Speaker 1: ties to make sure that everybody loves you know. That's

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: the word on the street. Although it feels like maybe

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: it's becoming less and less important, you know, like now

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: there's self sticking tiles and we don't need as much

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: cult as we used to, the world needs culk. It's important.

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Hey money. By the way, didn't we find out speaking

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: of assignments, um did our Power Wrkings show get picked

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: up for not to share too much? But the if

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: it were even though today and seal beaches, I look

35
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: out my in though it is a glorious seventy five

36
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: and sonny, Uh, the forecast for the future of money

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: is anything but sunny and seventy five. It's a bit

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: cloudy and uncertain at a regular point. So I am

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: not sure. I hope Power Rankings comes back. I hope

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm part of it. And uh, because you know, as

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: far as I was concerned, it was, it was an anchor.

42
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean it was an anchor on which a day's

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: programming was built around, you know, like they would drop

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: power rankings in like okay, if we put this at

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: three eastern, we can move this to two and then

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: that way, you know, we can we can help power

47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: rankings can help cherry that as a leading and then

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: it will help with an anchor that like dragged everything

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: else down. No, no, it's not an albatross. Not an albatross.

50
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: What about what about let's get away from the anchor,

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: because Greg makes a good point, there's some negative connotations there.

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: We were the Sun Okay, planets that works, that works.

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: We were including uh, the one with Hawk and Cynthia,

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: that one that's like a little like the planet that

55
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: got that got run out of town? Which one got

56
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: run out of town? The planet that was Uranus, Pluto,

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: Pluto got popped in a big Pluto is nothing but

58
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: a rock now it is no longer a planet. But

59
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: but I would assume if if Greg's uh, pick them

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: Pluto is Pluto Pluto returns, right, I believe to pick

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: them show is certainly going to come back. It's coming back,

62
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: It's come back. This is like a fake that they

63
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: just they don't plan anything, and you don't know anything.

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: And you you've been around this company long enough, you

65
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: don't know anything until about mid August. This is like

66
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: a fake first week back because the teams aren't really back.

67
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: This is more us just like, alright, we're star This

68
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: is like the beginning of the workout routine as we're

69
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: starting to get ready for the big fight. It's the

70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: very beginning, now you know what that's I'm glad you

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: brought that up, Greg, because as a distance runner I

72
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: would love for you to share with you around the

73
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: NFL audience. What kind of warm upper are you when

74
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: it comes to running your your marathons? Are you a

75
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: butt kicker? Are you a high nees like do you

76
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: kind of sprint back and forth in the parking lot

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: before the gunfires off? Or you just like whatever, I'm

78
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna crush this banana, take a leak on this tree,

79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: and I'm running six point I don't I don't warm

80
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't really warm up. I guess oh wait, I

81
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: only did a marathon once, but for the half or stuff,

82
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: I don't think. Yeah, maybe maybe just say to banana

83
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: and you go there you go. I like a blood kicker,

84
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: following by the p on the tree. That would be

85
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: my call, bud kicker, super super super short dolphin shorts.

86
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, two things. I can see Greg doing

87
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,559
Speaker 1: the two fingers in the vass, only no one rubbing

88
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: his oh yeah, oh yeah, chaffing problem. I definitely vasslines

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: on the nipples, that you make that mistake without at once,

90
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: and that you don't do any Greg well known for

91
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: his bloody nips. Um off, it's gonna be news heavy.

92
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna get caught up here because yes, we've been

93
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,960

00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: get off Twitter. Just relax, enjoy the summer. And I

97
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: know the variant the delta variants out there, so I'm

98
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: not gonna say everything's great now and just you know,

99
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: and to act like nothing's wrong. But Mark's fine. Mark's

100
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna be here on Thursday, and I hope if he's not,

101
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: then worry. If Mark's not on the show on Thursday, worry,

102
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: And then we had him right? Is that the issue

103
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: with Mark? Mark's got COVID Mark does not have COVID,

104
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: and I apologize that value wasn't clear enough. I don't

105
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: know what Mark is. I don't know where he's at physically.

106
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: I just know that he's alive and he's still with

107
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: the company, and he'll be back Thursday, and then we'll

108
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: be back with the network show on Friday. And before

109
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: we get to the news, just want to ask a question,

110
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: and I'll start with you, Mr Rosenthal, with your vassoline nips?

111
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: Do you do a vassoline nip right before a podcast?

112
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't see it anymore that that was

113
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: only for like a long, long race. You know, I'm

114
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: not running too far anymore. Did you ever let someone

115
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: else apply it? Or is it always self application? The wife?

116
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not the only place that Assaline is going.

117
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know right, it's the late night pod.

118
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna to wait till Justin Graver filling in for Ricky.

119
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: Nobody's coming to the after Dark. This is gonna go

120
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: up after midnight on the East coast, Justin al right,

121
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: before we get into the news, Greg Uh. As we

122
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: get back into the swing of things, we're not quite there.

123
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: We're getting there, just like the NFL is getting there,

124
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: But what would what would be something that would jolt

125
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: you out of this off season malaise that we found

126
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: ourselves in. Yeah, and I choose to view it like

127
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: you do, just enjoying the summer. Once it went down

128
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: to uh Money's neck of the woods and Otani delivered

129
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: us a home run, you know, it's like it was

130
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: worth the worth the price of admission to go there,

131
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: even though they lost. Um. It's really you know, they're

132
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: doing this thing where they're starting all the training camps

133
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: on the same day, which I think will add to

134
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: this um phenomenon even more. For me, it's it's the

135
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: news flow of the first three days of training camp.

136
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: So there's nothing that's gonna do it in the next

137
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: twelve days. Because I always think, like I I still

138
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: am a news junkie, and I'm waiting for that news

139
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: flow to get rolling, um, to get my juices flowing,

140
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: because I think it will because more happens in the

141
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: first four or five days of training camp. I would say,

142
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: to change how you're thinking about this season than happened

143
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: from the draft on or really almost from free agency on.

144
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: And I'll admit it, I am having harder time this

145
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: year to get like you know, to get some engine revving.

146
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's because of Chris, And at least for

147
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: me at least, it's it's because this is gonna be

148
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: the first season without Chris. And because after the year

149
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: we you know, we've gone through not just the pandemic

150
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: but obviously Chris, that we needed this time away and

151
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: so cranking it back up and and getting ready for

152
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: this first season we've ever done without him. And he's

153
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: been part of my football season since two thousand nine, um,

154
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: And so that that's it. But I do think that

155
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: the it's injuries, it's position battles, it's contract it's different things.

156
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: Like you have this whole idea and everyone just starts

157
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: copying each other, and there's all these season previews out

158
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: and they're all great and everything, and really you learned.

159
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: I think you learned a lot in the first week

160
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: of training camp, more than more than the entire off season,

161
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: because the season is the teams in the season, and

162
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: the players are always way different than you think they are.

163
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: You think they are where you left them off last year,

164
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: but they're just not. That's that's not how it's gonna be.

165
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: Some players are gonna rise, some some are gonna fall,

166
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: and I think the news hound in me will get

167
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: we'll get franking once those first three or four days

168
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: that are rolling about you money well, I hate to

169
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: say it, but because I know what's going to happen,

170
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: but I think when we finally get that that closure

171
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers is in Green Bay and he's going

172
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: to be a Packer this year, that to me signals

173
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: all right, we're in. We're because I do think he's

174
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: gonna show up before, you know, at the start of

175
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: training camp. I don't think he's gonna hold out and

176
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: think we're gonna get any of that. And I think

177
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: that'll signal that all of the off season rhetoric, oh

178
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: could he be a Bronco, could be a Steeler? Like

179
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: that will come to an end, right, and it's oh,

180
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: our Aaron Rodgers and the Packers gonna win the NFC

181
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: this year after knocking on the door of the last

182
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: two and we get back to football con station, not

183
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: off season what ifs. Yeah, I'm with you that that

184
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: That was the first thing that popped into my mind.

185
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: And I find myself just generally like maybe annoyed is

186
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: not the right word. But just as I'm enjoying this summer,

187
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: and that's been a lot of travel. I just got

188
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: back from Denverum in Texas. Now I was in Californa,

189
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: New Jersey before that. And and uh, and this Aaron

190
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: Rodgers thing. Every time I'm at a bar or something

191
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: like ESPN or probably our network to are inventing these

192
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: stories to do what is Aaron Rodgers gonna do? Where

193
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: is he gonna be next? And ultimately, as we know,

194
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: the Packers hold all the cards. He's under contract and

195
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: they have there are no place to trade the best

196
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league coming off his MVP Seas and

197
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: so I think he's gonna be there. But once we

198
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: get that news and you can put that story to bed,

199
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: we can start talking about real football again. I'll throw

200
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: one more name out there. Nobody really likes talking about

201
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: it right now, but it's Deshaun Watson, uh, with the

202
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: sexual assault allegations around him. At same time before that broke,

203
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: of course, he wanted out at Houston, and he wanted

204
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: out of Houston in a real bad way. And Adam

205
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: Schefter at ESPN reported, uh, not really reported, but speculated

206
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: that there is no team quote better positioned to trade

207
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson than the Eagles. We know the Eagles

208
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: seem to be a little we don't know, but it

209
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: feels like the Eagles are a little wishy wishy washy

210
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: about Jalen Hurts and we know they got Carson Wentz

211
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: out of town. All that. All the of course, those

212
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: in the back seat and to his legal situation plays out,

213
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: and even beyond the legal side of things, what happens

214
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: in the courts um, whether it's civil or criminal courts,

215
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: what happens with the NFL's decision as well, like does

216
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: he go on the commissioner exemple ist, does he not

217
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: go on the list? And if he doesn't go on

218
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: the list through the Houston Texans have an opportunity to

219
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: trade him. That would be if something changed on this

220
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: front in a substantial way. That to me would be

221
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: a jolt, like whoa. This is a huge story with

222
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: a lot of implications all over the place. What happens

223
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson? I do you know that Eagles thing

224
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: popped up and it did get you thinking like, oh, yeah,

225
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: he could play for another team this year, right, I

226
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: don't know, you just I think that process is going

227
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: to take a minute, because I think you're you're gonna

228
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: have to get the legal decision. Then you're gonna have

229
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: to get the NFL decision, unless they're prepared to make

230
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: one quickly. But if for some reason, by mid August,

231
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: the NFL has suspended him for eight games, then I

232
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: would absolutely think that trades are now on the table,

233
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: Like once they get some once a team like the

234
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: Eagles or whoever else would be interested in Denver would

235
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: be the other one I would circle, like, once they

236
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: have some definition of what he's actually gonna miss, It's

237
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: like I would think that trade will happen sooner than later.

238
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: Like I think they're why wait around. If you're Houston,

239
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: they can get a lot, except you know, and especially

240
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: if he is just spending for half the season. Let's

241
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: say it is considerably different than the Packers situation, right

242
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: where you're trading your players somewhere that is going to

243
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: then devalue you know, your assets that you've received in return.

244
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: If the jan's out for eight games, it's okay, let's

245
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: get as much as we can. Let's move on and

246
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: make a clean break as quickly as possible. Especially, you know,

247
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: let's say, if it's the Eagles and you get Jalen

248
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: Hurts in return, you know, and you you are actually

249
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: getting a young quarterback that you wouldn't mind getting a

250
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: look see for a year as to whether or not

251
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, this may be your quarterback moving forward, Um

252
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: so I could. I think that's certainly more likely than

253
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: like anything is more likely than Aaron Rodgers getting traded

254
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: at this point. But um, it's funny you brought that

255
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: up then, because I had completely forgotten. And that is

256
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: one thing that Aaron Rodgers managed to do to the

257
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: The mess that Deshaun Watson and the Texans are in

258
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: is completely overshadowed because you know, it's a hundred times

259
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: more popular in terms of the player and the franchise,

260
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: uh and the story, and the media doesn't want to

261
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to touch it. But especially

262
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: like these big networks and Iville Network, ESPN who have

263
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: partnerships with the NFL and have really struggled to talk

264
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: about this shout and watch because it is a hard

265
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: it is a hard thing to talk about. Give you

266
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: just the tiny example as minuscule in terms of the scope.

267
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: But last week we talked about it. I had the

268
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 1: Superstar Club piece on NFL dot Com and break it

269
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: down down into categories, and Deshaun Watson is sitting in

270
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback club. And then one of our editors who

271
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: it was the right thing to do. I guess it's

272
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: a conversation to have, like do you want to take

273
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,599
Speaker 1: him out of this article until things shake out. I

274
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: don't know, nobody really knows what to do with Shaun

275
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Watson because of the uncertainty surrounding him in so many ways.

276
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: Um really could be the whole year too. I don't

277
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: think it would surprise me if the NFL. Well, first,

278
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: if the legal thing takes a while and we just

279
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: don't get any clarity, But if the NFL made a

280
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: statement and that he's just gone for the year, and

281
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: you say, okay, let's revisit this, and I mean, like

282
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: we're going through it right now in baseball, right you know,

283
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: with Trevor Bauer. You know, it was like, oh, it's

284
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: he's going to make the start on Sunday. Oh no,

285
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: he's he's out for seven days, and he's out for

286
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: another seven days, and now he's out for another seven days.

287
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, as far as the league

288
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: is concerned. They're content to just say, hey, man, you're

289
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: paying the guy. We just don't want his face anywhere.

290
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: We don't we don't want the name, we don't want

291
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, the storyline. So this is our way of

292
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: dealing with it. I think you're right, Greg that that

293
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: to me makes the most sense, that that he's not

294
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: someone we're gonna we're gonna probably hear from anytime. So

295
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: put again, like not to get too deep down this whole.

296
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: And I know that wasn't your intention, Dan, and I

297
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: know people probably don't like hearing about it, but I

298
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: think people fail to recognize, like how little the NFL

299
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: has to do with this. I mean, this is a

300
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: legal issue. There are courts involved, there are pending charges involved.

301
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: You know whether or not it's going to be a

302
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: civil case or a criminal case. You know that the

303
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: NFL has nothing to do with that like that. That

304
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: That's what's always I think people fail to recognize is yes,

305
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: they can do their trade request and everything about he

306
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: was already in the news before this all happened. And

307
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: that's why I think that was including me. It's kind

308
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: of like have combined the two when they're when they're

309
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: kind and their judgments for punishment do not lock in

310
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: sync with the legal system. So the NFL at any

311
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: point can't hand down the um some type of penalty. Uh,

312
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: and that will start it happens right, all right, let's

313
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: get into the news. This is the game. One second left,

314
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: get in and it will be tied. Locked in the

315
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: shotgun board into the backfield. Fakes the handoff, rolling to

316
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: his right, lock still looking froze caught incomplete, incomplete, He

317
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: was out of bones. And now the referees discussing it.

318
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: Signal on the field is incomplete. Now they say touchdown.

319
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: After a discussion, they say touchdown, And the Broncos are

320
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: an extra point away from winning a game where they

321
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: were dead to rights in the third quarter. Boy, the

322
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: Chargers have found ways to lose games this season, but

323
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the most painful of them all,

324
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: is uh? Now? Money, I'm not money, of course, is

325
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: the voice of the Los Angeles Chargers with move the

326
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: sticks doing the color. What a tandem? Especially money, Um,

327
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't play that back with the accompanying

328
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: sad music. Um to give you any type of PTSD,

329
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: it's more just to set you up. Money, You've been

330
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: doing that gig for a few years. That's and deserved

331
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: none of the You're right there. It doesn't get any

332
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: lower than Drew Lock ripping your heart out. And here

333
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: is here is the pts. The portion of that broadcast is, uh,

334
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: remember the games we were watching them on an ALL

335
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: twenty two ft in a TV studio, right, so we're

336
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: not in Denver? Is that so? That was? I believe

337
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: that was kind of like the I'm at my wits

338
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: end when I go to my car to drive away.

339
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: I think that was the one where I really started

340
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: losing my mind because I had already have the Saints

341
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: game in which the ALL twenty two was pointed at

342
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: the offensive line of the Chargers and so Badgley kicks

343
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: that field goal with zeros to win the game, and

344
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: everybody in the offensive line raises their hands, is good,

345
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: and so I call it good, only to then have

346
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: the ultiwey to move up onto the uprights and see

347
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: the referees go like this, and I'm like, and it's

348
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: no good. Uh. And then I have the Radar game

349
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: in which you had you had Parham catch the ball,

350
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: signals touchdown and the Chargers win, and then I call

351
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: it a win, and then upon review, no he didn't

352
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: catch it, Zero's Chargers lose. And then that one where

353
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: I have the camera focused on that one official. I

354
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: can't see all three, so I only see the one

355
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: where I call it incomplete no good, only to have

356
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: it overturned. I was gonna ask you if you thought

357
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: that maybe because the Chargers just seemed every year they

358
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: rip out the hearts of their fans. And I was

359
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: hanging out with the Chargers fan last week, um, and

360
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: he had some type of I wish I remember what

361
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: he said, we almost always almost always blow it, something

362
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: like that. Um. But I want to say, do you

363
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: think that this is the year things changed for the

364
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: Charges and they're gonna be a badass team all year?

365
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: And then my other question, yeah, go ahead, Well you

366
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: have to say that, of course I do. Uh. Look,

367
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: I think so much of it. You know, Look, Justin

368
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: Herbert had five fourth quarter leads, you know, he had.

369
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: He had leads against Drew Brees and the Superdome. He

370
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: had leads against Tom Brady in Tampa that the defense

371
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: managed to let get away. Remember they're up twenty four

372
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: to three in that game against the Bucks, and the

373
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: defense and then look, Tom Brady did at the teams

374
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: all season long. I'm not trying to take anything away

375
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: from him, but I'm just saying that the offense was

376
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: able to put together a pretty darn good year. Um,

377
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: it was the defense that, you know, for all of

378
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: the you know, the incoming that the offensive line took

379
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: and understandably so it was one of the worst units

380
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: in the league. Herbert was able to overcome it for

381
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: the most part, you know, and put up huge numbers

382
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: and score a bunch of points. And it was the

383
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball that managed to uh routinely

384
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: and repeatedly uh give games away. So I'd be traveling though, right,

385
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: you'll be traveling because because you're right, that was I

386
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: thought about that a lot during the NBA playoffs, especially

387
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: the first round when they still weren't sending guys like

388
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: it wasn't the broadcaster's fault, but it just was. It

389
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: really was so much worse the broadcasts and I think

390
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: everyone and and there was no way to criticize because

391
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: of course there it's these professionals in an impossible situation

392
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: doing the best possible and and we're happy to just

393
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: watch the live sports. So it's a silly thing also

394
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: to complain about, but of course you were watching it,

395
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: just at least I was always thinking about that. You

396
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: can criticize though, these these companies that you know, pay

397
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: further the teams that pay for the announcing teams, and

398
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: they're seeing, well, we still can you know, wiggle in

399
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: and use this window and use COVID as a reason

400
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: why we're not putting announcing teams on the road, and

401
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: they're saving tens of thousands of dollars and travel and hotel.

402
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: But at the same time they're the products not as good,

403
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: and you're putting people in bad spots. Like John Sterling

404
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: is a hundred years old. He's been covered calling Yankee's

405
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: for thirty years and it keeps happening to him too

406
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: where he's he's watching a screen, a monitor and something happens.

407
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: Then susan Wald and his partners like, this is terrible.

408
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: We gotta get out of here, like they're they're so

409
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: so fill the furious by the way that charges uh

410
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: catchphrase amongst the fans as we almost always almost went yes,

411
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: almost always almost when so I'm hoping this year, you know,

412
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: different coaching staff, different assistant coaches, certainly some up I felt.

413
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: I feel like the team is better than they were

414
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: last year in terms of what they were able to

415
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: do in free agency, especially with health. It should health

416
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: hold through training camp, and UM, yeah, I remain cautiously optimistic.

417
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: I believe by the end of the year. I think

418
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: it was the Raider game the I'm in. I was in.

419
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: I was in game right in overtime, and I do believe.

420
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: I said on the air DJ, forgive me if I

421
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: am not going to call that at touchdown and game over,

422
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: I am going to casually wait here on the broadcast

423
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: booth for the referee to crack his mic and say,

424
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert was in the game is over? Uh? That

425
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: That is now what I have been trained to do

426
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: through the court. I think that was game sixteen through

427
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: U sixteen of our seventeen games. That is now where

428
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: I sit. Nothing is a touchdown. Since you're contractually obligated

429
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: to be optimistic on me. Throw it to Greg and

430
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: I know you love Justin Herbert Greig. Um, I'll set

431
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: the over under unwins in a seventeen game season at

432
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: ten and a half. That's high. That's high. Note and

433
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: a half, nine and a half and then I'll go

434
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: over I don't all right, there you go, all right,

435
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Um. The deadline for signing a

436
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: franchise tagged player to a long term deal came and

437
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: went since we last spoke with you, and only one

438
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: guy got a deal. It was Panthers right tackle Taylor Moten,

439
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: a four year, seventy two million dollar extension through Altogether,

440
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: it's five for eighty five. He's one of the highest

441
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: paid right tackles in the league. And perhaps more interesting

442
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: are the guys that didn't get long term deals. Allen

443
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: Robinson with the Bears, UH, their star wide receiver. Another

444
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: star wide receiver Chris Godwin with the Bucks UH. Marcus

445
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: May of the Jets, which surprised me that they're not

446
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: doing business with him, did not get long term deals,

447
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: and it puts their futures with their teams in doubt.

448
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: It's just a reminder how great a deal the franchise

449
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: tag is for play for teams and not for players.

450
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: Because none of almost none of these were close or

451
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: that they were even really negotiating. It was something I

452
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: was surprised the players didn't push a little harder to

453
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: get rid of They got the tag you know, during

454
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: the last CBA, which is now a couple of years ago. Uh,

455
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: they got a few little upgrades, but for the most part,

456
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: like teams are always especially now that there's tons of

457
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: cap space again and the cap is going through the moon,

458
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna go up way again next year. It's like,

459
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: it's hard to do this two straight years. If you

460
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: think of who did get signed this year, it was

461
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: dak Um who was on a deal a franchise tag

462
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: last year. Justin Simmons who was on a franchise tag

463
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: last year. There's another one, and almost no one got

464
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: two in a row. Sure was the only one, the

465
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: guard from Washington Um. And so it's tough to do

466
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: it two years in a row. But like teams are

467
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: just not incentivized to give the money. The Panthers, you know,

468
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: did it for Moten, which is great, but I look

469
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: at I've said it a couple of there's offensive line

470
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: looks other than him, like one of the worst in

471
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: the league. So it's good they did lockdown their best

472
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 1: player by far. I mean, just to echo that, it's

473
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: exactly why owners fight for the franchise tag, right, you know,

474
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: do you really need considering you know, the breadth of

475
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers available in middle rounds and free agency on

476
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: cheap deals like we saw with Marvin Jones. I mean,

477
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: guys that are productive getting reasonable offers. You know, why

478
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: would the Bears want to succumb to a eighty five

479
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: or one hundred million dollar fell for a player when

480
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: they can just get away with the player. He's the

481
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: one guy I would think, just do it. But I don't. Yeah,

482
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't disagree with that, but I also

483
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: think this very well could be the last year for

484
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: that coaching staff, and it could be a tear down

485
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: and it could be a reset. So I wouldn't you know,

486
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would want to invest long

487
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: term money in that particular position when I can do

488
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: it next year, you know what I mean? Like I

489
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: feel like, hey, if this goes really well and Justin

490
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 1: Fields is who we think he is, not just as

491
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: a player, but as a galvanizing force inside that locker room,

492
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: then I think we we'll just be able to sign

493
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: him next year. You know, give him his eighteen million

494
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: bucks this year. He should be happy with that. And

495
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: unless he becomes a holdout, you know, and and and

496
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: you know, and he's and he's not going to report,

497
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: and he's going to insist upon a trade or something.

498
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how all that would work, but like

499
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: to me, that makes sense. Say with Marcus him like

500
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: the Bucks did it with Shack Barrett, and they could

501
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: very well do it with Godwin after you might have

502
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson is number one, Greg on your free agency

503
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: Top one oh one next year. Yes, may you just

504
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: mat Uh. In other news, disturbing situation for Richard Sherman Uh,

505
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: the veteran free agent who is facing a multiple multitude

506
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: of criminal charges following an arrest outside his in laws home.

507
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: He was released from King County Jail in Washington on

508
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon. He had he had a court appearance UM

509
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: facing five misdemeanor charges connected to an incident in which

510
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: he was drunk and um aggressive trying to get inside

511
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: a house and um it's money. Kind of a sad

512
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: situation because Sherman has been such a great player and

513
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: a great personality UH in the league all these years

514
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: and then you see there's something else going on behind

515
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: the scenes, and you just worry about the person, no doubt,

516
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: you know. I think any of us that have ever

517
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: crossed paths with Richard Sherman. Love him, you know, he's

518
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: he's a he's a fun guy to be around. Uh.

519
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: He's done a great job in the media. No doubt

520
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: this will be his second career. He's too good at

521
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: it for it not to be. Um. I think if

522
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: he had any designs upon plane one more year, those

523
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: were certainly dealt a serious blow with this. We hope

524
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: he's okay. Um. You saw the people that have reached

525
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: out to him, you know, in Seattle the forty nine

526
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: John Lynch also, whatever you need, We're here for you. Uh.

527
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: It sounds like, you know, his wife wanted to make

528
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: it clear that no one was harmed, that there wasn't

529
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: any physical issues. It was, you know, just an unfortunate,

530
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: perhaps you know, belligerent in terms of alcohol consumption situation

531
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: that got away from him. Um. And we hope he

532
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: gets the help that that he needs, you know, if

533
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: he needs that help. But you know, it's happy that that.

534
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: It sounded like all parties, you know, really wanted to

535
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: make sure you know that that it was conveyed that

536
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: this was not a physical situation, that it was really just, um,

537
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, an unfortunate series of events that thankfully nobody

538
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: was hurt. I'm sure it was scary for a lot

539
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: of people. Um. And he's a big, strong guy, no

540
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: doubt about that. When he's kicking down your door, we're

541
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: gonna freak out a little bit. Um. But you know,

542
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: I let the legal situation play out. Hope he's okay

543
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: and everybody around him is okay. And and again I

544
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: think in terms of him playing in one, I would

545
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: say that, you know, I would put the odds on

546
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: that considerably higher of happening now after this. Yeah, well

547
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: I had expected him to get a job because he

548
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: was certainly playing well enough, you know, to get a job.

549
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: It maybe probably even a starting job or a significant role.

550
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad we didn't take this like one day after

551
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: because well, first of all, there's no there's no takes

552
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: to be had with this, like a story like this,

553
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: and there were some bad ones out there, but there

554
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: was a lot of misinformation to just even from the police, like, um,

555
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: they kept calling it was like his x in laws

556
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: and some of the details, you know what you're alluding

557
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: to that he was trying to get into his in laws.

558
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: But it's like, no, he's he's married. Um, and I

559
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: think it was important to hear his contrition um and

560
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: his desire to get help, and his wife and family's

561
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: desire to help him with that. And that happened a

562
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: few days later when he was when he did do

563
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: the court appearance. So yeah, you're you're right, though we

564
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: might not see him on the field again anytime soon.

565
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: In other cornerback news, this uh on the field news,

566
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: Xavien Howard ten interceptions last season led the NFL, and

567
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: that came a couple of years or two off seasons

568
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: after signing a five year point to five million dollar extension. Well,

569
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: when you signed that deal and then Jalen Ramsey a

570
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: short time later signs a five year, one hundred million

571
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: dollar deal, and then you have ten interceptions and all

572
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're not the most high highly paid

573
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: guy in your own secondary. Um, that's gonna lead to

574
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: some issues, and it does. And NFL Networks Mike Silver

575
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: reports that there's quote a lot of trade chatter concerning

576
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: Xavien Howard. Could the Dolphins greg move their star cornerback

577
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: who wants more money even though he just signed that

578
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: deal a couple of years ago. He says that's not

579
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: a fair contract. It sounds like it based on Silver

580
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: putting this out there, that they're not interested in giving

581
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: him the money. That was what I really took from

582
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: this was that other teams were talking about it that

583
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphins sounds like a cordony of Silver, you know,

584
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: want a first round pick for him, which which makes sense.

585
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: He's one of the best cornerbacks in the Lake. And

586
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are the one team that I think are

587
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: like cold blood and not even though like, of course

588
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: they want you know, they would want Davian Howard, and

589
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: they're like a team on the rise, like they've shown

590
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: us they don't care, like they've traded some great young

591
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: pieces before. And so I just get the behind the

592
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: scenes feel from this board even getting out there, that's

593
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: like they're not thrilled with this guy because since they've

594
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: given him this money, he's had two seasons. One of

595
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: those seasons he missed most of the year, and in

596
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: between those two seasons, he was arrested for a domestic assault.

597
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: It's like and that I keep not seeing that mentioned

598
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: in any of the analysis with him. It's like, but

599
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: I have to believe for the Miami Dolphins, who just

600
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: gave him all this money, he has four years left

601
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: on his deal, that that is a factor for them.

602
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: How could it? How could it not be? And he's

603
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: still like the sixth highest paid cornerback in the league

604
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: in terms of average value. It's not like super underpaid either.

605
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: So you really do get the feeling that they're just

606
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: kind of like, whatever, man, you want to hold out, like,

607
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: we'll actually find you for this. This could actually be

608
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: a story I think, unlike almost any other hold out

609
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: that that goes on for a little while. If he's serious, Yeah,

610
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: I guess, um, you know, it's it's hard enough to

611
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: find one. You know, we we keep talking, we keep

612
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: hearing about how you know, is the cornerback the most

613
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: important position in in this current state of the NFL?

614
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: Is it more important than the offensive line? Is it

615
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: more important than the past rusher? You better have a

616
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: lockdown corner And there's a lot of teams that don't

617
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: have one, let alone too. So I do think it's

618
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: a position of power for the Dolphins if they want

619
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: to move forward with Jones, is their anchor on one side.

620
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Xavien like he had a great

621
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: he had a great year. There's no doubt about it.

622
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: I think they're they're selling it his peak. I mean,

623
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: I I think they could probably fetch a first round

624
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: pick for m I know what you said, Gregg in

625
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: terms of the off the field stuff. I don't know

626
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: how big of an issue that is, but I would

627
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: assume a team that considers himself a contender or has

628
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: designs upon being a contender, you know. And I think

629
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of what people always forget when the Rams

630
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: trade all these first round picks. Kind of the way

631
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: Less Sneed and Sean mcba are looking at it is,

632
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: we don't anticipate this being a pick that's inside of

633
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: the top twenty. Like this is we are getting rid

634
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 1: of selection twenty two through thirty two for this player,

635
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: and moving forward the Detroit Lions, we plan on them

636
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: getting picked somewhere through thirty two, twenty six through thirty two,

637
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: and that's where that so. I think if you're a

638
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: team like the Steelers with Mika Fitzpatrick when they made

639
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: that deal, like the Rams, to me, that lines up.

640
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: Not all first round picks are are equal. You know,

641
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: this is this is not the Jaguars trading for xaviing Howard.

642
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: You know going into twenty that like, that's so to me,

643
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: I think it makes perfect sense that they could find

644
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: a team willing to float them, uh one not you know,

645
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: like the Chief or whomever. A B I know they

646
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: don't have their one because they just traded it for

647
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: Atlando Brown. But you know what I'm saying, like a

648
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: team in that in that vein that feels like they're

649
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that's their one weak spot and the

650
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: rest of their team looks like an intent for a

651
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: division championship. I could totally see that making sense. Uh.

652
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: In other news saying, wait, wait, Greg rolled his eyes?

653
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: Do you disagree? You're on mute? I had to go

654
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: on mute briefly because there was like alarms going off

655
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: in my house. I was, I wasn't rolling my eyes.

656
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I rolled my outside off

657
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: and I don't even know. Yeah, I don't know if

658
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: he was bored, if he was bored with the commentary, uh,

659
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: if he was just agreeing with the with the take

660
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: or what you know. I just always we all look,

661
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: we all see Greg's approval. It's why we never call

662
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: him out on any of his bad takes, right because

663
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: we never want that. Um, you're all right, Greg, everything's fine.

664
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm good. Yeah, there was. You know, my kids just

665
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: walk where My son has a habit of just going

666
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: into our iPads and different um timers and just setting

667
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: them off to go off throughout the day. He's not

668
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: even here now, just for just for chaos, just to

669
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: bother me. And I just wanna, I just want to

670
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 1: mention money, my instincts, just to move on. We're spot on,

671
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: even without seeing the rest in greg face there. Um

672
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: so the last like minute and forty seven seconds of

673
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: the show this yeah you know I got you. Sorry

674
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: it was it's more about this. I'm almost in favor

675
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: of the almost always in favor of, like players go

676
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: get your money, but this is the one time I

677
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: was like, no, I'm not on the player's side for this,

678
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: this one and is annoying to me. One player who

679
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: will not be getting all of his money this season

680
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: is David an your Mata, the Saints defensive line, one

681
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: of the best defensive players on the Saints roster that

682
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: will be suspended for the first six games of season

683
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: after testing positive for a band substance. Uh. This is

684
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: a twenty year old player who really did a lot

685
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: of damage on the interior for the New Orleans defensive line.

686
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: Seven sacks, nearly thirty QB hurries graded out very highly

687
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: over at PFF and creates more uncertainty around the Saints

688
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: greg a year a Saints team that obviously has questions

689
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: at quarterback. And then you also don't forget about Marshawn

690
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: Lott Lattimore, who was arrested in March uh in Cleveland,

691
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: so we don't really know his status exactly. A lot

692
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: up in the air. The Saints really high variants for

693
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: me where they can land this year. Yeah, especially because

694
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: of the defense. They've had a good defense lately and

695
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: they've gotten used to that. But on paper, I remember,

696
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: this is why I like doing the projected starters writing

697
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: other than on your mata. This is like the thinnest

698
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: defensive tackle group in the league. And now when your

699
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: matas gone for the first six games. So you're Saints fan,

700
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: you've gotten used to a good defense. I don't know.

701
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: Their defensive tackle group looks poor there. Off ball linebackers

702
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: look pretty bad. The warnerback situation is very thin. Suddenly,

703
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: like they've had some bad defenses under Dennis Allen remember

704
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: those days the same court, Like they've had some of

705
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: the worst defense in the league, and I don't know

706
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 1: they've gotten used to this like top ten sort of defense.

707
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they should be used to that anymore.

708
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: You're gonna need Jamis. That's why you need Jamis out

709
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: there throwing for fifty touchdowns. You get this Taysom Hill score.

710
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: Try to win a score low scoring game. That's not

711
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: happening with this defense. I mean, you could need something,

712
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're gonna get it, but at least you

713
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: go for the high variants, high upside guys, because this

714
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: defense isn't keeping. You're not gonna be winning these Taysom

715
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: Hill games like they had in Denver when they were

716
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: going against their you know, third string wide receiver for

717
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos at quarterback. I can't remember that his name anymore,

718
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: do you guys remember? I mean, he was like that

719
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: was hard. That was really hard, and I'd prefer to

720
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: just we should forget his name because that was not

721
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: fair to that young There you go, Darius hinting, Is

722
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: that right? No? Darius Swinton's the special team's coach for

723
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I had very little to add. As you

724
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: can see in my hand what I hold right it

725
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: is a bottom half of a blender cup. Yeah, so

726
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 1: much like on your Mada's defense, which is, I must

727
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: have taken something that I was not aware of what

728
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: it is. In Inside that smoothie cup was two scoops

729
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: of or Gain peanut butter protein powder, and I, too,

730
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: like professional football players, do not check the contents of

731
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: my protein powder. I simply look for a flavor that

732
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: I like and it's not chalky. And I dropped those

733
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: scoops in not knowing whether or not perhaps there is

734
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 1: something in there that would lead to my getting a six.

735
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm guessing though they don't pretty good, I'm on their talent.

736
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: Though they don't test. That's a good thing they don't,

737
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: because look, I'm small. I am changed like that. Um,

738
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm one of those husbands that my wife just sticks

739
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: something in front of me and I drink it and

740
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: need it. If my wife wanted to just knock knock

741
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: me out, it'd be that it'd be that easy. If

742
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: she wanted to dateline me out of the picture to

743
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: collect some life insurance. If it's a phantom thread, you, yeah,

744
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: it's one of my friends. I probably should not add this,

745
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: but I will. Much like that, Dan my, uh my,

746
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: My formative years were it did not matter what party,

747
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: what club, what time, who the person was. If anybody

748
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: puts something in my hand or in I took it.

749
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: It was. It led to some very very bad, horrible decisions.

750
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: Uh and and many things that I don't remember. But

751
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: I was the king of Hey, dude, you gotta try this,

752
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: all right, and then they just let's see what happens.

753
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 1: Any kids listening at home, don't do it, money, don't listen.

754
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: I will. I will say one of those nights ended

755
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: behind bars, uh for something that eventually was dismissed. But yes,

756
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: don't do that. Mike Florio is working on the article

757
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: right now as he digs through. Well, the funny thing

758
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: is that all the nights, right, I will. I will

759
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: share with you if you care. Uh. It actually was.

760
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: It was the one time that it was mistaken identity.

761
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: Like I was. I was in the middle of the

762
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: street at like two in the morning and this cop

763
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: rolled up and on the south side of your ugle

00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, you get in, and they threw

765
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: me in the back of the car with my friend Sean.

766
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: We're like, what the hell is going on? And they're

767
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: like yeah you we we got you. Woman's coming up

768
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: to the car and this woman sticks her head in

00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 1: the car. She's like, yeah, it's them terrifying and uh yeah,

770
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 1: they said, apparently we had busted into a building site

771
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: and uh we're joy riding a bulldozer around the neighborhood,

772
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: of which we weren't. Then that's you know, I was

773
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: all piste off And when my friend Shawn's dad comes

774
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: to pick us up, we're, you know, kitching and moaning

775
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: and he's like, hey, how many times have you guys

776
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: done dumbass s and not gotten arrested? Like, yeah, you know,

777
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: probably probably every day. He's like, all right, fine, so

778
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: let's call it even shut up, quit your line. And

779
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: it's like, alright, sorry, Mr Real, We're good. Um in

780
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: retirement news, it's get sid stepping a couple of heads,

781
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: still going look out at least going block one block

782
00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: and he's gone, yeah this time, Oh Ted Gain, you monster,

783
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: you monster, My nightmares. That was a two thousand nine

784
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: game at the Meadow Ends where again ran back two

785
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: kickoffs for touchdowns. That was the first Rex Ryan year

786
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: where nobody could score in the Jets defense, but Ted

787
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: Gain accounted for twelve points on his own with two

788
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: uh triple digit kickoff returns. And he did that for

789
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: a long time in this league. He just retired. He

790
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: announced his retirement. He was always a special team's ace money.

791
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: There was always offensive coordinators and head coaches who thought

792
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: they could turn him into a bigger part of an offense. Uh.

793
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: And sometimes he did find a nice little niche. But

794
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: that's how I remember Ted Gain as a guy who

795
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: did not want to kick it too on special teams. Well,

796
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: I wish I remembered in the same way, because unfortunately

797
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: I'll always remember him and it's not it's not fair

798
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: to him right as Uh. We didn't grant draft Ted Gain. Okay,

799
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: we drafted the Gain family to the Miami Dolphins when

800
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: he was considered a giant reach at number nine and

801
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: I had to pull up the O seven draft. Remember

802
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: it was probably the most scrutinized and assaulted pick of

803
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: the OH seven draft. Uh. Right behind him, Patrick Willis,

804
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, Darrelle revis Um all got selected. Kind of

805
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: But who who are the fans? Who are the Dolphins

806
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: fans chanting for? And who did everyone say that they

807
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: blew um? You know? Their their draft because they just

808
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: took in over it was Brady Quinn. They were literally okay, Brady.

809
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn's career ended, you know, seven or eight years ago.

810
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: Better career, much better career. People think of him as

811
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: like you would be a bus I'm not saying that

812
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: was a great pick, but I would. I would guess

813
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: if you go through top ten picks, like let's say

814
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: six through ten, he's better than average. He's better than

815
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: your average top ten pick to be that type of specialty.

816
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: So no doubt. And I'm not trying to remember, I'm

817
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: just saying I remember he had like eight hundred He

818
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 1: topped seven eight hundred yards many times in his career,

819
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: including for the Dolphins a couple of times. So as

820
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: a deep threat like stretching the field, plus the special team.

821
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: He had a couple of big playoff games for the

822
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: Saints when they got when they got taken out a

823
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. The guy who did that speech, yeah,

824
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: Mike Sherman had a lot of bad uh. I think

825
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: that's what that's who it was right over the years.

826
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: I think you're right, yeah, yeah, And it was just

827
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: it was oh no, no, no, it was Cam Cameron

828
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: that it was. It was Cam Cameron who got his

829
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: shot after being interim to be the head coach, I think.

830
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: And that's just the fact checkie there, Greg. He never

831
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: even began eight hundred yards, but he had seven hundred

832
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: yards like five different times. As big as year um

833
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver was in uh then thirty years

834
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: old with the Panthers. Um that was the big Cam year.

835
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: He was went forty four for seven thirty nine and

836
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. So yeah, a couple of very similar ones.

837
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah with the Saints and a couple of big playoff

838
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: games like I mentioned in that year where they lost

839
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: to Minnesota in the playoffs. It's like Ted Get added

840
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: something I would have never guessed. Ted Get had a

841
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: double digit touchdown season though as a receiver. That's I

842
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: would have never guessed. Interesting, But that was a special

843
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: year for the Panthers with Cam Newton two thousand UM.

844
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: All right. In other news, Brady Quinn, Brady Quinn, they

845
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: were outside in one of these things where they invent

846
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: where they invite the fans and and stuff. And now

847
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: it's funny, this is terrible. This is also terrible to say,

848
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: but I'll I always appreciate the quarterback that sits in

849
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: the green room too long. And remember Brady, and I

850
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: love Brady anybody that's ever been around him, He's such

851
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: a great guy to be around in the media. He's

852
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: self deprecating, he does not care. It's a lot of

853
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: fun to have him in the media with us. Now. Um,

854
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: but I remember he was jelled to the nines. His

855
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: hair was so ju and uh and you know he's

856
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: all small. He'said Like people that have ever been around Brady,

857
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: they don't realize how that guy is. I mean, he

858
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: is freaking giant. He is a legit six six and swoll.

859
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: But he had a girlfriend with him. Um, And the

860
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: second she came on camera the first time, he said,

861
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: she looks like a dipping bird, like you know those

862
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: little birds where you put the water in the bottom

863
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: bulb and it just goes. And so every time they

864
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: got to her for some reason, I was just sitting

865
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: in my living room watching the draft, going now, I

866
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: have to go check out the video of this. I remember,

867
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: my apologies. We were at the two thousand thirteen draft

868
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: at Radio City. That's when Gino Smith sat in the

869
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: green room for the entire first round and then I

870
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: think the Jets are on the board for the first

871
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: or second pick of the second round. They took Gino.

872
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: Gino stayed uh in New York and went back to

873
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: Radio City. But he changed out of his suit and

874
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: put on yellow sweater pull over sweater. Uh. And I

875
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: think that was in defiance of the AFT industrial complex.

876
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: That or the failure of the teams to respect him,

877
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: and that he did not have a great attitude when

878
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: he went on the stage either, like he was pretty annoyed,

879
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: um like he had to be talked into going back.

880
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: It seemed like, uh, not a great look in retrospect. Greg.

881
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: I know you will defend Geno Smith to the end,

882
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,919
Speaker 1: but I bet you put another suit back on. Let's

883
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: be serious. You're in New York, but buy another suit.

884
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 1: Don't tell me one suit ready. I've got an exercise,

885
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: I know I have already. Brand told him he was

886
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: going top ten. It's not his fault. You know what

887
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: does Gil Brand? No? I want you to go to

888
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,440

Speaker 1: more glorious and jelled and mulleted than you could. I mean,

Speaker 1: he looks like he's freaking c seated the stage boison Um.

899
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: He's in a pinstriped suit. He's got this MICHAELA. Moroney

900
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: style look of disgust and powered on his face. His

901
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: handsome girlfriend is right next to him. It is fantastic.

902
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 1: It really is. Uh it is. It's a it's a trigger.

903
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: And there's there's the girlfriend. There's a do you agree

904
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: dipping bird er? Now, I don't know if I can't

905
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: agree with that sentiment in two thousand twenty one, she

906
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: looks like a fine person. Money. I'm not saying she's

907
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: not a fine person. I'm just look, there are certain

908
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: things that some people say I look like a thumb.

909
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: That's fine. I'm okay if I look like a thumb.

910
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: I got a small head. No, I think you get

911
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: into trouble when you have the long hair like that,

912
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: if you put too much product in it, just it

913
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: looks like an oil spill. And that's what happened to

914
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn in the biggest of all spots. By the way,

915
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: I made him Kla Moroney reference. And for those that

916
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: don't know, Brady Quinn married to an Olympic gymnast. Yeah, sacrimony.

917
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: I believe he's married to Alicia sacrimony. Let's keep an

918
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: eye on their offspring in the professional realm going forward.

919
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: As speaking of Brady's, this is a different Brady. It's

920
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. And the Tampa Bay Times reports that Tom

921
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: Brady played through a partially torn mc L for the

922
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: entirety of season, and now NFL Network's Ian Rabbit Board

923
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: came in. He said it was a full tear. I mean,

924
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: the man is a hero. But I just want to

925
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: say this, Greg you you tend to get on certain people,

926
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson for trying to drive the media or drop

927
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: things nuggets that will make him look good or accomplished

928
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: certain things. And you know, I'm back on the Tom

929
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: Brady trained. I'm finally on the Tom Brady train. After

930
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: years of relenting and pain. But I have to say

931
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: some of the Brady stories that come out, it almost

932
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: feels like he has an entire PR team and they

933
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: have a calendar, and after let's say two weeks, it's like,

934
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 1: let's drop a little nugget out there, and all these

935
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: little insiders will be chomping at it, and they make

936
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: sure to get it out there. And if you're gonna

937
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: attack Russell Wilson for trying to manipulate the media for

938
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: his own game, Tom Brady is doing the same thing.

939
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: But Rust would have had it out during the season,

940
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: right after the season, all throughout this. The timeline of

941
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: this indicates to me it just sort of happened naturally,

942
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, somehow this u you know, you know, and

943
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: Ian only jumped in and really was almost rude. He

944
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: gave him a quote tweet. Actually I had to like,

945
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: Rick Scout's got this big breaking news. Uh, this guy's

946
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: got a partially tour an mcl and Ian immediately goes

947
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: for the quote retweet. Actually it was fully torn and

948
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: I was like, did Stroud come at you for this?

949
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: Because and I I wanted to know it's Stroud. I

950
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: think total professional. Um, he wasn't upset with Ian. But

951
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: that and but that tells me Ian was sitting on

952
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: this news he knew knew it all along, and he

953
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: wasn't ever going to report it. But then that's that's true.

954
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: That's a bad job I because that is something that

955
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: you know, but they have all the time. You know

956
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: how it works, they're told they can't do it. He

957
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: had it the whole time, and then once it was

958
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: out there, he's going to clarify the situation. And maybe

959
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: that's why, Maybe that's why Ian didn't tweet it out,

960
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: because he is a power broker in the game of

961
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: NFL information right and Brady's people, we're telling him, hey,

962
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: I want you to hold this. Maybe maybe we start

963
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: the season zero and two. Maybe Tom throws three picks

964
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: in the first couple, then we're gonna strategically drop. Oh,

965
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: by the way, you know that guy won the Super

966
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 1: Bowl on a fully torn a m c l ian.

967
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: You'r a go yeah, hey, ghost writer, you're a full

968
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: go let that thing fly. You know, because so many

969
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: that he had it in his back pocket, they were

970
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: gonna give the go gos, go team go signal to

971
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 1: the insiders. In this case Ian, like when Brady threw

972
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: three in or seven and this sticks and a lot

973
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: of people's crossed. Not me so much because I'm on

974
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: team Brady now, Greg, as you know, but he threw

975
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: three interceptions in the NFC Championship game. If the Packers

976
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: were able to take advantage of that, uh and win

977
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 1: that game, that m c l tear story comes out

978
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: Monday after coming that then or what this? How about

979
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: this hypothetical? How about this hypothetical? Let me let me

980
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: get in here real quick, Greg, and then you can

981
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: take it. Games are about to show up for training camps,

982
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: right what was that protein shake? Money? A lot of cocaine?

983
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: So I'm so excited. Uh, we're gonna know immediately who's

984
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: vaccinated who's not based on guys just wearing masks or

985
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: not wearing masks, wearing wristbands. What if Brady's one of

986
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: the unvaccinated and that becomes a huge story and instead

987
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, fire that m cl story off. Let's

988
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: let's get this on vaccinated. And I'm not saying he

989
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: is here, he isn't. I'm just saying, maybe that's the

990
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: next mountain that some of these players are going to

991
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: have to climb once the media sees he is that

992
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: guy wearing a mask or is he not wearing a mask?

993
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 1: What's going on over here? It did get Brady. Brady

994
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: has been in the news. The floodgates in terms of

995
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: leaking to the media and keeping Brady in the news.

996
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: Is are definitely open post Patriots. I mean, it is

997
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: a different it is a different vibe. But what annoys

998
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: me most about Brady right now are the tweets from

999
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 1: people who should know better. They're just like, it's scary

1000
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: how good Tom Brady is at this social media game.

1001
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: And I like, Brady is the least funny person ever.

1002
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: We've had decades of experience seeing him not you know,

1003
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: be like a humorous guy. That's not his strength. And

1004
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: suddenly everyone's like, Wow, Brady's got these great zingers and

1005
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: you know, gifts on Twitter. It's like, you think Tom

1006
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: Brady is really, uh, pounding the Twitter pavement, Give me

1007
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: a break? How did I do think? However, because he

1008
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: isn't funny at all. I do think he has his

1009
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: own I do think he runs his own Twitter Greg

1010
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: and I think when he like when he got that

1011
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 1: thing to work against Bryson, he hit it so hard.

1012
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just like the same joke over

1013
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: and over and over and over. It's like, we get it.

1014
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: People laughed, it was funny. You took a shot at

1015
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. It was great enough. He hired the best

1016
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: social media team money can buy because he's Tom Brady.

1017
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you you know, um and other news that

1018
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: you know this story concerns me because you know that

1019
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: I have a lot invested, both financially and emotionally in

1020
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: the Kicker club and young like Coup had an incredible

1021
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 1: season for the Atlanta Falcons last season. Uh, his first

1022
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: team All Pro? Did you guys know that first team?

1023
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: Sure did? He got his jeep stolen. I guess what's

1024
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: in the geep bros? His lucky cleats. Here's what Coup

1025
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: wrote on Instagram in a post that' john empty parking

1026
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 1: lot where it's truck used to be. That sucks. I

00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: love that MFS stole my jeep. S mh m S

00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: bring my cleats back? Though? I won't even be mad, bro,

1030
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,479
Speaker 1: just bring all my cleats back so I can go kick.

1031
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: How about a reboot money? I know you know the

1032
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies of all time. Uh and

1033
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: one that as a child I watched endlessly Pewee's Big

1034
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: Adventure when Peewee goes on the hunt for his stolen

1035
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: bike ends up in the Alamo. There's no biseman in

1036
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: the Alamo, Janet Hooks said famously, basement, how about Ku

1037
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 1: looking for his cleats a monitored updating starring an NFL star.

1038
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: Just behind that. I can get behind that. He's a

1039
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: dynamic personality, you know, um, I will say you're casting

1040
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 1: coup in this though, right, Yeah, he's playing himself looking

1041
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: for his Do we know where it was? Was he?

1042
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 1: Was he in the greater Atlanta area? Was he in

1043
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: his hometown? Where? Where is? Where is young? Who? What

1044
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: does the backdrop for this? Vehicles? Genores Jenkins left his

1045
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: like three thousand dollar car at the airport for three

1046
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: weeks and then I was surprised it wasn't It's very smart.

1047
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: Do you guys ever have a car stolen or a

1048
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: significant breaking. I had the doors of my jeep stolen

1049
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: by a crackhead? The doors the doors? Yeah, why do

1050
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: you think it was a crackhead because that sounds like

1051
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: a professional job to get the doors off. No on

1052
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: a jeep, they just slide right off because you can

1053
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: drive around without doors on a jeep Wrangler. So um.

1054
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: And I know he was a crackhead because when I

1055
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 1: showed up at the courthouse wanting to fight the guy

1056
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: the day they arraigned him, they were like, hey, take

1057
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 1: it easy, man, the guy's really in bad shape. He's

1058
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: a drug addict. He was living on the street. He

1059
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: stole your doors so we could buy more crack. And

1060
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, whatever, I guess I'm supposed to

1061
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 1: have compassion for this guy. And I had to drive

1062
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: around in a car with no freaking doors on it

1063
00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: for two weeks. Yeahell you, Greg. I had a like

1064
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: car stereo stolen in New Orleans when that was a thing,

1065
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: you know, when the car stereos are a cool thing

1066
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: you could detach and have stolen. That's about it, though,

1067
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still looking for the source of whatever

1068
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: where that you was stolen? But what about you, Dan,

1069
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: what's been sting you. I've been lucky. I've been lucky

1070
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: in terms of the on the car end of things. Um.

1071
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: But I have a close buddy who I actually just

1072
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: spent a weekend with it was good to see him.

1073
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: And we went back to his cars, like and the

1074
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: UM side window was broken and two things were taken

1075
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 1: his UM bathing suit, the swimsuit was gone and his

1076
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: and this one hurt especially in and this will connect

1077
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: with you. Money is somebody that um loves music and

1078
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: worked in the industry. Your giant book of CDs that

1079
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: you would take with you and you would have your

1080
00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: entire UM music collection, you know, two hundred four hundred

1081
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,399
Speaker 1: CDs were thousands of dollars and that got swiped out

1082
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 1: of there as well, and that that was a crushing

1083
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: moment for my buddy. Yeah. I like the idea of

1084
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: Greg rolling into a party in high school with his

1085
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: pull out Alpine in his hand, going what's up? Hanging

1086
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: out all night with his car stereo walking around because

1087
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: he had to pull out It's like, well, traveling everywhere

1088
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: with this car stereo. Um all right. Finally in the news,

1089
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson does not have a job. He's staying in shape,

1090
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: he tells Sports Talk seven ninety hopes to sign with

1091
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: a team before the season starts. He wants to get

1092
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: a ring. Uh. Since he's come into the league in

1093
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: two thousand seven, he's piled up an outrageous uh number

1094
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: of stats in the rushing game. He's I think he's closed.

1095
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: He's in the top five all time and rushing of

1096
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: course at that two thousand yard season coming back from

1097
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: the blown out knee. But now he just wants to

1098
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: hang around as a backup and get that chip m.

1099
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: I think I think we'll see him again. He was

1100
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: playing at a high enough level that someone should sign

1101
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: him at some point, whether it's in camp after an

1102
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: injury or during the season after an injury. A p

1103
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: the Bill parcels is him. He's a progress stopper. At

1104
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: this point, it was career. Don't you want a younger

1105
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: running back that's more dynamic. Get a look at him

1106
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: rather than Peterson slamming into the line for three yards

1107
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: every time we give it. He ran better than that

1108
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: last year, though, I'm just basing it on what the

1109
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: tape shows, you know, I'm just telling you what the

1110
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: tape shows. He was legitimately an average to above average

1111
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: likely I think so, like just in terms of his

1112
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: burse and like getting you're right, he's not gonna be

1113
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: breaking and he's got limitations, so that puts them below average,

1114
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's not gonna help you on passing that

1115
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: he's got limitations, but yes, some guys out there, he's

1116
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: better than some guys out there. First there, I would

1117
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 1: just add quickly, there's you know, it's it's the position

1118
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 1: with the most attrition. So he's gonna get brought in

1119
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 1: for tryouts and if he beats out the guys that

1120
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: they bring in that are still sitting out there, then

1121
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: he'll get a job. And to your point, Greggy average

1122
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 1: nearly four yards to carry seven touchdowns surprisingly with Detroit

1123
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: last season in limited work ten starts. Uh, he's beat

1124
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: up and and there are um several well known veterans

1125
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: still out there. Greg, did you take a look at

1126
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: the list? I did, Then you know there's a lot.

1127
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: Mitchell Schwartz, he's coming off an injury like that's like, uh,

1128
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, a quality player if he decides to play again,

1129
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: is healthy enough justin Houston played a lot last year.

1130
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: Pretty well, he's not on a team. kJ Wright, Uh

1131
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: never went back to Seattle. Kind of thought that would happen.

1132
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: Kwan Short might be done, but um, he's only a

1133
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: couple of years removed from being like a first team

1134
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: opro and isn't that old, So there's there's still some

1135
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: names out there. Sherman was another guy fairly high on

1136
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: that list before all this happened. But we went over him.

1137
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, was there any in your top

1138
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: one oh one of this year? I assumed Sherman was

1139
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: on that list? Anyone else that that was? That was?

1140
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: I was just reading off of that. Houston was pretty

1141
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: high up there. And what other obstacles for Peterson? As

1142
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: we come back around um to close it out, He's

1143
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: got a lot of He's got a lot of company

1144
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,479
Speaker 1: in terms of the veteran thirty plus or around thirty

1145
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: running backs looking for jobs. This is I don't know

1146
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: if this is an outdated list, but I know for

1147
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: a fact several of these guys, if not all of them,

1148
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: are still unemployed. Lev Bell, Todd Gurley. Uh did Duke

1149
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: Johnson get a job? No? Okay, Peterson, Chris Thompson, Dion Lewis,

1150
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: Tavonta Freeman, Lashawn McCoy, alf Morris uh all without jobs

1151
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: or you guys do the double checking, I can get

1152
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: get Duke Johnson a job. I guess he's just never

1153
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: He's just always going to be underrated. I don't understand it. Um,

1154
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: that's what's happening in the news. Before we go. We'd

1155
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: like to do this. We like to check in every

1156
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: once in a while, especially this this year, Um we are,

1168
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: on Instagram. It was a glorious sunrise as I got

1169
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: out early before the sun came up, and it was

1170
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful, and I did take a moment. I even

1171

1174
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: That's the only thing surfers talk about is just the

1175
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: sunrise in the sunset. So epic. Everything's epic. Definitely, what's

1176
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:07,000

01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: that I'm not that into children or Bible, um, but

1213
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: it's like I don't want to give too much away,

1214
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: but it's kind of like kids, kids on vacation, um,

1215
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of Lord of the Flies thing, a

1216
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: little bit of dystopia, very much of the moment of

1217
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: like our coming climate emergency, but in a small way.

1218
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: And they really kept it really gets how like teenagers

1219
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: have absolutely no use for the previous generation. In a

1220
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: very funny the climate emergency isn't coming. It's here, bud, right,

1221
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: that's that's that's what it's about. So a storm comes

1222
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: and and that's a little wild. I would really hard

1223
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: recommend that. It's one of my favorite book they've write

1224
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: in a long time. What's it called again? A children's

1225
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: Bible by Lydia. It's like a quick read but very

1226
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: smart too. How about that? Now I gotta follow that up.

1227
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Now I gotta follow a book, my god, Like I

1228
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: don't ready about head surper. Guy here doesn't read? Thanks

1229
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: a lot, Greg, I mean when did when did? Like

1230
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: You're like, I don't want to be that guy. Like

1231
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: reading has been the most popular leisure activity. It's supposed

1232
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: to be fun, and I just do it for fun.

1233
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: It is fun, and I agree, there's nothing like high

1234
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: culture about it. It's been like the lowest and most

1235
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: popular culture in the history of our civilization. So I

1236
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: still view it as pop culture. It's not. Why are

1237
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: you being defensive about books because because of what he said?

1238
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 1: Because well, no I had said the way my camera

1239
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 1: was positioned. Greg and I were joking before the broadcast began.

1240
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: I said, hey, hold on, let me make sure I

1241
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: got the right books in sight for people that it's

1242
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: not trashy novel you really think high of yourself, I

1243
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: will give you a television program that is easy to consume.

1244
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: I actually watched the last night. It just debuted last night,

1245
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: and it's going to play into my my dumbass surfer persona,

1246
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: but just debuting on and I will I will recommend

1247
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: this by pointing out when wife said you want to

1248
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: watch something tonight together, I was like yeah, And we

1249
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: start thumbing through and I click on the one hundred

1250
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: Foot Wave on HBO Max and she's like, are you

1251
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: really going to make me watch a surf doc? And

1252
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: right now you're watching this thing? This this isn't really

1253
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 1: a surf doc. I cannot recommend that enough. Garrett McNamara

1254
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: is one of those big wave riders, arguably one of

1255
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: the best in the world, like puts his life on

1256
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: the line every single time he gets into one of

1257
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: these waves. And it's basically about the discovery of Nazare

1258
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: in Portugal, which I don't know. I'm sure you've probably

1259
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 1: seen it. Remember the news story of the woman that

1260
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: rode the biggest wave of and it was just this giant,

1261
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: hulking wave. And it's about how he found the wave,

1262
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: how the city had to get behind him in order

1263
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: to figure out whether or not this wave was going

1264
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: to kill you or not, and everything that went into it.

1265
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: And it is, it's fascinating. It's eye candy. Um, it's compelling. Yeah,

1266
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: it's really It's on HBO Max. It's really really this

1267
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: was just episode one. I don't know how any episodes

1268
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: there are, but it's like ninety minutes. Cannot recommend it enough,

1269
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: which sounds like a good program to uh, get a

1270
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: little loose and then turn off the lights and watch it.

1271
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: Um anything else in my how about you? Well? I

1272
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: got a couple of ones, all right. First of all,

1273
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: Once upon a time in Hollywood. Uh. This is Quentin

1274
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: Tarantino's novel based on the movie. And if you love

1275
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: that movie, and I know Sessler loves it, and I

1276
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: adore that film, watched it many times now since it

1277
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: came out, I think last summer. It kind of digs

1278
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: a little deeper into some of the storylines from that movie.

1279
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 1: And uh, Tarantino wrote it. Uh, so you have some

1280
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: fun with it. And now even like the format, it's

1281
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: like a drug store. Put it in your back pocket,

1282
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 1: UM type book in an easy read. You can knock

1283
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: it out immediately. Um. And you should do that and

1284
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: check out the movie if you haven't. Speaking of a

1285
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: watching things, doctor Death, Now this is not even a

1286
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: show I can necessarily say that is good. But it's

1287
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: on Peacock. I just started watching it with my in

1288
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: laws and my wife last night. It's about a doctor

1289
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: in Texas who was just a butcher and was just

1290
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 1: it was a neck and spine doctor. Is a true story.

1291
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 1: It's very sad. I know this story. Yeah, I know.

1292
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: This was an absolute butcher and he would people would

1293
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: go in for fusion surgeries and and uh to take

1294
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: care of her neated disks. Things like that that are

1295
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: obviously any surgery serious, but it should have been one,

1296
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: two three, and they were ending up either dead or paraplegics,

1297
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: all sorts of terrible things happening. And it's a story

1298
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: about these other doctors who went on a quest to

1299
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: stop him and get him out of the scrubs because

1300
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: the man was either sociopath or just completely an incompetent boob,

1301
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: and it was a little harder to stop him than

1302
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 1: you would think because of the various medical protocols. The

1303
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: tell it's based off a podcast series from one jury

1304
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 1: that was huge. I haven't checked that out, but the

1305
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: the television series has an amazing cast. It's the doctor

1306
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: Death is played by Pacy Witter from Dawson's Creek Joshua Jackson,

1307
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: which is just if you're a man of a certain

1308
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: age or a woman of a certain age, that's excellent.

1309
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: Christian Slater, who's just chewing up the scenery, is one

1310
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: of the good guys. And Baldwin ALC. Baldwin, my spirit animal,

1311
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 1: uh prominently involved as well. So check it out. And

1312
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: then my last thing is be like trash culture, true

1313
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: trash culture, and you like really bad movies, good bad movies,

1314
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: movies that tried to be good but ended up being

1315
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: hilariously bad. Go spend to and watch money Plane, starring Uh,

1316
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 1: the wrestler Edge and Kelsey grammar U. One of the

1317
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: one of the great It came out last year, one

1318
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: of the yes, one of the good bad movies that

1319
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 1: I've seen in many years. And I tracked this stuff

1320
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: fairly closely, like The Room, for instance, which became in Station. Uh.

1321
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: It's not truly a great bad movie unless the people

1322
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: who made it weren't in on the joke. And money

1323
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Plane they were not in on the joke. So that out.

1324
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: If you are into that type of trash culture, which

1325
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: I am, I don't need to like tell you about

1326
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: some fancy intellectual book. I'll tell you what I like.

1327
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 1: That's what I like. Yeah, Greg, Greg, what I'm talking about?

1328
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: Can snob. You must have loved think you're better than

1329
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: all of us, and you must have loved season two

1330
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: if I think you should leave to Dana, have you

1331
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: watched that yet? So good? So I'm really surprised that

1332
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: people Dan turn his mic off. I really surprised people

1333
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: say yes that that then the first season, because I

1334
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: think I liked it even more. I think by the nature.

1335
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: That show, it's it's hit or miss, but when it hits,

1336
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 1: it's outrageous. And yes, I do like that show a lot. Greg,

1337
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: do me a favorite. Let's let's let's show how smart

1338
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 1: you are. Close your eyes and reach behind you and

1339
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 1: grab a book and let's see what the title is.

1340
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: Just close your eyes, reach behind you on that beautiful bookshelf.

1341
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: You play so strategically, and let's see what comes out

1342
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: of there. Nice little small one. This is Weather by

1343
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: Jennie Offal, great book. Oh yeah, a little quick short read.

1344
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: You better stop money, you're gonna give, You're gonna this.

1345
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to get the business. Someone's got to come

1346
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: on here and give Greg the business. Those are the rules.

1347
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: I would think that I almost take a front to

1348
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,600
Speaker 1: that theory that no one never says to Greg that

1349
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:14,640
Speaker 1: they disagree with them. I do it quite often, but

1350
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: there's just so much to disagree with. The show would

1351
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,640
Speaker 1: go on for seventeen hours like that. Exactly, I know it,

1352
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: and that's exactly my point. I recognize that Greg is

1353
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 1: a bully. He's always pushing, pushing, pushing, He's constantly pushing

1354
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 1: people around here, and you, like you said, you can't

1355
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 1: call him on everything or else, like the show would

1356
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 1: go on for three hours every time Money comes on.

1357
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean Greg, somehow it's like it's it's like, uh

1358
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: that I heard I heard that, by the way, I

1359
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:41,720
