Uh wow, 4 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: that was that was entertaining. The Seattle Seahawks and the 5 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals have just played in two just riven in games 6 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: so far. That that was fun. Uh Seattle really is 7 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: just you put them in prime time. They live up 8 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: to the hype. We we will dive into this game 9 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: really on both sides.

I have a coach that 12 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: I think the Chargers should go after after this offseason. 13 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: Clearly they're gonna need one. Anthony lynn Is you know, 14 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: gonna be done John Gruden. They paid him a lot 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: of money. By far, his biggest chance to have his 16 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: biggest win this weekend Sunday night against the Chiefs in 17 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: in a very very big game. Three for the money. 18 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: Will dive into I'll just I'll hit like four or 19 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: five games just really quick.

You know, 29 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: Seattle reminds me of it hit me tonight watching them, 30 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: they kind of remind me of Seal Team six. Because 31 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: you're watching him, you go, They're not gonna pull this off. 32 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: This did not go their way tonight. Oh something went 33 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: wrong and they always find a way to come out victorious. 34 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: Do you know what Seal Team six winning and take 35 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: out Osama Bin Laden. They had practiced in Virginia Beach, 36 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: like you know, months, they built the hut where he was. 37 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: They had gone through like a hundred fifty different ways 38 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: the mission could go, just like you do in a 39 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: practice during the week of NFL right or any football 40 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: he could be high school. You go through all the 41 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: different scenarios. Yet when the game comes, it never looks 42 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: the same. Well, one thing was Seattle, and they have 43 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: played in the craziest games really over the past decade. 44 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: You're watching him, You're like, they're gonna screw this up. 45 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: They're not gonna they're not gonna win this game, and 46 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: they always come out victorious. Seal Team six. They went 47 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: to go get Osama, the helicopter crashes. Everyone inside the 48 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: building knows they're there. You know what happened when the 49 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: dust settled, there was a bullet between Osama's eyes. I'm 50 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: watching the game to night, just like I've watched in 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: the game for the last basically five or six years. 52 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: Ever since it's really become Russ's team. You never think 53 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: they're gonna pull these games out, and they constantly pull 54 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: them out of their ass. I don't know if it's 55 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: what they do during the week. With Pete Carroll, clearly 56 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: they trained different. Clearly Russell training is different. I don't 57 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: know how they do it. Their defense can't cover anyone 58 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: until they have to, then they make plays. But there 59 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: was a stat they were seventy and three when leading 60 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter. Think how many since Pete 61 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: Carroll has been the head coach. Think how many times 62 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: over that period of time they've lost the lead. It's 63 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: look crazy. Rusco's Houdini, And tonight it wasn't russ it 64 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: was the defense. It was Carlos Dunlap sacking uh Kyler 65 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: Murray basically then the game, but the defense had makes 66 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: several plays on that final drive because they get the 67 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: ball back. I go, I think Arizona is gonna score. 68 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: You always think Seattle is gonna lose. They're basically the Chargers, 69 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: except they win all the games. I think they're gonna 70 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: go right down the field, Cliff's gonna go for two, 71 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: Kyler's gonna run it in, and Seattle is gonna get 72 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: walked off. Of course not. You think Seal Team six 73 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: when the when the helicopter crashed. Not We're going down. 74 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: We're not gonna pull this off. Hell no. For whatever reason, 75 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: Say what you want about Pete Carroll, his teams consistently 76 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: play in the most batshit crazy games in the NFL. 77 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: Consistently them in the Chargers. The differences the Chargers, whatever 78 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 1: they're doing to train Monday through Saturday is not working. 79 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: They always lose, and they have been losing pretty consistently, 80 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: for the last several years. Seattle, on the other hand, 81 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: has played in these wild games even since like they 82 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: you know, the first iteration of the l Ob Crew 83 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: up until tonight, and it feels like they win eight 84 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: out of ten of them. I don't know what it is. 85 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: You know, you've heard all these stories. I've never read 86 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's book. I've actually never I don't think you 87 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: ever been to a practice even when he was at USC. 88 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: The competition Tuesdays, the craziness, the shooting baskets, whatever it comes, 89 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: will staying loose, but factoring in the competition, it works 90 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: because their guys don't freak in these moments where I'm 91 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: on couch, I think, and they're gonna lose. Kyler's Kyler. 92 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: They can't stop him right now. They got no chance. 93 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: Their defense stinks. And every time I say their defense stinks, 94 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: they're two linebackers. KG Wright and Bobby Wagner just make 95 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: big plays. I mean, those guys are studs. Carlos Dunlaugh. 96 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: They trade for him, he makes big plays. Jamal Adams, 97 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: while he's a flawed player, he comes through. It really 98 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: is a testament Like Seal Team six. The reason they 99 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: win is not on the day of the mission. When 100 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: they take out the bad guy, they win. When they 101 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: train anyone that's studied or read about, you know, seals 102 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: and Marines, it's in the training. That's why football has 103 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: so much in common with the military. That's why the 104 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: that's why NFL people they love people in the military. 105 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 1: They have a lot in common with them. The discipline, Uh, 106 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: what it's like, you really before you go to battle, 107 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: before you play a game, you spend so much time 108 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: working leading up to it. In Seattle, whatever they do, 109 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: it works because I really can't put my finger on it. 110 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes they're off fence, looks like ship Russell just runs around, 111 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: throws it up. Their defense, I mean gives up these touchdowns. 112 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: On the one where Kyler threw a back to kind 113 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: of get them back in the game that there wasn't 114 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: a soul within thirty feet of them. You're like it, 115 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: it looks so terrible, but for whatever reason, they never 116 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: ever crumble. I I really think that's Pete Carroll's probably 117 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: the greatest compliment I can give them. When the games 118 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: get the craziest, it's kind of when his teams play 119 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: the best, and I know what big picture They've only 120 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: won one Super Bowl. They obviously had the one where 121 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: rustled through the pick. But I think for when you 122 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: look at the totality of the data that we have 123 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: on the franchise and under Pete's leadership, it truly is incredible. 124 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: Because they don't have their A game. I mean, now 125 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: part of it. I mean, there's just kind of a 126 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: flawed team. They're a game like, they don't have that 127 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: many good players, especially on defense. But man, that they 128 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: find a way to win these games. And what else 129 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: can I say about Kyler Murray, Uh, He's just electric. 130 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: He's fun to watch. Listen. I'm not the biggest Cliff 131 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: Kingsbury guy, but I had to stop watching him coach 132 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: the game the night is that, you know, and everyone 133 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: everyone came back to me on Twitter, Well he got 134 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: ma homes. It's way easier for him, probably to be 135 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: an NFL coach than it was the coach of Texas 136 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: Tech because at Texas Tech all of his best players 137 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray, Hopkins, Kenyan Drake. He couldn't have gotten 138 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: these guys at Texas Tech, people like, well, he got 139 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: my homes. My homes. Two next two best offers were 140 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: Houston and Rice. He didn't get guys that were going 141 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: to Clemson. I mean Kyler when he went to Texas, 142 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: A and m uh Hopkins went to Hopkins went to Clemson, 143 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: Drake Kenyan Drake went to Alabama. He has talent on offense, 144 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: you know Christian Kirks and Texas and m guy. He 145 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: does have a lot of talent on offense. And even 146 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons, who you know, had kind of a coming 147 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: out party night, made some plays. Now granted some of 148 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: the place came right at him, but I'll give him credit, 149 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: like you just make some plays like he wouldn't have 150 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: sniff that guy. It actually is like it's harder, I 151 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: think for a guy coming from Ohio State, from Oregon, 152 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: from Alabama, from l s U sometimes to the pros 153 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: because those guys get pet Hill told me this once 154 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: when I was at Fresno State. He's like, you know, 155 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: when you're at USC, he's talking about Pete Carroll. Every 156 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: every signing class he has is like a top ten pick. Right, 157 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: it would be the equivalent in the NFL, like he 158 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: he gets unlimited first rounders. In terms of high school talent. 159 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: When I was at Fresno State, we'd be lucky to 160 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: get like one second rounder. Right, I'm talking about kids 161 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: coming out of high school in terms of like where 162 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: they could go. Most of the guys, you gotta find 163 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: a bunch of gems. You know, we're recruiting four fifth 164 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: six rounders, the equivalent in recruiting when you're a Texas Tech. 165 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: He wasn't getting blue chip talent. Patrick Mahomes has become 166 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: a blue chip player. But coming out of high school, 167 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: do you think Alabama or Ohio State where Georgia we're 168 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: offering him scholarships? No, they weren't. So Kenyan Drake like 169 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: that guy. Can you imagine think about most of the 170 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: people like Texas Tech Mike Leach that they're running backs, 171 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: they don't look like Kenyan Drake. So he's actually better 172 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: suited for the league once he gets Kyler Murray, who 173 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: was just I mean just a special player. And I 174 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: say it all the time, the most underrated attribute of 175 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback. We talked all the time about arm 176 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: strength and being able to make all the throws and 177 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: can you read a defense, which is really important. But 178 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: the thing that we can never quantify, but coaches and 179 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: general managers and your teammates they know it is toughness. 180 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: And tonight he got rolled up on earlier when he 181 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: got slammed on the ground and he clearly got his 182 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: shoulder was not right. He never came out of that game. 183 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: They're working on the sideline, kept coming in. He just 184 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: kept playing through it like he actually earned some more 185 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: of my respect. And I already love the guy. I mean, 186 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a huge fan just as a fan just 187 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,479 Speaker 1: can just sit on the couch and enjoy watching him play. 188 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: And I would imagine if you knew a lot of 189 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: people in the NFL, players or coaches, they would say 190 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: the same thing. Uh they might not say it publicly, 191 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: but like privately, the yeah, I really enjoyed launching that 192 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: guy play, especially people that are in his division. Like 193 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: he's just a fun player. And when you're when you're 194 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: a fun player and then on top of that you're tough, 195 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: then you earn the respect of the league. And tonight 196 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: was a game where Seattle was throwing some haymakers at him, 197 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: you know, sending Jamal Adam NonStop slamming into the ground, 198 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: and that little dude keeps popping up and he keeps slinging, 199 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: he keeps swinging and the one thing about Seattle is 200 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: they might not be quite as physical as they once were, 201 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: but they still come. And uh, I was really really 202 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: impressed with him because sometimes when you get dinged up, 203 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: you see it all the time. Quarterback just kinda doesn't 204 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: have it tonight, not gonna bring it tonight, just you know, 205 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of gonna go try to avoid some hits 206 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: and you're not gonna be able to run all the 207 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: same plays. Like it didn't phaze him at all. He 208 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: just he looked like he was playing normally, which which 209 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: is really impressive. And at the end of the day, 210 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: I was I gave Arizona no shot at the beginning 211 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: of the season. Now they're six and four. Listen, I'm 212 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: still like I bet against Cliff Kingsbury and I definitely 213 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: bet against fans Joseph. But their quarterback is just fantastic. 214 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: And when you have a quarterback this good, like they 215 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: should make the playoffs. And right now, just pulling up 216 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: their schedule, they're six and four. They get the Patriots 217 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: next week, who are probably gonna be five and five. 218 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: That will be a big game at New England. That's 219 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: that's a big game for Cliff. Then they get the Rams. 220 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean, these next two weeks are pretty big, especially 221 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: the Patriots win this weekend, Like all of a sudden, 222 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: you could look up and they can be six and six, 223 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: Like this is time for Cliff. This is a big 224 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: moment for Cliff, these next two weeks, playing Belichick and 225 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: then playing the Ramps. Then you get a little bit 226 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: easier the Giants and the Eagles. The Niners are all 227 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: banged up. Then you get the Rams again. But this 228 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: is a big little stress these next two weeks because 229 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: if they can win one of these games and get 230 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: either to seven and four or seven and five, they're 231 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: in pretty good shape. One story I saw circulating this 232 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: week was Joe Judge, the coach of the New York Giants, 233 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: how had allegedly got into a fight or Mark Colombo, 234 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: the offensive line coach, had fought him and then he 235 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: fired him. And immediately everyone around the New York Giants, 236 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: they go to all the reporters all claimed it was false, 237 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: unequivocally not true. I'm gonna tell you this, I don't 238 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: know if it's true or not, but I do think 239 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: the story is very believable. The coaching profession is very 240 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: high stress. It's very It's full of a lot of 241 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: just crazy dudes. That that's as simply as I can 242 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: put it. Full on crazy dudes in a way. To 243 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: be a good coach, I think you gotta be a 244 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: little nuts. And I've never personally seen two coaches fight. 245 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: I've seen it get damn close, especially when I was 246 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: at Fresno State and I was around Coach Hill, who 247 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: most players who ever played for Coach Hill would all 248 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: tell you, coach a crazy man in a good way. 249 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: I love Coach Hill. Coach Hill changed my life for 250 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: the better, but I always, in a weird way feared him. 251 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: Not like he was physically gonna assault me or whatever, 252 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: but the guy was a badass and no one fucked 253 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: with him, no player, no offensive lineman the other team. 254 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: He was fearless. The best, the two best coaches, obviously, 255 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: I've only worked for two. We're both fearless, and both 256 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: of them were former offensive lineman. The reason I got 257 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: the job with the Eagles was because Pat Hill is 258 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: boys with Andy Reid, and they're different, like their personalities 259 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: are different, but they're both kind of similar in I 260 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't mess with either, and Pat smaller than Andy. But listen, 261 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: I saw Packett damn close get very angry at an 262 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: assistant coach one time. I've seen him go nuts on players. 263 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: And he's a little different, at least when I was 264 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: a round him. His style is a little bit different. 265 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: But they're ain't a soul messing with coach Reid And 266 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: I think part of being a good coach is being 267 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: a little nuts. And Mark Columbo is six ft nine, 268 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: three plus pounds and listen, Joe Judge I was hard 269 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: on when he made coaches run around. If he did 270 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: fight Mark Colombo, which I would not put it past him, 271 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: because I think Joe Judge is a little nuts. Because 272 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: to work for Bill Belichick and to work for uh 273 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: Nick Saban, you gotta be a little crazy. I mean, 274 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: look at some of the coaches that have done that, 275 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: like the must Champs, the Kirby Smarts, the Bill O'Brien's, 276 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. These guys are lunatics. You can't be afraid 277 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: of physical confrontation. Now, most coaches aren't throwing haymakers at 278 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: each other, but i'd imagine it ain't have there been 279 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: fistfights the last several years in the NFL and college 280 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: football of their own staff one million percent, and I 281 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: would imagine most corporate offices now in most businesses aren't 282 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: quite quite as crazy as they once was. Uh, you're 283 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: not getting screamed at. It's kind of a dying just 284 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: the way to treat people and listen. I just think 285 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: part of coaching is you're just constantly in that mode 286 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: and everyone's on edge. The games means so much. The 287 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: difference about coaching with a lot of professions is like 288 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: you lose a game or two or five or six, 289 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: like you could lose your job. So you always feel 290 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: like you're on tilt competing for your job. And then 291 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: most a lot of coaches are former players, big guys, 292 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: big alpha's, big egos, the money's big now, Like it's 293 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: just when I saw that, I said, yeah, it doesn't 294 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: shock me. If anything, I give respect, you know, crazy, 295 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: you'd have to be like I met Joe Judge of 296 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: the Combine, pretty big guy, you know, former quarterback, played 297 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: at Mississippi State. I think Mark Colombo went in the 298 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: first round. He's six ft eight pounds. But do you 299 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: know what like a coach that, Yeah, you know what 300 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: Parcels would have done? Probably fight him, right, Tom Coughlin, 301 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: he might he might fight him. Pat Hill probably fought 302 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: him like that's like, you gotta be a little nuts, 303 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: you gotta be loco, Like I kind of the more 304 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: and more I think about the story, I think it's believable. 305 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: Now were they full on throwing haymakers? Maybe not? Did some? 306 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: Did Colombo? I know? Kim Jones reported he called him something. 307 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: Imagine him this, Mark Colombo. If you're kind of crazy 308 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: like Joe Judge is and Mark Colombo, it gets heated. 309 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: As Kim Jones said, he called him one of the 310 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: worst words in the English language. Let's just say he 311 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: called him a pussy. You don't think that's borderline fighting words. 312 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: We're just two men. I mean, at the end of 313 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: the day, you say to be a professional, and you 314 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: know what I was thinking. You know who probably likes this. 315 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: The Giants. You know, the two best coaches under the 316 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: Mara leadership, Parcels and Coughlin. You know what both those 317 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: two guys have in common. They're nuts, They're crazy. They 318 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: kind of like that. You know the problem with Macadoo, 319 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: he was like a weird crazy he just didn't have it. 320 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: You know the problem with Sherman Schrmer, he was just 321 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: kind of black boring. No one feared him. If if 322 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: word gets out to the players that that that coach 323 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: fought that guy, I mean, Mark Colombo is probably bigger 324 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: than most offensive linemen on their team in the league. 325 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: Like you get some respect that way. And I'm not 326 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: saying that's why he did it. I think he fought 327 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: him because he's probably kind of nuts. I mean, is 328 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: you don't work for Belichick for the last six seven 329 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: years and then come from saving without being kind of crazy. 330 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: I respect it. I'm gonna believe no matter what, no 331 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: matter how many of these reporters tell me it's not true, 332 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna believe there's a sliver a chance that happened. 333 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: And I have a new found respect for Joe Judge. 334 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: I've just watched his team play. I can tell like, yeah, 335 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: he's kinda he's got the good football. And again when 336 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: I say no, it's like I mean that in a 337 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: good way. The best coaches harness it right, Andy, Shawn, Peyton, Belichick, Pete. 338 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: They do it different ways, but they're not normal that 339 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: They're not like you see some assistant coaches. And I 340 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: always knew this, Like you can meet assistant coach like Yeah, 341 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: he's never gonna be a head coach, and I don't 342 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: think it's gonna work now. Times have changed, right, you know, 343 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: there's mcveigh's and even Kyle shanahan, Like they're not screaming 344 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: and yelling at fighting anybody. But the old school ones, 345 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: the guys that came up in the eighties and nineties, 346 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: they're crazy, man. And that's what's weird about Joe Judge 347 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: is he's really like Kyle and mcveigh's age group. Right, 348 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 1: He's in this like what's the thirty, but he's kind 349 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: of wired when you hear him talk like an old 350 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: school guy. I say this about Lincoln Riley all the time. 351 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: When I had him on the show like two years ago. 352 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: I remember talking to him. He's like three years older 353 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: than me, Like Lincoln sounds like fifty five. And I 354 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: remember Bruce Felton was like, yeah, you mean I met 355 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: Lincoln when he was like thirty. I was like, God, 356 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: this guy's an old soul. Like Lincoln's kind of old school. 357 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: And to be a good coach, it's like they're probably 358 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: certain professions where you just gotta be nuts, and sometimes 359 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: being nuts. I think sometimes being nuts is like a 360 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: negative connotation people look down at. I actually always respect it. 361 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: Think about some of the nutty guys right now, I 362 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: think Elon Musk nuts nothing but respect for the guy. 363 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: I think he's freaking awesome. I love the guy. He's 364 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: like one of my favorite humans going. I can't get 365 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: enough of Elon Musk might be the craziest guy going. 366 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I just think if Joe Judge 367 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: went after a guy that big, he's got a chance 368 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: in this league. I respect any one individual or company 369 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: in life that has a big set of balls who 370 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: is not afraid to take big swings. And you know 371 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: what happens when you take big swings, just like in baseball, 372 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: sometimes you hit a home run and sometimes you strike out. 373 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: But if you go up to the plate afraid. And 374 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: I was a terrible baseball player because I always thought 375 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: I was gonna strike out, and I didn't play. He passed. Literally, 376 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: I couldn't hit because I just remember being at the 377 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: plate like I suck. I was awful at it because 378 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: I always thought in my mind, I'm gonna go up 379 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: there and strike out. And then as I've gotten older, 380 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: and once I got actually out of football into radio, 381 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: I got to be around the Stanfordsco Giants and around 382 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,239 Speaker 1: the around the Oakland A's, the good team with like 383 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: a Josh Donaldson and Nasspitis. Even Brandon Moss had a 384 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: bunch of home runs. And the mindset of the Buster Posey's, 385 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: of the Hunter Pences, of the Josh Donaldson's was like, 386 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: they don't go up to the plate thinking they're gonna 387 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: strike out. They go to the plate thinking they're gonna 388 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: hit it hard. And it's why I have nothing but 389 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: respect for like a guy like Jerry Jones, who if 390 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: you read his story when he got the Cowboys, he 391 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: put it all on the line, every single penny in 392 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: nine to buy the Cowboys. You know, I read the 393 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: Bob Iger book during Corona and he made some incredible 394 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: big swinks. He made some misses too, but he went 395 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: after Pixar, he went after Marvel. It chained Disney's business forever. 396 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: But when you do that, it's not Sometimes it's not 397 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: gonna work. But if you go into it with that mindset, 398 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna fail. And I've always hated cheap people, and 399 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: I understand a cheap person that doesn't have much money, 400 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: who is you know, goes somewhere and just questions how 401 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: much things cost or is hesitant device. I get it, 402 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: if you don't have the money, I don't have that 403 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: much respect for people once they get money that that 404 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: are cheap. I just it, honestly kind of ticks me off. Now. Granted, 405 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: my two favorite athletes in life, for Michael Jordan and 406 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods, both are notoriously cheap, and it's the one 407 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: thing about them that I personally would red flag. It's like, 408 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: I get it if you grow up poor, and both 409 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: neither of them grew up with much money. Michael definitely 410 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: Tiger out really either. But once you get around it 411 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: and start getting stupid wealth, Like, come on, guys, leave 412 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: a tip, treat people well with money. You have an 413 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 1: unlimited amount. I get being conservative with money, good businesses 414 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: as are right, you don't just blow it. But I've 415 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: always hated cheap people. And my dad was a farmer, 416 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: and he worked in the farming business my you know, 417 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: thirty four years of life while he was alive, and 418 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: they did a lot of their business from the Sacramento 419 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: area down through like Fresno, the Valley and in the 420 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: Valley which is basically Sacramento down to Bakersfield. It kind 421 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: of goes throughout the entire state of California. Uh, it's 422 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: it's a huge farming area and it's actually really growing, 423 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: you know right now, because people can't afford to live 424 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: in l A or San Francisco. They live in the valley. 425 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: And the most you know one guy in that you know, 426 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: I remember growing up that always hearing stories about one 427 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: of the best businessmen in the valley was a guy 428 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: with the last name Spanos. He owned his family owned 429 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: the Chargers. And this was Dean who now owns the 430 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: Chargers Grandpa. The guy's a legend. And when I was 431 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: at calp Holly, just a little D one double a school, 432 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: John Madden Wants coached there. They donated like ten million 433 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: dollars to help us build the stadium. And again the stadium, 434 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: I would imagine if some of you guys are listening, 435 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: like Florida or Texas or how they're probably stadiums in 436 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: Los Angeles that are that are nicer than Cal Polly's 437 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: football stadium, but relative to what it was, it was 438 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: a huge upgrade. They have a ton of money now. 439 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: Obviously their football team is worth a boatload, but their 440 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: investments over you know, a fifty year period in real 441 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: estate throughout the valley. The farm land, which is very, very, 442 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: very valuable. It doesn't just feed California. There's a reason 443 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: we're a top ten economy in the world because the 444 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: farm land is enormous and it feeds the country in 445 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: the world. I mean part part of it. Obviously not everybody, 446 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying, And it's why I've 447 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: always looked at the Spanos family, who are known to 448 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: be notoriously cheap, as a head scratcher, like I respected 449 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: al Davis. Al Davis did not have any money. The 450 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: only business he owned was the Raiders, and really, if 451 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: you read about how he got it, it was pretty shady. 452 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: You know where I come from. I'd say it was 453 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: good business, but depending on what side of the deal 454 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: you were on, it's kind of like a hostile takeover. 455 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: He did not have cash. He also was not a businessman, right. 456 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: He was a football guy, and they never had any 457 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: extra cash. But every penny that he got a hold 458 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: of he would put towards the football team, he would 459 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: and it would get him in trouble. It was why 460 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: he had especially as the business really took off in 461 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: the two thousands, they had these crazy holdouts. He didn't 462 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: have the cash on hand to pay JaMarcus Russell. They 463 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: did not have the money in the bank. We're Dean 464 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: Spanos when he gets in these knockdown dragouts. Historically with 465 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: all these players, it's not because he doesn't have the money, 466 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: it's because he doesn't want to pay them. Now, I 467 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: understand he might not have Jerry Jones money or Paul 468 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: Allen r I P money or or whatever. But still like, 469 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: I don't respect that. But here's a reality. In two 470 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: thousand twenty, his franchises never been more valuable. He plays 471 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: in this you know what looks like on TV, no 472 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: fans or whatever, so Fi Stadium, which is incredible. He 473 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: put zero money toward it. You know what he did. 474 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: He pays one dollar in rent. Say that out loud. 475 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: He pays one dollar in rent. His football team is 476 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: an absolute shambles. We're are you know, five six days 477 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: away from Thanksgiving. His football team has two wins. Unlike 478 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: the Jets and unlike the Bengals, they actually have good 479 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: football players. They have star players at multiple positions. I 480 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: haven't even brought up the quarterback who I think I 481 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: just read broke a record six straight games as a 482 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: rookie with two or more touchdowns thrown consecutively in the game. 483 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: Like the quarterback is good enough to win and they're 484 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: gonna end up with three or four wins. Here's the problem. 485 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: Historically they always go cheap on coach. Why because they 486 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: have a cheap owner and he doesn't never want to pay. 487 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: And when I worked for the Eagles and Andy got fired, 488 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Lury went big game hunting because you can't just 489 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: go from Andy Reid, do Mike McCoy or an Anthony Lynn. 490 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: That would be a disaster. Now, ultimately the Eagles ended 491 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: up being a disaster under Chip Kelly. But they went 492 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: after the number one guy in the market. And actually 493 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: before they got to Chip Kelly, they had offered Bill O'Brien, 494 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: who everyone thinks now is the village idiot, was by 495 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: far the number one candidate on the market for a 496 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: couple of year period. He said no, you know why, 497 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: because money was not going to be an issue for him. 498 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: Whatever it took to get the best possible coach. In 499 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: his mind, again, Chip Kelly disaster. Now he's kind of 500 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: absolutely stealing U. C l A's money. I mean highway robbery. 501 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly is is like a criminal, but what he's 502 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: doing is legal. He's just stealing cash from a lot 503 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: of people. I mean, the guy's made I think he 504 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: just sold his house to Mookie Betts. He has made 505 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: a stupid amount of coin. I mean, and so I 506 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: saw someone say he hasn't had a winning season since 507 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: two thousand fourteen. Think about that. But this is what 508 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: Dean Spanos and this and the Chargers need to do. 509 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: They need to go big game hunting. And there's a 510 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: guy right now who listen. I I think he's a 511 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: little fraudulent with some of his moral stuff because he 512 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: gets on his high horse, and if you look at 513 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: his teams, they haven't really represented that. But I've never 514 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 1: once disputed that this guy wasn't an elite head football coach. Now, 515 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: granted he's only done it in college. I would gladly 516 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: take the swing on him. And that's Urban Meyer. What 517 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: he did at Florida and what he's what he did 518 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: at Ohio State was like run circles around everyone. He 519 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: knows talent, he knows how to coach, he knows how 520 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: to higher assistant coaches like he's a star head coach. Now, 521 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: here's the thing with Urban Meyer. He's not Anthony Lynn. 522 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: He doesn't cost five million dollars a year, probably costs 523 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: like twelve. But you want to start winning, or you 524 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: want to give your team a chance to win, how 525 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: about you hire a guy like that, Interview a guy 526 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: like that. How about Brian Kelly, who now has proven 527 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: over a decade where you shouldn't be this good at 528 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: Notre Dame given the academic climate in two thousand twenty, 529 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: it's pretty freaking good. We just saw him. Now, granted, 530 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence wasn't playing, but the five star kid was 531 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: beat Clemson. And whether or not they're better than Clemson, 532 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's probably Clemson beat some six or seven 533 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: times out of ten. That's not the point. He's at 534 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: a disadvantage there. I can get anyone into Clemson. I 535 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: can't get anyone into Notre Dame. Anyone listening to Notre 536 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: Dame fan understands that, and I would imagine Clemson fans 537 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: if you acknowledge that. It's it's just a fact. But 538 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: go after these big time guys. Stop going after just 539 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: your four or five million dollar assistant coach. You have 540 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: all this talent. You are in a new market, which 541 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: last time I checked, is a star market. To move 542 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: the needle, you have to win, but not just win, 543 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: win with stars. What it looks like. You gotta star quarterback. 544 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: You got Keenan Allen, you got Joey Bose, you got players. 545 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: While you don't pay anything to play there, you do 546 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: play in a bright light place. Go get a big 547 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: time coach. Go interview Urban Meyer. Now here's the problem. 548 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what the status is the general manager, 549 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: Tom Tolesco. Here's a reality. Urban Meyer is his own 550 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: general manager. So it was a guy like Brian Kelly, 551 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: so it was a guy like Nick Sabans, so it 552 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: was a guy like Dabbo Sweeney. They don't answer to people. 553 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: So I would imagine if Tom to LESCo wants to 554 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: keep his job, he will want to hire you know, 555 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith, Eric Banamy and those guys might be good coaches. 556 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: But I don't I already know that I got a 557 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: chance to win with one of these other guys. Go 558 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: take a big swing. The churchers never take a big swing. 559 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: And a wise man told me a long time ago, 560 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: they said, you know when you die, whether you've got 561 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: a hundred dollars in the bank or a hundred million 562 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: dollars in the bank. Wills Fargo doesn't follow the hearst. 563 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: They don't pour the money in there when they put 564 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: you six ft under. When you have this much wealth 565 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: as a guy, use some of it. Take a big swing. 566 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: Stop being so cheap, because I can tell you right now, 567 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: if the charges go cheap again, they're gonna be what 568 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: they've always been, just middle of the road. Have a 569 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: couple of moments because they got some talent. They'll never 570 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: win shit if they if they open up a checkbook, 571 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: maybe they have a chance to finally get over the hump. Okay, 572 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: speaking of paying big money to get a coach, let's 573 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: shift to you know, arguably one of the biggest games, 574 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: if not the biggest game this weekend in the Raiders 575 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: hosting the Cancie Chiefs, and the one blemish on the 576 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,479 Speaker 1: Chiefs record this year is the Raiders who beat him 577 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: at Arrowhead, which is unheard of. I've been following the 578 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: Raiders really closely for about a decade and that just 579 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: doesn't happen now. Granted, a lot of the games have 580 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: come late in the season when it was really cold, 581 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: and it hasn't fared well for the Raiders, but earlier 582 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: this year they just kind of kicked their ass in 583 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: the second half and and beat him. It was wild. 584 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it was unlike. It's probably one of the 585 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: more shocking games this season that I've watched. And one 586 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: thing Mark Davis did I guess this would be three 587 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: years ago now, is he fired Jack del Rio on 588 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: Week seventeen of the season, fired him as he was 589 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: basically walking off the field, and del Rio had kind 590 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: of made the Raiders credible again. They had been a 591 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: laughing stock for like fifteen years. Miss Picks broke franchise 592 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: in this just ship hole of a of a stadium. 593 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: It was gross. And Mark Davis, who I think at 594 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: the time had already been um confirmed to go to Vegas, 595 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: it was clearly rolling that way, and he took an 596 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: enormous swing for John Gruden paid him a hundred million 597 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: dollars and a big reason he did at is because, 598 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: and he said this before, he thought he's the best 599 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: coach basically in the world. And we can argue that 600 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,959 Speaker 1: it's clearly not true. But to Mark Davis, Jon Gruden 601 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: meant a lot, and it was I think It's fair 602 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: to say, easily the biggest name that Mark Davis could 603 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: get a coach to coach the Raiders. Now, you could 604 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: argue if you were willing to throw a hundred million 605 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: dollars and a lot of people that they might have agreed. 606 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: But if you don't follow the Raiders really closely, people 607 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: probably still would have said. Now and I gave him 608 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: credit because at the time Mark Davis did not have 609 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: the money, and with the pandemic and the way everything's going, 610 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: I mean, hell, he still might not. The Raiders are 611 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: easily the most cash poor franchise in the league. Now 612 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: that's gonna change when eventually the stadium opens up and 613 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: they start getting cash season ticket holders and sponsorships and 614 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But this year, you ain't accepted the money. 615 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: If I'm a sponsor, I ain't give you a cash uh. 616 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: And most if you talk to most of these teams 617 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: like it's you're giving money back, but it's gonna come. 618 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: It's inevitable. Vegas is just a cash cow. The move listen. 619 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: Oakland is a it's just a dump city. Actually it 620 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: has some nice areas, but in terms of the politics 621 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: of it, it's just an embarrassment of a place, and 622 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: I I felt bad for my friends. I knew a 623 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: lot of season ticket holders did uh that went to 624 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: the Colosseum, which if you've never been there, don't waste 625 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: any time ever going. I guess the only time you 626 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: would go would be to an A's game. And uh, 627 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: trust me, most of you don't watch as games. I've 628 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: seen the numbers and about you know, five thousand people 629 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: attend those games, but they had to leave to make 630 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: some money. I felt bad for my friends. I wanted 631 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: them to stay. Selfishly wanted a couple of teams here, 632 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: but it was the right move. And really, an NBA 633 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: team should go and a major league the Oakland A 634 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: should move to Vegas as well, and the NBA should 635 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: move a team to Vegas. Like it's a no brainer. 636 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: Team should be in Vegas. That's that's where they should be. 637 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: They have a hockey team, they now the football team. 638 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: They should get a basketball team, and they should get 639 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: a baseball team. It's uh, it's just it makes too 640 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: much sense. But when you give a guy a hundred 641 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: million dollars, it's more than just putting him on billboards 642 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: and being the most famous guy in your franchise because 643 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: that does have value. For a franchise like the Raiders, 644 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,720 Speaker 1: John Gruden brings value there. He's easily the most famous 645 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: guy in the franchise of all the players, of the 646 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: owner of even the name the Raiders. John Gruden is 647 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: by far their biggest star, so he was worth some 648 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: value there. But ultimately you're paying him to win games, 649 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: and I'll give him credit. Last year, I thought they 650 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: were gonna suck, and they ended up going seven and nine, 651 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: which was much better than I thought, especially after they 652 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: had traded Khalil Mack they had traded to Marii Cooper. 653 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: But this year, even with a horrendous defense and part 654 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: of that, I I like Mike Mayock and I listen, 655 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: he is not the ultimate boss in the franchise that 656 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: They've made some horrendous picks. I mean drafting Cleveland Ferrell 657 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: number four overall when Devin White was on the board. 658 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 1: I'm not just saying that today. I mean we knew 659 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 1: that at the time. It was insane. But I I 660 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: don't know enough about the inner dynamics of John Gruden 661 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: can ultimately he's in charge. That's what happens when you 662 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: make a hundred million dollars, you get to pick anybody 663 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 1: you want. So but the defense is terrible. But still 664 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: they have been able to go six and three and 665 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: they've had some impressive wins. They beat the hell out 666 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: of the Saints, they kind of shoved the Browns around 667 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: on the road, and they beat the Chiefs like they 668 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,240 Speaker 1: are a legitimate playoff team. I think I saw Travis 669 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: Kelsey say today they're playing as well as you know, 670 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: basically any team in the National Football League. Now, that 671 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: might be a little bit of coach speak coming from 672 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: coach Reid, but I think there's some validity there. They're 673 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: they're they're a top ten team in the league right now. 674 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: They're playing really well. If John Gruden can beat the 675 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs and sweep them this year, and he'd be headed 676 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 1: probably to an undefeated con divisional record. He's already beat 677 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: the Chargers, he's already beat the Broncos. He would have 678 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: swept the Chiefs, probably beat those two teams again. He'd 679 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: be six and o in the division. He probably still 680 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: wouldn't win the division because the Chiefs would probably still 681 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: get to like thirteen and three in the Raiders best 682 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: case probably be like eleven and five, But still like 683 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,280 Speaker 1: it would start being really worth this hundred million dollars. 684 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: I would say, I think we could still go back 685 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: and forth and argue if John Gruden has been worth it. 686 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: He's definitely brought buzz to the franchise. But you know, 687 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: this is a huge year. They are in line to 688 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But here's the thing with the a 689 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: f C. If the Chiefs, who are a pretty big favorite, 690 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,439 Speaker 1: especially now that the Raiders defense has basically all gone 691 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: on the COVID list, I think like six or seven 692 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: of the starters have gone on the list. You lose 693 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: this game all of a sudden, six and three, and 694 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: it looks like you're in the driver's seat for like 695 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: the fifth or sixth seed. Well you are six and four, 696 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: and if the Ravens win, if the Colts win, if 697 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: the Browns win, all of a sudden, you're behind the 698 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: eight ball again. In fairness to them, splitting with the 699 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: Chiefs is a win. So even if you don't win 700 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: this game, big picture, you've already done well. But part 701 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,800 Speaker 1: of it, and a lot of people have been d 702 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: mning me like, is the a f C a lot 703 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: better than the NFC? And the answer is yes. The 704 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 1: a f C is a lot more competitive. I mean, 705 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: we've been talking a lot. I thought the Ravens were 706 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: locked to be the number five seed. I don't know 707 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: about that anymore. I can't trust Lamar Jackson or the 708 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 1: passing game. And the Colts this weekend, like they play 709 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: the Packers. Here's the thing, in The's defense is really good. 710 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: Now we can nit pick Philip Rivers and trust me, 711 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: I will, but when it comes to their defense, it's 712 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: top notch. It's fantastic. The Dolphins play the Broncos this weekend. 713 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: The Broncos are a terrible team right now. Now. The Dolphins, 714 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: whenever they play in colder weather, it's not looking at 715 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 1: the weather right now, it's supposed to be like fifty 716 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: two degrees. But if they win that game, and the 717 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: Culture were to win that game, all of a sudden, 718 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: both those two teams were to be seven and three. 719 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: So in the Ravens play the Titans, which you know, 720 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 1: there's a little revenge factor there with the Ravens that 721 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 1: is at home, but no fans, so I don't know 722 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: if it matters. Ultimately, my point is this, he paid 723 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: him a hundred million dollars and I admire that it 724 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: took balls, it took it, he took a huge swing. 725 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: It was. It was something a lot of especially teams 726 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: in his own division like the Broncos, would never do 727 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: something like that. Dean Spanos would rather light his money 728 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: on fire than pay a coach that much money. So 729 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. But when you do get paid that 730 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,240 Speaker 1: type money, you eventually got to like do some big things. 731 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 1: Anything less than a playoff appearance this year would be awful. 732 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: That would be three straight years undergrowd and no playoffs. 733 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: And it feels like they're a lock right now, but 734 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 1: they're not really. Like I said, this week is a 735 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: big swing week. You lose, which you're kind of supposed 736 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: to lose, and all these other teams win. Now you're 737 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: behind the Ape Paul, and they still have Miami and 738 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: Indie on the schedule. So the pressure for Gruden when 739 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: you make this type money, Like part of the reason 740 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: Andy Reid makes all this money, you're Bill Belichick makes 741 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: all this money, or Sean Payton or Pete Carroll make 742 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: all this money. They go to the playoffs every single year. 743 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: And I gave Gruden a past the last two years 744 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: their team sucked. Part of that was self inflicted. I 745 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: mean he did trade clear Mack, he did trade a 746 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: Mark Cooper, But like he's building his own team. But 747 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: now every single guy on this team is his handpicked player, 748 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: every single guy. There is not a player on the 749 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: roster in two thousand and twenty the John Gruden does 750 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: not want on the roster. So when you had that 751 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: type power and you're making that type money, like, you 752 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: gotta get something done. And even all if he makes 753 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs, I'll tip my hat that'd be for the Raiders, 754 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 1: that's a big deal. Be the second time they made 755 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs and basically two decades. That's a big deal 756 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: for the Raiders. But like you gotta get there. You 757 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: know this is you've got seven seeds now as of 758 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: right now, potentially go to eight. But if we stay 759 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: with seven seed formula, like they gotta be. They gotta 760 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 1: be one of those seven teams because they're clearly good enough. 761 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,959 Speaker 1: They have one of the best offenses in the league, 762 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: and they gotta quote unquote ten million dollar coach. So 763 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 1: it's time to get it done. Okay, let's just fly 764 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: through some thoughts on the upcoming weekend's games. And I 765 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: talked about on Tuesday, show the pressure with every loss, 766 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: regardless that the guy's the Super Bowl champ is gonna 767 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: grow on Doug Peterson because they can't get rid of 768 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. They've invested too much. They play the Browns 769 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: on the road. That's a tough game. I mean, the 770 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: Eagles are an underdog basically three and a half four 771 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: points depending on where you look, and they're just not 772 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 1: playing very well. I mean, the Eagles are not a 773 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: good football team. I just how can I envision them 774 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: winning this game? I really can't, especially with the way 775 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: Carson has played. Just turns the ball over too much. 776 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: So the Eagles lose this game. There are three six 777 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: and one and just in shambles, And I say, Doug 778 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: Peterson is just kind of fighting for his job, and 779 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: the Browns would be six or excuse me, seven and three, 780 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: basically in the driver's seat for the playoffs. Uh. Joe 781 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: Burrow had a great quote this week that was like, uh, 782 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: you know what, in a season that's quote unquote kind 783 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: of a lost season, you guys are gonna win any games? 784 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,760 Speaker 1: What can you take away from it beside wins and losses? 785 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: And his response was simple, wins and losses. I love 786 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: that he's a no fluff guy. I love that he's 787 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: a no like cliche, all the bullshit like Russell Wilson. 788 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 1: I love Russell Wilson the player. He's like a robot character. 789 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: He's like he's like a fictional movie character. The way 790 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: he talks, it's not real. I like real, So what 791 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: do we do on this show? I just like real people. 792 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: They can just have normal conversations. They can just talk 793 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 1: that aren't fake. Like watches Sean Payton press conference. Why 794 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,760 Speaker 1: Andy Reid press conference? He'll watch a Gruden press conference, 795 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: watches Kyle Shanahan brid They can just talk in their 796 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 1: own ways. But it's like it's not they don't just 797 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: living cliches. And I don't expect players and coaches to 798 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: like give me inside information, but just be real. And 799 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow his team sucks. I mean, they're gonna win 800 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: probably four games, Max, But god, I appreciate just how 801 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: honest and candid the guy is. If I'm if I'm 802 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: a Bengals fan, I am doing cartwheels that we ended 803 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 1: up with this guy on our team. Uh, Lions Panthers. 804 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: I just don't care. Now, it's kind of crazy. The 805 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 1: Lions win that game, they'd be five and five Steelers Jacks. 806 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: I mean the Jacks are one and eight, even though 807 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: they're kind of a competitive one and eight Steelers. More 808 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,800 Speaker 1: than likely we're gonna go Tenano. Let's get to the 809 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: big game or a big game. Titans at the Ravens, 810 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: and you know they played each other in the playoffs. 811 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: Titans kicked their ass. We all saw it. And it's 812 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: kind of ever since then. And I wouldn't say a 813 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: referendum on Lamar, but it started trending in the wrong direction. 814 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,240 Speaker 1: If Lamar was a stock, the stock had peaked before 815 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: he went into that game, and it has been on 816 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,280 Speaker 1: a tailspin since. Now the Ravens are at home, no fans, 817 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: So it's just what does it really matter? The Titans, 818 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 1: I just don't know if they're that good. Their defense 819 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: is not good. They I think they're one of the 820 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: worst third down defenses in the league. Uh, they just 821 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: if Derrick Henry doesn't go nuts, and he can go nuts, 822 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: and he did last year against the Ravens, they struggle 823 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: to win. Now the Ravens, I go, well, it's not 824 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 1: like I trust Lamar. He's just kind of been a 825 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 1: shell of what he was last year. To me, there's 826 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: a coin flip game. I mean, the Ravens are almost 827 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,840 Speaker 1: a seven point favorite. I don't know, but here's what 828 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: I do know. If the Ravens win this game, they're 829 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: seven and three, we feel good about them being a 830 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: lock wild card. They lose this game, there six and four. 831 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the Titans win, an the Colts 832 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 1: were to win, and the Raiders and the Browns win. 833 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: I guess the Raiders probably might not win against Chiefs, 834 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: but you start going got the Dolphins were to win 835 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're behind the eight ball to 836 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: get a playoff seat. This game is massive. I I'm 837 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: just I would pick the Ravens probably in this game, 838 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: but I have zero faith right now in the way 839 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 1: they're playing offense. Patriots had the Texans, you know what's crazy, 840 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: just like two or three weeks ago, We're like, you know, 841 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 1: and I did myself, and I still don't think the 842 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: Patriots have talent on their roster. Like you know, it's 843 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: gonna be really hard for Belichick to win five games 844 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden. He wins this week, he's five 845 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: and five. He's five and five with one of the 846 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: shittiest rosters in the league. Now he hand picked every player, 847 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 1: but the opt outs, the just the missed on the dress. 848 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: His team stinks and I don't know, I mean New 849 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: England's favorite in the game. I just I'll be shocked 850 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,760 Speaker 1: if the Texans win this game. Here here's another elephant 851 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: in the room. Shaun Watson. Has him been good this year? 852 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 1: You know he has. He has eighteen touchdowns, but when 853 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 1: you watch him, he's just he's not quite the same 854 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: guy is to me that dropping his head in the 855 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: pocket when he scrambles around. It's just I feel something 856 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: on the eye test doesn't pass. For a guy that 857 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: we thought was gonna be like a top five quarterback, 858 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 1: he has not been that guy this year. Now, coach fired. 859 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 1: You have the preacher Jack Easterby running the franchise. Belichick 860 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 1: then says, he's not a personnel guy, some weird chick 861 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 1: Romeo Cornell just terrible head coach. It's not I'm not 862 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,280 Speaker 1: putting it all on him. The Texans already joke franchise. 863 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 1: I mean they traded away DeAndre Hopkins, probably the second 864 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,240 Speaker 1: best player in the franchise history behind J. J. Watt, 865 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 1: but still like that they need. The key to the 866 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:49,320 Speaker 1: franchise is him. It's it's all about him. Uh, Dolphins 867 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: at the Broncos. I mean, the Dolphins win this game. 868 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 1: They are seven and three, seven and three, and I 869 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: think Brian Flores and I know probably the Steelers are 870 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,320 Speaker 1: gonna be hand of no. But I think even Steeler 871 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: fans will tell you, yeah, if you gave the Coach 872 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,839 Speaker 1: of the Year to Brian Flores, we we wouldn't be mad. 873 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: You know. That's that's an incredible coaching job. Jets Chargers gross. 874 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 1: I guess I'll watch for Herbert. I mean I won't 875 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 1: actually watch, but I'll pay attention. This game is big. 876 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: Packers at the Colts. Uh. You know, Aaron Rodgers twenty 877 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: six touchdowns this year, He's having one of his best 878 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 1: seasons and years. But when you watch the Packers, their 879 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,319 Speaker 1: defense leaves a little something to be desired. They can't 880 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: stop the run. And I think people like me go, 881 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 1: you know, clearly their offense when healthy, is good enough 882 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,359 Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl, But I don't have faith 883 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: in their defense, literally literally none. Mike Petton clearly not 884 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 1: a very good defensive coordinator who just a year or 885 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: two ago, I thought was pretty good, but you ask 886 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,719 Speaker 1: any Packer fan, they want him gone. The Colts, who 887 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: are the opposite. Their defense is fantastic. The Forest Buckner 888 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: has been easily one of the best offseason moves in 889 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 1: in recent memory, let alone this season. They win this game, 890 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: they'd be seven and three with just huge wins the 891 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,240 Speaker 1: last two weeks over the Titans and then over the Packers, 892 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 1: and they'd be in the driver's seat, especially if the 893 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 1: Ravens were to beat the Titans to win the division, 894 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,840 Speaker 1: which is crazy because you watched their offense. God, it 895 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 1: just doesn't work. Here's what you can do against the Packers. 896 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 1: You can run the football. Here's a problem. They drafted 897 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, who I like everyone I knew in the 898 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: NFL really really liked. I thought he was gonna be 899 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 1: like he justified the pick. I thought it was gonna 900 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 1: be one of those early second round picks. It was 901 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 1: gonna pop like a Nick Chubb. He has been terrible. 902 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he looks awful. Now. Maybe it's a Wisconsin thing, 903 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: because I remember six seven years ago when Melvin Gordon 904 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,560 Speaker 1: was drafted by the Charges. He looked like a bust 905 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 1: year one and then he became you know, he had 906 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: two or three years where he became a really good player. 907 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 1: But they need to get him. They need to be 908 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: able to run the ball. Now, Luckily they have Hines, 909 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: who's good running back. He should be able to gash 910 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,759 Speaker 1: the Packers. Their best chance to win this game is 911 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,879 Speaker 1: to run the ball, control, roll the clock, and keep 912 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: Rogers off the field. Now, I bet Uber Flews and 913 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,359 Speaker 1: some of the guys on defense might say, yeah, we're 914 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: not we had better we play anyone well, which might 915 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,279 Speaker 1: be true. But if the Culture gonna win this game, 916 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 1: the time of possession clock is going to have to 917 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 1: be in their favor, with them controlling the ball at 918 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, with the run slow down the game. 919 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: I just don't know if they can do that because 920 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if Jonathan Taylor brings anything to the table. 921 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: I'd lean the Packers in this game, but this game 922 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,360 Speaker 1: one I'll be definitely be watching Cowboys of the Vikings. 923 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean, let's just call a spade a spade. The 924 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys are joke. They're two and seven on four on 925 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: the road. I don't see how they win this game 926 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 1: the Vikings. If they were to win, which I expect 927 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 1: them to four straight wins five and five still probably 928 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: a long shot for the playoffs, but I wouldn't count 929 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,480 Speaker 1: them out. I mean, Justin Jefferson has become a star. 930 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,399 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's one of the best players in the league. 931 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:56,040 Speaker 1: Feeling it's just a fantastic number two wide receiver. Cousins 932 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,439 Speaker 1: just say what, call him the game manager all you want, 933 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 1: but he managed the game pretty all for what they 934 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: want to do that that defense has really come on. Um, 935 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: I like the vikings in this game. Okay, let's do 936 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 1: a little three for the money, like making my people 937 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 1: a little cash. Coming into last week, I was eighteen 938 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 1: and twelve. So last week I took the Jags plus 939 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: thirteen and a half, nailed it Bucks minus five, nailed 940 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:31,320 Speaker 1: it over under shootout in Seattle did not hit. So 941 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:36,840 Speaker 1: I am twenty and thirteen on the season. Let's go 942 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 1: and do uh this beautiful week the week before Thanksgiving, 943 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:44,319 Speaker 1: I actually feel really good about I feel good about 944 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: all three games. I feel I feel great about this 945 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 1: first one. The Wisconsin Badgers have proven to be the 946 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 1: second best program right now in the Big Ten and 947 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 1: the Big ten in the SEC. Kind of go back 948 00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,040 Speaker 1: and forth with who's the best this year? I I 949 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 1: can't even judge anybody. You could argue the A C 950 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,399 Speaker 1: C with Clemson Notre Dame had the two best teams. 951 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,600 Speaker 1: But Ohio State Wisconsin top two is pretty damn good, 952 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,440 Speaker 1: Bama Florida pretty damn good. We could argue till we're 953 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 1: blue in the face. And again, I college football this 954 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: year is a little weird. I mean it's really weird. 955 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 1: But here's what I do know. The Wisconsin Badgers and 956 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,680 Speaker 1: Paul Chris kicked the ship out of people. Jim Leonard, 957 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: who when I was in the NFL was like Rex 958 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 1: Ryan's guy, the little safety. Uh, I guess he's not little, 959 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,720 Speaker 1: but yeah, he was small. He was on the smaller side, 960 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,319 Speaker 1: has become one of the better defensive coordinators in all 961 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,319 Speaker 1: of college football. Paul Chris has proven the last several 962 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 1: years to be one of the better offensive coordinators in 963 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 1: college football, just with his run scheme. Now he has 964 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,879 Speaker 1: a quarterback in this Mertz kid. I get Michigan's kind 965 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,760 Speaker 1: of in tatters right now. They beat the living crap 966 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 1: out of Michigan. That was j V verse varsity and 967 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,400 Speaker 1: it's really been that way. Two years in a row. 968 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: They played Northwestern on the road minus seven and a half. 969 00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,760 Speaker 1: I love I love the Badgers. I think the Badgers 970 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 1: win this game, probably by I like Fitzgerald. I have 971 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: friends in the league that know him, work for him, 972 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: and swear by him. I have nothing but respect for 973 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 1: the guy. His team just doesn't have the talent. I'd 974 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 1: expect Wisconsin to roll these guys. The New England Patriots, 975 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 1: like I said, they're they're a win away from being 976 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,839 Speaker 1: five and five Withold. Just two or three weeks ago, 977 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 1: we thought they were destined to go five and eleven. 978 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,800 Speaker 1: And this is what Bill Belichick does because have you 979 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: noticed the last couple of weeks, no coronas, they've been 980 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 1: able to have practice. Bill Belichick's best attribute in the 981 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:38,920 Speaker 1: league is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, as much as it 982 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,759 Speaker 1: is on Sunday. It's getting his team ready on the 983 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,280 Speaker 1: practice field in the meeting rooms. That is his number 984 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:52,760 Speaker 1: one separating factor is out scheming you during the week. 985 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 1: You've heard Cam Newton I think he said it after 986 00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,240 Speaker 1: the game against Lamar. He was like, you think Belichick 987 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,280 Speaker 1: has that easy button? You get an office the EPO. 988 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 1: It's crazy. Everything he says comes to fruition. Well, when 989 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,319 Speaker 1: they were sending people home and doing virtual meetings, it's 990 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,760 Speaker 1: not the same. Once he gets you on the practice field, 991 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:14,880 Speaker 1: advantage the hoodie. I love his advantage this week. Romeo Cornell. 992 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,320 Speaker 1: I'd bet the farm against that guy every day of 993 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 1: the week and ten times on Sunday. Whoever is coaching 994 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:24,239 Speaker 1: against him, let alone if it's Belichick, Patriots minus one 995 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:25,759 Speaker 1: and a half depending on where you look. I see 996 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 1: two on on some sites at Houston. Like him to win, 997 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,479 Speaker 1: I like him to kick the Texas, but Chiefs minus seven. 998 00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 1: Here's the number one stat of the week. Andy Read 999 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 1: is eighteen and three coming off of bye. We've heard 1000 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 1: it for years. He's gonna like Belichick. His great advantage 1001 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 1: he is during the week as much as it is 1002 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:53,080 Speaker 1: on Sunday. I've seen it. The work ethic is is elite. 1003 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he's an absolute grinder, but when you give 1004 00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 1: him extra time, that's why he dominates. The numbers speak 1005 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,799 Speaker 1: for themselves. Here's the other factor. The Raiders beat them 1006 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 1: like they they've already played this team and they beat them. 1007 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,239 Speaker 1: You don't want to lose two straight to the Raiders. Now, 1008 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,240 Speaker 1: you would still be in first place in the division. 1009 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,680 Speaker 1: But still they're coming into this game. Steve Curry has 1010 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 1: used this term forever with the Warriors. You have to 1011 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 1: have appropriate fear for your opponent, and I think, listen, 1012 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Chiefs viewed the Raiders the 1013 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 1: first time like they will this time. The Raiders have 1014 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 1: the majority of their defense, are not going to be 1015 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,360 Speaker 1: able to practice all week because of contract tracing, so 1016 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to get the reps on 1017 00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,240 Speaker 1: the field against the Chiefs. That's defenders against the reps 1018 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:46,760 Speaker 1: against the Chief's offense. Just a year ago, Patrick Mahomes 1019 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:51,080 Speaker 1: through four touchdowns against this defense in a quarter. I 1020 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,400 Speaker 1: like the Chiefs minus seven. I think that number has 1021 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 1: already gone up a little bit with the with the 1022 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 1: guys on the COVID list. But I'm going Badger's minus 1023 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 1: seven a half at Northwest. I'm going to Patriots minus 1024 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 1: one and a half at the Houston Texans. That I 1025 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 1: love that camp. I like the Badgers too, and then 1026 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,879 Speaker 1: the Chiefs whatever you can get him. I I think 1027 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,879 Speaker 1: they win this game by double digits, eighteen and three 1028 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,879 Speaker 1: off of bye eight teen and three. And then there's 1029 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 1: rumors circulating that the Raiders did a little circles around 1030 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 1: uh arrowhead and the buses. So you get a little 1031 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 1: bulletin ward material for the Super Bowl champs. But three 1032 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,839 Speaker 1: for the money. Let's get it, Okay, let's bang out 1033 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,040 Speaker 1: a couple of questions at John mittelecoff. I know some 1034 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,800 Speaker 1: of you guys sent me some questions. Uh. Sometimes I 1035 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 1: get to this part and I'm like, you know, it's 1036 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 1: already fifty five minutes in. I'm kind of tired. But 1037 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 1: you know, I hope to the people. I hope to 1038 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: the people. I hear the criticism of Wentz, and he's 1039 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: had a poor year. Granted, the line of weapons continue 1040 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: to be an issue, but I see this as a 1041 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,440 Speaker 1: coaching problem. Doug hasn't been good for two years, no 1042 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 1: imagination on offense, and Wentz has clearly regrets since Frank left. 1043 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 1: Carson being the biggest investment on the roster means the 1044 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,879 Speaker 1: organization has to find a way to maximize the talent. 1045 00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,360 Speaker 1: To me, Doug either doesn't want to or can't. I 1046 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 1: think it's time to look at other coaches, whether in 1047 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 1: college or the NFL, and hear how they would design 1048 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,080 Speaker 1: an offense to maximize Carson. Wentz then decide on who 1049 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 1: to go with. We've seen the work. We've seen this 1050 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 1: work recently with coaches like the Cardinals, the Rams, forty Packers, 1051 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 1: et cetera. It's time to make a change and look 1052 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,120 Speaker 1: to replace Doug. If you were in charge, would you 1053 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 1: be aggressive enough to make that move so quickly after 1054 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,880 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl win? Listen, I like Doug Peterson a lot. 1055 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 1: He's really he's cool, as shipped to me, So I 1056 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,440 Speaker 1: hate Honestly, it was hard for me even to do it, 1057 00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 1: but like you know, I had to do. I just 1058 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 1: it was a take. I had to do it. Like 1059 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm not rooting for him to lose his job. I 1060 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,399 Speaker 1: like Doug Peterson. I don't. I don't have I don't 1061 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 1: even text with him or anything. But like whenever I 1062 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,799 Speaker 1: see him at the combine or whatever, he's cool. Uh. 1063 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,279 Speaker 1: But I just I'm just looking at it logically from 1064 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:58,400 Speaker 1: Luri's standpoint going he might be in some trouble. I 1065 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 1: I think, like they play the Browns this week. To me, 1066 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,560 Speaker 1: if they win like four games this year, I think 1067 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,879 Speaker 1: you gotta fire him because you're so all your chips 1068 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 1: are in the middle of the table. On Carson Wentz 1069 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: to me, it's about wins. You know, if he wins 1070 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,840 Speaker 1: four games, if you go four, what would it be 1071 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:22,439 Speaker 1: for eleven and one or something. I I just think 1072 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,800 Speaker 1: I think he's probably I don't think he's gotta go. 1073 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that, Like I have no problem 1074 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,600 Speaker 1: saying that. But a guy I know and like, like 1075 00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 1: I do you know me, like I'll talk about anybody. 1076 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm a little uncomfortable doing that. I'm not rooting for 1077 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 1: him to lose his job. But he wins four games, 1078 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: my guess is he gets fired. That's probably the best 1079 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: way I put it. And I do think Jeffrey would 1080 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:49,440 Speaker 1: fire him just because if they win four games, it's 1081 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 1: gonna look terrible. Last week looked awful. They can't beat 1082 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 1: the Giants. How are they gonna beat the Browns? The 1083 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 1: Browns are way better than the Giants. How are they 1084 00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,400 Speaker 1: gonna block Myles Garrett? How are they gonna stop this 1085 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:04,160 Speaker 1: running back? Baker is not even good. I just they're 1086 00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,200 Speaker 1: in trouble this week. I think this week could look 1087 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:07,759 Speaker 1: kind of ugly, Like I think they could just kind 1088 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,840 Speaker 1: of get their ass kicked. I'm curious to hear your 1089 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,000 Speaker 1: opinion on Joe Judge. I just gave a bunch. I 1090 00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,680 Speaker 1: know you're negative negative among the preseason when he made 1091 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 1: the coaches run. While I don't think they are all 1092 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 1: that talent that it does seem though they're moving the 1093 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,200 Speaker 1: right direction, especially in the offensive the defensive lines. They've 1094 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 1: been competitive in every game but one. The players seem 1095 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 1: to play hard ps. I still hope they fired Gettleman. See, 1096 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 1: that's gonna be the problem. I think you guys know 1097 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 1: I talked about Judge earlier. He's growing on me, especially 1098 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 1: if he fought Mark Colombo, if he if he if 1099 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,920 Speaker 1: he threw a punch at Mark Colombo. I'm all fucking 1100 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 1: in on Joe Judge. I'll buy a Joe Judge hat. Uh. 1101 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 1: Here's the problem when you when you hire a guy 1102 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,440 Speaker 1: like Joe Judge with the general manager that you're already 1103 00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,240 Speaker 1: thinking about firing. So you fired Dave Gettleman, Well, then 1104 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 1: what do you do? Because clearly Joe Judge is pretty good. 1105 00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,080 Speaker 1: Do you let him hire the general manager? Do you 1106 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 1: hire the general manager? It becomes a tough spot. I 1107 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,760 Speaker 1: think Gettleman's gots to go, But I don't really know 1108 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 1: how that works. You know, it's kind of a tough spot. 1109 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 1: Clay Thompson is the definition of award daddy. Yeah, I 1110 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 1: mean Clay Thompson getting hurt. That sucks. I love Klay 1111 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 1: Thompson first time I ever. I used to go to 1112 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 1: games before Durant got there. He used to go to 1113 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,360 Speaker 1: games a lot, and I used to go with the 1114 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,080 Speaker 1: great part about going like when you go to an 1115 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,360 Speaker 1: NFL game, even if you have a media pass, you 1116 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 1: can go on the field, but you don't. It's pretty 1117 00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 1: like everyone's pretty tight on the field. Maybe a couple 1118 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 1: of coaches are loose, but all the players like it's 1119 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,360 Speaker 1: it's a pretty focused environment in basketball and especially baseball 1120 00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:36,560 Speaker 1: when you're a media guy and you get there way 1121 00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,080 Speaker 1: before the fans like you bullshit with the players. I 1122 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 1: remember meeting Clay probably before they became the Splash Bros. 1123 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,560 Speaker 1: When Mark Jackson was still the coach, and we just 1124 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 1: started talking about this NFL quarterback and he was I 1125 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 1: asked him, I knew he knew him, and he was 1126 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 1: just talking all the shit about him, and we were 1127 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,000 Speaker 1: just he didn't know me, and we're just kind of 1128 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,720 Speaker 1: crushing this guy, and I just I've been a huge 1129 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:04,240 Speaker 1: Klay Thompson fan forever. Clay Thompson is the man devastated 1130 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 1: they got hurt. He's probably my favorite player in the league. 1131 00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,520 Speaker 1: Heard you around on the cold situation, badass team house 1132 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:14,400 Speaker 1: with no legit quarterback water uh. I also heard cowards 1133 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,280 Speaker 1: theory the Cowboys might be in the market for a 1134 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,320 Speaker 1: quarterback with a high pick this year. If so, do 1135 00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 1: you think Dak Prescott might end up in Indie? And 1136 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,640 Speaker 1: if so, would he beat quality enough to make the 1137 00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:27,440 Speaker 1: house howse enough? I don't really know what this question is. 1138 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,640 Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. I think Dak Prescott is 1139 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 1: just back with the Cowboys and the Cowboys used one 1140 00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 1: of those picks to pick a good player. If Dak 1141 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: were to hit the free agent market, I think there 1142 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,000 Speaker 1: would be I think Indie'd be interested. If Roethlisberger were 1143 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,480 Speaker 1: to retire, I think the Steelers will be interested. I 1144 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,200 Speaker 1: think the Patriots would be interested. I think the Jaguars 1145 00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 1: will be interested. Unless they had the second pick and 1146 00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 1: they were gonna take Justin Fields. He would definitely have 1147 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,520 Speaker 1: a market. Who knows what the Niners and Jimmy Garoppolo 1148 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 1: if they trade Jimmy Garoppolo to the Patriots, even though 1149 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 1: turns out Jimmy Garoppolo has no trade clause, but maybe 1150 00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 1: he would wave the no trade trade clause to go 1151 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:04,040 Speaker 1: to the Patriots. Uh, Dak is either gonna be on 1152 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys or he's gonna get a big deal from 1153 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 1: someone else as as long as like his ankle checks out, 1154 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,000 Speaker 1: and it's not like he doesn't have any setbacks. I 1155 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 1: would imagine that Frank would like they would like Dak Prescott. 1156 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,880 Speaker 1: I'd rather have Dak Prescott than then, Uh, Sam Donald, 1157 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 1: The problem is to get Dak Prescott, you gotta pay 1158 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 1: him a lot of money, Sam Donald, you gotta trade 1159 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 1: maybe a pick for him, but his he's relatively cheap. 1160 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 1: Like the one thing with getting Dak Prescott, even off 1161 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,760 Speaker 1: the broken ankle, you gotta give him a hunter million dollars. 1162 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,720 Speaker 1: And I think anyone listening knows where I stand. Like 1163 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 1: I like Dak. I just I would struggle to give 1164 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 1: him a huge contract. And I know it's never been 1165 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,760 Speaker 1: easier to play quarterback. But God, and I know his numbers. 1166 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 1: He was putting up great numbers. I root for the guy. 1167 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great human, high character guy. He's 1168 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 1: pretty good at quarterback. I just unless your name is 1169 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson. I just I struggled to 1170 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:54,680 Speaker 1: give you like a Hunter and twenty million dollars. See 1171 01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: what happened with the Falcons. They gave Matt Ryan all 1172 01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,080 Speaker 1: that money, how that turned out, and he'd accomplished a 1173 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 1: lot more in Dak Prescott. So I just I think 1174 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 1: that is a complicated one. I think a lot of 1175 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,040 Speaker 1: teams would like him, but at what price? And one 1176 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:08,640 Speaker 1: thing is clear, he's gonna want a lot of money, 1177 01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,240 Speaker 1: especially after breaking the ankle. He's gonna want some security, 1178 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,280 Speaker 1: and I don't blame him, but if I'm on the 1179 01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,040 Speaker 1: other side, like I'm not really into giving him a 1180 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 1: huge cash.
