We've pivoted a lot of 5 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: football content came out of the owners meetings today, so 6 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: I do want to hit on some of the things 7 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: that were from Jerry Jones to Purty to Cousins, a 8 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: lot going push push, So I was like, hey, you 9 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: know what, let's dive into some football today.

Hell, I was watching 54 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: the Final four and watching Jace Richardson, Jason Richardson's son 55 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: star for Michigan State. I remember being at a Kings game, 56 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: sneaking up to basically courtside a couple rows behind with 57 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: my buddy Mike Ewing that I grew up with watching 58 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: a Warriors Kings game and Jason Richardson, who at the 59 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: time felt like he was a first or second year 60 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: player I was in high school and him doing a 61 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: breakaway three sixty and I'm watching his son. It's like God, 62 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: I feel old, and part of life is aging, and 63 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: as you get older, you know, these people that have 64 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: been in your life kind of come down the home stretch. 65 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: And if you love sports, and especially where I grew up, 66 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: forty nine, Ers and Cowboys were a really big deal. 67 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: And I Jerry Jones has been in my life like 68 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: most people that fallow football for a long time now. 69 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: And I watched a clip of the kind of quote 70 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: that went viral that discussing Micah Parsons, and you know, 71 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: the main part of the quote was like I'd rather 72 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: pay more and get it right, which I want to 73 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: dive into that quote, but watching Jerry is like, God, 74 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: he's he's aging, and he's aging. Of course he's he's 75 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: in his eighties, and I think the Cowboys right now, 76 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: it's just going to be a weird little stretch in 77 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: Jerry's older years. There is no disputing it's not apples 78 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: to apples, but there does feel a little bit like 79 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: Al Davis Jerry Jones, two of the biggest names in 80 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 1: the history of the league, guys that own the team 81 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: and ram the team. The end got a little weird, 82 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: and that's what it feels like right now with Jerry. 83 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: Even if you listen to him talk and go, yeah, 84 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: I'm just going right to Micah Parsons. I'm the guy 85 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: cutting the check. He's the guy that has to accept 86 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: the deal. Why am I wasting time talking to anyone 87 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: else that's not that abnormal? It feels kind of weird 88 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: because Jerry saying it. TJ. Watt did this a couple 89 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: of years ago when he held in and went right 90 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: to Art Rooney's office. Last year, when the negotiations were 91 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: going on with Brandon Ayuke, it was constantly Kyle John 92 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: and Brandon Ayuke dealing with each other on top of 93 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: the agent. Now, when you make the quote, I'd rather 94 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: pay more and get it right, I think there's a 95 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: lot of validity to that statement. In any walk of life, 96 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: you were better off paying a little bit more and 97 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: being happy with your purchase. I mean, think how many 98 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: things in life that if you go cheap on, end 99 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: up costing you more money in the long run. It 100 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: happens constantly with you know, purchases under one hundred bucks 101 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: to purchase his like cars and homes that you're like, God, damn, 102 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: I should not have done this, and it backfires. I 103 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: would say Jerry has a point when you'd rather pay 104 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: more and get it right. When it comes to free agents, 105 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: right when you are shopping with NFL for agents, you 106 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: would rather pay a guy twenty million dollars a year 107 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: and feel very good about him either become being a 108 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl player, a high end starter and feeling good 109 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: about it, even if you are making him the highest 110 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: paid player at his position, then pay an average guy 111 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: sixteen million dollars a year and go, we're just filling 112 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: a need here. This I'm not comfortable with it. Totally 113 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: understand that, and I completely agree. But when you are 114 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: extending your own players, especially superstar players who are going 115 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: to make an astronomical amount of money, the Miles Garretts, 116 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, the Justin Jeffersons, obviously, the quarterbacks, a guy 117 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: like Micah Parsons, the difference of ten fifteen million dollars 118 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: on the total guarantee could be the difference of an 119 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: extra starter or two. So when Jerry the last couple 120 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: of deals he's had with Ceedee Lamb with Dak Prescott 121 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: has cost him starting players, they don't have the wiggle 122 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: room because of the way that he does deals. And 123 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: then his arch rival, the Eagles are known for doing 124 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: deals early and saving money over the course of a 125 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: couple seasons. Like, it's not like the Eagles don't have 126 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: a lot of high priced players. They've extended a lot 127 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: of them early. It's saved them money a year or 128 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: two later, and it enables them to basically have an 129 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: offense that has like nine of their eleven starters are 130 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: MAX players. And the Cowboys like, well, we can only 131 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: have three MAX players on the whole fucking team. Like 132 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: that's not normal, Like that's just bad business. And I 133 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: would imagine, you know, Steven's in a tough spot. I've 134 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: always I've never met him, but I've known people that 135 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: have negotiated with him, not even for player stuff, but 136 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: in other walks of life, that speak really highly of them. 137 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: And to say he's pretty level headed guy to do 138 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: business with. I think sometimes when you're eighty plus years old, 139 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: you're as richest guy. Again, I like Jerry, and this 140 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: would be true in any walk of life. You know, 141 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: it's hard to maintain your fastball. Usually the guy that 142 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: throws one hundred miles an hour at twenty eight at 143 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: thirty years old is not doing it at forty five 144 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: years old. Dan Marino can throw a tight spiral, but 145 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: his arm strength probably isn't the same at sixty years old. 146 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: And you're watching Jerry now, one of the true mavericks 147 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: and great businessmen in the history of the NFL, has 148 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: been a huge part of the growth and the explosion 149 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: of the marketing and the popularity of football in terms 150 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: of the mindset on the business side of the league office. 151 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: He deserves a lot of credit for that. But the 152 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: guy we're seeing now, and it pains me to say, 153 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: this feels like a shell of himself, and you know, 154 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: it goes with the Brian Schottenheimer higher. It's just a 155 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: bizarre place right now. And ultimately he'll pay Michael Parsons 156 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: and he'll give him one hundred and fifty million dollars guaranteed, 157 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: where you know, if he would have done this early, 158 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: he probably could have got him for twenty percent cheaper, 159 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: but that's not the way Jerry does business. And then 160 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: he'll just complain like, we got three guys making max money, 161 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, probably could have saved done all 162 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: three of them, and they still could have been incredibly 163 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: wealthy and you would have had a better team. But 164 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: that's not what happens when you got a guy like 165 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: Jerry running the team as a GM in his eighties, Like, 166 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: how is he going to compete against Howie Roseman and 167 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: Adam Peters in his own division? News flash, he can't 168 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. This situation is just weird, man, I think, 169 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: and we've talked about this before. I get when you 170 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: make such an aggretch of aggressive purchase. If you're Arthur Blank, 171 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: another guy in his eighties, and you give a quarterback 172 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: essentially one hundred million dollars over a couple of years, 173 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: that you just like, I'm not letting this guy control 174 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: his own destiny when I paid him all this money 175 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: and I'm not just cutting him and allowing him to 176 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: go to another team. Well, I give him twenty seven 177 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: and a half million dollars this y year and then 178 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: I guarantee ten million dollars for twenty twenty six fu bs. 179 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: That's not happening. And Arthur Blank essentially told him that 180 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: right when they met, like, we paid you all this money, 181 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: we plan on you being here. I do think this 182 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: situation is gonna get weird now. Raheem Morris said at 183 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: the owner's meetings he does not expect her Cousins to 184 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: be at Minichamp news flag shocker. I mean, okay, I 185 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: do just wonder if and I think the hard part 186 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: is is Cousins is in line to make twenty seven 187 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: point five million dollars this year based on the way 188 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: he played last year. I don't think he would make 189 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: twenty seven point five million dollars had he been a 190 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: free agent in March. I think he would have got 191 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: like a Russell Wilson type deal. Here's ten or twelve 192 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: million dollars and will incentivize you up to thirty. But 193 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: how bad that was, given his age and given the 194 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: injury he just had. I think that would scared off 195 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people. And I do think if they 196 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: are going to trade him, especially if I trade for him. 197 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: I also take in that roster bonus that's owned in 198 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six if anyone were to sign him, if 199 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: he had been a free agent, no one would have 200 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: guaranteed him anything past twenty twenty five. So I think 201 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: the Falcons are just operating out of spite and we're 202 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: just going to keep you around. Don't love that. Once 203 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: training campits now, we got a long way to go 204 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: till then. And maybe teams. We'll find out after the 205 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: draft who really needs an extra veteran quarterback. But this 206 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: situation went from pretty normal when they signed him in March, 207 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: to then very weird with Kirk Cousins to now being 208 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: pretty petty, and it's going to be fascinating. I don't 209 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: know how this thing's going to play itself out, but 210 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: there is a lot of money on the line with 211 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: a quarterback that is not worth that type money based 212 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: on the way he played. Talking about guy who is 213 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: worth a lot of money would be Brock Purty and 214 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch and Jed York all spoke about 215 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: his situation, and the owner, who also talked about this 216 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: last year, expects a deal to get done now. I listen, 217 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: I've said over the course of the last month, I'm 218 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: done arguing like whether they should or shouldn't pay them. 219 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: They've already told you they're going to pay them. So 220 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: I will react when we see the amount of money 221 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: they gave him relative to these other quarterback contracts. But 222 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: we already know that he's not a top five quarterback. 223 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: Even in the best moments of his career. He's not 224 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: as good as the Mahomes, the Josh Allens, the Lamar Jackson's. 225 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: He's not on that level Joe Burrow, but he's proven 226 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: if your team is good enough around him, you can win. 227 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: And two of the best teams in the NFC are 228 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: proving that you can have a high priced quarterback and 229 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: build a loaded team with a lot of high priced 230 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: guys around him. So it is on John Lynch and 231 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan to figure this that you know what out, 232 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: because the Eagles have a quarterback making a ton of 233 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: money and they have a loaded offense. The Lions are 234 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: paying Jared Goff a ton of money and they have 235 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: extremely high priced offense. So it's on the forty nine 236 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: ers to figure this out because we saw down the 237 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: stretch of last season. He can't turn chicken shit into 238 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: chicken salad. That's not Brock purty, just like it's not 239 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: Jared Goff or Jalen Hurts. If I put Jared Goff 240 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: or Jalen Hurts or Brock Party on the Chiefs last year, 241 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: they're not the number one seed. So like these guys, 242 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with it. Luckily for Brock in 243 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, he doesn't have to go through 244 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow or Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. They got 245 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: the NFC, but like the teams at the top of 246 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: the NFC are pretty loaded around the quarterback. Hell, look 247 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: at what the Washington Commanders just did. They added a 248 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: starting left tackle. I would imagine they add more offensive 249 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: weapons come the draft. So you got the eleventh pick. 250 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: When you have the eleventh pick, that means you have 251 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: high picks in every round. You better get it right 252 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: because if the forty nine ers just have an average draft, 253 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: they're screwed. They need a draft that's like a moment 254 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: that changes the franchise. If not, given how much they 255 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure plan on paying this guy, it could set 256 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: the franchise, you know, into just mediocrity for a while. Obviously, 257 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: the NFL doesn't control what they Holidays fall on. Last 258 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: year they got ultra aggressive with a Wednesday Christmas and 259 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: they said, screw it, We're gonna give Netflix a package 260 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: out of thin air. And they did, and they gave 261 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: the teams the ability to play on Saturday, so a 262 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: Thursday schedule Wednesday, and then clearly they got a long break. 263 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: But it was pretty unfair to force teams to play 264 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: that or to week that late in the season, like, 265 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: it's not an ideal thing for these teams. This year, 266 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: they get a little reprieve because they announced they're gonna 267 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: do a triple header on Christmas because Christmas is on Thursday, 268 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: so you will have two Netflix games and then an 269 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: Amazon night game. Sign me up, I'm in. But I 270 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: also think it works out because you could have probably 271 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: three games on Saturday. So basically all these teams play 272 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: on Sunday the previous week, and then they just get 273 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: one less day. They play on Saturday, and then you 274 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: just rotate them all and they play on Thursday. So 275 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: instead of a short week, instead of four days, you 276 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: get five days. Still not ideal, but much better than 277 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: last year. And that's what I would imagine happens, is 278 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: we get three games the Saturday before Christmas, and then 279 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: Christmas on Thursday, you get those same three teams or 280 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: same three games, and just rotate the teams, just like 281 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: it happened this year with who it was, the Chiefs, 282 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: the Steelers, the Texans, and the Ravens. And that's what 283 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: I would imagine happens. Come this fall. The finals from 284 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: Marchbania are here and the only thing for sure is 285 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: it's the last time you can bet on college basketball 286 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: this season.

It's pretty clear. Nick Sirianni 307 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: says he's on the team as of now, and essentially like, 308 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: we can't. This is the NFL. It sucks. I watched 309 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: this thing on YouTube. It was Tannembaum interview, John Schneider 310 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: and Jason Light. It was like a very real setting out. 311 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe they did this at the combine, 312 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: maybe they did at the owners meetings. I'm not exactly 313 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: sure where it took place, but it was like the 314 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: three of them in a room, and it was just 315 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: refreshing to watch two guys that are gms now say, 316 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: most of the time when we let good players go, 317 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: we get crushed locally, you know, by our fans and 318 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: everyone's pissed off. We never want to let these guys go. 319 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: If you know the guys good. We definitely know the 320 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: guy's good, we want to keep them, but that's not 321 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: the way the league works. And John Snyder was like Mike, 322 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: I watched all these shows you're on on ESPN and 323 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: every former player is like, just pay them. He's like, well, yeah, 324 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: no shit. If we could just pay everybody and there 325 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: was no salary cap, most of the big time teams, 326 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: their salary you know they're setling for salaries would be 327 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: much higher. They would be spending way more money keeping players, 328 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: but you're not allowed to do that. Like, do I 329 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: think the Eagles want to get rid of Dallas Goddard? No? 330 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: Do I think that they have to make some sort 331 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: of financial move, Yes, And I also think he's got 332 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: value because we know a team like the Chargers they 333 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: need an offensive weapon. I think teams like I think 334 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna see teams what about the Chiefs, they got 335 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: an aging tight end. Now again, financially does it work? 336 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: This stuff is not easy? And then they're gonna be 337 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: teams that missed the playoffs last year who are bullish 338 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: on their chances moving forward, And we'll sniff around. Now, 339 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: are they getting much of value for god Her? I 340 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: think they would be lucky to get a third round 341 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: pick given that. I'm sure he's gonna want a contract 342 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: extension in the next year or two and he's already 343 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: an expensive player. But I do think he's gonna have 344 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: a market based on the teams that hopefully draft the 345 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: tight end in this draft aren't able to because when 346 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: they picked the guys off the board, So Dallas Goddard 347 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: will be on another team pretty soon. Some rule changes 348 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL over time, which you know Andy Reid's 349 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: been beating this drum forever, will change for moving forward 350 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: that in the regular season, like the playoffs, both teams 351 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: will get the opportunity to possess the ball. Cool, I'm in. 352 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: I think we all agree that's fair. You either got 353 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: to do sudden death or you got to go all in. 354 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: They can both get to touch it. You can't do 355 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: well if we kick a field goal, then you get 356 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: a chance. But if we score a touchdown like that 357 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: that they were trying to have their cake and eat 358 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: it too. That was kind of bullshit. Like to me, 359 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: if you're gonna have you either do sudden death, it's 360 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: kind of like the luck of the coin flip, and 361 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: then if you score a field goal, touchdown, whatever safety, 362 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: game's over or both teams get to touch the ball. 363 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: And that's the way moving forward, which I'm cool with. 364 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: If you go on the internet, a piece of wisdom 365 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: the older folks often give is learn to code kids, 366 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: because technology has taken out all of our jobs. AI 367 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: is coming well. The NFL will no longer be dependent 368 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: on the chain gang. They will use a camera technology 369 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: to now determine first downs. But the chain gang crew 370 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: who stands there with the first down marker and that 371 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: the other you know, part of the chain will still 372 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: be on the sideline. So no one, this isn't Woody Johnson. 373 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: We're not giving golden parachutes here. We're not firing the 374 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: chain gang all over the NFL. But they will no 375 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: longer be in charge of determining first downs, second downs, 376 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: down in distance throughout the game. So we have camera 377 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: technology now coming into play. This is what Belichick's and 378 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: banging the drum forever, you know, camera technology, goal line technology. 379 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: The NFL is like, okay, we're making some profits. We'll 380 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: start paying a little money here, and the touchback as 381 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: well will go from the thirty to the thirty five 382 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: yard line. It feels like they're very bullish and feeling 383 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: themselves on this new off rule, which again I'm not 384 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: opposed to it. Don't love it, but definitely don't hate it. 385 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: Kind of just like, yeah, it's cool, like it's in theory. 386 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: It should have given a lot more action. They love 387 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: saying like way less injuries, Like I don't know if 388 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: the consumer cares that much. I just want action, and 389 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: we definitely got a little bit more of it. But 390 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: I didn't want to end on this because Chasing Challengers 391 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: brought to you by Microsoft. In the NFL, just like 392 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: in the business world, overcoming obstacles is key to success. 393 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: Microsoft empowers business decision makers with AI solutions, simplified cloud 394 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: in data management, and trustworthy reasonable technology to turn challenges 395 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: into opportunities. In this segment, we explore some of the 396 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: biggest challenges being faced in the NFL and how they 397 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: can be overcome. Whatever challenge you're facing, Microsoft empowers you 398 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: with the expertise to say bring it on. This week, 399 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: we're discussing the challenge faced by the entire league, the 400 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: Tush push. Every single person has a strong opinion it 401 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: should be banned, we should keep it. It's a football play. 402 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: I saw Matt Lafleur hates the play, wants it gone. 403 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: And then there are people like Jim Harbaugh and Mike 404 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: Vrabel that are like, I'm for it. If you can 405 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: run it and execute it. It's on the other team 406 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: to stop it. Howie Roseman got up in the meeting 407 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: today and said, can you show me the data where 408 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: there are more injuries because of this play? And there 409 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: was no data because there haven't been any more injuries. 410 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: Now there's a tough spot for the NFL because I 411 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: think ideally they would not want to play that is 412 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: just automatic. And for the most part, I know they've 413 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: been stopped by Vitavea once or twice, but when they 414 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: line up in the toush push, unlike every play in 415 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: the NFL, it feels like a guarantee that it's either 416 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: gonna be a first down or a touchdown. And I think, 417 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: in its heart of hearts, from an entertainment perspective, the 418 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: NFL like if they could just choose and no one 419 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: would be pissed off. They would just make the play disappear. 420 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: But like Howie and the Eagles have a fair point. Look, 421 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: anyone else can do this. You just don't happen to 422 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: have a quarterback that squats six hundred pounds and because 423 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: of his body type, is lower to the ground and 424 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: can get low and disappears in the play and forever. 425 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: It was like, Wow, you just got the best center. 426 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: Then he fucking retired and the play didn't skip a beat. 427 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: I watched Josh Allen in the playoffs against the Chiefs 428 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: running short yardage quarterback sneaks. He's one of the biggest, strongest, 429 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: most athletic quarterbacks we've ever seen. He got stuff like 430 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: four to five times. So, like I lean, like I understand, 431 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: But this is clearly of all the controversies in the 432 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: NFL right now, and there's a lot of them constantly, 433 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: this feels like one that a lot of people are 434 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: very emotional about. And I don't think this would be 435 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: a big deal if this was the Jags or the 436 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins or the Arizona Cardinals. But it's a team 437 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: that's been in the Super Bowl two of the last 438 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: three years and just kick the Chiefs ass on Super Sunday. 439 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: So the Eagles are finding out when you're the big dog, 440 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: everyone comes at you. We saw it forever with the Patriots. 441 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: People are just gunning for you, and they're gonna be 442 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: teams like the Packers. Well, what do they have in 443 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: common with the Eagles? They played them and what happened? 444 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: They lost in the playoffs, they can't stop the play 445 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: So I think there's a tough one for Roger because 446 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: he's just letting the teams decide and they get to 447 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: vote on it. But it's like a lot of people 448 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: are up in arms. And my ultimate take is anyone 449 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: can do it and do I like watching it just 450 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: as an independent fan of football, Like if it disappeared tomorrow, 451 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: I wouldn't think about it again the rest of my life. 452 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: But from just what's fair is fair? Anyone could do it. 453 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: No one steals plays and steals information like football people, 454 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 1: especially coaches that's constantly stealing other people's stuff off. Philm 455 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: and the Eagles have been putting this on film now 456 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: for three plus years. So if you want to do it, 457 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: you could just do every cutup of every time they 458 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: run it and install it with your own team. And 459 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: I would imagine some teas have tried and they don't 460 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: feel comfortable doing it. Their guy's not good enough doing it. 461 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: Hel Patrick Mahomes one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, 462 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: after he hurt his knee on a quarterback sneak like 463 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: they don't love quarterbacks sneak in him. So now on 464 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 1: short yarded situations like they do rollouts and stuff because 465 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: they don't want to put him in a compromise situation. 466 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: But I just think this situation is not going away. 467 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: And this is when you have this multi billion dollar 468 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: league with a lot of big egos and a lot 469 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: of big personalities. These are the type problems when you 470 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: rog in the league office that you got to deal 471 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: with and clearly they just tabled it. It's not gonna 472 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 1: go away. That's this week's Chasing challenges.

Get your questions answered right here on the podcast. 480 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: We will start with Matt All. This talk about the 481 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,719 Speaker 1: tush push brings me back to Brady in the Quarterback Sneak. 482 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: We hear how the Eagles and Hurts are uniquely built 483 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: for this play, But how was a quarterback so automatic 484 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: like Brady, he isn't uniquely strong, fast or tall. Brady's 485 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: six huge, But I hear what you're saying. Maybe the 486 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: better question is why do other quarterbacks? Why are they 487 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: so bad at it? I saw Vrabel came into my 488 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: YouTube algorithm. He was on like a you know, one 489 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: of the local shows on Boston radio, The Big the 490 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: Sports Hub or whatever, ninety eight five, and I watched 491 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: his interview and he mentioned that one thing that Tom 492 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: was so good at is like he could hit like 493 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: three or four gaps. You know, he would see wherever 494 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: you weren't and he would attack that gap. Like the 495 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: touch push is the same every time. Right, they are 496 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: just shoving you forward and he's going I think it's 497 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: fair to say. I mean, I've never broken it down 498 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: on the All twenty two, but just in a vertical 499 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: straight line forward. Maybe he moves a little bit left 500 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: or right, but it's just it's a push forward Tom, 501 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: like Josh Allen tried to do in the AFC Championship game, 502 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: is like picking lanes, and historically that's kind of what 503 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: you did. Like if a dude was shaded over the 504 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,239 Speaker 1: center and shaded over the right guard, and you had 505 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: a little angle to the left guard, you would fire 506 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: to the left side or vice versa. I don't know. 507 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: I mean Tom was just a lead at it. Some 508 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,239 Speaker 1: people just have certain skills and are comfortable doing it. 509 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it's there's a push off element. Tom is also 510 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: Tom is tall, I mean Tom is six'. Five SO 511 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: i think some People, MAHOMES i, mean they just don't 512 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: even run. It SO i don't have a great answer for. You, 513 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: beside LIKE i do think the reason people don't just 514 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: one copy the push, Push like IF i Have Jared 515 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: goff Or Patrick mahomes or some of these quarterbacks who 516 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: Like Jared goff is not you're not gonna want to 517 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: put him like that low. One he. Can't he's tall as, 518 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: well but like he might be liable to get. Hurt you. 519 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: Know part of what Makes jalen unique is kind of 520 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: his body. Type he's like the Bigger he's a little 521 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: bigger version of Like Russell. Wilson Russell wilson in his 522 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: heyday would have been good at the toush. PUSH i would. 523 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: Guess so's it's harder For Peyton manning Or Philip rivers 524 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: to get that. Low it's crazy how big of a 525 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: topic The toush pushes has. Become And i'll keep saying. 526 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: This the torpedo. Bats someone hit me Like judge isn't using? 527 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: Them like, Listen I'M i enjoy The. Yankees i'm not 528 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: anti The. Yankees i'm. Entertained, honestly like two baseball teams 529 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: like kind of loosely followed The yankees And dodgers just 530 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: because you just want to see the best. Teams. Uh 531 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: BUT i guess he's not using the torpedo. Bat but 532 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: the dude on the On cincinnati used the torpedo bat 533 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: On monday night had like seven RBIs and went four for. 534 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: Five i'm pro the torpedo. Bat i'm not anti the torpedo. Bat. 535 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: YEAH i don't even know what WHY i brought the torpedo. 536 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: Back but question for the. Bag THE nc DOUBLE a 537 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: is so opposed to having student athletes be, employees even 538 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: though every university employee employees students for several non athletic campus. 539 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: Functions why doesn't THE NC doublea allow college athletes to 540 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: be employees of the university with contracts that stipulate classroom 541 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: attendance and other specific. Terms is it simply because THE 542 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: NC doublea doesn't want universities to provide health insurance and other. 543 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: Benefits seems like most of the nil sketchiness we're seeing 544 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: is because there are no. Rules but in my, opinion 545 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: having contracts would solve the vast majority of the. ISSUES 546 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: i don't pretend to be LIKE ncublea revenue share like 547 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: a master on this, topic but health. Insurance IF i 548 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: shatter my leg playing For wisconsin or playing FOR ucla or, 549 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: whatever ruined my, shoulder ruin my, ELBOW i get surgery 550 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: on their. Dime so the program ensures. Me let's assume 551 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: like MY, I i don't even have. Parents my grandparents raise, 552 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: me and they don't have health insurance. Either the school 553 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: covers me as a collegiate. ATHLETE i think their, issue 554 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: the schools, issue like the title nine, thing is kind 555 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: of the elephant in the. Room you, know you couldn't 556 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: just employ the football players and not employ the soccer 557 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: players and the softball. PLAYERS i, mean it's just it 558 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: becomes this weird situation of, legalities which, again LIKE i 559 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: don't feel that comfortable talking, about BUT i know they. 560 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: EXIST i saw them At President, state the softball coach 561 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: WHEN i was there in two thousand and eight and 562 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine had sued the school and was one, 563 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: of if not the highest paid softball coaches in the 564 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: country at the. Time she's making like four hundred, grand 565 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: like eight because she had sued the school For title nine. 566 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: Violations the basketball Coach Stacy Johnson, clin who was a 567 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:13,959 Speaker 1: good looking woman she actually had been, fired had sued 568 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: the school because she claimed like the ad had like 569 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: touched her in a car wash and had got like 570 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: ten plus million. Dollars so The title nine situation can 571 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:30,959 Speaker 1: be very financially limiting if you screw something up like 572 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: you can be forced to pay a lot of money 573 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: in situations that you don't don't like the softball coach 574 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: making four hundred grand At President state in two thousand and, 575 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: NINE i mean it's, insane but Like title, nine she got. 576 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: It The Stacy Johnson, clin the basketball. Coach you, know 577 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: there were a lot of different opinions on what actually, 578 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: Happened but what did happen is she won a lawsuit 579 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: for a lot of. Money Is Matt ryan A hall Of? 580 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: QUARTERBACK i think anyone who says no is. Crazy Pro 581 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: Football focus. Agrees if you look at Their hall Of fame, 582 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: rating but here's, why and then he just rattles OFF mvp, 583 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: award has ONE Mvp award equal To, Lway brito And Terry. 584 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: Bradshaw First Team All pro selection achieved in, sixteen surpassed 585 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 1: legends Like, Elway, aikman And Warn moon career passer rating 586 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: higher than far Of, Montana, Roethlisberger, warner And aikman touchdown 587 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: to interception rationing and just rattles. Off WHEN i close 588 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: my eyes AND i Think Matt, ryan DO i Think 589 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: hall Of? Fame and, again my standards are really, high 590 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: like WHEN i Think hall Of, Fame Brady, Manning, Rogers Ray, 591 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 1: lewis Ed, Reid Adrian, peterson like the greatest players of all, 592 00:34:51,440 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: Time Trent, williams La Danian, townlinson like Just Dion, Sanders Reggie, 593 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:08,439 Speaker 1: White Lawrence, Taylor Joe, Montana Jerry, rice like those are 594 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: the type GUYS i think. About and MAYBE i have 595 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: too high of a of kind of like my threshold 596 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: is way higher than. Some Matt ryan is a phenomenal, 597 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: player and like he falls under the you, Know Cam 598 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: newton's one year was more of an outlier relative to 599 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: most of his. Career BUT i do Think Matt ryan 600 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: And Cam newton both like they had this REMARKABLE mvp 601 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: season and they led a team to a Super bowl 602 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: and then they. LOST i do think if they had 603 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: won the Super, bowl like won THE mvp and then 604 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: won the Super, bowl it's like you do stuff like, 605 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: that it's, like, Yeah hall Of. FAMER i think when 606 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: you lose that, game fair or, not it can kind 607 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: of rattle your. Candidacy it's hard to Do Pro bowls 608 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: and he, played you, know in an arrow with in 609 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: THE Nfc rogers really his entire, time And breeze and 610 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: Then Russell. Wilson SO I i just have high. Standards 611 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: i'm not Anti Mount, ryan AND i Respect Mount ryan's, 612 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: game but my first reaction is. No BUT i think 613 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,760 Speaker 1: the same for a lot of players in his. Era Philip, 614 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: rivers you, Know eli's tough because he did have those two. 615 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,919 Speaker 1: Seasons AND i just used the, example BUT eli wasn't 616 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: winning THE. Mvp to, me IF eli had AN mvp 617 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: be a no. Brainer BUT i understand the arguments on both. 618 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: Sides longtime coffee, amember everyone says That Josh allen is 619 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: an all time, talent no. Argument people also claim that 620 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: Day ball is the one who Fixed. Josh what are 621 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: the chances the majority of people are incorrect in their 622 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: assessment Of Brian. Dabole i'm not saying he's necessarily a bad, 623 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: coach but it seems to me that he got more 624 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: good coach credits transferred from working with an all time 625 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: talent In Josh allen than the bad coach credits for 626 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: sucking consistently with The. Giants josh likely would have figured it, 627 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 1: out it just happened to be With, daball and the 628 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: year Day ball went to the, playoffs dj had fifteen, 629 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: touchdowns five, interceptions and seven rushing, touchdowns not exactly killing. 630 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: IT i do understand that he Maximized Daniel, jones BUT 631 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: i can't help but Think allen Saved, daball and not 632 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: sure the other way. AROUND i think the reason he 633 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: gets a lot of credit With Josh allen is because 634 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: when The bills Drafted Josh, allen it was an extremely controversial. 635 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: Pick he was not very good in. College, now, granted 636 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 1: he played At wyoming and his last year there they 637 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,280 Speaker 1: had lost a bunch of skill, guys so his team 638 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 1: wasn't as. Good but coming out of college he was 639 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: his two seasons starting At wyoming fifty six percent fifty six. 640 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: Percent he had a pretty solid twenty sixteen season with 641 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: twenty eight, touchdowns but he threw fifteen, interceptions and then 642 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: his senior year he threw sixteen. Touchdowns SO i just 643 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: think it's not it looked like he got a. Project 644 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: and this is the best part or the most fascinating 645 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 1: part about arguing this. Stuff we'll never, know like Is 646 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes Patrick mahomes if some random, coach If Todd 647 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: bowles gets, HIM i Don't Robert sali gets. HIM i don't. 648 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: KNOW i think it's fair to say he would not 649 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: have won't rattled off all The Super. Bowls but does 650 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: he win A Super? Bowl Would Josh allen been great 651 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: no matter where he? GOES i don't know the answer to. 652 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: That could you make the argument That Josh allen Made 653 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: brian Da ball BECAUSE i Saw brian Day ball coach 654 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: a lot of offenses before he got To buffalo and 655 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 1: it was not. Pretty, now maybe he learned in his 656 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: one stint From, Saban BUT i don't have a great 657 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: answer for. You, besides, LIKE i don't, know one thing's. 658 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 1: Clear Josh allen is now a dominant, player and anyone 659 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,800 Speaker 1: who coaches him is going to get a lot of. 660 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 1: Credit But brian day ball IS i think he was 661 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: asked today On tuesday that if he'll call plays and 662 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 1: he still didn't have an. Answer he's just the. Giant 663 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 1: situation has just been. Weird it really has Huge charger 664 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: FAN a lot of people talk about The chargers need. Weapons, 665 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: WELL i. AGREE i look at the new regime as 666 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 1: building through their, identity build inside. OUT i see you 667 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 1: Say jim was never going to pay thirty million dollars 668 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 1: for a. Receiver my question is what is your viewpoint 669 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: on the value of weapon Pieces after the interior is, 670 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 1: built can a lesser of talented player be evaluated to 671 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: a superstar level with strong foundation built? First the most 672 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: popular example is The. Lions, WELL i do believe, that 673 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: like when you build a great offensive, line if you 674 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 1: hit on a solid running, back he's gonna look way. 675 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,919 Speaker 1: BETTER i would have. BET i would Imagine Najie harris 676 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: has a good. SEASON i would guess they draft a 677 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: running back with their first three or four. Picks i'd 678 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: be a little shocked if that guy's not. Good so 679 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: it's much easier to be a running back behind a 680 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: good offensive line than a bad. One look At saquan 681 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: BUT i would say, that you, know part of having 682 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: great wide receivers is like if you don't throw it 683 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: all the, time who really? Cares Like Jim harbone wants 684 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,280 Speaker 1: to run the. Ball he wants to run the, ball 685 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: slow down the, game and play defense what he's been 686 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: doing for fifteen plus years At stanford forty Nine ers In. 687 00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: Michigan so like having Dk metcalf and allocating that much 688 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: money to one player feels like a misuse of funds 689 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: and misuse of. Resources it's why he doesn't usually do. 690 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,760 Speaker 1: It like to, me The chargers need tight end running. 691 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: Back question for the, mailback what are your thoughts On 692 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: shrager leaving THE nfl? Network are you? FRIENDS i wouldn't 693 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: call him a, friend BUT i know.

It how much stock do 724 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: you put in cold WEATHER nfl, Teams, Bill's, Pats, packers. 725 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 1: Etc put into players that came from cold weather. Schools 726 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: it's a good. QUESTION i think it matters at. Quarterback you, 727 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: know if you take a guy To New, england or 728 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: you take a guy To philly and they don't have 729 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: a strong arm and don't function well in inclement weather 730 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: Or New york Or, pittsburgh it's gonna be. Difficult it 731 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 1: is dramatically easier to play your home games In Los 732 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: angeles Or San francisco or a dome than it is 733 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:44,280 Speaker 1: in freezing cold. Conditions can you imagine Playing Kansas city 734 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: home games In. December it's gonna be hard to have 735 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,919 Speaker 1: a week arm. Now Alex smith like they could kind 736 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: of manage, it but it was difficult and they had. 737 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 1: LIMITATIONS i think when it comes to other, positions like 738 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 1: tough guys, Translate like if you're a, tough physical linebacker 739 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: and you played AT usc Or, texas you're gonna be, okay, 740 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,760 Speaker 1: right same with guards and d tackles and. Corners that's 741 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: where the scouting aspect of your, football character of your 742 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 1: personality come into. Play like it's not it's not anyone's. 743 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: Fault you play At. ALABAMA a lot of guys From 744 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: alabama have gone on to cold weather cities have been 745 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 1: just fine Or georgia Or. FLORIDA i think it's much 746 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: more difficult for, quarterbacks especially arm. STRENGTH i, mean if 747 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 1: you play like it's hard to play In chicago if 748 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: you have a weak. Arm part of the reason they 749 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,320 Speaker 1: Love caleb he has a. Hose it gets fucking windy 750 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: and cold. There you're not gonna be throwing eighty miles 751 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 1: an hour In. Excel you've got to have a. FASTBALL i, 752 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: mean who's look at The. Packers there's a reason the 753 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,280 Speaker 1: last three quarterbacks big. Arms you need, It Josh Allen 754 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: baltimore Or, buffaloe cold inclement. Weather lamar has a pretty good. 755 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: Arm SO i think it's more personality for most, positions you, know, 756 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: receivers if you get a little bit of a. Diva but, 757 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 1: again Like Deshaun jackson was From la played a cow 758 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 1: and went To philly and was just. FINE i think 759 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: for most, positions it's a pretty easy. Transition plus your. 760 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 1: Body you, Know i've been living In arizona for a. 761 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: While The barrier is just much. Colder people Say california great. 762 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: Weather The barry does not have great. Weather they talk 763 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: about Northern california like it's Southern. California it is. Not 764 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: San francisco's freezing. COLD i Think Mark twain said the 765 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: coldest day of the year is a summer In San. 766 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: Francisco summer night In San. Francisco it's a cold. Place 767 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 1: so like you kind of adapt your surroundings Because i've been, 768 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: Here like it's sixty degrees or, UNDER i get really. 769 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: Cold not THAT i ever truly embraced, it but when 770 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,720 Speaker 1: you live In philly you kind of get a little 771 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: more used to the. Cold but if you have small, 772 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 1: hands a weak, ARM i don't care how mentally and 773 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:07,359 Speaker 1: physically tough you, are they're just. Limitations Lifelong bears, FAN 774 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: i know you've gotten a lot of mailback questions About, 775 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: kalb but here's one. MORE i completely agree with your 776 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: outlook on. Him next year will be a big tale 777 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 1: about his. Future last year is tough to. Judge him 778 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: and how he'll be as AN nfl quarterback because of 779 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 1: the lack of the team's competitiveness and maybe the worst 780 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: coaching staff of all. Time i've seen a few, worse 781 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: but it's. Bad i've heard you say he was getting 782 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 1: all his stats in the second half of games that 783 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: were already. Over it's definitely. True but on multiple, occasions 784 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 1: during one score games against The, commanders The packers and 785 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 1: The vikings forced, overtime and The thanksgiving game against The, 786 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 1: lions he was able to drive the ball down the 787 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 1: field in the fourth quarter and fell short due to 788 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: his team or coaching staff letting him. Down can we 789 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 1: start being fair when talking about the guy who has 790 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: shown flashes of a late game clutch. GENE i don't 791 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,000 Speaker 1: think anyone's shitting on. Him i'm just the guy presented 792 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 1: his stats of his touchdowns in his yards AND i 793 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 1: just said a lot of those who were accumulated down 794 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 1: a lot of. SCORES i mean That lions game when 795 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,319 Speaker 1: Eber flues fucked him by not calling the time. OUT 796 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: i forget the exact, score BUT i, mean was it 797 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 1: like twenty four to nothing and a half twenty eight? 798 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: NOTHING i mean it was a. Blowout SO i think 799 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 1: when you're in those, moments you get to accumulate a 800 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: lot of. Stats because the team, loses the other team loses. 801 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 1: Focus especially by, then everyone viewed The bears as. Terrible 802 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: Now i'm with. You once the game becomes, tight you 803 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:37,719 Speaker 1: either got to make the plays or you.

PICK i personally think The 903 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,839 Speaker 1: bear should be aggressive and move up to Get Abdull. Carter, 904 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,800 Speaker 1: OTHERWISE i think they should Draft Tyler warren Or. GENTY 905 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,360 Speaker 1: i think draft in a running back tenth overall is. 906 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:58,720 Speaker 1: NUTS i think that's pretty. CRAZY i really. Do people 907 00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 1: Think i'm a hater on the.

Lineman look who you're playing great, 911 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 1: offenses right you have to assume The bear is going 912 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 1: to be much better on. Offense you got to assume 913 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 1: The lions are going to be, explosive and they got 914 00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:24,120 Speaker 1: sweet players, everywhere And minnesota has incredible players and a rookie. 915 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 1: QUARTERBACK i would want to hit the quarterback as many 916 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,880 Speaker 1: times as they. Could and if they're a defensive, linemen 917 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,000 Speaker 1: like you, Said Abdul carter be. Awesome you're not gonna 918 00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 1: get him unless he has major medical issues in he. 919 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: Falls but he's going two or, three AND i would 920 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,879 Speaker 1: not trade up to two or. THREE i would just take, 921 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 1: Whoever Jalen, walker whoever the best defensive lineman is on the. 922 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,319 Speaker 1: Board that's probably WHAT i would do IF i was The. 923 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 1: Bears you, KNOW i think the thing With Tyler warren 924 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:56,360 Speaker 1: is he obviously is his size is pretty.
