00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: Three Now podcasts, a little Weekend Middlecoff mail back pretty

13
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: easy to get in the show at John Middlecoff is

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: the Instagram fire in those d M s and yeah,

15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: shoot me a question. Have a lot of d M

16
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: is probably backlogged, so if some of you people over

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: the weeks, maybe even a month a little behind. Uh.

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: The way it works is like if you've already sent

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: me one, it stays in just the normal d M folder,

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: and when a lot of you guys d M me

21
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: for the first time, it's basically in the separate folder,

22
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: which is really easy to find an answer, and that's

23
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: usually where I answer the question. So a lot of

24
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: you guys are repeat questions. Sometimes I get to you manually.

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: I mean I usually have I just have it in

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: a long time, so I I gotta get on the

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: ball here. But it's it's just really easy for me

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: to answer questions for first time people because it goes

29
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: in this like new folder essentially on the app. So

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff Instagram, fire in those d ms. Hopefully

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: everyone's having a good weekend um before we get in.

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Its just it really only is wild how terrible this

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: offseason and not even this offseason really the last couple

34
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: of weeks has been for the Arizona Cardinals. Everything that

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: happened to Kyler Murray was you know, just you know

36
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: what show it was. It was embarrassing that there's no

37
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: way around it now. It was self inflicted that they

38
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: put that clause in the contract about studying and then

39
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: Kyler fighting back and then throwing away whatever. I mean

40
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: that was listen to any of us with a brain

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: already kind of had that situation red flag of the

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: contract before it was signed. Right the way he was

43
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: demanded a contract or a trade or whatever that happens.

44
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: You know at the at the end of the day,

45
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: like that, he's not the first and he won't be

46
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: the last. But then this weekend, I guess it started

47
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and then Friday, Hollywood Brown gets arrested for

48
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: going a hundred twenty six miles an hour. I would

49
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: guess on the way to the facility arrested. You go, well,

50
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: that's not ideal, but it looks like he was sober

51
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: or whatever. Haul and asked, maybe he's in I'm sure

52
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: in a new sweet car. You get these new cars.

53
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: I was just my mom as a new like Lexus suv,

54
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: drove it up to Tahoe a couple weeks ago because

55
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: I had to get my Tahoe fixed, and you can

56
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: just go. You know, I was going ninety at one

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: point time and it did not feel that way. So

58
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine the sports cars. I'm not defending

59
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: the guy, but because a hundred twenty six like some

60
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: of these cars, I guess my point is, brand new

61
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: sweet sports cars you can go a hundred without even

62
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: quiet realized hun not, I do not ideal. Then the

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: running back coach is involved, well, not actually involved, because

64
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: it happened months ago in a domestic assault at a

65
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Costco in front of a kid, and he had to

66
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: wear a GPS monitor for a while. But this happened

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: again back in May, and it breaks. He gets arrested.

68
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: I guess. I don't know if he out arrested just

69
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: the other day, because I think that happened a while back.

70
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: It's hard to find, uh, follow the timeline. But he's

71
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: now an adminute straight of leaf. The running back coach.

72
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: So you had the quarterback issue, you had the star

73
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: star might be strong, but I mean they tried a

74
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: first round pick for him. You know, one of their

75
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: better wide receivers clearly gets arrested on the way to practice,

76
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: and then they're running back coach gets put on administrative

77
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: leaf for domestic assault and as talking to someone in

78
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 1: the NFL. If you read like the Floorio blog post

79
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: on it, it didn't say like his wife, his girlfriend

80
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: just said in a Costco. So this situation man, drip drip, drip,

81
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: drip drip. If Belichick, Andy Reid, Pete Carroll, maybe maybe

82
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: some of the big boys could overcome some of this craziness.

83
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury that franchis Come on, now, come on, I

84
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be tough sledding. It's if it

85
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: was just the Kyler thing. I was hesitant to say, like,

86
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I just think they're gonna suck because they

87
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: have too much talent. We saw how you know, they

88
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: just have some dudes. But it's getting to the point

89
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: now where I don't know, man, it's really really weird.

90
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: Let's dive into the Middlecoff mail back at John Middlecoff Will, Hey, John,

91
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: curious what your age and regional listener breakdown looks like.

92
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: Does it influence the topics you choose? Uh? You know,

93
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: I think our demo tends to be men about ninety

94
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: five percent mail, And you know we we have a

95
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: younger demo. Obviously we have older people that listen. But

96
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: it does not influence my topics at all. My my

97
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: topics aren't really influenced by anything. I just talk about

98
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: what's topical. Now. I'm not gonna dive in to the jags.

99
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not doing breakdowns of the Houston Texans.

100
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: But I don't force feed the Dallas Cowboys. Uh. And

101
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: you could argue, is that a bad business strategy. I

102
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: I just talk about what I care about. So when

103
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: I see a story or I see an angle that

104
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: fires me up or I think is interesting, I talked

105
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: about it. It's just not that complicated. I'm not basing

106
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: this on. You know, we have the majority of people

107
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: live in New York and Dallas. We gotta talking about

108
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Jets and the Cowboys. I just

109
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: talked about football, whether it's college obviously, it's a lot

110
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: of pro and things that interest me. That that is

111
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: my philosophical belief I and I believe, you know Draymond

112
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: talks about new media. To me, new media is just

113
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm very authentic that there's no fraudulent here. I just

114
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: say what I believe. I'm not doing this for ratings.

115
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm doing this for money. This is

116
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: how I feed my unborn children. But I don't think

117
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: about it like that. And you could say, maybe I'm

118
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: leaving a little cash on the table, but it's working

119
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: so far. So I mean, honest to god, question males

120
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty years old and uh and forty and

121
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: I just talked about what fires me up. It's really

122
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: that simple. Now, I I'm tending to play the hits

123
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: in terms of, like I'm talking about the best teams,

124
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: the most important teams, and the biggest players. One one

125
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: philosophy I have is I tend to lean coaches quarterbacks.

126
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: I start from there like that. That is one mindset

127
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: coaches quarterbacks, franchises coaches quarterbacks. Like I'm not diving into

128
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: the you know, right side of the offensive line situation

129
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Colts, and I know they don't have one,

130
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, Yeah, I'm I tend

131
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: to play the hits because that's what fires me up

132
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: on like that. I'm a fan of that. Like I

133
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: like talking about the main stories. Now obviously if something

134
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: happens with a hold out and defensive end or a

135
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 1: wide receiver, for sure. But my philosophical belief is coaches

136
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and then franchise drama this but that's what I like,

137
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: and and and then business stuff in terms of like

138
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, the contracts stuff. So yeah, long winded way

139
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: to say. Not much. New England media is talking about

140
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: how much difficulty the offense is having uh instituting a

141
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: Shanahan type offense after years of running the Earnhardt Perkins system.

142
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: My question is how long does it take other teams

143
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: to adapt to a new offensive scheme in camp, particularly

144
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: the Shanahan system in zone? Is zone blocking harder for

145
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: a lineman after running a gap approach? Thanks for any insight,

146
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: Uh well, I would imagine over the years, the Patriots,

147
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: while they ran like power and pulled the guard and

148
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: let up with a fullback, also ran some zone blocking schemes. Now,

149
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: I haven't followed the Patriots that closely during camp. Are

150
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: you telling me they're strictly running zone runs right now

151
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: that they no longer run you know, power in just

152
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: in terms of like slam the fullback up the middle,

153
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: pull the guard up the hole. I mean, if they're not,

154
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: I guess maybe they're just playing to their personnel. But

155
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: for the most part, I would imagine if you just

156
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: went around the league, even Kyle Shanahan, well he's probably

157
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: strictly his own but can do multiple things. I think

158
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: most of these offenses now are a little bit of

159
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: hybrid in terms of their run blocking schemes. Um Now,

160
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: part of it is obviously losing you know, their legendary

161
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: offensive line coach. But I would say, if you're just

162
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: running Shanahan's playbook, which I'm not saying they are, but

163
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: let's just hypothetically say Bill Belichick wanted to install the

164
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: Shanahan playbook. It would take some time, yes, and I

165
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: would say this Matt Patricia would not be the guy

166
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: to do it, but I think as long as Bill

167
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: Belichick's around that they'll figure something out. D ming you

168
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: from my girls account. I been listening to your podcast

169
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: since the first episode. Really enjoy it, not only your

170
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: sports takes, but business and investing. I haven't heard you

171
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: mentioned crypto. You should strongly consider at least the dot

172
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: e domain of your name, and probably your podcast. It's

173
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: the next dot com. But for web three, what are

174
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: your takes on the crypto market in general? Keep up

175
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: the great work. I love the crypto market. UM owned

176
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: probably close to six figures in uh in Cardono uh

177
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: I hesitated and I regretted a little bit when E

178
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: was about a thousand dollars, probably within the last couple

179
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: of months. Hell, I was just gonna buy like ten

180
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: dollars worth it. I mean, it's up se I mean

181
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: last night looked I think it was uh so. I

182
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: followed Cardono and Eth pretty closely. I don't. I mean Bitcoin,

183
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: I guess I follow indirectly just because it's kind of

184
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: the lead dogg in it. But I mean total believer,

185
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: unfazed by, you know, kind of the ups and downs,

186
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: especially the downs of the last whatever six months. I

187
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: love downs. That's what I look at sales. Uh. Now,

188
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't claim to be some minor for crypto. I

189
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: don't necessarily believe like crypto, you know, in the short

190
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: term and let's say short term like half decade, is

191
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: going to change the world. But I do think it's

192
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: going to continue to go up over time, and I believe,

193
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, I don't pretend to be able to write

194
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: like uh Harvard level paper on exactly what it is.

195
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I kind of know the

196
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: basics and I believe in the I would say, overall

197
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: premise of what it represents. So I am not some

198
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: old stiff like you can you're a fucking moron if

199
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: you buy crypto. Yeah, I mean a lot of people

200
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: said that about a lot of things that have been

201
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: proven wrong. The other thing, crypto we've seen it got

202
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: as ugly as it could get in the last seven,

203
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, three or four months, and it didn't to me,

204
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: when stuff doesn't go to zero or stuff doesn't disappear

205
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: like it has some staying power and people like me

206
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of you out there that

207
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: are involved in it. Not only was I unfazed when

208
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: things dip, I buy more. I I it never crossed

209
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: my mind to sell my holding. Now part of selling

210
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: my holding, I would have lost a ton of money,

211
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: but I kind of bought it. I bought it and keep.

212
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: You know, I would say, every month or every other month,

213
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: throw a little more in with the mindset of this

214
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: is gonna hit in years, and I don't need the money.

215
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm not looking to like, can I turn fifty grand

216
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: into and then use that to redo my kitchen? Like?

217
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: That's not the way I'm looking at it. Gun to

218
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: your head, would you rather have Matt Patricia or fraud

219
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: Meyer as your head coach? That's Urban Meyer. Also heard

220
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: you're moving to Scottsdale. I'm a student at a s

221
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: U studying sports business and work at McCormick Ranch Golf

222
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: Club in Scottsdale. I got you around any time we can, Uh, Thanks, Bro,

223
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I as crazy as it sounds. Obviously,

224
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: if you're coaching college. You would take Urban if you're

225
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: coaching the NFL, Like if you need a coach in

226
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: the National Foot Paul League, under no circumstances, there's no

227
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: other option that I would choose urban Meyer. He would

228
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: be of all the coaches, Freddie Kitchens, Jim Tom Sula,

229
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, think about that. Did not make it through

230
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: the season, not not He was a one and done,

231
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: right like Tom Seula, like Freddie, like Steve Wilkes. Not

232
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: a one and done. He did not make it through

233
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: the season. Think about that. And he wasn't coaching the

234
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: the Giants or the Cowboys or the forty niners where

235
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: the you know, the pressure, huge ratings, everyone paying attention,

236
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: massive coaching the Jacks. Didn't make it through the season.

237
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: So this is gonna sound crazy, but I would take

238
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: Patricia over urban Meyer if I had to pick an

239
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: NFL head coach, If those were my two choices. That's

240
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: crazy to say, But I just did. You cannot You

241
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: just couldn't. I mean, you couldn't do it. He didn't

242
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: make it through the season. How many coaches, Off top

243
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: of my head, is that unprecedented? At least the last

244
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: couple of decades, A guy doesn't make it through the season.

245
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: That's wild, and honestly, it wasn't even that weird. Why

246
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: do you and Coward care so much about Aaron Rodgers

247
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: off the field interests Haven when it clearly doesn't affect

248
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: his play on the field. It's fair to criticize his

249
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: lack of recent playoffs success, but if you can't compare

250
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: him to anyone else but Brady, he's wildly successful. I've

251
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: never disputed that, and I don't care what iota. Here's

252
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: you you want a newsflash. Everyone is doing drugs, whether

253
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: it's prescription drugs, whether it's over the counter drugs, whether

254
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: it's drugs you buy from a drug dealer, whether it's

255
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: you know whatever. Everyone is on something for an edge

256
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: in every high level industry, bait, adderall weed, psychedelics, you

257
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: name it, every single person in some caffeine in some

258
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: form or fashion. It doesn't bother me one iota that

259
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: he did psychedelics. I'm pro drug because you know why,

260
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: I don't give a ship what you do. I worry

261
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: about myself, so I it doesn't bother me. I'm not.

262
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't care about a Psychedelics like that does not whatever.

263
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: If you're not doing everything for an edge against your competition,

264
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: You're probably losing. It's really that simple. Now, I do

265
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: think it's fair to judge because here's what we can

266
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: all relate to. We all got parents, we all have

267
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: people that raised us. So and listen, I've seen it firsthand.

268
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: Family drama, people not getting along, brothers and sisters. Not weird,

269
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: totally get it. The parent thing. I'm sorry, a little weird.

270
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to go. Yeah, it's a little weird.

271
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: Do we know all the details? Of course not. Are

272
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: we allowed to go it's a little weird. Are we

273
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: also allowed to go? I'm not mothered by him dating

274
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: the Hollywood actresses like who would whatever? I don't care

275
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: who you date. You date a girl named Blue of Earth,

276
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: we can make fun of you. That's that's fair. That's

277
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: fair game. If I if you listen to my podcast

278
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, check out my girlfriend Blue

279
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: of Earth, and I was constantly instagramming here, most of

280
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: you would think I'm a weird guy. Now that doesn't mean,

281
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Like god, I love his podcast. It's great, you know

282
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: it's it's he's crushing it right. Rogers one of the

283
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks ever. No one's arguing that. No one's saying, like,

284
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, Rogers total scrub. It's just the cleansed thing.

285
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: I fast, But I don't know if I'd go to

286
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: the wilderness and puke and pee and poop all over myself,

287
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, while I hung onto a tree as blue

288
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: of earth, you know, saying running circles around me. A

289
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: little weird. I think it's okay to go a little

290
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: weird about middle Cop, the stigmatization of a cadelic. Yeah,

291
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: he's give me a break, like we can say, Yeah,

292
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a little off. We said the same

293
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: thing about Brady when he did his TV twelve. The

294
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: difference is Brady wins championships and we kind of judge

295
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: you that way. So yeah, it doesn't It Not only

296
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 1: hasn't affected Aaron Rodgers play. He's been incredible. He's one

297
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: of the best players I've ever seen any sport. But

298
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: I think it's some of his off the field just

299
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: a little weird. That's it's allowed to say that Collins

300
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: a little more into it than I am because the

301
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 1: drug thing does not bother me at all. Do whatever

302
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: you gotta do to get right, because guess what, whoever

303
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: you're against whether you're a sales guy, whether you're in computers,

304
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: whether you're in Wall Street is doing something, so you

305
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: better figure it the bleep out. But like, give me

306
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: a break that we can't make fun of him. For

307
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: Daton blew of Earth, I scrolled our Instagram page, like

308
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: we're allowed to We're allowed to judge, like we just

309
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: are and part of it. Honestly, it's kind of funny.

310
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: We're allowed to make fun of a guy. Patrick Mahomes

311
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: gets made fun of for his wife, right, it happens,

312
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, Daton Cougar, Linda. It's part of life. It's

313
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: part of the deal. Like everyone's making fun of Pete

314
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: Davidson and Kim Kardaskian for breaking up. It's not that

315
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: big a deal does actually matter? No, just win a

316
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: playoff game at home. Don't lose to the forty niners

317
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: when they don't score an offensive touchdown. You're the number

318
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: one seed. You had one of the best seasons ever. Like,

319
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: don't lose that game. If you don't lose that game,

320
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: harder to make fun of you. Jimmy Garoppolo took out

321
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: a porn star. Do you know what happened? Everyone made

322
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: fun of him. Does it actually matter? No? And part

323
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: of what Aaron says he's on psychedelics. He doesn't even care.

324
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: So is that part of the psychedelics to to not

325
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 1: worry about what other people think? Here's the thing I

326
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: talk about other people. I guess for a living, and

327
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: what I say doesn't matter. If I was those people,

328
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: especially I guess the negative stuff, I wouldn't care. People

329
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: make fun of you, people talk about you. Who cares?

330
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter? Isn't that the number one thing successful

331
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: people tell you to figure out. I'm sure people make

332
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: fun of me. I don't give a shit. It's fine,

333
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: it's your opinion. Cool, Well, I'm going, you're going whatever?

334
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: Why would Aaron care? New listener to the podcast, as

335
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: referred to by my friend Dylan from Nashville, He said,

336
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: you might know him by the way. I don't know

337
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: if I do. Maybe I do. Anyway, I'm from Hanover,

338
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: p A and lifelong Eagles fan. Curious on your take

339
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: of the A. J. Brown situation. Why was he the

340
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: only one traded out the group seeking big pay days

341
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: this offseason? Is this about a J? Or was this

342
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: about the Titans? Well, the one thing that definitely happened

343
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: to the Titans is Tanny Hill has one of the

344
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: biggest cap hits in the league. They're kind of stuck

345
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: with him for a couple of years. And to me,

346
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: you look at the Eagles rookie quarterback, you look at

347
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: the forty Niners rookie quarterback. I want, I say, rookie

348
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback deals very very cheap. Seattle traded Russell Wilson,

349
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: no quarterback situation right the Derek Carr relative, his cap

350
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: hits not that high. The Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback contract.

351
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: So there there's financial implications here when you're paying these

352
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: guys the rams. They don't follow the salary cap. But

353
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: I I think ultimately, yeah, I don't know, I I U.

354
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: I do wonder if they were nervous about the injuries

355
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: sustaining his level of play. I'm just guessing. I always

356
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: liked the guy, thought he was a monster. But you know,

357
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: they made they made a financial decision. They made a

358
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: Belichickian type move where you take a guy who's really good,

359
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: you're in a little bit of a cap pinch, you

360
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: flip them, but you immediately replace them. That's one thing

361
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: you gotta get the Titans that they've been consistently well

362
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 1: run under John and Vrabel. So when you look at

363
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: their move, like the Packers, they trade Davante and they

364
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: don't get a court, they don't get a wide receiver, right,

365
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: I mean, technically they draft got a guy early in

366
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: the second round, which you know, the people I've talked

367
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: to you think it's a pretty big stretch taking him

368
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: that high. I know he's banged up, but I'm not

369
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: even talking about like him playing a training camper. I'm

370
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: just talking about the value of the player. And you know,

371
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, they take Jordan Love they

372
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: easily could have had They could have traded up and

373
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: got Brandon Aiyuk, but the Titans move him out and

374
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: replace him with the guy that they think can be

375
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: a really good player. Now, time will tell if that's

376
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: the evaluations right, how good Trailing Burks will be. But

377
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't hate moves like that. Remember, I'm not saying

378
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: by any means Trailing Burk's gonna be this good, because

379
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: he probably won't be. I mean, like, no chance. But

380
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings did this once upon a time. They got

381
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: rid of Digs because they were paying that he was

382
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: gonna get paid a lot of money. They were paying

383
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: cousins cash and they use that pick and they get

384
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. I like moves like that. So if I'm

385
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of a guy for financial reasons, but

386
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: I gotta refill his spot and the drafts are risk,

387
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, we're just projecting. No one knows at the

388
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: time they took Justin Jefferson, no one in the league

389
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 1: knew he was going to be this good, because if

390
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: they did, he never would have gone whatever. Howry Roseman

391
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: never would have taken Jalen Rate. No one knows. It's

392
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: so easy to say a year later, how did a

393
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: a J debo and and DK fault? Even though it's

394
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: like even at the times, like that's a little weird,

395
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: especially a J and DK. But yeah, I think financial

396
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: reasons and you know, trying to I don't want to

397
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: say circumvent the cap, but you know, trying to be smart,

398
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, and and sometimes it blows up in your face.

399
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: Question for the mail back, do you think NFL teams

400
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: will ever have corporate sponsors on their game day uniforms?

401
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: European soccer teams, I've been doing this for years as well.

402
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: As NBA teams, seems like an easy cash for teams

403
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: that's being left on the table. I would imagine branding

404
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: on NFL teams uniforms would be primarily the state for

405
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: companies weekly viewership. That's a good question, I I to

406
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: be completely honest, I don't have an answer for you,

407
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: because I'm with you. It would be you know, NFL

408
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: is the most watched television show in America, so it

409
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: would be pretty easy to make money off that. I

410
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: would say, they're already making so much money even though

411
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: no one in any business thinks about it like that,

412
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: like we could always make more. I just wonder if

413
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: you know they don't necessarily need to and you're able

414
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: to kind of keep the uniform pure. Let's face it,

415
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: part of the NBA doing it for a lot of

416
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: these teams, a little bit of desperation need the revenue.

417
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: The NFL doesn't need the revenue, even though you always

418
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: want more revenue. Again, this is just guessing. I don't

419
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: good question. I guess you could. I kind of hope

420
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: they don't, but I don't. At this point in time,

421
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm kind of numb to it all. I don't think.

422
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't think the consumer cares. Remember, it's like, how

423
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: could the Lakers put something on their jersey. I'm not

424
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: even sure if they do, but you know what I mean.

425
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: The Warriors, Yeah, it's like the fans. We adapt, we

426
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: move on, we don't care. Since the Dolphins got punished

427
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: for tampering and they lost two picks, and they lost

428
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: two picks, where or who do they go to? Thanks

429
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: they just disappear. So next year the first round pick,

430
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: Let's say the Dolphins go eight and nine and their

431
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: pick is, let's just fifteen, so there's picks one through

432
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: thirty two, and they have the pick as well, that

433
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: pick just disappears, so pick fifteen just doesn't exist, So

434
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: they're just thirty one picks and then I think that

435
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: they lose it was a second or third rounder. The

436
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: following year pick just disappears. You know that clearly that

437
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: part of the punishment. Like if I'm gonna pun shinn

438
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: owner and I'm gonna take away your first round pick

439
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: and find you a million dollars, Well, if I have

440
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: a franchise worth five six billion dollars and every year

441
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm making five hundred million dollars, a million dollar fine

442
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: is peanuts. But the draft pick one that that asset,

443
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: that currency, whether he uses a trade. I mean, the

444
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins just used the first round pick to get Tyreek Hill.

445
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: So the currency and the asset is a massive, massive

446
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: blow for them. That's a that's a pretty big punishment,

447
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: noo that I think they deserve it. Really enjoy the

448
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: pods they become. Can't miss us someone in England and

449
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: who goes to NFL games in London. I'm desperate for

450
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: us to have a franchise. Do you ever see this

451
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: happening in which franchises would be the most likely candidates.

452
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: I've always said, logistically, I don't know if it's possible.

453
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: One thing, I think the NFL can just keep hammering

454
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: because if I have a if I have a franchise

455
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: in in the UK, if I want to work out

456
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: a guy, which I'm sure if you fault your team whatever,

457
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: whoever your team is, has worked out players during training camp.

458
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: The forty Niners, for example, just worked out like a

459
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: quarterback Willie Sneed. Well, what if Willie Sneed's in Florida,

460
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in Minnesota. You gotta fly them into your facility.

461
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: So if I'm the Jacks, let's say they moved to

462
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: the UK, and it's week three and my running back

463
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: gets hurt, and I want to work out three running

464
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: back because I want to sign one. Well, if two

465
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: of the three running backs are in Los Angeles or

466
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: Sacramento or Vegas, I mean, that's a long long travel

467
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: to get them out there. And if I don't realize

468
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: how bad as injury is till Monday morning, by the

469
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: time I get there, is that guy even gonna be

470
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: out by Tuesday? What's he gonna look like in the workout?

471
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: You could argue they should just keep doing what they're doing.

472
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: Just keep playing the games there, you know, play six

473
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: seven games games. You can just expand and play more

474
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: and more games and do it that way. Play Mexico City. Um,

475
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: that's what it feels like. We're We're headed. I mean,

476
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: not headed, We're already there. Just just curious. What's your

477
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: beef with Washington's new name, the Commanders. I get that

478
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: you thought the Washington football team was cool and unique,

479
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: But is that your entire reasoning for not liking the

480
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: name anything else? Personally? As a military service commander, I

481
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: don't think it's a terrible name. Sure they probably could

482
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: have done better, but I don't think the Commanders is

483
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: that bad at all. I'm a past fan, so it

484
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me. Just thought I dig deeper on

485
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: your opposition. Cool show. Yeah, I mean, I actually don't

486
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: really care. My when I make fun of and I

487
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: say all three names, it's because they've had three names

488
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: in like two years, Redskins football team, Commanders since like

489
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty. You know, it's like the Chicago Bears,

490
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, the San Francisco forty nine, the

491
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. One thing normal franchises don't do. They don't move,

492
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: and they don't change their name. So when you change

493
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: your name all the time, I can make fun of you, like, yeah,

494
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: the Commanders in a hundred years, Like oh, the Washington

495
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: Commanders right now, We just my entire life have called

496
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: them the red Skins my entire life. And then they

497
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: change their name to football team, which again is funny.

498
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: It's like what you're just calling yourself the football team

499
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: and then you pick a name you know a year later,

500
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: So it's part of it is more just like I'm sorry,

501
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: like the Cleveland Indians, the Cleveland Guardians, like you change

502
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: your name, like we're making fun of you. It's back

503
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: to the Rogers thing. You open yourself up to make

504
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: get made fun of. And guess what, sometimes we just

505
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: need to laugh. Sometimes we all need to relax. It's funny.

506
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: It's not that serious. No one actually cares. You know.

507
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: If if Rogers wants to poop on blue of Earth

508
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: as they lay naked in the in the wilderness, they

509
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: they can do that. We also can make fun of them.

510
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: I know you answered this a million times podcast. Microphone

511
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: really quick because Amazon is free shipping for non prime. Yeah,

512
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: I know, I don't have Prime yet. You gotta get Prime.

513
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: Come on, since you are reading this on the air

514
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: as a die hard fan, I just have a normal microphone,

515
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: like one that you would use in a concert. And

516
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: then I used the the auxiliary male and female plugs

517
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 1: that I plug it in the zoom thing that plugs

518
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: into my computer. I do not use a USB mike.

519
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: I I think USB mikes do not sound good. Hey

520
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: bro fan uh be Area FM days had a question

521
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: was Washington was Watson not suspended last year? I never

522
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: gave it much thought then just figured it was him

523
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: playing him wasn't playing because he was suspended? Yeah? I

524
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: mean he was not suspended. Last year, he chose not

525
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: to play. The Texans were cool with it. His salary. Again,

526
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: he was on a big contract, but for whatever reason,

527
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,239
Speaker 1: the yearly compensation was like eleven million dollars. I think

528
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: it was like ten six or ten eight. He just

529
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: got paid, did not play. He got ten million dollars

530
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: or eleven million dollars to just kind of sit at home.

531
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: He did not come to the games. He did not

532
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: travel with the team. I think he showed up for

533
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: some training room and to lift during the season, but

534
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: he did not. He was not suspended. He and the

535
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: team chose very weird, very bizarre. The Watson thing, separate

536
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: from the off the field accusations, has turned onto you know,

537
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: sideshow Bob right now, this thing is it just exhausting.

538
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: He is an exhausting player. The NFL is all are

539
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: about all about r o I. What's your return on investment?

540
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Josh You, Allen Mahomes, Herbert Lamar.

541
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: Good guys who just played football at a high level.

542
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: There are oys very high easy to talk about. Even

543
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: Rogers with the psychedelics. It's just it's very just natural

544
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: conversations Watson's r o I for the NFL is a disaster,

545
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: all negative. I mean, I think Roger could choose, He'd

546
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: press a button and the guy would just disappear. The

547
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: NFL does not need him, and what he brings to

548
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: the table for them is only negativity. And it's not

549
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: even close to going away. Just absolute disaster situation. What's

550
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: your outlook for the Raiders this season? I mean, I

551
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: think they can be pretty good. I think the only

552
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: question mark for them, and we won't really know till

553
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: regular season games, is the offensive line. They have one

554
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: legit offensive lineman, Colton Miller, who they drafted years ago

555
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: in the first round. He's turned out to be a

556
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: very good left tackle, and everyone else is just wait

557
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: and see if they're offensive and if they turn out

558
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: to be solid, be okay. If they don't, it could

559
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: be problems. I work in consultant consulting and do a

560
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: lot of number crunching, also a former football baseball player,

561
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: and was wondering how you do folks do data data

562
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 1: analysts or scouts for professional teams. I assume you'd have

563
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: to know people first, but given the amount of metrics

564
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: and analytics and sports nowadays, I would think it would

565
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: be as hard to break through. I would love to

566
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: hear why. I think a lot of the guys, you know,

567
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: submit projects. What I've heard historically how a lot of

568
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: guys break in. Either they start on the contract side,

569
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: so they're working with numbers and they kind of prove

570
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: their value that way. And while they're working on contracts,

571
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: they do projects for players, you know, like historical breakdowns

572
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: on wide receivers in the third round, stuff like that.

573
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: And then guys that don't break through, that just want

574
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: in on the scouting side, do a bunch of projects

575
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: on their own right evaluate every tight end for the

576
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: last five years do break that. I don't know. I'm

577
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: just throwing stuff out there, and they submit it, like

578
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 1: they mail it to every general manager and every pro

579
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: personnel head and every head coach, and maybe one guy

580
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: reads it and they're interested, and that's how they kind

581
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: of break in. So I I would say, you either

582
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: get in your foot in the door and then you

583
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: do side projects to prove your worth, or you just

584
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: force feed projects to these guys through email, through I

585
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: don't know however you get them to them. There's a will,

586
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: there's a way. You gotta figure it out that that's

587
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: usually how it works. And obviously these guys now are

588
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: littered throughout the NFL in terms of you know, people

589
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: doing that stuff in NFL front offices, big one there.

590
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,680
