0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Pelt from the mother Ship will join us. It was

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>a year ago tonight that we had Rudy Gobert the

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Thunder the Utah Jazz and they shut things down and

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Van Peasey was doing Sports Center did a great job

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>anchoring that night. So we'll talk to him about what

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that was like a year ago. Mike Florio Pro Football

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 1>Talk will join us coming up in a little bit.

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about what Dak Prescott's contract is going to

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>mean for Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Baker Mayfield, because

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I think Lamar Jackson agent, his mom is probably looking

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>at that deal, going, oh, it's nice. Dak got a

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>nice little deal there. Wait till you see mine and

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen same thing, because those are two quarterbacks that

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 1>are held in higher regard than Dak Prescott. But Baker Mayfield.

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Baker is going to get those numbers.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>But we'll talk to Florio about that coming up. NFL

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Franchise Tag Day came and went and some interesting names

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>got the tag. The Bears Allen Robinson might be the

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>most underrated wide receiver in the game, The Giants Leonard Williams,

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>the Jags, Cam Robinson, just a name a few. The Buccaneers.

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I think they announced to the NFL they're going to

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>run this back. They wanted to make sure that they

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>kept the offense in tac bringing back Chris Godwin, not

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>defensive end Shack Barrett, but they'll work on a deal

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to bring him back, and that means Barrett hits the

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>open market if they can't get a deal done. Keep

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>an eye on the Lions Kenny Galladay, he might get

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty million dollars a year. Steelers Bud Dupree, the Chargers

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Henry, They're also headed to the market. Free agency

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 1>franchise tag sometimes require a PhD In economics to understand

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 1>because they have their own language. Where else do we

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>use the word tender in the world of sports, And remember,

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>nobody knows free agents like their own teams. The smart

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>gms usually don't let the players, the great players hit

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>free agency unless they're not that interested in bringing them back.

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>So even though there's going to be some exciting names

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 1>on that list, buyer beware to some Most of the

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>deals look good now, but you never know which ones

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.959
<v Speaker 1>will actually work out. Mclovin, you got a poll question

<v Speaker 1>first order. Okay, we've been workshopping a basketball one, but

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm saved that because I have a couple of NFL

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>questions before you get to that. Okay, this is a

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>New York centric who feels more hopeless today the New

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>York Jets or the New York Giants. Giants win the

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>news they gave their pressor yesterday. Yeah, Dave Gettlman, their

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>GM said that they have a decision to make on

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>whether they bring back well Daniel Jones and sae Quon Barkley.

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Right here is Dave Gettlman, the Giants GM on their

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacking situation. You do your evaluation. We've had Daniel for

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 1>two years. We've done the evaluation on him, and we

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>really believe he's the guy. You know, no reason to go. Look,

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean everybody, you know, what we're doing is in

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football. We're not playing. We're not doing that. And

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>again I say this all the time. The kid just

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>finished his second year of NFL football. All right, how

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>many of us after two years at our new job,

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>we're great. No, we all start at point A and

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>we hopefully get to point Z. But the one common

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>denominator is it takes time. Everybody's going to understand that

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>where we believe in Daniel and that's where it is. Okay,

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you're back, and you're guy. I'm more curious about sae

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Quon Barkley than I am Daniel Jones right now. I

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>think they saw glimpses with Daniel Jones, you know, the

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 1>fumbling issues, trying to you know, their quarterbacks. Dave Craig

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>played a long time in the NFL, but he had

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>problems with fumbling, and I don't know if those things

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 1>are fixable, which sounds strange of just holding onto the

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>football as a quarterback. We saw tike Ball Harbor had

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>a problem with fumbling, but they changed how he held

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the football and he became one of the great running

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>backs in his era. As far as a quarterback who

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't hold on to the football, I don't know how

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>fixable that is. But Daniel Jones is your quarterback. Sequon

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Barkley is really the key because I don't want to

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>give him another contract, not yet, but they're going to

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>have to make that decision here coming up. Yeah. I

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>mcglevin another poll related to this, and I do think

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 1>the Jets might be in a better situation because I

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>know what the Giants have. The Jets, they're still the

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 1>possibility of Do they trade Sam Darnold, Do they draft

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Zach Wilson, Do they do something really dynamic? Does somebody

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>give them a few draft picks to move up to

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>number two. That's what I'm curious at about, because you've

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>got a proven GM, you got a new head coach,

0:05:56.200 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and maybe you have an ability to hit the reset

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>by drafting a rookie quarterback. I would say the Jets

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, because I sort of know what

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I have with the Giants, and I don't know how

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>good that is. It feels like it's average. Yeah, Paul,

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, I feel better about the

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Giants because they feel historically like a more stable franchise,

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a more generally competitive franchise. But I just looked they've

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.159
<v Speaker 1>made the playoffs twice in the past twelve seasons. That's

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>really bad. Yeah, I mean that's that's a lot worse

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>run of their history. Yeah, mcclub, it'sn't weird that I'd

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 1>be more excited about Sam Darnold than Daniel Jones. I don't.

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why. Like Sam Darnold in a new place,

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>like feels like a more higher ceiling than than Daniel Jones. Yeah,

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm high on either one of them,

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 1>but it feels like you can see the embryonic stages

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of something that's promising. With Daniel Jones. He's athletic, but

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he can be great. It feels

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>like everybody's looking at their quarterbacking situation and they want

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>to know, can that gud be great? And this is

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the Patrick Mahomes effect. Yeah, I don't. I have two

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>years of patience right now, that's it, and then I go, man,

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to move on maybe three years at the most. Well,

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>we've sort of seen Sam Darnold. I think Sam would

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>do better in another organization, another system, And the Jets

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>get your quarterback. If you're sold on that quarterback, don't

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 1>take one because you go, we may never be up

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>here again. Well, you're the Jets, you probably will be.

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>But if you're sold on Sam Darnold, you use that

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>second pick overall for something dynamic, or you trade that

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>pick that can help you. But you've got to be

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>really good at drafting, Like that's the key. These teams

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that have draft picks and we go, oh boy, they

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of draft picks. Are they any good

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>at drafting. That's usually what it comes down to. Are

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you any good at drafting? And a lot of these

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>teams aren't like the Cleveland Browns for years, but they

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of draft picks. Yeah, who they take? Well,

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>they took Brandon Whedon. Oh remember they took some cornerback

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>out of Oklahoma State who was out of the league

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>in like a year or two. I think that was

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the ninth pick. Overall. We were all excited that year

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>because they had a couple picks. Who was that Justin Gilbert? Baby?

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>That's right? Yes, yes, Ton. Aren't you a little more

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>hopeful if you're the Giants? Has in the immediate future?

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Just from from a division standpoint, I know the Cowboys

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>got back back to a new deal, but just as

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 1>far as the division that's less and more competitive they

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>want to be on the Giants. Well, if you're saying

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>you could win nine games and win the division, yeah,

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>you're right, because you have. The Jets are in a

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.679
<v Speaker 1>division with Buffalo. Miami's getting better as well in New

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>England we think will get better again. But as far

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>as how good is my team? I like the upside

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Jets more than the Giants, like I don't

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>go boy. You know, I'd take the Giants because they

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>played a crappy division. That wasn't the question like who's

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>more likely to win their division? The Giants? But who

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>can build a better team right now? I would look

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>at the Jets if they're smart with what they do.

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I like the upside with that. You know, the Giants

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 1>have a running back that you know you're going to

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.679
<v Speaker 1>spend a lot of money on. He's a star. There

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of twenty six jerseys in New York.

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>But the Jets, you know, they had the Levy on

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Bell situation. They got out from underneath, that got out

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>from Adam Gays. Maybe it feels like there, you know,

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a breath or fresh air for the Jets. Believe

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>it or not. Yeah, point I had that idea a

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>few months ago that the Jets and the Giants would

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>merge franchises and see if they can put a good

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:45.959
<v Speaker 1>team together. That didn't get a lot of tracks. I

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's illegal. Saquon Barkley, though in three

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 1>seasons he's missed one third of his games, he's missed

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>over thirty percent of his games, and he's an average

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>running back when he plays above average running back. You know,

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>he averages seventy five yards the game. That's twenty five

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>fewer yards than Zekiel Elliott. Well, he was pretty good

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 1>his first year, Yeah he had, Yeah, he first two years.

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 1>His numbers are okay, thirteen hundred yards and a thousand yards,

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of receptions, yes, but overall, you know, it's

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.559
<v Speaker 1>it's not worth fifty million dollars. No, I don't want

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to sign him up to another contract, and he's coming

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>off knee surgery as well. But yeah, they have some

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>decisions to make there. But feels like they got their

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 1>guy in Daniel Jones. And I mean that that's the

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>big hurdle. Do you have the quarterback you truly believe

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>in and if you do, then you start to improve

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the roster. It's these teams that are I think we

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.719
<v Speaker 1>ran down the list. There are probably ten teams who

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>were sold on their quarterbacks right now. That's a lot

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>of teams who weren't sold on their quarterbacks. Weren't the

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks on that list, though they were they were By

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>the way, I didn't bring this up yesterday. We had

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>other things to talk about. But the Russell Wilson situation

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>with the season ticket holders where the owner sends out

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>this three paragraph missive and talking about the excitement and

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the new season and singles out DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett,

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.559
<v Speaker 1>the new offensive coordinator. I think the running backs coach

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 1>got mentioned. Russell Wilson did not get mentioned in that

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>letter to your season ticket holders, and I thought that's

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>really petty on the part of the Seattle Seahawks. Keep

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>in mind, Russell Wilson was the NFL Man of the

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Year and he doesn't even make it into your season

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>ticket holder newsletter. Do you think that was like an

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 1>accidental omission? Probably not very petty, very petty on the

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 1>part of Seattle. You're supposed to be the grown ups. Yeah,

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Russell's ups. That should Russ be calling out his offensive line? No?

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Is he part of the problem holding onto the ball

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>too long? Yes, all of those things. But you're the Seahawks,

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.679
<v Speaker 1>the ownership, and you put out this letter to your

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>season ticket holders and you forget the NFL Man of

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the Year, and then you realize they didn't forget. That

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>was okay, you want to go public, We're gonna go

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>public as well. Yeah, boy, I'm gonna go grade school

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>on you. And you know, I love me some Russ Wilson,

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 1>but you started it. That's what I would say if

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I was Seahawks management or a Seahawks owner. I pay

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.599
<v Speaker 1>you thirty five million dollars a year. You're under contract.

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>We're going to do our best to help you out.

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>But I have people who are my GM. I have

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>a player personnel person. You know, you do your job

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>at quarterback, and I'll do this. But if you say

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to give you a list of teams I

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:57.599
<v Speaker 1>want to be with, then let's let's go back at it.

0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>In the media, That's what the ownership probably said to himself.

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like, hey, I pay this guy a lot of

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>money and he doesn't want to be here, or he

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of doesn't want to be here. Yeah, but your ownership,

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.559
<v Speaker 1>you don't go public because he went public? Yeah you did. No,

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you always answer no, not like that. Most of these owners.

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Who's the owner of the Seahawks? He taste he's probably

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 1>some rich guy, right, I think it's no. Remember likely

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it was Paul Allen passed away. It's his family. So

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Steve Allen or whatever the name is. Oh, it's a her. Her,

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>she's the owner. She's probably upset that like, uh, you

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>know they took this, he took this public. But if

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>your kid does something wrong, you don't go you know, hey,

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 1>don't smack your sister. Now I'm gonna smack you. In

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.199
<v Speaker 1>the old days, Yes, that did happen in my households

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 1>right with Hey, you hit your brother, I'm gonna hit

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you with a frying pan. Yeah. See, the great school

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.559
<v Speaker 1>analogy is perfect too, because, like he said, the Seahawks

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>is supposed to be the adults in the room. Yes, like, Okay, Russell,

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.959
<v Speaker 1>have a temper tantion if you want, but we're gonna

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>do this. I also don't think that the owner of

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.319
<v Speaker 1>the place is like so about the email that we're

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 1>sending to this season ticket holders, what are we including

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in that? Like it doesn't that feel like it's more

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 1>well a lower level decision. Yes, I think she signed it.

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that's one of those where they go, oh,

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 1>we got some documents for you to sign it, and

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>literally signed it, or he signed it. Maybe he signed it. Yes,

0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I disagree. I think I don't think that some twenty

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>eight year old producer and I think the owner of

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the Seahawks sat down and went, hey, I want to

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>single out our new offensive coordinated or a new running

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>backs coach, but make sure we don't put Wilson in there. No,

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>but I think that now I'm going to go back

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to being a billionaire. Okay, I think the owner, it's

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Jody Allen and her team absolutely were informed or at

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>some point signed off on it and specifically knew that

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Russell was not included. I don't think that's an accident

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>at all. But why make it worse? It's even it's

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 1>even Stephen going back to No, no, no, I don't know, No,

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that for a second from Russell Wilson,

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the old you started it. Yeah, it worked for me.

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>That never goes well though. Plus when you do payback,

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 1>payback should be a little worse, It should be more harsh.

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Being the bigger person has never worked out for people.

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>You gotta go back and hit him. I love Russ,

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 1>not anymore. No, Now, Russ has to come back at

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 1>you because of what you just did. See. I'm trying

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>to spice this up so it becomes a bear in

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the next He's gonna make fun of you for having

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 1>one good eye. That's fine. Yeah, I think he's gonna

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>do something. I think next time he's on he's going

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>to have his hand over one of his eyes or

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>have an eye patch on there. He could play the

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>game with one eye tied the back. Yeah, he's like

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Bauer. Yeah, go Hawks. Yes, mclove, I know how

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 1>they could really get to Russ. Guess who became a

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:42.840
<v Speaker 1>free agent yesterday? Cornerback Tennessee Malcolm el Flare with Malcolm

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Butler and free agency? Dear whoa hardcore? That is mean spirited?

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Russ started it, I guess. By the way, here's his

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>stat that you might only hear on this program. You'll

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 1>hear it here and then you'll hear it someplace else.

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>The individual defender in the NFL who gave up the

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 1>most passing yards last year, Malcolm Butler. He gave up

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 1>nine hundred twenty three passing yards. I didn't know they

0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>kept individual stats like that, but I got that stat.

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Our good, good guy Ethan gave that to him. You

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>remember Ethan? You know what he does on this show, right,

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>it's been a while. Yeah, yes, McLean. Does Malcolm Butler

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 1>have a lifetime pass for one play? Like? I feel

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 1>like yeah? But he still caught that ball in the

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl, like that guy could do to Oroga. Say

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 1>what you did? Lifetime pass? Oh the lifetime pass? He

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>intercepted it. Yeah, Like I feel like Macolm. The rest

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 1>of his career has been a bit of an afterthought.

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know how good he is. He Pro

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Bowl level. I think he might have been. He made

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 1>one Pro Bowl his second year in the league. He

0:16:55.600 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>starts sixteen games. He's still a starter. Yeah, um, yes, time.

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that Seattle letters should have included a list

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.480
<v Speaker 1>of four other quarterbacks that the team might like to have.

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 1>If Russell Wilson just happens to understand, that's good. Now,

0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 1>that is good. Let's just leave him out. Just say

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>if this one could play in Watson's or if we

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 1>need a new quarterback, here's four to quarterbacks that we

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>would like to maybe bring in. Well, now it can

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 1>only be three because Dallas resigned. Dak Prescott, you're gonna

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 1>make a statement to go all in. I like it.

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson, Yeah, Derek Carr, that's pretty good. Time. All right,

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Florida will join us. Coming up? What's Lamar Jackson gonna

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:40.399
<v Speaker 1>get paid? Josh Allen Baker Mayfield, We'll talk to him

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 1>about some of the comings and goings free agency. I'll

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 1>pay tribute to Gonzaga. They were down double digits to

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 1>b YU last night and came back as they go

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>into the tournament undefeated. Yes and club. Yeah, we have

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:57.879
<v Speaker 1>a Gonzaga related poll that I'm gonna save. It was

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 1>always one of those Gonzaga or is it Gonzaga? Is

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 1>it the Zags? It's the Zag It's like twenty years ago.

0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Is it Gonzager Gonzaga. Well, they're the Zags, so I'm

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:13.360
<v Speaker 1>assuming it's Gonzaga. But you know, you go to Gonzaga

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to play basketball, it's rare when they have a one

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and done. They have a one and done this year.

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Suggs is a one and donner. I think Zach

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Collins might have been the first one and donner with Gonzaga.

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know, the Zags are the team to beat

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.920
<v Speaker 1>this year, number one overall seed. We'll take a break.

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Florio joins us. Coming up, we'll have a play of

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the day, a couple more stats of the day as well,

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Scott Van Pelt from the mother Ship. A little bit

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:45.399
<v Speaker 1>later on, we'll look at Duke's basketball tournament hopes. Coming up,

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.920
<v Speaker 1>We have a couple of suggestions here for the selection committee.

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.200

<v Speaker 1>Jason McIntyre on the iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts or wherever you

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:17.399
<v Speaker 1>get your podcasts. At the start of the show, we

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.080
<v Speaker 1>were talking about the Giants. Dave Gettlman, their GM is

0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>all in on Daniel Jones, and I said, I don't

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.480
<v Speaker 1>know if it's fix a ball with fumbles, but he

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 1>had eleven fumbles last year. Derek Carr had eleven, Taysom

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Hill had ten, Lamar Jackson ten, Carson Wentz had ten.

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:35.680
<v Speaker 1>But you got to back your quarterback. I just don't

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 1>know if he backs his running back, say Quon Barkley,

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:39.879
<v Speaker 1>because I certainly don't want to go into a second

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.960
<v Speaker 1>contract with a running back. But yeah, we were talking

0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.880
<v Speaker 1>about who's in better shape, the Jets of the Giants,

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and I said, division wise, the Giants would be because

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you can win nine games and win that division. But

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.879
<v Speaker 1>I think the Jets with a new coach and experienced GM.

0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 1>They got some draft picks there, they got some interesting

0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 1>decisions to make. Let's bring in Mike oreal here, Joe

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.159
<v Speaker 1>just on the program. Let me let me start with that.

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Who's in better shape, Mike, Jets or Giants. I liked

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.440
<v Speaker 1>your point about the Giants being in the NFC East.

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:11.159
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to be in very good shape to

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 1>be in good shape in that division. But I'm intrigued

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 1>by what the Jets can do. Dan after hearing our

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 1>guy Chris Simms last week praise Zach Wilson, the BYU quarterback,

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the presumptive number two pick, if the Jets do indeed

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>take him and move on from Sam Darnold. This is

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a franchise that's been looking for a franchise quarterback since

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Joe Namath, for crying out loud. If they get this opportunity,

0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.719
<v Speaker 1>and they seize this opportunity and Wilson becomes what Simms

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 1>sees in him, and I think the Jets are in

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty good shape. Robert Sali, highly respected coach, The team

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 1>being built from the inside out by Joe Douglas. Mike mcagnan.

0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>The former GM was doing too much building from the

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:53.439
<v Speaker 1>outside in for example, signing Levy on Bell when they

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 1>had no offensive line. What are you thinking when you

0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:58.160
<v Speaker 1>do that? So I like what the Jets are doing.

0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 1>We're just so conditioned to think the Jets are going

0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to stink that it's hard to imagine them being any good.

0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>We were also talking about what's going on with Seattle

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.960
<v Speaker 1>with Russell Wilson, where the newsletter comes out to the

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:13.680
<v Speaker 1>season ticket holders and the owner signs off on, Hey,

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.879
<v Speaker 1>let's mention the new offensive coordinator, the running backs coach,

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 1>and Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf and oh, by the way,

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:24.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll just leave out the NFL Man of the Year,

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:29.479
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson. Do you think this is by design? Mike, Yeah, Well,

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 1>this is the recovering lawyer in me talking, and I

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:36.680
<v Speaker 1>practiced for eighteen years before abandoning it. Thank God for this,

0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 1>But any lawyer with any influence over that organization would say,

0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.000
<v Speaker 1>if there's any chance we're not going to have this guy,

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 1>we better not include him in any materials aimed at

0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 1>getting customers to buy season tickets, because the last thing

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:54.960
<v Speaker 1>we need is some smartass filing a class action lawsuit

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.439
<v Speaker 1>seeking a full refund on all tickets. Because you led

0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 1>us to believe that Russell Wilson was going to be

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 1>on the team when you knew or should have known,

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that he wasn't gonna be on the team. It could

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>be that simple, but it tells me that it's serious

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 1>enough that they thought it would be prudent and smart

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:13.239
<v Speaker 1>and wise and potentially something that would save a lot

0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 1>of money to not mention Russell Wilson. So no one

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:18.159
<v Speaker 1>could say you led us to believe he was going

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:20.639
<v Speaker 1>to be here and then you traded it. Okay, So

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 1>this isn't nefarious on their part. This is just being

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.879
<v Speaker 1>smart on Seattle's part. I think being smart is not

0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 1>mentioning Russell Wilson. Being nefarious is mentioning all these other people.

0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:34.440
<v Speaker 1>That's where it becomes, well, who are you're gonna go

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 1>out and see Mike? I mean, you got twist. You

0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 1>gotta twist the knife. You know you got to you

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:42.239
<v Speaker 1>gotta market Shane Walter in the new offensive coordinator if

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you want to sell tickets. Guys, what are you thinking?

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 1>But I think this is a manifestation of that frustration

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 1>they've got to be feeling because he'd been twisting the

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 1>knife on them. This is their chance to give it

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 1>a little twist back, Jerry Jones is getting credit for Hey,

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I know what the salary cap is going to be,

0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:00.479
<v Speaker 1>so therefore I can spend this money on Dak Scott.

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 1>And it made me wonder Jerry knew about this? Do

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 1>other owners know about this? Why is it that Jerry's

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the only one who gets credit for Hey, I know

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 1>what it's going to be. I can spend this money.

0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I haven't heard one other owner get credit for a

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 1>signing because he knows what the salary cap is going

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to be. Is this insider trading? Mike, I'm glad you

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 1>mentioned this. This is the stupidest take that I've heard

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 1>in the aftermath of the Dak Prescott's signing, that Jerry

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Jones somehow has inside information that no one else possesses

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that there's going to be an influx of cash from

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 1>new TV contracts. We all know that's going to happen.

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 1>They've been talking for weeks that these deals are impending.

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Some expect them to be announced this week. This isn't

0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a secret. Yeah, no, crap. Almost said the other word.

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 1>There's going to be more money available in future years,

0:24:47.359 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna push these cap dollars into future years,

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 1>and the CAP's going to keep going up. That's a

0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 1>no brainer that everybody knows. That's what's happening between the

0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 1>TV deals and gambling. The cap is going to keep

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 1>going up and up and up. This year is a

0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>temporary dip, and next year it's going to start going up.

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.160
<v Speaker 1>And by the time this Dak Prescott deal expires, it's

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:07.560
<v Speaker 1>going to be a lot higher than it is now.

0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>And he's going to be in great position after four

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:11.640
<v Speaker 1>years to get paid again and to get paid even

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:14.400
<v Speaker 1>more than he's getting paid now. Who has a better contract,

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott or Patrick Mahomes. Without question, it's Dak Prescott.

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Look Dan last year when the Patrick Mahomes deal came out.

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Twelve years of a commitment, and it's not a two

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 1>way commitment. It's a one way commitment. The team can

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 1>rip it up whenever they want and move on. And

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a point where it would make sense for the

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:32.480
<v Speaker 1>team to do it if for whatever reason, he's no

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 1>longer a special talent. We believe that he will be,

0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and he believes that he will be. But I remember

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that the Mahomes deal came out before the window closed

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 1>on the Dak Prescott negotiations last July fifteen on a

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.120
<v Speaker 1>long term deal, and he went with the franchise tag instead.

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.080
<v Speaker 1>And I asked someone in the know, if you take

0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:55.320
<v Speaker 1>this contract and you scratch out Patrick Mahomes and you

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:57.639
<v Speaker 1>put in Dak Prescott, would Dak take it. And the

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:01.520
<v Speaker 1>answer was unequivocally no, you don't do that deal. That

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes deal is an outlier. It's an albatross, and it

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:08.360
<v Speaker 1>was done with one goal in mind, so his agents

0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 1>could say, we negotiated the first half billion dollar contract

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 1>in league history. It's a bad deal. I mean, think

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:17.440
<v Speaker 1>about this, Over the first four years of Dax deal,

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna make more than fifty million more than Mahomes

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 1>over the first four years of his deal. And when

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Dax deal's done after the twenty twenty fourth season, Mahomes

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 1>is still signed for seven more years. He's counting on

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Clark Hunt, the owner of the team, being willing to

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 1>tear up that contract at the appropriate time. That's fine.

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Some owners will do it. Other owners won't. Jerry Jones wouldn't.

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 1>So that's the leap of faith Mahomes took. So without question,

0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Dax deal is better sixty six million dollars signing bonus record,

0:26:48.880 --> 0:26:51.760
<v Speaker 1>seventy five million paid out this year, record ninety five

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:54.920
<v Speaker 1>million fully guaranteed record and only a four year deal.

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:57.760
<v Speaker 1>If you're Dak Prescott, do you ask Jerry if he

0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:00.520
<v Speaker 1>can give one of those golf checks? Are they handed

0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 1>out and said that huge check like for just it

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 1>says seventy five million dollars and he hands it to Dak.

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I would love that photo up because you know Jerry's

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:11.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, although we haven't heard from Jerry, I thought

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:13.879
<v Speaker 1>he would take a victory lamp here Mike. Why not?

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Well this because look, dam they screwed this up. And

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:23.400
<v Speaker 1>this is the flip side of the Jared Goff cautionary tale.

0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Because after Goff had three seasons in and people were saying, well,

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 1>he's going to get a new contract, there were plenty

0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:30.680
<v Speaker 1>of people in the league and in the media is saying,

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.119
<v Speaker 1>why are the Rams going to give this guy a

0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 1>market value contract? At some point one of these teams

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:39.040
<v Speaker 1>has to say we're not going to do this. We're

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 1>not just going to make you the next highest paid

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:44.000
<v Speaker 1>player in league history just because your contract is due

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 1>to be renegotiated and you've you've been on the right

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:50.439
<v Speaker 1>side of pass fail. The Rams did it, and now

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they regret it, and they're unloading Jared Goff plus something.

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're giving something up in net trade assets

0:27:57.400 --> 0:27:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to get get rid of his contract. The other side

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.440
<v Speaker 1>it is, when you know you have your guy, you

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:05.399
<v Speaker 1>gotta move quickly to get him signed. And the longer

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:07.840
<v Speaker 1>you wait, the more expensive it gets. And the Cowboys

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:10.440
<v Speaker 1>waited and waited and delayed and delayed, and they kept

0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 1>thinking that Dak Prescott was going to wake up one

0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:15.280
<v Speaker 1>day and see it their way, take less money, except

0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:17.439
<v Speaker 1>the fact that being the Cowboys quarterback leads to all

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 1>sorts of other earning opportunities and just say, okay, we'll

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 1>accept whatever you want to pay us. And he never did,

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and he finally had them in a spot where they

0:28:25.920 --> 0:28:28.119
<v Speaker 1>had no choice but to give him this contract. So

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:30.280
<v Speaker 1>it's nothing to be proud of. It's their own fault.

0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:32.320
<v Speaker 1>If they'd have done this in twenty nineteen, they would

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>have done it for a hell of a lot less

0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:36.640
<v Speaker 1>than what they're paying now. He's Mike Florio Pro Football

<v Speaker 1>Talk Live co host and you can go to his

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:42.040
<v Speaker 1>website pro football talk dot Com. All right, what's this

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:46.840
<v Speaker 1>mean for the next group of quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen,

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Baker Mayfield, Who gets paid, who doesn't? Well? And this

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.600
<v Speaker 1>is what's fascinating about the Dak deal because the quarterback

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>market was irrelevant to his leverage and his contract. His

0:28:56.840 --> 0:28:59.840
<v Speaker 1>leverage was driven by the second tag and the likely

0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 1>hood that next year the Cowboys wouldn't have been able

0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to tag him again and he would have become a

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>free agent. That's what determined his number. But now that

0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 1>he's getting four years, one sixty, it becomes relevant to

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 1>these other quarterbacks. But you know, here's where the challenge

0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 1>is for the Bills with Alan, the Ravens with Jackson,

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and the Browns with Mayfield. First, you got to be

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>sure it's the guy. Is this the guy? And I

0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:22.960
<v Speaker 1>think Ravens, Bills, Yes, Browns. I'd be tempted to give

0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 1>it another year, all due respect to Baker Mayfield. But

0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 1>once you know it's the guy, you got to move

0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and you got to get it done, and you got

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to put a number on the table that he'll take,

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 1>because if he waits, it's only going to get more

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 1>expensive to keep him. Lamar Jackson is four years away

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 1>from having the Ravens in the position that Prescott had

0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys. So now there's an opportunity for the Ravens

0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to get something done that Lamar Jackson won't say no to.

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 1>And this is where it's important to have a good agent.

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 1>You need to have a good agent who is going

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 1>to fight with you or fight for you, not with you,

0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 1>fight for you against the team, but potentially fight with

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you when you want to take that offer and the

0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>agents saying no, it's not right yet, let's not do it,

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 1>let's not give in. And Lamar Jackson doesn't have an agent.

0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:09.760
<v Speaker 1>And my concern is the Ravens is going to make

0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 1>him an offer that blows him away, that isn't nearly

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:14.360
<v Speaker 1>as good as it could be, but without an agent

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 1>to slow him down, he's going to jump on it.

0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 1>And that would be a huge win for the Ravens

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:22.120
<v Speaker 1>if that happens. There's talk about Tom Brady restructuring his deal.

0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:27.280
<v Speaker 1>What if Brady said, pay me a million dollars. Oh,

0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 1>he could do that. He could do that. But if

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:31.200
<v Speaker 1>you say, if he says, look, I'm going to take

0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>a million, because what is left for Brady another super Bowl?

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 1>That's it? He doesn't care about the all time passing numbers,

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and he cares about how many Super Bowls I put up,

0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 1>and he's going to get endorsements. But if he said that,

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 1>now you can bring back Shack Barrett. Now you know

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 1>you franchised Godwin, like you can keep the band together

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 1>here because Tom wants to make one more run here

0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 1>at least, why not do something like that. That's exact

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 1>actually what Drew Brees has done. We just assumed he

0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 1>was doing it as a cap favor to the Saints

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and that he wasn't playing, still hasn't retired. If Breese

0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:10.720
<v Speaker 1>would somehow play, He's gone from twenty five to one

0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 1>point seven five. That's the minimum for anyone with seven

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 1>or more years of service. That's the least that you

0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:18.280
<v Speaker 1>can pay someone. Tom Brady could do that if he

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>wants to. He could say, I know, I'm supposed to

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 1>make twenty five million this year. I'm just going to

0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 1>take one point seven five million. You can have the rest,

0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 1>keep the team around me. It's more important to me

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:30.720
<v Speaker 1>than this point to get to number eight, not to

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 1>make twenty five million dollars. And yeah, he could do

0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that if he wanted to, and that would be something

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:38.160
<v Speaker 1>if he would do that, and that would put them

0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 1>in a great position to keep all the guys that

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.200
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to do. But just imagine what that would

0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:44.760
<v Speaker 1>sound like if Brady said, look, I want to keep

0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the guys together. What that would mean for that team

0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:50.000
<v Speaker 1>in that locker room. Not that they aren't, you know,

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:54.040
<v Speaker 1>following him as the pipe piper, but I mean, that's

0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty that'd be pretty revolutionary. Well, it's and it's kind

0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 1>of what he did in New England. There's two school

0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 1>the thought on why he took less in New England.

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Some would say he was being selfless. He wanted to

0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>have enough players around him. You want to have depth

0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 1>when your starters get injured. You don't want to slap

0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 1>some undrafted guy who's never proven himself into the starting

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 1>lineup because of injury necessity. You know. Part of it too,

0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:21.480
<v Speaker 1>was he was always in fear of Bill Belichick waking

0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 1>up one day and saying, we're paying this guy too

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 1>much money. We can't afford this. We can do we

0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>can do better dollar for dollar with someone else. So

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:31.840
<v Speaker 1>there was always that healthy dose of what if I

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:34.520
<v Speaker 1>get cut because I'm making too much money and That's

0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:36.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons why I know for a fact

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:39.160
<v Speaker 1>he kept his money in check. But this would be

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the ultimate I'm giving back my earning potential. I mean,

0:32:43.160 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 1>think of what this guy's worth to the team. And

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.080
<v Speaker 1>this is where I struggle with it, because I'm a

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 1>firm believer guys should get every penny they can get

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:52.400
<v Speaker 1>while they can get it. They're gonna fill that stadium

0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:56.680
<v Speaker 1>this year, pandemic permitting, because of Tom Brady. You're only

0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 1>taking a million if you would want to take a

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:00.800
<v Speaker 1>million dollars when you're the reason the place I haven't

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:02.440
<v Speaker 1>been able to sell out in a generation is going

0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to be sold out. So it's a tough balance, and

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to sell a guy's earning capacity short.

0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:11.560
<v Speaker 1>But if he really is sufficiently driven to get to

0:33:11.680 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>number eight, and maybe to number nine, and maybe to

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 1>number ten, then one way to do it is to say,

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to take the bare minimum. You brought up,

0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Drew Brees, what's going on here. He's supposed to be

0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:24.560
<v Speaker 1>on this Sunday night. Football Night in America is set

0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 1>with you coming up next season. Mike. I've told you

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 1>time and again. They only wake me up for the

0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:34.200
<v Speaker 1>unimportant meetings. I don't know what's going on with Drew Brees.

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 1>And Sean Payton told us five weeks ago super Bowl

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:41.120
<v Speaker 1>week that he expects an announcement from Drew Brees and

0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the next week to a week and a half, and

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:45.040
<v Speaker 1>here we are and nothing from Drew. We had. There

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.239
<v Speaker 1>was that video of him pushing a sled. I mean,

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that's that's not just a guy who's trying to stay

0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:52.160
<v Speaker 1>in shape. That's a guy who's getting ready to play football.

0:33:52.240 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>So I don't understand it. There's no urgency for him

0:33:55.040 --> 0:33:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to do it. Maybe he's just enjoying the moment. I

0:33:57.040 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 1>don't get it. But he's already reduced his salary from

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty five to one point seven five. And if he

0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:05.200
<v Speaker 1>would show up and say I'm back, what can the

0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Saints do? What are they're gonna say, no, we're gonna

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:10.799
<v Speaker 1>cut you. So it's it's fascinating, and I'm sure there

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:13.680
<v Speaker 1>are some people within the Saints organization they're a little

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:15.799
<v Speaker 1>bit nervous about how this is all going to play out.

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:17.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, what I thought was the tip off that

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:20.480
<v Speaker 1>he's retiring when I saw that video of him pushing

0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the sled. The the change the Jason Witten type change

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 1>up up north. Yes, yes, yes, there was a little

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:33.320
<v Speaker 1>more moss on top of his head there, and that

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:36.720
<v Speaker 1>that struck me as the I'm going into TV hairdo.

0:34:37.640 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 1>But let me just let me just make a general observation.

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 1>And this is nothing against Drew or Brian or Lacker,

0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:48.719
<v Speaker 1>but once it's gone, it's a little more conspicuous when

0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:51.880
<v Speaker 1>it comes back, Like you need to intervene in the

0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:57.239
<v Speaker 1>process at some point before it's obvious, Like you're Kevin

0:34:57.360 --> 0:34:59.400
<v Speaker 1>from the office and you show up that Jim and

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:04.239
<v Speaker 1>Pam's we with hair, it's kind of obvious at that point. Dan, Yeah,

0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know. That to me was the chip

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:09.040
<v Speaker 1>off Mike when people say what's he gonna do? I said, well,

0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 1>he's retiring. How do you know that because he's got

0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:17.359
<v Speaker 1>new hair. Well, look, you may be onto something officially though,

0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and I don't have a second source right now, but

0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm working on that. Mike. Well, I will say, I mean,

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:25.359
<v Speaker 1>obviously I wasn't even sure it was him in the video.

0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Obviously there has been something that's gone on up top.

0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:33.279
<v Speaker 1>It's not just diet and exercise that causes it to

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:37.720
<v Speaker 1>reverse itself. But whether that's the motivation. I have no information,

0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have to worry about that. I don't

0:35:40.760 --> 0:35:42.480
<v Speaker 1>look at that head of hair. Are you got that's

0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 1>most of it's mine? Yeah? Yeah, but you haven't you

0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:51.480
<v Speaker 1>haven't colored it right, you know what full transparency? Dan Well,

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.640
<v Speaker 1>we had this conversation years ago. He was starting to

0:35:54.680 --> 0:35:57.160
<v Speaker 1>go gray, and I thought, hey, now's the time to

0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 1>do it. You intervene, you freeze it in place where

0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 1>it is. And I did that for about a year

0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:02.880
<v Speaker 1>or two. And then you see a picture of yourself

0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:06.840
<v Speaker 1>with really dark hair and it looks pathetic because you're aging,

0:36:07.560 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 1>but your hair is really dark, and it's like, I

0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:10.799
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be that guy. And I'm not going

0:36:10.840 --> 0:36:13.839
<v Speaker 1>to name names. It's seventy that has a full head

0:36:13.880 --> 0:36:18.240
<v Speaker 1>of jet black hair, but is otherwise seventy. So I stopped.

0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:20.040
<v Speaker 1>And for the most part, you know, it depends on

0:36:20.160 --> 0:36:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the lighting. For the most part, it looks not as

0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:25.000
<v Speaker 1>gray as it really is. But yeah, that was the

0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Remember the Bob Barker thing, like he took a week

0:36:28.239 --> 0:36:30.399
<v Speaker 1>off on Price's right, and he showed up with full

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:32.879
<v Speaker 1>head of white hair and everybody went nuts. It's like, yeah,

0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:35.160
<v Speaker 1>it was ridiculous before that because nobody believed he had

0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a full head of brown hair. You just got to

0:36:36.840 --> 0:36:38.719
<v Speaker 1>embrace it, You got to accept it. Just be glad

0:36:38.760 --> 0:36:41.520
<v Speaker 1>you're alive, and be glad that it's there. I don't

0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:44.000
<v Speaker 1>care what that's my official position. I don't care what

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Keller it is, as long as it's there. Thank you, Mike,

0:36:47.680 --> 0:36:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Thank you Dan. That's Mike Florian for a football. I

0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:54.920
<v Speaker 1>imagine somebody's tuning in, They're gonna wait, what are they

0:36:54.960 --> 0:36:58.279
<v Speaker 1>talking about? Yeah? That was my tip off with Drew

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Brees because everybody was like, red, didn't you see him

0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:04.439
<v Speaker 1>working out? And I go, he's retiring? Why, I said,

0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:09.680
<v Speaker 1>look at his hair, he's got TV here, go on, Dart,

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:12.600
<v Speaker 1>let it fill in? Yes, what am I supposed to

0:37:12.640 --> 0:37:15.040
<v Speaker 1>do with that? Don't worry about what color it is,

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:16.759
<v Speaker 1>as long as it's there. That they which I could

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:19.080
<v Speaker 1>rally behind that to the little field. I offered to

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.680
<v Speaker 1>buy you hair years ago. We had someone come in

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:24.439
<v Speaker 1>and once I kind of painted my head black. We've

0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:26.840
<v Speaker 1>tried differently. You look great the way you are. Thank you.

0:37:27.000 --> 0:37:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes with my hat on, Yes, with your hat on.

0:37:31.640 --> 0:37:35.479
<v Speaker 1>I just googled Kevin in the office with hair I've

0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:38.879
<v Speaker 1>ever seen. I didn't see that one. We'll take a break.

<v Speaker 1>of Bryant versus Mount Saint Mary's last night. The Mount

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I did. Yeah, they're known as the Mount, but Bryant's

0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:19.239
<v Speaker 1>college coming out of nowhere being a formidable team, exciting team,

0:39:23.920 --> 0:39:28.359
<v Speaker 1>and Gonzaga with your automatic bids. There got a pull

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:32.960
<v Speaker 1>question and Polly says it's a piping pot, piping hot

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:37.240
<v Speaker 1>poll question. Yes, point, Okay, we just had Floria. Florio

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 1>has some great hair. Dan, You've had great hair your

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 1>whole life, so you don't really understand the people who

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:45.560
<v Speaker 1>are follically challenged. Okay, this is a serious question, not

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 1>just for sports radio, and an actual question where if

0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:49.200
<v Speaker 1>you make a decision, I'm gonna take you back to

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:53.400
<v Speaker 1>age twenty. Ready, Yeah, you're offered these two things at

0:39:53.440 --> 0:39:55.480
<v Speaker 1>age twenty. You can either lose all your hair at

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:58.279
<v Speaker 1>age twenty and your single man, yeah, or lose a

0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:01.680
<v Speaker 1>finger on your non dominant hand, your pinky finger. And

0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:03.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a serious question because I brought it up to

0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the room and some one of these rooms that absolutely

0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 1>lose my pinky finger says, you get over it pretty quick.

0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:11.799
<v Speaker 1>You can hide it hair, you lose it, it's it's gone.

0:40:12.760 --> 0:40:15.200
<v Speaker 1>And I'm talking to age twenty, not fifty. Do I

0:40:15.520 --> 0:40:18.840
<v Speaker 1>do I lose the entire pinky finger? Yes? Oh, not

0:40:18.960 --> 0:40:20.800
<v Speaker 1>a Ronnie Lot. We're just a little bit of it. No,

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:24.719
<v Speaker 1>it's not painful, it's and not controlled. It's not like

0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:28.719
<v Speaker 1>a fireworks action my non shooting hand. Yes, of course.

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:32.640
<v Speaker 1>And a serious question like seton What was your answer? Oh, definitely,

0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you could take my pinky Mick Lovin yikes, I kind

0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 1>of I'll probably lose my hair. Go like Jason safe

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:42.759
<v Speaker 1>in bald Well, You're not gonna look like Jason State.

0:40:42.880 --> 0:40:46.520
<v Speaker 1>How about the dad and family ties bald Oh that's

0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:50.120
<v Speaker 1>your Drew Brees said, remember that guy. Yeah, I lose it.

0:40:50.160 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 1>The pinky finger sounds pretty bad to me. But there's

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:56.359
<v Speaker 1>there's not gonna be any pain involved. We're gonna make

0:40:56.360 --> 0:40:58.920
<v Speaker 1>sure there's no pain. Don't you need Is it there

0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a functional purpose? I don't know. That does seem just

0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:04.560
<v Speaker 1>seems pretty radical to me, Todd, maybe because I've been

0:41:04.640 --> 0:41:06.200
<v Speaker 1>used to it. I'll throw the hat on and save

0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>my digits and have ten fingers. I've been without an

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:14.520
<v Speaker 1>eye for my entire life, and I would rather be

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:17.320
<v Speaker 1>without an eye than without hair, probably, so I'll go

0:41:17.400 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 1>with the finger. I go like nine other fingers. What

0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:24.120
<v Speaker 1>am I doing with the left hand? Yeah? It at

0:41:24.200 --> 0:41:27.399
<v Speaker 1>age twenty, Dan, you can imagine trying to get into

0:41:27.400 --> 0:41:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the field you got into with a bald head at

0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:33.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty probably wouldn't have helped things. I mean, obviously your

0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:37.160
<v Speaker 1>talent and abilities, but having good hair for TV and

0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:38.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what else you gotta do the rest of

0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:40.920
<v Speaker 1>your life. When you go bald at twenty, you spend

0:41:41.560 --> 0:41:43.279
<v Speaker 1>every time it comes up being like, well, you know, yeah,

0:41:43.280 --> 0:41:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I started in my twenties, so it's you know, it's

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:48.399
<v Speaker 1>like it's always a storyline and that like oh well yeah,

0:41:48.440 --> 0:41:50.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, or people like but oh well, you know,

0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's god, do you believe it? At twenty,

0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:55.479
<v Speaker 1>it's already losing all his hair. If you lose the finger,

0:41:55.600 --> 0:41:58.440
<v Speaker 1>you just move to like a Minnesota and wear Minton's

0:41:58.480 --> 0:42:00.919
<v Speaker 1>all the time. You know, moved to Canada. You're all set.

0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:04.880
<v Speaker 1>You went where Bernie Sanders gloves. Yeah, and now you

0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:06.399
<v Speaker 1>know what happens to then the rest of your life.

0:42:06.400 --> 0:42:07.960
<v Speaker 1>People will be like, whoa, how did you lose your pinky?

0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Be like kept my hair. Yeah, I was given the choice.

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:13.399
<v Speaker 1>I could either keep this head of hair or lose

0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:14.839
<v Speaker 1>my picket. They're like, well, hey, you got a great

0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:16.840
<v Speaker 1>head of hair. Yeah, no thanks, it only cost me

0:42:16.920 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 1>this pinky. Todd If you could add another finger or

0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:23.000
<v Speaker 1>add hair right now, what would you do, like having

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:27.640
<v Speaker 1>eleventh finger? Yeah, I'm reversing it. Yeah, in that case,

0:42:27.719 --> 0:42:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't need that. I'm freakishly the other way, like,

0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>instead of having nine figures, I'm having a leven. I

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:33.440
<v Speaker 1>would take it a hair. Well, then the fingers aren't

0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:36.680
<v Speaker 1>that important to you. I don't know if that's exactly

0:42:36.960 --> 0:42:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the same, exactly the same, offer you a bonus finger.

0:42:39.040 --> 0:42:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I think of all the things you be. I do

0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:42.879
<v Speaker 1>miss having my hair. Believe me, it's something weird about

0:42:42.880 --> 0:42:45.400
<v Speaker 1>wearing like a suit and a cap that just doesn't go.

0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I remember that conversation with Mike Florio because I always

0:42:50.080 --> 0:42:52.680
<v Speaker 1>tell guys, if you're gonna do it, do it sooner,

0:42:53.440 --> 0:42:57.200
<v Speaker 1>not later. You want it to be gradual, not you

0:42:57.320 --> 0:43:01.080
<v Speaker 1>show up one day and your hair is really dark Fritzie,

0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I will buy you hair. You've been very generous about

0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:06.680
<v Speaker 1>that time. Do you want hair? I think I'll be okay.

0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:10.680
<v Speaker 1>The way, you just gotta embrace your situation. It's about content.

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:14.040
<v Speaker 1>We did the spray paint. They did not go over

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:17.680
<v Speaker 1>well for anybody. Close out first hour with Callaway. The
