My name is Dan Hants. I come 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: to you from a virtual room filled with some heroes. 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, Oh yeah, she's back with the promise that 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: she didn't have to do any homework to be on 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: today's show. It is the immortal Connie Fox, Colleen Wolf. 8 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: Are you knowing, Ganny? I'm great. This is way better 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: than last time. Though I still have the splint on 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: my finger so it's really difficult to type. And the 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: landscapers just showed up to mow the lawn, so the 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: dogs are freaking out. But other than that, like, we're good. Yeah, 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: the sound has got some issues. You might be the 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: first guest we actually kick off during the show. I mean, 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: and I know you did homework anyways, he said, you 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: know you you you just find homework to do, so 17 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: I think it's something that you like to do. Well, listen, 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: if you're gonna kick me off like you don't have to, 19 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: I'll just leave if you want, I'll pull you. Probably 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: not being paid for today's program, important to keep that 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: in mind, Connie. So it is it is indeed a 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: fractured finger from the past from Kurt Warner. Did you 23 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: get anything beyond a cursory like l O L whoops? 24 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: A tweet from Warner or even a sliding into the 25 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: d M is not good enough. It's got to be 26 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: a phone call and even an offer to help out 27 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: in some way financially or otherwise take us through it. 28 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: He texted me and said, hey, at least it's a 29 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: good story. So I have to wear a split now 30 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: for six to eight weeks, which means I'll be doing 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: Thursday night football with a splint on my finger, and 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: part of me, part of me is considering, like maybe 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: I should just take this off and have a crooked 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: finger the rest of my life. It would be like 35 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: a hook pinky basically, Um, so I don't, but this 36 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: is really embarrassing and they're gonna give me so much 37 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: heat for it. And also I keep jamming it on 38 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: things because it's just like unwieldy. A little bit a 39 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: short term pain though of wearing it in the embarrassment 40 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: versus the long term pain, which is Baldy getting asked 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: about his fingers every single hit that he's ever done 42 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: on any television network. Ever, including every single time. It's 43 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: very annoying. And also yeah, just say Baldi is a 44 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: good sport about it. And he's also a giant man 45 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: offensive lineman retired like it's part of his whole stick, 46 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: Like you're a TV presenter, you're you can't have a 47 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: hook on the end of your hand. I don't know, 48 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: it's it is something that has crossed my mind. But 49 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: every time I go to the doctor that I have 50 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: to fill out these forms and answer all these questions, 51 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: and they're like, is this a work related injury? Did 52 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: this happen at the workplace? And I'm like, I mean 53 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: it did technically, but there I was gonna say. I'm 54 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: not a litigious man, but I think in terms of 55 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: just getting your name out there, like the Nirvana baby 56 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: from the never Mind album Little Naked Baby swimming towards 57 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: the dollar bill on the hook just sued the band 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: um for I don't know what child pornography, sexual exploitation, 59 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: I think, right, yeah, like is that there's no way 60 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: you launching a lawsuit against Kurt Warner in the NFL 61 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: is worse than that. So I don't know. Just think 62 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: about it, like it's in your pocket. It's in your 63 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: pocket in the next negotiate if you need, will you 64 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: guys represent me? Sure? I was in law for one year, 65 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: two years. I think law Greg will be your lawyer 66 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: and I would be in the front row of that 67 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: courtroom for every day of the trial. Yes, Connie's here, 68 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: that's awesome. This is a bunker cast. Uh. We have 69 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: the Fantasy the Fantasy Extravaganza How to Have the Perfect 70 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: Draft on Wednesday, and that is an evergreen type show 71 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: obviously through the draft season, um, barring injuries, and then 72 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: it becomes completely out of date, but for now it's 73 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: still very good, so make sure you check that out. Um. 74 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: And today we'll be just catching up on the news 75 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: since uh, Wednesday show was pretty self contained in fantasy world. 76 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: And just before we get to the news, just a 77 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: quick update on Mark, because I know everybody loves Mark 78 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,119 Speaker 1: and marksman out of the picture. He is on the mend. 79 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: He's dealing with As I said, he has the blood 80 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: clots that are kind of a issue that pop up 81 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: every every once and again and unfortunately kind of knocked 82 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: him out of action. But I talked to him yesterday. 83 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: He's getting better and he's planning to be back next week. 84 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: So that is the Mark Sessler update. And I could 85 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: tell you he is thankful for all the well wishes 86 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: he's received during his absence. Mark, I know he and 87 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: he will listen. I mean I I and I think 88 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: he did listen to Monday's show. So uh. He was 89 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: a big fan of Arif Hassan thought that was a nice, 90 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: nice voice. All right, let's do some news. I being 91 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: a maniac, he wanted his own normo, even though Irabu 92 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: was a far lesser picture. You got scammed. All right, 93 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: that's a little inside baseball. But we have a we 94 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: have a texture. We have a text chain, uh for 95 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: I think it's a t N bastardos uh and we're 96 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: all on it. And I also have a parallel text 97 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: chain that is with a bunch of Yankees fans. And 98 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: I was talking about a picture from Yankees past to 99 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: Decie Arrabu, and um, I accidentally sent it to the 100 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: wrong chain. I sent it to the a t N 101 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: chain And then Erica, you have some type of series 102 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: thing that led to a funny dictation of it. So 103 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: it's I have my series set to an Irish brogue 104 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: so it will read me text messages and broke. I 105 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: don't know why I did that, but it just sounds 106 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: a little bit more interesting. And when it read your 107 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: text in the broke, it's just like it really, I think, 108 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: just hit a little different. It was nicer. Did you 109 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: just answer a phone call in the middle of this, 110 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: Dan did? I'm sorry, I'm gonna go pick I'm on 111 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: my way to pick up the kids too, so my 112 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: Mike is all messed up, Like I know, I enjoyed that. 113 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: I have a wait, there's a get us out of 114 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: the bunkers. Hello, Hey, what's up? Man? Hey, how's it 115 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: going now?

Alright, good, that's good. That puts me on 118 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: a tight deadline work wise, but that means I have 119 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: to be done by eleven o'clock. Thank you, No worries. 120 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: I'll make sure I'm already all right. Great, Thanks man? 121 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: Are you getting turf? Is that what's happening? I'm doing 122 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: some work in the backyard, I mean Victor. Speaking of Litigius, 123 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, we're using him without asking and he you know, 124 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: if he if he doesn't want his name and his 125 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: and his company being mentioned here. He could get us 126 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: in court. I hope he's a listener. All right, let's 127 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: let's get to it. I do like that you have 128 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: a lilting Irish Brogue dictation device on your phone. It 129 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: just recommended for Colleen Wolf. All right, let's get to it. 130 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: Starting with the Jacksonville's Jaguars. Who oh, what a brave 131 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: maneuver by head coach and team architect Urban Meyer, who 132 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: said that Trevor Lawrence will be indeed his starting quarterback 133 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: in week one. This comes after a summer of madness 134 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: in which urban Meyer kept the door open uh in 135 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: the mock competition with Gardner. Meanshow, here's what Meyer had 136 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: to say about his decision. We wanted him to earn it, 137 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: as we do with every position we felt he has. 138 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: After the last nice performance was um, it was good. 139 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: Obviously not great with me. You know, we gonna run 140 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: the ball very well. But but I kind of my 141 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: mind had that as after the second preseason that we 142 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: kind of have to to get someone ready to play 143 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: in three weeks. I think the Jaguars are doomed. Greg Yeah, 144 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm still welcoming everyone to my corner 145 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: of Rooty against Urban Meyer. For the most part, I've 146 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: been doing it all summer, was was here early, and 147 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: so far, I'm feeling pretty good about this stance. I 148 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: feel bad because I want Trevor Lawrence to be good. 149 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: He seems like like a really nice soul and a 150 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: very fun player to watch, and I do worry that 151 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: he's entering a doomed situation. I went back and forth 152 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: with with an unnamed NFL insider about like, well, actually, 153 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: Trevor's like kind of stunk at practice and that's why 154 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: they were splitting the reps. And I'm like, Okay, well 155 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: if he's if he's been stinking at practice, that's all 156 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: the more reason why he needs more reps. You know 157 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: who's been eve the worst than Trevor Lawrence in these 158 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: preseason games, Gardner minshew, So get the get the dude ready. 159 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: This was all silly, and I just don't want them 160 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: to ruin, uh, Trevor Lawrence. With Darryl Bevel and this 161 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: Jaguars offensive line, I think people might be overreacting a 162 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: little bit much, but not to the Urban Meyer sideline demeanor. 163 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: Like I think he's gonna have a really hard time here. 164 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: Even if they overachieve, and like when six seven games, 165 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: he just seems like he's so tightly wound. I don't 166 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: know how that's going to transfer to his young quarterback. 167 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: This is a team that lost fifteen straight games to 168 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: finish last season. This is not a quick fix, not 169 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: a quick thing that they can turn around. This is 170 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: a long term project. And both urban Meyer and Trevor 171 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: Lawrence are so used to always winning and always being 172 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: with successful programs, So I'm really interested to see how 173 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: they react to losing, because it's inevitable. Um, I mean, 174 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: even the even the first string offense when you look 175 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: at the way that they performed in the preseason, three 176 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: total points in the first half of both of those games. 177 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: So it's not like this team even looks like they're 178 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: going to make any type of jump. But I'm really 179 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: excited for Week one because it's Jags Texans, and I 180 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: think that's going to be real exciting. I mean, you 181 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: couldn't have a better way to set the table, uh, 182 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: if you're urban Meyer against the worst team in football 183 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: most likely, and or or you could look at it 184 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: the other way, which is all right, that's a bad 185 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: al and at best, I feel like, I think you're 186 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: taking too far. I think you've officially now taken it 187 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: too far. You don't think in the NFL, where there's 188 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: not much separation between these teams in general, that that's 189 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: a coin flip game. That's absolutely a coin flip game. 190 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: So if you lose that game, that doesn't feel good 191 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: as is. I don't think like the Jaguars should be 192 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: eighteen point favorites or anything like that, but I am wary. 193 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: There is the Urban Meyer pylon, and I am a 194 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: part of it because I just doomed them at the 195 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: beginning of this conversation. But there are some there are 196 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: some signs here that this could go sideways. But it's 197 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: still also um for the Jaguars a time and their 198 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: fans of great optimism maybe not so much around these parts. Okay, 199 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: it's it's worth pointing out they were missing three of 200 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,599 Speaker 1: their starting offensive lineman, their best three, you know, for 201 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: both of those preseason games. And they are back on 202 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: the field now. You know, one was held out healthy 203 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: and the others are back at practice, and that's huge. 204 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: We strive to balance on this podcast and there that's huge. 205 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: But I I questioned this coaching staff from minute one, 206 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: not just Bevel, but the defensive coordinator. And I just 207 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: think it could be a learning process with Urban Meyer 208 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: got and um CBS sports is Pete Prisco reports some 209 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: Jaguars players aren't thrilled about head coach Urban myers coaching 210 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: style and practice tactics. And speaking of the Jaguars, they 211 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: placed first round pick Trivis a t N on injured reserve. Oh, 212 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: she strikes again, that Harlot, Liz Liz Frank Frank, I 213 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: hate her the true which Liz Frank strikes again. It's 214 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: a serious foot injury. There was hope that it would 215 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: be a less severe sprain, but it's a tear, sir, 216 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: a dream necessary and twenty two years old. His rookie 217 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: season wiped out as he's moved injured reserve, making ineligible 218 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: to return. Colleen. This this just sucks. I mean, this 219 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: is Trevor Lawrence is still locked and loaded at number 220 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: one overall. But a t N was the other part 221 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: of this offense that everyone was excited about. And it's 222 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: good news for I guess James Robinson fantasy owners, but 223 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: everybody else bad. Yeah, it's and you know, I feel 224 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: like I came out in this podcast and really just 225 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: maybe I'm not being fair to Jags fans at this point, 226 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: but this is really tough to swallow for them. And honestly, 227 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: this pick, though, kind of surprised me when it happened 228 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: because it was their second first round pick and they 229 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: already had James Robinson, and I know that Urban Meyer 230 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: wanted to use him at wide receiver and do some 231 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: type of like Percy Harvin situation like he had before 232 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: because he was so explosive e t N. But Urban 233 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: was I think really upset and he even said that 234 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: they didn't get Cadarius Tony in the draft, the wide 235 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: receiver that the Giants got, and so E t N 236 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: kind of found it kind of felt like a panic 237 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: move a little bit for me. And this this is 238 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: awful for him just as a player to lose his 239 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: rookie season. UM. But James Robinson, it'll be it'll be 240 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: good for him at the running back spot. He broke 241 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: the record for undrafted rookies with over like fourteen hundred 242 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage last year. He was really good. He 243 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: was a real surprise. UM. But it's it's a bummer 244 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: for the offense in general because having E. T N 245 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: out there would have maybe made things easier for Trevor 246 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: Lawrence and this offense as a whole to make this 247 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: ball move right. E t N to me, is the 248 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: perfect like way to look at urban Meyer's struggles so far. 249 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: It's not his fault. E t N has never been 250 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: hurt in his life, seriously, So it's it's terrible luck. 251 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: And as Dan mentioned, if you get put on I 252 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: R after all the cuts, which are next Tuesday, they've 253 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: changed the schedule, then you can be on short term 254 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: I R and come back in three weeks. But this 255 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: this means you're out for the season. Not only did 256 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: they draft E. T N, he was and as a 257 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: third string runner right now because they took Carlos Hyde, 258 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: Irban Meyer's old buddy from Ohio State, and it's you know, 259 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't know, he was your third 260 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: string runner and the whole like receiver thing which you 261 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: mentioned at the top. They like asked Darryl Bevil about that, 262 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: and they're like he was just like, yeah, this is 263 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: the NFL. He's a running back. It's like, you know, 264 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: they put him out there for about three practices and 265 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: it's like, of course he can't compete with actual slot 266 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: receivers as a true receiver doesn't mean you can't split 267 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: him out, and that they weren't going to use him, 268 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: and that he might have a good career. Who knows, 269 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: but it was just a strange pick and I feel 270 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: I feel bad for him. You missed that rookie year. 271 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it will affect their team much. I mean, 272 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: they're running games, should be fine with Robinson and Hyde. 273 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: In other running back news, we touched on it briefly 274 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: in the Fantasy Extravaganza, but we'll hit on it again here. 275 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: Sony Michelle on the move from the New England Patriots 276 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: to the Los Angeles Rams. The former first round pick 277 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: taken one pick before Lamar Jackson in has been essential 278 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: Los Angeles in exchange for conditional UH picks in tw 279 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: only two fifth and sixth round conditional picks. And this 280 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: is something Greg that we were kind of edging toward. 281 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: It felt like all through the summer, once cam Akers 282 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: went down with the Achilles hair, that the Rams were 283 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: going to get a veteran presence in that backfield. It's 284 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, are you a little surprised that the Pats 285 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: pulled the plug on Michelle as a former first round 286 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: pick Damian Harrison Harris broke out last year, but he's 287 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: been a guy that struggled to stay on the field. 288 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: You take away some depth there as well. No, because 289 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: he's because um, they're so deep at running back. They 290 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: really like Romandre Stevenson was who was a fourth round pick. 291 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: They have this guy j J. Taylor the second time 292 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: he's been on the team, undrafted guy from last year. 293 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: He's like five ft three. He's my hero, and they're 294 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: not picking up his option either. You know, they have 295 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: they have James White. Uh, they just have a lot 296 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: of bodies and Michelle's looked like really good in the preseason, 297 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: supposedly had a good camp, so I think it could 298 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: be a win win. They actually changed the trade terms 299 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: since the time we trained we did the Fantasy Spectacular. 300 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: The NX was like, no, you're not Fantasy extravagance. You're 301 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: not allowed to trade conditional compens and tory picks. The 302 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: Rams and the Patriots were told by the NFL you can't. 303 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: So the trade is officially a fourth round pick and 304 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: the sixth round pick, which seems a little better for 305 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Maybe they had they had some leverage here 306 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: after the league was like not what you guys in 307 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: the NFL, I don't know. It was very common. When 308 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: I read the whole thing, it was complicated because basically 309 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: the Rams were counting on getting this conditional pick that 310 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: they would give to the Patriots, but they didn't have 311 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: it yet because you know, the formula hasn't been said 312 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Is like, now you can't do that. Uh. 313 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: And so yeah, they're getting two picks for Michelle, which 314 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: is fine, but let's not overreact. I mean, these are 315 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: still two picks of guys who will be likely to 316 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: make the Patriots team whenever they take. Let's calm down. 317 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, I would not be surprised has a very 318 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: good year for the Rams and is a factor because 319 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: it's a it's a run friendly team. Well, they just 320 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: really needed someone to spell Darryl Henderson there and Matt 321 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: Stafford he's never had a running game, and then he 322 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: finally comes to l A and cam Akers goes down, 323 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: which is such unfortunate timing. So I think bringing in 324 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: Sony made a lot of sense. That he compliments Darrell 325 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: Henderson really well, and it also obviously makes sense for 326 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: the Patriots too. We could have told you. I feel 327 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: like even a month ago you could see that this 328 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: was going to happen. I was kind of surprised that 329 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: it didn't happen sooner. Um, but when it did go down, 330 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: it just like it just makes sense for both teams. Well, 331 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: it's because less Need and Sean McVeigh were both there 332 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: in the stadium along with Dan Hansis for one of 333 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: Dan's favorite games of all time, thirteen to three, the 334 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: greatest Patriots super Bowl victory of all time, Sony Michelle 335 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: starting running back and you know, finishing a great postseason run. 336 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean, if I were a man of extreme wealth, 337 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: I would have given a refund to every fan in 338 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: that building, including Patriots fans. Fans loved it. You just 339 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: get used to good competitive super bowls now. Um so 340 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: when a real stink or hitch you in the face 341 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: like a hard molly wop, it's like everyone does, how 342 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: come football is not how it used to be back 343 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: when men played. It's like there's there's super bowls, uh 344 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: three through you know, seventeen for you right there. How 345 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: about I'll use your own like extreme psychology that you 346 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: try to pull all the time that says more about 347 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: you than it says about me. You always bring up 348 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 1: that game and how bad it was, and you know, 349 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: people complain about it. It is my favorite. It is 350 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: my favorite Patriots super Bowl though other than the first one, 351 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: though it really is. It really was such a Greg 352 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: take but um and other Patriots news. Mac Jones has 353 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: had all week to work with the first team. Cam 354 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: Newton is now back as of Thursday with the team 355 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: after his COVID mix up. It was labeled a misunderstanding 356 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: lad to him missing multiple practices. Uh. Mac Jones gets 357 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: five hundred plus practice reps. It was reported by NBC 358 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: Sports Boston and Tom Curran, friend of the show, had 359 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: this quote, Connie, there's no on field reason for Cam 360 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: Newton to ever take a meaningful regular season snap for 361 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots, while mac Jones is upright and able and 362 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: thankfully Connie. Bill parcels also, I'm excuse me Bill Belichick, 363 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: as he's known to do very open with the media 364 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: on the situation. Let's hear what Bill had to say. Yeah, 365 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: I don't really have anything to add. Dan. You release 366 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: a statement. I think that covered as thoroughly as as 367 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: we can without you know, getting into a you know, 368 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: a lengthy things. So let's leave it at that. What 369 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: does that mean? I don't know. We're referring to Cam 370 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: Newton's situation. Uh, Connie, Uh, do you think it is 371 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: gonna be Mac Jones's job? And if it is, do 372 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: you think it's because of what happened with Cam Newton 373 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: and Covid? Well? Now, now, if Tom Curran's saying that 374 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: it's going to be uh Mac, then I believe Tom 375 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: should be right. So, but but if they're leaning, If 376 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: Tom is leaning that way, and now it feels like 377 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: everything is going in that direction, I've kind of changed 378 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: my mind on it because I originally thought that Cam 379 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: for sure would start the season. I don't know, Am 380 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: I am? I drinking the kool aid? Now at this point? 381 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: Is that? Are you guys feeling that it's going to 382 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: be Mac? No? I I match exactly what you said 383 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: that I really thought it was going to be Cam. 384 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: That Mac Jones has probably exceeded expectations. And I do 385 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: believe Tom that anyone that's watched practice every day comes 386 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: away thinking Mac Jones is already better and watching the 387 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: preseason games, you know, as much as I love Cam 388 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: and and want that like, I believe it because Mac 389 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: Jones looks impressive. I also want to point out the 390 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: history here. Tom Current had one of the best calls 391 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: in sportswriter history. I'll never forget it. I think he 392 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: was at the Providence Journal at the time. He was 393 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: calling for Tom Brady before two one. Drew Bledsoe was literally, uh, 394 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: the highest paid quarterback in the NFL at the time, 395 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: and Tom was calling him a hood ornament that Robert 396 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: Kraft was putting on the front of his car, that contract, 397 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: and he said Tom Brady was absolutely better and and 398 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: what should have won that job to start two thousand one, 399 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: And it's like and it was like Tom Brady's boy 400 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,479 Speaker 1: for the rest of his career for that and so 401 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: I don't know that that sort of context matters to me. 402 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: Here he's I'm sure, I bet he's right, And I'm 403 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: starting to think it will be Mac Jones week one. 404 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: I am wondering though, too, uh Like, as someone who's 405 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: slightly dyslexic, this quarterback competition has been a problem for 406 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: me because Mac and Cam are the same spelled back. 407 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: Where's is that an anagram? Or like, can someone can 408 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: one of the listeners tell me what that is, because 409 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: an antagram, I think is when you can rearrange all 410 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: of the letters. But I feel like there's probably a 411 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: more specific or is that the one that sounds I 412 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: don't know. Somebody clear this up for us. Palindrome is 413 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: a word, phrase or sequence that reads the same backward 414 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: as forward. Okay, great, amazing, Thanks Dan. I should have 415 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: just texted you about this. Should have hit me up. 416 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: Any any palindrome related to Dan Hansas shout out. Thank you, 417 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: Paul Rudd. In other news and other quarterback news, Teddy 418 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: Bridgewater won the dever Broncos starting quarterback John We talked 419 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: about this little bit on Wednesday, but I wanted to 420 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: hear from Vic Foggio and then Greg could do his 421 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: little hype dance again, including a ridiculous treat that he 422 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: said that we can talk about. Let's listen to Vic FOA. 423 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: There'sn't a lot of separation. You know. They both guys 424 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: have good camps um, they both played well, both had 425 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: their down moments, both had their good moments. It was 426 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: good overall for both of them. We just made this decision. 427 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: We think it's for the best for the team right 428 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: now forward. But we have two good quarterbacks, two quarterbacks 429 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: that we can win with, and unfortunately you can't play 430 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: with all. Right, So here's the Greg Rosenthal weets sent 431 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: out yesterday. Was it last night? Greg? No? Right right 432 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: when I had right when the Teddy news happened, and 433 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: right when it happened soon after, I will remember who 434 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: jumped off the bandwagon. When Teddy is starting a divisional 435 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: round game in January, do you want to put good 436 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: Sir A Sangwich on it? I mean, not on them 437 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: making the divisional round? You know what the odds right now, 438 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: because I's still gonna you know, I still believe it, 439 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: but I'm not taking I'm not taking these bad odds. 440 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: Like give me that's like a five to one odds 441 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: right now. You send out that tweet and then if 442 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: I ask you to back it up with a sandwich 443 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: wager and you won't take the sandwich wager. We don't 444 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: even trade the damn sandwiches, I s. And how much conviction, 445 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: How much conviction can you really have in that tweet 446 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: other than like a look at every everyone, even the 447 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: people who usually like Teddy Bridgewater jumped so far off 448 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: the bandwagon by the end of last year and into 449 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: this year. I I truly believe this is a great team. 450 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: And uh, I think they're a super Bowl team if 451 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: they had Aaron Rodgers. But I think they're a playoff 452 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 1: team with with Teddy Bridgewater. Now, then they gotta win 453 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: a game. You gotta win a game. Might have to 454 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: be a road game with Kansas City and that division, 455 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: so that that that could be tough. But I think 456 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: they can get there. I think. I know. I didn't 457 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: say a home game, just starting a divisional round game. 458 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: Come on, take the sandwich, come on, get behind it, 459 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: do it. Peer pressure now? Yeah, Now, I I love 460 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 1: hearing Greg talk about Teddy like just you have a 461 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: different toll about you today. Yeah, like you when you 462 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: talk about Teddy. It's just you have a twinkle in 463 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: your eyes. Greg. It's good to be a fan. You know. 464 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: I need. I need that in my life, just an 465 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: adult rated fandom. Let's ride these Broncos this this year. 466 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: Al right, Oh please please make that a drop Teddy 467 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: Bridgewaters former teammate and Carolin. Remember Teddy Bridgewater was in 468 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: Carolina last year. Wasn't good enough, so they got rid 469 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: of him. Uh he is now um in Denver. But 470 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: Robby Anderson still with the Panthers, and Robbie Anderson's signed 471 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: a very team friendly deal in free agency last year 472 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: and then outperformed that contract and good on the Carolina Panthers, 473 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: who went back to the table with Robbie and pounded 474 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: out a two year, twenty nine and a half million 475 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: contract extension. So he was entering the final year of 476 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: his deal. Now he's got some more security, a little 477 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: more money, and Uh, I always liked Robbie Anderson, and 478 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: I've liked almost everything Joe Douglas has done as GM 479 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: of the Jets, but I never really understood why he 480 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: wasn't more aggressive in trying to keep Anderson in the 481 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: building in Floren Park. The Jets have moved on at 482 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: wide receiver and they're in a good place now. But 483 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson is a good receiver and he's got some swag. 484 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: I like the way he carries himself, and he's a playmaker. 485 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: Uh is a nice move I thought by the Panthers. 486 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: I love it. Undrafted out of Temple, Robbie Anderson was 487 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: It's kind of like it's a win for everyone in 488 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: Philadelphia who's ever been counted out, So that's everyone in 489 00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: Philadelphia basically, but I liked that. Okay, she did the 490 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: who Counted You Out? I once had a boss tell 491 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: me I wasn't memorable enough to be on TV or 492 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: on like camera for anything before, Like I've yeah, I've been. 493 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: But I like that Matt Rule and Robbie Anderson have 494 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: that history together from Temple, and Robbie and Sam Donald 495 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: have the history together from you know, the Jets, And 496 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: it's kind of like when even when you look at 497 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson's touchdown catches, half of them came from Sam Donald. 498 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: So they all have this like nice little thing going 499 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: on together, and I like that. I like that they're 500 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: keeping it going. Yeah, and d J Moore is locked 501 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: in next year fifth year option Christian McCaffrey's there a 502 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: lot of defensive talent. I like Matt Rule. It's like, 503 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: you need an offensive line in a quarterback. That's that's 504 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: what this season is about to see if if they 505 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: have a quarterback. I don't think they have an offensive 506 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: line yet, which could be a problem. A little call 507 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: back to the Fantasy Extravaganza, Greg, who would you rather 508 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: have on your fantasy team in Robbie Anderson or d 509 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: J Moore. Mm hmm is it a wash? It's pretty close. Yeah, 510 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: I mean more just because like he's a little more 511 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: consistent week to week, but in terms of just more receptions, 512 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: but no, not a big difference. I'd rather have Robby 513 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: Anderson on my team, though, I think, you know, on 514 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: a real team. I have to be honest with you, Greg, 515 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: I was a little I was like crossing my fingers 516 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: when the big fish, Evan Silva got all in on 517 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: Sam Donald as a sleeper. I was hoping the gloves 518 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: are gonna come off and you guys are gonna start sparring. 519 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,479 Speaker 1: It didn't quite happen, but I do like that you 520 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: guys are at opposite ends of the spectrum with Sam 521 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: Donald and to see how that all plays out and 522 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: I get to sit it out. Basically getting out of 523 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: the Donald game is really I think, um taking um 524 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: stress levels off me that I didn't need on it 525 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: for your health. Yeah, that's the way to put it. 526 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out how to say it. Thank you, Connie. 527 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: All Right, the Tennessee Titans will be without Ryan Tannehill 528 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: um for a little bit. Potentially he was placed on 529 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: the reserve COVID list. Um he was vaccinated. Um. He 530 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: did speak out to down a Hill earlier heading into 531 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: training camp, saying that he felt he was being put 532 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: upon him uh, the need to be vaccinated. So he 533 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: had said earlier in camp that he was in the 534 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: process of being vaccinated. UM. And if that is the case, 535 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: if he got the JB, that means he'll be back 536 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: rather quickly if he's not showing symptoms. And in other 537 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: COVID news, Uh, Greg, a lot of like stuff going 538 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: on with the Bills. I was on check Show the 539 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,239 Speaker 1: Minus three podcast this week. It was great catching up 540 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: with Dave Damnaschick and Eddie Spaghetti and Um, he had 541 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: thrown out a theory that some of this COVID stuff 542 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: and they've had a lot of issues there with close 543 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: contact and obviously Cole Beasley very outspoken. Um, is that 544 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: maybe the fly in the ointment when you try to 545 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: figure out any way the Bills don't thrive and cruise 546 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: to a division title. Do you think COVID is an 547 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: actual issue that could shipwrecked that team potentially? No, not 548 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: them versus any other team. They're they're over vaccinated. Almost 549 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: every team is at this point. It is. It's really 550 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: the exception not the rule. The players like Beasley and 551 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: and Isaiah Mackenzie, who both talked about getting fined players 552 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: across the league. We're fined fourteen thousand dollars and five 553 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: dollars for not wearing their masks. And the big news 554 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: here is that if they are fine, if they violate 555 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: that again, then they're suspended. Then they can be suspended 556 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: all those twenty five players. So it's not just called Beasley, 557 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: it's it's players all around the league are kind of unnoticed. 558 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: And I think all this COVID stuff is just a 559 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: reminder there's no magical difference between right now in week three. 560 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: So if if Ryan Tannehills having a breakthrough case of 561 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: COVID now and is out five days now, like stuff 562 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: like this is gonna keep happening. It's like, I don't know, 563 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: if you like any any school system, at at least 564 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: l A like where they're testing all the kids at school, 565 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: You're not every single class is going to have one 566 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: or two kids that have COVID at this point, and 567 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: so like even the NFL is just being careful as 568 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: careful as they came. I don't know, It's just it's 569 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: just gonna keep popping up, like I think that's what this, 570 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: Tannehill and all the code. There's a bunch of other 571 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: starters that are on COVID list right now, Harold Landry, 572 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, all around the league. Part of me was 573 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: really optimistic that things would be quieter with COVID this year, 574 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: and now it's obviously not the case at all. But 575 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: it's almost like teams are playing football and they're playing 576 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: COVID like every like we all are at this point, 577 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: and it's quieter, but it's not. It's still gonna get 578 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: in the way, um for sure. How could I mean, 579 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: unless like somehow everyone starts. I don't even know if 580 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: there's a way to be you know, to to avoid it. 581 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean if they I know that 582 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: the Titans started their their protocols changed, so they're requiring 583 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: masking all indoors now, regardless of vaccination status. So maybe 584 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: there is some type of competitive advantage for teams that 585 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,719 Speaker 1: have really strict protocols, and we'll see if that maybe 586 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: pays off. But it's all it's almost like this is 587 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: a whole experiment that nobody really knows what's going to 588 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: happen from it hasn't this been so much fun? Has 589 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: in this these last eight team lets? Hasn't it just 590 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: been so great? Oh? It's the gift that keeps on 591 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: giving up on giving Matt Naggy to Bears fans. Because 592 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: Andy Dawn will indeed start Week one against the Rams, 593 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: and and Andy Dalton will not play in the preseason 594 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: finale um because of it. Instead will be Justin Fields 595 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: who will start the team's final preseason game against the Titans, 596 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: and he'll be playing with the backups. Gregg, where do 597 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: you come down on all this? How you feel about it? 598 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: I know Fields hasn't litt in it. He hasn't lit 599 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: it up here in the preseason. Are you feeling a 600 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: little more comfortable about the Bears decision making here not 601 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: to rush Fields? Or does this seems silly to you? 602 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,719 Speaker 1: It's silly. I I thought Fields looked better compared to 603 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: his box score, more than any of the rookie quarterbacks 604 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: last week. I thought he played quite well if you 605 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: if you really watch snap to snap. The problem that 606 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: both him and Andy Dalton have faced, supposedly in practice 607 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: and in the preseason is that their offensive line can't 608 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: block anyone. You can make different arguments which which guy 609 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: do you want back there in that situation? I don't know. 610 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: I think there's actually an argument that you'd rather have 611 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton in that situation because he gets the ball 612 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: out quicker. That's justin fields as biggest bugaboo. But I 613 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: think it's a problem. It's it's a big problem for 614 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: either one of them. Fields just to me looks good 615 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,239 Speaker 1: enough that I just wanted to just just play him. 616 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: He's going to be playing by week two or three, 617 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: So why I messed around? This is the problem with 618 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: so many teams that have rookie quarterbacks or young inexperienced 619 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that they usually don't have good offensive lines because 620 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: they're usually teams that are rebuilding. And we mentioned at 621 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: the top of the show with Trevor Lawrence. We saw 622 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: it last year with Joe Burrow. That's the situation now 623 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: in Chicago, and I don't I don't know how rookies 624 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: can progress when they don't have time, especially when the 625 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: game is so much faster in the NFL. It's a 626 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: really tough spot for a lot of the young quarterbacks. 627 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: And it's really a rare, lucky situation for a rookie 628 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: to come in to a team that has a decent 629 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,719 Speaker 1: offensive line. But this has been the plan for the 630 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: Bears the whole time. They haven't wavered. Dalton played the 631 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: most preseason drives among projected starting quarterbacks the entire you know, preseason, 632 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: so you could tell that he's just like, this's what 633 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: we're doing. The fields hasn't played with the starters at all. 634 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: That part of it seems weird to me, not just 635 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: in the games, but in practice, like they're not even 636 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: giving him a chance. It's like, why not, because he's 637 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: gonna be playing with those guys eventually. It's just playing. 638 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: He's also running a ton more than he did in college. 639 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: He looks so good as a runner. Do you think 640 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: Matt Naggie just thinks that he has a better shot 641 00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: of keeping his job if they play Andy Dalton. No, 642 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: maybe it's like this loyalty thing. I think he. I 643 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: think he thinks that and Dalton is gonna better than 644 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: people think, And I think he feels some sort of 645 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: strange loyalty and and that he made a decision and 646 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,280 Speaker 1: he's just gonna stick to it even if he changes 647 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: it after two weeks, which feels like where it's gonna go. Well, 648 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 1: it's Charlie win right like that, that's over everything, and 649 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,760 Speaker 1: whether or not us on the outside or Bears fans 650 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 1: that are screaming and booing Andy Dalton in preseason games 651 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: see it like Naggi has his opinion. He's the guy 652 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: in the big chair, and he thinks that Dalton is 653 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: the guy right now and it might be proven proven 654 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: to be a mistake. But guess what Bears fans if 655 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: if he's messed up on this and it turns out 656 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: Justin Fields is awesome, probably will help toward getting this 657 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: guy out of town if you don't like him anyway, 658 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: it Fields canna play. It's all gonna work out, you know, 659 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: it just might be temporary. I think just as like 660 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: a football fan, I think all of us are a 661 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: little bummed out about Sunday Night Football Week one because 662 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: you wanted to have Justin Fields playing against the Rams 663 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 1: here in Hollywood Park. But that's life. You never we'll 664 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: be we'll be taping a podcast and they'll be a 665 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,760 Speaker 1: live football game, you know, like a hundred yards away. 666 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: If it's something we're in the studio, that is pretty wild. 667 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 1: I don't know why I keep picturing like Matt Naggie 668 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: and Andy Dalton doing some type of Blood Brothers packed 669 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: like in in the Hangover, like they go they go 670 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: out and they I don't know, it just feels like 671 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: so weird this situation in general. I was just imagining 672 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: suddenly thinking about that Sunday night. What if the Rams, 673 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, they're always looking for extra pop, you know, 674 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,720 Speaker 1: they're they're pretty friendly. What if they built like a 675 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: a temporary podcast studio that could like be above the 676 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: field as the game is being played, Like we're we're 677 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: like a hundred feet up that don't like that stadium, 678 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: it's too dangerous, Like we're in the middle of the 679 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: scoreboard or something like that, and they're just like, oh, 680 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: up there, they're taping the around the NFL podcast and 681 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: where high tension wires. How about the like the the 682 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins plexiglass cube that he's gonna in this season. 683 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: Put us in that make it sound proof, of course, 684 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: but makes poke poke some holes in that make sure 685 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: we don't suffocate, and then you just slide us on 686 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: the high tension wire right over midfield. Yeah. Yeah, like 687 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: Lady Gaga, even you guys could just be suspended, right, 688 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it could be during the pregame. If 689 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: you don't want us to be like interrupting, that could 690 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: be okay, Or during halftime, you'd like turn our the 691 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: volume up so everyone can hear the podcast. You know, 692 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: we could where all the Lady Gaga Diamond Cat suits 693 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: from the Super Bowl performance and then we just we 694 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: just jump off and then there's a sudden smash cut 695 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: to like a uh finally in the news. Oh yes, 696 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: the International Series is back for the NFL. There are 697 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: two games in London, my New York Jets against the 698 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons and the Miami Dolphins at the Jacksonville's Jaguars 699 00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: October and October seventeenth, respectively at Tottenham Hotspur Stay Um 700 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: tickets one on sale this week, and I've been told 701 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: by a reliable source in this realm that there were 702 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: sixty people uh in the waiting room when the tickets 703 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: went on sale. Almost everything gobbled up immediately. But if 704 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: you were interested in going to see one of the 705 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: London games, head over to NFL dot com or NFL 706 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: dot com slash UK slash London hyphen Games and there 707 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: might be some tickets still available. But that's that's great. 708 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: That's the one thing. Um. Those stadiums are always filled, 709 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: and we've been lucky enough to go twice now and 710 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: we're hoping to go again in October. Um, those stadiums 711 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 1: are always filled and it's always a great environment, and 712 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: it will be again this year. Right, I've seen crowds 713 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: there that are better than some Super Bowl crowds, not 714 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: that it's not an exaggeration. What time does that kick 715 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: off West Coast? Is that like one of the sixth 716 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm doing the pregame show for that, so I think 717 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: I have to get into the studio at like four 718 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: am or something, so tune in everybody to thirty in London. 719 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: So I guess he has six thirty on the Left Coast, 720 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: and I think they tickets might actually all be gone now, 721 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: but it's worth checking out, Um, if you are looking 722 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: to go and you haven't invested in that yet. Before 723 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: we go, that's what's happening in the news, and we 724 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: are trying to get there. We're trying to get there 725 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: to London. We were trying to clear some hurdles, but 726 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: it's certainly it's it's in play before we go. I 727 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: wanted to share something from Hard Knocks this week, Um 728 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: and Ricky, why don't we play it out? Um?

No, that's different. 732 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 1: That would be very rude for me to say that. Dude, 733 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 1: that is not what I'm referring to. No, you didn't 734 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: wear under armour to school when you were a teenager, 735 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 1: to quote Tuck in the Chub, Nope did not. Getting 736 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: this is different? Um, I think you might relate to it. 737 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 1: Here is deep thoughts with Dak Prescott. Hit it ricky. 738 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: When I was younger, I used to be scared of 739 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:22,760 Speaker 1: people in costumes, anybody in a costume. I'm talking decently 740 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: old too, like middle school. I wasn't sure. I don't know, 741 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:33,919 Speaker 1: I just had ahead. I used to think that would 742 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: be the best way to injure or hurt somebody if 743 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: you wanted to. You think that's that person in the costume. 744 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,760 Speaker 1: You don't know who that is. He's up to something. 745 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 1: That's why I never did anything haunted. I used to 746 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: tell my mom that's the perfect place to kill somebody. 747 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: Why would I do that? I told her that she understood. 748 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: Never made me. Y'all think it's a fake chainsaw.
