1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up, everybody,

2
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire, Monday, May three. NFL

3
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: Draft weekend is in the books a fantastic draft weekend.

4
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: I will say, though, Um, you know, my wife went

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: out of town this weekend. My mom is in town

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: pinch hitting to help me out in yes, all the

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: dad's out there. No, you need help. Uh, it's difficult

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: to go one on to uh defending the two kids.

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: And um, right after the draft was completed Saturday, you know, midday,

10
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: I basically shut it down for the weekend. Sports wise,

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: I didn't really look at NBA stuff. I did take

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: a peek at the Lakers last night, ugly, ugly stuff

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: against the Raptors. Lakers, you know, we'll get to them eventually.

14
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: But the Draft, I'm just so thankful for it, as

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure Rob is as well. It's gonna give us

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: content forever. But the best part about it is Aaron Rodgers,

17
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: not really you know, destroying the draft because he didn't

18
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: he did, you know, become the bigger story than the draft.

19
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: As I'm sure everybody saw J. C. Horne, the quarterback

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: from South Carolina. His dad was very upset and and

21
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: strangely ran to ESPN. Why did Aaron Rodgers have to

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: butcher the first round of the draft? My son didn't

23
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: get any shine. I was just a little that's a

24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: cringe worthy move from dad. Um. As a dad of

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: young kids who play sports, I know, cringeworthy moves. And J. C. Horne,

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: your father, the famous Joe Horn who hid the cell

27
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: phone in the end zone the field goal post. Thank

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: you very much. Joe Horne hid the cell phone in

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: the field goal posts and uh you know, then pulled

30
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: it out. Great celebration back in the day. But bad

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: job Um getting upset that Aaron Rodgers stolda draft drama.

32
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, you know Aaron Rodgers was anybody's asking

33
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: about this weekend. I had a couple of guys out here,

34
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Dad's in l A asking me what the hell the

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: forty Niners are doing with Trey Lance. You know we've

36
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: been over that. I was like, bro, do you listen

37
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: to the podcast? Do you even straight fire? And he

38
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: was like, I have, but I've been busy this week.

39
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: This guy is a brain surgeon. I'm not even kidding.

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Saved two people's lives this week. With emergency brain surgery.

41
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, it's all good. I get it,

42
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: I get it. You know you don't have time for

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: the pod, you know. Um, but you know, as much

44
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: as I want to make a case for the forty Niners.

45
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: And if you heard my radio show Saturday, I thought

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: the forty Niners have issues. I thought they made a mistake. Um.

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: I think Shanahan versus John Lynch and the Scouts is

48
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: a thing. The fourty Niners are putting a brave face

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: on it all. The forty nine media cheerleaders are putting

50
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: a happy face on the situation. We'll see, but there's

51
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: no way two characterize the Packers situation as anything other

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: than a dumpster fire. Essentially, Aaron Rodgers just saying it's

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: me or the GM. And that's according to Charles Robinson,

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: if faithful straight fire listeners. Note, Charles Robinson came on

55
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: here two weeks ago, a little over two weeks ago

56
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: and said, Aaron Rodgers hates the GM. There's a trust

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: issue there. Jay Glazer went on Fox Sports Radio talking

58
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: about essentially how Brian Gudkunst, I hope I said his

59
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: name right, went rogue at the draft two years ago.

60
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: And just called an audible, didn't ask any of his

61
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: scouts or his head coach, didn't run up by Aaron

62
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: Rodgers and just trade it up for Jordan's love. It's like,

63
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: what are you doing, dude? What's the game plan here?

64
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Traded up for Jordan's love. Aaron Rodgers since then has been,

65
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, bubbling up inside about as angry as he

66
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: was when he fell in the draft for potentially going

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: one to I think he felt a twenty and he

68
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: was not happy, and he's very clearly ticked off right now.

69
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: So Charles Robinson told us that this was out there.

70
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers of course, goes to the Kentucky Derby, doesn't

71
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: do an interview with Mike Terriko. I joked that he

72
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: looked like a sidewalk magician with his little I think

73
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: it was a bolero hat. Is that what it was?

74
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: Rob I, I don't know the terminology. I'm not a

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: h like a weirdo hat guy. I'm a baseball hat guy. Um. So,

76
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers goes to Kentucky Derby and meanwhile he goes

77
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: there and like the Packers franchise is just a flaming dumpster.

78
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: He according to Charles Robinson. He has said it's me

79
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: or the GM, and he has no faith in the GM.

80
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: I don't know why anybody would we can get to

81
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: that shortly, but I I'll just put this out there,

82
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: and I tweeted this over the weekend, and of course

83
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: the football lifers got all upset at me, but that's

84
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: what they do. UM. When Lebron James says, man, this

85
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,119
Speaker 1: GM scots to go, he don't know what he's talking about.

86
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: I can make better moves in the front office. Everybody

87
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: universally alright, Lebron could call. Yeah. I gotta agree with Lebron,

88
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: there no doubt about that, UM, without question. Yeah, we

89
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: gotta get rid of the GM. Yeah. I make to

90
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: start happy in the NBA, and that has largely been

91
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: the case in the NFL, especially here in the last

92
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what six months. Remember, Deshaun Watson, extremely

93
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: upset with what's going on in Houston, said he wants

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: out now. That got put on pause because of his

95
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: MSSUS situation, if you will, which has been very quiet lately.

96
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure the league is happy about that. Around the draft, UM,

97
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: and of course Russell Wilson, who said I'm unhappy with

98
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: the direction of things. I'm more than willing to be

99
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: traded here. The four teens I would be willing to

100
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: go to, and you just put that out there. Of course,

101
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: the Bears made a huge offer and Seattle said no,

102
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: thank you. But it's pretty clear Seattle heard Russell Wilson's gripes.

103
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear Houston has heard Deshaun Watson's gripes. UM.

104
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah. By the way, during the third round of

105
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: the of the NFL Draft, when the Houston Texans reached

106
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: for Davis Mills, which I thought was a stunner, just

107
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: a horrible draft pick. The Texas had a bad draft

108
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: by the way, UM, Daniel Jeremiah said on TV. Hey, UM,

109
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: everybody in the league believes Deshaun Watson has played his

110
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: last snap for the Texas. UM. And that's independent of

111
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,119
Speaker 1: all his legal well, I don't know if it's legal.

112
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: It's not criminal, civil issues, civil lawsuit issues. That Watson

113
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: will just be somewhere else. Um. They have, by the way,

114
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: the lowest wind total projected along with the Lions for

115
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: next season, so they'll be looking at a quarterback. They

116
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: will move on from Deshaun Watson. But this will be

117
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: the real test case if the NFL is anywhere near

118
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: the player empowerment era that the NBA has. We know

119
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: the NBA's run by the players. People push back, they

120
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: say it's bad. It's not the worst thing in the world.

121
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: It's not. You know, I'll tell you this. The Golden

122
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: State Warriors GM could not have put the full court

123
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: press on Kevin Durant and made it happen. Could Steph

124
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: Curry and Draymond Green have made it happen? Well, they

125
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: sure did. And Clay Thompson and Andrea goodal law I

126
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: think they called him the Hampton's Five went traveling to

127
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: secure Durant. Like that doesn't happen in the NFL. Should it? Maybe?

128
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Will it? I think it's coming. I think this is

129
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: where we're headed in the NFL. The player empowerment era

130
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: is reaching its zenith here with Aaron Rodgers versus the Packers. Now,

131
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Mark Murphy is the guy who has to make the

132
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: decision on what to do with gudakinst And again I've

133
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: probably said his name wrong three times. Rob will check me.

134
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: Shortly that being said, like, think about this, Okay, the

135
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: Packers go to the a f C title game, they

136
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: lose to the Niners. There are some holes that need

137
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: to be filled, and he trades up to draft a

138
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: quarterback and then takes a running back in the second round.

139
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: What are you doing? This is a guy who's not

140
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: trying to help the future. Are not trying to help

141
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: the immediate future. He's looking to the distance. Oh, I'm

142
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: trying to build the next generation. Like, dude, that this

143
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: generation is not even close to done. When you're seeing

144
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: what Tom Brady is doing, how can you in good

145
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: conscious punt on the immediate and say we're gonna look

146
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: to the future. And then they go to the NFC

147
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: title game again. Aaron Rodgers, m VP of the league,

148
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of people did not like the cornerback decision.

149
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: I personally thought that was a good move. Uh in

150
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: the first round. They if you think back to Tom

151
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: Brady in the NFC Title Game, he just lit up

152
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: the kid king. It was a disaster, and you know,

153
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: they needed a cornerback. They absolutely needed a cornerback, and

154
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: that was the move in the first round. I can't

155
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: really take too much issue with that move. That being said, like,

156
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: at what point do you you know, say, hey, Aaron,

157
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: you know You've been a good soldier here for I

158
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: don't know, fifteen years. Um, do you have any thoughts

159
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: on anything? Aaron? I mean, listen, you know, second round

160
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: they go offensive lineman. Okay, they needed to replace their center.

161
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: I get that. Third round. I really like Amari Rodgers

162
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: uhive eleven. UM, tough guy, really strong, thick wide receiver.

163
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: He's tough. He's an addition, no doubt about it. But

164
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: there was also a quote quote floating from my believe

165
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter that said they could pick all wide receivers

166
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: in the draft and it would not matter to Aaron Rodgers.

167
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: There's just a lack of belief in the GM and

168
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't it feels like irruparable damage that you can't

169
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: go back and simply fix this. I'm trying to think

170
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: of other NFL examples like this. I mean, there are

171
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: several NBA ones where it's just broken and done. I

172
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: NFL it's a little tougher to come by. It's like,

173
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, we know it's kind of an old boys league,

174
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: and you know how those deals work the back rooms.

175
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: Like it's wealthy, older guys who just aren't gonna put

176
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: up with it. But there is some new money coming

177
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: into the league. We'll see what happens. But Rob, I

178
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: say that the Packers should just say, you know what

179
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers wants out. Aaron Rodgers is telling us he's done.

180
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: Let's maximize whatever we can get and get him out

181
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: of the NFC and start over, because this is toast.

182
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: We already know that we want to move on, whether

183
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: it's Jordan's love or someone else. I mean, I feel

184
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: awful for Jordan's love. You never want to be the

185
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: guy who follows the guy. It is almost impossible to

186
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: meet those expectations. Yes, Steve Young was able to do

187
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: it in San France, Andrew Luck did not quite get there.

188
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: We know the early retirement with Peyton Manning. But you know,

189
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: look how Daniel Jones is faring compared to Eli Manning,

190
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: who did win two rings with the Giants. Uh, say

191
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: what you will about Eli Manning, but the bottom line

192
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: is it's tough to be the guy after the guy

193
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Jordan's love is. It's gonna be very difficult to be

194
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: successful there. Yeah, Rob, I think they just should trade him.

195
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: Just trade Aaron Rodgers. Well, yeah, we said um. After

196
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: the first round of the draft on Friday morning, that

197
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: they screwed up by not trading him on draft night

198
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: just because the riding seems to be on the wall

199
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: as soon as they made that Jordan's love selection and

200
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: then decided even after he had an m v P season,

201
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: I went back to the NFT title game. We are

202
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: not going to extend you that. That should tell you

203
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: all you need to know about what their plans are

204
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: for their future. Now all of that, though, gets thrown

205
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: out the window if the report is shoot for Charles

206
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: Robinson that Aaron Rodgers has said the ultimatum is me

207
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: or your GM. Because if that's the case, I think

208
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: it's an easy decision. I'm taking Aaron Rodgers eight days

209
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: a week. I mean, you just look at the draft

210
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: picks that Gunacuts has made since he's been there. I

211
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: mean I canna count the eighteen the jaredx Alexander's election

212
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: because you only have the on the job for like

213
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: three months. Ted Thompson had to step down, uh um,

214
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, abruptly due to health issues. So then you

215
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: go to to twenty nineteen. I think the only contributor

216
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: that they've got out of that that group was um

217
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: Josh Jackson, the corner and there's a reason why they

218
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: went corner again this past draft because their secondary is

219
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: not quite up to snuff, especially considering you got jar

220
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: Alexander on the other side. And then the selections I

221
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: think may rival my Raiders as some of the worst

222
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: selections in recent NFL history. You have Jordan's Love who

223
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: wasn't even the backup last season. A J. Dillon who

224
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: was going to be the backup this upcoming season, but

225
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: last year he was third string, and going forward, I

226
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: don't know how much of of a uh bell cow

227
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna be considering they just signed Aaron Jones to

228
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: a big deal, and then you have a third string

229
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: tight end picked in the third round, and then after

230
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: that it's just like backup offensive lineman who I don't

231
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: even think see the field. I mean, there's three guys

232
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: on here who say have zero games played to their

233
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: to their credit. So if the decision comes down to

234
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: just Rogers or the g m A you brought up,

235
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: this is a horrible president to send if you're a

236
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay to do something like that. The couch out

237
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: to any football player, no't matter who it is. But

238
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: history tells us only one of these guys is really

239
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: good at his job. So for you to decide to

240
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: go with the general manager out of whatever loyalty, I

241
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: don't know that you have to him. I know he

242
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: was with the franchise before he became the GM. It

243
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense to me. So yeah, I Green

244
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: Bay is in a very, very very tough position right now. Well,

245
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: I do want to remind people out there who are like,

246
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: you can't trade ar rogers. J come on, you can't

247
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: do that. I just want to remind people Joe Montana,

248
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: who at the time was the greatest quarterback in NFL

249
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: history on four Super Bowls, did not end his career

250
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: with the forty Niners. Yes, he had an injury. Steve

251
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: Young was waiting. I get that. Brett Farve, who I

252
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: think almost without question is a top ten, top twelve

253
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: quarterback all time when you count m v P Super

254
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: Bowls and numbers, Brett Farve did not end his career

255
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Tom Brady. I mean, this is really

256
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: the mic drop one. I should have saved Tom Brady

257
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: for the end. But like Tom Brady wins a million

258
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowls with the New England Patriots, they draft Jimmy Garoppolo,

259
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: which really ticked him off. Brady ultimately won that Tug

260
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: Award because he went to the owner. He went right

261
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: to the owner, was like, Yo, you gotta get Belichick

262
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: to trade him. What did Belichick do? He had to

263
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: trade Garoppolo. He's ticked about that. Ultimately, Brady still left

264
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: and then he want a Super Bowl Tampa. He might

265
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: win another one next year. And then, of course you

266
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: can forget Peyton Manning. Now I know he had to

267
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: the neck injury, but nevertheless, Peyton Manning, indie, I mean,

268
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: greatest player in franchise history, didn't end up ending his

269
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: career with the Colts, won a Super Bowl in fact,

270
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: with Denver. So as crazy as the sounds, Radgers is

271
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: thirty eight in December. Guys, he's got what maybe three

272
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: years left? Maybe four? I don't I mean again, outside

273
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: of Brady, not a lot of guys have been successful

274
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: playing football at the age of like. It's just that

275
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: hasn't been done. Um, I think you. I think you

276
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: call up the Denver Broncos and say, yo, give me

277
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: your next two number ones, give me, uh, give me

278
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb, and um give me you know a number

279
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: three or something. I know those number ones are not

280
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna be great because Aaron Rodgers goes there there in

281
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: a eleven win team. But if you're the Packers and

282
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: you're so confident in your GM drafting Jordan's Love, well,

283
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: what you're not going up to draft a quarterback? Right?

284
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: You got Jordan's Love? And if you could get Bradley Chubb.

285
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean Rob is asking for Bradley Chubb too much here. No,

286
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: I think if you're really going to try to trade

287
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: him to Denver, I think you start off with three ones,

288
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Chubb and Jerry Judy. I think that's the opening Three ones,

289
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: Chubb and Jerry Jude the opening request. If you I'm

290
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: not doing that, I'm trading Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is

291
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: almost going on record saying I might retire. That's fine.

292
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's That's one thing that I think I

293
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: would side with a team on is if you signed

294
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: a contract, you should fulfill that contract. You could be

295
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: upset all you want and and threaten this, this and that.

296
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: I totally understand that. But if you're gonna retire, just

297
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: go ahead and retire. Then what about Kyrie Irving? Pulling?

298
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: Hey man, if you don't trade me out of Cleveland.

299
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get surgery even though I may not need it,

300
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be out. I mean, is that worse

301
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: than I'm gonna I'd rather sit out? Well, he actually

302
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: did have some kind of medical thing where he could

303
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: have a doctor sign off on it, so it's hard

304
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: to really punish him for that. But if so, Carson Palmer,

305
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: I believe he did retire. He did retire, right, and

306
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: then he came back with Arizona, right, No, he came

307
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: back with He retired from the Bengals, and he was

308
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: out of football. And the only reason the Raiders made

309
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 1: a trade to get him is because I believe they

310
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: were like six and two and their quarterback I just

311
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: got hurt. And Hugh Jackson was running the show because

312
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: Al Davis was just passed away, so he was the

313
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: facto general manager, and he decided to just give me

314
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer. I think, give multiple first round picks and

315
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: we'll be back in I think they finished like eight

316
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: and eight or nine and seven. I'm like Carson Palmer,

317
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: but he wasn't thirties seven years and his first game,

318
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: I believe he threw three interceptions in one half because

319
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: he had been out of football for a Raiders fan

320
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: or fond memories of Carson Palmer. So the Cardinals came

321
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: after that? Huh, yes came after that? Wow. Um, yeah,

322
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm giving up Judy chub and three

323
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: number ones. That's five number one. That roster outside of

324
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: quarterback is loaded. Yeah, I know exactly. That's what not

325
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: giving it up. And if you see what Aaron Rodgers

326
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: is doing in Green Bay with Davantae Adams, who is awesome.

327
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, who are This is what I said. He

328
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: runs very hard. I'm not going to put him up

329
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: in the upper echelon of running backs. He just runs hard.

330
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: My favorite Aaron Jones stat is I think he had

331
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: one touch in the second half of the NFC title game.

332
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: He fumbled it and they pulled him off the field

333
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: because he had a fumble in the first half too,

334
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: and they just benched his ass and then they gave him, like,

335
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: you know, forty four million dollars in the off season, right,

336
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: And and I say, I'm not trying to slander Aaron Jones,

337
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: but I mean running backs are a little bit interchangeable.

338
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: And there's a reason why they dropped a guy in

339
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: the second round because they think you can, you know,

340
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: replace him rather easily than their opinion. But they have

341
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay develops a good offensive line. They have a

342
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: good offensive line. Box tr is a study. Left tackle.

343
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: Davante Adams is a fantastic wide receiver. Other than that,

344
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: who scares you on that team, it's Aaron Rodgers. It's

345
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and a bunch of guys. They there's a

346
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: chance they go from being a win team to like

347
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: with Jordan's Love, like four or five correct, Oh yeah,

348
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean if he couldn't even win the backup role

349
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: last season, that tells you all you need to know

350
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: about where Jordan's Love is in his development. Fox Sports

355
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson being the most valuable quarterback, and there's no

356
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: doubt he is extremely valuable. But you know, when it

357
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: comes down to it, Aaron Jones is probably the most

358
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: valuable guy. I mean, you could argue Tom Brady, of course,

359
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: because the Bucks can't get to the playoffs with Jamis

360
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: Winston or anyone else and then Brady gets win the

361
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Um, so it's probably Brady, but Rogers is

362
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: certainly no doubt about it. He's got to be up there.

363
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: And maybe if you are Denver. Listen, if you're John Elway,

364
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: you were able to secure Peyton Manning. You got a

365
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with five first round picks, three plus you

366
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: know Judy and Chub. And by the way, Bradley Chubb

367
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: before the injury. I mean, he's been excellent. I'm not

368
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: saying he's the top ten ed rusher yet, but he's

369
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: very very good. Um, I'm I'm just excited, Rob thinking

370
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: about your Raiders in that division with the Chiefs twice,

371
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert twice and Aaron Rodgers twice. Because I did

372
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: my mock draft for Fox Sports posted Sunday, I put

373
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: it on my i G Stories if you guys missed it,

374
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: post posted on my Facebook page for the eight people

375
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: who still look at Facebook, and I had the Raiders

376
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: pick it in the top five. Rob uh and a

377
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: lot of people were upset. They were very why do

378
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: you do this, Jay? Every year you have the Raiders

379
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: in the top ten. Because I do this experiment every year,

380
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: and um, I had them going with Spencer Rattler, the

381
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: quarterback out of Oklahoma a k a ch Oklahoma Rattlers

382
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: very good. Um, I don't know. The Raiders could be

383
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: a four or five win team next year. If Rogers

384
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: joined that division, that would be I oh. I love

385
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: to keep up for the NFC West uh Arizona, Seattle

386
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: Rams Niners stacked division. Um, but I think I would

387
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: probably have to lead the division with Patrick Mahomes and

388
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and also Justin Herbert, who you guys know

389
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: I love. Um, that would just be brutal. Is there

390
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: even a second team? To get to the discussion, I

391
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: don't know if Rogers has a no trade? Does he?

392
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I don't think that he does. I

393
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: don't know if I have no trades? Are that common

394
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But I will say this, you must

395
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: not pay attention to ESPN because our friend Jeremy Fowler

396
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: said on Sports Center on Sunday morning, Aaron Rodgers quote

397
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: reportedly intrigued by the Raiders. So there's your second team

398
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: right there? What come on? Now? I will say this,

399
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: if he were to go from Green Bay to Vegas, Uh,

400
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: definitely a step down in talent on the roster. But

401
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: I will also say this, the Raiders want eight games

402
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: with Derek car. I don't think Derek car is a

403
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: bad quarterback. But Aaron Rodgers told another level they could

404
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: win ten to level games with Aaron Rodgers. Memis fair. Um,

405
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I know, do know Jeremy Fowler.

406
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: We might be able to get him on the podcast. Uh,

407
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not biking Aaron Rodgers going to Vegas.

408
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: Dude about to get married. He's gonna He's got dude

409
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: about to get married. He's gonna go to Vegas. Yeah,

410
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: he wants to be closer to to the West Coast.

411
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: That's been widely reported, not just by ESPN. Yeah, that's

412
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: everywhere he let go. Let me ask you this about

413
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: this entitlement. And you know, we we've we've been over

414
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: this with like Kevin Durant and a lot of athletes

415
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: fans think it's like wrong for athletes to want to

416
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: like go somewhere else. And I just I struggled with

417
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: this rong because so many people are like, why can't

418
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: they just stay where they're drafted? And I'm like, in no,

419
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: walk of life at all? Is that how life works?

420
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: It's just and no, no nowhere. You get your first

421
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: job out of college and this idea you have to

422
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: stay there forever is comical. I mean, it's just it.

423
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: Does it not exist? Why does it exist? In sports?

424
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean people are like upset when teams draft a

425
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: player and the guy wants to leave. We're gonna see

426
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: this with Zion, William said. I hope he's the test

427
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: bunny for it. I really hope he bounces no disrespect

428
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. Sorry, guys, you know, I know you

429
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: lost Anthony Davis, blah blah blah, but let's be real.

430
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: I want to see Zie on playoffs. I want to

431
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: see him on a winner, like Aaron Rodgers has done

432
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: his time in Green Bay. He's been a good soldier.

433
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: He waited a long ass time. What tow three years

434
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: for Brett Farve, and then when you wins, you a

435
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: ton of games get you in the mix. I think

436
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: he's been like six or seven NFC title games and

437
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: you're still disrespecting him. A thirty Evan, I feel like Rogers.

438
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: You know, some guys have a chip on their shoulder

439
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: for no reason. I feel like Rogers has a decent

440
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: reason for having a chip on her shoulder, like and

441
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: cal he I think he completed like twenty passes in

442
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: a row. I'll never forget watching that game at a

443
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: friend's house. It was like, this guy is really good

444
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: and he still fell in the draft and people took

445
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: Alex Smith first overall, and then Rogers has to sit

446
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: behind Farv and then he finally gets a job and

447
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: far was like, I want my job back. And then

448
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: Rogers just crushing it and his team often lets him down.

449
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, he hasn't delivered all the time, but who does.

450
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: And now his team's drafting a quarterback when they go

451
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: to the NFC title game in the first round and

452
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: trading up, It's like everybody wants to compliment the Tampa

453
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Oh, they had a great draft and kept

454
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: everybody together. The GM in the front office deserves so

455
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: much credit. Uh time out. This is the same GM

456
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: or a couple of years ago in the draft traded

457
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: up to draft kicker. You guys remember that a kicker.

458
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: It was a total debacle that I think they cut

459
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: the kicker like midway through the season. I mean, it

460
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: was an embarrassment that GM all of a sudden's getting

461
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: a lot of credit because Tom Brady came to town

462
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: and got like a super deal on the cheap and said,

463
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: I'll take my money later. Let's retain everybody, and I

464
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: want to stick it to Bill Belichick. And now the

465
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: GM of Tampa Bay is getting all this credit. Aaron

466
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers has dominated the league for ten years. He's been incredible,

467
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: and the Packers are going to keep a GM over

468
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Rob What am I missing? This seems like

469
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: this so obvious. I would agree with you. If it's

470
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: that easy, I think it's a or. If it's that

471
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: cut and dry of a decision, I would definitely lean

472
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. But going back to what you said initially

473
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: about why people are so anti empower man and why

474
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: they don't like when guys think their careeringer don't have,

475
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: I think it boils down. There's something really simple. Fans

476
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: want players to care as much about their team as

477
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: they do. They don't view it as this is a

478
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: job to you. They view it as I love the

479
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. You should love the Green Bay Packers.

480
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: You should do whatever you can to make sure Green

481
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: Bay is back in the Super Bowl. I don't want

482
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: to see you out of the movies on a on

483
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: a Saturday. Well, let me let's go to you for

484
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: a second. Rob. Why are you a Raiders fan because

485
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: I grew up a Raiders fan. Is it because of

486
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: the area or yeah, well, my my dad ran the

487
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: l A Coliseum when the Raiders played in in l A.

488
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: So even though he was a Rams fan, because he

489
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: worked basically for the Raiders and had a bunch of

490
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: Raiders paraphernalia around the house because they give it to

491
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: him for working there, And so I became a Raiders fan.

492
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: I grew up Raiders fan. So who let's just say

493
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: they draft Spencer Rattler. He's got no connection at all

494
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: to the Raiders except they decided with the first pick

495
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: they want him. Like this idea that he's automatically gonna

496
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: love the franchise in the city, Like that's not a given.

497
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 1: There's there's no way you have a visceral connection to

498
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I am a Jets fan because I was

499
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: born in New York and when it came and moved,

500
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: my family moved right outside d c Um And like,

501
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: once I started liking football and sports, everybody like Washington Redskins. Everybody,

502
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: like you would go to cross the street, you know,

503
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: the school crossing guard, and they would have like a

504
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: Redskins hat on, and it would be like excited for

505
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: the Redskins game that weekend. And there were like cards

506
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: that they would they would give out at seven eleven

507
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: Redskins cards. The Hogs, Joe Jacoby and whoever. These guys

508
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: were um and everybody only like the Redskins and only

509
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: talked about the Redskins. There was no internet back then.

510
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: Okay there was no I mean, cable TV existed, but

511
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: barely in our area, and so it's not like you

512
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 1: could watch any game you wanted all the time. So

513
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: everybody liked the local team, the Redskins. And I was like,

514
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: I'm not a crowd follower. Why why do I like

515
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: the Redskins? What's my connection? I just my family moved here,

516
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: I was born in New York. I'm gonna pick the Jets.

517
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pick the Giants. Said just won the

518
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think maybe, and you know, I just

519
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: said I'm like the Jets, and of course they stunk,

520
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: but I am committed to the Jets. I'm pot committed

521
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: now and My kids asked me the question all the time, Dad,

522
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: why on earth do you like the Jets? They suck?

523
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: They're never gonna be good. And it also it also

524
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: is painful when your kids starts to say the word suck, um,

525
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: because it's just not a nice word. You know, I

526
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: could say it, but I don't want like an eight

527
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: or ten year old saying suck at any rate. Um.

528
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: This idea that like Aaron Rodgers has to love the

529
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: Packers because he's lived in the city for the football

530
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: season for the last fifteen years. You guys know, he's

531
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: in l A and travels in the offseason, not sitting

532
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: in Green Bay in Wisconsin. I got a buddy who

533
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: belongs to a country club out here in l A.

534
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers went to be a member. This was

535
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: when he was dating um the actress from the bay

536
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: Watch movie. I don't remember her name, but she is

537
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: a ridiculous smoke show rob. You could maybe church search

538
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: it up. This blonde, you know, she was in the

539
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: bay Watch movie. She's super hot and he takes her

540
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: through the club, the golf club, and they are like,

541
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, when you apply to be a member of

542
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: this golf club, you have to um like, play around

543
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: a golf with people who are on the board. And

544
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: my buddy, an older gentleman, played around with Aaron Rodgers

545
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: and this actress and he said, oh, Aaron Rodgers the

546
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: nicest guy, so cool, so chill. And you know, his

547
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: girlfriend's the Smoke Show and she was really good at golf.

548
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: I guess she played in high school or college or something.

549
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: And all he had was good things to say about

550
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And I'm like, why is Aaron Rodgers joining

551
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: a golf club in I think, I don't know if

552
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: it's a Beverly Hills golf club, but it's in that vicinity.

553
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: He lives in Wisconsin, And my buddy was like, yeah,

554
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: as soon as the season is over, he's out here

555
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: in California and he's not at Wisconsin, So like, I

556
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: get it. Aaron Rodgers was drafted by the Packers, but

557
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: this idea that he's got to be head over heels

558
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: in love with the Packers forever. Like it's a job.

559
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: It's a job, that's all it is. For Aaron Rodgers

560
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of these players. Why would you want

561
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 1: to get too close when you know that the teams

562
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: can screw you and shaft you in a heartbeat, and

563
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: that happens all the time. Joe Montana was the forts

564
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: he got hurt. Steve Young was in the pipeline. Okay, Joe,

565
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: thank you for your service. Like no, fans haven't way wrong. Okay,

566
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: that's just that's the way of life. I love Fox Sports.

567
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: I love working for them. I love going on TV radio,

568
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: podcast everything. I don't know if they're gonna cut me

569
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: tomorrow or next year or five years from I have

570
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: no idea. Uh I'm gonna keep up for Fox. When

571
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm there, I'm gonna say great things. I'm not gonna

572
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: bash anybody I work with. I do like Fox. I

573
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: like the executives, I like the bosses, I like producers, everybody.

574
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: It's a great group. But like it's a job, you know.

575
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: And like this idea that Aaron Rodgers has to love

576
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: the Packers and he should never do something like me

577
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: or the GM is insanity. So I am team Aaron

578
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers here, Rob There's no no way about it. It's

579
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm all in on Rogers here defending him. I'll be

580
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: surprised if anybody takes the other side. Yeah, I mean

581
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: and and as soon as ESPN offers me more money

582
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: to leave this podcast. I'm not even gonna tell you

583
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna accept it, and then you'll just see me

584
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: on another show Green Bay, and and and and I

585
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: hate to pick on their fans specifically, but because every

586
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: fan base is like this, but their fan base in particular,

587
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: because that's all they have is the Green Bay Packers,

588
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: Like they don't have anything else where they can branch out,

589
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: and don't they Yeah, but I mean green Bay itself.

590
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: Like anybody who's like Brady Pape has been on this pot,

591
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: He'll tell you there's nothing in Green Bay. But the

592
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: Packers like the pack It's like a college town almost

593
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: with how much they love the Packers. And to their credit,

594
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, Green Bay has been a well run organization

595
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: for a long long time. You know, even maybe little

596
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: pockets here and there where they weren't, but for the

597
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: most part, they are a stand up organization. So they're

598
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: not used to this kind of treatment that they're getting.

599
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 1: You know. The me being a Laker fan, I'm not

600
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: used to seeing guys who want to force their way

601
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: out because historically the Lakers always do things the right way.

602
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: And I think this may be really jarring to them

603
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: to see that you know what, we we screw this

604
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: one up. We we had we had a great, all

605
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: time great quarterback and to hit no, not his fault

606
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: at all. It's not like Brett Farve who kept was hiring, us, hiring, retiring,

607
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: un retiring, where they kind of got tired of. It's you.

608
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has gone to the last two NFC title games. Yeah,

609
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: he just want an m v P. It's funny. Hold on,

610
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: it's funny you mentioned the Lakers. I just thought about that.

611
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: Do you remember Alonzo Ball? I do. He was introduced

612
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: as you know, the savior and the next grade point

613
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: guard and Magic Johnson jokes saved some of my records,

614
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: and within I think two years he was gone like that.

615
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: Sports guys like Alonzo Ball drafted I think second overall, right, yes,

616
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: and Brandon Ingram was up there top five pick as well,

617
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: and instantly you think, like, okay, there's our few like gone.

618
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 1: The team just traded him because they could do better. Um,

619
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: it's tough, man, Being a sports fan is brutal. I

620
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: just I mean, I don't know. As a Jets fan,

621
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm I hopeful for Zach Will said, of course, do

622
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: I expect a kid from Utah who probably couldn't name

623
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: seven Jets in the franchise history. Do I expect Zack

624
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: Wilson to be all in on the Jets? Of course not.

625
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: He's probably intimidated by New York, you know, I mean

626
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: trade Lance. Has he ever been to the West Coast

627
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: in his life? I don't know. Maybe has he been

628
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: to the Bay Area. I mean, Zack Wilson in the

629
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: Big Apple seems intimidating. There's a chance to eat him up.

630
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be Donald making out with

631
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: chicks and getting mono or whatever the kissing diseases he got.

632
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be Mark Sanchez, who's my gosh,

633
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: Mark said. All Mark Sanchez did was basically rolled around

634
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: New York City like, Hey, I'm Mark Sanchez, quarterback of

635
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: the Jets. Let's look up. You know that's a bay

636
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: That's not a bad way to live. Well, it's not

637
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: a good way to be, you know, franchise quarterbacks trying

638
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: to build something's a great way to live if you're

639
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: twenty something in New York City. Um, but you know,

640
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, we're all in on him at Jets fans. Yes,

641
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: I could say we um, is he all in on

642
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: the Jets? I don't know. They sure look like they've

643
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: gotta help him. And of course I had to take

644
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: this Jets this podcast on a Jet standard because the

645
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: Jets had an outstanding draft. I don't know if you guys,

646
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: if you do follow me on the Graham I saw

647
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: this um most athletic players, I guess, uh, next gen

648
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: stats crunched, you know, forty times shuttle, all that fun stuff,

649
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: and the Jets were one of the top five most

650
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: athletic drafts in the league. Dolphins were number one. Mild surprise,

651
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it has to do with getting Jalen Waddle.

652
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: But anyways, just to wrap up on Aaron Rodgers, like, uh,

653
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: this seems so freaking easy. Guys like Aaron Rodgers should

654
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: get his way. I completely understand. I don't understand how

655
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: anybody could not understand this. So if you are thinking

656
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: I'm crazy and Aaron Rodgers is crazy, please let me know.

657
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 1: Email Graham, social media. I'm out there. I would love

658
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: to hear it. Rob. It's weird when we're in locks

659
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: U because we can't argue about anything. Yeah, yeah, it

660
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: really is weird and um for all of you UH

661
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: football fans who are on social media saying I can't

662
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: believe Aaron Rodgers doing this the way he's being a

663
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: child who disagree with the GM, let me just tell

664
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: you quickly the Tambay Buccaneers who just want a Super

665
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: Bowl Tom Brady super Bowl m v P. I believe

666
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: right they they drafted a quarterback Kyle Trask in the

667
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: second round. You know what Bruce Arian said immediately after

668
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: they drafted him to Peter Schreger. Tom Brady has been

669
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: kept in the loop on the drafting of a quarterback

670
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: for weeks. He knew Trask was going to be the pick,

671
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: and even after they made the pick, they connected with

672
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: tom Brady again to make sure that he knew exactly

673
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: what was going on and let him know that, hey,

674
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: we got a young guy coming. You're still our guy,

675
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: but this is the future. That is how you were

676
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: supposed to operate in the NFL. Yeah, but by the way,

677
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: you knew who else knew that the Bucks were drafting

678
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: Kyle Trask? Jason McIntyre. Indeed I did. I went on

679
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: the herd April sixteenth, and I posted the video and

680
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: the herd. You know, account pushed it out and everything.

681
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: And you know I said Kyle Trask was gonna go

682
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: to the Bucks. That Bruce Arians really liked Kyle Trask,

683
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: big arm, accurate quarterback they needed to back up. A

684
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: matter of fact, I said it would happen at the

685
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: end of the second round. They didn't trade up for Trask.

686
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: They got them. Um. You know, listen, sometimes you hear

687
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: some interesting stuff from agents, uh, former players, uh, people

688
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: connected to front offices, and you get a little lucky. Um.

689
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: The funnier part robed you ready for this? So I

690
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: have to do a year in advanced mock draft that

691
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: I mentioned at the outset a year ago, I did

692
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: the mock draft right after the draft. I nailed Justin

693
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: Fields to the Bears and Michael Parsons to the Cowboys

694
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: a year in advance. Now, is there some luck involved,

695
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: of course, but I'm telling you, I'm sure you just

696
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: so you guys don't scoff totally at the year in

697
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: advance mock robbed. The real reason I do it is

698
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: because a it gets starts me getting early prep for

699
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: the two thousand college football season. And the second reason

700
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: is it starts to be early prep on holes in

701
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: NFL teams. I can already tell you teams needs going

702
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: into the season, weaknesses and strengths just by diving into

703
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: the mock draft looking at who's an upcoming free agent,

704
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: who's filled what in free agency? Like it helps me

705
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: further understand teams in heading into the summer, which I mean,

706
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: again from a gambling perspective, obviously this is massive for me.

707
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: Um And and I'll just say, like, I know people

708
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: scoff and are like, oh, it's clickbait. It's it does

709
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: click extremely well. Um, but it also helps me understand

710
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: what's coming up next in the NFL. And I'll tell

711
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: you this, the Detroit Lions have one of the worst

712
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: rosters in the league. It's I'm gonna be very hard

713
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 1: pressed to ever bet on the Lions next year. And

714
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, Rob nailed it. Like if the Packers

715
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: trade Aaron Rodgers, I don't know how you can bet

716
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: on this team. I've seen nothing from Jordan's love anywhere.

717
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: I don't has he thrown a pass? There was no

718
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: preseason last year. I haven't. I just not familiar with

719
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: his work as Utah State stuff was. I think he

720
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: led the country, and interceptions like uh yeah, so good

721
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: luck with that, packers, and um, we'll talk to you tomorrow.
