6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: a mountain dew face. That's like the only thing you

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: could drink with drink like without even if being refrigerated,

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: and it's the only story you can like drink the

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: whole can at least back. You know. When I was

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: having that, I mean you could drink that and under

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: a minute pretty easily, like and you would. It's just

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: like easy to just put it back. Let's just like

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: keep keep discussing this because I need to. I want

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: to hear and learn more. When I was even if

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: I was fifteen and I was slugging down like a

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: twenty ounce bottle of mountain dew, I was like, oh,

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: this is probably good for me. I kind of missed

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: doing the thing where um and I wasn't. This wasn't

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: all the time. But you go to seven eleven or

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: wherever and make the old suicide where you mix like

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: eight different sodas together is that what they called it

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: in Connecticut. I didn't know what they did that in

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: the in the Northeast. To suicide. You you get every

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: flavor right, and it's very adventurous, and I mean the

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: end it's still just sort of tastes like yeah, it

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: doesn't um yeah not yeah, But what I mean, what

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: makes it suicidal? I've never heard I never heard that one.

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, it shows and it's a safe childhood that

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: that's like the closest you get to a little bit

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: of danger is mixing sodas. Yeah, I should have mixed

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: more like real life suicide watch scenarios into my childhood.

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: I'll maybe you know you're right, keep working at it,

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: Mark um As you can see, I'm still in Texas.

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: I was supposed to fly back. I had a two

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: forty five flight back to l A yesterday and I

36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: completely packed my bags. I was walking down the steps

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,919
Speaker 1: to get in the car and I said to my wife, Emily,

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: I said, well, I don't want to go. I don't

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: I don't need to go. The reason I was flying

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: back thursdays because I thought we were gonna have an

41
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: NFL network show didn't. So Emily checked the airlines and

42
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: it was just a minimal rebooking face. So now I'm

43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: staying until Sunday and we'll say we'll take it from there.

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: I might just keep pushing this thing back. Why should

45
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: I return? You know, if you, if you, if you

46
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: followed the if you follow the Graham at all, boys,

47
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why I don't have to Harry back.

48
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Beautiful photo of my son Harris and Harry hands on

49
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: the boat on Lake l b J. This is this

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: is a place I don't want to leave. There's a

51
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: reality to confront. But I will be back, just not

52
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: as originally planned. Why not stay? Is your weight? Your

53
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: family is potentially staying longer than you are, that's even

54
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: more reason to stay. Why not stay? What's bringing you back?

55
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: Even I gotta go back? Can't You can't just leave? Well,

56
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: you have to. You have to check on the house.

57
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: We've heard about that and that that you'd be you'd

58
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: be coming up to that point again. But I just

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: think you kind of flex your muscles as a freeman

60
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: to just decide I'm not doing what people tell me

61
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: to do. I'm gonna stay right here in Texas on

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: l b J Lake, Lyndon Baines Johnson Lake Lake lb J.

63
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: That one. Okay, it's beautiful here Kingsland, Texas. All Right,

64
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: Today's show, Friday news show. So we'll get you caught

65
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: up on everything that's going on in the league since

66
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: we last uh spoke on Wednesday, and I haven't done

67
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: this in a while. Always fun a little bit mail bag, Greg,

68
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're a little up and down with outreach with

69
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: the listeners. You're okay with doing a little mail back today,

70
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm good with. It's not about the outreach, it's more

71
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be good? Is it gonna be good? You

72
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: know may bag at its time, you know had its

73
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: time in the earlier. You're putting a lot of pressure

74
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: on on the other two people here to make this

75
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: something more than a mail bag. It sounds like, isn't

76
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: it just sort of a nice segment. It's a perfect

77
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: it's a perfect Friday. It's a perfect price. Right, a

78
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: little show here. That's exactly the answer. So I thought

79
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: Greg would give what I was trying to give you

80
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: what you wanted. I really didn't have much of a feeling,

81
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: so I tried to I tried to remember why you

82
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: thought I don't like mailbags. I don't know. It was

83
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: great though. It is exactly what I thought was gonna happen.

84
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: All right, let's do some news. What do we call it? Mark,

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: Sam Donald My Damon. That's from the NFL Network broadcast

86
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: program Friday's Last Friday's episode, and we we are in

87
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: talks behind the scenes, uh, to continue on the television

88
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: through the season. Nothing set in stone, but it seems

89
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: to be heading in that direction. And uh, we're working

90
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: on how we're gonna do that, and how we're gonna

91
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: bring the show to NFL Network, how it will be

92
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: different um the podcast, how it might be the same.

93
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: It's all you know, you might think listeners, dear listeners

94
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: who we love that we just show up and sit

95
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: in front of a laptop and a microphone and just

96
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: talk for forty five minutes or an hour and ten

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: minutes and uh oh, or just a bunch of guys

98
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: at the bar hanging out. That's why they're so relatable. No,

99
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: none of this is an accident. Everything is working. Never

100
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: Greg's never at a bar, always working behind the scenes

101
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: to bring the best version of the around the NFL podcast.

102
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: That's what we do. Absolutely, unless like they don't have

103
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: a bag then we just do the mail bag. This

104
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be We're gonna be here. I think that

105
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: was how I used to feel. It's like, well, we're

106
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: out of ideas, let's do a mail bag. But you know,

107
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm embracing and being out of ideas right now,

108
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I just plenty ideas, had plenty ideas.

109
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: But the mailbag is a nice way to interface with

110
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: the fans. It's important, getting back to my original point.

111
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: Some people like to do that, some people don't. If

112
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: you get if you if you accept any of of

113
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: the feedback, it's like you gotta accept all of it,

114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 1: so I take none of it. Let's do some news

115
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: starting with ah familiar name, Leshawn McCoy. He's got another job.

116
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 1: Did you know that Lashawn McCoy won a Super Bowl

117
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: last year? He did. He was on the Chief's roster.

118
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: He wasn't on the um Super Bowl roster. They left

119
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: him off and uh. He he was not active on

120
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: game day when the Chiefs knocked off the Niners to

121
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: claim the title. Uh. And he wants his career to

122
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: end in a different way. So what does that mean?

123
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: Probably getting on the field to be started to start

124
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: and the vetteran running back is signing a one year

125
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: deal worth just over one million dollars with the Tampa

126
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Rap she'd had this. Uh. He spent some

127
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: of this offseason talking about where he would like to go,

128
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 1: how we'd like to get more playing time and uh

129
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles are thrown out their potential reunion here Mark Sessler,

130
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: but ultimately he ends up in Tampa Bay, place where

131
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: he could potentially carve out a role. Yeah. I think

132
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, we we talked about a few camp

133
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: battles um earlier in the week, and this is an

134
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: interesting one in Tampa Bay because you know, obviously with

135
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady there, the theme has been who's gonna be

136
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: their third down past catching back in you know, Kishawn

137
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: Vaughan was was drafted. He's on their on their COVID

138
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: list right now. And uh so, you know, I think

139
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: there's a chance with Ronald Jones there that McCoy could

140
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: certainly play a role in the third down area. I

141
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: don't think he's the same player right now, but he's

142
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: someone that has like five career catches um. He can

143
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: he can do that. They've got a few other guys too,

144
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: that are battling for it. I can't wait to see

145
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: what happens. He's got to make the team. I mean,

146
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: I saw these like tweet. You know, it's like ESPN's

147
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: NFL Twitter like sends out It's like check out this

148
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty, you know, Bucks team, and it's like Evans, Godwin, Grant, McCoy, Brady.

149
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: It's like, well, McCoy, you know, he's only on a team,

150
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: as Mark mentioned, because I think Keishan von is on

151
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: the Covid lest he's got to make the team. But

152
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: who knows? That is a bad looking backfield. I wrote

153
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: up Camp Battles this week. I put in it like

154
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to add someone to this backfield because

155
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones can't do third Down's Keyshawn Vons a rookie,

156
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: like it just didn't look like it was good enough.

157
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: So he might make that team and be a little frisky.

158
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Could be a bunch of Hall of famers or at least,

159
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, close to Hall of famers in that team.

160
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder what Tom Brady's input is with

161
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: any of this stuff, because he probably wants of some

162
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: veteran presence in there to do that versus they have

163
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: a seventh rounder that they said could maybe be their

164
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: past catching back too. But Brady seems to have um

165
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: quite a bit of influence. It's like the Constellation price

166
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: for not having Antonio Brown. It's like, well, we're not

167
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: giving you him, Tom Brady giving him a question. You're right,

168
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: he probably did ask for him. McCoy is less than

169
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: one thousand yards away from twelve thousand career rushing yards.

170
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: He'd like to get that. Uh. This season he really

171
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: has had And we've studied this guy from an off

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: the field perspective too, and it hasn't always been pretty pretty,

173
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: but he has put together a Hall of Fame level career.

174
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: I just want to yards from scrimmage, uh through his

175
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: golden period, which really was about two thousand ten to

176
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen, or run that something, go to the

177
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl six times, All Pro twice, seventeen hundred yards,

178
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred yards, twelve hundred yards, one hundred yards. That

179
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: was two thousand, thirteen hundred yards, twelve hundred yards, sixteen

180
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: hundred yards, sixteen hundred yards. I mean, this dude was

181
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: a baller. Now he's not that guy anymore. So, we'll see.

182
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: Maybe he gets to this this abbreviated camp and he

183
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: shows nothing. He doesn't make the team, but he's the

184
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: name brand. I just wanted to put something, you know,

185
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: like it's nice to have something first in news that's

186
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: not COVID related. So that's what McCoy is really doing

187
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: for us right now. That's good job exactly. And now

188
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: let's get to some COVID talk. Because one of the

189
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: people in the backfield for Kansas City that was active,

190
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: uh for Super Bowl fifty four, and he put together

191
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: a game for the Ages, Chris Westling. I believe I

192
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: thought he should have been the m v P of

193
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: the game. Damien Williams, Well, he won't be the MVP

194
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: of any Super Bowl in one because he has opted

195
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: out of the season. Chiefs general manager Brett Beach announced

196
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: in a statement, Um Williams greg was a guy that

197
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: was a part of what they did, like a big

198
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: part of their role. And then he had the game

199
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: clinching touchdown and Super Bowl fifty four, Uh, it changes

200
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: things around in that backfield. I mean he was so good,

201
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: like if he didn't have the career he had beforehand,

202
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: people would have given him waymore credit. But he had

203
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: bounced around the league. He's another guy who kind of

204
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: escaped Gaze's Dolphins team. Is funny to look back on

205
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: those teams and Williams I thought was gonna do a

206
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: better job holding off their rookie Edwards to air. Then

207
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: people thought that it was gonna be a little bit

208
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: more of a split situation and maybe the guys who

209
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: are taking Edwards Slayer in the top twenty and fantasy

210
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: drafts are gonna be a little disappointed. Well, that's out

211
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: out the window. And uh he he mentioned his mom um,

212
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: who's in her seventies, you know, was diagnosed with cancer

213
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: and he wants to stay and take care of her

214
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: and didn't think he should be like going going back

215
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: and forth from the team. So it totally makes sense.

216
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: And um, it just means Edwards Slayer is gonna have

217
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: to step up and play a lot that they might

218
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: have to sign someone else too. That's the thing is,

219
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 1: like all the you mentioned, the injuries are coming to

220
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: and we've had the opt outs, you have the COVID list.

221
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: I just feel like teams are gonna have to be

222
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: signing a few extra veterans maybe than they normally would be.

223
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they have a lot of guys, and they

224
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: have I'm not saying that they're starters, but DeAndre Washington

225
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: is there. Yeah, they have Darryl Williams, Darwin. They have

226
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: two wigh too many when you're throwing Damian Williams. My

227
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: one issue with the chiefs lest well, there was a

228
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: million guys with the first name starting in D and

229
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: any of them were for like eight weeks, which is

230
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: not um a great sign in this career path. But

231
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: you know, so this this is nice. You got a

232
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: different type of name in there, and this is one

233
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: of those moves where the minute it happened, I I'm like,

234
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm off Twitter for like the twenty four hours because

235
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of um it's nothing but fantasy heads

236
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: with their panties and a bunch over this developing situation

237
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. And I get it. I mean it

238
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: clearly you gotta stop following all these fantasy guys. Then well,

239
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: I mean I do think of it. I mean, and

240
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: the Rhodo Pats and the Silva's of the world. But

241
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: maybe you got some riff raff in there too. You know,

242
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: I might have to read maybe this weekend that could

243
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: be a project. Who do I shop? Also, Yeah, I

244
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: imagine it's probably pretty easy to make comments like that

245
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: from your little room in your home. But if Evan

246
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: Silva was standing in front of you, would you say

247
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: the same thing. Well, I'm definitely not. I'm definitely not

248
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: speaking about any Evan Silva directly, who I think is

249
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: probably one of the few people that um uses Twitter correctly.

250
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that about myself at times or nineties

251
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: seven percent of the other people that I encounter on Twitter.

252
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: Big don't people don't know this, but Evans formerly sorry,

253
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: formerly of Rhoda World now at the Great Site, established

254
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: the run with Adam Leviton eight feet tall, right, he

255
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: could step in and fill some of these voids that

256
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: are um he looks like a right tackle. He really does.

257
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: You should play right now. Silva also born with the antibodies.

258
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the man is essentially where it was. I oh, yes,

259
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: before Mark cut down the fantasy industry. For some reason,

260
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to point out that, yes, Clyde Edwards Hilaire

261
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: there young running back is a guy that could go

262
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: in the first round. And Adam rank are good buddy

263
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: who did such a great job, uh for our fantasy

264
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: football extravaganza last year. I would like to have him

265
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 1: on again if that's okay with Mark, I don't know.

266
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously his panties in a I don't know,

267
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: Am I wrong? I do think that. I'm not saying

268
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: that's it was a hot point in there in their

269
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: summer long you know, you know, to create your team

270
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: uh scenario there, but it did get everyone real hot

271
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: taky about the Chiefs backfield. No, I'm not saying these

272
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: they were industry It is okay. People want some news.

273
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean, people are desperate for the football news to

274
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: talk about. I think, so you know what I mean,

275
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: Like this is like, okay, like you know, fantasy guys

276
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: into action, we actually have some news. Because it's like

277
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: it's July thirty one and they're saying they're telling us

278
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: camps are starting. You turn on NFL Network and it's

279
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: like inside training camp. Like we've been through so many

280
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: of these training camps now, it's like our bodies are

281
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: used to the routine of what this week would normally

282
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: be like. But the reality is it's not really happening.

283
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: It's not it's not happening like the season's happening in

284
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: theory on time, but for now it's just we're just

285
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: kind of waiting around. Let me reframe this, Mark uh Luke,

286
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: Skywalker comes back to life on Star Wars and Mark

287
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: Hamill signs on for the role, and they're gonna do

288
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: the anti aging thing and he's gonna it's gonna be

289
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: some hero's journey for Skywalker. All the Star Wars people,

290
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna have their quote unquote panties in a

291
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: bunch of about it because that's exciting in their world

292
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: and right and in your world, look at and it's

293
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: not a time to be you know. Let people find

294
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: the joy they can find in this in this tough offseason.

295
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: So that I not some sort of grinch over it.

296
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: All I said was that I logged off Twitter. I

297
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: didn't report them, I didn't mute them or block them.

298
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: I get it, and they're playing the role and I'm

299
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: very happy for them. I took a break that was

300
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: simply a person. And your joy comes from using the word,

301
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, panties repeatedly, apparently, just like you seem to

302
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: enjoy doing that just as much as anyone else right there, Greg,

303
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: So what is happening to the to this news segment Erica, Erica,

304
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: can you jump on? Are you more comfortable with us

305
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: saying panties or not? I think it either is kind

306
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: of bad. Um. But if you say underpants like cutely,

307
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: like you just did, then I guess it's like, yeah,

308
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: it's like sort of funny. Uh yeah, but I I

309
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,239
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I used it in a colloquialism,

310
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: in a phrase that's a common phrase. Yeah, not just

311
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: on its own. That's what Greg did. All right, listen,

312
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: enough fun, we have to talk about COVID nineteen some more.

313
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson, the right tackle of the Philadelphia Eagles, tested

314
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: positive for COVID nineteen. He is one of uh several

315
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: big name players that are on the COVID list. We're

316
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: up to sixty six. Anthony bar the star linebacker of

317
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings, is one of eight Minnesota players. Kenny Golladay,

318
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: the star wide receiver of the Lions, and former first

319
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: round pick T. J. Hawkinson the tight end, is one

320
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: of seven players. They are one of seven players for

321
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: the Lions on the COVID list. And relatedly, after several

322
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: positive tests, the Bills sent their rookies home and opted

323
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: to go with some zoom type meetings rather than in person.

324
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 1: And let me preface all this or supplement this by

325
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: adding the Miami Marlins in baseball are up to of

326
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: their roster has tested positive for COVID, and the St.

327
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: Louis Cardinals had to shut down their games this weekend

328
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: because we learned this morning multiple players tested positive Buckle

329
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: Up Baby. The Bills thing was significant, I think because

330
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: it was the first example of guys who had been

331
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: in the building then were told to leave the build,

332
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: that they passed the test initially and then they were

333
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: let in and then they started failing them. And so

334
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: that's just it's part of the the issues that these

335
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: teams are going to be dealing with this entire month,

336
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: and and the number is gonna rise, like we'll we'll

337
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: get twenty or thirty more, you know, probably later today.

338
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: We're taping this early, and it's it's just complicated. But

339
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: then again, a team like the Texans, who have been

340
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: in longer than anyone because they got to show up first.

341
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: They've had like, you know, three or four streight days

342
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: where everyone's in the building and everyone's passing it. But

343
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: but so far, yeah, like fifteen guys on the vikings

344
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 1: and lines especially seems seems like a lot. I mean,

345
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: for me, it's I I'm feeling more optimistic. To be honest,

346
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: I know all this stuff is happening right now, but

347
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: this is when it would happen. Right You're getting everyone

348
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: in fresh off the streets and where they come from,

349
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: and you know, you you hope you get the cases

350
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: out of the way and you move forward. Football has

351
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: this distinct advantage that baseball does not, and Baseball is

352
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: getting killed by right now. Games every day in baseball

353
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: you're having to cancel left and right just to comply

354
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: with the basic you know, test team procedures. Football could

355
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: be real thorny two, but you have a seven day

356
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: break in between most of these games, and it has

357
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: it gives players a chance to go into into whatever

358
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: COVID protocol they cult and back out. I mean, look,

359
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: it's still and you're only traveling eight times a year,

360
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: right right? And you know, people said, oh, well they

361
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: should you know baseball is aren't Baseball teams actually only

362
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: traveling nine times a year for most of them in

363
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: this sixty games slate where they're trying to see it's different.

364
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: But the issue is you're traveling once for one game

365
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: in baseball, you know, like these series, it's gonna get

366
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: tough to make them up. How do you finish? It's

367
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: just not a baseball podcast. But football teams have a

368
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: better shot of completing one game per week, per team.

369
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: We'll see, it's a whole it's a massive wild card.

370
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm just no, I'm just like trying to think, like,

371
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: how if what happened, what's happening in baseball right now,

372
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: is something similar happens in football and a team just

373
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: can't play. I guess you have a bye week two,

374
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: I would think at some point, and these conversations are

375
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: probably going on around the clock at Park Avenue. If

376
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: they're going to make some type of flex more flexible

377
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: nature to the schedule that maybe adds in another bye

378
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: week or something that allows them to have a little

379
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: more wiggle room in case they lose a team. I

380
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: think they have. I think they have. They'll have contingencies,

381
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: and they have said, you know, they kind of built

382
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: it out so that it could go as the Super Bowl,

383
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: and theory could go as late as the end of February,

384
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: which was three weeks later. So I think to your point, Dan,

385
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: they're they're ready, and they but that it hasn't all

386
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: been written down. And I think that was one thing.

387
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: I think the NFL is watching Major League Baseball and

388
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: they're figuring out out as they go, and I think, um,

389
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: what the NFL might learn from that is they want

390
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: to have here's what the procedure is if this happens,

391
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: if there is an outbreak, because it sort of felt

392
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: like either the MLB wasn't putting that out there or

393
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: they were. They weren't. They didn't really have it written

394
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: down of what they kind of and the problem here,

395
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: of course, what do we got? Alright? This just in

396
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is being suspended for eight games for violation

397
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: of the NFL Personal Conduct Policy beginning whenever he signed

398
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: per league source doesn't or doesn't sign. I thought he

399
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: was retired. I don't know here. I mean, basically, Lamar

400
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: Jackson is not the only good quarterback who's trying to

401
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: get him on his team. Lamar Jackson said it publicly,

402
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: and John Harvey's coach on Thursday said, Wow, okay, that's

403
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, I take I take Lamar's opinion seriously, which

404
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: sounded like he was, you know, John Harby was open

405
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: to it, and then a hardboy even hinted at this

406
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: was coming that it was his understanding that he wasn't

407
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: really allowed to play yet. And now that this is

408
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: out there, some team will probably be just based on

409
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: those Hardbot comments, it seems like some team might take

410
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: a shot and it might just be the ravens now

411
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: Back to your you know, baseball takes or whatever you

412
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: were saying, Greg, what was the by the way, what

413
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: was Lamar Jackson had a a worrying quote about Antonio Brown.

414
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: That's something like the guy, he's the guy we need

415
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: in our locker room. He was working out, he was

416
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: working out with him, um this offseason. I feel like

417
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: we have a lot of evidence to say that is

418
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: not someone you need in your locker room. But the

419
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: guy can play. And we've also said we're not talking

420
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: to Antonio Brown on the show unless there's some tangible news.

421
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: That's tangible news. Now there's a structure in place for

422
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: that discipline and teams can make their decision whether they

423
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: want to get in bed with that player. My point

424
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: I was gonna make before we move on out of

425
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: this COVID talk is yes, the NFL could build in

426
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: some flexibility about pushing back the Super Bowl to late February.

427
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: But it's a catch twenty two because the longer the

428
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: season last, the more you leave yourself open to calamity

429
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: with positive testing. There's really there's no fool proof method

430
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: for this. The fullproof method is the is the country

431
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: having cases under control. And even that's not full proof,

432
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: but that's the that's the best method. I mean, I

433
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: feel like a nuclear bomb would need to land for

434
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: them not to um play the opener on that Thursday

435
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: night in September. I think they just I know, I

436
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: just feel they're hell bent on that happening. From there,

437
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: it's hang on, we'll see what happened. Less one of

438
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: those teams get sure. I mean, everything's influx, but I

439
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: just it just seems the idea of delaying the start

440
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: of the season, which might make just as much sense.

441
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: You're hearing a lot about that. Uh. In other news,

442
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: unsigned franchise player Yannick and Gokway of the Jaguars is

443
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: not reported to camp. We all know and Gockway wants

444
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: out desperately of Jacksonville. He said he has no plans

445
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: or as understand, he has no plans to sign his

446
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: franchise tag and end his hold hold out anytime since

447
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: since he's not technically under contract, because he hasn't put

448
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: pen to paper, you can't find him the way you

449
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: would find a player that would hold out in a

450
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: traditional sense, so that this is a bit of a

451
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: Texas standoff if you will here from Kingsland, Uh. Doug

452
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: Morone told reporters this week that he has not even

453
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: been in contact with the lineman M. He's the only

454
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: hold out. He's not a hold out technically, as you mentioned,

455
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: but he's it. But it's also it's a great year

456
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: to just stay away. I mean, no one's even practicing

457
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: for two two and a half weeks. What what is

458
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: Inkway really missing? As long as he's as long as

459
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: he's in shape. But he is the only one. There

460
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: is not a veteran contract hold that, which is partly

461
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: I think because of the pandemic, but I think a

462
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: lot of it is just the new CB a UM

463
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: so aggressively discouraged people from holding out because they're gonna

464
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: take you can take your money away. Uh, And it's working.

465
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: There's no there's no there's no veterans out are looking

466
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: for more money and during this game, I guess like

467
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: because he could play um with on another team under

468
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: the tag. So maybe there's a scenario where if you

469
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: had enough cap money, someone would you know if they

470
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: viewed themselves as a win this year type team. And

471
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: I looked at a couple of teams that have twenty

472
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: million plus CAPRAM, and they I see them as playoffs

473
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: potential Bills Eagles, Titans, Patriots, cults each of them. Hillary

474
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: and the Patriots have twenty million and CAPRAM. They had

475
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: zero when they signed Cam Newton. I'm Cam Newton. I

476
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: would be like, hey, how about give me some of

477
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: that money? Corona helped them out financially. I mean if

478
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: if in no other way, radio silence in Jacksonville, some

479
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: some contact in Tennessee the mystery surrounding defensive end Vic Beasley.

480
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: He has been in contact with Titans GM John Robinson.

481
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: He will Beasley report to the team in the quote

482
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: near future. Beasley was a no show for the first

483
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: for a few days of two days of camp, uh,

484
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: and it made you wonder if he was going to

485
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: be opting out for the season. But at this point, UH,

486
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: it seems like that's not the case. It's the same

487
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: Beasley at fifteen and a half sacks a few years back,

488
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: and that is something that the Titans could really use

489
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: on their defense. I know you're excited about these Titans.

490
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: Now you just ma you've gone all the way around.

491
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: You're big Titans guy, Now big. I wouldn't say that

492
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: they're fine. They're fine. They're just another team, you know,

493
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: but they're not the Titoons anymore. That's over, just like

494
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: the you know, the Washington Are words that's gone. So

495
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: too is the T word on the Around the NFL podcast,

496
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: unless they somehow reacquired Marcus Mariotta and then spent four

497
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: years convincing themselves that he's a franchise quarterback. I don't know.

498
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen though. Uh. In other news,

499
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: spinning through the old League, the League of Ball Football

500
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: that is really vamping. We're wrapping up, you know, an

501
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: off season storyline. We've spent a lot of time on

502
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: here Monday Night football. Let's get a little upbeat and

503
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: what's going on in the boot for ESPN, which has

504
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: been obviously the world is a wide leader. It's been

505
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: trying to land a big fish. Tony Romo, Peyton Manning,

506
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 1: al Michaels, Drew Brees. None of these things worked out,

507
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: so what do they do? And our and our buddy

508
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm reading this. This is uh the info I'm getting

509
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: here from Andrew Marshaw and our buddy at the New

510
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: York Post would love to have it again on the show.

511
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: He's their media guy. He does a great job. He

512
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: likened it to UH, ESPN trying to land a franchise

513
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: quarterback and instead landing on some game managers. Steve Levy,

514
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: Brian Greasy, Lewis Riddick all will be in the booth

515
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: for Monday night games this year. Um, we'll see if

516
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: there's a long term situation Greg with a with all

517
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: the big money deals coming up and ESPN and ABC,

518
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: UH maybe looking to eventually get that franchise star. But

519
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: it looks like we have some adults in the booth

520
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: that should be able to deliver a professional broadcast that

521
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: doesn't drive everyone completely saying right, which is great. I

522
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: mean we've talked about there's so many times I'm watching

523
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: like the Fox Fox's fourth team and just thinking like, well,

524
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: this would be better than Monday night football. Like they're

525
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: they're doing a fine job. I think Lewis Riddick has

526
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: a really high ceiling. I like him. I wish it

527
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: was a two man booth. They just feel like you're

528
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: just asking for it. With the three man booth, it's

529
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: just it's harder for everyone and they haven't all work

530
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: together before. But uh, I do think it'll be an

531
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: upgrade and they'll they'll make Monday nights a lot less frustrating,

532
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: um for us. I know for West this this is

533
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a welcome news thing. He needed this, you know,

534
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: they needed to make a change, and they probably should

535
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: have made one last offseason and they kind of, you know,

536
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: stuck to it. I do wonder though, if you're Lewis Riddick,

537
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: because I think he could really shine on Monday night football.

538
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: Is they are the legit game managers where they're basically

539
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: just gonna turn around when things get back to normal

540
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: and replace them with the team they really want, with

541
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: one of these like shiny you know, retired quarterbacks. I

542
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: hope that if they, if they thrive, they give a

543
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: chance at the chance of them sticking around. UM. I

544
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: had a very interesting interaction UM that I really can't

545
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: repeat on this show with Brian Greasy in that will forever.

546
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: Um shade how I feel about the person, but I

547
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: I positively or negatively, I will just say it to

548
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: be fair. I mean, this is a long time ago.

549
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: This is a totally different person back then. Um, I

550
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: will just leave it at that. But um, I wish

551
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: I hope well bare knuckle parking LAPPERL. I mean, why

552
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: would I get into it? He is huge, Like you

553
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: just think he's a quarterback. He's actually a giant person

554
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: all right. Without getting into the whole story. But altercation

555
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: with Greasy but an unpleasant um interaction where I probably

556
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: should not have bothered him. Um I saw him out

557
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: on the town in downtown Denver and should have not

558
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: bothered him. Um. Well, he was sort of infamous that

559
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: you know. He was in the news quite a bit

560
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: for um, you know, he's drinking and his had some

561
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: legal issues because of it too around right around that time.

562
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to right, why would all together?

563
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: But he was he was famous in Denver for living

564
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: the high life as a player. Tough spot, trying to

565
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: replace John Elway. You know people, Yeah, I think that

566
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: was part of it, was right, he you know, it

567
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: was a tough transition and maybe I caught him in

568
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: an off moment and then yeah, and and Bryan's defense.

569
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: Mark and I have been in the news for drinking

570
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, no, I like, I really, but I'm

571
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: not really judging him. I just um like I I

572
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: was also out on the town. Let's it's not gonna

573
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: come up in a big Google search like I just

574
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: did for Greasy. Just to make sure you know, well,

575
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: this didn't make for you guys saying that should probably

576
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: shouldn't have made this news show either. So Mark and

577
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: I have avoided the blotterer. So that's a good start. Um,

578
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: all right? And uh, one last thing, get well soon.

579
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin, the former Giants coach and JA Jaguars executive,

580
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: fractured four ribs, slightly punctured his lung, and needed stitches

581
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: in his head after a bicycle accident last weekend in Jacksonville,

582
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: hospitalized for the night. Uh. In the words of Coughlin,

583
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: another man on a racing bike comes out of nowhere

584
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: and clips the front of my bike. Seventy three years old.

585
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: Looks like he's on the mend. Uh can you even imagine?

586
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: Like it sounds like he got roughed up. Tom here,

587
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: But if Tom had any of his faculties after he

588
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: got knocked off the bike. You know, in the middle

589
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: of these park he's finding a switch from the nearby

590
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: brush and just lashing into this this other biker Just

591
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: think it's seven shots on the hiny. I think it's

592
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: always weird that you see um anything where that's possible.

593
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what he would have done. But whenever, like

594
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: a famous person gets into a car accident or a

595
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: bike accident like this with a total unknown, I think

596
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: would be weird to be the person on the other

597
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: end that like um, like the person that got saved

598
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: by Walking Phoenix. Remember that. I don't think that seems

599
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: like a PR stunt to me. But Walking Phoenix pulled

600
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: like a man out of his car in like the

601
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: Hollywood streets. It just I don't know how I could.

602
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: Didn't show him ecvay save someone all sorts of a

603
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: lot of them seem like PR levers. But there was

604
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: a similar situation. My boy Bono from You two was

605
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: biking in Central Park like five years ago and almost

606
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: killed himself. Same thing. Somebody, he said, someone cut him off. Like,

607
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: imagine you killed Bono in Central Park on your bike.

608
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: It would be terrible. It's like you've run the guy over.

609
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: It's like, wait, who's that? All right, let's do the mailbag.

610
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the news. Alright, buckle up, Greg,

611
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to connect with our listeners. I mean

612
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: you you are, you are presenting this and uh totally

613
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: uh ridiculous. Way. Maybe I did I miss being able

614
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: to kill segments that used to be a kind of

615
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: a whole bit. So you know you're just setting it

616
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: up for me. Okay, the last mail bag, let's call

617
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: this all right, let's get it going. We'll start with

618
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: get funny. How deeply do you think the Patriots opted

619
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: out defense will affect Cam's stock for next season? And

620
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: if things don't go well, do you foresee issues developing

621
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: during the season? Greg, when I saw this that the

622
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: reason I pulled this one out is I remember when

623
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: what you wrote about Cam when he signed with the

624
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: Pats that he finally got some good luck. And it's

625
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: hard not to see this as another stroke of bad

626
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: luck that he gets to the Patriots. Uh, the backbone

627
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: of the defense disappears and he has to make good

628
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: now with a lesser Patriots team. Yeah, I think the

629
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: defense had a recipe to decline even before losing High

630
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: Tower Chung, I'm not too worried about I don't think

631
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: it affects Cam at all in terms of his value.

632
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: Cam's gonna play well, you know, based on what McDaniels

633
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 1: puts out there for him and how the offense plays,

634
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't see, you know, whether they win

635
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: games or lose games. Obviously it'd help them if if

636
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: they're going into the playoffs and everything. But he's gonna

637
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: be able to set his value, reset it and and

638
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: heck all this salary cap space. Maybe it'll be the

639
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: Patriots that give him a nice contract if he's playing well. Mark,

640
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: I'll tee you up on this one. From our buddy

641
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: Neil Dutton, we love Neil. What classic movie most deserves

642
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: a reboot that hasn't had one yet? We don't need

643
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: another look at the Spiderman Origin. Although those movies, the

644
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: latest reboot are excellent. I've been watching them with my kids.

645
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: We need a modern take on Logan's Run in my opinion,

646
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: Neil says, what about you, Mark, Well, I mean, well

647
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: that works for me, because Logan's Run I don't I

648
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: don't like that movie. At all. Um. I saw that

649
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: of the y m C A lock in in seventh

650
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: grade and like it did a bad things for the room.

651
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: I just because I was like, this is the weirdest

652
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: movie to show a bunch of third and fourth graders.

653
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: It was a lot of uh adult themes. I thought

654
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: going through it, I would look if I most remakes

655
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: just shouldn't happen. Let's start there. But if you want

656
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: to make some money, I think you could redo um,

657
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: the Outsiders and you could you could that could be

658
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: like a parade of like today's biggest young stars, um

659
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: and that you know, the themes could be changed and

660
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: altered a little bit and updated. Um. I get scared

661
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,919
Speaker 1: of things like I could see them making like Lebowski twenty,

662
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: like just don't do certain things please with a lot

663
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: of remakes, just like don't remake Goonies, don't remake Maybe

664
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: I would maybe redo the Graduate or like, um, you know,

665
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: it's like that shouldn't be remade because it's a good movie.

666
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: But if you updated it were like Dustin Hoffman was

667
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: the grandfather and all that chaos that he um spun

668
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: is happening like two generations down. Or I'm more into

669
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: see like certain sequels they should do than than remakes.

670
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: But what about you guys, Maybe Ferrest Fueler's Day Off.

671
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, No, I and I think maybe part

672
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: of what Neil is getting out is not necessarily a remake,

673
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: but an origin story type tale where you learn what

674
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: happened before. I'm very excited about because I'm just finishing,

675
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: like my fifth three watch of The Sopranos. I have

676
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: two episodes left. The Saints, The Many Saints of Newark.

677
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: I believe it's called as a movie that's coming out

678
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: next year that's going to kind of tell you about

679
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: the backstory of Tony Soprano's father and the group that

680
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: was around him when he was coming up. In a

681
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: young Tony Soprano played by h James gandel Feni's real

682
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: life son, James Gandelfini sad they passed away in two

683
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen. That I love that idea, right, I like

684
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: that too, But that's an essentially a prequel or that's

685
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: not a remake. Would you remake Sopranos? I wouldn't touch that. Nonsense. No,

686
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on. Kyle Slick, do you think

687
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers the organ not players regret moving

688
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: to l A. Is there a future where they find

689
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: their way back to San Diego and maybe moved to

690
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: another market. Is the lack of excitement long term or temporary?

691
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: I it's so hard to tell anything right now. And

692
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: it's not just an l A thing. It's a world

693
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: thing about something that seems suddenly so small, as whether

694
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: an NFL team will get a footing in terms of

695
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: local fan base. But it certainly was foreboding UH in

696
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: terms of moving into the Sofi Stadium this fall and

697
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: the idea of trying to get a stadium filled with

698
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: fans that are rooting for the home team. Whether it

699
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: ever happens or not, I don't know, but I did.

700
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: It did cause me to do a little bit of

701
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 1: quick research. And I don't know if this has changed

702
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: because this reporting is October of two thousand eighteen, But

703
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: according to Mike Florio, the Chargers have a firm twenty

704
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: year lease at Sofi Stadium and the Chargers hold a

705
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: pair of exclusive tenure options after the twenty years. So

706
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: unless there's a wiggle room or this has changed since

707
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: that report, Charges aren't going anywhere. UM. I would love

708
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 1: for them to go back to San Diego. It feels

709
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: like they should have never left. My the you got

710
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: in the way of all that. But it seems like

711
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to force themselves to make it work here.

712
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: I I don't think they have any regrets at all.

713
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: Spanos family the ownership. They had a bad relationship with

714
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: the city of San Diego with the stadium there. They

715
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: weren't gonna be able to build their own stadium. They

716
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: wanted to get out of there, and I think they

717
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: felt fortunate that they were able to jump in on

718
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: this Rams deal. Whether that's good for Chargers fans are

719
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: the NFL is another matter. It's not even it hasn't been,

720
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: it's not. I mean, but this is it's a different

721
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: it's a family, it's a team. They don't have their

722
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: money and other businesses. I saw something that they you know,

723
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: they bought that team for eight four million in like

724
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: the eighties something like that. I mean, Joey Bose Is

725
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: guaranteed money was about what the team cost for them

726
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: to buy. And they're not one of the most cash

727
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 1: rich teams. That's no uh no secret. They're they're praying

728
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: this thing works out, but they're basically just kind of

729
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: hanging onto the Rams coattails. It's not a good place

730
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: to be. Has it wasn't a good place for the

731
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: Clippers to be, hasn't been a good place earlier for

732
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: the Jets to be. Like, you don't want to be

733
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: that that that second team just kind of hanging onto

734
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: the other one. But you don't think. I don't because

735
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: they had no you know, if the NFL could have

736
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: forced them to sell, that might have been, you know,

737
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 1: like they had this was their way out. They're still

738
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: getting that same check that every team gets. They split it.

739
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: It's the most you know, anti capitalist idea possible for

740
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: the most like money making capitalist thing is they're they're

741
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: getting that same check from the TV revenue and everyone

742
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: else that all the teams get. So they were happy

743
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: to solve the stadium because they were in an untenable situation.

744
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: I think there there's no regrets with leaving the situation

745
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: in San Diego. The idea that everyone is gonna look

746
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: with rose colored glasses at what's happening in l A

747
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: is to me, I have a problem with that. I

748
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,240
Speaker 1: think the best advice coming from X Raiders and Rams

749
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: players and people involved with when both teams were here

750
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 1: in the past. Was l A is not a two town,

751
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: a two team town. It should not be. It just

752
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't be. And and that was when they Raiders and

753
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: Rams teams in the playoffs, they had attendance issues. This

754
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: sticks out as an isolated, big problem for the NFL.

755
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: If the if this season we're going as we expected,

756
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: Chargers attendance would be one of the bigger stories and

757
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: stay more popular. Though that is that's something to consider.

758
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: Like there are a lot of stadiums that were half

759
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: empty all the time back then, you know, and now

760
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: there aren't any and I think there was. I don't

761
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna get Chargers fans in there. They're

762
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna get people in there, They're gonna get people who

763
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: want to watch NFL game, They're gonna get the opposition,

764
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: just like they didn't at the last place. I mean

765
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: the problem for the players, it's a problem when the

766
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: team that should have probably come to l A if

767
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: you wanted to do too, was the Raiders when they

768
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: went to to to Las Vegas. I mean, just I

769
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: think too many. You could just have a common sense

770
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: conversation with most people and they could identify issues with

771
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: this a little internal podcast questioning here from Josh Rosanowski.

772
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: When does the behind the scenes dock of the Wheel

773
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: of Teams come out? How many episodes a segment meant

774
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: to shine a light unless talked about teams cut short

775
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: prematurely after landing on seven highly talked about teams, including

776
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: the Jets. Seems like there's a story there. There's no story.

777
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: The Titans are one of the teams. First of all,

778
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: there were some random random We knew that it was.

779
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: It was. It was part of the the issue with

780
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 1: that from the beginning. We knew we weren't going to

781
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: get to all and we were gonna get to as

782
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: many as we hope, but there was there was no

783
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: chance that doing it weekly, starting in May or whatever,

784
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: that we were ever going to get well. I'd say

785
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: to the person who asked the question, keep digging. Luke Robbins,

786
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: how is that name familiar? Because he is the man

787
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: who wrote the great Connie Fox song, not the winning song. Here,

788
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: let me start over, because I totally thought this is

789
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: the guy that wrote the song that won, but it

790
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: turns out he wrote a song that didn't win. Luke

791
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: Robbins says, at what point am I the creator of

792
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: a controversial Connie fox Cox song, going to be commissioned

793
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: to create a theme song for Patrick Claiban. I think

794
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: this guy is too hot. I don't think he um.

795
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: I think he's a little too um toxic with his

796
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: songwriting styles. And I just don't think he is that guy.

797
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: But I respect that he's throwing his name in the ring.

798
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: But of course this is a democracy. I'm curious what

799
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: you guys think Patrick clab does deserve a song. It's

800
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: a big leap to say commissioned because you gave us

801
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: the previous work for free. Commission suggested make it. You're

802
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: the only one right now, but it is a good

803
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: idea to be good to get a Claibon song. And

804
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: I and I apologize. Colleen was on a couple of

805
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: weeks ago when you guys were on, and I totally

806
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: forgot about, you know, bringing the song back. Um listeners

807
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: let me know that we should have had the song.

808
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: But I know she wants to join us next week,

809
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: so that there's a little tease for me. So we

810
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: did like a month long contest to pick a song,

811
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 1: and your first role in the host chair with on

812
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: the on you didn't play the song. Didn't even think

813
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: about it. Neither did Ricky. So you know, oh, you're

814
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: throwing Erica under the bus. That feels no, it's not

815
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: right there. For I was like, should we play the

816
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 1: song now that er wait a minute, she's completely making

817
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: I'll find the slack. I'll give Ricky credit. She's a

818
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: great liar. You know. Rookie's going Rookie's going full full

819
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams now just making up. I was like, I pull,

820
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: and he was like Dan and his stupid ideas, like

821
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: I hate this song, like I haven't in writing. Wow,

822
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: well it's speaking of digging. But you've almost convinced Mark

823
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: Mark is the one guy will fall for you. Now

824
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: you're now you're slinging an arrow at me, Like I'm

825
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: just saying, you're pretty defensive buying. Yeah, it just seems

826
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: like I love you so well, that's what you do

827
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: when someone's coming at you. I love I pushed for

828
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: that song for when the segment was lesser because of it.

829
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: Can we I don't know what's happening with Greg today, Erica?

830
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: Can we hear one of the Connie Fox songs that

831
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: didn't win? Just for fun, Connie's here She's gonna piece

832
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: it all together for us. Finally someone we can trust.

833
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: Connie's here. Why are all these animals smiling? What the

834
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: baby Hoidie? Connie Fox will solve the puzzle? That's such

835
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: a Connie Fox vibe to it, a version of an

836
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: aspect of Connie that we know. I never thought there

837
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: would be an original song tied to this podcast that

838
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: had the French horn in it, and yet here we are.

839
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: T Mr Trooper is another long time listener to the show.

840
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 1: What's more likely Dan permanently moves to Texas or Greg

841
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: returns to Martha's vineyard as the prodigal son. A little

842
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: biblical talk there from TMR in a big spot. Um,

843
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: I'll start Texas is a great place. I've really enjoyed

844
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: my time here. It's too hot I gotta be honest

845
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: with you. It's too hot here. That bothers me. But

846
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: other than that, I like the state, I like the people.

847
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: I like there's family here. I would not rule it

848
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: out as a possibility. It's not likely to happen, but um,

849
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: I truly do enjoy my time here. How about you? Greg? Oh? Yeah,

850
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: I'll never move back to Master I never lived in

851
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard. I lived there once for a summer, bumming

852
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: around waiting tables. Um so I've never lived there, but

853
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: my parents lived there. I I don't think I'll ever

854
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: live on the East Coast again, would be Greg, How

855
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: about this? Would you ever take a waiter's job again?

856
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: I would? I actually think about I think about all

857
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: the other little random jobs that I would that I

858
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: would rat that I wouldn't mind doing like later in life.

859
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: Maybe waiting doesn't really give you that much satisfaction, but

860
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: it's good for the cash. It's not bad. You're seeing

861
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: new people. Ricky, I'm gonna keep I'm gonna keep you,

862
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: keep you on screen. Here are Buddy Christopher sing for

863
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: the day team with the best chance to go from

864
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: last place in the division in twenty nineteen to a

865
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: playoff spot in the Miami Dolphins. These are options the

866
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins with TOA, the Cardinals Kyler Murray making the

867
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 1: leap candidate, the Lions with the healthy, healthy Matthew Stafford,

868
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: and the Bengals with young Joe Burrow. Most likely of

869
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: that group, I'd say the Cardinals, I think with DeAndre

870
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: Hopkins added to that that list, and and Kyler has

871
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: a second year. Um, that's my vote. I feel like

872
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: the only one that would shock me is if we

873
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 1: saw the Dolphins in the playoffs. The other three football

874
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: is crazy. I wouldn't be shocked by the Dolphins, and

875
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,919
Speaker 1: I wouldn't, but I I kind of starting to feel

876
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: like the Lions have some up their sleeve. I think

877
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: I already I already think that they're a wild card team.

878
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: All outsiders had them as I mean, they were almost

879
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: all four teams almost had the exact same projection from them.

880
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: But the Lions by just like a decimal point where

881
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: their NFC North favorites not suffered when he's healthy. Is badass.

882
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: And also they're COVID relieve their COVID list, like I think,

883
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: didn't they even put like carry On Johnson like they

884
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: have like a they have like U. I feel like

885
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: they're not on the COVID list, but I mean, this

886
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: is the COVID list is interesting because you actually don't

887
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: even know who got COVID or not unless the players

888
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: want to. It's also six weeks away from the season

889
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: right now, so I don't put too much on it

890
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: was Kenny Golladay, I'm sorry and t J. Hawkins. But

891
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: either way like that, it's a really like they're beefy,

892
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: you know the Lions. Yes, the Lions need something up

893
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: their sleeve. I know they went to the playoffs a

894
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: few years back. They got robbed, uh in the playoff

895
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: game against the Cowboys. I think it was the should

896
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: have won the game. Something happened wacky at the end. Uh.

897
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: But but you know the game, right, yeah, of course

898
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: because before like, yes, we know the game. This is

899
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: the most painful memory of our last twenty years. We

900
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 1: don't have my was that call? It was? It was

901
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: a rough call? What was the call? While we're here

902
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys? It was I don't even remember. It

903
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: was a week before the cat it was right, but

904
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: it man, I'd have to do. This is Mark? This

905
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: from Drew. How is Mark? Finding? Is blue Jay's fandom

906
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: so far? Mark a fan of the not Toronto Blue Jays,

907
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: but the Buffalo Blue Jays. It's a one year contract,

908
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: um I and I you know, I think a lot

909
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: of people thought I'd probably watched that Sunday and then

910
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: never again. I've watched every one of their games. I

911
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: actually watched, um the entire ten inning uh loss. They

912
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: had this guy Yamaguchi who's lost. He's been dinged up

913
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: in two extra innings losses. Get him out of there.

914
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: This guy cannot deal with it. But they have a clo.

915
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: He's played that role in these extra inning games. I

916
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not one of these guys that pretends

917
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 1: I know everything about the team because I've been following

918
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: them for four days. People ask me questions, I say,

919
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: I have no idea what the answers but I and

920
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: I also don't have a baseball I but I did

921
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: watch this guy, Nate Pearson pitch and he looked like

922
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: the real deal to me. I mean, he was super solid.

923
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: So I think there are a frisky team. They're three

924
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: and four right now. They took these they were in

925
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: much better position two days ago. They're out of commission

926
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 1: for Corona on the weekend. Terrible timing. They are frisky.

927
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: I could see them as a wild card team. Part

928
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: aren't a ton of baseball teams getting in the playoffs anyways? Yeah, they,

929
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, barring the meltdown, they gotta have to have

930
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: sixteen teams able to play the playoffs. Of the league

931
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: is out this weekend with Corona. Corona related delays, which

932
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: is such a pretty big percentage. Gotta keep the faith. Yeah,

933
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 1: that's pretty rough right now. But you picked a really

934
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: good team, Mark, That is a team at They are

935
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: in the American League east of my Yankees, and they

936
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: have an awesome young core Bo Bashette. These are all

937
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: guys tied to former stars. Bobashette his father, Mark, that's

938
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: right in your Midnight Star, Mark, I think you're thinking

939
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: of Boba Fette who that's He's not that son, Yes,

940
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: Calvin Bio, Craig Bisios son, Bobashette, Dante Bischette's son, and

941
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Vlad Guerrero Senior son. I mean that,

942
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: and all those guys are peak prospects. I took like,

943
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: I took a lot of advice from from baseball watchers

944
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: on which team to pick, and they got a lot

945
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: of mentions, and um, that's why I went there, and

946
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: I'm glad I did. They have been fun to watch,

947
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: all right. A couple more from Scride. Would you trade

948
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: not being on the cover of the Gatesville Messenger for

949
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: a release of the Delaware tapes In a second, I

950
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: would give up the cover of the Messenger, and I

951
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: wanted to thank, by the way, Heather Ashley, who wrote

952
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: the piece um that was on the front page of

953
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 1: this week Messenger of the old Zeuser. But I would

954
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: give it all up if Greg just finally gave us

955
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: the tapes, produced the Delaware tapes, uh, and just made

956
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: us all so happy in this time where there's not

957
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: a lot of happiness. I like that you think I've

958
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: just had them and holding out all these years. And Delaware,

959
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: of course is Greg's prog rock band that he started

960
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: in high school and he was the lead singer one

961
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: day Ricky then of the Avenue. Can you rank the

962
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift albums? That's like naming That's harder than naming

963
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: your first born, Like I cannot. Okay, Well, let me

964
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: preface saying this like it's probably the hardest thing I've

965
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: ever had to do. And I think no matter what

966
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 1: I say will be controversial. But that's just a testament

967
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: to Swift ease in their passion, you know, so hot

968
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 1: take right off the bat her release in two thousand fourteen.

969
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: Banger after banger albums are actually perfect from Star just

970
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: to finish besides shake it off right second, this is

971
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: I mean this, it can go anyway. Fearless two, You've

979
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: is grown on me. I feel like at the Newest August,

980
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: the Great Last American Dynasty, all that stuff. Taylor Swifts

981
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: self title album in two thousands six. I think you

982
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 1: guy should have said no picture to burn tear drops

00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: on my guitar, like real grassroots tailor. So like you,

984

985
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 1: to be last. But it's still not even bad, like

986
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: you don't blame me, so it goes gorgeous, you know,

987
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: I think that day, Yeah, I mean, there's so many

988
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: good ones even though it's the worst one, you know,

989
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 1: so it's like, what what are we doing here? Delicate

990
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: got Delicate on that record? Come on that's good. That

991
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,919
Speaker 1: was a good list. Thank you. I think it's really

992
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: tough off the top. They're all so good. There's no

993
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: wrong answer, you know. Good job, Ricky, thank you. I

994
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: pretty much agree with you. I don't know her earlier stuff,

995
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: but I trust you on that. And finally this one.

996
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: I guess this guy started a Twitter handle to ask

997
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: this question or he just talks about this constantly. This

998
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: from the Slim big Ben Revenge Tour at Slim big

999
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: Ben Double as seven. How good do you think Skinny

1000
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: big Ben will be? Roethlisberger, the Steelers quarterback who's known

1001
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: for being you know, a bit zaftig, you know, a

1002
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: bit has been working out after that elbow surgery and

1003
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: apparently he's really trimmed down some of the body mass index.

1004
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 1: But as a skinny big bed a guy that we want,

1005
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: I feel like Big big Ben is the guy we need.

1006
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: It's not. It's not skinny Ben big Ben for a reason.

1007
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: I think it's good for him. But um, you know,

1008
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: wait and see. Steelers like not getting talked about as

1009
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: much as I think there should be this off season,

1010
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: not really at all. They seem to be going right

1011
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: under the radar. But this is the weird offseason to

1012
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: say that anyone is kind of under the radar because

1013
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: everything is kind of just buried right now. How much

1014
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: was did he lose? How skinny is he? I don't like,

1015
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know. But the other reason why workout

1016
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: in the little workout videos, but you haven't you haven't

1017
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: really seen much. He seems in good shape. He played

1018
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: fairly well in They're a Super Bowl condetor. I don't

1019
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: know how under the radar they had to me. They're

1020
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: a top five, a top five team, and at the

1021
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: top five or six, I just don't think they're They're

1022
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: talked about as a toime team this offseason, and I

1023
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying, Dan, but I mean in their

1024
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 1: own division. I think probably the Ravens get talked about

1025
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: endlessly and and probably the Browns get talked more about

1026
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 1: more than than the Steelers this offseason, which is absurd.

1027
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: Let's see the reason I bring this up because in

1028
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 1: another mail bag, Jake Glazer writes a mail bag not

1029
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: the mail bag. Uh, he had a little crack at

1030
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: Big Ben's expense that his idea of an offseason workout

1031
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: was one yoga class and then going to the bar

1032
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: or something. I couldn't remember exactly what what he said,

1033
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 1: but it led to Jake Glazer having to have a

1034
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: conversation with Roethlisberg clear the air because big Ben thought

1035
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: that was selling him short on his how hard he's

1036
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: worked during his rehab. So listen, big Ben's plugged in.

1037
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: He's skinny. You don't know if that's the best verse.

1038
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: And here's the chirping. He's someone who's very interested in

1039
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: what the listeners are saying. His Twitter followers are saying,

1040
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: he's all over it. Are you still blocked? Greg? Have

1041
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: you checked in a while? I can check. I assume

1042
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: I still would be. What is it? It's weird like

1043
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: big Ben seven or something? Underscore seven, Underscore big Ben seven? Wait,

1044
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 1: way to go locking up that name? Big Ben Underscore seven.

1045
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: All right, well, Greg looks that up for the mail bag.

1046
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm blocked. Good job. Thank you everybody for listening to
