I'm playing golf tomorrow, 40 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: so I'm I'm excited. Actually I'm gonna play golf today too. 41 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: I'm recording this Friday morning a lot of golf. You know, 42 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: people like I can't wait to retire and play golf. 43 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: It's like shoot, I play golf in the lot. Okay, 44 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: let's dive into some questions from Clinton. I was curious 45 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: what your thoughts are about the Chargers draft needs and 46 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: if you think it would be beneficial to trade down. Possibly. 47 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: I like Jordan Davis, but seeing as we got two 48 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: d t s through free agency, I believe we need 49 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: to take a look elsewhere. I believe cornerback and wide 50 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: receiver is a must. Keenan is a stud but getting old, 51 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: so I believe the Chargers will move off Keenan sooner 52 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: rather than later. Love the show. My philosophy would be 53 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: in the draft if I don't need a quarterback, would 54 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: always tend to gravitate towards alignment or d Lineman. I 55 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: don't think you can ever go wrong. And if you 56 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: have the chance to draft Jordan Davis, I don't think 57 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: you would because I think he's gonna end up going 58 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: in the top probably ten eleven picks. Just I mean 59 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: he's three fifty, he ran a four eight. I mean 60 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: he waited Georgia. Uh, but if you did, I would 61 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: take him over like Chris Olave because I would go 62 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: I can get a wide receiver later in the draft. 63 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: Now thinking I don't know if your draft picks in 64 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: front of me, but you traded your second round pick 65 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: for Khalil Mack, so you're not gonna have a second 66 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: round pick to get a wide receiver. But I would 67 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: lean line. I just don't think you can go wrong 68 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: with the line and your your your general manager has 69 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: done a good job drafting wide receivers later in the draft. 70 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: I think you need a big running back, you know. 71 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: I think that, to me is a big need for 72 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: you guys. Now you can get that guy in the third, fourth, 73 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: fifth round, but you need a guy that you that 74 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: is physical. You know, you have Austin Ekeler, who was 75 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: a good player, but he's small. I want a big 76 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: like I'm trying to think. I was gonna say Naga Harris. 77 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: Obviously he's a first round guy, but I'm trying to 78 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: think of bigger backs that you can find later. They're 79 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: in the league. Right now, I can't. I don't know 80 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: why my brain isn't working all the It feels like 81 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: the big bruising backs are pretty high drafted guys. But 82 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: just get me some guy that can just pound the 83 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: ball between the tackles. Uh. Whenever NFL related, I look 84 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: forward to what you have to say this from Gerard. 85 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: Appreciate that I'm a big fan of the shitty teams 86 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: New York Jets. Do you think the turnaround? I like 87 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas, but this record since he took over is bad. 88 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: Where do you think they go in the draft? Well, 89 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: they have two picks pretty high, right because they have 90 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: their own they sucked and then Seattle's Uh. Like I said, 91 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: I just don't think you can go wrong with the lines. 92 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: I would go d Lineman early and I'd probably go 93 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: I mean, your guy's defense was atrocious. Now maybe because 94 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: of Zack Wilson. You guys go wide receiver with the 95 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: second pick. Garrett Wilson, Crystal Lave a guy like that. 96 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 1: But I guess you go corner. Um, I mean ship 97 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: when when you're as bad as the Jets, beside a 98 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: deal a pass rusher, which they obviously need now granted 99 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: Carl Lawson towards Achilles, he'd come back from that. Um, 100 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: you guys just need playmakers. Whether it's a sweet corner, 101 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: whether it's a sweet wide receiver. You need everything you know. 102 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: It's like you know when you buy like a fixer rapper. 103 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: It's like where where do we start? Doesn't matter. Knock 104 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: the whole thing down, build it back up from scratch. 105 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: Long question here from Matthew. I think a very under 106 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: the radar development this year is the way Bill Belichick 107 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: is reassembling the secondary. With j C and Gilmore gone. 108 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: We have seen Bill target firstal slot receivers and zone 109 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: dominant outside corners on bargain deals to replace. This represents 110 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: an ideological shift from the last few years of a 111 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: man dominant outside corners on the Patriots playing in a 112 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: man heavy scheme. Last year we saw them play way 113 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: more zone. Got to look at this. Is this like 114 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: Robert Salo in your opinion and what you've been hearing 115 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: this offseason, do you think this is a result of 116 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: a more mobile new quarterback that thrives off extending plays 117 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: and taking running lanes and when presented in key situations 118 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: and playing a man dominant scheme, puts too much stress 119 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: on the corners. This is philosophically genius. I don't I 120 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: haven't really thought this way. Do you expect a trend 121 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: of more zone heavy schemes to continue permande throughout the NFL? Uh? 122 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: I think it depends on your personnel, because if you 123 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: just sit back and play zone all day, if I 124 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: know what I'm doing and I have a good quarterback, 125 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: like I can pick you apart, I can nickel and 126 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: dime you to death. You know, obviously in man situations, 127 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: if you have a weakness on the outside, I can 128 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: take deep shots, I can expose you in one on 129 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: one situations. But I I do think it depends on 130 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: the coordinator just because you're quote unquote running zone own. Well, 131 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: if your players or robots, like I gotta go to 132 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: I I always hate robotic zone defenders, and I see 133 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: it sometimes with the Niners when they go and prevent, 134 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: like Fred Warner just drops to the middle of the 135 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: field because that's his job as a middle linebacker, and 136 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: he just kind of eats grass instead of being instinctual, 137 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: like you can't just like my landmark is seven yards back, 138 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: three yards over. Well, yeah, that's what they teach you 139 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: on the white board and in practice. But what about 140 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: when the wide receiver's freelancing or the guy crossing the 141 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: middle of the field. You know, I I think the 142 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: better teams exposed that there is no perfect coverage. There 143 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 1: is just good coverages against certain teams running certain place. 144 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: So I hear you. I mean I I don't know 145 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: enough about big picture. You know, Bill obviously is a 146 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: schematic genius, so I wouldn't put it past him. But 147 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: I think it's more that he just didn't want to 148 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: pay J. C. Jackson that much money. I live in St. 149 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: Louis and was never a big football guy until after 150 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: the Rams left. Very into fantasy football now and mainly 151 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: followed players, but need advice recommendations on a team to 152 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: root for. I feel like the Chiefs would be too bandwagony. 153 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm also a huge fan of the Racilla Pot and 154 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: feel like Ryan share similar personality. You and Ryan share 155 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: personality traits. I think if you were to do a 156 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: life advice portion of your pot, it would be awesome. 157 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: I know you do the mail bag, which I listen to, 158 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: but I think you do a segment of advice about 159 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: things other sports would really be good, other than sports 160 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: would be good. I thought about that, but then I 161 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: feel like I'm ripping off the segment to me. That's 162 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: why we say in this mail bag you can. You 163 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: don't have to send me questions about the Jets draft. 164 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: You send me questions about anything. I don't care. Um, 165 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: you know I'm I'm open to talk life. Uh. I'm 166 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: not saying I have all the answers, but I'll definitely 167 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: talk some life. I would say team to bandwagony. Buffalo 168 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: Bills haven't won a Super Bowl ever, obviously have had 169 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: just crazy heartbreak early nineties last year. I mean, I 170 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: think the Buffalo Bills would be a fun team, fun quarterback, 171 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: good guy, easy to root for, fun fan base, start 172 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: wearing Bill's gear. I'm a very native and I too, 173 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: lived in Walnut Creek. I want a state championship at 174 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: Daylessal ended up playing rugby at you see Berkeley. Uh, 175 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: you know a little humble brag there. You see Berkeley 176 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: run by Jack Clark, who is probably the most famous 177 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: collegiate rugby coach, and they're pretty good. I had good 178 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: family friends that played there, the Fries, Jason, Eric and 179 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: Chris you might know him. I recently graduated as a hedge, 180 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: fun guy. See colle education. You know, you get sweet 181 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: jobs and I appreciate your business and sports references. I 182 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: love money, so I enjoyed talking about my question as 183 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: a forty Niners fan. Why would the Niners take such 184 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: a big swing and give up so much for Trey 185 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: Lance when they have gone after bigger fish this year 186 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: such as Wilson Ryan or Bean Matt Stafford. What would 187 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: the consequences be long if Lance doesn't play bigger than 188 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: your future? Follow up question, what does the Pack twelve 189 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: need to do to compete with the more dominant conferences 190 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: such as the SEC and Big twelve. If you would 191 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: have told Kyle Shanahan that you could have just signed 192 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: like a Mitch Robisky last year, kept your draft picks, 193 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan would have been available this year, that's 194 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: what he would have done. He can tell say whatever 195 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: he wants and you never have to talk about it. 196 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: But that's exactly what he would have done. If you 197 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: could have just got Matt Ryan for a third round 198 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: pick or even a second round pick and kept Jimmy 199 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: all through this year, that's what he would have done 200 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: and not done the Tray Lance for I mean one 201 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: million percent. Mainly not that he doesn't like Trey Lance, 202 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: He's just he realized it's a major project and he's 203 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: trying to win every game. The Pac twelve just you 204 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: need to spend more money, you need to cheat. I mean, 205 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: you saw Fred Taylor say that Georgia paid him fifty grand. 206 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: Trent Taylor went to college in the mid nineties. The 207 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: SEC is pushing the envelope. They pay to play. Now, 208 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: USC starting to do it Lincoln and they're buying all 209 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: these guys. And obviously it's quote unquote legal now, but 210 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: it's still a shady business in the SEC and the 211 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: Big Ten and the Big twelve will do whatever it 212 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: takes to be great at football. This institutions out west 213 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: are just we care about academics way more than sports, 214 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: which I don't, but they do. And I just don't 215 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: think we're willing to cross the lines that they're willing 216 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: to cross. He was, and he kicked the ship out 217 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: of everyone for five years. But most guys aren't. You know, 218 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly kind of was he brown bag Willie Lyles 219 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: got caught through the guy under the bus. You gotta 220 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: be brown bagging if you want to win. John Wooden 221 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: Google John Wooden. He had a lawyer with the last 222 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: name I think Gilbert. They were paying players in like 223 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: the seventies. You know, this is is how it works. 224 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: You know, It's why I appreciate Arizona basket ball. They 225 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: kind of have this Vegas feel to them there in 226 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere in Tucson. They've always been good 227 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: at hoops, well, hoops the shadiest of the college sports 228 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: because there's less inventory, right, They'll do whatever it takes. 229 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: They will do whatever it takes. That's why they've been 230 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: consistently probably the best program out West. You know, over 231 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: the last thirty years, your USC has had a little run. 232 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: Organs been pretty consistent. You'd say Arizona basketball or or 233 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: Oregan football. I know SC had the peak, but they've 234 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: also been really shitty. I saw it. I saw an 235 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: SC player was like, uh, one of their one of 236 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: their running backs must have been talking to the media 237 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: and he was like, you know, last year, if you 238 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: broke the huddle and you didn't either didn't hear the 239 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: play or you didn't know what the play was. If 240 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: you just ran like a swing route on a passing play, 241 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: you'd be good. He's like, now that that doesn't fly anymore, 242 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: you better know what's going on. It's like, what kind 243 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: of ship was Clay Hilton running, Oh my god, usc 244 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: foot Well, I don't think people quite realize how big 245 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: of an embarrassment they were.

That's pretty cool and a 274 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: lifelong fan of the Gators. That's badass. Question our new 275 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: head coach. Billy Napier worked under Nick Saban and Dabbo, 276 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: and once he landed a head coaching job at Louisiana Lafayette, 277 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: he turned the program around from seven and seven record 278 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: to twelve and one last year, with a forty and 279 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: twelve recent record. During that span. He's known as an 280 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: elite recruiter and through one offseason already has Florida in 281 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: the lead on multiple five and four stars, with more 282 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: momentum than Dan Maullin ever had. What are your thoughts 283 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: and predictions for the future of Florida football and an 284 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: increasingly competitive SEC with a athletic Anthony Richardson at quarterback? Well, 285 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: I think you should be very bullish one the East. 286 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: I don't actually let me rephrase. I was gonna say 287 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: the East sucks it. No longer does. Georgia just won 288 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: the Natty. They have an elite coach in Kirby. Tennessee 289 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: Josh Hyppel was pretty solid, Like Tennessee is gonna be 290 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna be paid Manning T Martin, 291 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: Philip Fumer elite, but they're gonna be good. And Kentucky 292 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: is good. So I would say the East while it's 293 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: not the West, Right, you don't have Bama, you don't 294 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: have l s U with Brian Kelly is gonna be good. 295 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: A and m Ole Miss Mike Leach it's really good, right, 296 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: Auburn a solid, But I think the East is coming. 297 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: So I think Billy Napier he is uh. When I 298 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: was scouting. He worked for Jim mcaway at Colorado State. 299 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: I met him really briefly. I know people really like him. 300 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: He's really a high level coach. But it's hard, you know, 301 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: it's it really is hell. Jim mcaway in Florida was 302 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: going to the SEC championship game and got fired. So 303 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: the expectations in the SEC, which I love, are like 304 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: the NFL. You can't just go eight and four and 305 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: everyone's happy. People expect SEC championship bursts and not just that, 306 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: they expect you to win that game, which is sweet. 307 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I always say the SEC is the NFL. 308 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: Light pays the premium. Coaches are getting a premium. It's covered. 309 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: You know, a ton of people care. It doesn't get 310 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: any better it you know what they're saying. I mean, 311 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: you know you're from there. It just means more. It's true, 312 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: football in the South means way more than it does 313 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: football out here. And football is big in the West 314 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: Coast right, but it ain't even close. We care about 315 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: pro football at here. You guys care, and to me, 316 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: the West Coast cares about pro football. I mean the 317 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: forty Niners, one of the biggest brands in the league, 318 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. When they're good one of the biggest brands 319 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: in the league. The Rams are now a powerhouse. Seattle 320 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: with Russell was a huge needle mover. Uh. Obviously, the 321 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: Northeast with the Eagles, the Giants and the Jets suck, 322 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: but when they're good they do huge television numbers. The Patriots, 323 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: but the Steelers. But in the South, you guys just 324 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: care about college football, which is badass. Recently watched The 325 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: American Underdog, the life story of Kurt Warner and his 326 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: journey to the NFL. Curious to know if you've seen 327 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: it in your thoughts as well as your opinion on 328 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner as a player. I have not seen the movie, 329 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: but I think he's probably one of the most unique 330 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: stories in the history of sports. Right. The guy graduated 331 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: college in nine he bounced around in the Arena League 332 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: on practice squads as a third stringer, and then he 333 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: became the NFL m v P. When Trent Green towards 334 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: a C five years later, I'm trying to think who 335 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: thatot that'd be like, not even because Mr Rubisky started 336 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of games. Think about a player who got 337 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: like it would be like Christian Hackenburg. But not even 338 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: because he played it Northern Illinois or whatever where he 339 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: played in Northern Iowa. I just don't think we'll ever 340 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: see it again. Multiple m v ps, he won a 341 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, he went to another, he's in the Hall 342 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: of Fame after I don't think he started till he 343 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: was like thirty years old, right if he graduated in 344 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: ninety four and then six years later, five five and 345 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 1: a half years later in late ninety nine, So if 346 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: he's twenty three years old, I mean he's thirty years old, 347 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: it's an incredible story. Um. I mean, elite, quick release, 348 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: good arm, accurate, perfect for that scheme. I just think 349 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: he's a one off. I mean, he just they're just 350 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: this is not happening again. Because even like Jim Plunkett, 351 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: who resurrected his career with the Raiders and won Super 352 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: Bowls in like the eighties after being a Heisman Trophy guy, 353 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: drafted high in the early mid seventies, again he was 354 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy winner. Kurt Warner played in a small school. 355 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: No one knew who he was. Just, I mean, it's 356 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: why sports are so cool. What's up with the disrespect 357 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: for the Titans organization. We get it, Ryan Tannehill isn't 358 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl, but the fact that the 359 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: Colts get Matt Ryan and all of a sudden are 360 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: gonna win the division is pretty wild take by most 361 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: of the media. Titans have added Bobby Trees, that's Robert 362 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: Woods and Austin Hooper and most likely will draft another 363 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: wide receiver to give tanny Hill weapons. They were a 364 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: number one seed last year with multiple injuries, and their 365 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: defense is drastically underrated. The best safety combination in the 366 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: league of top ten pass Russian group these guys fired up. 367 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: Colts seemed to have a desperate owner on the verge 368 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: of a breakdown, a GM who's massively overrated. He has 369 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: a forty one and forty record with no type division 370 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: titles or playoff wins, and a coach who's supposed to 371 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: be a quarterback grew if they've cycled through five straight 372 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: years with a new starting quarterback. I hear you don't 373 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: sleep on John Robinson and Mike Vrabel. Those guys are. 374 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: Those guys are winners. So I'm with you. Ballard, who 375 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: I like. I think Ballard is really good, but their 376 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: quarterback situation is what it is. It's been a revolving door. 377 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: I think we have to agree Matt Ryan is an 378 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: upgrade and should stabilize that position, but until they win 379 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: the division. With the Titans now have won what three 380 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: straight years, Like Mike Vrabel. When you say Mike Vrabel, 381 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: just say winner. When you say Mike Vrabel, you just 382 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: say badass. When you say Frank Raich, you go oh. 383 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: They asked the guy that was the assistant coach on 384 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: the Eagle staff. That's the guy that filled in when 385 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels quit. You don't be like, oh, all he's done. 386 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: And Withindy no. Chris Ballard has done a good job 387 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: of drafting right. He drafted a guard six overall. We 388 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: all thought he was nuts. The guy's a Hall of Famer. 389 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: He traded for Buckner the thirteenth overall pick. I thought 390 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: he was nuts. Buckler's been unreal. Darius Leonard in the 391 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: second round, he's he doesn't coach the team now it's 392 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: his job to find a quarterback or say, you know 393 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: it is a nut job. But yeah, I mean the 394 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: Titans are the team to beat. I'm a Titans guy, 395 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: I'm a j Rob guy, I'm a rebel guy. Not 396 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: a Tanny Hill guy, but I'm a Derrick Henry guy. 397 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: I'm a huge Nashville guy. Big dreams of owner in 398 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: a pad there one day. Just just love that place. 399 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: Been there once, um at the time of my life. 400 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: Which bottom six teams do you think could have a 401 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: breakout next year? Jaguars, no Lions, No Texans, probably not Jets. 402 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: No Panthers, no Giants, No, none of them. I guess 403 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: the Panthers of somehow they figured out their quarterback situation. 404 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: It feels unlikely to me. The Texans are just in 405 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: complete rebuild mode. The Lions stink, the Jags their divisions 406 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: not bad. I mean, the Jets are or the like 407 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: you said, the Texans, they're just feisty. The Colts and 408 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: Titans are just way better now. Doug is a huge 409 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: upgrade from fraud Meyer. But I don't like any I 410 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: think all these teams are just continuing to kind of 411 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 1: reset and rebuild. Mike from Philly, been listening to your 412 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: pods for a month now and like a lot of 413 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: your opinions in regard to NFL stories. Appreciate Buddy. I'm 414 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: a lifelong Steelers fan, and my question is, if given 415 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: the choice between Mitch or Baker at quarterback, who are 416 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: you taking? Baker? Mayfield a better player? Uh So? I 417 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: think Mitch is a much better guy. Mitch is just 418 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: a normal, likable player. Baker clearly rubs people the wrong way. 419 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: Whether it's ego, whether it's false bravado, whether it's arrogance, 420 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. But to me, Mitch people like him. 421 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: Baker clearly it's very hit or miss on that no 422 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: one's ever said they Mitch is not mature, right, but 423 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: Baker is dramatically better. Mitch is not an accurate player. 424 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: Mitch does not have great touch. There are throws that 425 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: Mitch Drabinsky simply does not make. Now did Brian Dable 426 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: and the Bills just fix them overnight? Doubt it, But 427 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: if they did, then it'll be pretty impressive. Ultimately, when healthy, 428 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: Baker is just a much better thrower of the football. Now, 429 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: Mitch better athlete can move. Um, you know, has some 430 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: positives that Baker does not. But ultimately, you get paid 431 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: in the league to throw the ball, and I just 432 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: do not trust when misstrass back to throw the ball 433 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: to the right spot. I've been a big Eagles fan 434 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: all my life. How your husband has been pretty bad 435 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: making first round draft picks. How do you think we 436 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: should attack the upcoming draft. Also, I see rumors about 437 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: US trading for DeVante Parker. Uh. I think DeVante Parker solid. 438 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: I'd be lying if I said I've studied much Miami 439 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: Dolphins film and DeVante Parker, but he's clearly resurrected his 440 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: career in the last couple of years. I'm not sure 441 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: his contract status, but you know clearly how they wanted 442 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley and then it turns out Calvin Ridley was, 443 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, slinging bets at the local MGM and god 444 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: S spended a year. If they want to draft or 445 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: traded like a second round pick for Calvin Ridley, they 446 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: would have been in really good shape. I mean, Calvin 447 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: Ridley with Deavante Smith and Dallas Goddard and Miles Sanders, 448 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. In their offensive line, it's pretty nasty offense. 449 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: I think that. I think they're gonna draft well. I 450 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: know the Jalen Reagor pick they'd like to do over, 451 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: but last year they drafted well. Davante Smith is going 452 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: to be a stud. Landed Dickerson's a stud. You don't 453 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: hit on every pick. You know, you just don't. I 454 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: think if they hit on two of these three picks, 455 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: they're they were in great shape. They have a good 456 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: offensive and defensive line. If you have a good offensive 457 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: and defensive line and just a capable quarterback. I don't 458 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: love Jalen, but I do appreciate his work ethic and 459 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: his drive and how much he cares. But they're O 460 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: lines good, their D line is good, and if they 461 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: hit on two of these three players are in good shape. Hey, 462 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: John love the pod. How did you start your career 463 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: and what was your these steps you had to take 464 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: to make it all happen. I wanted to learn how 465 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: to become someone like you involved in the sports industry. Well, 466 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: you basically give up your twenties. You don't make much money. 467 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: You work all the time. One thing when you work 468 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: in sports, whether you're Diard, football guy, basketball guy, basically 469 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: you don't. This isn't a Monday through Friday nine to 470 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: five gig. And like my friends that went to real 471 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: estate or you know, finance or whatever, like you don't 472 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: get a hundred grand coming out of college. You ain't 473 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: making six figures more than likely in your twenties. So 474 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: you don't make any money. You work a ship load. Now, 475 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: if you know what you're doing, as you turn the 476 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: corner in your thirties, opportunities arise. But the number one 477 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: thing I would say to any young person, if it's 478 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: what you want to do, you gotta put all your 479 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: chips in the middle of the table and just grind, 480 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: grind in your twenties. Now, for me, I kept doing. 481 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: I didn't make that much money even into my early thirties, 482 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: and then it kind of popped the last three or 483 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: four years. But you know, it's whatever quote unquote financial 484 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: success or success of people listen to podcast or whatever. 485 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: I would say, This did not happen overnight. Is something 486 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: that I've been doing since oh seven, you know, oh 487 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: seven to like two thousand, fifteen, seven, sixteen seventeen, just 488 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: swinging my pick, digging ditches the equivalent. I mean, obviously 489 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: it's talking watching sports. It's not that hard. I mean 490 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: hard jobs. Is working construction hard jobs. My dad was 491 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: a farmer. Get on the hoeing crew in the middle 492 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: of summer at twelve degrees and do that for twelve 493 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: straight hours. Like that's hard work. This is fucking easy. 494 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: This is this is cake walk. You know, this is 495 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: white collar work at its finest. Uh, But you gotta 496 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: put in the time, and the time equity is the 497 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: game changer. It's why it's hard to do it, like 498 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: get into it later. You know, My credibility was built 499 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: because I worked in the NFL and college football, and 500 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: those were you know, five and a half years of 501 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: making nothing, working insane hours and giving up all my time. 502 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: No girlfriend. I mean I dated a little bit, but no, 503 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: like no life outside of that. I wasn't going to 504 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: Spain for vacation, you know, I wasn't heading to Cancoon. 505 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: You're just I couldn't do it now, But looking back, 506 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: I was so invested that I didn't even see another option, 507 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: you know. So I had to do it when I 508 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: was young, and luckily it worked out where it's it's 509 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: working out. We'll see, you know, I could change. What 510 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: did Denzel say after Will Smith slapp Chris Rock The 511 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 1: devil comes for you right when you're on top. I'm 512 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: not saying that I'm on top by any means. I 513 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: don't feel at all. I don't even feel close to arriving. 514 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm just just starting, like anyone should. 515 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: You know, A lot of people like, yeah, if you 516 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: would have told me twenty years old, a guy that's 517 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: thirty seven, how old I feel so young? If you're twenty, 518 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: you know young, you know how much life you have, 519 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: these opportunities you have to fail. I'd say the best 520 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: thing that ever happened to me, for sure, it was 521 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: failing getting fired, I tell you, I mean getting fired 522 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: by far the best thing that ever happened to me 523 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: in football, and then radio change my life. You don't fail, 524 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: you learn. Isn't that the old adage? Which it doesn't 525 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: sound it doesn't feel like that at the time, but 526 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: usually looking back, it's the best area for growth. Try things, 527 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: invest a lot of time when you're young, and just 528 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: see what happens. And you don't know. I mean, I'm 529 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: not a big like mapping out my life. I'm just 530 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: kind of go with the flow guy. But be all in. 531 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: When I'm go with the flow would be probably a 532 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: little loose, but just you know's quote unquote be where 533 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: your feet are.
