the Giants are already kind of if they've had 251 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: their full after four years? What are we talking about here? 252 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: Though he's great, he's a great player, and more importantly, 253 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: they just signed them to that huge contract. If they 254 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: got rid of it, they would here's why thirty five 255 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: million dollars in dead money to cut him or to 256 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: trade him, That's what I'm saying. I mean, it's like 257 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't financially, it would crush you financially and you'd 258 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: be losing one of your best players. So I've just 259 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: mean this point year, it just seems crazy. But I 260 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: think Dan, you're smart to point out this didn't come from, 261 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: you know, a random newspaper. Glazer absolutely is saying this 262 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: for a reason, and I'm amazed about his context here. 263 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: Jake Glazer is not reporting this. He was asked give 264 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: us a bold prediction, right, and that's the one he showed. 265 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. He he knows fifty billion different 266 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: little things that he never talks about he I don't 267 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: think he's throwing that out there in a vacuum. I 268 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: think he's throwing that out there because he's heard some 269 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: things that actually, this is not totally off the table, 270 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I wonder if the Giants 271 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: have a year later, after having and hauling a little 272 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: bit about whether they wanted to give him the big deal, 273 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: they give him the big money, they go three and 274 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: thirteen or four and twelve, whatever it was. He's hurt again. 275 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: And if you look at his uh, his track record now, 276 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: he's missed a quarter of the season in almost every 277 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: year he's played except for one. Now, I wonder if 278 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: they're like, is this guy worth the trouble? And maybe 279 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: this doesn't make sense wild I want to correct myself 280 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: because the financials are different on a trade than a cut. 281 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: It would be twenty one million dollars in dead money 282 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: on your cap, not thirty one. But that's still a 283 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: massive amount to get rid of. My one thing is, 284 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: unless he's a raging headache to a degree that we 285 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: don't know about behind the scenes, you trade don't know 286 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: about him, You get what a first round pick and 287 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more. Good luck drafting anyone in 288 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: the first round who's his talent as as Zodell Beckham. 289 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: It's a it's like you want to step back that 290 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: that's that's the thing. It would be like anybody has 291 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: talented than just talent involved with this personality. It's and 292 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: I can't set them wanting to rebuild. Like if you 293 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: did that, it almost seems like you're not trying to 294 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: win as hard this year. And it's just a strange spot. 295 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: Other transactions A little transaction talk right to you up 296 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: on this. The Niners declined pr Garzon's two thousand nineteen option, 297 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: so wide receiver, Uh that maybe a little shine is 298 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: off the last couple of years, but he enters a 299 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver market that's not too hot, and the Chargers decline, Uh, 300 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: Corey Legits option, so uh, interior tackle will hit the 301 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: market as well. Allegiate might be a guy that they 302 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: try to bring back. There. In a weird spot, their 303 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: top four defensive tackles are all off the roster. They 304 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: essentially don't have a defensive tackle position, so that that's 305 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: where you get in trouble and free agency when you 306 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: suddenly have to replace four guys. He's coming off a 307 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: torn and quad muscle, which is a pretty major injury. Yeah, 308 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: and Garon Garson is one of the initial class that 309 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: John Lynch signed in free agency, and I think Malcolm 310 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: Smith is another that's gonna get cut over the next week. 311 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: And that class did not do well, and people saying 312 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: the Niners should not go after Antonio Brown because of 313 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: his age combined with where they are in terms of 314 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: being a contender, not quite yet. They have one wide 315 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: receiver that caught more than thirty passes last year, Like 316 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: they they need more weapons on offense. You've got a 317 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: great tight end and George Kittle it they haven't. They 318 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: are shallow at wide receiver. For what it's worth. Chargers 319 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: GM Tom Tolesco said the doors open to bring back 320 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: um Jet. So I just gotta report reporting that. Hey, 321 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: one other thing, Greg, I thought you would be interested 322 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: in this. There was a report out there, uh in 323 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: the sports business journal respected outlet Berry that the NFL 324 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: is leaning toward having the Bears host the Packers for 325 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: next season's opening kickoff game on Thursday, September five. According 326 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: to multiple sources, this line finds up with the you're 327 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: so mad right now the league one season celebration. This 328 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: is NFL one hundred. It's a massive initiative inside our company. 329 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: And the Bears and Packers are the two oldest teams, 330 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: they played a hundred ninety eight times, and they would 331 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: instead have the Paths play. Greg'sn't even listen. He's searching 332 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: right now finding more information. The Pats would then play 333 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: the Sunday night opener of week one, so close out 334 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: Sunday of Week one. I like this, Uh does this? 335 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: Does this? As a Patriots fan? And Ricky, I'd love 336 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: to hear you on this, do you there's this smack 337 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,239 Speaker 1: of disrespect that one of the spoils of winning the 338 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: titles you get to open the season and the Pats 339 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: might not have that opportunity. No, not to me, because 340 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: I think that's it's a little stressful. And they had 341 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: already reported that it would be the Chiefs and that 342 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: the last team I wanted as a Pats fancy in 343 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: Week one is the Chiefs. Now, maybe it'll still be 344 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: the Chiefs on Sunday night football on Sunday, and then 345 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: you know, you don't get that little extra couple of 346 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: days off after Week one. But it's not a big deal. 347 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: I mean I'm glad to find out that it's because 348 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: of this historical tie versus the ongoing Aaron Rodgers fetish 349 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: that uh nighttime football television seems to have. Because you 350 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: really let us down on Sunday Night last year in 351 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: Week one the guy is born to play in prime time. 352 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: That opening matchup does not excite me, but that's me personally. 353 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: I I really wanted to see the Patriots on that 354 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: opening Thursday, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers against your boy Mitrovisky. 355 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean, that was that was it? That was it 356 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: last year in uh you know, and when we were 357 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: in but that's before Rabisky crossed mark when all those 358 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: guys met in the mobile show room in nineteen twenty. 359 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: The Bears are the only team left. They were the 360 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: Decatur Staley's and they're the only team in the NFL 361 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: left from that show room. They deserved to be highlighted 362 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: in the one year universary. Yeah, I do. And the 363 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: Packers came in the next year after that awesome, awesome nuggles. 364 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: I'm down with it and have like the Bills visit 365 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots Sunday Night something like that. The one thing 366 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: I was gonna say is with the exception of the Cowboys. 367 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: Let me know if I'm wrong, but if my memory 368 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: serves me, except for the Giants in two thousand twelve 369 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, the defending champ has one like ten 370 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: years in a row, so so kind of a gimme 371 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: on your schedule would have been a lay up Thursday. 372 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Chiefs would be I would 373 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: I was secretly hoping for Baker Mayfield verse Tom Brady, 374 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: which just a little personal fantasy instead of getting married 375 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers and Foxboro this year the Bradfts. I'd 376 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: have to look and look into that. But they do 377 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: play each other. I know that. I U maybe is 378 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: there any chance this conspiracy that they're like, I don't know, 379 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: maybe America is a little sick of the Patriots. Gotta 380 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: take them off bad ratings Bowl. That's the first thing 381 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: that went through my head. But then when I read it, 382 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: it makes sense that they we know how this league operates. 383 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: The NFL Super Bowl fifty that was a huge blowout, 384 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: year long celebration. This is the hundredth anniversary, and I 385 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: would guess the Packers Bears has like the longest consecutive 386 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: streak of being on Sunday Night Football. Is there a 387 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: year that they've ever not been on Sunday Night Football? 388 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: This is just like Al Michael's home game. Oh for sure, 389 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the news. Hey guys. Um, we 390 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: talked about at the top of the show situation with 391 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: Greg and what he was able to do. UM as 392 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: a dog adjournal I UM, I reached out and I 393 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: actually tracked down the homeless gentleman. Let's hear from him. 394 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: This is a miss for Greg. This is the boom 395 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: your stupid night out. A message for you, buddy. You're 396 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: gonna meet me in the squared circle of death. And 397 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: by that I mean behind these seven eleven over on 398 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: Motor Avenue. Do not in the front all right behind it. 399 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: They always called the cops on me when I'm in 400 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: the front. All right, I'm gonna see you there. Maybe 401 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: you could bring sandwich or something. I canna agree that 402 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: macho man Randy Savage app that you can just um 403 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: well that on his radar apparently. Yeah. Well this topic 404 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 1: really did. It brought up a real conversation between me 405 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: and Amica, Like you you want to have and you 406 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: try to have sympathy, UM for the homeless population in 407 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: Santa Monica, which is significant. But then you're battling that 408 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: with like, you know, you're worried about your own safety 409 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: and everything else. I think probably, you know, this call 410 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: could have been an example of maybe having a little 411 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: more sympathy for the homeless. Betty Well, I I tracked 412 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: I tracked him down, and I gave him a sandwich 413 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: and gave him a couple of bucks. Pat on the head. 414 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: It's a good look out there in these streets. Yeah, 415 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: how has this turned you into a civic hero? That 416 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 1: is beyond absurd? Uh, Just you gotta look after your 417 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: own We're all in this together ultimately, Mark, Yeah, I 418 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: don't disagree with that theory. That's not what's that's yeah, Okay, 419 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: you know this is all made up, right, Yes, I do. Okay, 420 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: all right, let's get to it hard knocks, all right. 421 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: So season fourteen still a long way away. However, this 422 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: is the time of year where the folks at the 423 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: NFL in conjunction truly NFL Films in conjunction with HBO, 424 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: Home Box Office, Premium cable Giant work together, uh to 425 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: to find a team that they decided to be focusing 426 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: on for five weeks during training camp. It is uh 427 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: and what else needs to be said about a Hard 428 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: Knocks that's the best TV show about football it's ever 429 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: been put out. And every year, um it brings the goods, 430 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: just like last year, Mark with your Cleveland Browns, which 431 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: I would put probably in my top three seasons all time, um, 432 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: for how it took us behind the scenes of of 433 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: Cleveland and and really what we then got to see 434 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: all play out in life once the season started, the 435 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: really the bad blood in the disconnect between Todd Haley 436 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: and Hugh Jackson. That that, to me is when Hard 437 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: Knocks is at its best. Um. The Jet season when 438 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: we got to see the Durrell Reevas negotiations like real news, 439 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: that you get to go behind the scenes and see 440 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: what's going on. Um, so a tough act to follow. 441 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: Um that time that William Hayes, you know, saw the 442 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 1: diet didn't believe in dinosaurs. That's another The RAM season 443 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: that was forgetting there are not every season as a 444 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,719 Speaker 1: home run. The l A RAM season right before they 445 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: got good was probably near the bottom of the barrel. 446 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: I would say, Um, so we're hoping for another good 447 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: season in twenty nineteen. So this is how it works. 448 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: The league about six years ago came up with a 449 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: system um that if you hit any of three different clauses, 450 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: you were excused essentially from being selected for hard knocks. 451 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: And they are the following have a first year head coach, 452 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: a playoff berth in the past two seasons, or appeared 453 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: on hard knocks in the past ten years. There are 454 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: five teams, only five teams that uh don't get excluded 455 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: based on those three parameters. So I will now go 456 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: through them. Um five to one in terms of least attractive, 457 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: too great fit. So here's number five for me and 458 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: you guys, tell me what you think. The Detroit Lions, Um, 459 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: I West chuckle. They won't even show up on time 460 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: for drinking him. Doesn't it feel like we're kind of 461 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: at a weird juncture in history with the lines where 462 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: they were in football hell before the Browns were known 463 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: as the absolute pits of the league, that the Lions 464 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: were that a decade ago. They even had to own 465 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: sixteen first. But now they kind of exist in purgatory. 466 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: They moved up from hell to purgatory. There's just not 467 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: a lot of not to be compelling about this group. 468 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: Don't want to watch him, don't want to read about him, 469 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,239 Speaker 1: don't want to write about him. The Lions could not 470 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: possibly be any more boring. Yeah, I don't know who 471 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: else is on this list yet, but I'm not surprised 472 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: they're at the bottom of it. The only thing that 473 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks does well sometimes though, is take something that 474 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: you think you know about and flip the script. Maybe 475 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: you we would find out something about the lines that 476 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: would be compelling. Ma Patricia makes them more compelling on 477 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: some level, but I feel no HBO in general does not. 478 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: Did you say Patricia makes them more I think he's 479 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: more interesting guy than he gives off, but he also 480 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: has a guy in today. He also gives up a 481 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: vibe like any Belichick disciple that he would fight hard 482 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: against due I think like so, Home Box Office is 483 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: not typically go out of their way to create the 484 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: premium cable dull subject matter, so this would be not 485 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: on their number one radar list, I believe. But remember Greg, 486 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: if you were on this list, you have to but 487 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: they tried. They They're hoping that they find someone that 488 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: you know it wants to do it, which could even 489 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: not be on this list right because sometimes another I 490 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: think The Bucks were an example a few years back. 491 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: They just raise their hands here. Um, I know the 492 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: Jaguar seemed to volunteer every year. You here, and they 493 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: just they're like blowing up the d m s and 494 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: they just don't get a reply. Ever, that's kind of sad. 495 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: It's like I missed your message. Sorry, we already picked someone. Yeah, 496 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: folds would change. I think Cincinnati also volunteered, but I 497 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: think a lot of times it does come from Sinnati. 498 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: Did it twice within a four year period they're available. 499 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: That was when they were struggling to get teams. Um. 500 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: Four is for me the Redskins and and you could 501 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: throw them at five if you want. Greg, I have 502 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: a feeling you would based on your comments on our 503 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: previous show. Uh, there is some intrigue here. Jake Ruden's 504 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: I remember him from the Cincinnati hard Knocks season. He 505 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: was kind of a fun follow what do they do 506 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: with Alex Smith? Uh? And how they play out that 507 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: whole situation. The Redskins are an O. I would put 508 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: them higher only because if they actually did the job 509 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: they normally. Dude, They're an interesting spot here because there 510 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 1: I think at the bottom. I mean, but that that 511 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: means the HB I would never want to pick him. 512 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: The Redskins wouldn't want to do with the NFL, wouldn't 513 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: want to showcase it. I think they're a franchise that 514 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: has some real serious issues, not just Alex Smith, but 515 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: fans and faith among their fans and tickets and stadiums 516 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: like they're they're in a tough spot. They Cruden is 517 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: the one coach though that is on record recently saying 518 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: he did not mind doing it, and he did not 519 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: find it to be interesting, a great distraction. It's not 520 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: something that you're lobbying for, but he would be open 521 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 1: to it. I would only be in West if they 522 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: brought back Rex Grossman and John Beck. Oh yeah, the 523 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: fire for Alc Smith's job was it? Did they bring 524 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: both of them in the same year. And Mike Shanahan said, look, 525 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: what you guys don't know is John Beck can plain. 526 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I believe in them, and I've been doing 527 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: this for a long time, and I put my reputation 528 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: on these guys that they can play one of my 529 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: favorite quotes in NFL media history. Immediately that that, yeah, 530 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: kind of ended Mike Shanahan's career. They they would they 531 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: could have some palace intrigued too. They just hired a 532 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: passing defensive coordinator who you know, They literally had people 533 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: in the building trying to replace their own defensive coordinator, 534 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: Greg Monusky, which is kind of an under the radar story. 535 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: Couldn't find someone they like better, and then they just 536 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: kept him. They're like, oh, no, here, you're fine, but 537 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna hire some some other assistance to maybe take 538 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: your job. Like that, maybe Rob Ryan will take his job. Um, 539 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: now the top three, I feel like there's a big 540 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: separation forty um. In a similar exercise last year, I 541 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: thought they were a great pick um. Uh, and I 542 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: still think they're a great pick um after what was 543 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: a really you want? But they're not at a rock bottom. 544 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: But they're coming off a deeply disappointing year. And you 545 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: have a high draft pick, and you've got the Jimmy 546 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy g drama trying to like get back on track 547 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: after blowing out his knee. But Kyle Shanahan angle, Uh, 548 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: he seems to be an interesting fun guy. Uh and 549 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: he likes rap Gregg. I can imagine the whole like 550 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: seven minutes segment about that. Yes, yeah, So the Niners. 551 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: To me at one of the you know, great NFL 552 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: franchises of your uh, they kind of jumped out. I 553 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't mind watching that. They got Richard Sherman, who was 554 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: a good talker, um, and if they get Antonio Brown, 555 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: they would have to jump up this list. Right. Yes, 556 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: I think that's a great call. It's it's um. I 557 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: think they'd be a great pick. Kyle Sanahan did say 558 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: it's a hard, hard, bad stance when they asked him 559 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: about it. You will see the worst entertainment possible by 560 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: by me and John Lynch also kind of fought against 561 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: so I don't know they seem against it, but their 562 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: owner and that's kind of the one that matters. Seems 563 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: to me like a guy that would maybe want to 564 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: do it to help burnish the reputation of the franchise. 565 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: Let's Stay by the Bay Number two. I got the Raiders, 566 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: Um West. I thought you put it really well last 567 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: week that we're kind of in the dark ages a 568 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: little bit for the Raiders, and to me, that's nothing 569 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: if not compelling. How do you dig yourself out? You 570 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: have John Gruder. I think Ruden and hard knocks are 571 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: kind of have been meant to be together, and this 572 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: is an opportunity for that. And you have the drama 573 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: around where they're playing, and you have the internal situation 574 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: about building the roster, maybe a new quarterback, what's going 575 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: on Derek Carr, the relationship between Car and Gruden, which 576 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: people have a lot of questions about. I'm in Mark, 577 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: you're shaking your head. I don't need it. Yeah, counterpoint, 578 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: this would be too much like the Rams season when 579 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: they so much was about the move and not having 580 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: a home. And I just don't care about that because 581 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: my I think Mike Mayok would be interesting. I'd like 582 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: to see I'd like to see that. I think with 583 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: the Raiders, the for me, I don't want to give 584 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: extra attention to a team that's bolting on their hometown fans. 585 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: I don't mean it, I just don't. It's just to me, 586 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: the wrong season the Raiders in general. That's a good point. 587 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: Another year would be would be interesting, just not that show. 588 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: I was ready to fight against you guys, because are 589 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: you kidding me? The Mark Davis, John Gruden, mac mack 590 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: put it all together. Kind of a crazy franchise. This 591 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: sounds delightful, but I have a market every Monday, for 592 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: ten years. I don't need to know any more. But 593 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: I still I would see more. I still like him. 594 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: I find him fascinating in a booth. This is him 595 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: in his natural But Mark makes a great there is 596 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: That is a great point about awkward it would be. 597 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: I don't think the NFL would want that also, But 598 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: I in this year in particular, I think you'd probably 599 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: be interesting. I'd be all in like Gruden. You might 600 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: think I said I don't want I think Ruden would 601 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: be compelling on the show. There's a mix here. I 602 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: just don't want it to say. I could see it 603 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: happening too. It seems like something that could happen what 604 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't have happened West. I think your fears are 605 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: not um misplaced, But I think the danger would be 606 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: if it was next year, then they would be all 607 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: about the whole Vegas accy. To me, that's interesting, like 608 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: you're you're going that's what the situation was. No, but 609 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: there's never been an NFL team in Vegas. Like to me, 610 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: that angle is kind of interesting. But I think like 611 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: the year when they have a chance to actually be something, 612 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: that would be the year to do it, not this 613 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: year where they're obviously going to be a basement team again. 614 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: Um on number one on my list, and I imagine 615 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: you might not all agree, but as a native New 616 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: Yorker who grew up a Jets fan and always looked 617 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: at the Giants is kind of the big brother and 618 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: the team that does things right. Um, I would love 619 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: to see the Giants on Hard Knocks. And I think 620 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: there's some good, uh interesting players on the roster, and 621 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: I think the end of the Eli Arab being behind 622 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: closed doors to see how that goes, especially if they 623 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: get a rookie in that building, how does that play out? 624 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: And in general, the Giants is one of those great 625 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: original teams of the league. You get the feeling that 626 00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: they're almost above reality television, but they really are, and 627 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: there's no reason why they shouldn't be involved in the show. Please. 628 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Hard Knocks has one more postseason hardware than 629 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: the Giants the last five or six years. Give me 630 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: a break. This is a great it's a great franchise, 631 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks. He should be proud to be a part 632 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: of them. To bro To gets the big man, he's 633 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: O and O and the ands O and one in 634 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: the last six years, it doesn't help that Giants owner 635 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: John Mara in two thousand ten said the team would 636 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: make an appearance on Hard Knocks in quotes when I'm 637 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: next to my father in the gates of Heaven Cemetery 638 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: for real. Really, that's a good quote. That's awesome. So 639 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like they're overly you know, excited about that. Well. 640 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: It is a great test too, because the rule is 641 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: if you do not clear those three tenants, you will 642 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: be picked if they want you. But the Maras are royalty, 643 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: do the is this a real is this a phony 644 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: rule or is it a real rule? We would find 645 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: out if the John's running. I don't think it would 646 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: help Pat Schurmer much um. He was on a five 647 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: week Brown's reality show, which was a low level thing 648 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: on like the Travel Channel, and it did not help. 649 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: It's it was a long time ago. It did not 650 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 1: and for me help much at all with Pat Shermer's reputation. 651 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: And I don't need five weeks of Odell Beckham. I 652 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: used to watch is my one issue. I used to 653 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: watch every you know, NFL related show or reality show. 654 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: It was a big fan of Third and Long uh 655 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: you know by Michael Irvan. I did try watching that 656 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: travel show. About like halfway through the second episode, I 657 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: was like, wait, this is really all about like the 658 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: guy who's just like packing the bags for the play. 659 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: They just spent twenty minutes on how complicated that is 660 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: of like, well, you gotta move the bags up to 661 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: this area. But then it's really tough, like if it's 662 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 1: a night game, you can't get out of the flight. 663 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: That early, I was like, this is boring, this is 664 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: I can't watch that. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mark, 665 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: I think you shot down all five options. I think 666 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: you'll be sitting out hard Knocks the show. But I 667 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: agree with you Dan that the Giants I would. I would. 668 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 1: I would have put the Raiders two and the Giants 669 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 1: one off of that list, So I I totally agree, Yep, 670 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: I would. I these are not one of the five 671 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: teams I would pick if I could pick anyone at all. 672 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: But I can't warm up to them. I think they 673 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: could go off the board. You don't have to, I don't. 674 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: It's certainly possible that the that the Jags a team 675 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,439 Speaker 1: like the Jags volunteers or or they or some other 676 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: team that would be the Jags will volunteer. It just 677 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: a matter. If the phone is picked up and it 678 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: hasn't been for about five years? Who who else could 679 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: use it? Like, what's an owner that would like want it? 680 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 1: The Chargers, I think would want it. I'm not sure 681 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: if Hard Knocks would totally do it, but I feel 682 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: like the Charge. I'd love to see the Chiefs because 683 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 1: it would be a good one. Chieves would be great West. 684 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: Because of the ongoing headlock watch with the New York Jets, 685 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: people have put together that this would be a good 686 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: year for the Jets to return. According to miniche Meta 687 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: looks get ready to like that um moniche Meta reports 688 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: that Jets are not interested at this time, which I'm 689 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: disappointed about, but I get it. It is because mean, 690 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: you know, a trend because of these rules that you 691 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: just are picking kind of down and out teams. It 692 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: would be great to pick a team that's at the top, 693 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 1: are close to you. Remember the last time they had 694 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: a good team on the show, the Cowboys, We're still 695 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: We're pretty good. There was one, wasn't there one very 696 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: recent year. It was a team kind of like trying 697 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: to get over get over the top, the Viking. Now 698 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: the VI's were coming off an AFC title, game. It's 699 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: like the sas Like, how amazing to me? The Saints 700 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: are like an amazing team to pick going into this year, 701 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 1: especially with really interesting I mean, can you imagine he 702 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: would probably be there, probably a teleprompter around him at 703 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: all times. The Bucks is who I was thinking of, 704 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 1: just because people thought they were going to be good 705 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: that year but they weren't coming off. And I'd like 706 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: the Eagles. Um, Eagles are a good choice. All right, 707 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: here we go. Before we get out of here, a 708 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,720 Speaker 1: couple of male bad questions reached out to the people. 709 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: Which hero hit the Nick shook going away party hardest 710 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: in terms of uh, beverages. Uh, we're all there at 711 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: different times, I feel like, but we were all there. 712 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 1: I would guess that I did. But that doesn't include 713 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: Mark's trip to the bar next door. Well, the bar 714 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: next door had a real Gordon Ramsey reality show based 715 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: around it, so I went to watch it with then 716 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: and stuff. But it was quite amazing. Um, they were 717 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: This is a one of my favorite. It's Boardwalk eleven 718 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: karaoke bar. They were savaged by Gordon Ramsey but came 719 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: out on the winning end. I think in the I 720 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 1: just we had fun. You were like a studio audience. 721 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: I think Westlands I was there, we were I was 722 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: there to the very end pass West actually Thrift straight 723 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: through to the end of the trivia and West and Keisha, 724 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,399 Speaker 1: especially the pair more they were ready to go home. 725 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: Well yeah, Sheook also showed up about an hour after 726 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: it started. She said she had been there for five 727 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: and a half hours. I mean that's no, that's a 728 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,439 Speaker 1: that's a long time she organized. That's a long time. 729 00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 1: Moving on from Malcolm McSweeney, if you could put together 730 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: any announcer and color guy, any erat tot together at 731 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: a call games, who would they be. I love Romo 732 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: and he's he's emerging as a legend. But give me 733 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: some are all and Madden in their primes and I'm 734 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 1: flying time with you. Can we have a three man booth? 735 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: Some are all mad in in Romo. Yeah, fun, that 736 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: would be my dream team. Wow, I love that. What 737 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 1: I'm surprised Tariko isn't involved. I was trying to think 738 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: of play by play guy in my all time game. Yeah, 739 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: I'm going to like Tariko and Romo for right now. 740 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,720 Speaker 1: Would be an amazing thing to witness under the offense 741 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: that Jim Nancy's Ton Criky was a great play by 742 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: play man. I thought, personally, Um in the nineteen eighties, yes, 743 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: like five years ago, when he didn't know any of 744 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: the players, when he was when he was like the 745 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 1: number one NBC team, way back when Um good choice 746 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: nance giving away his tie? Does he still do that 747 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: at March Madness? Because that I don't know, I still 748 00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: hold that against you. That has nothing to do with 749 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: the NFL or anything else. I haven't watched the margin. 750 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 1: How about Terriko Romo and we bring back Dennis Miller 751 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: his name that that booth would be great. They would 752 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: have a lot of fun to get a revisionist history 753 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: about Dennis Miller. He wasn't a disaster, but let's not 754 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: act like he was amazing. Dennis Miller made it fun. 755 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: I thought, Yeah, Dennis Miller was incredible all back down. 756 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: I just got to talk that much. But he'll just 757 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: pop like we'd go crazy Miller. Yeah, I want nineties then, 758 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: not kind of like the guy ran out. I don't know. 759 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 1: I don't need the current version of Dennis Now. How 760 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: does Mark sets from Jordan Lange? How does Mark Sessler 761 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: think the next a Vengers movie will go about restoring 762 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: the heroes who got snapped. They got snapped spoiler. I 763 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: like how you were fingered on that one. They got 764 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of them vanished, And if I were reading 765 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: some of the reviews, I have no idea. Isn't it 766 00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 1: all based off of actual real stories not us pologies? 767 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: I have no no responses this one area where this 768 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: trying with the American populace um. Last question, and actually 769 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 1: this one gave me pause because I actually never thought 770 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: about it. Uh well, everyone always talks about the Bell 771 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: Check Brady era and um uh kind of like who 772 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 1: made who or if it was truly joint effort. And 773 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: Corey Wilson asks, uh, if I could go back to 774 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: the year two thousand, which is when Bill jilted the 775 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: Jets and went to New England, and also when Tom 776 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: Brady was drafted, I believe in the sixth round what 777 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 1: was like one overall it's not really publicized, but if 778 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: you could go back to to she says that Corey 779 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: says the year two thousand. Everyone says the year two thousand. 780 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: By the way, you could just say two thousand. It's 781 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 1: from Conan O'Brien, right, Maybe who would you steal from 782 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots, Bill Belichick or Tom Brady if you could 783 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,439 Speaker 1: only take one, If you go in the time machine West, 784 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: who are you? You only can take one? Who is 785 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: this any team? Basically? Yes? Okay, all right, I just 786 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: hate this question. I'm sorry, Corey Um. You know, check 787 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 1: brought it up last week, and I just find it exhausting. 788 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: But you gotta answer it. Though, I gotta take one. 789 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 1: I don't cut him in half and join him back. 790 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: That's double murder, my friend. They're both the greatest to 791 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 1: do it, so whatever. But if you could only have one, 792 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: who would you take? And you get twenty years? I 793 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: enjoy watching Tom Brady, so I'll choose him this like 794 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: you have your the GM of a team. Okay, there's 795 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: like no context in it. Without any context, I think 796 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: I would take Brady because I think ownership and that 797 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: everything else going on that I don't know anything about 798 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: could ruin it for Belichick more than you could ruin 799 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 1: it for Brady. A little safe having the all time 800 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: greatest quarterback, and I'm sure being with Belichick helped in 801 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: that regard, But I think Brady was gonna be a 802 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame or either way, no matter no matter 803 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: where he ended up. I think he's that special. Give 804 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: me that guy instead of the coach who could get 805 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,319 Speaker 1: sandbag with a bad running would have been a Hall 806 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: of famer no matter where he ended up with a 807 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: second chance, it was the odds where it was going 808 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 1: to go out. But you're right, I'm taking I'm one 809 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: of the people that I liked Belichick when he was 810 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, unlike a lot of the media there, and 811 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: I would take Belichick. Okay, there you go, and West 812 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: would murder them both, not even a hesitation. I don't 813 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: want to give an explanation or no, that's fine. I 814 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,359 Speaker 1: get why you say the way you say the things 815 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: that you say out of your mouth. All right, good show, 816 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: fun show. Uh, we will be back. When are we back? Monday? Right? Okay, 817 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: I will not be here, so best of luck to 818 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: you guys. That's a holiday, right, Happy President's Day. I 819 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 1: don't know why are we coming in? We need to 820 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: all talk about this, I guess.
