1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Oh, what is going on? I hope you're enjoying your

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: early morning hour festivities over here. Whether you're driving like

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: a long distance like Alejandro, or you're doing bong hits

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: like Blind Scott. We got an eclectic audience over here.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: Whether you're taking a nap like the neighborhood cat Oreo

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: on the couch just in front of me, you know,

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: whatever's going on in your life. However, everything's going well.

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: So I think this is a much needed change for

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. They are going to play their starters,

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: maybe several reps Thursday night, you know, so a little

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: bit later today we get some NFL action. You'll see

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow out there. The head coach, Zach Taylor. He

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: talked about several series potentially for some of the starters.

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: So I don't know how much time they're gonna get,

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: but Joe Burrow is expected to play, some of the

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: ones are expected to play. And I think this makes

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: a lot of sense because what's the what's the bugaboo

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: with the Bengals, it's how slowly they start. They're notoriously

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: slow starters. They lost to the Patriots in Week one

20
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: last season. It was a big upset. It was Drod

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Mayo's first game as a head coach, Like Bengals are

22
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: huge home favorites and they lose, and the Patriots won

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: three more games the entire season, you know, and Drod

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: Mayo got fired. That team that fired their first year

25
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: head coach beat the Bengals in Week one. And Joe

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: Burrow in his career in weeks one and two, his

27
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,639
Speaker 1: record is one and nine. That's what he is weeks

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: one and two in his NFL career. That is stunning.

29
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: That is alarmingly low for a guy that's had as

30
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: much success as Joe Burrow has had in the NFL.

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: And the numbers, like you see some of these graphics

32
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: that they put up there, and it's just like, holy cow,

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: is passer ratings way lower. We're talking like twenty three

34
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: points lower in weeks one and two compared to weeks

35
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: that are not one and two, right like weeks three

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: through eighteen. His passer rating is one oh four point five.

37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: His passer rating weeks one in two eighty one point nine.

38
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 1: And then touchdowns, interceptions, completion percentage, all that stuff. Yardsberg

39
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: game like, there's something too Joe Burrow and the Bengals

40
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: starters not playing in the preseason. So what's the definition

41
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: of insanity like doing the same thing over and over

42
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: and expecting a different result. If the Bengals are just like, yeah,

43
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: let's just keep not playing our starters in the preseason,

44
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: and well, I mean, hopefully we'll just magically get off

45
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: to a better start even though we suck year in

46
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: and year out in the first two weeks of the season.

47
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: It's like, you could either do that or I don't know,

48
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: maybe play your starters a little bit more in the preseason.

49
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you're able to hit the ground running when the

50
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: regular season rolls around. I do think there's something to it.

51
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: I just don't I don't buy that there's zero value

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: whatsoever with playing your starters in the preseason. I think

53
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: it's swung too far in that direction. I mentioned this

54
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: last night. The Chiefs. They play their starters like Mahomes

55
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: he plays in the preseason. If there was no value whatsoever,

56
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: why on earth would Andy Reid have his starters on

57
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: the field. He has him on the field because there

58
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: is some value. I don't want to oversell it and

59
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: make it sound like, hey, if you don't play your

60
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: starters in the preseason, your season is doomed, your destined

61
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: to get off to a slow start. I'm not saying that,

62
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: but for a team like the Bengals, who have notoriously

63
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: started slowly for years now, it's like, why don't you

64
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: try it? Why don't you try a different approach? Play

65
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: the ones more often in the preseason, and maybe they

66
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: can have a positive effect with not starting as slowly

67
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: when the regular season rolls around. I think that makes

68
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: a ton of sense. So Joe Burrow and the other starters,

69
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: maybe several series on Thursday night, the preseason opener at

70
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Get the Bengals and Eagles on Thursday nights,

71
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: so hey, man, sign me up. If the starters are playing.

72
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: I love getting a little taste of the starters a

73
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: series or two. Just see them again, you know, see

74
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: what they're looking like. Does anybody flash? They're not game planning,

75
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna read too deeply into it, but

76
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 1: every now and then a starter will flash and it's like, oh, okay,

77
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: all right, that's something to take away. The golden rule

78
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: of preseason, like who's on the field, Like how many

79
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: starters are there? Let's not overreact if it's the starting

80
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: offense against the backup defense. That's a it's an easy

81
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: overreaction right there, right, But I also think that some

82
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: things translate to the regular season, even if you are

83
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: facing backups every now and then. There's a certain scenario.

84
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: I'll give you one. So Amari and Hampton's a rookie

85
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: running back for the Chargers. He played in the Hall

86
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: of Fame game, just got a couple of rushes and

87
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: it was against mostly the Lions backup defense. So you

88
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: might think, oh, who cares he's facing backups. I don't

89
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: think everything is that clear cut. My brief spiel on

90
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: the preseason, Okay, it depends. It's case by case. If

91
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: there's a number one wide receiver and he blows by

92
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: like a number two, number three cornerback, and the quarterback's like,

93
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: all right, my guy's opened by five steps. Like that's

94
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: not going to translate to the regular season. That's not

95
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. We all know that, and that does happen

96
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: in the preseason. And when people fall for that, I'm like,

97
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what are you doing. But Amari and Hampton,

98
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: he had one carry in particular against the Lions, and

99
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: you just tell the guy's got burst, he's got feel,

100
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: he's got some juice. It was just like this inside

101
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: running play. They just kind of bounced it outside and

102
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: he found the opening, found the daylight, and got everything

103
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: he could get. It was a good rush and some

104
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: of it's, you know, connected to his time at North

105
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: Carolina and he had juice. Man Omarion Hampton is legit.

106
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: I think he's a really good running back. But stuff

107
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: like that, even against mostly backups, there are times where

108
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, yeah, that's gonna translate, that's gonna work.

109
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, I do enjoy watching the preseason, but man,

110
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: when it gets to like backups against backups, or the

111
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: backups of the backups versus the backups of the backups,

112
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: that it's like, okay, all right, it's a little rough.

113
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: But when you get the starters in there, yes me up.

114
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: Man might see a little bit of Bengal starters, including

115
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow on Thursday night. I'll be checking that out.

116
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: Now.

117
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: Something else. I mentioned this a little bit ago. We'll

118
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: finally pay it off. But the way that you might

119
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: watch sports going forward, So there's a big change where

120
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure you heard about the deal between ESPN and

121
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: NFL Network where ESPN they take over NFL Network basically,

122
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: and some of the properties, like they have distribution rights

123
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: to red Zone, to NFL Fantasy and NFL Network they

124
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: own ten percent. They have a ten percent ownership stake

125
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: in ESPN. Now, I'll cut right to the chase. I'll

126
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I'm not smart enough to understand

127
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: all this stuff and what it's meaning and where it's

128
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: headed and what it means for you and me. I mean,

129
00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: I know some, but I can't foresee exactly how this

130
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: is going to play out. But one thing that I

131
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: do know that I do find interesting is Roger Gondell.

132
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: He was on ESPN on Wednesday and he was talking

133
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: about red zone and what that might mean for other sports.

134
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: This I find to be pretty interesting.

135
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: Here's goodell, ESPN purchase the red zone name and they

136
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 3: will be able to utilize that for other sports college

137
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: football and other things. And I think that could be

138
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: an exciting thing for our fans also to see a

139
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: red zone maybe in college football or other sports.

140
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: That's something that they.

141
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: Now own and have the ability to do that. But

142
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: as far as red zone, NFL red Zone, there won't

143
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 3: be any changes for our fans.

144
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so how about that. No change for

145
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: NFL red zone, But what do you think about the

146
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: possibility of a college football like red zone? Maybe you

147
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: expand this. You do this in the NBA, you do

148
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: this at times in MLB. What if you had, especially

149
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: for opening day, how do you not have at least

150
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: a special red zone presentation. It's just one of the channels.

151
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: If that's your thing, check it out. If you just

152
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: want to see a standalone game, that's fine, they're gonna

153
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: be offered as well. But if you want to, you know,

154
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: check out some MLB opening day red zone, that should

155
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: be available. They should absolutely make that available. You get

156
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: a little whip around coverage. It's like, all right, we're

157
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: checking out the reds game right now. All right, let's

158
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: move it on to the Angels. They got a couple

159
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: of runners in scoring position. Let's see what they're doing.

160
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: I'd be all about that. Maybe it's not on a

161
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: daily basis. It's maybe it's once, you know, for opening Day,

162
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: and you get a couple other times during the season.

163
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: I don't know.

164
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: If it's popular enough, they'll have that thing on all

165
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: the freaking they'll have it on a nightly basis if

166
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: it's popular enough, but why not give it a shot?

167
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: They do something kind of similar in the NBA, or

168
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: it's at least on the NBA APP. I forget. I

169
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: think they call like game time something like that. But

170
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: Jared Greenberg, he hosts it, he works, I believe for TNT.

171
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: He does a lot of sideline interviews, does a really

172
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: good job with that. He's kind of like the Scott

173
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: Hansen for game Time, and he's at the central headquarters

174
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: and he's like, all right, we got a close game

175
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: out here in Milwaukee. Let's go over to the Bucks game.

176
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: And they just whip around. It's fine, it's good. I

177
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: don't know why that isn't offered more. If red zone

178
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: is so incredibly popular, like dip it, college football would

179
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: be great, Like if they had, you could have red

180
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: zone for so many different games. You could have whatever,

181
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: like a package of games. Think that there are what

182
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: we'll say, eight ish early kick games in the NFL.

183
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: You could have different you know, so many games in

184
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: college you're going on at the same time. You could

185
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: have Okay, this is our group of eight, this is

186
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, these eight teams. Are these eight games or

187
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: in you know Group A, these other eight games are

188
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: in Group B. These other eight games, they're in Group

189
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: C for red zone, Like and it's like, okay, let's

190
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: check that out. Let me let me get a little

191
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: taste of whatever. We're checking out Boston College and then

192
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: UCF or if you get a little bit of whip

193
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: around coverage like that red zone coverage, I would absolutely

194
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: have that on one of my screens. So yeah, I

195
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: think that's pretty cool. I think that if you dip

196
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: into it beyond the NFL, I would be interested in

197
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: checking that out. So I think they could be successful

198
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: with that. There's certainly a market for it. It's like,

199
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: if NFL red zone is that popular, how could college

200
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: football red zone just be a complete swing in a

201
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: miss total dud. I just doubt it would be. There

202
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: are enough football siccos out there where they'd at least

203
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: put it on one of their screens. I'll be honest

204
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: with you, Like I like having all the games available,

205
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: Like I tried to, I got my computer going, I

206
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: got other screens going on at the same time. I

207
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: want to see the full game. But I'm not as

208
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: big of a red zone guy because I want to

209
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: be able to Okay, I want to be able to choose. Okay,

210
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers game is getting good. I want to screen

211
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: on the Steelers game. You know, my Dolphins are actually

212
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: making a little bit of noise. Wow, who would have thunk, right,

213
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: I want the Dolphins game right there. I want access

214
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: to all that stuff. So I'm not a huge red

215
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: zone guy, which sounds like a total contradiction, but I

216
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: know there's a big market out there for it. Some

217
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: people swear by it, they love it, And you know,

218
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm a bigger NFL guy than college football. Although I

219
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: love my college football, I don't feel the need to

220
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: have every college football game on. I don't need that.

221
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: I would like, you know, a handful that I'm interested

222
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: in available, and then I might put red zone on

223
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: the screen and they do the whip around coverage for me.

224
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: I would certainly be up for that. So we'll see

225
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: where it goes. Man, But now that ESPN has that,

226
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: they should look to tap into it and expand it,

227
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: and most most likely they will. But that's one of

228
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: the areas that it could be heading next. You're gonna

229
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: see red zone coverage for more sports, Baseball, basketball, maybe

230
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: college football. And I don't think you're gonna go, you

231
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: know over. I don't think it's just like, yeah, they

232
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: don't like MLB red zone. Now they they hate NBA

233
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: red zone. Hey, they really hate college football red zone.

234
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's gonna be a swing and

235
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: a miss all across the board. I don't see that happening,

236
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: all right, Feel free to check in Militia eight seven

240
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: that is just absolutely focused on the wrong thing. There's

241

244
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: completely wrong motive to have. I'm Brian though in for

264
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: wearing me out at the same time. I don't want

265
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,400

266
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: But let me go to Jerome first. Jerome is in Charleston,

267

Speaker 1: going on, Bud? You're on Fox Sports Radio.

269

Speaker 6: Hey, I just want to know something. I can't wait

270
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 6: through the red zone. Do that. Whip around to Northwestern

271
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 6: football and their brand new eight hundred million dollars stadium

272
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 6: that opens next year. Where was the last time Northwestern

273
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 6: was Delvin football? Okay, so one can you tell me

274
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 6: that they can build an eight hundred million dollars stadium

275
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 6: when they got like about five hundred million for one

276
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 6: guy because he's like several billions into the billions something Northwestern.

277
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 6: You got all these Northwestern people. All fucks, what the

278
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 6: AFEs Northwestern know about football?

279
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe they're hell, maybe they're on the big Thanks Jerome.

280
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: After the stadium gets killed, you know, look out for

281
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: Northwestern wildcat football.

282
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 6: Man, you must be acid, be there for north Western football.

283
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 6: Are they doing the damn conference? I mean, nobody talked

284
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 6: about them. You got more blond than you got the

285
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 6: other guy from old Fox. They talk about everything except

286
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 6: to one damn school and then been all for forever.

287
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 6: You know. So now I guess the guys get some

288
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 6: headlines with a eight hundred million dollars stadium and it

289
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 6: costs like sixty grand a year to go to school. Man,

290
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 6: it must be nice. It must be nice.

291
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, well, hey man, we'll see, we'll see if

292
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: it does anything for him. And I like your idea

293
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: of red zone coverage of college football. You know we'll

294
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: have that, I think in the not too distant future.

295
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: So hey man, we'll see how that works out. Uh.

296
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think we'd be talking northwayn football, But I

297
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: mean I appreciate you your contribution over here, Jerome. Always

298
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: good to hear from you. Love Charleston, beautiful area right

299
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: there by the way. For over forty years, ty Iraq

300
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: has been helping customers find the right tires for how,

301
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: what and where they drive, ship fast and free back

302
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like

303
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: mobile tire installation ti iraq dot com. The way tire

304
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: buying should be. Okay, I will make this quick and painless,

305
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: but I heard some sound and I just wanted to

306
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: throw it your way and just give you a quick

307
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: two cents on it. So I get the feeling that

308
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: this Micah Parson's contract hold out and the whole storyline

309
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: with Jerry Jones, it's starting to wear you thin. It's

310
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: wearing me thin where I just don't understand the approach whatsoever.

311
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: But this was the comment that Jerry Jones made on Wednesday,

312
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: comparing the contract negotiation to a handshake deal he made

313
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: way back when to purchase the Dallas Cowboys franchise. Here

314
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: you go, here's Jerry.

315
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 7: I bought the Dallas Cowboys with a handshake. Took about

316
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 7: thirty seconds, and I gave the number, shook hands. The

317
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 7: details we worked out later. As a matter of fact,

318
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 7: one of the details involved a lot of money and

319
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 7: we had to flip a coin over that. But the

320
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 7: fundamental I'm buying and you're going to sell it to

321
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 7: me for that range, that's done, and those are done

322
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 7: with eye contact or handshake. There is no question that

323
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 7: in the case of a player or contract, you have

324
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 7: to have it in writing. All parties do we have

325
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 7: a contract in writing, Yet we're still talking about renegotiating it.

326
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 7: So so much for that.

327
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So a couple of quick and painless takeaways from this.

328
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: What I take away is I've heard a lot of

329
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: people say over the years that men, if you have

330
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: bad management, if you have bad ownership, you're kind of screwed.

331
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: And I'd hear that and I'd be like, yeah, it

332
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: makes some sense, and until you really experience that. If

333
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: you've had a job and you've had just bad management,

334
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: and those are the people in charge and there isn't

335
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: anybody else to tell them, no, that's a freaking awful idea. Man,

336
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: It's true, you are screwed. And that's where I see

337
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys like Jerry Jones, it's obvious he's focused

338
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: on the wrong thing. He's focused on winning the pr battle.

339
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: That's what he's focused on. I mean, think about some

340
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: of his recent comments. Think about what you just heard

341
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: right there. If you break it down, a lot of

342
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: it is I'm not the bad guy. That's really what

343
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: it is. He's trying to win some br battle where

344
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, when I bought the Cowboys, it was

345
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: a handshake deal. That's how we did it, and he's

346
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: insinuating that they basically had a handshake deal. At least

347
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: he thinks that with Michaeh Parsons, and so he's like,

348
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm not the bad guy, Mike, I thought we had

349
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: a deal over here. He's thrown it out there, but

350
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: get hinted that maybe he's made an offer around two

351
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars, which I don't believe. But again it's like,

352
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm not the bad guy. I've made a significant offer.

353
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: I thought we had a deal done, and yet here

354
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: we are still renegotiating, Like I'm not the bad guy.

355
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: Micah is the one holding this whole thing up. I

356
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: think it's a terrible approach. I think he's focused on

357
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: the wrong thing. Meanwhile, Jerry Jones won't meet with Michah

358
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: Parsons agent that would kind of help things get done, right,

359
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: So Jerry is totally at fault, and instead of accepting

360
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: that responsibility, he's playing this game of don't look at me,

361
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 1: I'm not the bad guy. I'm not the one holding

362
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: this thing up. It's like, dude, that's not gonna work.

363
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: It's not gonna help get this done. All it's gonna

364
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: do is royally tick off Michah Parsons, which is why

365
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: he asked for a trade, and partly a negotiating tactic. Right,

366
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: But a lot of what this traces back to, you're

367
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: trying to win some pr battle instead of being a

368
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: responsible adult and saying, okay, regardless of how I purchased

369
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys way back when, not every deal is

370
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: gonna work the same way. And just because you think

371
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: you have a deal hammered out with Micah Parsons without

372
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: involving his agent, guess what, probably not gonna be hammered out.

373
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 1: So it's just annoying. It's just such a waste of

374
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: time to play this unnecessary game of I'm not the

375
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: bad guy. How is that gonna help the negotiation process.

376
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm not the bad guy, Micah Parsons is. That's really

377
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: when you read between the lines what Jerry Jones is

378
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: angling for, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And meanwhile

379
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: the price tag just goes higher and higher and higher.

380
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: They might have been able to I found this interesting.

381
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: The average salaries per year. So after the twenty three season,

382
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa had a thirty four million dollar average, okay,

383
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: and around that time that's when the Cowboys could have

384
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: hammered out a deal with Michael Parsons. They didn't, which

385
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: is why they are where they are. Since then, we've

386
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: seen Jamar Chase get forty million dollars per year, Miles

387
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: Garrett get forty million dollars per year, and there have

388
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: been a couple more contracts that are higher than Nick Bosas,

389
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: justin Jefferson, Max Crosby. Those guys make thirty five million

390
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: dollars per year, so signing Parsons that could be in

391
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: the forty one million dollars per year range when they

392
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: could have been around thirty five ish. So this could

393
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: cost him about six million dollars per season. Because they've

394
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: dragged this thing out and instead of finally hammering it out.

395
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is playing this game of I'm not the

396
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: bad guy. It's kind of like that guy over there,

397
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: the guy that wears number eleven. I've made the two

398
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar ish offer. I thought we had a

399
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: deal out. We still don't. We're still renegotiating. Why is

400
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: that huh the number eleven right over there him, Bro,

401
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: stop pointing the finger at your star player and just

402
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: work with the star players agent and hammer this out

403
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: so it's finally freaking done. My gosh, it's not that difficult.

404
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: He's making something that is not difficult the most difficult

405
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: thing ever, and it's annoying. That's where why we are

406
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: where we are. I'm Brian no In for Big Ben

Speaker 1: we get out of here. I'm gonna try to shoehorn

415
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes bite size is the better way to go.

416
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, instead of like a long drawn out thought,

417
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: just get to it and move it on. Yeah. Okay,

418
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: So a couple of coaches got me thinking their approach

419
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: and do you think this is the right approach or

420
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: the wrong approach? So, Coop, you're a Denver Broncos are

421
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: involved in this one is Sean Payton. Now, Sean Payton

422
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: has mentioned the Super Bowl. Right, He's thrown it out

423
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: there like, hey, you know, Broncos super Bowl kind of

424
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: thinking it's a possibility over here. He's thrown it out there,

425
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: and I don't hate the approach. I don't hate it,

426
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: but it's an interesting like tactic to use. He says,

427
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos can win the Super Bowl. And it's like, wow,

428
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: you've had the Chiefs that have won the division nine

429
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: years in a row. Mahomes has won it seven years

430
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: in a row, but Andy Reid has been there and

431
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: they've won it nine years in a row. They've won

432
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: it two years in a row before Mahomes even got there.

433
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: So it's been a long reign for the Chiefs. So

434
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: there's there are two schools of thought here. You could say, man,

435
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: you should be focused on the Chiefs first before you're

436
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: talking about a super Bowl. Or you could say, hey, man,

437
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: why not think bigger? What's the harm in thinking big

438
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: having a huge goal, the biggest goal you could have

439
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I don't think it's necessarily wrong. And

440
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: by the same token, you've got another coach, Dabo Sweeney

441
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: at Clemson. He threw it out there where he's like,

442
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: I think we could be the first sixteen and oh

443
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: team in college football history, and it's like, WHOA, Okay, Dabo, Like, Wow,

444
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: we haven't seen Clemson get far in the playoff for

445
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: a while now, and now we're talking sixteen and oh.

446
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: I know they've got talent, they've got a favorable schedule

447
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: at YadA YadA, But man, sixteen and oh and being

448
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: the only team that's ever done that, that's a pretty

449
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: bold claim. So I just I find that to be interesting. Now,

450
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: on one side, I always think of this Brian Billicks

451
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: sound bite. So, Brian Billick used to be the head

452
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: coach the Baltimore Ravens. He was the head coach when

453
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: the two thousand Ravens won the Super Bowl. One of

454
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: the most dominant defenses of all time. They smacked around

455
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: the Giants thirty four to six to win it. You

456
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: know that whole thing. But there's I think epic sound

457
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: of Brian Billick talking about having big goals, like he

458
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: put it out there, Hey guys, it's time to win

459
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: a super Bowl before they even played a playoff game

460
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: in that two thousand season. But this was part of

461
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: what Brian Billick said way back then. Check it out, folks.

462
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 7: When you go into the Lions, Dan, you don't tippy

463
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 7: toe in, you carry a spear.

464
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 6: You go in screaming like a banshee, and you kick it.

465
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 7: You kick whatever door's in and say, where's the sun

466
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 7: of a If you go in any other way, you're

467
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 7: gonna lose.

468
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So the brash approach like let's go

469
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: it's time to win a super Bowl, it's time to

470
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: go sixteen, and oh let's do it over here, all right.

471
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. Now. There is

472
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: another side to it, though, And every now and then

473
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: you get the Rex Ryan guarantees when he was with

474
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: the Jets, and it just turns into a circus. It

475
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: turns into a side show and you're like, yeah, you guys,

476
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: aren't quite good enough for that, and I don't know

477
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: if that approach really gonna work. So it's a tough one, right,

478
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: it's a tough one because fundamentally, I don't have a

479
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: problem with big goals. There was a famous saying with

480
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: Lou Holtz from a long time ago, and I can't

481
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: remember it exactly, but he's basically saying, whatever your goal is,

482
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna reach a little bit less than that goal,

483
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: so why not have the biggest goal possible? And he

484
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: broke it there. It was like, if you reach for,

485
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, to be above average, you're probably gonna be average.

486
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: If you reach for greatness, you're probably gonna be above average.

487
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: If you reach for excellence, maybe you'll achieve greatness. Right,

488
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: you get the point. So you want to have you

489
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: strive for these huge goals because you might achieve something

490
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: a little bit lower than that huge goal. So that

491
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: would apply to the Broncos Clemson football. Okay, no problem,

492
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: But I also think that you at least have to

493
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: have a fighting chance to achieve something great. And does

494
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: Clemson have a fighting chance for sixteen to zero? I mean,

495
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: it's an outside chance, but it's at least a fighting chance.

496
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: So I don't think that's ridiculous. Do the Broncos have

497
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: a fighting chance to win the Super Bowl?

498
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 7: Coop?

499
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: What are their Super Bowl odds?

500
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: Again?

501
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: You just told me what are they to win it?

502
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 6: All?

503
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 4: Plus three thousand?

504
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so thirty to one for the Broncos to win

505
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? Long odds, but fighting chance. They got

506
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: a real defense with that, you know, local star Zach

507
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: Allen they have. They have a really good defense. I

508
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: didn't think they were going to be as good as

509
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: they were, top five scoring defense. I'm like, wow, okay,

510
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: all right, we're cooking with grease over here. Denver bow

511
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: Knicks takes a step forward. You know, they had enough

512
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: offense to win double digit games at bow Knicks. And

513
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: was that bo cooking it up? Cooking up some huge

514
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: stats over there? That's right, they have a running game.

515
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: You gotta get R. J. Harvey, the rookie, getting getting

516
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: him going over there, like, I mean, crazier things have happened.

517
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm not betting on the Broncos to win a Super Bowl,

518
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: and I don't think this is something that's going to linger.

519
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: Let's just say the Broncos get off to a rough

520
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: start or you know, they've got an okay record, They're

521
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: not special. I don't think this is going to be

522
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: something that's thrown in the face of Sean Payton over

523
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: and over again, Like, dude, you're you're six and five,

524
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: you were talking super Bowl at the beginning of the year.

525
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: What's up with this?

526
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 3: You know.

527
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's one of those things. This

528
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: is going to be thrown at him time and time

529
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: and time again. So what I do.

530
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 8: I do think that I think that quote was taken

531
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 8: a little bit out of context. I mean, he did

532
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 8: say that they're capable of winning the super Bowl, mm hmm,

533
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 8: But I think before that he did say that the

534
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 8: short term goal was winning the division.

535
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: Fair enough, Okay, so he says they're capable of winning

536
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. But you know as well as I do, Coop,

537
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: if you throw it out there, that's what people are

538
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: going to be fixated on. And he's been long enough

539
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: to know that.

540
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah right, Yeah, those are the headlines.

541
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 8: But I do think it also kind of like it,

542
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 8: you know, gets the like the I think it's good

543
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 8: for the team to hear that, you know, coach coach

544
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 8: believes in us.

545
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I think there's I think there's some

546
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: positive stuff that goes along with it. It's like Sean

547
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: Payton says the Broncos are capable of winning the Super Bowl,

548
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: and his quote is, this is my seventh team that

549
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: I think has that like that potential to win it all.

550
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: That's an interesting statement.

551
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 4: All I love that.

552
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: Think about all the years that he's been a head

553
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: coach and he's like, yeah, it's the seventh time I've

554
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: believed we could win it all. How many of those

555
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: Saints teams are like, what's up of that? What he

556
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: didn't believe in us in that one season.

557
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: To win it all?

558
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 4: I bet it's probably not.

559
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 8: I mean, like, you know, it'd be very time consuming,

560
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 8: but it's probably not too difficult to go back and

561
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 8: look at each of those and pick out the seven

562
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, Well, some.

563
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: Of them would be very obvious, you know, like, yeah,

564
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: the time they got ripped off against the Rams, not

565
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: the Rams fault, but obvious pass interference penalty that wasn't called. Yes,

566
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: they could have ran out the clock, chip shot field goal.

567
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: They're going to the Super Bowl as the worst non

568
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: call in NFL history easily. It was blatant pass interference,

569
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: so I know he believed they could have won it all.

570
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, some of those Saints teams were really special,

571
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, the non obvious ones.

572
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

573
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: There might be a season and there, like coach, really

574
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: you thought you were You guys were like seven to

575
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: ten that year. Whoa, yeah, that sort of thing. But okay,

576
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. But yeah, big goals not

577
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: automatically bad. I just think you gotta have a fighting

578
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: chance to achieve that goal because otherwise, like with Rex

579
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,479
Speaker 1: Ryan and throwing out the guaranteed Super Bowl win, they

580
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: made it to the AFC Championship Game twice. That's pretty

581
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: good for those Jets teams at the time. Mark Sanchez

582
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: is their quarterback. They have great talent up and down

583
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: the roster. Good, not great. And if Rex isn't talking

584
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: about guaranteeing Super Bowls, I think you'd look at those

585
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: championship game appearances a lot more favorably, like that was

586
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: pretty good. So I think it's a downside. That's only

587
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: one of the only downsides is when you really really

588
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: dream big and talk tough, like Dad was talking sixteen

589
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: to zero. If they lose three games, three, four games,

590
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: this year, he's gonna be a tot punchline. That's the

591
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: chance you take, man, it's big chance. We'll see how

592
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: it unfolds. I'm not automatically against it. I just think

593
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: you got to have a fighting chance and you got

594
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: to be comfortable with the consequences if you're nowhere near

595
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: sixteen to zero or the Super Bowl, right, got to

596
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: be willing to live with that.

597
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 4: All right?

598
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:25,320

00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,279

647
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: where they go into Stan Mikita's diner. That's where all

654
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: Stan Makita's I'm not sure.

655
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 4: I have a confession to make.

656
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: What do you have?

657
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 8: I only watched Wayne's World for the first time like

658
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 8: a month ago.

659
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: Wow, dude, really hadn't seen it before then? Yeah, what'd

660
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 1: you think?

661
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 4: I liked it?

662
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 8: I was also like, I was watching it in the

663
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 8: room in Las Vegas, and I was I was kind

664
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 8: of like, you know, a little bit drunk, like getting

665
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 8: kind of sleepy but still awake. So I just like

666
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 8: it was one of the movies that was available, you know,

667
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 8: for free on there. So I watched it while the

668
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 8: wife was already sleep and I.

669
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: Was just checking okay, just checking it out.

670
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 4: All right, very nice.

671
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: Well, at least you got it done. I don't care

672
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: that it took you that long, as long as you

673
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: have to watch the Laddin, you know, get out of

674
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: the poor graces of you guys. But at least he

675
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: got there, you know, he finally got there with Wayne's World. Hey,

676
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: is it time for a new job? That it's time

677
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: for Express Employment Professionals. Quit the endless online job search,

678
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: enlist the pros and Express never charges job seekers a

679
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: feet go to expresspros dot com. Now I did mention.

680
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 1: There's gonna be history made this weekend. So Jen Powell,

681
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: she's said to become the first woman to umpire in

682
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. She's gonna work games this weekend Miami

683
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: Marlins at the Atlanta Braves. Yeah, so she's gonna it's

684
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a Saturday double header at Atlanta at Truest Park,

685
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: and she'll be on the basis. She'll work the basis

686
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: for that double header, and then she'll be high. She'll

687
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: be behind the plate on Sunday, calling balls and strikes.

688
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: Jen Powell. And it's pretty wild where if you think

689
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: about the gender barrier. So the gender barrier for game officials, right,

690
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 1: that was broken in the NBA twenty eight years ago,

691
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: and in the NFL it was broken ten years ago

692
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: when they hired their first full time female official. And

693
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: MLB has finally joined the party. We'll get a female

694
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: that's working behind the plate on Sunday. She'll be a

695
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, working the bases the Saturday double header. So

696
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: finally we're gonna have the first woman umpire in Major

697
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: League Baseball. NHL still has not had any woman as

698
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: an on ice official that that box has not been

699
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: checked yet. But MLB they're checking the box. We got

700
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: a female back there, and they're.

701
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 4: A female ice hockey coach, though.

702
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe a coach, I believe.

703
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 4: I'm not sure they have their first female coach right now.

704
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might have an assistant coach there. But if

705
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: we don't have any on ice officials there, Lorena, we

706
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: gotta get that.

707
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 4: You know. They got to break up fights a lot.

708
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, occasionally you do, that's true.

709
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 4: Can break a fight.

710
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: You've broken up many fights over the years. You know,

711
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: why not do it on the ice?

712
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 6: You know?

713
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: So, hey, it can happen, absolutely can be there. But

714
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: check out Jen Powell. You know what's crazy is think

715
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: about the pressure on her on Sunday behind the plate

716
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: because you know, as well as I do, fair or not.

717
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: If she's got a couple of outside strikes that are

718
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: really should be called balls, right, that's that's bad. It

719
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: doesn't just represent her. It's a whole gender, you know

720
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, so that's a ton of pressure

721
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: when you're the first breaking a barrier like that, so

722
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: I hope she does great, and I hope, uh, you know,

723
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: she doesn't get a whole bunch of bs along the way,

724
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: because that's just unnecessary and unneeded. But very cool. She's

725
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: breaking a barrier right there. Very nice, Lorena. You could

726
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: be the first on ice official in the NHL.

727
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 4: That's an idea.

728
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 9: I like it now.

729
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 4: Not bad
