31
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: doesn't suck in Scottsdale, and uh, obviously a lot of

32
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: football taxolis dive in. Well, super Bowl week is finally

33
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles at the house that Cronkie paid

34
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: six billion dollars for. And we'll get into the game

35
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: probably deep on on Friday. Just some of the major

36
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: storylines as the week plays out. I mean, I think

37
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,559
Speaker 1: we already know what it is Stafford Burrow McVeigh um,

38
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: but you know, I I gotta take an owl on

39
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: something because when the NFL moved back to Los Angeles.

40
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: Whatever it was now, six years ago, I thought it

41
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: was I thought it was dumb. I didn't think it

42
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: made that much sense um And I was wrong. I

43
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: I really was. Now they've benefited from several things which

44
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: will dive into, but one just haven't been there a

45
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: month ago. That place is remarkable. It's just mc inficent.

46
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: It's stunning. So the building itself is gonna draw people

47
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: just by itself. But I think one thing I got

48
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: to give the NFL a lot of credit on because

49
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: I think it's easy when you're having a lot of success,

50
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: and they started, you know, six years ago they were

51
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: separating from the pack. Right Baseball was dying. Basketball. I

52
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: don't think it's quite fallen off a cliff yet, but

53
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: it was clear there was a gap between the NFL

54
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: and just and every other sport, a wide gap, and

55
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: that gap has only widened. Sense, But the NFL, you're

56
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: either growing or dying. And I think any successful business

57
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: at any level is always looking to push the envelope,

58
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: is always looking forward, not looking behind. And I think

59
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: sometimes as human beings we get caught up like how

60
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: can we just maintain this? And in the sport of football.

61
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: Anyone that's been around it knows. Coaches don't think like that.

62
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: Anyone that's been around a successful businessman or a company

63
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: knows they don't think like that. And the NFL wanted

64
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: in the second biggest market in America. They knew they

65
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: had to be back, and they were lucky that Stan Crocky,

66
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: one of their richest owners, wanted to move back. Now,

67
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: granted he owned a team in Missouri that was stolen

68
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles, but also had the cash because out

69
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: here it's very, very expensive to do this. As I said,

70
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: it cost some six billion dollars. But it's it's been

71
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: a home run. It's been a walk off Grand Slam.

72
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Now they have some things worked in their favor. First

73
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: and foremost would be football in l A. It's always

74
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: been a college town. A lot of people, especially the

75
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: power brokers, just a large percentage of people went to

76
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: USC or u c l A. And those programs since

77
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: the Rams moved back, have sucked. USC has been irrelevant

78
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: u c l A. You know, I mean, they got

79
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: to be really really good to move the needle, and

80
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: both of them are way down. And then the NFL,

81
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: the popularity of it naturally you put a good team there,

82
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: which the Rams immediately became good. Here's the other thing.

83
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: The Rams kind of operated with the mindset that the

84
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: NFL had bold, you know, was were not scared to

85
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: take risks. Think of what they did. They hired a

86
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: thirty one year old kind of a heart throb. But

87
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: it turns out the guy's a star head coach Sean

88
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: McVeigh like, can you imagine they would hire some sixty

89
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: year old meat head. I don't think it works. But

90
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: they hired this young guy with beautiful fiance who's immediately

91
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: kicking everyone's ass. Now he's going back to a second

92
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and whatever five years. It's pretty it's pretty incredible.

93
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: And they have operated a lot like you would have

94
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: to operate to gain the attention of people out here. One.

95
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: They have been very, very aggressive in every move they made,

96
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: and not every move they've made is correct, But over

97
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, trading for Jalen Ramsey, trading

98
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: for Von Miller, trading for Matt Stafford, they kind of

99
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: operated like the Yankees. I know where I live in

100
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: the Bay Area. Now that this important rivalry is bruin

101
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: the Bay Area vers l A, we have it Giants, Dodgers,

102
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: one of the biggest in America. But in football, it

103
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: didn't quite feel right. But then now that you've got

104
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan Sean McVeigh, they just played each other in

105
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship, it feels like l A football is

106
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: a legitimate thing. And the reality is that the NFL

107
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: is so big that if you put it somewhere and

108
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: the team is good, it will immediately be important. And

109
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: I would say the place that it would be hard

110
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: to really penetrate would be Los Angeles. But I read

111
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: today that the NFC Championship game was the highest rated

112
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: game in l A for any sporting event since Game seven,

113
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 1: the l A Lakers in against the Boston Celtics whatever

114
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: a decade ago. Think about that. Now, are the Rams

115
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the Dodgers of the Lakers. They don't have

116
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: the history, and they also disappeared for twenty years. But

117
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: here's what they can do. When you are the biggest

118
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: sport and your team is going to Super Bowls, now

119
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: they gotta win it, probably to really go to another level,

120
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: which I do think they're gonna win their four point favorite.

121
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a lot of money on the Rams

122
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: that they've gained a lot of market share in a

123
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: short period of time. And you can all know these

124
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: l A people, you know the Rams matter the most.

125
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: Check the television ratings. I I just went to the game.

126
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that place is just it really is spectacular.

127
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: And the NFL deserves a lot of credit because as

128
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: a guy that's spent thirty five of his thirty seven

129
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: years in California, I thought it was moronic. And they

130
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: hit home run, and now the super Bowl is gonna

131
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: be the most expensive super Bowl in the history of

132
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: the league. Now part of that is just the California inflation,

133
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: a lot of different factors, the amount of money in

134
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, the celebrity town. But I think this l

135
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: A football thing has been pretty cool. And I have

136
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: even mentioned the Chargers, who have one of the better

137
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: young star quarterbacks in the entire league. So I'm just

138
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 1: excited to watch this game, even though I'll be honest,

139
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals, not that Joe Burrow doesn't do it for me,

140
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: because he does. He might be like the next Joe Montana.

141
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: And the one thing that gives me pause betting on

142
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: the Rams is Joe Burrow. Period point Lane, no one else,

143
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: not even Jamaar Chase, just Joe Burrow. He keeps me

144
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: up at night as a gambler. But you know, the

145
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: brand the Bengals. I mean, it mattered in the eighties.

146
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: It really hasn't matter for the last thirty years. And

147
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to talk ship Bengal fans, but you know,

148
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: I had my heart set on the Chiefs or the Bills,

149
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: and then we got the Bengals. But you might shut

150
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: us all up. You win. At one point time, we

151
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: were saying the same thing about the Brady Belichick Patriots

152
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: back in two thousand one. Maybe you guys become a dynasty.

153
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Who knows. Maybe Joe Burrow is that special. But he's

154
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna get to do it in l A, which will

155
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: probably be We'll see. I don't know if it will

156
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: be the highest rated Super Bowl ever just because of

157
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: the Bengals, but uh, only time we'll tell. Another big

158
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: story today was that Kyler Murray uh scrubbed his Instagram

159
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: and I think Twitter account, but definitely his Instagram. Now,

160
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: I it's hard for me to like psychoanalyze people on

161
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: social media. Personally, I have a love hate relationship with it.

162
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: I detest Twitter. I enjoy Instagram, but I try to

163
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: keep a fair distance now doing what I do for

164
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: a living. You know, you kind of gotta have a presence.

165
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: I do think it's pretty overrated, but especially Twitter, I

166
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: mean a small percentage of society is on it. Now.

167
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: Instagram owned by Facebook, many more people are on that.

168
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: I understand his value. Actually just enjoy Instagram a lot more.

169
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: But I'll say this about Kyler Murray. There is a

170
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: vibe with him that he's like he's an individual in

171
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: a team game. And I started watching Man in the Arena. Uh,

172
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's ESPN Plus It's awesome. I mean, I watched

173
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: two episodes. It's raw, it's authentic, it feels very anti ESPN.

174
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: He's dropping, he's dropping f bombs. It feels like he's

175
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: just being a normal human, just kind of you know,

176
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: documenting his career, you know, talking about different situations. It's

177
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: it's it's freaking awesome. But one thing that Tom really

178
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: hammers home and all of the guys I'm only early

179
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: in the career, you know, Rodney Harris sends the Teddy Bruskies.

180
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: A lot of those guys are talking it was all

181
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: about the team and it was never about Tom's celebrity.

182
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: It was never about him the individual, and part of

183
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: that was what Tom One thing. When you start reading

184
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: and watching these documentaries on like Joe Montana and Tom,

185
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: you understand why they were so successful because the way

186
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: they were raised football wise at their colleges kind of

187
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: embedded their football philosophies as an individual the rest of

188
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: their life and how team came first, especially with Brady

189
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: and I think when you look at Kyler Murray, like

190
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: Kyler was drafted top ten for baseball because he was

191
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: his elite talent. He transferred away from Texas and m

192
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: he kind of has this individual vibe like NBA Major

193
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: League Baseball. Let's face it, those two brands. If you

194
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: play professional baseball or you play in the NBA, it's

195
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: really about you first, Like it's what can I do first?

196
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: You've seen it right now with James Harden and all

197
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: that drama. Baseball is basically an individual game played with

198
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: nine people. But football is the ultimate team game, and

199
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: being the quarterback is the ultimate team position because literally

200
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: everyone's looking at you. You set the tone for the

201
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: organization and his talent, I've said over and over he

202
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: is a freak show. Now he's tiny, but his physical

203
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: gifts of speed, arm, strength, accuracy are awesome. Now, I

204
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: do think he has some just inherent struggles within the pocket,

205
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: not being able to see, which is understandable when you're

206
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: five ft nine, But there's just this vibe with him

207
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: that it's you know, I just I get a weird vibe.

208
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: I just I hate his body language as a player

209
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: and body language. And one thing, I have so many

210
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: brady things going on right now, I'm watching this documentary.

211
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm listening to What's Better to Be Feared? And one

212
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: thing that happened early on in his career, I think

213
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: like after O two because they won the Super Bowl

214
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: and then they missed the playoffs. And one thing, I

215
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: think Belichick or McDaniels or wife, they did a big

216
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: cut up on Tom and they showed it to him.

217
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: I think in the off season about after bad plays

218
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: his body language and how shitty his body language was,

219
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: and how his body language, you know, was something that

220
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: rubbed off on the teammates because again, every single person

221
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 1: is looking at you, and Kyler Murray's body language is

222
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: the worse in the league, for any for any really

223
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: good player. Uh and you do stuff like this, and again,

224
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll come out and be like, we're just

225
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: doing uh, we're just taking it down to start a

226
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: new media campaign or some bullshit. It's just always something.

227
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: Look look at the Super Bowl two number one overall

228
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: picks Matt Stafford and Joe Burrow. Do you know what

229
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: I like in my number one overall pick at quarterback?

230
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: Zero drama? Did I never ever ever have to think

231
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: about anything weird going on? They are the last person

232
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: that I have to worry about. They're the most coachable

233
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: guy on my team, and they're the most natural leaders. Now,

234
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: if you think about Burrow and Stafford, they've kind of

235
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: took and you know, taken you know, much different paths

236
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: to where we're at. Right he goes to the Lions

237
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: and Stafford was just for whatever reason, wasn't good enough coaching.

238
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: What I don't know. We can make all excuses we want.

239
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: They didn't consistently win. They were a disaster. But he

240
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: always handled himself like a pro, and he was always

241
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: widely respected by his teammates and people in the league

242
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: and was considered a leader. And Joe Burrow is just

243
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: like this magical, you know, perfect football player placed in

244
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. Right, great guy, great demeanor, positive vibes. Everyone

245
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: loves him. He's just perfect. They you know, Joe Burrow

246
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: literally checks every single box that you would want to

247
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: number one overall. Pick right, great player, great person, the

248
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: whole total package. Stafford had some holes, but I think

249
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: had a lot more boxes check than not. And you

250
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: see he's in a good situation now and he's thriving.

251
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's kind of been weird from the jump. It

252
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: just kind of worked because it was like, oh, Cliff

253
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: in his offense, and now it's just all this ship.

254
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: It really is. It's just one thing after another. Like

255
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: I've said it before, I'm out on the guy. I'm

256
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: out on the guy, not because I don't think he

257
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: can play, but just this stuff. And the one thing

258
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: about Michael Bidwell, who hasn't you know, been in charge

259
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: that long? Think about the two star quarterbacks that he's

260
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: seen over the last fifteen years, Kurt Warner, Hall of

261
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: Famer character and just drama zero and then Carson Palmer.

262
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: So he's seen what a star max quarterback looks like

263
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: and the way you should act. Think about this this offseason,

264
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: it's been widely reported one a thing that the Arizona

265
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: Cardinals thought that they lacked was leadership, even though they

266
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: had the number one overall player, you know, drafted several

267
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: years ago, a quarterback. Can you imagine the Bengals this

268
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: offseason saying, you know what, we need more of leadership. No,

269
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: that's that's Joe Burrow's job. He's the leader of the

270
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: squad like that that he sets the tone. But the

271
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, Steve Kim and Cliff Kingsbury actively thought that

272
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: this offseason because Kyler is not a leader. Like the

273
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: evidence is in. We've seen that. Now, the question is

274
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: he a good enough player to overcome that what we

275
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: saw at the end of the season. No chance like

276
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: that ain't good enough, not when you're expecting. And maybe

277
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: he's better right now because they're not gonna give him

278
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: some enormous contract. Lamar Jackson hasn't got paid yet, and

279
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has checked a lot more boxes of drama

280
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: free and just way more success than this guy. So

281
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals are in kind of a precarious situation.

282
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: I said it several weeks ago when they got their

283
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: ass kicked in the first round. You could fire everybody, right,

284
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: because what are you doing? What's gonna change. I was

285
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: just texting with someone earlier day, like the Cardinals are

286
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: coming back to Earth next year, because I assume now

287
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: these guys are all coming back, but now they're going

288
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: to be in a position where they pick up his

289
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: fifth year option. He plays his fourth year, he'll make

290
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: some plays, but then, like always, because he's really small,

291
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: we'll probably get banged up as a season goes on

292
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: and then not be as good, and you know, they'll

293
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: either you know, make the playoffs as a wild card

294
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: or just miss it, and we'll be like, oh, the

295
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: talented team. Maybe next year is the year. It's always

296
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those things. Next year is the year.

297
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm out. I've been out on the Cardinals. I'm definitely

298
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: out on just this whole drama situation. I don't do

299
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: drama with my quarterbacks. I can do drama with the

300
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: star wide receiver. I can do drama with my defensive end.

301
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: I can do drama with basically every other position beside

302
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: offensive line. And I don't want to worry about either

303
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: unless you're a star left tackle. But my quarterback, you

304
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: should be the last guy I'm thinking about anything you're doing.

305
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: And I think the problem for Kyler two is in

306
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. Think about the quarterbacks all throughout

307
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: the league, the young ones, they're like perfect. The only

308
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: blemish on Mahomes is his family. It's always like Patricks

309
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: just too good of a guy. His his fiance and

310
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: his brother man Herbert perfect, Lamar perfect. Nobody cares work harder.

311
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: That's literally his motto, Josh Allen perfect. I mean, none

312
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: of these guys cause any issues and literally all their

313
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: teams go. They're the leader of the team and all

314
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: of them are leader of the team by like their

315
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: second year. Yet what the Cardinals were like, we need

316
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: to bring in leaders. Let's go get j J. Let's

317
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: go get a J. Green, Like if these if these teams,

318
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, if the Chargers or the even the Bengal

319
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: or the Chiefs are going to bring in the players

320
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: because we need more talents, not because we need someone

321
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: to set the tone for an organization or our star

322
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: quarterback does that. And if your star quarterback is not

323
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: gonna do it and listen, they'll probably never be a

324
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Brady again. But Brady did set the tone of like

325
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: your best player who in this modern day NFL is

326
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: just gonna be your quarterback. If you're a good team,

327
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: have to set the tone for the entire organization, not

328
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: from just an on the field work at the standpoint,

329
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: but from a character standpoint, from a leadership standpoint, from

330
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: just an everyday life standpoint. And I don't know, man,

331
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: I I don't see it. Vanduel sports Book an official

356
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: talked to some like a f C and NFC college directors,

357
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: and they reiterated things that we already know. This is

358
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: a terrible quarterback draft. And I've said over and over

359
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: like I don't know if Trey Lance is gonna be

360
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: any good. I think he's a major project. But Trey Lance,

361
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: assuming he just would have had a good season at

362
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: North Dakota State this year, would have easily been the

363
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: number one overall pick in this draft. I don't even

364
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: think it would have been a question. Well, the Senior

365
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: Bowl happened and all these guys went, and that this

366
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: quote really stood out to me. I don't think there

367
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: is an above average starter in this group. So last

368
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: year where there were five quarterbacks and we don't know

369
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: if they're all gonna be good. I mean, Trey Lance

370
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: hasn't played, Mac Jones somehow made the Pro Bowl, but

371
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: is the least talented of the group. Fields needs a

372
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: lot of work, and now he's got a coach who

373
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: knows if he knows what he's doing. Trevor Lawrence might

374
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: be saved because Doug's there, and the Jets just they

375
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: got a lot of issues too. But Zach Wilson does

376
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: does have some talent. Where you look at this group,

377
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: like physically there aren't that many. The one physically gifted

378
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: guy is a project. Project is like a year away

379
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: from being a year away, and that's the liberty guy Willis.

380
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: So when you look at the quarterback trade market, you've

381
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: got two guys that stand out like a store thumb

382
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: because they're both first ballot Hall of famers. Aaron Rodgers,

383
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson if we assume that Aaron Rodgers is gonna

384
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: go to the Denver Broncos, and I saw it before

385
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: I got he's the betting You know, the betting odds

386
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: for him to go to Denver already are you have

387
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: to bet a hundred fifty one minus one fifty. So

388
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: it's no longer his it's an underdog for him to

389
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: stay in Green Bay. I've been saying it for a while.

390
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: He's gone. It's over. And Russell Wilson like he's gonna

391
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: try to play it like I'm this good guy. I

392
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: love Seattle, but the whispers are coming. You can already

393
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: feel the wind to blow. And now Seattle does not

394
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: the trade it. Say it over and over. This is

395
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: not the National Basketball Association. The moment you say you

396
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: want to get traded. I give Darryl Morey credit, he

397
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: hasn't cracked. But every other GM immediately trades a guy

398
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: when they're like I want out there, like okay, we'll

399
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: let you go. That's not how the NFL works. And

400
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: to me, if I'm John Schnyder, I'm not trading the

401
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: best player in the history of my franchise unless Russell

402
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: can make it really weird. Now I think he's shown

403
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: the hesitant to do that because he's so consumed with

404
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: being loved, especially like on social media. He doesn't want

405
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: to be the bad guy. But I still think that

406
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: maybe he puts his agent on it. He dipped his

407
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: toes in it last year, and if he became available,

408
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: teams would be lined up, the Giants the Eagles. I

409
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: think those two teams would be thrown first rounders at

410
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: John Snyder faster than your head could spend. And they

411
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: both obviously the Giants have to top ten picks, the

412
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: Eagles got three picks that there would be enormous offers.

413
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: But I think Schneider would come back like, well, who's

414
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: gonna play quarterback for us? Eagles would be like Jalen Hurts.

415
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: The Giants would be like Daniel Jones. Pay them, but

416
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: we'll see. You know. I think there's a decent chance

417
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: that he doesn't move. So you look at the quarterback

418
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: trade market. You know, is Jimmy Garoppolo if if these guys,

419
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers goes to Denver, I guess the only

420
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: place he wants to go. Because there's been some members

421
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: last week about Tennessee. I thought Colin had to. I

422
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: saw he had to take this weekend about Mike Vrabel

423
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: and Aaron probably wouldn't work. I saw John Robinson. I

424
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: don't know who he said this too, but like reiterated

425
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: the Tanney Hill was this guy, Tanney Hills dead cap

426
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: numbers almost sixty million. Now, if they were to trade him,

427
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: it's like thirty million. But who's really trading for Tanniel?

428
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: But if Aaron Rodgers wanted to go there and they

429
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 1: wanted him, I do think they can find a take

430
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: it for Ryan Tannihill. It's just what they want. Twenty

431
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: eight million dollars in dead cap and a two hundred

432
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: million dollar cap, like you're talking over ten percent of

433
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: your cap would just be sitting there for Ryan Tannehill.

434
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: Be kind of stupid, especially when you were just the

435
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: number one overall seed. Now the question is can you

436
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: win playoff games with Ryan? That's a question that I

437
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,479
Speaker 1: don't have the answer to. I would lean probably know,

438
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: but I know he's won it before, but that was

439
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry running for like seven hundred yards the

440
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: court of the Some of these, obviously, Jimmy Garoppolo is

441
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: going to get traded. Marcus Mariota Mr Trabiskie, I think

442
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna see some names and go, they signed who

443
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: for what? Because no one's gonna want to draft in

444
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: these guys, and no one in the first round is

445
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna bank like, I'm gonna get this guy and he's

446
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: gonna be my starting quarterback. Liked it happened last year,

447
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: and that was a huge kind of domino effect. Is

448
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 1: these teams especially high in the draft, but even the

449
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: Bears and the Patriots, they knew that push came to

450
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: show they had a pretty good chance drafting a quarterback.

451
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's the case this year, clearly,

452
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: just based on the talent coming up. Also, when you

453
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: see some of these teams, are you better off just

454
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: signing Mariota to a year, trading a fourth round pick,

455
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: just having Jimmy on your roster for twenty million dollars

456
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: and seeing the quarterbacks next year because now physically the

457
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: guys aren't. I wouldn't call freak shows. But c J.

458
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: Stroud is a really good player. I mean, the guy

459
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: throws a beautiful ball and he's gonna be a top

460
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: five pick. Bryce Young, small but absolute baller. He's like

461
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: a skinny Russell Wilson. So just based on sitting on

462
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: my couch watching college football, like, there's two guys who

463
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: are going feels like law Box to be top. You know,

464
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: we'll see Bryce. I can see him getting nitpicked because

465
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: he's small, probably top fight picks though. It's just the

466
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: nature of the position. But this year in the draft

467
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: is going. This is basic supply and demand, right. The

468
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: supply just isn't there, and the demand is really high.

469
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: So these quarterbacks that are already in the league, the

470
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: Mariota's obviously, the Jimmy Garoppolos, the Trabisky. I'm telling you,

471
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: I could see Trabisky someone giving him, like one year,

472
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,239
Speaker 1: twelve million dollars. People like, what are we doing. It's

473
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: just the nature of the of the business when there

474
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: isn't a great draft crop. Other breaking news today, I

475
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: don't know if it's officially official, but the Houston Texans

476
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: have hired Lovey Smith. Now I've said for a while that,

477
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: you know, I think when you work for Belichick. Now,

478
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: because Serio worked for Belichick for almost twenty years, you know,

479
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: listening to this book, you forget like Mangini. Now, Mangini

480
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: was with him for a little bit in Cleveland, but

481
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: their time in with the Patriots, Mangini, Josh Romeo, Wiss,

482
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: all those guys left in the two thousand's, cause Serio

483
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: was there in the early two thousand's and didn't leave

484
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: till a couple of years ago. And really, once Paoli

485
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: left to the Kansas Chiefs, Casario was like his right

486
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: hand guy. And I've heard enough about Casio. I've said

487
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: for a while like he's a little stiff from my taste,

488
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: but doing a little background on him, he's really really intelligent.

489
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: He's a football guy. He knows his ship. But I

490
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: think there are a lot of guys in the NFL,

491
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 1: and definitely I even think some owners that like understand

492
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: how important the position is. And ca Serio literally had

493
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: a front row seat to the greatest coach of all time.

494
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: So you can be the greatest GM in the history

495
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: of gms. You can be Bill Polian mixed with Bill Walsh,

496
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: mixed with you know who, I don't even know, Ron Wolf.

497
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: And if you don't have a good coach, you're not

498
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: gonna win in the NFL. I don't care if you're

499
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: on the headsets during the game. I don't care if

500
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: you're dictating the fifty three man lineup. I don't care

501
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: if you draw plays during the week. For the game plan.

502
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: You need the head coach to be legit. You cannot

503
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: win consistently in the NFL with an average head coach.

504
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: And I understood last year the job was toxic. They

505
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: couldn't get anyone to take him, so when David Culley

506
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: was hired, it was clear that it was gonna be

507
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: short term. It was why it was so disingenuous when

508
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: everyone was shipping on them for firing him. He never

509
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: should have been a head coach in the first place.

510
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: And I understand even this year it becomes a little like,

511
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: what should we do? Who should we hire? Is the

512
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: job still kind of toxic? Clearly they wanted to hire

513
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: Josh mccount, and I think like the notion that just

514
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: because he's never coached the day in his life that

515
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: he couldn't do it, to me, it's kind of stupid.

516
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: I would say quarterbacks are kind of in unique positions.

517
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: They are a huge part of the game plan, literally

518
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: every week backup quarterbacks. Even more, they're working hand in

519
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: hand with the coaches and the starting quarterbacks. So the

520
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: offensive play caller and the starting quarterback. You would say

521
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks the most importing guy in the field. So

522
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: this guy in the league for over a deck a

523
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: unique perspective. But it does feel like they wanted to

524
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: hire him, and it would have been universally ship on.

525
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: Why do they care? Why does it matter? What does

526
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: negative pr even mean? If they wanted to hire Josh McCown,

527
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: they should have just done it, double mental fingers up

528
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: and see what happens. Instead that it feels like they got,

529
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, pushed into a corner and hired a guy,

530
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: as someone told me today, who was going to retire

531
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: once they fired from Tampa, because remember Dirk Cutter was

532
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna leave, but they wanted Cutter to stay with Jamis,

533
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: so they essentially fired Lovey to elevate Cutter. Lovey was

534
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna retire, but then the a d at Illinois offered

535
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: him like five million dollars a year. He complete mail

536
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: and John just got paid. And I was actually a

537
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: little shocked that even coached for the Texans last year.

538
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: But again, money talks ship walks and to now make

539
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: him the head coach to me in two thousand twenty

540
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: two in a quarterback league scenes pretty nut when it

541
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: was clear they wanted to hire him account but the

542
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: public pressure, which what does that mean? Like Twitter's gonna

543
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: rip you. Some fucking news channels locally are gonna rip

544
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: you that seventy thousand people are watching like this isn't

545
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: n seven. We're not all watching the same thing. There's

546
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: a lot of noise. Who cares because Sario literally came

547
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: from a place where there was so much noise around

548
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: the Patriots for two decades and they were able to

549
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: kind of cancel it all out. Isn't that the sport

550
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: of football? If you truly want to do something, you

551
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: only get this opportunity, especially if it's gonna go poorly potentially.

552
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: Once look at Scott Pioli in Kansas City. Scott Pioli

553
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: was several times Executive of the Year. Everyone in a

554
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: high opinion of him. Belichick like taught him the secret sauce.

555
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: Then he goes to Kansas City. He clearly acted like

556
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: an asshole like a lot of the Belichick guys. Did

557
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: he do that famous thing where he left the Snickers

558
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: rapper in the stairwell? But do you know what his

559
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: downfall was? He hired Todd Haley and Romeo Cornell might

560
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: have been Vice might have been the opposite Romeo Cornell,

561
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: then Todd Haley whatever over his head coaches. Of course,

562
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: he didn't keep a job right. Look at the guy

563
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: that came in next, Andy Reid been there ever since, thriving,

564
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: winning a bunch of games. You were only as good

565
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: as an executive you can get buy in baseball, you

566
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: can't far anxiety Freedman, Cashman. I mean, I think Aaron

567
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: Boone's a nice guy. He ain't doing anything. Dave Roberts again,

568
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: nice guy. He doesn't dictate the lineup. The front office

569
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: runs the whole thing. And you can go to playoffs

570
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: every year, you can win a hundred games that they're

571
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: the one setting the lineup. They're the one telling you

572
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: want to pull pictures out. Happens in basketball. A lot

573
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,479
Speaker 1: of these gms tell the team and tell the coaching

574
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: staff exactly how to operate. That's not really how it

575
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: works in football. And even if you try to do that,

576
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: you will it won't succeed. Like even the Eagles, who

577
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: are a very front office heavy team. Look at what

578
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: Sirianni did. He like changed his offense in October this year,

579
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: and that was a big reason they became so run

580
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: heavy they stopped putting it all on Jalen's shoulders because

581
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: he's not that good of a thrower, and they ended

582
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: up in the playoffs. So you hire a guy, Lovey Smith,

583
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: who hasn't you know, mailed it in for the last

584
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: five years. I think it's nuts because especially because they

585
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: did not want to hire him, they wanted to hire

586
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: the other guy. Now do I Josh had been Josh

587
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: could have failed too, but at least fail with what

588
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: you want to do. Don't be scared of this reaction.

589
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: I just what the funk is a reaction? I don't

590
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: even know what that means. Like Albert Brier's gonna rip you,

591
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: Peter King is gonna write an article. What does that

592
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: mean anything? If you start, you know, five and three,

593
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: everyone will celebrate you. The only thing that matters is

594
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: winning games. That's the only thing that matters, because the

595
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: moment you start winning games, everyone will forget about all

596
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: the BS and right now in the off season, that's

597
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: when all the fluff and the BS. So I I

598
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: just think that Casario, now, I mean, obviously love he

599
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: is a lot higher level. He's been a head coach,

600
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, several times uh than David Culley, who was

601
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: never going to be an NFL head coach. So I'm

602
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: not saying this is like David Culley two point oh,

603
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: but in a quarterback league when you got a rookie

604
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: or I guess he's gonna be a second year guy,

605
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: and you wanted to hire this offensive quarterback coach. But

606
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: it feels like you got bullied out of it. Man.

607
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: I just I don't love that. Something that happened on

608
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: Sunday and uh it was Star Saints running back Alvin Kamara.

609
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: I thought when the story broke that he went to

610
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: the club right after the game because he said he

611
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: got arrested at five o'clock. I'm like, damn, this guy.

612
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: You know Sunday Funday, which is about half the people

613
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: in my Instagram are always doing. I thought, you know,

614
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: he's just ready for Sunday Funday. He's in Vegas, gets

615
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: arrested at the club. You know, there are not many

616
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: places Sunday Funday at dinner time you'd be at a

617
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: club and it'll be popping, like Las Vegas. But it

618
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: turns out it was the night before. He was at

619
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: a club. There was a fight. They had him on

620
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: video and they arrested him from what you know the

621
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: way I read it, at Allegiant Stadium, so maybe when

622
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: he was leaving the stadium whatever, he got arrested as

623
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: he was going. Now. I love Vegas. I've never been

624
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: in any trouble in Vegas. I've spent a lot of

625
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: time in Vegas. I feel very very at home in Vegas.

626
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: When I was scouting, basically my home away from home,

627
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: I would stay in Vegas. It was close to Arizona,

628
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: it was close to l A. And it was close

629
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: to all the Utah schools, which at the time had

630
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: a lot of players. So I could hit the l

631
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: A schools, the Arizona schools, and the Utah schools. It

632
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: was kind of I don't know if it was exactly

633
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: centrally located, but it was. I enjoyed it. But I

634
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: also was never like I had to go to a club,

635
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: I had to screw around, I had to get drunk.

636
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: I can handle myself there. One thing is clear that

637
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: young people in their twenties, it's been a struggle. It

638
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: has been a big struggle for the NFL since being there.

639
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: They've had a player that's gonna go to prison for

640
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: like twenty plus years, like a guy that would have

641
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: been a star in the NFL. I truly believe that

642
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs was gonna be a unique player for years

643
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: to come. We're never gonna see him again. He's gonna

644
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: go to prison. His life is over. Damon Arnett, who

645
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: you could argue as a clown or whatever, and they

646
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't have drafted him the first round, like he's out

647
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: of the NFL, can't stop getting arrested in Las Vegas.

648
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: And then you see a situation like this. The Raiders

649
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: had another guy, I think a nickel corner named Nelson

650
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: who you know technically didn't get a d u I,

651
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: but was asleep at the wheel because I think the

652
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: the ignition was off. I mean he was drunk asleep

653
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: in a parking lot, like it's been hard. And I

654
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: was thinking about this with Josh McDaniels, like they're gonna

655
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: come in include the Patriots have a strict way of

656
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: doing things, and let's face it, he's gonna copy the

657
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: Patriot way and try to draft Patriot players, though Gruden

658
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: did some of that too. Like Bill Belichick would love

659
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro, Bill Belichick would love Max Crosby, like they

660
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: have a lot of Josh Jacobs, They have a lot

661
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: of guys that Bill would really like. But I also thought,

662
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: like in their younger days, like Edelman and Gronk, get

663
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: after it a little bit, and you don't have to

664
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: be just like caught with drugs or guns to get

665
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: in trouble in Vegas. What if you just get into

666
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: a fight and there there are clubs, it goes stive

667
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: and some people would be like middle coff so in

668
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: New York, at Chicago and Miami, I think Vegas a

669
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: different animal. I I really do. Now, maybe you could

670
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: compare it to Miami, but I'd say, well, look at

671
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: the last twenty plus years in Miami, they've had guys,

672
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: they haven't won at all. It's hard to keep guys focused.

673
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: It's hard to keep guys focused in Vegas. And no

674
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: matter how good of a guy you draft, and I

675
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: would imagine, you know, character is gonna be at a

676
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: premium for the Josh McDaniels, Dave Ziegler kind of administration.

677
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: But Henry Ruggs was a good character guy coming out

678
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: of school, like people like he had no red flax.

679
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: Again going to prison, that's happening. So I don't really

680
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: know how you navigate it. You almost gotta keep your

681
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: fingers crossed, because when I think back at some of

682
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: the Patriot teams, like, who's to say that a four

683
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: year old Rob Gronkowski might not have gotten to a

684
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: drunk brawl if he had been playing in Vegas instead

685
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: of New England at four years old, Because here's what's

686
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: gonna happen in Vegas. These bars, in these clubs that

687
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: are open seven are clearly paying these guys to come. Now,

688
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: I'm not saying necessarily about Alvin Kamara, but I just

689
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: don't know how you keep avoiding these situations because it's

690
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: a bad combination, right, You have these young, famous people

691
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: with a lot of cash that all the happening places

692
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: are gonna want to be at. Like, just just do

693
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: the math. You know. Obviously the Henry Rugg situation is

694
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, but just basic scenarios like Alvin Kamar

695
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: getting to a fight at a club. Who who's to say,

696
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: we've all seen if you've ever been around you know,

697
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: famous people or especially young people. Just for as many

698
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: people that want to come up and get their autograph

699
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: or picture taken with them, there's always several just dudes

700
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: full of bravado that want to show like they got

701
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: the bigger swinging you know what when they walk into

702
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: the bar, and sometimes they get in these situations that

703
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: the guy has nothing to do with And I just

704
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: wonder Vegas. The stadium is awesome, it pops, it works,

705
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: it's it's sweet. Game day is badass. The game day

706
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: is not their problem. It's gonna be Monday through Saturday

707
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: navigating that, especially in the off season, you only have

708
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: so many guys that, you know, like a Derek Card

709
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't drink right, who's a fit, got a family,

710
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: a six and it's not gonna go out even Hunter

711
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 1: Renfroll probably pretty low key. They're gonna be some guys

712
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: that just even not troublemakers, they are just gonna go

713
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: out in that environment. We all would if we were

714
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: twenty five with a lot of money and single, and

715
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: it's I wouldn't call it a problem, but it's definitely

716
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. Okay, we have some

717
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: breaking news. The New Orleans Saints have I guess officially replaced.

718
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: Replaced feels like a strong word. Have a new coach

719
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: after Sean Payton, and his name is Dennis Allen. Now

720
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: I had a front row seat for a year of

721
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen when he was the head coach of the Raiders.

722
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: Funny story, well, this radio station that I worked at,

723
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: which I mean ship it feels like twenty years ago,

724
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: but we had the Raiders rights and one year the

725
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: boss of the radio station wanted us to have a

726
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: better relationship with the Raiders, so he took us to

727
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders facility. We all met there and Dennis Allen

728
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: was gonna speak to all the hosts and we all

729
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: sit down in the team room, like where the team

730
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: would sit down and their head coach would be at

731
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: the front of the room. And there, you know, couldn't

732
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: have been more than fifteen guys sitting there in this

733
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: huge room and we're all sitting in the front row

734
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: and Dennis starts his talk. Was just kind of bullshit

735
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: and having a good time. My phone goes off, and

736
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, the football guy and me, that's pretty embarrassing.

737
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: You're around a head coach in a in a serious setting.

738
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want your phone to go off,

739
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: So you know, I reach to shut it off, and

740
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: I go down to shut it off. I actually hit

741
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: hit except and I also think I hit speaker phone,

742
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: so all of a sudden you can kind of hear

743
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: this noise and Dennis is looking around because the phone

744
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: rang a couple of times, but I think I don't

745
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: realize it at the time. Then all of a sudden,

746
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: I hear John, John, it's my mom, and my mom

747
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: is echoing throughout the Raiders team room as Dennis Allen

748
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: is just shaking his head. Everyone's laughing at me. Pretty embarrassing.

749
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: Then Dennis Allen would go oh and four and it

750
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: would be fired before I think they even got to

751
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: like early October. So I think his final career record

752
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: was like four and twenty eight. It was a disaster. Now,

753
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: those Raider teams were god awful. And his last year

754
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: they finally got Derek Carr, who started as a rookie

755
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: in Khalil Mack. Hard for me to judge him. I

756
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: know that Sean Payton and the Saints clearly think highly

757
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: of him, but I don't know, man. I you know,

758
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 1: in my in my interaction being around him and feels

759
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: like and again, there's nothing wrong with this. He was

760
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: probably making seven figures. I know he was making seven.

761
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: He's probably making two million dollars a year. You know,

762
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: I get it, you can't turn down being the head coach.

763
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: But to me, he's a number two. There's just nothing

764
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: wrong with being a number two, right, Lovey Smith probably

765
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: can be at number one now, he's just an average

766
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: number one. But some guys are really good number two

767
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: is they're not number one. Some guys can be number one,

768
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: they're just not really good number one. The reality is

769
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: there's only probably ten good number ones, maybe twelve thirteen max.

770
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: And as you see with the the eber Flucees, the

771
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell's, you know, the Nathaniel Hackett's who I'm rooting for,

772
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: you see David's guy, even Mike McDaniel, who I'm a

773
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins fan now. But a lot of these guys are

774
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: gonna fail. When you just look at this list, it

775
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: feels like the majority already of this crew is gonna

776
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: be on the hot seat by year three. So it

777
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: just shows you, man, Now, sometimes you never know there'll

778
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: be a guy shock you here there. But for the

779
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: most part, pretty underwhelming hiring cycle, and you know you

780
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: couldn't have What are you gonna do with Sean Payton retires? Uh,

781
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: it's been impossible to replace them, especially when you don't

782
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: have a quarterback. But the NFC South is in shambles,

783
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: you know. Tom Brady said peace, Sean Payton said peace.

784
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: So they got The Saints have no quarterback or coach.

785
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Dennis Allen is their coach, but that's a

786
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: huge downgrade. The Bucks have no quarterback. The Panthers are

787
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: a train wreck, and the Falcons are just averages. The

788
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: day is long with Mattie Ice. So the NFC South,

789
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: who the NFC West actually plays next season, that could

790
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: get ugly. That could get very ugly. Assuming Kyler Murray

791
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: doesn't get traded or anything. You know, maybe he'll put

792
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: some pictures back on his Instagram by uh by the

793
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 1: time you're listening to this. But Sean Payton and Dennis Allen,

794
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: it's like going from Tom Brady to whoever the hell

795
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: Jason Light's gonna go? Do you just flight football is hard, man.

796
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: That's why I said Ryan Poles when he made those statements.

797
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: This league is very, very difficult. So you don't want

798
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: to get too cocky. You don't want to pound your

799
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: chest too hard. You can go from the penthouse the

800
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: outhouse faster, and you can blink. So I guess all

801
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: I can say to these teams that have new coaches, godspeed,

802
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, good luck to you because might be a

803
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: long fall. Better, better draft well, better, better hit some

804
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: home runs in free agency, because uphill battle for a

805
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: lot of you. Middlecoff mail back time at John Middlecoff

806
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: is the Instagram slide up into those d ms. Middlecoff

807
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: with two f's. You know, when I started working at

808
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: Fresido State, they put up my name tag one F.

809
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: I got hired with the Eagles put on my name

810
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: tag one F. Radio didn't have an office. Now if

811
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: I I need to put up a name tag and

812
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: spell my name correctly because no one ever gave me

813
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: the proper respect. Two f's, keep a chip on your shoulder,

814
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, let's start. Actually got an email from Scott.

815
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: What can the Cowboys get back if they put Zeke

816
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: on the table for a trade nothing. I I don't

817
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: think he's tradeable with his contract. It's big. I think

818
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: they have to cut him, and I have to look

819
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: at the contract if he's even cuttable. But I Zeke's done,

820
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: you know, I I think if they cut him, you

821
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: would see a team like the Ravens or the Chiefs

822
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: or you know, a team try to give him like

823
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: a flyer. But I think there's a decent chance he's

824
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: out of the league pretty quick, which is crazy. And

825
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm i'm a I have a lot of respect for

826
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: Zeke as a player. He's my type running back. You know,

827
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: in his peak, he could run inside, he could run outside,

828
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: he could pass protect, he catch the ball. Um. I'm

829
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: I was a huge fan of his game. He's what

830
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: I like in running back. I like a guy that

831
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: can do everything. It's like, see Kawan Barkley is not

832
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: really my cup of team. Won't pass block now he's injured,

833
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: But I uh, when you can't run, man, it's just

834
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: hard to play football. He just lost his explosion. When

835
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: you're not exp like, you gotta be, you gotta to me.

836
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: There's like a mandatory short airy quickness to be a

837
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: good running back. You can't just run guys over. You

838
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: can in high school, you can in college, you can

839
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: in the pros. Justice big fan appreciate it question for

840
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: the pod. I didn't need to read that. I just,

841
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, scraped myself on the back. I know you

842
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: like big arm quarterbacks, but I feel like We just

843
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: have to put Burrow above Josh Allen for going toe

844
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: to toe with Mahomes twice in the season and coming

845
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: out victorious. Alan has yet to get over the hump,

846
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: and when the entire world thought the Bengals were done

847
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: after losing the coin toss, they still found a way

848
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: to pull it out. Yeah. I mean, if Joe Burrow

849
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 1: wins Super Bowl, got no issue putting them at the top.

850
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: You can put him right there with Patrick Mahomes. I mean,

851
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen threw four touchdowns and was remarkable in that

852
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: game in Kansas City. Josh Allen the week before against

853
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots made them look like Texas Tech. Josh Allen

854
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: the second time he played in New England, Josh Allen,

855
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: him and Mahomes were to me, you could argue Josh

856
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: was the best player the last five or six weeks

857
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: of the season, including the playoffs. You know, I mean

858
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: Burrow was Burrow that great against the Bengals. I mean

859
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: the Titans wasn't all his fault. He got sacked the bunch.

860
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Joe Burrow fan. I'm with you. I'm

861
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: not hating. I would have those guys in the whole

862
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: little crew, and I think lamar Herbert like I think

863
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: the star is so bright on these young guys. That's

864
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: why kyler Man you can have him. I don't want him.

865
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: Here's my question. I'm a Ducks fan, that's a Herbert fan.

866
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: I've been very fascinated with Herbert versus Burrow comparison. I

867
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 1: think Herbert from a pure talent standpoint, is clearly more elite,

868
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: but Burrow in his intangibles, making it to the super

869
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: Bowl in his first full year healthy has been amazing.

870
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: I enjoyed watching both, but I still would take Herbert

871
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: over Burrow considering I think Burrow had to go had

872
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: a lot goes away Tanniel three picks my Home's ugly

873
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: second half. I'm curious about your thoughts on the comparison.

874
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, I think we play this game so much

875
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: trying to compare all these quarterbacks. I I if if

876
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: it depends who my coach was, if it was Andy Reid,

877
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: I would want Herbert, you know, bombs all way. If

878
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: it was Kyle Shanahan, I would take Herbert. But I

879
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: think Burrow would crush it in that offense. So it's

880
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: just like listen, I mean, right now, one guys in

881
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He took the Bengals of the Super Bowl.

882
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: But I think the reason Herbert wasn't in the playoffs

883
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: because his coach can't help going for word and then

884
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: pretending he's the smartest guy in the room when he

885
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: talks to the media. So if it wasn't for his

886
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: coach being one of the worst defensive coaches, I mean,

887
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: their defense was a joke with the Chargers, a joke.

888
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: Herbert was unreal. He couldn't even make the playoffs. I

889
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: can't put that all on him, but I have to

890
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: give the nod to Borrow. But if independently in a vacuum,

891
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: and I could pick my coach, giving me the big

892
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: arm guy, And again that's a shot at Burrow. If

893
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's my coach, give me Joe Burrow. If I

894
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: got Andy Reid, give me Herbert. If I got Belichick,

895
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: give me McCorkle, who was in the Pro Bowl, Mac

896
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: Jones in the Pro Bowl. I actually had this thought today.

897
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, uh, my cousin, went to the Pebble Beach

898
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: tournament and I was texting with him and he was

899
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: I think walking around ran into Josh Allen's family. If

900
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen doesn't go to the Super Bowl, I don't

901
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: think he'll ever attend the Pro Bowl if he's ever

902
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl eligible, because if the A T and T

903
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: Pebble Beach, which I heard he at the time of

904
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: his life, I don't blame him. I think he's gonna

905
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: go to that every single year over the Pro Bowl.

906
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: There's a chance to Josh Allen when his career ends,

907
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: has like eight nine Pro Bowls and never attends one.

908
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: I don't know why he would, Like I said yesterday,

909
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: why would you attend to Pro Bowl? I don't get it.

910
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: It's a joke. Now it's fun. I wouldn't play in

911
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: the game, But I don't think Josh Allen will ever go.

912
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: I think he's either gonna go to the Super Bowl.

913
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: If he doesn't make the Super Bowl and they get

914
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: bounced in the NFC, a F T Championship, the divisional round,

915
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 1: wild card, whatever, I think he's going to Pebble Beach

916
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: and he'll just claim rest because Josh Allen's like, I

917
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: need a rest, and he went to Pebble Beach, played

918
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: seventy tools of golf. Uh Niners getting more draft compensation

919
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: for McDaniel than Jimmy G. McDaniel, whose father is black.

920
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: They get two third round picks. Kyle Shanahan is like

921
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: the modern day Al Davis. Think of what they're doing.

922
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: Robert Salo minority head coach, Mike McDaniel minority like his

923
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: best friend boom head coach Damiko Ryan's who Kyle was

924
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: around named a defensive coordinator when not a lot of

925
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: people would have heat to me, Demiko, It's hard to

926
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: ever say a lock with the defensive guy, but he

927
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 1: feels like a lockhead coach in two three Kyle in

928
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: in three years will have three minority coaches as head coaches.

929
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: The Raiders used to pump their chests like we leave

930
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:26,720
Speaker 1: diversity in two thousand twenty two feels like Kyle's kicking

931
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 1: ass and taking names in that department. Kyle is a fantastic,

932
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: fantastic evaluator of coaches and then he rehires rehire for

933
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: the first time and listen, I was hard on this

934
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: guy as a head coach. I'll take this guys in

935
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:44,200

00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: are your long shots to watch out for? And he

939
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: bets you are placing. I'm there for a bachelor party,

940
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: so gotta make it interesting. Also, just wanted to let

941
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: you know that I always l O L whenever you

942
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: refer to to us pea shooter arm pew pew uh.

943
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: I will talk about the waste management in my gambling

944
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 1: picks on Go Low will come out Wednesday on this feed.

945
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: We're actually just working on some artwork right now. I

946
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: think it looks pretty good. I think it looks pretty good.

947
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: I won uh fifty dollars last week top ten Pat

948
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: Perez no big deal, had Joel Damon to top five,

949
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: but he couldn't quite get it done T six. I

950
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: played that. I guess I'll talk about it on the

951
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: on the next podcast. Paid to play that course last year.

952
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 1: It's cool, nothing too crazy, little little overvalued. Maybe I've

953
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: been listening to it for a month. Big fan of

954
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: Diehard Charger fan from San Diego. God, I love San Diego.

955
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: Staley is awful. Our players love him though, But how

956
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: do you have such a terrible defense when he's supposed

957
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: to be a defensive guy, Well, our cheap owner, move

958
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: off him next year. If we don't make the playoffs,

959
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: if you go back to back years with Justin Herbert,

960
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: if they go three straight years with Justin Herbert on

961
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: a rookie contract and don't make the playoffs, Deep Spanish

962
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: should be forced to sell. He really should. He should

963
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: be forced to sell and only keep half of his

964
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: capital gains because it was that big of an embarrassment.

965
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: If they don't make the playoffs this year, brand Salley

966
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: should get demoted back to John Carroll or wherever a

967
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,919
Speaker 1: little school he was from, because I mean, we're having

968
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: legitimate conversations comparing Herbert to Burrow, Herbert to Allen And

969
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: even if you guys are picking Borrow the way, if

970
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: you have eyes and you like football and you've watched Herbert,

971
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 1: you're like, holy molly, this guy looks like John Elway.

972
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: Yet his head coach top five quarterback talked to multiple teams.

973
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: They had this guy graded as the fourth best quarterback.

974
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 1: Every team has him as the top five. Some is

975
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: like fourth best quarterback in the NFL. This year, it

976
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs, lost to the Raiders. Lost to

977
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders, whose coach got fired who started receivers going

978
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: to jail who just had random guys everywhere except like

979
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: five good players. Who's crazy? I mean, impressive win by

980
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: Rich and Derek, But to lose that game. He went

981
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: for his own eighteen yard line. Sometimes I just think

982
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: about that. Brandon Staley on his own eighteen yard line. No,

983
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: not the eighteen yard line that would put you in

984
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: the red zone. On his own eighteen yard line, went

985
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: for it. Oh in the preseason game. No on like

986
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: a regular season game, no kind of. It was essentially

987
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: a playoff game. Winner gets in uh in the in

988
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: the first quarter, Now in the second half. What maybe

989
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: it was the first half. I was coming back from

990
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: the Rams Niner game. But regardless, in a playoff game,

991
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: because that's what week that week, a team game was

992
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: Sunday night football, playoff game, went for it. How can

993
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: I ever look at you the same? Don't tell me

994
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 1: it's about the process, the analytics. That's the dumbest fucking

995
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: football a any of us, I repeat, any of us

996
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: listening have ever seen besides like fake punts from Pogano

997
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying, a real play in a real game.

998
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: That is insanity, That is nuts. Walsh, John Madden, Al Davis,

999
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: Paul Brown rolling over in their graves. Belichick threw up

1000
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: watching that, even though he probably wasn't watching that. He

1001
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: was watching film of his own team. That is, say

1002
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: that out loud. I think about that play like once

1003
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: a week. He went for it. He went for it

1004
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: eighty eight yards away, eighty eight yards away. I was wondering,

1005
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: since you're a former Scout, how does one become a

1006
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: Scout and his requirement to become one. I think I

1007
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: need to put this on my like YouTube page. Someone

1008
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: told me because I've I've answered this question so many

1009
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: times over the years, and some of you guys are

1010
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: newer listeners, some of your older listeners. One thing I

1011
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: might do in the next couple of weeks, maybe an offseason,

1012
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,959
Speaker 1: and it's just put up a ten minute video John

1013
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: Middlecoff's YouTube page. I'm not even that active on it,

1014
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: and just have how to become a Scout? How I

1015
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: became a Scout. I mean, they're a different paths for everybody, right,

1016
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: I mean, me and Joe Green's a Scout Hall of Famer, Right,

1017
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean John Middlecoff was a Scout, Right, me and

1018
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 1: me and Joe Green had the same job. Well, I

1019
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: mean his job was I think he was a hirer executive.

1020
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: But he used to come through President State and I

1021
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: would set me and Joe Green up with uh with

1022
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: film because back then you had to like put tapes

1023
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: in the cassettes or maybe it was DVDs, but they

1024
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: had their own little film room. I'll never forget shaking

1025
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: me and Joe Green's hands, Like this guy's a scout

1026
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean he's before my time. But

1027
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, it'd be like meeting you know, Mickey Mantle

1028
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: or something. It's like just the name, uh the commercial

1029
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: with the coke bottle and uh. So you can be

1030
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame defensive tackle on one of the

1031
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: greatest teams ever, or you can just go to cal

1032
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: Poly and study business and get involved in football. You know.

1033
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: Then there are a lot of pass Uh, there are

1034
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: a lot of ass that's for sure. I'll never forget

1035
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 1: me and Joe Green's hands. They were so big. Remember

1036
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: going to shake it and my hand just disappeared. And

1037
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: then me and Joe forgot his phone. Remember he lost

1038
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: his phone, and like circle back the next day and

1039
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: I was freaking out, and I think we ended up

1040
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: finding this phone but my me and Joe Green story. Okay,

1041
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: well that should do it. We will put out a

1042
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: golf podcast on Wednesday, Waste Management. God, I love that tournament.

1043
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: We will put a Super Bowl podcast on Friday. We

1044
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: will have I'm talking to Stucky tomorrow and we're gonna

1045
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: go over a bunch of you know, obviously gambling on

1046
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: the game props, m v P stuff that'll be for

1047
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: the weekend. Get your gamble on. I mean, I'm leaning

1048
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: right now to put a lot of money on the

1049
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: Rams minus four to me. I think that's the bet,

1050
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: which is crazy because I've been against Joe Burrow, who

1051
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: might turn out to be like Joe Montana or Tom Brady.

1052
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: So you know, I've been a lot of people are like, oh,

1053
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna blow out the Patriots. Then all

1054
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Vinitary's kicking the game win field goal

1055
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: and John Madden saying Tom Brady just gave him goose bumps.

1056
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: So if if Chris Collinsworth is saying at the end

1057
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: of the game, Joe Burrow just gave him goose bumps,

1058
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: I won't be happy. So I'm I'm fully acknowledging Joe

1059
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 1: Burrow makes me nervous. Joe Burrow makes me very nervous.

1060
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: It is impossible to not be a enormous Joe Burrow fan.

1061
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: He is everything that's great about the NFL. Humility, cool swag.

1062
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: But it feels like you could have a beer with him,

1063
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: feels like you could spend a weekend golfing and drinking

1064
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: beers with him. Feels like you could go on a

1065
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: double date with him. Feels like you would love him

1066
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: to be our starting quarterback. Feels like he's just he's

1067
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: a smooth cat, and he's he's really really easy to

1068
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: work root for. And I think that that differentiates him

1069
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 1: from Herbert elite skills, Josh Allen elite skills, Mahomes. Basically

1070
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 1: Brett Farve Lamar Jackson is basically a much more polished

1071
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. This guy who's not that big, who's not

1072
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: that fast, he doesn't have that big of an arm.

1073
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 1: Be like if Tony Romo was mixed with like, you know,

1074
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning or something. It's it's wild. It's he's just

1075
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: a unique player, fun to watch. I don't know if

1076
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: his team is that good, but maybe he just you know,

1077
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: it's Michael Jordan's football. I don't know he was the

1078
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think we'd all admit it's that's one

1079
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: of the most remarkable accomplishments we've ever seen. Joe Burrow

1080
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: year two takes the Bengals, beats the Chiefs and the

1081
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 1: Rams basically in a home game to win the Super Bowl.

1082
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:38,720
Speaker 1: Because you can say, beating the Raiders not that crazy.

1083
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: They'd already beat him, beat the Titans, who you know,

1084
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,720
Speaker 1: like John Robinson a lot. His team was good, number

1085
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: one overall, seed good. I don't know, But to beat

1086
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at Arrowhead and then beat the Rams basically

1087
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: on the road, on the road, I mean, their home,

1088
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: that'd be wild. That'd be wild. I'm gonna bet against it.

1089
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: I do not feel great about it, but I don't

1090
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: feel great about his team. That's where I go. But hell,

1091
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean I love the Chiefs. I lost three thousand

1092
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: dollars two weeks ago, So maybe I'm not that great

1093
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: of a gambler. Even though I'm not, I'm not terrible.

1094
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: I had some wins. Okay, talk soon. Peace The volume
