00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: I was in Florida right now. I'm in gloomy northern

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: California where it's rained. You know, we we don't get

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,559

Speaker 1: and we got football to talk about a lot of

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: information coming out of the owners meetings today. Uh, some

00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,440

Speaker 1: business going, keeps food on my table, and keeps burritos

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: in my stomach because I just had a a little

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: burrito from this. Uh. Actually it's kind of a chain

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: spot rubios and uh a recommendation. By the time you're

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: listening to this, we have a couple of days of

40
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: aftermath after the Will Smith the famous slap to the

41
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: Dome of Chris Rock his apology, he had one of

42
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: the greatest lines I've ever seen, and we're a very

43
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: male dominated podcast. It's say about mail if you guys

44
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: have girlfriends or you guys have wives. Will Smith had

45
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: a line at the end of his apology the next

46
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: time you get into a fight with your significant other

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: and you're not in good graces, the key line is, honey,

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: I am a work in progress. What can you that.

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: There is no rebuttal to that, because a lot of

50
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: times when we're fighting, you know, we we were stubborn,

51
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: or ego gets involved and we just won't much. It

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: is key, honey, I am a work in progress. That

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: will get you. It won't, it won't work, but it's

54
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: a great line. I mean, it's like it's like talking

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: about a draft prospect, right Like, you know, what about

56
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Reagor you know he's a work in progress? You

57
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: know that's how you just talking about yourself. I am

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: a work in progress. I appreciate the Fresh Prince for

59
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: dropping that line. I Uh, I'm gonna steal that one

60
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna use it the rest of my life

61
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: because no matter where I'm at, whether I'm thirty seven

62
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: or when I'm seventy. I'm gonna tell people I am

63
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: a work in progress. Step into the football well, I

64
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: wanted to start with the guy that goes by the

65
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: name the hoodie Bill. I guess his real name would

66
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: be William Belichick. And Belichick today at the combine, of course,

67
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: avoided the coaches picture, as he does every year. He's

68
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: the only guy that refuses to take the coaches picture.

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I think it's actually like he

70
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: should go. It would be kind of funny, but uh,

71
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: that's you know, rinse wash repeat every year. He is

72
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: not going to be part of that. But he said

73
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: something today that to me was a little enlightening. And

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: we've been talking about him now, I guess for probably

75
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: several weeks because there was a story that he was

76
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: going to become the offensive coordinator, and I'm all for that. Like,

77
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: who doesn't want to see Bill Belichick be the offensive coordinator?

78
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: I think we can all raise our hands like that

79
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: makes the Patriots pretty interesting because without Bill Belichick, let's

80
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: face it, the Patriots would be very very uninteresting. And

81
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: while their quote unquote probably not considered the biggest national

82
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: brand over the last couple of decades, they were easily

83
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: one of the league's biggest cash hews with the combination

84
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: of Bill and of Tom. Now since Bill lost Tom.

85
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: You know, let's face it, if you've ever met an

86
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: older guy who is very, very successful and very very

87
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: rich one they have some things in common. I think

88
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: it's fair to somewhat stereotype them. They can be stubborn.

89
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Why are they stubborn? Well, because when you're sixty seventies,

90
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: seventy five years old and you've had had a lot

91
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: of success, you're probably not changing your ways. That's not

92
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: saying that you're not open to trying new things, clearly

93
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: Bill is, but you have some philosophical beliefs that ain't

94
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: gonna budge, that are not gonna change. And also part

95
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: of Bill, because he's so tied to one person, there

96
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: is this competitive nature. I mean, at the end of

97
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: the day, he's a football coach and Tom is a

98
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: football player. Their job is literally to compete. And now

99
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: they're not just competing against other teams, they are competitive

100
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: against each other. And Bill said something today about not

101
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: having an offensive and defensive coordinator and listen, he said,

102
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm not that big on titles and I think I've

103
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: told this story before, as I live with this guy,

104
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: good friend of mine. Uh, when I moved back to

105
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: do the West Coast in San Francisco, very very successful

106
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: financial advisory that works in hedge funds. Uh. He's like

107
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: a year older than me. He was my cousin's good buddy,

108
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: Ivy league guy, brilliant absolute wheeler and dealer, hustler. And

109
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: I remember he changed jobs when I was living with him,

110
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: and he remember he told me like, I was so

111
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: big on getting the right title on my office, the

112
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: title on my office, and I ended up making less

113
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 1: money because I was so obsessed with the title. Titles

114
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: are pretty irrelevant, right would you rather be called a

115
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: senior vice president and make two d grand or have

116
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: be called an intern and make five thousand dollars? Ultimately,

117
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: titles are somewhat hollow there. There's gotta be substance behind

118
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: the title, and what you make or your responsibilities are

119
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: always the most important, more than just some title on

120
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: a team or a company's website. Who gives a ship now,

121
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: unlike a company? Right, whether you're an intern, a senior

122
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: vice president, how much you're making and what you're actually

123
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: doing is important you do need two people on game

124
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: day to call the offensive plays and to call the

125
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: defensive place Now, one thing I appreciate out Bill. He's

126
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: got a little renegade to him. He's not a big

127
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: rule follower. I never have been either. You know, I

128
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: that there are things I know people get caught up

129
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: and Bill pushing the envelope. I like anyone that pushes

130
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: the envelope. I like that Belichick pisces people off. That

131
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: to me is a very relatable quality for myself in

132
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. I have a lot of admiration for his

133
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: not giving a ship what other people think to him.

134
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: But to me, this feels like a little bit of

135
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: an ego play slash. He doesn't have anybody. And I've

136
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: been saying for a while, like he did an incredible

137
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: job of molding all these people for decades, right, all

138
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: these guys that went on to become gms, all these

139
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: guys that went on to become coaches, Like, eventually you're

140
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: gonna run out, And the number of guys that left

141
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: him is pretty insane. Like, if you went to work

142
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: for Bill Belichick over the last twenty years, more likely

143
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: than not you made a ship. He made probably more

144
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: millionaires as a head coach coach. It would probably come

145
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: down to him er Andy Reid. More millionaires, general managers

146
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: and coaches. That includes assistant coaches that went on to

147
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: b o cs and dcs other places, as well as

148
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: the guys that became o cs and d c's under him.

149
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: They became head coaches than anyone in league history. Now

150
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: we'll see times will change. McVeigh Shanahan. They're they're popping

151
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: guys out at a high rate two as well. But

152
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: I would say right now Belichick and Andy Reid, we're

153
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: just producing those guys at a really high level. Eventually

154
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: you run out because part of like the thing with Bill,

155
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: if you're a young guy, you're like, well, it's really miserable,

156
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: it's really hard, but you're gonna win Super Bowls. That

157
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: was guaranteed. Well the last couple of years. That's not

158
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: guaranteed anymore. Right. It's like, if if I remove Bill

159
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: Belichick from the New England Patriots and let's just take

160
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: it like a solid coach like Ron Rivera, no chance

161
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: on God's green Earth they would make the playoffs this year,

162
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: absolutely zero. Like the only reason that the Patriots made

163
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, and we'll compete to make it

164
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: again this year. Even though the a f C is

165
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: clearly harder is because of Bill Belichick. Their quarterback is

166
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: average of the day as long. They don't have that

167
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: many transcendent players on their team, and they basically just

168
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: run the ball and play defense, right, and you know

169
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: he's the defensive mastermind. But not naming an O C

170
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: and D C to me is a little bit of

171
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: an ego play. It's like, watch what I can do

172
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: because I think here's what he has to know. But

173
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: he'd never admit this, not in a million years. And

174
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm psychoanalyzing a little bit. But he's never gonna win

175
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: another super Bowl. That's never gonna happen. The a f

176
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: C is way too hard, and ultimately his quarterback is

177
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: just not gonna be good enough. That's I don't even

178
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: think that's an opinion, that's just a fact. Now he

179
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: can make the playoffs as a wild card like he

180
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: did last year and is very admirable. It's very impressive

181
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: that he's making the playoffs with Mac Jones and a

182
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: bunch offensive players. Beside the running backs you can't even name.

183
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: You can't name any of his wide receivers. So he's

184
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: gonna have to keep doing moves like this because Tommy

185
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: couldn't get another super Bowl in Tampa. Bill can't. But

186
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: Bill can do things like, well, how about the year

187
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: when Belichick won ten games and was the seven seed.

188
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: He was the offensive coordinator and he did not have

189
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, like you get credit for that. You know,

190
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of adding to his resume because he knows

191
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: he's never gonna win another Lombardi there again, he would

192
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: never in a million years probably even admit that privately.

193
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: But come on, let's just call a spade a spade.

194
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: You're not winning a super Bowl in the a f

195
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: C with Mac Jones and an average roster when you

196
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: literally have to out coach people every single week. And

197
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: here's the other thing, Like he lost Josh McDaniels. Josh

198
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: McDaniels took some of the guys from that staff, some

199
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: young people like Mike Lombardi's son, Mick, Like those were

200
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: type guys Bill was molding, and then they left. So

201
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: I think Bill is just in trouble in the sense

202
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: that he doesn't have the young coaches on the staff anymore,

203
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: and too like his egos at play a little bit

204
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: because the competitiveness with Tom and trying to add to

205
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: his legacy is just the only thing he really has left.

206
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: Like he gets credit for ten eleven win seasons. Like

207
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: now Tom is only playing for Super Bowls. That's the

208
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: only thing that matters to That's not really Bill anymore.

209
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: Bill's just trying to, you know, check some boxes before

210
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: he rides off to the sunset in Nantucket with cougar

211
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: Linda in the next two or three years. Now, who's

212
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: gonna be their coach? Who knows? Maybe hands it off

213
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: to Jared Mayo. But that's why he's doing all this

214
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: weird stuff. Older people, super rich guys that are super successful,

215
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: they could do some weird things in their seventies. I know.

216
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: I saw it as a kid growing up. Some of

217
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: my friend's grandparents that ran companies that were successful. Is

218
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: start going off the rails a little bit. And I'm

219
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: not saying Bills losing it or anything, but he's just

220
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna do some wacky things moving forward. Be prepared. The

221
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: other thing is, I don't think we've talked about it

222
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, but really just the in the the

223
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: actual trades in a vacuum were such big deals, right,

224
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack getting traded, Tyreek Kill getting traded, obviously, DeVante

225
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: getting traded, Russell Wilson getting traded. I do think there's

226
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: been a rams ramification of the NFL. And anytime you're

227
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: a trend setter, uh, you're always gonna be called an idiot,

228
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: a whack job. You're gonna fail. Anyone that trend sets

229
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: Every average person and the majority of humans are gonna

230
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: say you're gonna fail. That's dumb, human human nature, right.

231
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: I just think of a couple of years ago. Do

232
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: you remember when Russell o'kun I didn't really probably know

233
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: what bitcoin was, not that I didn't have heard of it,

234
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: but probably till the last couple of years, really cryptocurrency,

235
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff, you know, I could not even I

236
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: can't explain it now, but I definitely couldn't have even

237
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: said more than a sentence on it two years ago.

238
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget when he wanted to get paid

239
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: in bitcoin every single person, and I'm probably guilty, like

240
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: what the fuck is this guy doing? What? Moron? And

241
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: think how many players are going to be paid in

242
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: bitcoin in the future? Moving forward? I got news for

243
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot. He was just the first,

244
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: and oh he might maybe if you're listening to this

245
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: to you're a crypto guy. There were others, but they

246
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: were gonna be many, many more moving forward. Honestly, in

247
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: twenty years, it's not out of the realm possibility that

248
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: a large percentage of players, and that large percentage of

249
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: players could be like are being paid in cryptocurrency. I

250
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: would never discount that. Now. I can't read the future,

251
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: but it's clearly a trend where we're headed, right, And

252
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: any time you set the trend in anything in society,

253
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: you're called an idiot. And let's face it, people thought

254
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: the rams were off their rockers for years. I've seen

255
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: it in my own business, right, Like, uh remember like

256
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: five six years ago when everyone started pivoting to like

257
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: video and they told all the big jay journals, They're like, listen, now,

258
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: this writing thing, these newspapers are going to die eventually, right,

259
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: so you better get on the video. Remember, Jake Paul

260
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: is like, all these idiot YouTubers, these YouTubers, what are

261
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: these YouTubers doing it? Then then the lists of how

262
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: much all the YouTubers were making, they're no longer called idiots.

263
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: They're called business men that are printing cash. And do

264
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: you notice now everyone's on YouTube? Why because there's money

265
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: to be made on YouTube. But five, six, eight years ago,

266
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: if you're like, I made my living off YouTube, I

267
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: love saying, they're like, what do you do for a living?

268
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm a podcaster, Listen, it's not it feels

269
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: big to me, but a lot of people like, man,

270
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: you can make a living off that. So like, yeah,

271
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: I do do okay, But you get kind of sideyed.

272
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: But if I said, you know what, I sell insurance,

273
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: they'd be like, that is a stable job. Way to go, John,

274
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: you know. But if I, you know, actually I stream

275
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: for a living, they'd be like, what what are you doing?

276
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: And just the nature of the deal. The rands have

277
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: been trading these picks for a long period of time

278
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: because we I've been talking about this for a long

279
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: time because I've heard so many gentle managers talk about it,

280
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: and really, this guy takes a lot of ship. But

281
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: the most outspoken of it all was John Snyder. And

282
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: for a long period of time, right the Seattle Seahawks

283
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: were always drafting somewhere between like twenty four and thirty one,

284
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: thirty two, right, they always drafted in the late to

285
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: mid twenties, and John Snyder was adamant. He's like, the

286
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: reason we're always trading back or trading that pick for

287
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: players is because on any given draft, there are not

288
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: thirty two first round players. There are only sixteen to eighteen,

289
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: and some years they might be fourteen. Now, obviously they're

290
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty two picks in the first round. But

291
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: if I'm drafting a guy at twenty four that I

292
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: have a second round grade on, I then have to

293
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: pay that guy first round money and there's not great

294
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: value to that. Now if that guy becomes and here's

295
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: the thing, on draft night and your draft grades like

296
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: three years later, they don't always reflect. You're not always

297
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: gonna be right, but you can only go off the

298
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: information you have. So on draft night, if I'm let's

299
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: say the Miami Dolphins and the Oakland Raiders that both

300
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: traded picks in the twenties, the Raiders treated pick twenty

301
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: two for Davante and obviously their second, and the Miami

302
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins traded forty niner pick, I actually think it's pretty

303
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: easy for them to justify more than likely this draft

304
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: is not known as a very top heavy draft. There's

305
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: a lot of depth in the draft, but it's definitely

306
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: not viewed as a lot of difference making players. In

307
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: the first round. Like last year, it was pretty clear

308
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: there were some stunts, right, Kyle Pitts was considered a

309
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame talent. Jamaar Chase had one of the

310
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: greatest college seasons we'd ever seen. What things looking back,

311
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: if Micah Parsons hadn't set out the season, that guy's

312
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: going top five. And then you factor in all the quarterbacks,

313
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: you factor in the lineman like they were flying. It was.

314
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: It was viewed as an elite draft for a reason.

315
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: They were just difference making players. This draft is not

316
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: viewed that way. So when you're making these trades, you

317
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: you look at forever it was like, you know, if

318
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: you make that trade and it blows up in your face,

319
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna suck. Well. The Rams haven't been perfect on

320
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: all their trades, right, Brandon Cooks that was a flop,

321
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: didn't They once upon a time trade for Sammy Watkins

322
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: that didn't really work. Obviously, Jalen Ramsey has gone pretty well.

323
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: I would call that like a B plus. I wouldn't

324
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: give it like an A plus. I'd say Matt Stafford

325
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: was basically an A minus A. But it shows when

326
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: you get talent if you can afford to pay him

327
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: on the cap and your owner as the cash to

328
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: put ness grows, slash the signing bonus. It makes no

329
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: sense to keep that pick in the late first round.

330
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: It just doesn't unless you need to reset your team.

331
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: Like I think that's the way the Chiefs view it, right.

332
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: They chose to pivot off that and who knows what

333
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: is it inconceivable to think that they use one of

334
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: those picks to trade for a player, maybe trade back

335
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: and accumulate more picks next year. I think everything's on

336
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: the table. They just wanted more options. But I do

337
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: think that the Rams have shown the league that these

338
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: picks in the twenties. Who gives a shit? Why does

339
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: it matter? Do you think the forty nine ers now

340
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: they don't even know if tray Lands can play. But

341
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: ultimately they traded pick nine like that that was the

342
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: pick they used. The Rams use pick thirty two to

343
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: get Matt Stafford. So I think sometimes when we use

344
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: the power of picks, how and listen, I was a

345
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: college scout. The power of picks is a really big deal.

346
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: But I've seen a lot of picks. You know, for

347
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: every Fletcher Cox. When I was with the Eagles, we

348
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: drafted some Danny Watkins. So picks are just that, they

349
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: are a complete amble. One thing that's not a gamble.

350
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Tyree Kill, Khalil Mack, Russell Wilson. Now it'd

351
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: be like, well, what if those guys get hurt. Yes,

352
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: football guys can get hurt on any given snap, on

353
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: any given play. They get hurt in the weight room,

354
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: they can get hurt training on a grass field, and

355
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: may they can get hurt in an NFL game in November.

356
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: You have you can't control any of that. But I

357
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: can't control I know this guy's an elite ass kicker,

358
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: and the Ramps have shown just put your chips in

359
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: the middle of the table. What are you wasting time for?

360
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: And you would say that the money flowing into the

361
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: NFL owners are never have never had less patience, so

362
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: they're not gonna wait around for you to lose. And

363
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, we missed on another pick. You're gonna

364
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: get fired. Vandual Sports Book, NBA, same game, parlay. What

00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, which John Lytz today explained, you know, like,

395
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: let's face, the forty nine is overplayed there. Jimmy Garoppolo

396
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: hand he got surgery and that blew up in their face,

397
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: and now they're stuck with him at least still training camp.

398
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: And then they're also praying for someone to get her.

399
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: Who knows if that's going to happen. But we've all

400
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: agreed that Jimmy is a very flawed player, Like his

401
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: best quality is the human being you know when your

402
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: best quality as a quarterback, he's like, this guy is

403
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: a great guy. Not at night, like when we say

404
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: what's Tom Brady's best quality, it's not that he's a

405
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: teammate and he's the greatest teammate of all times. Like

406
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: his arm, his mind, his ability to manipulate defenses. Peyton,

407
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: you know the way we describe all these guys and

408
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: then you talk about the guy. I've said this a

409
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: while back, Baker Mayfield. When Chris Mortenson talks and he

410
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: crushes a player, I truly believe that comes from the owner.

411
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 1: Chris Mortenson at your New Age Big J Journal, he

412
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 1: knows every single owner on speed out. And when you're

413
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: gonna say something is an old school big J about

414
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: someone's character, you're gonna have it backed up by someone

415
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: you feel comfortable with. And the owner is someone you're

416
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: gonna feel very comfortable with because he's telling you something

417
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: that clearly he gets from the coach and the general manager.

418
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: Is kind of an unfiltered thing. And I said this

419
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: within the last whatever mort said about Baker Mayfield, that

420
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: they want to grown up in the room. I can't

421
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: get over. And I've been saying for a while like

422
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: I I was much more mature in my thirties than

423
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: I was in my twenties, but I also never got married.

424
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: If a married man, whether that guy is twenty five

425
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: or whether that guy's forty, has been married a couple

426
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: of years and someone describes that individual as very immature,

427
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: I kind of red flag just the whole situation. Last

428
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: serious relationship I was in, I gained. I feel like

429
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: I grew as a human exponentially. I got I be

430
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: I came out of that thing a way better human being.

431
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: And most people are like, there's a reason people settle down.

432
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: It helps him focus, it helps him just grow as

433
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: a guy. And this is a married guy that clearly

434
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland thinks is a complete slap. There's a reason he's

435
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: still on the team because I think he's toxic around

436
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: the league. This guy was the number one overall pick,

437
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: and we could argue if that was an overdraft, which

438
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: you know in hindsight it was, but just a couple

439
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: of years ago in two thousand and twenty, he had

440
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: a fantastic season. And I understand he's injured or had

441
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: an injury this last year, but that shouldn't wipe away

442
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: everything that positively happened for the guy two years ago, right,

443
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's been up and down for years, and it's like, well,

444
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: he's such a good guy. Think about all the quarterbacks.

445
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, such a great guy. We crushed Carson Wentz rightfully.

446
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: So it's like, what is your deal? And forever. There

447
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: were two sides with the Baker Mayfield thing, and Coward

448
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: was the leader on the one side, and he was

449
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: proven right, like they called this guy not an adult

450
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: in the room, like kicking his stuff together, and they

451
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: basically can't stand the guy. And they went to Deshaun Watson,

452
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: who has twenty two civil cases pending, and I just

453
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: to me, Baker's a walking, talking red flag at this point,

454
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: Like I just I don't know. I mean, I I

455
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: feel if I was another team, I wouldn't touch him.

456
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: He's on the books for eighteen million dollars. He his

457
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: old team that he had success with couldn't run him

458
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: out of the build. One thing like with with the

459
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: Indie and Carson Wentz, he was there one year, he

460
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: blew at the last two games and they missed the playoffs.

461
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield the Cleveland Browns has been in the playoffs

462
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: one time in the last like fifteen years, and Baker

463
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: Mayfield was the quarterback. A year later, they're like, we're

464
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: done with this cat. We can't stand him. We're gonna

465
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: move off of them. And you know it's not like

466
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: he's just you know, he's got some he's just single.

467
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: He's out and about like dude's married. You know, it's

468
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: like and he still can't figure it out. What a

469
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: bizarre kind of fall from grace, even even in Cleveland. Uh.

470
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: Some other news today is the Hard Knocks. I think

471
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: the brand's dead. I thought it officially died last year.

472
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was unwatchable. I watched the first episode

473
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: and I was done. I couldn't watch anymore. Uh. It's

474
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: it's become we know too much about the NFL. We

475
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: we've seen it before. Hard Knocks have been going now

476
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: for two decades. Like we saw inside the meeting room

477
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: with the coaches and the scouts, like we've seen inside

478
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: a guy getting cut, and they don't show any of

479
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: that stuff anymore. So my question is with Hard Knocks,

480
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: like is this thing even around in a couple of years.

481
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: All these teams now do their own internal deals, right

482
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: they all if you go to their YouTube page. I'll

483
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: do some semblance of their own Hard Knocks and they

484
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: of the Detroit Lions, which I understand Dan Campbell probably

485
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: be kind of entertaining for the bits and pieces that

486
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: you show them, but overall, like has there hasn't been

487
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: a Hard Knocks on paper that I will be like, Yeah,

488
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: if I don't watch one second, I don't care. Now

489
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be some funny stuff with Dan Campbell,

490
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: and I'll watch a little, but I really think it's

491
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: over the ratings last year. We're in the tank. I

492
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: think the consumers kind of board with it because they've

493
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: it's just it's too bland. Now you gotta give us something.

494
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: I say it all the time about the Netflix F

495
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: one series. You couldn't pay me to watch F one

496
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: until this last week I actually watched, uh probably you know,

497
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: twenty laps of the deal. I don't care about racing

498
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: at all, but their content on that show is fantastic.

499
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: The different what would be the equivalent of coaches or

500
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: gms on the different teams constantly talk shit about each other.

501
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: The the drivers will talk some shit about each other

502
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 1: or the other teams. There is conflict that there's no

503
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: really con like than Hard knocks anymore, Like the undrafted

504
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: free agent is not gonna make the team. Like we've

505
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: seen this story over and over and over again, and

506
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: now in the individual teams like the Colts do something

507
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: that is just much better than anything you'll see on

508
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks. So I think it's kind of over. The

509
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: Bills are officially now getting a stadium there. You know,

510
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: there were some threats about maybe they're moving. What was

511
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Who was gonna pay eight fifty million given

512
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: by the taxpayer. Of course, the natural inclination of you know,

513
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: social media is like how good the government give them

514
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: any money. It's like, listen, I live in California. We

515
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: have like a two trillion surplus of cash. I used

516
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: to think, like, you know, you'll pay more in taxes,

517
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: you help out the single mom and the and the

518
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: poor kid. That's not what happens. Again, I live in California,

519
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: where we have more tax revenue than any other state

520
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: by a distant mile. We lead the country and poor

521
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: people and it ain't going to single moms. So it's

522
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: not like this tax money actually helps anybody. That's my thing,

523
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: Like if you were the bills. I would how do

524
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: you blame anyone for taking free money? If someone would

525
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: give you free money, like the government would be like, hey,

526
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: you want to buy a house, we will give you

527
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: the down payment. Would you say no? Like, of course,

528
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: it's just business, one on one. But this notion that

529
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: these tax dollars would go to help other people again,

530
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: people are rotting in California. We have the market cornered

531
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: on homeless people, and somehow we operate like we're Apple

532
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 1: and have this trillion dollar surplus of tax revenue. So

533
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: this notion that it could go to help someone, well, yeah,

534
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: it could in theory, but that's not actually what we

535
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: ever use the money for. So I don't ever get

536
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: bothered by these teams that get money from the government,

537
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: because I've seen it firsthand forever in California. You just

538
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: fucking waste away cash year in, year out, and you

539
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: don't actually help the people that need the help. So

540
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: the the reaction on social media is very, very predictable,

541
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: but it's just it's not It's not reality, period, point blank,

542
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: end of story. So the bills are in the new stadium,

543
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: happy for bills fans probably look pretty sweet, and the

544
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: poligulas who have a ship tone of money. I understand

545
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: getting mad that super rich people can pull stuff off

546
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: like this, but it just it's happened for a long time.

547
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: It's gonna continue happening. My main issue is just thinking

548
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: that those tax dollars would actually be used correctly to

549
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: help the people in need, because that's just not what happens.

550
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: Malik willis a lot of buzz that he's gonna be

551
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: the first quarterback. I think it's a lock, uh because

552
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: the other guys like, why would you if you got

553
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: a chance to take a big swing, why would you

554
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: try to hit a double? The whole point of taking

555
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback really high is to hit a home run

556
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: is to land a Josh Allen is the land of

557
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is the land of Justin Herbert is hell

558
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: to land? What lamar? If we could redo that traft Lamar,

559
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: Jackson's going to right? If Josh going one, he's going

560
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: to You're trying to hit a grand slam. Like ultimately,

561
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: if you're comped for Kenny Pickett is like you know,

562
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: he's like Mac Jones, Kirk Cousins, like the other a guy.

563
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: It's like, well, he could be a star. He might

564
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: not be you might with but you might as well

565
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: take a big swing. So to me, Malik Willis, I

566
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: even saw Tomlin. Tomlin can't even hide his excitement on

567
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: the guy. The thing is the Steelers. He's never gonna

568
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: get last to the Steelers. Like that's not happening, you know.

569
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: So the thing with Malik Willis, I think there's probably

570
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: at as crazy as it is. The one game I've

571
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: watched him Old Miss, he was terrible. Now he's playing Liberty,

572
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: they're playing the SEC team that won ten games. I

573
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: mean Old Miss beat Texas. Now, I mean they're they were,

574
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: they were legit. I mean it was the best regular

575
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: season in the history of the program. But my one

576
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: exposure not great. But physically I will not dispute. I

577
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: remember my couple of exposures with Josh Allen when he

578
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: was at Wyoming against Oregon, I think against Iowa. Maybe

579
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: it was the vat I forget who. The couple of games,

580
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: the national television games that I watched, it was ugly.

581
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: It was really really bad, and he's gone on to

582
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: become a great player. So to me, you could easily

583
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: justify there's a reason we pay a head coach ten

584
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: million dollars as a reason we pay our offensive coach

585
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: a couple of million dollars, a reason we pay our

586
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: quarterback coach eight thousand dollars. Earn your money. Coach this

587
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: guy up, you know that would if I was the owner,

588
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: that would be my mindset, Like can this guy, this

589
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: guy the physical traits to coach up, because I've seen

590
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: enough guys now get coached up and improved. Justin Herbert,

591
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: I thought he was kind of inaccurate in college. He's

592
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: been very accurate in the pros. Like, whoever's coaching him

593
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: doing a good job. Why are we paying you guys

594
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: all this money? You guys are paid a premium. It's like,

595
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: coach these guys up, and to me, Malik Willis would

596
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: be the no brainer. If I'm taking a swing now

597
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: that my again, some of these guys. Eventually, some of

598
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks are not gonna work out right, And we

599
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: started to see it, right Sam Donald Flop, Baker Mayfield

600
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: and shambles. Josh Rosen's a joke. I mean it's it

601
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: started to slowly creep in last year. It's like a

602
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: couple of these guys, like of those five players, two

603
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: or three of them are just not gonna be good

604
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: NFL players. Uh, it's hard to tell after one season,

605
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: but like in a couple of years, we're gonna know

606
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: for for sure. Not in all of them are not

607
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: getting an hundred million dollar extensions. That's not happening. Uh.

608
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: The coaches picture came out and I said this yesterday.

609
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: Weird things are going on in Carolina. Any time that

610
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: you leak that, uh you're basically the who you have

611
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: first round draft grades on, is a little bizarre. You know.

612
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: One you're either directly lying to the to the newspaper

613
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: beat reporter, which is not abnormal. That happens. You know,

614
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: this is known as lying season. You push things out.

615
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: But I don't really know on March how that behooves you.

616
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: Uh maybe because you know you're negotiating with the forty

617
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: Niners or the Browns over their quarterbacks in a trade,

618
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: so you're trying to let them know, like we have

619
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: really high draft grades that that's possible. But as I've said,

620
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: I I do think the owner, given his level of wealth,

621
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: given how how new he is, given how much he

622
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: paid for the team all in cash, has to be

623
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: getting very very impatient, has to be getting very, very edgy.

624
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: The picture that stood out to me in that coach's

625
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: photo of a day, Matt Rule looks absolutely terrible. He's

626
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: not sixty five years old. I looked it up before

627
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: I hopped on here. He's forty seven years old. You know,

628
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: like when a president goes in and then he comes

629
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: out and he looks like twenty years older. Sometimes that

630
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: happens with football coaches. Right you become you're an offensive coordinator,

631
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: You're you're in shape because you're able to get workouts in,

632
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: you've got some time management. Then you become a head

633
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: coach and it just all goes out the window and

634
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: you you, you know, you leave the office five years later,

635
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: you look like Matt Patricia. Matt Rule looks like he's

636
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: gained about fifty years, fifty pounds. He looks as unhealthy

637
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: as you can possibly look. And I just wonder if

638
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: this Carolina experiment, they gave him so much money, money

639
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: talk shit walks. It was hard for him to turn

640
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: down the opportunity to be an NFL head coach, the

641
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to run an organization. I come completely understand why

642
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: he took it, but it's been a complete failure. And

643
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: his body just shows it like he just looks like

644
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm a disaster. This is a disaster. We're a disaster almost.

645
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: I feel bad for him a little bit, and it's

646
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: hard to listen. You know, the guy's got more money

647
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: than he'll ever need, generational wealth like his families. Fine,

648
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: but you just see the body language. That's a miserable,

649
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: miserable human and I think he knows he's going nowhere fast.

650
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: He's on a ship that isn't just taken on water.

651
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: It's sinking. And you know, sometimes as the captain of

652
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: the ship, you either go down with it. We've seen

653
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: before in the NFL with college coaches, you jump off it.

654
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: There's a lifeboat. And I don't think it's out of

655
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: the realm of possibility. If next year there a six

656
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: seven win team that Matt Rule pulls a Nick Saban,

657
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: that pulls up Bobby Petrino and he's the head coach

658
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: of a college program in the middle of December and

659
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: just leaves and it's just kind of a mutual breakup.

660
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: They just go there sepparate ways. Because you cannot look

661
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: at that picture and go, yeah, this guy's long for

662
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: the league. Uh, things aren't going well. I um, guy

663
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: needs to get healthy. I mean, he really does. Are

672
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: let's dive into a little Middlecoff mail. Back at John

673
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: Middlecoff is the Instagram. The d m s are wide open,

674
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: and uh here's a question I just got from Devin.

675
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he wants me to share this,

676
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: but new to the Shaved Head gang and have a

677
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: couple of questions for you. Do you shave your head

678
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: every day? One? I do not, um shave every other day?

679
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: Depending now, if I have, like going on a date,

680
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: doing something serious gonna do you know, camera work? You know,

681
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: if I'm recording a podcast, even then I don't need to.

682
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: But if I want to look slick, I do it.

683
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 1: If I don't, I don't. Uh. Could I shave every day?

684
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: You know? Be hard on my skin, but your body

685
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: kind of gets used to it. I probably could shave

686
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: every thirty six hours. The question do you get dry

687
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: skin on your scalp? And if so, how do you

688
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: get rid of it? I moisturize. So here's the key.

689
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: When you go bald, you no longer you shampoo. Right,

690
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: you guys listening to this with hair, to shampoo your hair,

691
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: get out and dry your hair. Us bald people, we

692
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: wash our face and her head all in one. So

693
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 1: your face wash actually just use on your whole head.

694
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: So after you shave your face and I shaved my

695
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: face and my head in the shower, first thing I

696
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: do when I get out is that lotion up. So

697
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: I lotion um lotion my head, lotion my body, but

698
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 1: definitely your head. I put a lot of lotion on

699
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: my dome and especially after I shave. It's a little

700
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: tricks to the trade. Okay, let's let's bang out some questions.

701
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: I got some new ones, but I gotta answer some oldies.

702
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: But goodies. Hey, John love the pot. My brother, father

703
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: and I are in disagreement about what the expectations for

704
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: Denver should be next season. I think playoffs or it's

705
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: a total fail. Am I being too hard on my team? Ps?

706
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 1: If you have Hulu, you have ESPN Plus and Disney Plus,

707
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: so hop on there and watch some Man DeLorean. Uh

708
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: not a big Mandalorian. It's not really my style. But

709
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: I hear you. Uh uh, let me answer your question.

710
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: I yes, anything but playoffs with Russell Wilson is a disaster.

711
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: I think that is very fair to say that if

712
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: your team does not make the playoffs with Russell Wilson

713
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: as your quarterback after making a historic trade and your

714
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: roster is really good, it would feel like a kick

715
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: in the you know what. Now, it's gonna be difficult.

716
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: I've said over and over the a f C West,

717
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: there is gonna be a team in the a f

718
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: C West, the Raiders, the Chargers, or the Broncos that

719
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: is gonna go like eight nine or nine and eight,

720
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: and it's gonna feel like you just won three games.

721
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna feel a disaster because any of the teams

722
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: that don't make the playoffs in that division, it's gonna

723
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,959
Speaker 1: be a problem. Now. I don't think that the Chiefs

724
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: are gonna miss But hell, I could be wrong, but

725
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: I'll just bank on the team that makes playoffs every year.

726
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: London Blend College. Someone asked me a question that they

727
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: were going to Blend College is where Cam went and

728
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: won the junior college Natty, it's good information, f Y.

729
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: I just listened to mailbag. Um M cam Newton went

730
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: to Florida with Urban Meyer and then he got the

731
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: boot because I think he stole a laptop or something. Hey, John,

732
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: question for the mailbag, what's the Packers plan? It can't

733
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: possibly to be to pay Aaron fifty million dollars a

734
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: year in his final Super Bowl window and then go

735
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: into the season with Lazard, Randall Cobb, a Marie Rodgers

736
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: and a rookie. Right, those guys wouldn't crack the three

737
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: deep for most Super Bowl contenders. I'm shocked they weren't

738
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: in the discussion for Tyreeke. They have to have a plan,

739
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: right if you have time. The second question have been

740
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: been you've I think you've been a bit harsh on

741
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. I get it he didn't play well last year,

742
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: but who was he playing behind the Panthers A line

743
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: Donald has had got off of coaching in college, and

744
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: he carried the team to twenty and four record. True,

745
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: Helton will never win another twenty games and his next

746
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: four years combined without him being drafted the Jets like

747
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: a death sentence, multiple bad head coaches. What was Caroline expecting?

748
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: They have one of the worst offensive lines in the league.

749
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: They only have one elite weapon in McCaffrey. I think

750
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: DJ More is pretty good and if he only played

751
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: four games. They fired their offensive coordinator midseason. You often

752
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: surmised the head coach has no idea what he's doing. Okay,

753
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: you know you make you make fair points. Sam Donald

754
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: has just developed bad habits. I think sometimes in life,

755
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: regardless of what your circumstances are, you can develop bad habits,

756
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: and bad habits are difficult to break the longer you're

757
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: in an industry. I know some as a single guy,

758
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: I you know, the last relationship. In going into it,

759
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: I had some bad habits developed, and it was very

760
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: healthy for me to realize, like, these are not healthy

761
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: big picture, and I've just become a better person since

762
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: You've seen a lot of quarterbacks that go to shitty

763
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: organizations and they go to a good one and they

764
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: get their good habits hammered back home into them because

765
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: I would say, when I watched Sam Donald, I see

766
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: a very very reckless player. Uh who might just you know,

767
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: he's only twenty four years old. Maybe he just needs

768
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: a complete career reset. Uh. So if you told me

769
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: that Sean McVeigh or Kyle Shanahan or Andy Reid or

770
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: Sean Payton got their hands on him. I know Sean

771
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: Payton's retired, but you know what I mean, I guess

772
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: retired might be strong. He's just taking some time off. Yeah,

773
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: could he be resurrected? For sure? The Packers thing is

774
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 1: a little bizarre. I saw Gudikins talk to the media today,

775
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: and he's right. He said, our roster today is not

776
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a roster in a month. It's not gonna

777
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: be a roster in six months. It's not gonna be

778
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: a roster when the season starts. I get that, But

779
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: I say, Brian, what are your options at wide receiver?

780
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: You're clearly gonna draft a guy, but there is no

781
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: guarantee for every justin Jefferson, there's a Jalen Reagor for

782
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: every you know, Deebo Samuel, there's a Dante Pettis, like

783
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: picks do not always hit, and no one knows at

784
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: the time. I don't care who you are. No one

785
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: thought Tyreek Hill was gonna be that good, right Davante

786
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: Adams went in the end of the second round, So

787
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very, very difficult. Like pre

788
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: he signed Julio Jones, I guess, but is he physically shot? Um?

789
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: I just think them depending on the draft is just

790
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: It's a lot, man, it really is. And like you said,

791
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: you have this great, great player, you don't want to

792
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: get in a position where all of a sudden you realize,

793
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: like our team is just not good enough. Like the Lakers.

794
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: They have Lebron who's still fucking unreal, but their team sucks.

795
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Its just And I know Anthony Davis has been hurt,

796
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: but even if Anthony Davis was healthy, the rest of

797
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: their team blows. Part of the reason the Packers have

798
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: been good the last couple of years. They've had a

799
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: really good team, sweet wide receiver, sweet running back, sweet

800
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. It's but Davante could dominate. Now they have

801
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: no They Scantling is pretty solid player, and I I

802
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 1: like Lazard, but holy Molly, why is no one talking

803
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: about Juju to the Chiefs, I understand that he's not

804
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 1: fast or quite as dynamic as Hill. Both Andy drawn

805
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: up plays and Patty Mahomes thrown into him. He's gonna

806
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: be dangerous. Aaron Steelers fan, I agree clearly. The Chiefs

807
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: have liked Juju for a long time. I would imagine

808
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: they liked Juju a lot coming out of college. They

809
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: tried to sign him last year, they tried to sign

810
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: him again this year, and they got him now. Juju

811
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: when he first came in the league, when Antonio Brown

812
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: was still there was sweet. I'm pretty sure if I

813
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: go to a stat page Juju sports reference Juju's first

814
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: I guess his first two seasons rookie season fifty eight catches,

815
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, his second season, which was his massive year,

816
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: hundred eleven catches, seven touchdowns. Even in two thousand and

817
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: twenty with the Steelers seven catches, nine touchdowns. I think

818
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: the question with them is just focus, maturity, TikTok. And

819
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: there is no doubt Juju Smith Schuster can play. And

820
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm with you. If Andy likes you, you're gonna get

821
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: your opportunities on offense. He's got positional value, you know,

822
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: he can play inside, you know, if you have to

823
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: go outside some jump balls, I'm with you. Uh, what's up? Bro?

824
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: Listen all the time while I work. You're pretty funny

825
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: as well. I'm a Bengals fan, so I despise Cleveland.

826
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: But I'm confused on how the Browns are now like

827
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: four or like top four or five in the a

828
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: f C and odds to win the Super Bowl above

829
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals. It makes no sense. Do you think the Bengals?

830
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: Excuse me, no sense? What do you think? I also

831
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: think people are over hyping Watson. He's not top seven

832
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: or eight in the NFL. Well, I would agree in

833
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: the sense he hasn't played a game in a year,

834
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: and depending on how long he gets suspended, he will

835
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: not have taken an NFL snap and probably two seasons,

836
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: like to calendar years, that's a long time. If they

837
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: get good quarterback play, the Browns are pretty good. I mean,

838
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: they have arguably the best pure pass rusher in the

839
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: league in Miles. Their defense is solid, They're running game

840
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: is unreal, their tight end is good, the Adamori I mean,

841
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 1: they might bring back Jarvis Landry. Their a lines good.

842
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: Deshaun is so much better than Baker, so much better

843
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: than Baker. But there is a massive question mark what

844
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna look like when he comes back just early.

845
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 1: I think eventually he'll be fine. But he hasn't played

846
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: football in so long. He's never been a cold weather guy.

847
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: I always read flag that like he's a lifetime great

848
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: weather guy. Played at Clemson, ben in Houston and a

849
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: dome like you play at Cleveland. You are playing two

850
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: months of the year, playing Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Baltimore. You're playing

851
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: cold weather games. He doesn't have a huge arm, but

852
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: it's good enough. Uh. You know, he's kind of got

853
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 1: to me like a little bigger version of Russell Wilson. Uh,

854
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: that to me is kind of the mold I would

855
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: put him in, but I would say that, you know,

856
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: fairer not. I think a lot of people not a

857
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 1: flash in the pan because your offense is really good.

858
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: But are you really like a super Bowl team? Now?

859
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: The Bengals to me, are going to compete to win

860
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: double digit games as long as Joe Burrow plays. And

861
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: do I trust Joe Burrow more than this to Shawn situation?

862
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: For sure? Do you have the best quarterback in the division?

863
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: If I had to pick one guy in that division,

864
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: and I've come around on Lamar. I would take your guy,

865
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: but you know, I do think the Brown's roster is

866
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: better than yours. Fair not could be wrong. Well, I

867
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: know a lot of people. It sucks you make the

868
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and then people think you're like overrated, But

869
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: that's just nature of pro sports. Recently found your podcast.

870
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: They've been loving it, appreciate it. I've been seeing a

871
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: lot of NFL teams convert base salaries to signing bonuses,

872
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: therefore freeing up cap space. Why didn't the Cowboys do

873
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: that with Cooper? Because I don't think they wanted Cooper

874
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: on their team anymore. Part of when you do that,

875
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: Let's say I owe you ten million dollars this year,

876
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: and instead of just having a ten million dollar salary,

877
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: I'll convert that will extend your contract. Convert that ten

878
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: million dollars to signing bonus. I can amortize that over

879
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: two years. You stay on my books. They traded Cooper

880
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: and they're done with him after this year. He will

881
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,479
Speaker 1: not impact them anymore. I think they wanted to move

882
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: on from the player. To me. You convert bonuses on

883
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 1: guys you want to keep right, like the forty Niners

884
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: did that with George Kittle and Eric Armstead. They converted

885
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: their salaries because they needed cap space, but they didn't

886
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: want to get rid of those guys. You guys, you know,

887
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: if you're a Cowboy fan, I'm assuming did not want

888
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: to keep Himri, which a little weird, But I do

889
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: think he can drive your nuts because he has all

890
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: this talent, but he's he's not an overachiever, right, just

891
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: in terms of some's missing for a really good player.

892
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: And I think i'm Ari's really good. But once you

893
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: start paying him a lot of money, I can see

894
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: how he drives you nuts. So I think it's just simple.

895
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: They didn't want to convert anything because they didn't want

896
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: him on their team anymore. Could you remind people? Andrew

897
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: Luck quit nine days before the season started, and and

898
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: I still hate him for that, for the timing, for

899
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,439
Speaker 1: the decision, for the decision, Imagine Mahomes quitting nine days

900
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: before the season. I was at the Bears preseason game

901
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: the week before he quit and saw him throwing balls

902
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 1: on the sideline. Colts fan from Indy, I would say

903
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: the difference of using Patrick Mahomes as an example Andrew

904
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 1: Luck had missed a season and was also injured when

905
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: he announced his retirement, like his body was falling apart

906
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: because Ryan Grigson put the worst offensive line you've ever

907
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: seen in front of him. Not part of it is

908
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: Andrew was a little reckless with his body, but still

909
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: that team was got him destroyed. But his body. I

910
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: know he got in the snowboarding accident, but had he

911
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: he had missed a season and he was he was

912
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: gonna miss another. He was gonna go on pop like

913
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: his Patrick Mahomes plays Josh Allen plays. To me, it

914
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: would be the equivalent of like you'd have to think

915
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: of some injured guy like Dak Prescott last year just

916
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: would to quit. You have you have to factor in

917
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: the injuries. You know he he was not just some

918
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: healthy player that just said screw it him out. What

919
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: about Baker to the Niners, I feel he's more accurate

920
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,439
Speaker 1: and more mobile than Jimmy. Plus the Niners run heavy

921
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: will help with Baker not being a superb star quarter

922
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: superstar quarterback. If Kyle can go to the super Bowl

923
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: with Jimmy, beat the Rams twice, beat the Packers, I

924
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: feel you can do it with Baker here's the thing

925
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: with Kyle. Kyle values character in his quarterbacks. Kyle has

926
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: a soft spot for Jimmy, who was a very flawed player,

927
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: because of the guy, his work ethic, his football knowledge,

928
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 1: he's just being a pro. I would imagine Kyle's favorite

929
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 1: player of all time is Matt Ryan, who's the ultimate pro.

930
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan loved Matt Shop. Kyle Shanahan loved Kirk Cousins. Baker. Again,

931
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: these aren't my words, These are his team's words. The

932
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: owner of the coach and the GM through Chris Mortenson

933
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 1: is a slappy and Kyle an dealing with Slappy's at quarterback. Honestly,

934
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't like dealing with him at any position. So

935
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: I think it's just simple that one. You just go

936
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: with Trey Lance. You're all You've trade all these picks.

937
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm I talked about it earlier, like, how is Baker

938
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: who has had a productive career, who's the number one

939
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,479
Speaker 1: overall pick, who doesn't make that much money, who could

940
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: be had unless they're asking for like a first round pick,

941
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 1: Nobody wants them because of the person. And I defended

942
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: Baker when Colin immediately, you know, early on in his

943
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: career was crushing him because I thought Baker Mayfield was

944
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 1: gonna be Drew Brees. And as I've said many times,

945
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: you cannot disconnect the person from the player at quarterback.

946
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: Ultimately the type person that Aaron Donald or Myles Garrett.

947
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: It's irrelevant if you can rush the pastor or tackle

948
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: someone or catch some touchdowns at quarterback, you gotta be

949
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: a high level guy, and clearly Baker something is off,

950
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: very very off. Chaz here using my dogs Instagram account

951
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: to send a d M Big Fan couldn't agree more

952
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: with your take from Friday's show about Amazon Prime and

953
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: the viewers not being prepared to stream Thursday Night football.

954
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: Jimmy TRAINEA simply is out of touch. Which where the

955
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: world is today, Almost every base TV on the market

956
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: has a smart TV feature and chrome cast capabilities. There

957
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: are no way someone could honestly believe someone in their

958
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: fifties and up does not have a Netflix or similar

959
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: streaming service account, whether it was up to one of

960
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: their kids or in a parents case, themselves or in

961
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: my parents case, themselves. They call them cord cutters. They

962
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: stream everything. I agree my question. In two thousand sixteen,

963
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: in Canada, the Zone bought the rights of the NFL

964
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: broadcasting through a streaming app. In two thousand eighteen. They

965
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: acquired many other leagues, including e p L Champions League,

966
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: beating TSN and Sportsnet for the Soul rights. Do you

967
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: see something similar happening in the US? Word to Zone

968
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: will be able to take the rights from a T

969
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: and T Direct TV and stream the entire Sunday Monday

970
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: schedule one day, ten to twenty a month. Can't afford

971
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: not to own that subscription. Justin Thomas to win the masters,

972
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 1: take it easy and hardened, trust the process and go birds.

973
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: Like this guy, I like what you're saying. Like again,

974
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: if you don't have my mom, all she watches is

975
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: Netflix and Amazon Prime. She's in her seventies. Like the

976
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: game has changed this the game has changed since two thousand.

977
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: I used to get in the middle of the two

978
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: thousand tens hard newspapers. I would get the Chronicle every day.

979
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: I would get the Sacramento b You couldn't pay me

980
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: to read those newspapers now, the hard copy. I mean,

981
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: if there's an article, but when I click on their articles,

982
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: they don't let me read them because they're all behind

983
00:51:54,760 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: a paywall. So the world changed so rapidly, and Thursany

984
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: football is gonna be fine. And like I said, Bezos

985
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: doesn't care about television ratings, Uh do Zone. I think

986
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen is Amazon or Apple are gonna buy

987
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: direct Package or you know. I've never had it, but

988
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you guys listen to Direct

989
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: TV the Sunday Sunday Package. I think that's gonna be

990
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 1: on streaming service because Apple or Bezos does not care

991
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 1: if it costs him a couple of billion dollars a year.

992
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: These are line items for that company. It is much

993
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: harder for some of these you know, ABC, CBS like

994
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: that that they're pitching pennies, but their commitments it has

995
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: to pencil, even if they're gonna be super aggressive it.

996
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: Bezos didn't lose one second of sleep regardless what he

997
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 1: paid for Thursday night football. It does not matter to him.

998
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 1: So I I would be less likely to think the

999
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: Zone gets it and more likely to think that Apple

1000
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: or Amazon gets it. That that's that would be I

1001
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: guess again, I don't know anyone. No one's told me that,

1002
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: but that would be my educated guess. Your takes on

1003
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: to sha Watson are refreshing. You've covered the whole thing

1004
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: from such an objective standpoint. Well done, Because I'm I

1005
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: don't I'm not subjective on this matter. I don't have

1006
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: any I just don't like I have no I don't

1007
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: know anyone with the Browns. I just don't care. What

1008
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: are Houston's next step forward? In your opinion, how would

1009
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: you begin to change the perception of the franchise? I

1010
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: think the key and I saw this headline is people

1011
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: keep asking Howie Roseman about the quarterback to quarterback to

1012
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: quarterback and keeps saying the same things like janalens our quarterback,

1013
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: channels or quarterback. The key of this draft is building

1014
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: foundational pieces. Last year, they think they have a couple.

1015
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 1: They think DeVante Smith and Landon Dickerson will be foundational pieces.

1016
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: If they can get two out of the three draft

1017
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: picks this year to be a sweet offensive lineman and

1018
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: a sweet defensive lineman, you're in good shape. The key

1019
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 1: for the Texans is last year, they they drafted really well.

1020
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: They might have found their quarterback who at worst could

1021
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 1: just be like a better version like Kirk Cousins can.

1022
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: With their two picks, they land Kyle Hamilton's and Garrett

1023
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: Wilson who just become Pro Bowl level players. If you

1024
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: can get to impact players with their two draft picks

1025
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: there there, they're fucking sitting pretty The key is to

1026
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: get difference making players at three, whoever they draft has

1027
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: to be a stud and at whatever the other pick

1028
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: who third team another stud. You know, they want to

1029
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: get to impact ten year starters who can be Pro

1030
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,439
Speaker 1: Bowl players. That to me is the key. And then

1031
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: a couple other draft picks to become starters. So you

1032
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: gotta start nailing draft picks to be impact players. A

1033
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: couple impact players, and then just a bunch of other starters. Right,

1034
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: A good linebacker here, a good tight end there, a

1035
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: good corner there. That's the key. Last question, I'm from

1036
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: the Sacramentary as well from Colton. Do you think the

1037
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: Raiders could end up signing Honey Badger or Stephon Gilmore?

1038
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: I would say the Honey Badger they drafted some safeties

1039
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: last year. The kid from TCU is actually pretty good,

1040
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: so I would say no. I'm pretty sure they're kind

1041
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: of similar players. Um Stefan Gilmore, I would say, would

1042
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,760
Speaker 1: continue to be in play. Right, who are their corners?

1043
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: Not very good players. I forget the guy's name, but

1044
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 1: the kid from Cleansing they drafted a couple of years. Okay,

1045
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: he's tall, long rock your sin has just not been

1046
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: a good NFL player. Their dbs just aren't very good.

1047
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: So I would say that Gilmore, as long as he

1048
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: will is out there will be in play. But as

1049
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: I talked about on Sunday's Pod, Gilmore, Honey Badger, Julio Jones,

1050
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, these guys don't view themselves as two million

1051
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: dollar players. They've been used to making twelve, fifteen, eighteen

1052
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: million dollars. So when these teams go, hey, Stephen, we'll

1053
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: give you a three million dollars incentives it up to ten,

1054
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: he goes, you're crazy. I'm used to playing on eight

1055
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: million dollars of real money. Now you're gonna pay me

1056
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 1: three or four million dollars. But that's the way the

1057
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: league works with veteran players. And that's why I think

1058
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: these situations get very complicated fast with older guys, because

1059
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: they have almost this false sense of how good they are. Right.

1060
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, you're good, but you're really that good,

1061
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, And yeah, he still might be good, but

1062
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: he's old, he get hurt, You're coming off an injury.

1063
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:33,600
