Speaker 1: What is going on everybody? John Middlecop three in out podcast.

Speaker 1: I hope everyone had a good weekend as well as possible.

3
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: I know, depending on what we've got people that live

4
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: all over the country, hell over the world didn't listen

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: to this. I didn't realize Coward is a big fan base,

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: and I know many of you have reached out said

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: you've listened to me or found me through him. Appreciate

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: everyone listening. Hopefully you guys are keeping your head up

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: during this quarantine. It kind of feels like, I know, California,

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: it was announced today we're gonna start phasing things in

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: starting Friday, uh May seven, I think seventh, eighth, maybe

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: the eighth, maybe the ninth. I don't even know the

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: exact day, but this Friday. I know a lot of

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: the southern states are already getting phased in. Uh. New

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: York obviously is not in great shape, but you know

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: a lot of other states are coming back. So hopefully,

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: if you know, work in a business, you know you furloughed,

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: you know you run a small business, whatever, Uh, hopefully

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: we can get this thing rolling and at least get

20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: gets try to attempt to get the train back on

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: the tracks. Uh. And you know, luckily we'll dive into

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: this right off the top. With the NFL schedule is

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: coming out, there's just a lot of unknown A lot

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: of stories are flying back or around about. I know,

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: I know the UFC, it's coming back. Are they fighting

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: this week? What's weird is like I went when I

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: went to cal Poly, Chuck Lydell was at cal Poly

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: alum and when I was there in the early two thousands,

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: the UFC was huge because Chuck was a rock star,

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: Tito Rampage. But I just I don't really like it

31
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: that much. And I'm I'm pro violence, but I just

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,279
Speaker 1: never really got into the UFC. Though I love Dana White,

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: I like what the UFC stands for. I just the fighting,

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know a little barbaric for it.

35
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: I don't even know, Like I I have nothing but respect,

36
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: you know. I remember first time I ever met wrestlers

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: was at cal Poly and these dudes, this guy named

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: Chad Mendez, then ended up going to the m A.

39
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: If you guys are UFC fans, you've probably seen this

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: guy fight. Dude. It's like a hundred fifty pounds and

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: people would pick on them and you'd kick the ship

42
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: out of them. So it's just like I had nothing

43
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: to respect for the wrestlers. It's just I don't know,

44
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: just not my cup of tea. Uh, they're coming back,

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: some stories about baseball and basketball obviously, golf, golf courses

46
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: around the country opening up, and then golf is eventually

47
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: coming back, I think in early June, the PGA Tour.

48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: But in the NFL, we'll dive into the schedule and

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: just at the end of the day that timing has

50
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: been on their side. A bunch of NFL stories this weekend.

51
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: No international games, the virtual off season programs in full swing.

52
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: Some thoughts on the fifth year option. I kind of

53
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: dove into some number. It's kind of crazy how many

54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: guys didn't get their fifth year options picked up in

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: this two thousand seventeen NFL draft. Andy Dalton Nowadallas Cowboy.

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: Who who would have thought that? Honestly, that was pretty

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: shocking news this weekend. And then the Middlecoff mailbag, like

58
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: always at John Middlecoff is my Instagram same as my

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Twitter handle. You can slide right in and leave a question,

60
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: leave a comment, leave whatever, and I read them. I'm

61
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: gonna need you. You know as these virtual programs going,

62
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: it might slow down. So we're gonna do a lot,

63
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: let me repeat, a lot of interacting with the people,

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: because it's, like I say, it's the people show. Also,

65
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you guys have and if

66
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: you haven't had a chance to do it and you

67
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: like the show, go to iTunes at or not at

68
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: but the three and out the podcast page. Go leave

69
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: a review five stars, you know, if you like it.

70
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: If you don't leave any review you want, but I

71
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: appreciate a five star and um and uh that's kind

72
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: of had the way the podcast business work. So go

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: there and and interact and leave a little review. But

74
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: the NFL schedules is supposed to come out in the

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: next five or six days. I think the preseason schedule

76
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: is going to be out by the end of this

77
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: week and then by early next week. I think May

78
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: ninth or May ten was a date, uh that I

79
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: saw that the NFL ideally maybe it was the eleventh.

80
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to release the schedule. And there's so many unknowns.

81
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Like any good business in weird, weird pandemic times, you

82
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: have to have a bunch of contingency plans. But you

83
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: hear this all the time from anyone that's a little successful.

84
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's just a randomness or a luck factor, or

85
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: a timing factor that's just on your side. You know,

86
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were all in on computers

87
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: in the Internet in the mid eighties. The timing was right.

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: Jobs went all in on Internet distribution, Bata bang, Bata boom. Hell,

89
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: look at Peloton right now. Remember Peloton like two months ago.

90
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: Everyone was crushing them for that ad, even though it

91
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: was so stupid, the ad was cool. Well, Pelton's crushing

92
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: right now because gyms are closed. So there was a

93
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: timing element to everything. Hell, I know this is a

94
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: media guy. I worked in radio for a while then

95
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: I got let go. Luckily the podcast world was taken off. Boom,

96
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: I run a podcast. Well, if this is would happened

97
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: twenty years ago and I was a radio show, would

98
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: I have moved somewhere else and did a radio show,

99
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. My options would have been limited. So

100
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: the game's just kind of changed sometimes in a lot

101
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: of different businesses. But there was just a timing element

102
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: on the NFL side, right. The Corona really hit strong

103
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: in early March, which their next two big events before

104
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 1: the O T a S were free agency and the draft,

105
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: and we've talked a lot about this. They were able

106
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: to do them both virtually, and I think the draft,

107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: now about a couple of weeks removed, went off as

108
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: well as it possibly could have. Was really cool. It

109
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: resonated with people, did huge numbers. But it's kind of

110
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: easy to you cancel the off season. I mean, it's

111
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: not ideal. If you gave coaches and general managers the option,

112
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: would you want to cancel O T S or not

113
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: cancel O TIS, they would clearly choose not cancel ot

114
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: as they want us to get their rookies mixed in.

115
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: They want to see their new free agents, they want

116
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: their coaches to put together the game plan, they want

117
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: to develop their young players. It's not an ideal situation,

118
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: but sty hand their dealt, so they're playing the hand

119
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: they've been dealt and they're going through virtual offseason programs.

120
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: Teams are allowed two hours a day, four days a week.

121
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: But as I said, this is not a vacation, it's

122
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: an interruption. I saw Tom Rady today working out by

123
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: himself with pads on. So the high level players and

124
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: just like most of the NFL is getting side workouts

125
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: in some way, somehow, but the NFL schedule, however it

126
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: comes out the seventeen week deal, they're gonna get some pushback.

127
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: And that's what social media does. You can't do that,

128
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: this will never happen. You can't listen to the doom

129
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: and gloomers because if you listen to the doom and

130
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: gloomers just in general, you would never do a damn

131
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: thing because the doom and gloomers don't really want anything

132
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: to happen. And then when weird times like this, everyone

133
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: on the doom and gloom side wants to say quarantine forever.

134
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: They don't want basketball to come back, they don't want

135
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: baseball to come back. They want UFC to be canceled,

136
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: they want golf to be canceled. They would like to

137
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: just stay inside. It feels like forever. Most normal humans

138
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: want to get back to real life, even though the

139
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: real life moving forward probably gonna be a little weird, right.

140
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: I saw a picture going viral last night that the casinos,

141
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, like a blackjack table. You know, before, at

142
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: least in my you know, since I was eighteen, I

143
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: was able to go to the Indian casinos that we

144
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: have in California, and you go to a black jack

145
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: table give or take what do they have five or

146
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: six seats right, you're just sitting right next to either

147
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: your buddy some random Ideally you get an empty table,

148
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: you play a couple of hands, whatever. But now they're

149
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: gonna have kind of walled off with like see through

150
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: glass or see through rubber or whatever it is. Like, Yeah,

151
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: whenever the restaurants open in the next month or two,

152
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: I would imagine it's gonna look a lot different. So

153
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, their schedule is gonna look pretty normal on paper,

154
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: but I would imagine they're gonna be very forward in

155
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: saying that. Listen, we got multiple options. If we got

156
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: to move the season back, if we got to move

157
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: the season forward, whatever we gotta do, we're gonna be

158
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: ready because unlike basketball, that didn't really have a choice.

159
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not a big Adam Silver guy. I think

160
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: he's the most overrated commisi you're in my lifetime. People

161
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: act like he's just the NBA media acts like he's

162
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: just some hero. I mean, he's done one, he's written

163
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 1: this kicking out Donald Sterling, one of the biggest loser

164
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: scumbags in the history of team ownership out of the league,

165
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: like he's some Saint Adam. Under your watch, the league

166
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: has tanked. The NFL is flown by you and people

167
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: my age in there. You know, born in the mid eighties.

168
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: Your sport was bigger than anyone during my life, when

169
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's and then under your watch once David Stern

170
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: left you. The ratings are in the tank and football.

171
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: The irony is Roger Goodell. Everyone acts like he's some

172
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: village idiot. They've laughed everybody. It's not even a fair

173
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: fight anymore now. Football the nature of the sport. We've

174
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: also talked a lot about this benefits from just being

175
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: once a week. It's the perfect podcast, radio media sport.

176
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: We gamble on it. It's just set up for society

177
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand twenty. The opposite baseball not really set

178
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: up for the youth. The youth, more than ever, has

179
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: zero attention span. You know, back when I was growing up,

180
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: you had to be like, you know, I think I

181
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: got a d D. Two feels like everyone technically qualifies

182
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: for a d D. We have no attention spans. That's

183
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: what the iPhone has done for so baseball. Well, I

184
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: still enjoy it. I know a lot of people that

185
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: enjoy it, you know, a lot of younger people. Is

186
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: hard to focus for that long, and you could argue

187
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: maybe no one ever focused on baseball that seriously all game,

188
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: every game anyway, just the nature of the sport they

189
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: play every day, kind of like a background noise you

190
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: listen to on the radio. You don't have to be

191
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: super locked in like you do for a football game.

192
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: But with the schedule that's gonna come out, Actually look

193
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: at it, like, get positive, it'll be a cool moment.

194
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: The NFL has been able to have three cool moments

195
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: in arguably the shittiest time of recent memory, probably since

196
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: the crazy housing crisis in two thou Because this has sucked,

197
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: We've been quarantined. It has not been fun. Now have

198
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: we dealt with it? And have we tried to, at

199
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: least for the most part, you know, keep a smile

200
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: on our face and be positive. I think most people have.

201
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: But this has not been ideal. No one would choose this.

202
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: No one wants to see thirty million people be unemployed.

203
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: No one wants to see all your local businesses be

204
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: closed down. But I get the NFL a lot of credit.

205
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: They've just kept rolling and they've been like, Okay, here's

206
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: what we're here's the hand would healt, here's what we'll do,

207
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: here are options, we'll try this. And again, the timing

208
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: has been on their side. They haven't had to do

209
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, they haven't had to have people present. They

210
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: had to cancel the draft because you couldn't have anyone

211
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: in an actual location because Vegas was actually canceled. They

212
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: went virtual. It worked, free agency and a lot of pushback. Hell,

213
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: even I thought, you know, is this ideal? And looking

214
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: back it was ideal, and I think this is a

215
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: great life lesson. You can't always worry. And he saw

216
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: this in the Michael Jordan document. Everyone wants you to

217
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: do what they want you to do, even though how

218
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: can you do and make everyone happy? News for you,

219
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: it is impossible. And I say this to my mom

220
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: all the time. I say this to anyone who listens.

221
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: I don't care what others think. Now is that, of

222
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: course I care what some people think. But the faster

223
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: you can get to the point of not worrying of

224
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: just what the noise thinks. You of course care what

225
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: your consumer thinks, but when they become loyal and when

226
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: they can trust you, as NFL fans trust the NFL

227
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: to provide them with entertainment, not you know, the media

228
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: freaks out, like, how could you left this guy who's

229
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: been arrested twice day in your league because there's a

230
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: private sector job he can cover a wide receiver. And

231
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: we truly don't care. You know why we don't care

232
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: because the fans have shown they don't care. That's like

233
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: the white noise. Twitter becomes the white noise. And I

234
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: like Twitter a lot. It's been a huge, you know,

235
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: a springboard in my media career. Without Twitter, who knows

236
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: if I would even got a start in the media.

237
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: But I think over the last several years it's become

238
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: a negative area. We're just misery thrives and what's the

239
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: famous statement, misery needs company. And I give the NFL

240
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: a lot of credit they've avoided that. They have just

241
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: you know what schedule release. Yeah, we can't do offseason,

242
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: so no offseason. We're going just virtual. But we're not

243
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: like Dooming Loom, no football. You know what I like

244
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: about the SEC? Multiple eighties in the SEC we're playing,

245
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: we're playing Do you know what I know sitting here

246
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: recording May fourth. The SEC is gonna have football? Is

247
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: the pact Twaves gonna have football? I don't know, you know,

248
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: I would say they will be the last of the

249
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: Power five to have football. Will Oklahoma play football this year? Yes?

250
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: Will Austin, Will the University of Texas and Texas Tech

251
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: and Texas and m play Yes. Will Ohio State do

252
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: everything humanly possible play football? Yes? Because that's just the

253
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: way they operate. And if you in college is gonna

254
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: be a little different than the pros. There's a ton

255
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: of money on the line in terms of players getting paid.

256
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: You know, clearly, as we found out through any of

257
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: these documentaries, the players get paid also in college under

258
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: the table, but we could argue they deserve more, especially

259
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: the high end guys. I'm not some anti paying players

260
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: or anti likeness, but I've just always thought it was

261
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: kind of fraudulent to pretend like, no, what j billis know?

262
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: This is such a screw job. It really a screwd job.

263
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean I just watched the documentary on the on

264
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: the you know, the guys that got arrested in college basketball,

265
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: everyone was getting six Craton was paying guys six figures

266
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: let alone Arizona and Duke and some of the big

267
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: schools given huge amounts of money. So do we always

268
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: have to cry poor for everyone when actually these guys

269
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: are getting paid. Should this be above board and not

270
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: make this so complicated? Of course? But can we not

271
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: stop being naive and pretending this is going on. It's

272
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: like whenever I read a story that these athletes have

273
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: been quarantined, haven't been listen if you have, like I've

274
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: said over and over, whatever your job is, whether it's athletics,

275
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: whether it's sales, if you have not been attempting to

276
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: do things and just binge watching shows and getting stoned

277
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: on your couch for the last forty five days, you're

278
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: getting lapped. In the real world. Tom Brady's running you know,

279
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: stairs and running footwork drills and throw into who knows

280
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: who at his house right now, Tom Brady the go.

281
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: You think, Michael Jordan, anyone that's watched the Last Dance

282
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: over the last you know what episode? Are we on?

283
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Six or three weeks? In two episodes? You know a

284
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: Sunday would have if Michael Jordan was in his prime

285
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: right now, you think you'd just be sitting at home,

286
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: just just staring at the wall, or you think he'd

287
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: be at a gym somewhere, whether you had to go

288
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: solo or whatever, and working on his game, staying sharp,

289
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: iron sharpens iron. Hell, even getting a guy to come

290
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: with him and work him out. You'd be naive to

291
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: think that he would he wouldn't do that, or that

292
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: the high end athletes right now aren't staying locked in,

293
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: just like the high end people in business. Again, you

294
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: can only do so much. There's a limit to what

295
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: you can do. You know, you're only gonna be able

296
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: to get hold of so many people. But you better

297
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: be trying because if you're not, you're gonna get just

298
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: because eventually things are gonna start, whether that's next week,

299
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: whether that's in a month. And the NFL has realized this,

300
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: and they haven't let the public pressure because it's easy

301
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: to get on social media and think everyone shut it

302
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: down no more. Hell, And I regret because I even thought, like,

303
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of agreed with Schefter about the

304
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: draft and the carnage in the streets, and you just

305
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: realize it's so easy to overreact in these times. These

306
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: are times are serious. No one is just futing that

307
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: this we shut it down for the right reasons, but

308
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: we also eventually what you get fifty sixty seventy days,

309
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: you got a siphon back to reality and the NFL,

310
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: who for some reason, they got thrown in the mix

311
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: on this, like their season isn't four months away, Like, yeah,

312
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: we plan on playing. It's also May four early May,

313
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: even early June, early July. We're still months away. And yeah,

314
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: we'll have contingency plans because we're a multibillion dollar business.

315
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: But that they've been full throttle ahead. And again, you

316
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: can crush Roger Goodell for things in the past, but

317
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: he has his leagues running on all cylinders right now. Okay,

318
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: let's dive into some stories from I guess the last

319
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: like forty eight hours, Peter King wrote, I've seen a

320
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: couple of different places that the NFL will not do

321
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: any international games. It's kind of a big deal because

322
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: clearly this London game has not just taken off of

323
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: become a big part of the league, has become a

324
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: big part of the Jacksonville Jaguars, has become a kind

325
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: of a big part of the television pack. Right they

326
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: have some of those early morning kickoffs a couple of

327
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: times a year for us on the West Coast sixty

328
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: kickoff time almost at tea time, thinking like Michael Jordan's

329
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: the East Coast nine kickoff time, I think that was

330
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: a game James through like five picks in those games

331
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: aren't gonna happen. And I've theorized for a while that

332
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars are eventually gonna live in London though,

333
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, will anyone remember this in ten years that

334
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: we didn't have international games? Also, Mexico City has been

335
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: a place that that hosts a game. Last year, I

336
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: think it did. It's definitely hosted games over the last

337
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: several years. So no international games at the end of

338
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: the day, I gets for fans and for me talking

339
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that much. But you know what by no

340
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: means hate the lending games. Uh, the fifth year options.

341
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: I did a little study the last you know, three

342
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: or four years, on average, thirteen players had not had

343
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: their fifth year options picked up. So there are six,

344
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, thirty two picks. Six team would be fourteen

345
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: was two thousand seventeen, which would be if you round

346
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: up on average, right around So think about that. Put

347
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: that in context of this year's draft, because everyone that

348
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: hit me happy with our pick. Oh we got becked In,

349
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: Oh we got Judy, Oh we got raagor maybe not happy.

350
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: Oh we got Justin Jefferson. Oh we got this guy.

351
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: Oh we got this guy. On average, those picks will

352
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: not have their fifth year option picked up. As I

353
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: talked about on Friday, if you're not picking up the

354
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: fifth year option on the player, it's a disaster. Now,

355
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: there have been some examples, right Fuller with the Jet

356
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: with the Bears, did not have his fifth year option

357
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: picked up, had a big fourth year, and then got

358
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: extended by the Bears. Brandon Cooks, who the Saints did

359
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: not use, you know, pick up his fifth year option,

360
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: traded him to New England for a first round pick,

361
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: so that wasn't a whiff. But for the most part,

362
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: those are outlier situations. Most of them are Solomon Thomas

363
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: Mr tru A s Key. Leonard Fournett is a weird

364
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: case because Leonard Fournette, if you look at his stats

365
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: last year at over seventy catches, he ran for over

366
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: a thousand yards. To me from what I've heard, attitude,

367
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: character not great, not like a bad guy. He's not

368
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: getting arrested or anything. Just not the ideal guy you

369
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: want in your locker room, does not have a good

370
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: reputation right now in the NFL at all, but he

371
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: his talent is deserving of a fifth year option. Though

372
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: looking back, disastrous pick because if you are going to

373
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: take a running back in the top five, they passed

374
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: on Christian McCaffrey for Leonard Fournette. Christian McCaffrey now, per

375
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: year wise, is the highest paid running back in NFL

376
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: history and a star. But I think what makes the

377
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen draft such a head scratcher is

378
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: when I look back to the fifteen draft, the fourteen draft,

379
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: the sixteen draft. Most of the time, a large percentage

380
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: of the players not getting their fifth year options picked

381
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: up are passed about pick sixteen and are in the twenties.

382
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: In the twenties, it's like over fifty of the players

383
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: are gonna get their fifth year option picked up. In

384
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: this draft. Five of the top nine players Trubisky, Solomon Thomas, Leonard,

385
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: four Nette, Corey Davis, and John Ross. Five players in

386
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: the top nine no fifth options. It's pretty nuts. And

387
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: think about three players in the top twelve or really

388
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: four Miles Garrett, you know, I know he swung a

389
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: helmet at at Mason Rudolph, big time talent, Christian McCaffrey

390
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: on pace to be one of the great versatile running

391
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: backs we've ever seen, Mahomes borderline already Hall of Famer,

392
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: and Deshaun Watson well on his way to superstar him.

393
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: So it was just Jamal Adams really really good player.

394
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: It was either you're hitting basically a home run or

395
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: you were striking out. I mean, trading up for Mr

396
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: Bisky is a disaster. Now. Luckily Ryan Pace admitted it.

397
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: And this gets back to remember Ryan Pace was like,

398
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: he's our starting quarterback, elied Mr Bisky. They don't believe

399
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: in Mr Bisky and I not like I asked Matt

400
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: and Aggie told me he did. But I mean, I'm

401
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: not gonna put him in a weird situation that the

402
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: really I don't need his you know, Ryan pays their

403
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: quotes on this. They told me they don't pick up

404
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: the fifth year option. They trade for Nick Foles. It's

405
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: It's what I always say, even with my friends, I

406
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: don't I don't judge anyone on words. Words are meaningless.

407
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: It's what I say about Twitter. Everyone freaks out about

408
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: tweets tweets? Who cares? Did you on actions? Because your actions?

409
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: You know the forty Niners. John Lynch has been singing

410
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: Solomon Thomas praises for years. He doesn't start. They just

411
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: drafted another defensive tackle in the first round. They didn't

412
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: pick up a fie your option. I know they think

413
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: he stinks. I just watch what they do. I don't

414
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: know if the Jaguars necessarily think Leonard stinks, but they

415
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: don't like him that much. They tried to trade him

416
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 1: and they didn't pick up the figure option. So just

417
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: try to do this in real life, but definitely do

418
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: this in sports. When a manager, when a general manager,

419
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: and whatever sports, they're telling you, like, we really like

420
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: this guy. We think he's just starting pitcher. Why do

421
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: you always bring them out of the bullpen? Well, we're

422
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: just we're just easing them in. Well why have you

423
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: never two years later, why is he still not starting?

424
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: Stop telling me that because you don't believe it. I

425
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: just judge people on what they do. And if you

426
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: just judge people and what they do, you realize how

427
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: hollow words are. What's the saying sticks and sells me

428
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: break my bones. Words will never hurt me honestly, if

429
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: you if you, people take words way too seriously, and

430
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: obviously there aren't words that are very hurtful, and we

431
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: all know the thing to say to someone, a family member,

432
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 1: someone a wife, a brother that can really hurt. I'm

433
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: not saying like all words, but when I'm talking professionally,

434
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: you can blow a lot of smoke up people's ass.

435
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: But if you just look at what they're actually doing,

436
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I don't believe you, because that's not true.

437
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: Uh Andy Dalton to the Cowboys. I'll be honest, I

438
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: didn't see this coming. It was is shocking as a

439
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: backup quarterback edition can be. And there are a lot

440
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: of different elements to this, but I would say you

441
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: could look at it one angle. You always want to

442
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: have a good backup quarterback. And as I talked about

443
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: last week, I said parted the Jalen Hurts draft pick,

444
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: I supported going to pay Marcus Mariota. I I support

445
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: anything with backup quarterbacks because we've seen situations where look

446
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: at the Jets last year, Sam Donald gets mono season over.

447
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: They end up going seven and nine. Can you imagine

448
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: if they just would have had a good backup quarterback

449
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: like Ryan Fitzpatrick. Maybe they're nine and seven. Can you

450
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: imagine last year if the Eagles would have had a

451
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: competent backup quarterback in the playoffs and you could argue

452
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: Josh might have been a backup quarterback. But he's forty,

453
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, he's thirty eight, forty years old, hamstring terrors.

454
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: They got no chance when he got a good backups

455
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: like whatever, Teddy Bridgewater will win some games. Any Dalton's

456
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: proven he could win games. Was he good last year? No?

457
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: He was atrocious. But two years ago Ryan Tannehill was

458
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: a trocious too. Then all of a sudden, Ryan tanney

459
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: Hill led the Titans to the a f C Championship Game.

460
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: And I think the numbers I saw. They guaranteed him

461
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: three million with the opportunity to make seven. What if

462
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: tax doesn't show up? Because what if you're Jerry Jones?

463
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: You got you know what I can't do with the

464
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: straight face. I can't guarantee this guy thirty five million

465
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: dollars a year. I can't do it. Here's my final offer, doc,

466
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: I'll give you a four year deal at per and

467
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: I'll guarantee like ninety million. Take your leave it. What

468
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: if he says no and the one leverage Dock does have, fine,

469
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm not showing up. Okay, we'll just play with Andy Dalton.

470
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: Could the Cowboys make the playoffs with Andy Dalton? I

471
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: don't think it's crazy. He's got Amari Cooper, He's got

472
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. I like Gallops, pretty good player, he's got

473
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: a dominant running back, got a good defense. McCarthy's a

474
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: solid coach. Should be pretty good. The NFC East kind

475
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: of stinks. I mean, the Eagles are solid, the Giants

476
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: are disaster, and the Redskins in year one have a

477
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: long way to go. They got Dwayne asking to starting quarterback,

478
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: so yeah, sure, I mean they could compete to make

479
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs Andy Dalton. And Dalton made playoffs countless times

480
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: his career starting quarterback, and when he had I thought

481
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: one year, trying to think of the year, the year

482
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: he broke his hand, but he was playing. I think

483
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: Jake Gruden was offensive coordinator was awesome. No, it's Hugh Jackson.

484
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: The team was stacked. You giving any Dalton the really

485
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: a good team. He's not one of those guys like

486
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. You can give him an average team and

487
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: expect him to win eleven twelve games. That's not Andy Dalton.

488
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: But if you give him a top six seven roster,

489
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: you make the playoffs when he had good coaches Hugh Jackson,

490
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis, Jacob There fine. When you give you know,

491
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like Andy Dalton, like Derek Carr. You give Derek

492
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: Carr stack team, you'll be okay. You give Derek Carr

493
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: an average team, like Andy Dalton an averason, You're not

494
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: gonna go to the playoffs. You know. You you give

495
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson anything, it doesn't matter. Give him Filet Mignon.

496
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: You'll have dinner. You give him, you know, some just

497
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: some eggs and some ham. He'll whip up a five

498
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: star meal. He'll figure it out. There are only a

499
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: small handful of quarterbacks like that. Most guys are kind

500
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: of like Andy Dalton. Somewhere in the middle. Say this,

501
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's had better moments that Kirk cousins career. Kirk

502
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: Cousins been guaranteed I think for the last like six years,

503
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: forty five million in Washington on those franchise tags. Another

504
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: eighty five do this up top of my head. So

505
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: we're about one thirty and then another six. I mean

506
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: cousins like a hundred eighty million. I've seen Alton play

507
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: better than Kirk Cousins. I have no cousins. This year

508
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: was had moments where he's probably better or as good

509
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: as the best Andy Dalton. But you know, one guy

510
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: has made an eighty million, the other guys made like

511
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: forty if that. I like the move by Dallas and

512
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: I think it puts in some questions like what is

513
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: the deal with Dak? Because Dak clearly as his you know,

514
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: like this line drawn in the sand, there's some number.

515
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: It's like, Dak, I don't know what to tell you,

516
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: Like I no one's crying for you because you think

517
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: you're worth thirty four million dollars. I think if you're

518
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: signed for like twenty six, every been like, okay, that's good.

519
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: And I think Dak is pretty well respecting the football community,

520
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: people think he's good. Is that great? And if signing

521
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: for that much money, we've seen what it look at

522
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: what it did to the Ramps makes you get rid

523
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: of all your good players. So in like a year,

524
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys have to cut a bunch of players,

525
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: am I okay with cutting a bunch of players for

526
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott because you know, when Dak Prescott was really

527
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: valuable when he was cheap. Do you know when he

528
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: stops becoming valuable potentially when he starts getting expensive. I

529
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: think the Dak Prescott thing the more I thought about it,

530
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: and I am not anti Dak, just like I'm not

531
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: anti Jared Goff. I'm anti Jared Goff. At thirty plus

532
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, I wouldn't have any problem with

533
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: Jared Goff making twenty two. I can stomach taking the

534
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: risk on Carson Wentz because I know he can carry

535
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: my franchise. I saw last year Carson Wentz half Philadelphia injured.

536
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: No Biggie, get on my back now. He ended up

537
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: getting hurt. But I don't think anyone with any football

538
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: knowledge would go, yeah, Carson Wentz freaked talent, big big time.

539
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: Is Daker freaked out? No talent? Did? Does Jared Goff

540
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: freaked out? No talent? Did you know that? There's I

541
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: like paying premiums for premium players. That's why I don't

542
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: mind paying Aaron Donald. I don't mind paying Khalil Mack.

543
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: You know, I don't mind paying those type guys in

544
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: their prime George Kittle, Julio Jones. I don't love hell.

545
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: I don't love paying a MARII Cooper million year, right, don't,

546
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: But I don't mind paying Amari Cooper twenty million dollars

547
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: a year for my quarterbacks making ten or hell, like

548
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: Dak last year was making a million. That's the NFL.

549
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: I means the economics play a huge role in If

550
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: you're having a conversation in basketball or football and you're

551
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: not having like, the economics aren't playing a part in, like,

552
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: I mean, a legitimate discussion, like we can't why can't

553
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: we acquire these seventeen players? Well, because there's a salary cap.

554
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: So what you make factors into a conversation. If you

555
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: want to have a fifth grade conversation, yeah, just talk

556
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: about the players like they're all even. But if you

557
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: want to have a grown up conversation, you have to

558
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: factor in how much money they make, how much money

559
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: you are going to guarantee him, who else on your

560
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: team you're paying. So these are real grown up conversations.

561
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: And anyone playing fantasy football should know this, right, if

562
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: you play an auction draft, you don't get unlimited amounts

563
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: of money. This is not baseball. You can't be be

564
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: the Yankees and just buy who whoever you want. It

565
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. You know, that's not the way

566
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: the sport works. So what he makes that's part of

567
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: the conversation. And I also love why are you counting

568
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: his pennies? Worry about your own bank account because again

569
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about quarterback whose contract will impact how you

570
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: build the team. So if you want to have a

571
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: little conference, the little kid conversation, go talk about stop

572
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: counting their pennies and just talk about the player, because

573
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: that's what the seventh graders do. If you want to

574
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: come with the grown ups, you know, it's like a bar,

575
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: you gotta be twenty one enter this conversation, or a mature,

576
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: younger person who can have a real conversation about professional sports.

577
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: The Colts did a draft show, and they've done this

578
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: the last two years, you know, where they give you

579
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: intimate video of their scouts talking, interacting, Frank Wright talking

580
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,959
Speaker 1: with Chris Bowl or Jim ur Say. It's fantastic. I

581
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: can't recommend it enough. I tipped my hat to the

582
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: Colts for doing it. It's if I was a Colts

583
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: fan and I'd be like you know what, this is

584
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: freaking cool. Gives me an inside look at my GM,

585
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: my head coach, the staffs, what they think of players. Now,

586
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't get too negative, so it's not totally real.

587
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's fair to have your West

588
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: Coast scout or your pro player personnel guy just shipping

589
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: on draft picks that you don't pick or you don't want,

590
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: Like that's just not realistic. But the guys that you

591
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: actually picked, it's cool to see what they thought of him,

592
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: and the talk about Michael Pittman and how much the

593
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: head coach love Michael Pittman, and how he grew on Ballard,

594
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: how the West Coast scout had been to USC countless times,

595
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: saw him never lost a rep, how he only improved,

596
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: how he was good on special teams, the stuff on

597
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor was fantastic, how good he would translate to

598
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: the scheme, how much everyone just loved the guy, the character.

599
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: And then Chris Ballard made up a great point about

600
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: his play speed on the turf. You know, he ran

601
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: a four four one at the Combine, which is in Indie.

602
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: He had the big run against Ohio State in the

603
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: Big Ten Championship, it's just really awesome. I can't just

604
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: go to their Twitter account or go to the website,

605
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: I your YouTube page. I can't recommend it enough. And

606
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: I know we got a lot of draft nerds. It's uh,

607
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: you don't even need to be a Cults fan. It's

608
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: just a it's it's a cool inside look. Okay, let's

609
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: dive into the Middlecoff mail bag. Add John Middlecoff my Instagram.

00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: So where my d ms wide open? Baby, slide right

611
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 1: in them. Get your get your question read right like

612
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: this guy? Hey, John, what are your thoughts on Jared

613
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: sent him? I read that some people believe he would

614
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 1: have been a top five quarterback in this draft, and

615
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: that is why Belichick chose him over any quarterback in

616
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: the draft. Could that be legit? Or you think the

617
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: Pats are just eyeing Lawrence or field Fields next year?

618
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: I think it'd be difficult to say that the Patriots,

619
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: given how elite their coaches, given how good their defense

620
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: still is, and given how good Josh McDaniels is, did

621
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 1: they end up in the Fields or Lawrence sweepstakes at

622
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: least in terms of draft position? Now? Could they mortgage

623
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: a lot and get there? I think that's potentially possible.

624
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: But Jared Stidham kind of had a crazy career. Starts

625
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: out of Baylor Art Briles, everything falls apart. Actually has

626
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: a really good freshman year, plays in ten games, throws

627
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: for almost twelve touchdowns, kind of in limited action. Then

628
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: he goes to Auburn, which I don't know if it

629
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: was an ideal fit for him though being a spread

630
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: quarterback and made sense. I mean, Auburn is a really

631
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: good program. Sophomore in junior year, he's basically six throws

632
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: for thirty six touchdowns and eleven picks at Auburn. But

633
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: when you talk to people in the league, people thought

634
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: he had a big arm. He's big and athletic, Like

635
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: he's six three plus. He has an above average NFL

636
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: arm in terms of arm strength, so there's a lot

637
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: to work with and he could move. Like with Tom Brady,

638
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: they were just plays you couldn't do. Now, the flip

639
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: side of that is you still have Tom Brady, so

640
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: you can do a lot of things that work. I'm

641
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: not trying to act in any by any means. It's

642
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: like it's a good thing to go from Brady to Stidham,

643
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: but I do think they there's a lot there that

644
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: they want to work with. The last two quarterbacks they've

645
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: drafted one, Jimmy Garoppolo turned out to be pretty good.

646
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette had some moments, not quite as good as Jimmy,

647
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: but also could be functional. Like they've they've showed the

648
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: last you know, five six years, they're pretty good at

649
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: drafting the right guys. So that being said, you know,

650
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: I think he could be an interesting player. Now, is

651
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: he gonna be some pro bowler? Probably not, But I

652
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: just I feel I'm hesitant to make any bold statement

653
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to Belichick, and as long as Josh

654
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: is they're working with them, I think they got a

655
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: pretty good infrastructure to put him in position to succeed.

656
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm a big Kansas City fan. I'm curious what your

657
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: opinion on the Homes and the Chiefs making Kansas City

658
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: a more exciting city to the rest of the country.

659
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: Watching the MJ documentary and his effect on Chicago, I'm

660
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: curious you think Mahomes has that kind of star power

661
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: to attract more influential people in businesses of the city.

662
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm not from or living Casey, but I have visited

663
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: several times. Instead still growing Brett what if this is

664
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,239
Speaker 1: Brett Beach. Probably not, Actually no it's not. But I

665
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: think he could have a huge impact on it now.

666
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: I think when you compare the two, Jordan's still got

667
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: drafted to Chicago, you know, a top four or five

668
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: city population wise in America. Now, the basketball team had

669
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: been a disaster, so he, you know, changed that. Did

670
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: he change Chicago that much? I mean, the Bears were

671
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: a powerhouse in the mid eighties, they won a Super Bowl.

672
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: The Cubs, while they were the lovable losers, were a

673
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: big time franchise, had their own network dedicated to plan

674
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: all their games. Did Jordan help on I think Jordan

675
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: did more for basketball than he didn't necessarily for the

676
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: city of Chicago. Like the city, Chicago has thrived, whether

677
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: the teams are good or bad. Now it helps. And

678
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: I think Mahomes will have a huge impact. But the

679
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs have been pretty good, like I mean under Andy

680
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: Reid the first six years they were making the playoffs

681
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: every year. So influential businesses maybe people sponsor Mahomes. I

682
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna move their headquarters there. If

683
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: that's what you're asking, that's a that's a good question.

684
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: I never really thought of it like that. He can't hurt.

685
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: He can't hurt. But I is he gonna change the

686
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: economic landscape of Kansas City, Missouri? I would lean no, though.

687
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: Everyone you talk to that goes to the power in

688
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: Light district loves it like it's it's a cool place,

689
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: like I think most people with knowledge of the working region,

690
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: I know people that live there obviously love it. Downtown

691
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: is cool. Lawrence, Kansas isn't that far away. Overland Park

692
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: in the suburb area is really nice. It's kind of

693
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: a gem of a sit. Food is great, people are nice, affordable.

694
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: What's your post draft evaluation of the Chargers. Many have

695
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: them ranked in the lower third of the league, but

696
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: I think they're stacked roster will prove many people wrong.

697
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: What's your take, Well, let me just give a little

698
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: thumbs up there. Let pull up their draft. As I

699
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: said over and over, I love their first two picks.

700
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: I am not an anti Uh it's crazy. I've already

701
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: forgot the guy's name, Justin Herbert. I think to getting

702
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert with the six overall pick given their team,

703
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: given how talented he is, is a great draft selection.

704
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: I think an even better draft selection is getting Kenneth

705
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: Murray at the end of the first round. I think

706
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray is going to be a stud in the NFL.

707
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: I will be floored. If you gave me like five

708
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: guys that will not bust in the first round, he

709
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: would be in my five. Kenneth Murray is gonna play

710
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: in this modern day NFL and be a really, really

711
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: good player. So I love their first two picks because

712
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: I got their future quarterback, who even if he's just solid,

713
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: if he's like josh Allen, the roster is so good,

714
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. And Kenneth Murray you get an immediate

715
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: plug and play starter to go with Derwin, James and Bosa.

716
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: So you have a laite player on every level of

717
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: your defense. And their corner is already good. The King

718
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: kid from Iowa. They got Hayward, who's still good, like

719
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: they're just talented. Joshua Kelly, you know he's solid. Uh

720
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: UC Davis transfer. They went to u C. L A

721
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: for Chip. I don't know anything about their fifth or

722
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: sixth round picks, but they're not gonna depend on those guys.

723
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 1: To me, if they can just block for Herbert, they'll

724
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: be in good shape. What are your thoughts on the

725
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: Pats what they did in the first two rounds? Get

726
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: this nice little draft tracker up from NFL dot com.

727
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: So let's bring up the New England Patriots. Uh. Well,

728
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: their first pick is from a school that I like myself.

729
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: I think most of you would agree. I've never heard

730
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: of Lenora Rhyan. I don't even know what that means.

731
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: Josh Oush, I don't even know if I'm saying his

732
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: name right from Michigan. I'll be honest. I don't know

733
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: much about a lot of their picks. Anthony Jettings, the

734
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: edge rush from Alabama Devon Aside, the tight end from

735
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: u c L a interesting prospect tight end for Virginia Tech.

736
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: So in their first they had five picks in the

737
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: top one hundred, they took two tight ends. They took

738
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: an edge rusher to take a linebacker in the safety.

739
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: So they think their defense is getting old and they

740
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: obviously need tight ends. Then they took a kicker in

741
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: the fifth round. You know, I I think the Patriots

742
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: their defense is already gonna be good now they got depth.

743
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna come down. Is still him just

744
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: a middle of the road starter. They could win eight games.

745
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: If he's terrible, they might be kind of screwed. What

746
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: do you think of the Giants draft and off season? Okay,

747
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: let's pull up the Giants draft. I love this little

748
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: draft uh ticker here on NFL dot com Andrew Thomas.

749
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: I think most people in the league dott he was

750
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: the best the tackle prospect. Good pick. Davier McKenney early pick,

751
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: second round. Love it. They need a safety. He has

752
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: some range coming from Alabama, smart plug and play player.

753
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: They went tackle in the third round. Kid from Connecticut.

754
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: Don't know anything about darn A Holmes, the corner from

755
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: u C. L A. He's really interesting. He's a long guy,

756
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: still pretty raw. What is he actually? A little shorter?

757
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: Five ten? When do you run for for eight? Can

758
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: run a little? Don't don't hate the pick. I've been

759
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: hearing about his name. Who else did they signed? Brad Berry?

760
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: Don't love paying at free agent that much, but Gettleman

761
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: knows him. I don't think they would have signed him

762
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: if Joe Judge didn't like him. So yeah, I think

763
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: the Giants, if they can protect Daniel Jones, you still

764
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: got se Kwan Barkley. You got Evan Ingram, you got

765
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: golden tatee, you got a new offensive line. You know

766
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't hate it. Okay, big time Jets fan writing

767
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: you from Singapore. I'm an American from Jersey, moved out

768
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: here years ago. Okay, my question is this? Okay? Long

769
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: one one second, talked a lot today, voices going. It

770
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: seems like the Jets finally got their hands on a

771
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: GM worth his salt. The moves he's made since picking

772
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: up mcagnets two thousand nineteen, panic signings, Bell Moseley and

773
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: the shitty draft Jackson Polite must have been relatively smooth.

774
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: The free agent approach has been this is good, this

775
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: is a good, question has been commendable in the draft

776
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: looks pretty solid. Don't think anyone expects superstars here, but

777
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: solid foundation building and contributors and some backs. The reality

778
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: is it's a long question. Well, the Jets have enough

779
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: time to let this guy right the ship before we

780
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: reenter are never ending cycle, strip it down and rebuild again.

781
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: Management has to be uptight about a decade of no playoffs.

782
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: Sam only has two more years on his reasonable salary.

783
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: Who knows if gays is any good? His only endorsement

784
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: has been paytent and our only premium player. Jamal is

785
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: likely had patience and scheming his exit. I need to

786
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: see this team becomes something consistent and half decent for once.

787
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: Stay safe, my man. So basically just given us wasn't

788
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: even question just his thoughts. Here's the thing with the Jets.

789
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: They have a young quarterback who is really really talented.

790
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: Levian Belt is a really good player. Jamal Adams is

791
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: a really good player. They've added just some core people.

792
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: They got a bunch of the random offensive line free

793
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: agent signings. They drafted what should be their starting left

794
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: tackle for the next decade in the first round. They

795
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: added a wide receiver early in the draft. Sam should

796
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: just be an as sending player who is really good.

797
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: They went seven and nine last year. If Adam Gaze

798
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: is who Peyton Manning's always told us he is, they

799
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: should compete for the playoffs, because that's what the Bills did.

800
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: Kind of immediately, now, mcagnal was terrible. People I knew

801
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL laughed at him. Some of the stories

802
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: I've heard about him just sitting in his dark office

803
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: by himself is pretty embarrassing. He kind of did Todd

804
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: Bowle's dirty I think mccagnant stinks. Just shows you in

805
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: the NFL and having been there, you think it's the

806
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: highest level. And I was lucky. I got to work

807
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: around a lot of high level people. But when I

808
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: was on the road, I heard so many stories about

809
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: other organizations. It's just it's just like any business, right.

810
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: People that have no business getting a general manager job

811
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: or have no business getting a manager job in a

812
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: in a corporation get one because they have the right

813
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: people singing their praise is And I think Joe Douglas,

814
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people in Philly that work

815
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: form loved him. He's good. Now the problem is this

816
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: is not baseball or basketball. The gm W and they

817
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: control so much. Lots on his head coach. He didn't

818
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: hire the head coach. Now he knows the head coach

819
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: and he seems like the head coach. But what if

820
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 1: they go six and ten next year? Does he fire

821
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze? Does he have the juice to do that?

822
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm a Raider fan and have a question.

823
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: Given the Packers taken love, I'd imagine there has to

824
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: be a plan to get him in by year three

825
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: or four. Given Rogers contract, and the Packers have it

826
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: out by two thou two or they trade him. Could

827
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: you see the Raiders making a push for him? Car

828
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: probably isn't the guy, and we have Mariota for a year.

829
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: Or do we shoot for two thous draft or get

830
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: a replacement? Your thoughts. I think the hypotheticals on Aaron

831
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: Rodgers are just so far in the future it's hard

832
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: to even tell because he's still Aaron freaking Rodgers and

833
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: they owe him so much money and they can't get

834
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: rid of him. What if Aaron Rodgers went to Super

835
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: Bowl in the next couple of years, they ain't cutting him,

836
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: And if he sucks, is anyone gonna want to trade

837
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: for him with a huge salary? Even Gruten Probably not.

838
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: So there's not much middle ground. Now. The middle ground

839
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: would be he's solid, they're making the playoffs, but they're

840
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: like first round exits and they think Jordan's love looks

841
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 1: unreal and practice and they are willing to trade Aaron

842
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers in two years. What if the Raiders draft a

843
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: quarterback next year or they signed a trade for a

844
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: guy in two years, Like, there's just we're just so

845
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: far away from him becoming available that it's just it's

846
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: and don't get me wrong, I'm not anti hypotheticals, it's

847
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: just so much unknown. We're not even like at least

848
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: this year when Brady was gonna be a free agent,

849
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: we're like, well, seeing with the Chargers scene with the Raiders,

850
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: Tampa started sniffing around about the Niners, like you can

851
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: start adding it up in about October. This one, we're

852
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,959
Speaker 1: two years away from even what if Rogers still good?

853
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: What if they're winning? It's there's just there's so much

854
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: gray area in the hypotheticals with Rogers. I saw maybe

855
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: co did this, but I saw it a lot on

856
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: social media, like what if Rogers goes to the Niners. Well,

857
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that the that the Packers don't

858
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: like Rogers. He's not a great scheme fit. He doesn't

859
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: like turning his back to the defense. He likes more

860
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: of a spread offense where he's in control. Part of

861
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: the Shanahan offenses hand the ball off a lot and

862
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: the coach is in full control of the play. Gollie,

863
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: why why would Coyle Shanahan want him part of that?

864
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: The great part about the the Kyle Shanahan, what's really

865
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 1: Mike Shannahan's offense, the Kubiak offense, to the floor offense,

866
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: the McVeigh. You don't hype that you don't need John

867
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: Elway and they they want when John Elway was the

868
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: end of his career. You don't need a forty million

869
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: dollar quarterback. You don't necessarily meet Mahomes. You can win

870
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo. You can win. I don't you know

871
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 1: in theory, but Kirk Cousins. Look, they ran that scheme

872
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: in Minnesota this year. I won a playoff game. That's

873
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: to me the most powerful. It's the scheme is a

874
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: very quarterback friendly. Matt Ryan best year of his career.

875
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: Matt job was making the playoffs all the time. Scheme works.

876
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: You don't need to meet a guy like Rogers. He

877
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: just it's better for him just to control it. How

878
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: do you get all college football film? I don't. I

879
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: just watch YouTube on guys, or I watch them on television.

880
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: But I'm not even I'm not doing like Mike Mayock,

881
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah Liss. I know like Mayok and DJ have

882
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: Lewis Ridicu or the guy's ESPN. They have access to it.

883
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: Now I can get access to certain conferences, but it's

884
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: much more difficult. It's why you got to give the

885
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: NFL some credit, right They they put all their All

886
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 1: twenty two out. That's why you can't evaluate the defensive backs,

887
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: the safeties, the wide receivers. If you don't have the

888
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: All twenty two. You can watch a highlight tape, but

889
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 1: everyone can look pretty good in highlight tape. My question

890
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: is about the recent Dallas Cowboys quarterback situation. Deck is

891
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: been great with so much talent around him, but do

892
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: you think Andy Dalton and an experienced quarterback and probably

893
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: a better pastor could be the answer for a loaded

894
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys team? Yeah? I mean that's kind of what I

895
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: was saying earlier. What would you rather have about Andy

896
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: Dalton for three million? Or would you rather have Dak

897
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: Prescott for thirty five? No, Dak Prescott's a better player

898
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: than Andy Dalton, But couldn't the Cowboys wouldn't Andy Dalton

899
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: and Mike McCarthy and all their offenses. Their defense is solid. Now,

900
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: one thing I don't love about the Cowboys, and I

901
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: get it, McCarthy loves Mike Nolan. Mike Nolan made McCarthy

902
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator, which led to him becoming the Packers

903
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: head coach. I could not hire Mike Nolan to be

904
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: my defensive coordinator. Couldn't. As as Mike Singletary would say,

905
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: can't do it, I can't win with him. I don't

906
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: love that higher at all. There's a question for the

907
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: podcast show. Why do you think that everyone has the

908
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: Jags of the pick number one in their way too

909
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: early mock drafts when they have a coach and GM

910
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,439
Speaker 1: who are literally fighting for their jobs this season. Ps,

911
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have never had the number one overall pick.

912
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: Kind of a crazy stat given how often they drafted

913
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: high in the draft. You know, I think it's just

914
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 1: the easy, crappy team you know who are the no brainer?

915
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: That team sucks right now? I think the Jags. No

916
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC West, no teams in the a

917
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: f C West, uh, no teams in the the NFC North,

918
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean the Lions. But even the Lions stuff Stafford

919
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: like they could win five or six games the a

920
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: f C North. The Bengals could suck, But what if

921
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: Burrows like Rookie of the year, maybe they could win

922
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: four or five games. I think I saw a stat

923
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: they were in like twelve one score games where they

924
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 1: had the lead in the second half for some crazy stats.

925
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: So maybe they weren't quite as bad as we thought,

926
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: even though in my limited viewing when I watched the Bengals,

927
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: they always look terrible. So I'd say the Bengals would

928
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: be in the mix. I'd say the Jags would be

929
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: in the mix. I'd say the Lions would be in

930
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: the mix. The Dolphins could still stink. They gotta waste

931
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: to go, but they're they've gotten a lot better this offseason. Yeah,

932
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I don't think there are

933
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: that many teams where you go, oh, that team is terrible,

934
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: you know. And the reality is in the NFL is

935
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: this is not basketball like in the NBA. You know

936
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: exactly who's gonna suck. Oh yeah, that's the team sucks.

937
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna be in the lottery. You can list about

938
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: seven of the you know, twelve thirteen lottery teams in

939
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's like whoa, you get some curveballs fast.

940
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: The Jets could suck, but they just want seven and nine.

941
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 1: Why couldn't they go eight and Nate? Maybe there aren't

942
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: as many teams this year winning like thirteen, fourteen, games

943
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: given the up, maybe there's just a lot of like

944
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: ten eleven win teams. If that's the case, maybe there

945
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: are a lot of five and six win teams. So

946
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: maybe the number one overall pick next year wins four games.

947
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just spitball and I don't know, but

948
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 1: I'd say everything's on the table right now. Appreciate everyone listening. Again,
