WEBVTT - Eagles IMPLODING? DESPERATE Chiefs face RED-HOT Lions, Yankees-Blue Jays reaction | Nick Wright NFL 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:05.240 Welcome in We're Driving the Great Episode three seventy six. 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.879 As always, this episode is presented to you by boost 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.680 Mobile a ton to do. As Major League Baseball playoffs 0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:18.120 are in full swing. I was in attendance for Game 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:24.560 three Yankees Blue Jays and listen, I gotta say that 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.720 Judge home run. And credit to the Blue Jays, they 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.880 were the better team all series. They dominated the Yankees 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.680 in that series. They deserve to move on. But that 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:40.680 Judge home run was one of the most electric in 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.320 person moments I've ever been a part of. And I 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.800 didn't even like I didn't have an investment in the 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.600 game except the fact that if the Yankees won, I 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.600 got the next day off from work because we were preempted. 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:58.440 But him coming through in that moment and oddly demonse, 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:07.440 it made me feel like you should feel better about 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:12.480 one day Lamar having a similar postseason moment. 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.959 For real, like, just make it all that much sweeter. 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.640 Yeah, Judge had been has been in a his It's 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:27.520 not an over exaggeration to say a historically great regular 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:32.440 season player with the numbers and the accolades to back 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:37.240 that up. Truly one of the greatest players of not 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.040 just his generation, but any generation. He's in that class 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.720 who had year in year out, played some of his 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:49.320 worst baseball in the postseason. And I understand for the Yankees, 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.400 you know, it's another year without a World Series sixteen. 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.440 Now it's it's a year where they, you know, don't 0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:00.400 even make the ALCS as a team. It's disappointing. But 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.520 Judge was phenomenal start to finish of this playoff run, 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.840 and that three run bomb to tie the game and 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.320 keep their season alive was all time. It was really 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.480 really all time. We're gonna obviously spend a lot of 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.720 time today on Week six in the NFL. Tomorrow we 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:26.560 will get into our gambling show, where again the story 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.040 of our gambling show this season has been I go 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.880 two and three every week, Demande hits his teaser every week. Sadly, 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:39.480 that's basically I haven't quite gone two and three every week. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.119 I went three and two once or twice. But I've 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:48.440 been doing decidedly below mediocre, and Demonte's been crushing on 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.160 the teasers, including a teaser that he didn't actually put 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.440 on the show, but he did bet so really he's 0:02:55.639 --> 0:03:00.280 five and one on these ridiculous eight points. I ain't 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:05.560 three teamers that he just can't lose on. Also, I 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.880 am not yet ready to dive in to the NBA. 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:15.560 I know preseason's going on, and that also means I 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:20.280 am not going to even though this will make our 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.840 YouTube overlords very unhappy and some of the data and 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:31.160 analytics people in charge of this pod unhappy because this 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:36.200 would do numbers, But I just don't have the time, energy, 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:40.840 or urge right now to respond to the single most 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:46.520 high profile person in sports media saying paraphrasing essentially, but 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:51.080 saying that if a forty soon to be forty one 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.200 year old player in year twenty three has a bad game, 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.480 I'm going to assume he might be drunk. I'm not 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:06.760 going to entertain that commentary. And I did funny thing 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.920 real quick before we get into the full show. So 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.120 the whole bit demonse that I did about how anybody 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:20.800 being fooled by Lebron's tweet was a dope. I was 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.760 on Lebotard show yesterday and he asked me about it, 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.000 and I basically did the same bit that Lebron's tweet 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:33.960 was an IQ test that you if you got fooled 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:39.040 by it, you're a dummy. And what I didn't know 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:48.440 was that Lebotard had been oh, this whole I go, 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:53.719 I do this whole brand. And then Dan just very calmly, 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:58.000 he's like, well, he's like, so Nick's calling me an 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.840 idiot to my face, and I and listen, Dan's the greatest. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.400 I have great relationship for him. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:07.039 No, I love him, but I think and he's a 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:11.200 good enough sport. I think he thought I knew that 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.039 I was talking about him, but I didn't know I 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:18.840 was talking about generals. I would have been a little 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.320 nicer with it, or I would have attempted to be 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.120 funnier with it and directly make fun of him in 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.440 a lighthearted way. Instead, I just very matter of factly, 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.040 was like, if you thought he was announcing his retirement, 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.400 I don't think you're a very smart person. And then 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.360 after I got done saying that, Dan was like, well, 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.279 I was one of those people. So that wasn't great. 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.640 But we recovered. All right, let's get to straight. The 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:46.240 voicemail brought to you by boost Mobile. Jonathan Gannon find 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:51.120 one hundred grand for hitting de Marcado on the sideline. 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.240 Jerry Jones find quarter of a million dollars for his 0:05:55.279 --> 0:06:00.720 obscene gesture people are gonna look at those as portionate. 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.520 The Yeah, and Jerry was like I tried to go 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:05.080 thumbs up. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:06.040 I went middle finger. 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:11.320 The problem is there is a precedent owner. Oddly, there 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.719 is a we have been through the owner flipping off 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.599 fans thing. It was Bud Adams with the Titans like 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.280 fifteen years ago. So the fine was a quarter of 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.520 a million then, so it's got to be a quarter 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.279 of a million now. It also kind of means Jerry 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.159 got off cheap because of inflation and all that stuff. 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:34.960 I do. We didn't really talk much much about it. 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:42.960 The Jonathan Gannon thing. To me, I I don't think 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:44.960 i'd fire him because of it, so I think one 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.120 hundred k is the right amount. But I did think 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.840 it was a terrible look and I do wonder how 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.840 correct how the locker room he's gonna respond and the Yannest. 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.560 Here's what I'll say about the Yiannis trade rumors. Quickly. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.640 Did you see the report about his family? 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.560 Yeah, like they went back, they want to go back 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.600 to Athens. His wife preferred to be out there. 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.640 His wife and kids are going to live in Athens. 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:18.640 Yeah, that was not to me. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:27.400 An unrelated story to Yanni's potentially leaving Milwaukee. 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.560 And playing in his hometown. 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:34.000 No, no, no, no, no, In that I listen, I'm 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:39.000 sure Yannis is spread in Athens is sick, and Athens 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.000 is you know, I've never been to Greece, but I've 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.920 kind of nothing but amazing things about how beautiful it 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.880 is and the weather and the food and the people 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:52.840 all that. So I'm sure it's great. But do I 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:58.560 think that his you know, Kevin O'Connor pointed out that 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:04.800 the only US city with direct flights to Athens is 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.680 New York City. I think it's Newark. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:07.480 It might be JFK. 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.200 But either way that that's something. But do I also 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:18.480 think that is that are there may be American cities 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:24.720 that provide more of the things Athens provides than Milwaukee. 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.400 That if Jannis we're playing in the family would be 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.760 back there because this is the NBA season, buddy, is long, 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:37.679 and to have your wife and four young children halfway 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:42.840 around the world is enrolled in school over there, that's jarring. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:48.280 And so I found that story to be a kind 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:53.360 of tied to Jannie's potential future in Milwaukee, Like I. 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.440 Think that always has them on eggshells over there in Milwaukee. 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.559 I feel like he's. 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:03.440 Correct, but and like he also seems like a real 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:08.200 family guy. Yeah, and if he was borderline unhappy in 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:12.400 Milwaukee already, how is it going to play now that 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:18.000 he's after practice just going home by himself. Like, that's 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.600 a tough one. And so that is to me something 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:26.960 to watch, all right. Reminder everybody like grate subscribe, subscribe 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.199 review to the pod. Also, one last thing for it, 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.679 we get to the Belichick thing. I was going to 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.360 give you this compliment privately, but I'm gonna give it 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.760 to you publicly, and privately i'll give you more details 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:44.480 on it. I watched a pod recently I'm not gonna 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.200 name names here, privately I will, and it had a 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:54.800 very similar dynamic where there was the main host whose 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.640 name is on it, who is the person that people know, 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.320 and then the person who sets things up plays in 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:06.440 your role seemingly was either friends or family. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:07.479 With the host. 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.679 Okay, like you know that that's the connection. And I've 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:15.920 actually now seen two pods like this, but one in particular. 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:24.400 And if you have any insecurity or whatever about how 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.000 good of a job you are or aren't doing, I'm 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.600 gonna have you watch this other pod. You're crushing it, 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:36.600 bro compared to your compared to your contemporaries, the people 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:40.840 in the same role who like got put on because like, hey, 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.040 the guy who's show it is wants to do it 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.960 with them. Like if those are if those aren't, Just 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.719 like I've talked about my media rivals, If those are 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.040 your rivals, you're killing the game. So feel good about it. 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.880 Pale all right, like Brass Tribe review to the pod 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.240 before we get to NFL Week six, I want to 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.160 talk about Bill Belichick. Let's get to it. 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.120 So, Yeah, things have not been going well over there 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.360 in u NC for Bill Belichick. They are off to 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.400 a two and three start, and there's even talks of 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.560 the documentary being canceled, but I think that's actually canceled. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.319 And there's there's other talks of Bill Belichick initiating his 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.520 own million million dollar buyout. You wanted to talk about this. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.120 Things are looking rough for Bill. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:27.440 Yeah, so listen. I think that it is noteworthy what 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.480 Ali Connolly is saying. So you guys might be like, 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.920 who is Oli Connolly? People that listen to NFL Daily 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:40.400 Greg Rosenthal's Great Pod are familiar with Ali Connolly He 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.320 also has a sub stack in a newsletter called The 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.840 Read Optional. I think he also is involved in some 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.200 of in but he's in the UK. 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:51.400 He's a. 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:54.600 He's in the UK. I don't know if he's British. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.800 If he's Irish, I'm not sure. I think he's British. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.600 I know that that's one you don't want to get wrong. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.880 My apologies regardless. The reason I am mentioning it is 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.920 he was the guy who broke Belichick to North Carolina, 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:12.120 and people initially like one of the reasons they it 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:17.520 didn't get taken as gospel initially was because it's like, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:21.319 why is this guy in the UK breaking this story? 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:27.839 But he had it first by a lot. So he 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:33.480 then yesterday sent out the following tweet thread that I 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:37.200 want to read to the audience again. The guy who 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:44.160 first had Belichick to Carolina told us this. Bill Belichick 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:49.839 has discussed buyout options with North Carolina's hierarchy. Belichick has 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:54.040 signaled a willingness to trigger his own million dollar buyout 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.439 if he can find a soft landing with another team 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:02.559 or in media he goes on. Members of Belichick's coaching 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:07.240 staff have already spoken to other schools that are expected 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.600 to be in the College Football Playoff about taking on 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:15.800 roles during the postseason. From one coach quote, the rats 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:20.240 are leaving the ship end quote. Some staffers believe a 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:27.079 change will come within two weeks. Reports of serious recruiting 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:32.600 violations remain under investigation at UNC. Recruiting and practice violations 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.800 have already been proven by the school, according to multiple sources, 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.959 Using recruiting violations to knock down a coach's buyout has 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.600 become a standard practice. If Belichick cannot find a landing 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.800 spot to trigger his own buyout, he's expected to accept 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:52.280 a greatly reduced compromised rate. More on that in a second. 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:56.239 I'll explain it. Belichick's community Back to Dolly Connolly. Belichick's 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.600 communication with his staff in the past two weeks has 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.600 been described as weird and distant by multiple members of 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:06.520 UNC's coaching staff. Multiple coaches were unable to get a 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:10.840 hold of him during un c's bye week last week. 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.960 From one UNC defensive assistant, what we've done to these 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:20.600 kids is eft up end of tweet threat. So let 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.920 me just give a little explanation about the buyout stuff, 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:30.080 so people understand. If Belichick gets fired, they owe him 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:34.600 like twenty million. If Belichick leaves on his own accord 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:41.160 one thought, potentially for another job, they Belichick or whoever's 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:46.080 hiring him has to pay one million. What Ali is 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.920 reporting is that it is now on the board that 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:56.920 Belichick pays that million himself just to bounce, just to 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:02.120 be out of there, or if that doesn't happen, if 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.200 he doesn't have you know, like they said soft landing, 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.800 that he agrees to a greatly reduced number off that 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.840 twenty million. But what Ali Connelly is reporting, the too 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:18.120 long didn't read version is this thing's already over If 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:23.400 you already have coaches talking about who they're going to 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:29.920 coach this year's playoffs, it's over there. And that would 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:37.080 be we have talked about like can Belichick, is it fair? 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:42.320 Can your legacy ever go backwards? In sports? Right? Like 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:50.280 all Let's say bron was in year twenty five and 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.480 averaged three points a game and was terrible, Like, would 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.320 that be fair to hold against him? And my general 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:04.840 rule has always been you shouldn't. You should not be 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:10.200 penalized for continuing to do something if like, if your 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.040 legacy was here, I'm putting my hand if you're listening, 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:17.760 up to my eyebrows, basically, and if you quit, it 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.840 was going to end there. Then continuing to play your coach. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.920 It doesn't necessarily have to raise it, but you shouldn't 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:30.400 go backwards, right. There are rare instances, though, where it 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:35.720 feels like people do go backwards. I think Russell Wilson 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.440 posts Seattle. I think he went backwards a little. I 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:44.240 think of Russell Wilson after when Seattle had said I'm retiring, 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.760 and we never saw him be bad. We never saw 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.200 him on awful teams, We never saw teams repeatedly move 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.800 on from him. We would hold him in a probably 0:16:54.280 --> 0:17:01.320 higher light. For Belichick, for the the thing at Carolina. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:07.199 I didn't think he needed to be great there. But 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.200 the fact that they are yet to beat a Power 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:18.359 five school. The three legitimate teams they've played have beaten 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:22.720 them by an average of twenty six points per game, 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:28.560 and they are averaging on scoring themselves eleven points per game, 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:34.200 and he might just be ready to call it holy 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:42.760 smokes man. I it is unfathomable that it would have 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:49.119 gone on this wrong, this gone this wrong, And I 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:53.560 say this with all sincerity. It is a bit of 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:59.880 a lesson and not just Hubris. But in what can 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:06.439 happen if you only surround yourself with acolytes and with 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:13.320 yes men like the GM is Lombardi whose whole the 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.840 only you know, the only relevance he has left in 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:21.440 the NFL and in football is his relationship with Belichick. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:25.199 I don't listen, I don't relish saying that for me. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.560 I don't know how much of the audience knows this. 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:33.640 But when I started with Fox, I did a three 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.200 time a week, two time a week for a full 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:40.240 football season podcast where it was just me and Mike Lombardi. 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.880 It's called make Me Smarter. I mean, I know the guy, 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.000 but I get fair is fair. I have to call 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.119 it what it is like. In the last decade, his 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:55.000 connection to pro football has been his connection to Belichick. 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.920 Lombardi's kid is on the coaching staff. Both of belichick 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.920 kids are on the coaching staff. They they have they 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:07.159 have not. There is not a lot of new ideas 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.960 coming in. They seemingly did a very poor job in 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.680 the transfer portal. And I mean there was the quote 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:16.280 I wish I could tell. 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.040 You where I saw going against the integrity of the game. 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:23.320 But their recruiting process and all that, like, he's it 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.280 sounds like they were kind of cheating a little bit. 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.520 Well, so that so that listen, I don't know. 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.600 I how much of that is true or. 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:36.840 Yeah, I don't know enough yet about the recruiting violations. 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.760 And I also, to be totally honest, don't even know 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:43.160 what's legal and what's illegal in college, Like I don't 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.199 even know what, Like it seems like I don't know 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.200 how you could break the rules these days, like and 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:54.240 so that part of it is odd, but set that aside. 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:59.000 There was a quote from a coach of a non 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:03.400 power five square last week that said, yeah, I knew 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.640 North Carolina was going to be screwed because they were 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.919 recruiting all the same players we were. He's like, whenever 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.760 there's a team that is recruiting all of the guys 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:14.720 we're after, I know that team is not going to 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.880 be able to compete at the top level, but they 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.679 so they and that sounds mean from the coach, but 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:25.360 that coaches. Again, I'm not saying what school exact because 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.840 I don't know, but he's saying he's coaching a small 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.879 school and so they should not be going after this. 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.280 North Carolina should be able to get elite players and 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:40.800 did again. I don't want I don't want to put 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.000 you on the spot here, but you had a friend 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:45.600 or someone you knew. 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:49.240 Yeah he was, but he he ended up going to Colorado, 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:53.160 but he he Yeah, he went on, did the whole process. 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:54.879 I think he was going to do it, but you know, 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:56.200 playing at Colorado this year. 0:20:56.480 --> 0:21:01.080 Okay, So, but he was recruited by Belichick's crew. Yeah, 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.639 as a transfer student. Right, he wasn't a graduating senior. 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:13.880 He was transferring somewhere, right, Those seventy kids that transferred 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.320 into North Carolina did. 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.320 It yeah for Bill. Yeah. 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:24.240 And if we are five games in and they're already 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:31.680 talking buyout and just giving up, that's pathetic, man. And 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:38.120 I do think that. And I try to always be 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:40.600 consistent and honest on this. 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:41.960 I so. 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:50.960 The revisionist history that some folks do, acting as if 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:58.600 those first three Super Bowls weren't teams that were led 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.800 by the defense into which Belichick was in charge of. 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.879 I'm not down for that. And the final Super Bowl 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:10.840 they held the Sean McVeigh, Todd Gurley Good, Jared goff 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:14.480 Rams to three points. So I am not going to 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.520 act like Belichick was carried by Tom Brady. I don't 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:19.560 think that is the case at all. I think they 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:22.800 both helped each other greatly. But I'm also not going 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:23.440 to act like. 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:25.199 That. 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:30.640 The last half decade has not been an abject disaster 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:36.200 for Bill. He's stopped being able to draft, he made 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:44.560 outrageous coaching staff decisions, his personal life became very public 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:50.120 and a legitimate distraction. All the bridges with New England 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:52.800 seem to have been burnt. And now he goes to 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:56.680 North Carolina and we're talking about it being over already. 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:04.560 That's a train wreck. And there is not yet any coach, 0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:12.240 any modern coach Demons that has a close enough resume 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:17.880 to Belichick's to start a reel who's the best coach ever? 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:18.280 Debate? 0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:24.160 But if we get you know, Andy is the obvious 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.199 one that has a shot. But I but I'm not 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:28.760 trying to make this about the Chiefs. I'm not even 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:31.240 really trying to make this about Andy. The point I'm 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:37.560 making is this, if somebody gets close how it is 0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:41.280 ending for Bill will hurt him. The fact that it 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:47.359 was just rank incompetence across the board. The moment Tom 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:52.880 left even will make people do something that I think 0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:55.719 is unfair, as I said a moment ago, which is 0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:58.680 start to put a bit of a curve negative curve 0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:04.160 on what he did with Tom, and so I normally 0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:04.560 would not. 0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:10.360 Leading with this. All this was with Tom and then 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.320 like every single thing he did after that. 0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:19.000 It's been a disaster. It's and so and again. 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:23.440 But the thing was is him trying to recover on that. 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:25.240 It's like, oh, I went to college, look at what 0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:26.080 I did and. 0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:29.879 Correct or and that's one of the reasons he wanted 0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:32.760 to go to another NFL team to show he could 0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:37.600 do it. And so it will just like again just 0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:44.080 to bring up the Andy piece of it, like Andy 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:50.280 had an awesome run without Patrick Mahomes, you know, like 0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:54.000 double digit playoff appearances, went to a super Bowl, multiple 0:24:54.040 --> 0:24:57.480 conference championship appearances, all like they it didn't get to 0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:00.920 the top of the mountain. But was an excellent coach 0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:04.320 without Patrick. Now he had Donovan mcnabby and Mike Vick. 0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:08.119 He had good It's not like he had terrible quarterbacks. 0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:12.800 Obviously had really really good quarterbacks. And so it's not 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.840 an apples to apples comp I'm not acting like it is. 0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:21.960 But and nobody cares about like where did Vince Lombardi. See, 0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:23.880 you know how I know nobody cares. I don't even 0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:28.320 remember like Vince Lombardi did he finish with the Saints, 0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:35.600 the oh no, Washington, Washington for a year, Like people 0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:39.920 don't tend to care about, you know, the final chapter 0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:43.760 of an all time legend if it even if it 0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:49.239 doesn't go well. But this has gone so horrifically, Like 0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:55.760 nobody does the audience remember what Bill Parcell's final stop was, 0:25:57.760 --> 0:26:03.520 and it was the Dolphins. But he wasn't the head coach. 0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:06.840 He was the you know, basically the guy in charge 0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:12.879 of everything, and so people don't people don't typically hold 0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:16.720 that stuff against you. But this is such a train 0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:21.320 wreck that and I, by the way, I believe Ali Connolly. 0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:24.240 If Ali Connelly says this could happen in the next 0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:26.439 couple of weeks, This could happen in the next couple weeks. 0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:30.640 And what I think is now locked and why it's 0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:34.240 worth discussing and then we'll move on. I think it is. 0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:38.040 I think it is now minus one thousand that Belichick 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:40.800 is not the head coach of North Carolina next year, 0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:44.520 which leads us to this, and then I promise we 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:48.440 will move on I guess he's just not gonna coach again. 0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:55.080 Like if the NFL was leary of him after the 0:26:55.119 --> 0:27:00.760 Patriots stint, then I guess this is just how it ends. 0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:03.160 What a crummy ending, man. 0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:10.440 And hey, if you they just start winning games. 0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:14.000 They're not good. I mean, I don't think they recruited 0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:16.359 the right players. I don't think they And it seems 0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:20.960 like there was an article on w R A L Yeah, 0:27:21.320 --> 0:27:24.600 which is like the A rally Raleigh the city in 0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:29.600 North Carolina? Is it Raleigh Rally? I'm gonna pronounce it wrong, Raleigh, 0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:34.959 I think. BUTMANI used to live there. The that uh 0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:40.160 about the dysfunction and the infighting amongst players about It's 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:41.120 a bad situation. 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:41.440 Man. 0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:43.639 All right, let's get to the NFL.
