1
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: What is going on everybody, John Middlecop three and Out podcast.

2
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: I hope everyone's doing well. Stand safe and uh and

3
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: following the rules. You know. I tried not to look

4
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: too far down the road, more of a day by

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: day even maybe week by week guy, and just keep

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: my head up, falling the rules, stand quarantined and being positive,

7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: because you know, the one thing that in my thirty

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: five years of life, when people, when we when we

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: all get on the same page in this country and

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: do what we're supposed to do, we usually get through

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: weird things, bad things. And this is just this is

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: a kind of crazy. I mean, there's no really any

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: way around it. But you gotta put on a positive face.

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm still able to do this. Hope everyone,

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, small business owners out there and everyone. Just

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm here for you. You You know, you can always shoot

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: my d m s at John middlecoff is my is

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: my Instagram handle. I mean, obviously it's for football, but

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: you can shoot me about anything. I'm I'm here, I'm quarantined.

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: I got times on my side, just me and Mike

21
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: little Water my computer. There's nothing to watch, so just talk,

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, It's what I do I talk, and I'm glad,

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm able to keep doing that. But I'm thinking

24
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: about everyone you know that listens to the show, and

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: your families and my families, and just just stay positive.

26
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what I'm doing, and I hope

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: everyone else is doing that too. And luckily, despite a bizarre,

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: crazy week, you know, we got NFL stuff and a

29
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: lot has happened. We'll dive into Brady. Uh my last

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: podcast on Tuesday, I assumed he was gonna stay. He

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: clearly is not staying a little bizarre, at least of

32
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: recording this he still hasn't signed his contract. Uh. And

33
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: then the the NFC East. There there was a couple

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: of major moments this week for the Cowboys and the Eagles,

35
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Amori and Darius Slay. We'll dive into both those moves.

36
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: The Rams they're absolutely in shambles, just just poorly run

37
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to in terms of financially managing the cap.

38
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: And then we'll just fire through some stories just because

39
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: a lot has happened since I last recorded and uh,

40
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: and then I'll answer some of your middlecoff mailbag questions.

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: But I'll start with Brady and Belichick. I say it

42
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: all the time. Football is just a television show, and

43
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: it's the number one television show in America. It's the

44
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: it's the one television show. When it's on. Tens of

45
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: millions of people will watch Thursday night, Sunday night, Monday night,

46
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: big games on Sunday afternoon, big morning national games get

47
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: ten plus million people. I mean the Good Night games

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: can get up to twenty a you know, like a

49
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: CNN show doesn't even get a in prime time, doesn't

50
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: even get a million people. A forty nine or game

51
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area has over a million people watching

52
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: it just in the Bay Area alone. Football moves the

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: needle in two thousand twenty, unlike any other show, you know,

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: back in the day. Google some of the shows like

55
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: Mash and Cheers, back when we only had was it

56
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: three or four channels, They they're like big seasons, Like

57
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: the final seasons we're doing like forty to seventy million

58
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: people given on specific show and specific episode, an episode

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: sixty million people all at once watching one season finale

60
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: a Mash or season finale, it Cheers. But one thing

61
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: every elite television show has is a great main character,

62
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: like Cheers, Ted Danson. If you're watching Curb, he's still

63
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: going strong. But I actually stumbled upon that show on

64
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: Netflix like a year ago because I remember growing up

65
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: it was it was. It was right at the tail

66
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: end of when, uh, I guess at the beginning of

67
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: when I kind of have some memories in my youth.

68
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: I remember my dad really liked that show. It was

69
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: one of the biggest one of the shows in American history.

70
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: And then let into shows of my youth like Fresh

71
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Prince of bel Air, Love that show, Love Will Smith

72
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: two shows now, I'm sure you mad Men, Breaking Bad,

73
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: you name the Wire. Uh, Tony the Sopranos Soprano is

74
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: probably one of my favorite shows. Tony Soprano is one

75
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: of the well great main characters in in the history

76
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: of television. Well, Brady and Belichick. While they're two separate people,

77
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: they really go hand in hand and their twenty year

78
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: run was unlike anything we've ever seen. And now they've

79
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: always to me kind of been the main character. It

80
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: wasn't Belichick, it wasn't Brady. It was Belichick and Brady,

81
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: or Brady and Belichick. They were together, they were the

82
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: main characters. It was those two guys, and they moved

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: the needle. The Dallas Cowboys get the highest television ratings

84
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: in America, and they consistently have. It's why Fox loves

85
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: putting them on, because you put them on a lot

86
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: of people watch. Well. The one team over the last

87
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: i'd say six seven years I've been following ratings pretty closely.

88
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: They can match them, or at least stay right there

89
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: with him in the fast lane is the Patriots. And

90
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: it's not because like, oh, the Patriots there, they've been

91
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: going strong for fifty years. They were really shitty before

92
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: Belichick got there, really bad, had never won championship, hadn't

93
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: really been that relevant, hadn't won that many games, had

94
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: a little stretch with parcels before the most part weren

95
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: a well run franchise, and Robert Craft hired Bill Belichick.

96
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: A year later, they draft Tom Brady and the rest history.

97
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: They went on for twenty years. But it was more

98
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: than just winning or even losing in some big games.

99
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: It was factoring in just Belichick's kind of an asshole,

100
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: Brady's you know, kicking everyone's ass. And then you factor

101
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: in a couple of scandals, Spygate, the flake gate. When

102
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: you said the Patriots whether you're sitting there with your mom,

103
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: whether you're sitting there with uh, a dude that knows

104
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: nothing about sports, or whether you're sitting there with your

105
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: best friend that you watch all the games with. Every

106
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: single person you came across had an opinion, good or bad.

107
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: And in the entertainment business, you never want to be

108
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: in the middle. You never want to be in the

109
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: friend zone. You want to be loved or you want

110
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: to be hated. Because the older you get, you realized, well,

111
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: if she hates me, I'm not done. If I'm in

112
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: the friend zone, it's over. It's like you bring up

113
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: the Bengals. You think the Bengals anyone has an opinion. No,

114
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: you bring up the Pats. People got an opinion. It's

115
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: kind of like Lebron or Michael Jordan's or the Warriors

116
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: the last several years, or the Houston Astros right now.

117
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: They evoke emotion. Part of it is because they were elite.

118
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: That's a huge part of it. And they dominated the

119
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: sport a league of parody for twenty years. Six championships,

120
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: nine super Bowls. They went to eight straight a f

121
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: C championships. They beat everybody. They ruin the Houston Texans.

122
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: They ruined the Colts, they've owned the Pittsburgh Steelers for

123
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: the last decade, the Chiefs, who had their best team

124
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: and forever. Two years ago, they held them out of

125
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They've they've ruined the three teams in

126
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: their division. They've they ruined Seattle's chance for a second

127
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And those guys be coming absolute legends with

128
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: multiple rings. They they have just they've played a huge part,

129
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: a massive part in football history. What what Belichick and

130
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: Brady have done, the twenty year run they have, We'll

131
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: never see that again in football history. It's never happening.

132
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: It's it's impossible. It would take probably like a coach

133
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: of Kyle Shanahan Sean McVeigh to get his Tom Brady

134
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: in the near future and them be together for the

135
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: next twenty years. And that feels unlikely. I mean, how

136
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy's already twenty six or seven, how he might he

137
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: might even be twenty eight Jared goff Ain't. Neither of

138
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: those guys are Tom Brady. So it's not an option

139
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: with either one of those guys. And the reality is

140
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: is that it's over. They're splitting up, and that makes

141
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: me sad. You know. Now, the good thing is they're

142
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: not leaving the league either one of them. Right, Tom's

143
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna be in Tampa and Belichick is gonna stay. And

144
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: Tom's on a really good team with a proven head coach,

145
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,559
Speaker 1: approven defensive coordinator, a bunch of weapons. And if Tom

146
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: at forty three can somehow circumvent Father time, which he's

147
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: done pretty damn well up to this point. But we're

148
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: getting to the point of, like the law of diminishing returns,

149
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: how long can this go? But if he can just

150
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: have one or two, okay years, it will be pretty

151
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: If you can just make the playoffs with a team

152
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: that hasn't made the playoffs in twelve years, it would

153
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: be a pretty big moment for his resume and Belichick,

154
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: while sixty eight young Soul could probably coach another six

155
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: seven years. If he can make the playoffs with a

156
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham or and Andy Dalton or whoever, I think

157
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: he'd earned a lot of credit. But the reality is

158
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: more than likely neither will be as good without the other,

159
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: because the power in those two was the combo. They

160
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: went hand and hand. It's the greatest combination, I'd say

161
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: in the history of sports. Like Shack and Kobe had

162
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: a lot of success separate from each other. They were

163
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: unstoppable together, and it kind of pains me that these

164
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: two guys had to break up. And ultimately, my theory

165
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: on this is and I know I said on Tuesday,

166
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: I thought Tom was gonna say I did, but I

167
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: think Belichick didn't. And I've read a bunch of things

168
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: on both sides. My gutness, Belichick didn't want him back, period,

169
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: point blank, end of story. I just didn't want him

170
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: and offered him a number, And I mean to be

171
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: a number me or you or anyone listening would die

172
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: to get. Maybe like, hey, Tom, we'll give you twenty

173
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: million dollars And Tom's like, what about year two? Because

174
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: they're offering me two years sixty million. Yeah, We're just

175
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: just we're gonna go year by year. He just gave

176
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: a number that he knew we'd say no do, and

177
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: Brady said screw you know. However it went down, I

178
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: know all the the press releases were positive, but I

179
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,239
Speaker 1: don't think this was a positive breakup because even Tom,

180
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, and maybe sometimes you know in life, in relationships,

181
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: professionally or personally, it's just time to go your separate ways,

182
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: regardless how great the times were, a lot of people

183
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: that have been have gotten divorced over the years that

184
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: have been deeply, deeply in love right and had just

185
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: incredible moments together. A lot of business partners have broken

186
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: up that have made millions of dollars together. Bands break

187
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: up all the time to put out hit records in

188
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: the history of time. Think of all the bands, how

189
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: many bands stay together. So it's this. You could argue

190
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: it's inevitable. It really is. But to me, what makes

191
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: it sad is that we're just never seeing it again.

192
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: And I think sometimes when you see it, just it end.

193
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: You know, you tell yourself, yeah, we're never seeing that. No,

194
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: we're never seeing that again. Like when Michael Jordan retired

195
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: twenty years ago or whatever, when he was over for

196
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: the Bulls, Like, we're not seeing Michael again. Colby got close,

197
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: but he wasn't Michael. It just he wasn't. When when

198
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods can't play golf anymore, Like we ain't seeing Tiger. Yeah,

199
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: Rory's good, you know, Kepca can play. Some of these

200
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: young cats coming up are gonna win some majors. It's

201
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: just we're not seeing Brady and Belichick and coach Read

202
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: and Homes are ass kickers. Do you think that they're

203
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: gonna win? They gotta win five more championships to match

204
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: those guys. But think how long it took those two

205
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: to win the six They won three and oh one,

206
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: oh four and oh five. I guess oh three and

207
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: o four whatever, you know, a long time ago. They

208
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: didn't start winning the others until like the last six

209
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: or seven years. There was a huge gap in between

210
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: the championships. They lost a couple. It just it really

211
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,359
Speaker 1: is remarkable the power that that brand of a franchise

212
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: that was irrelevant for basically thirty years, beside a couple

213
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: of years of parcels, to come storming back and become

214
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: a staple brand in the most popular sport in America.

215
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: And it's not over because, like I said, Belichick's team,

216
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna pick the Patriots to make the playoffs.

217
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the Bucks to make the playoffs. Knock

218
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna win. The football season happens, but it's it's not

219
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: gonna be the same. He's gonna look weird in the

220
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: red Belichick will look normal and miserable, but Geared stid

221
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: Hum running out there to take art running r P

222
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: O for Josh McDaniels. It's and throw a quick out

223
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: route to Julian Edelman. It's gonna make me sad. Man.

224
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: I just sometimes you need a villain, And I don't

225
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: mean a villain like Tom Brady. He's probably a great guy. Belichick.

226
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: Most people that know him really like them. You know,

227
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: it's not like they were a villain because they've been

228
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: arrested or they just basically been kicking everyone's ass, kind

229
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: of like everyone hated the Warriors for five years. They

230
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: kick the crap out everyone. They didn't win the championship

231
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: every year, but the NBA you could feel it this year,

232
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: ratings in the tank, people missed them. Your sport needs

233
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: someone for everyone to have an opinion on the Astros.

234
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like Major League Baseball season's gonna happen.

235
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be cool this year about the

236
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball season. Even if you weren't a big

237
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: baseball fan, you you we're gonna have a take on

238
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: the Astros when they were getting in brawls and people

239
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: are throwing at him, whether they're winning, whether they're not

240
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: hitting who's that team this year in two thousand twenty.

241
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: You know that that really evokes emotion that like everyone's like, damn,

242
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: it's it was always Brady and Belichick, and it's just

243
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be avoid when this football season starts,

244
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: despite them both still being around. Uh, it's gonna be

245
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: they might never be filled again. Let's dive into the

246
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: NFC East, and we had two major major moves this week. Obviously,

247
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: Dak got franchise, but I think that was inevitable. When

248
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: he didn't get he didn't get extended. It was a

249
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper was signed to a massive deal, and the

250
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles traded for Darius Slay And I think you

251
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: saw two organizations that operate completely differently. Jerry Jones is

252
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: one of the great business men in the history of America.

253
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: He's been a big part. Like I say, Brady and

254
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: Anning were like the bird and magic, Him and Craft

255
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: and Goodell have kind of been the David Stern of

256
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: the NFL, blowing it up, marketing it, making it a

257
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: really big deal. That they have played a role in

258
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: that over the last twenty years. In terms of labor, uh,

259
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: in terms of the C b A. I mean that

260
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: they play a role in that, but just he's he's

261
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: part when I talk about the television show, he's a

262
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: big part. He's a big character in the television show.

263
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: One thing he doesn't do a good job of though,

264
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: when he traded a first round pick for Mary Cooper,

265
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: he should have been proactive in signing him to a

266
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: deal right then because he would have paid of what

267
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: he just got him for. Howie Roseman is the complete opposite.

268
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: He is all in. The Eagles hang their hat on this.

269
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: They're always progressive with their contracts in terms of they're

270
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: always out in front of guys early so they don't

271
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: get into a pinch late because if you wait late,

272
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: you pay a premium. If you let the guy get

273
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: close to free agency, you play, you pay top market value.

274
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: Now it's all I mean, still paying guys, but you

275
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: don't pay zach Ertz thirty million dollars guaranteed. If you

276
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: extend him a year before his contracts up, you pay

277
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: him twenty one million dollars guaranteed. Fletcher Cox was an elite,

278
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: elite player, and he was when he was in his peak,

279
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: was kind of close to Donald He got sixty three

280
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: guaranteed Donald end up getting eighty seven because you always

281
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: think about signing guys before you get to the moment

282
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: where the rubber has to meet the road. Now, the

283
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys are lucky, They're a huge brand, They're a great

284
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: team to play for if you like being famous, and

285
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: they have no state income tax. So Marie Cooper clearly

286
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: didn't want to leave. But here's the thing with Mary

287
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: Cooper and I like him, Mari. I watched him when

288
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: he got drafted here for the Raiders. I was confidence

289
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be a Hall of Famer by about year

290
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: two when he's going to Pro Bowls. He leaves a

291
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: little something to be desired. I'm not saying he's not

292
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: a really good player. I think in a perfect world,

293
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: he's like an elite number two. If he's your number one,

294
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: you better have a really good number or two. Like

295
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: when I look at a number one, I think Julio Jones,

296
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: I think Michael Thomas, hell Tyreek Hill can be at

297
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: number one. I think what Odell Beckham should be able

298
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: to do with his quarterback can function, Davonte Adams. I

299
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: know those guys can carry my offense. Amari can have stretches.

300
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: You know when he got traded to the Cowboys, he

301
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: had like a five game stretch where he was awesome.

302
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: Last year he has moments and I know he was injured.

303
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: But Michael Thomas last year got paid a lot of money,

304
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: a ton of cash. Do you know what he did?

305
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Hundred forty nine catches, sevent dred yards, nine touchdowns. You

306
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: know what, Sean Payton, Mickey Loomis, whoever that gayl Benson.

307
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm worth every freaking penny you paid me. Jump on

308
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: my back and I'll carry our ass to the division championship.

309
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper again, really good season, career highs seventy nine

310
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: catches basically yards, nine touchdowns. He was really good. A

311
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: maori has the talent to dominate. A maori has the

312
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: talent to be a hundred catch, you know yard, twelve

313
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: touchdown guy and just eviscerate defensive backs. But he kind

314
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: of picks the spots and if you get into him,

315
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't love being physical, but when he's

316
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: on and he's feeling it, he destroys shitty defensive backs,

317
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: decent defensive backs. If he's feeling it, he'll destroy that

318
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: guy too. But really good defensive back especially the physical ones.

319
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: They can throw him out of his game. So a

320
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: guy that's pretty flawed. I don't love paying top market value,

321
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: but I think there is an inormitate amount of pressure

322
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: now on a Mark Cooper time to be a legit

323
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: one because you just got paid for like one. Here's

324
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: the problem, though, when you pay a guy, he doesn't

325
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: change Amory's giving you five years, we know exactly who

326
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: he is. Very talented, can be very productive. When he

327
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: gets banged up, can't really play at He's gotta be

328
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: a hundred percent to be productive, so you gotta keep

329
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: him healthy, which it's football, you get hurt. Uh. It

330
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: makes me a little nervous, and I think Jerry should

331
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: have handled this about a year ago, you know, when

332
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: they traded for the guy. This guy should have been

333
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: extended last year coming into the year. I don't understand

334
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: why Jerry always waits like he thinks he's gonna find

335
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: something out that he doesn't know over that period of time.

336
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: Because he always likes the guy, and then he keeps

337
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: the guy and he pays top market value. He gets

338
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: himself kind of screws himself how he is the opposite.

339
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: They clearly needed a wide receiver mid season or excuse me,

340
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: a corner mid season and how he was deep in

341
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: on Jalen Ramsey. Well, they got to a point in

342
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: time where how he goes, I gotta pay two ones

343
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: and a two and then eventually give this guy the

344
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper contract of corners, which is gonna be seventy

345
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: eight million dollars guaranteed. That's a lot, and you know what,

346
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: that's too much this year once free agency starts, really

347
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: wants Byron Jones. He gets to a point where he's

348
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: becoming the highest corner in the history of the lead

349
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: high spake corner in the history of the EU in

350
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: a two year span, you know, And how he goes

351
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: Yet I can't do that. So what does he do?

352
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: He ends up because he's patient, and anyone that's playing

353
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: the stocks right now you realize, take a deep breath,

354
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 1: let everything play out for the next two or three months,

355
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: and then take inventory right going right now, there's so

356
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: much unknown and you can overpay for stuff and get screwed.

357
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: Take a deep breath, relax, have a price point where

358
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: if it doesn't hit, don't buy it. I got a

359
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: couple of stocks right now until they get bottom out

360
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: to a number. I'm not touching. I refuse to touch

361
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: Snapchat might be one, but I'm not touching unless it

362
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: gets to a certain number. So what did how he do?

363
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: He's very smart about this because he's so good with

364
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: numbers and value. What's crazy about Jerry Jones one of

365
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: the great business men in the history of sports, and

366
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: he always overpays for ship when he doesn't have to.

367
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: You know, he could have just been ahead of it

368
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: a year ago or two years ago. Same with Dak.

369
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: Imagine if he would have given Dak money before or

370
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz got Peyton, Doc would have got ninety five guaranteed.

371
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: Doc would have been happy as a pig and mud

372
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: and got million, and now he'd be under contract. You

373
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to worry about this. Maybe you could have

374
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: got a Marie for like fifty million, save ten, you know,

375
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: guaranteed dollars, and these guys would be quote unquote way

376
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: under the market value. Now, Howie Roseman needs Darius Slay,

377
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: a guy guy has always become available, ends up getting

378
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: him for a third and a fifth, a guy that's

379
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: been a countless Pro Bowls, and then signs them to

380
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: do a contract extension for way less than Byron Jones.

381
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: Check the two resumes. He's been a way better player

382
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: than Byron Jones is coming into the league, and he

383
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: fits their scheme big press corner. So when you see

384
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles and you see the Cowboys, both of them

385
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: are gonna be probably the two teams out of the

386
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: NFC East because the Redskins got a long way to

387
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: go and the Giants are terrible that you're gonna go, Yeah,

388
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the and the Cowboys. It's gonna be

389
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: a little harder for the Cowboys because they got a

390
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: new coach and doesn't look like O t A s

391
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: are gonna happen. So Mike McCarthy is gonna have a

392
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, a smaller period of time to imploy meant

393
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: his offense and his defense. Luckily, though they got a

394
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: lot of guys returning that they do have a lot

395
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: of talent. I think they they're two playoff teams, but

396
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: one team consistently is pretty smart about their moves. Jerry

397
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: can get a little over aggressive, and I like I say,

398
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: I am pro being aggressive. Howie Roseman's aggressive. He will

399
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: trade a pick for a player. He has no problem

400
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: doing it. But he also draws a line in the sand.

401
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: He goes, you know what, that doesn't pencil, and I

402
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: think too often for Jerry, he's like, ah, screw it,

403
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: let's just do it, and then they get in trouble.

404
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: Cap Wise, it happens to him every four or five years.

405
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: Were the Eagles for the most part, because they're always

406
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: thinking big picture and always thinking in the terms of

407
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: get this guy for a little cheaper. If we extend

408
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: them early, even though it's gonna look like a lot

409
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: of money at the time, two years from then, we're

410
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: gonna have flexibility if that player is injured not playing

411
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: as well, we can get off the contract. And the

412
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: Eagles are always doing that and that's why they're always

413
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: able to pivot. They've been in the playoffs three straight years.

414
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: They reloaded this offseason. They got the sweet defensive tackle

415
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: from the Pittsburgh's Deelers, they got Darius Slay. They're gonna

416
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: nail some draft picks, I'm sure, or try to, and

417
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in a position where they're gonna view

418
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: themselves as the team that's gonna win the division, where

419
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys it's gonna feel like it's gonna be division

420
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: champs or bust, just giving how much they're paying everybody.

421
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: Zeke's on a historic contract, DAC's gonna get stupid money eventually,

422
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: Amori's just making stupid money. DeMarcus Lawrence is making huge cash.

423
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: They have to win down. They don't have a choice.

424
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: Where the Eagles still kind of have a big picture

425
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: plan always, Jerry just kind of and I get it.

426
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Jerry's hold, he's you know, if he's not

427
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: just on the back now, he's probably you know, hitting

428
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: a second shot on whole seventeen. But man, I think

429
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: sometimes if you can just take a deep breath and

430
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: it's hard, I I'm sure a lot of people listening.

431
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: I am impatient. It's something I've really really worked on

432
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: as I've gotten older, because once money and you get

433
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: involved in business, you realize you can't always be inpatient.

434
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: It's how you do dumb things. Take a deep breath,

435
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: take a step back, and one thing the Cowboys have

436
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: a really really hard time doing. And then they get

437
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: in these positions where it's like, God, how do they

438
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: have the most overpaid team in the league. Because they

439
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: wait till the contracts up to to extend the guy.

440
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: Because if these guys like staying in Dallas, who wouldn't

441
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: your Dallas cowboy, the America's team, the team that gets

442
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: million people a game to watch. Fox and NBC and

443
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: CBS would if they could every Fox game they put

444
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: on prime time. But man, the way they operate with

445
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: their money is just you're watching two teams in the

446
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: division that are both gonna view themselves, you know, as

447
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: super Bowl contenders this upcoming season. Again, as long as

448
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: the season goes down and they're doing it a little

449
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: bit differently. Okay, let's rattle off some stories and uh

450
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: just basically everything that some big stories that have happened

451
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: over the last I don't know, three days. One big

452
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: story that happened Thursday was the Rams released Todd Gurley.

453
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to give them a reprieve on

454
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: this one because I don't. I think they're terrible with

455
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: their money. They traded a first round pick for Brandon

456
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: Cooks and they signed them in O T A s

457
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: because he looks sweet. Well, yeah, guys that run four

458
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: to five in shorts and a T shirt look incredible

459
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: and it's awful. As someone told me today, they to

460
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: get him, they might have been able to give him

461
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: away for a seventh round pick when you factor in

462
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: the money. So Todd Gurley and Mike Silver and I

463
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: think I talked about this on Tuesday, said that there

464
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: were trade talks happening with Todd Gurley and Brandon Cooks

465
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: and and I've been tweeting this all week, and I said,

466
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: I think I said this on the last podcast. Yeah,

467
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: the trade talks were happening between Sean McVeigh and Less Sneat.

468
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: No team would touch him. I had a team in

469
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: the league tell me today that if Todd Gurley was

470
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: gonna get traded, the Rams were gonna have to include

471
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: a second round pick. That's how toxic the contract is.

472
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: And you know what's crazy. He accounted for fourteen touchdowns

473
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: last year. It's the arthritic knee, the massive contract. The

474
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: extension has not even started. You know, most companies, especially

475
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: startups you know the last ten years, do not start

476
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: by generating their own money. They're funded by venture capitalists

477
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: like the Athletic. Right now, I write an article for

478
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: them usually once a week. It's kind of slowed down now,

479
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: but Athletic made it because people funded them. Then they

480
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: create this great business model. Then it becomes something, and

481
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: those venture capitalist companies own a piece of it. But

482
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: most companies Snapchat, Twitter or whatever, Facebook, all these companies

483
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 1: that have started square, you name it. Over the last

484
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: handful of years, you see them all untucked. You go

485
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: through a million companies. Every company you hear on a

486
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: podcast is being back to start by big money. That's

487
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: how you get off the ground, that's how you create products,

488
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: that's how you pay for all these employees. You need

489
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: some funding to kind of start big to market. Well.

490
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: Being a general manager, you're not spending your own money.

491
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: You're just using a budget too. And it's a large

492
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: budget because right now this year, the salary caps a

493
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: hundred ninety eight million dollars. So every owner is given

494
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: their GM a hundred ninety eight million dollars to put

495
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: together a squad. This say't a mom and pop shop.

496
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: You got a hundred ninety eight million dollars. Well, a

497
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: lot of people that are gms, and I say it

498
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: all the time, I use the term meat head are

499
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: just not quite intelligent enough to handle that type money.

500
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: Can you imagine going from like a scout to a

501
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: college director to all of a sudden being a GM

502
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 1: and you have a budget of a hundred ninety eight

503
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: million dollars. In two years it will be two twenty

504
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: million dollars. Imagine that. I think how important it is

505
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: to have the money guy that you trust, or be

506
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: a money guy and understand it. It's what makes Belichick

507
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: so great, right, he can do it all. Well, let's

508
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: need and I don't totally blame it's just scout. He

509
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: doesn't understand money. He's just paying everybody trading all these

510
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: picks for players. Well, it's he's got a problem on

511
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: his hands now. He just a player that I'm pretty

512
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: sure the dead cap with Todd Gurley they caught him

513
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: because they didn't want to pay him ten million dollars

514
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: because he's not worth it. But now he's got sixteen

515
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: millions of dead cap. They got Brandon Cooks, who they

516
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: don't really want. They got Jared Goff, who actually is

517
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: a solid player. The problem is, though, when you're paying

518
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: Jared Goff a hundred ten million dollars, you can't pay

519
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. And Jared Goff's not a good enough athlete

520
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: to run around and Aaron Donald worth every penny. Elite player,

521
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey will be worth every penny when they pay him.

522
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: The problem is they haven't paid him yet, and to

523
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: acquire him and took two first rounders in a second rounder.

524
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: So the way they've got here is like Todd Gurley

525
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: at least was draft in the top ten and they

526
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: hit and then when Sean McVeigh got there, he was awesome.

527
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: The problem was if you look back when they did

528
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: pay him, well, the reason you drafted him at ten,

529
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: the reason he was there is because he had a

530
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: torn a c L. So you acquired him when he

531
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: was hurt. Now, in fairness, the a c L usually

532
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: doesn't come back to bite you once you prove your healthy,

533
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: especially at a young age, and this one did. But

534
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: the Brandon Cooks trade or the excuse me, the Brandon

535
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: Cook's contract to me is the more indefensible one than girl.

536
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: I think the girly mistake is understandable. He was an

537
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: elite talent. They drafted him. McVeigh got there, he was

538
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: really good. It's just backfired because that first year on

539
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh there and I think they lost. That was

540
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: the year they lost in the first round of the

541
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Todder Gurle was incredible the first of the

542
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: second year was awesome, and then the arth rightist thing happened,

543
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: and then the rest is history. But I say this

544
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: all the time. I never when coaches talk, you know,

545
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: unless I know him and I'm texting with him. If

546
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: they're just talking to the press, I pay no attention

547
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: to what they say. It doesn't mean anything to me.

548
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh has been saying telling me how great Todd

549
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: Gurley has been for the last year, how good of

550
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: a player he is, how much he means to them.

551
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: It's like Sean, he barely gets on the field for you.

552
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: You rotate him in and out. You just cut him.

553
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: You just cut a guy that you're gonna take a

554
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: dead cap for sixteen million dollars. So you tell me

555
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: how good he is. I don't give a ship. You

556
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: can tell me he's He was Earl Campbell, he was

557
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: Walter Payton. You just admitted you don't think he's any

558
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: good anymore. You just told us. So I say this

559
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: all the time. Judge teams off their actions and not

560
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: their words. So they're hyping up a player and he's

561
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: not playing. They that's what they're telling you what they

562
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: think of him. And the rams just told you what

563
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: they think of Todd Gurley. He's not worth any money anymore,

564
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 1: not at that not that level. Now, if they had

565
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: him for three or four million, would they have kept him,

566
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: Probably unless something's going on the locker room or something

567
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: I don't know about, but for sure, at this point

568
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: in time, with the injury, he's not even close to

569
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: worth it. And on the open market, it was gonna

570
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: take a second, more than likely a second round pick

571
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: to have a team trade for him. So that means

572
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: a team gives you like a six or seventh, you

573
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: give them a second, and they'll take Todd Gurley. That

574
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: that's what it had become. That's pretty nuts. It shows

575
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: you in the NFL. This is a big reason why

576
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: guaranteed dollars. Uh. You know, you can't guarantee the contracts

577
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: because guys do get hurt and if you, if teams

578
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: were constantly stuck like this, all these teams would be

579
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: in a pinch. And right now the Rams are in

580
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: a major pinch because Todd Gurley is accounting for a

581
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: huge percentage of their cap and Jared Goff is just

582
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: starting to make huge money. Same with Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey,

583
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: hasn't even been paid yet. They don't have a first

584
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: round pick. What think about that for the next two years.

585
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: So they put all their chips in the middle of

586
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: the table and it's just that they're in trouble and

587
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: it's really really gonna test Sean McVeigh and how good

588
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: of a coach he is. Uh. The Carolina Panthers they

589
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: pretended for like a month how much they love Cam.

590
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: Cam was like, I can't wait to go back. Well,

591
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: it's like something was weird, and then they started tweeting

592
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: about how he's the quarterback number one. They've given him

593
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: the ability to seek a trade as of recording this,

594
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: he's still on their team. Like, guys, they were thanks

595
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 1: for the memories, Like hey, hey, Dave Tepper, can you

596
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: tell your your Twitter media guy stop sending out tweets

597
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: until you release him or trade him, Like we need

598
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: some finality with this. You either gotta move him like

599
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: the Patriot Tom Brady left. Then they tweeted all their tweets.

600
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: You don't tweet quarterback number one thanks for everything while

601
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: he's still in your squad, as you signed Teddy Bridgewater.

602
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: So there's a great unknown with Cam Newton. How healthy

603
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: is he Obviously, the problem with the coronavirus, you can't

604
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: have a physical, you can't work him out, You really

605
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: have no clue. So I actually think the corona really

606
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: works against Cam right because his health. If Cam was

607
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: completely healthy, he'd find a team immediately. He would have

608
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: been on the Bears. Maybe the Charges would have signed

609
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: him without even blinking. Hell, the Panthers might have kept him,

610
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: but maybe they Maybe the Panthers think his foots all

611
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: messed up. Now, if they did, I would imagine they

612
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: would have already cut him. So you know, it's it's

613
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: inevitable he's not gonna be on the team. But it's

614
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: kind of a bizarre situation folds to the Bears. Uh. Look,

615
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: look what the Bears have had to do to kind

616
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: of overcome the Trabisky mistake. Mitch. They traded up from

617
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: three to two, I think a second and a third

618
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: round pick to get Mitch. They just traded a fourth

619
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: round pick and took on money to get Nick Foles,

620
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: who it makes it a little easier to acquire Nick Foles,

621
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: let's say, than Cam Newton if you're the Bears, Because

622
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: if you acquire Cam Newton, Cam Newton's gotta be your starter,

623
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: Like you can't be like, oh, We're gonna have an

624
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: open competition between Cam Newton and mit R Biscuit. It's like,

625
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: come on, guys, who who are we kidding? Nick Foles

626
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: still probably better than miss R Whisky. Uh yeah, he

627
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: is better than Mr. Whisky, but he's been a backup before.

628
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: I think it's easy to sell like open competition Foles

629
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: Mitch and just let it play out. But I guess

630
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: we'll know in the next week or two whether they

631
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: pick up the fifth year option. I don't see under

632
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: any circumstance how they can pick up the fifth year option.

633
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: Solid move. Naggi has worked with him in Philly and

634
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. De Filippo worked with him in Philadelphia

635
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: when they won UM when they won the Super Bowl,

636
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: he was the quarterback coach. Bill Laser worked with him

637
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: with Chip Kelly when he was in Philadelphi. You so

638
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: they have a lot of experience, and I think experience

639
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: with players you're acquiring has never meant more because of

640
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. There's gonna be no O t A practices,

641
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: there's gonna be no implementing the offense for new players.

642
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: Now you can do some virtual stuff, but it's not

643
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: the same. There's there's that doesn't happen in football. Football

644
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: players are used to sitting in meeting rooms and go

645
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: into the practice field to learn their craft, and that's

646
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: not on the table right now. Robert Quinn of the Bears.

647
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: I was told by someone on the Bear staff like

648
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: that's been one of their targets. So they feel that

649
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: guy fits perfectly at him with Khalil Mack, with a

650
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: Keem Hicks, I keep Danny Trevathan, Roquan Smith comes back

651
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: from injury. Their their defense should be really good. The

652
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: Bears defense should be really good. If they just get

653
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: solid quarterback play, I think they should be they'd be

654
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: a solid team. Sean Payton has the corona. That was

655
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: a pretty big story that came out on Thursday. Uh.

656
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: You know, when I first saw it, I was like,

657
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, it would be one thing if I had

658
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: the corona, Right, I'm thirty five old and in good health.

659
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: I just quarantine. I'll be fine. He is fifty six

660
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: years old, you know, I know he's not seventy, but

661
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: he's not He's not a sprint chicken. So that's I

662
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty serious. You know, you see all

663
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: these things about the NBA players have it well, the

664
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 1: NBA players or like the best athletes in the world

665
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: they're in. I mean that whatever peak shape is there

666
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: above that Sean Payton is just a fifty six year

667
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: old kind of chubby football coach. And that's that's scary

668
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: just reading that. Melvin Gordon somehow still doesn't have a team.

669
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: What a bizarre career. You know, draft in the first

670
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: round looks like a bust. They draft J. J. Watts brother.

671
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: He kind of resurrect his career. Then he becomes a

672
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: really good player. Then his head Nigo get kind of

673
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: big and he wants a huge contract. He holds out

674
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: even though they're giving him like ten million dollars a

675
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: year or offering him ten millions of dollars a year.

676
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: He refused to take it. Then comes back. This is

677
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 1: kind of it was solid. Eckler ends up getting paid.

678
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: He can't find a job. No one wants to pay

679
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: him because I think he probably wants like thirty five

680
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: million dollars and guaranteed money. No one's gonna pay him that.

681
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: Uh what else? Where will Jamis Winston go? Like? Where

682
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: is Jamis Winston going? Seriously, where is Jamis Winston going? Like,

683
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: at least Cam. If Cam can pass the physical, someone

684
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: will sign him one million percent. I read a story today.

685
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: Let me let me rephrase that. I saw a headline

686
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: today from like NBC Washington that the Redskins are contemplating

687
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: signing Jamis to have him come be the backup for

688
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins. Under no circumstances in any world, especially the

689
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: world we're living in right now, could Dwayne Haskins beat

690
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: out Jamis Winston. Listen, Jamis Winston is flawed, he's reckless,

691
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: but he is way better than Dwayne Haskins is March

692
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty. I'll promise you that I don't see how

693
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: there's If those two guys split reps, James will beat

694
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: him out. It's just I don't even think it would

695
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: be a question. Jamis Actually what makes him a unique

696
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: in a in a in a a unique situation is

697
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: that he is a very reckless player, and no one

698
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: can dispute the turnovers because they're terrible. But he is

699
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: really talented and he's really smart. Academic qualifier at Stanford,

700
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 1: like learning football is not a problem. It's just decision making,

701
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: which is a problem. I'm not saying he's a perfect player,

702
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: but he's still still good. I mean good in the

703
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: sense like can be good if he can cut the turnovers. Now,

704
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: Mike Mayox is a good general manager. You know, when

705
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock got the job, remember how many people like

706
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: around football were like, oh, another media guy just getting

707
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: an easy gig. Didn't have to put in the dues,

708
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: Like I hate that putting the dues, or he didn't

709
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: deserve that. Now we've all been watching Mike Mayock for

710
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: twenty years on TV. He knew a ship. He was

711
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: really really impressive. He was really good. Of any analysts

712
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: in any sport on television, his job was you know,

713
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: it was kind of itch because he was specifically talking

714
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: about the draft. Now, granted, the draft's kind of a

715
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 1: three sixty five topic, but he was elite and he's

716
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: a really good general manager, and he knows exactly what

717
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: he's looking for. Tough guys, guys that have been a

718
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: part of winning cultures, even backup players that are maybe

719
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: ascending or just former starters that can come in and compete.

720
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 1: He has been. If John Gruden didn't hire Mike Mayock,

721
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders might have had no chance. But I actually

722
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: think Mayock and just the way he looks at football

723
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: and kind of goes for guys with maybe lower ceilings

724
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: but higher floors. If they can just hit on a

725
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: couple of blue chippers in the draft, the Raiders finally

726
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: feel like they got a little identity and are headed

727
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: in the right direction. If Mike Mayock, for whatever reason,

728
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: this is not gonna happen, we was like fired by

729
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: the Raiders tomorrow. I think he'd be the number one

730
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: general manager candidate in the NFL of like guys that

731
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: would be available. Like, I think he's he's really really good,

732
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: really really impressive. The Raiders are pretty lucky to have him. Okay,

733
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: let's answer some loough mail back questions. May only do

734
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: a couple because I need to save them for the

735
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: upcoming weeks. If you were a Chiefs fan, how do

736
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: you like this free agency? I feel like we have

737
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: to get rid of keep big weapons and pay for

738
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: it the Mahomes contract. What are your thoughts If you

739
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: are the Chiefs, how would you deal with the cap space? Well,

740
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: they haven't cut Sammy Watkins, so they're still I guess,

741
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, going his plan. I think they'd like for

742
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: him to take a little bit of a discount. Chris

743
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: Jones on the franchise tag clue they would like to

744
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: get him with a long term extension. I think the

745
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: game plan is is pretty clear. You can bring back

746
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys and you know, have a

747
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: chance to win another Super Bowl. They have a super

748
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: Bowl team. They have a really good offensive line. They

749
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: can add a running back in the draft to go

750
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: with Kelsey, to go with Hill, to go with Sammy,

751
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: to go with Hardeman. Uh, their defensive line, you got

752
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: Frank Clark, you still got Chris Jones. They need they

753
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: need a draft a linebacker. They got corners and safeties,

754
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: so they need some linebackers and they need a running back.

755
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: Other than that, Chiefs are in pretty good shape. Oh

756
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: and add all the Okay, the Rams, there's a long one.

757
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: Been listening to the the pod for a while and really

758
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: like a lot of the things happening around the league.

759
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Ram fan, originally from southern California but

760
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: now live in Seattle. I was wondering if you had

761
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: any insight to what the Rams organization seems to be doing.

762
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: Not gonna lie. Last season was rough. Problems of golf,

763
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: being a mediocre system pocket quarterback and exposed and exploited.

764
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: The future doesn't look much better either. Seemingly overnight, they've

765
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: made a lot of questionable moves. Resigned Whitworth in blythe

766
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: let Littleton and Brocker's walk, and rumors are there shopping

767
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: Gerlean Cooks. I'm not sure they will double down on

768
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: their mistake of giving goth An insane amount of money

769
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: being a subpar quarterback, or maybe they have something else

770
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: in the works. But with a lot not a lot

771
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: of cops cap space and good draft picks this year,

772
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm not having a hard time being optimistic. Yeah, I

773
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: think they're in trouble. And then he I guess he

774
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: tweeted out and they just cut gurly. I think here's

775
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: the problem. They're in a financial pinch. They had to

776
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: let Brockers and Littleton walk, and clearly those are two

777
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: of their better players, not you know, Donald at Ramsey level,

778
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: but really good. Now they still have Golf, they need

779
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: to protect him better. They need to coach up the

780
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: offensive line because they got multiple wide receiving threats at

781
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: tight end. Right they have Everett and uh, they have Higbee.

782
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: Then Cooks is probably not going anywhere. So you got Cooks,

783
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: and you've got Cooper Cup and you still got Robert Woods.

784
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: Now you drafted a running back last year. He's got

785
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: to start playing better, so you have some offensive weaponry.

786
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: Now the defense, like you said, Littleton's gone, Brocker's is gone,

787
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: well retired. They got some issues. I don't. They gotta

788
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: don't have any draft picks. Gonna be tough. Hi, John

789
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: loved the pot. It's the only one I listened to

790
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: consistently appreciate that. My question for you is what will

791
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson have to do to get an m v P.

792
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: I feel like the entire Seahawk organization hinges on him,

793
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: and without him, the Seahawks would be a five team

794
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: at best. Yeah, they'd below five. It bothers my mind

795
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: that he has somehow never received a vote. I didn't

796
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: know that. That's insane. If that's true, I legitimately cannot

797
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: think of a team that relies on their quarterback more

798
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 1: than Seattle. He has a lot of massive glaring holes

799
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: with the team. Also, what do you think of the

800
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: over undertime wise is on him winning another Super Bowl? Well,

801
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: Clowne's still on sign. That's something I didn't mention in

802
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: the and when I was going over some of the stories,

803
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, Jadaveon, if you played hard like you

804
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: can do, you would get million dollars because when you

805
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: try it, you're unblockable. But you don't try all the time.

806
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: When you don't try all the time, how can anyone

807
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: feel comfortable giving you a lot of money? Because if

808
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: you tried all the time, Seattle wouldn't pay you. And

809
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: then they have you. They got DK Metcalf, they got

810
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, They've got some young core pieces. They got

811
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: the the digs. The guy traded for him for the

812
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: Lions was a baller. You got Bobby Wagner. I think

813
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: with another good draft, the Seattle Seahawks could be in

814
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: position to make a run this year. Russell Wilson at

815
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 1: the peak of his powers. Now they gotta keep clowning

816
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: to me. Now, I wouldn't overpay Clowney, but if I

817
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: can get him for like fifteen sixty million, I would

818
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: think about doing it, because I think they're really good.

819
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean their offense, they're gonna have. They signed Greg Olsen,

820
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: what's his name, dis Lee that tours Achilles. He'll be back.

821
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 1: You got Hollister, who's actually not bad. Locket's the stud

822
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: DK Metcal is pretty damn good. Carson will be healthy.

823
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: Penny towards a c L, but whatever. You can get

824
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: a running back and guys come back from a c L,

825
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: so you've got some You've got offensive pieces. If the

826
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: defense is just a little bit better and maybe add

827
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 1: one more weapon. Yeah, I think he could win an

828
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: MVP in the next year or two. I'm a Colts fan,

829
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: so happy for the Buckner trade and rivers to. I

830
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: guess I didn't start to just say thank you for

831
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: the podcasting. I'm a fan from Portugal, stuck in London.

832
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: Do the pandemic fuel you? Man? That sucks. Just today

833
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: I was going for a walk around the block listen

834
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: to you, trying to think about something else. I really

835
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: like listening to you. I guess this is a positive.

836
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: I appreciate the positive. Uh. Note here, I'm a Colts fan,

837
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: so happy for the Buckner trade and rivers to. I

838
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: guess you'll mention it on the next pot. Yeah. I

839
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: think this is a little bit old. Okay, last one

840
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 1: here in a two year regular season period, does Breeze

841
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: or Brady win more games? Who wins more potential playoff games.

842
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 1: Love the podcast. You and Haberman are the only straightforward

843
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: and relatable sports guys. I appreciate that we just started

844
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: a YouTube page promo code Ham check it out. We'll

845
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: do sports takes there. I if I would had to bet,

846
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: the safe bet would be Breeze. His team's already intact.

847
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: They have a really good defense. They just they have

848
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: a set offense like Brady and Arians needs to create

849
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: an offense. Brady is running ran a specific offense in

850
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 1: New England, especially these last three or four years. Right,

851
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: it's a little quote unquote dinky and dunking. Right, they

852
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: throw to the running back a lot, they throw to

853
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: the slot receiver a lot. Bruce Arians has been notorious

854
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: for throwing bombs. It's like NFL blitz. He's throwing go routes,

855
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: and that they're gonna have to meet in the middle.

856
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: He even told I think Mike Silver was tweeting about

857
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: when he talked to Bruce Arians, what they need to do.

858
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: They gotta meet in the middle. They gotta figure it out.

859
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time. Bruce

860
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: Arians is one of the better offensive minds in recent memory.

861
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: I think they can now the coronavirus no O t

862
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: A s. They're not gonna have practice that's not ideal.

863
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to figure that out. Between those

864
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: two and uh yeah, I mean I I think, I

865
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be good. But I do think there's

866
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: some unknown and there's just a natural transition period in

867
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: football of learning an offense, of knowing what to do

868
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: of your receivers, knowing what he wants you to do.

869
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a period of time of figuring things out.

870
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: There is none of that with the Saints. They already

871
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: everyone knows the offense. It's Drew Brees and Sean Payton's offense.

872
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: It's it's their baby. Michael Thomas knows it, Jared Cook

873
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: knows it, Alvin Kamara knows it, Taysom Hill knows it.

874
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: They all know it. So and the defense is it's

875
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: just all set. So you would lean the Saints, but

876
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: I think it's probably by your two. Maybe it could swing,

877
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: but if I was a betting man, I still pick

878
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: the Saints to win the division and the Bucks to

879
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: be a wild card team. Appreciate everyone listening. Again, Stay safe,

880
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: be smart, quarantine, stay inside. Uh, don't don't touch others,

881
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: wash your hands, give a good distance to older people.

882
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: I was around my mom earlier this week. I kept

883
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: telling her stay away, don't get close to me, and

884
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: she made me lunch and we we I said, put

885
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: it on the you know, put it on the dining

886
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: room table, and I'll come around. I feel like I'm

887
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: the parent now. Uh, but yeah, I'm I'm I'm being

888
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: serious though, even though it's it's kind of funny, but

889
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: it's not funny at all. So stay safe, be positive, Um,

890
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: come together, help people out. If you've got a little money,

891
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: be nice to people, be compassionate, you know, hell, support

Speaker 1: your local you know, restaurant, take take home food, go

893
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: pick up food. Um. This is a time when we

894
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: all can kind of rally around each other try to

895
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: be better people. I know, I know, I definitely can. Again.

896
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: I appreciate all you guys, and uh, we'll have fun

897
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks talking about middle cuff

898
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: mail bags. Maybe I don't know it, we'll figure it

899
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: out as we go. Thanks. Uh, talk to you guys soon.

900
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: Two
