00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: a plane and fly into the tundra. How about that

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: frozen tundra that's see, that's Wisconsin, bro that they like.

24
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to like warm up to the idea

25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: that I'm staring at. Dan Hans is wearing a Dan

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: hands this shirt. A picture of himself on the shirt.

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: Dan leads. Dan leads the all time using the third

00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: person standings on this podcast to two. I don't know

29
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: who has to, but so wearing your own T shirt

30
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: makes sense. Now let's clear it up for the audience

31
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. This shirt was a gift from a

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: really talented illustrator. His name is Electric. Excuse it electric,

33
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: I call him Electric. Alexis Frederick Frost and uh he

34
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: he actually sent us some of his children's books that

35
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 1: he illustrates. That has since become Jack's favorite book ever.

36
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: Uh so, so check that out. The book is called

37
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm Gonna plug in there if it's gonna come up.

38
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: The book is called Ogres Away Book. Anyway. He also

39
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: drew some you know what do they call these um

40
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: um characterizations caricatures of each of us. Put it on

41
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: a T shirt. Great, Yeah, and I'm shooting something a

42
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: little later today for the our Tuesday Super Bowl show

43
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: video show that will air. Uh. We're taping a Tuesday

44
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, will air on next Friday, a week from Friday. Uh.

45
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: And you know that's part of my costume. Okay, and

46
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm totally cool that i'd wear it anyway, But I

47
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: didn't notice something, uh that nobody's like mentioned it as

48
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: they're like walking. Matt Harmon, for instance, the fantasy guy

49
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: Matt Matt Harmon walked by me kind of his eyes

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: dropped down, didn't say anything, which means he's like, as

51
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: he's walking by, he's like, oh, what a dude, he's

52
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: judging you. And I mean it's you know, you're you're

53
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: doing it for a a work mandated video role. It's fine,

54
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: so you should not be judged. But people don't know

55
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: that you're going to be heavily judged by at least

56
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: a few people in the building. That that's Harmon's move.

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: He's always just judging us quietly. Um, is that true?

58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: I don't think that's true. We'll get Maddie in in

59
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: the offseason on the Around the NFL podcast Big Show

60
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: today again, Yes, the last show before we head to

61
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: Minneapolis are super Bowl week. We can say super Bowl

62
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: week again with no punishment. Uh, no trips to the

63
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: NFL media agony Chamber. So we are in the clear.

64
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Colleen's still in there. Actually it's a little girl. You

65
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: wonder how much he can take. That's I'm concerned that

66
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: maybe we might have taken this too far. Something about

67
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: it from a human resources side feels a little off. Well, no,

68
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: they're the ones that built that place. If I know, Coneen,

69
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: she's just napping in there. Let's hope. So let's hope

70
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: it's not a long nap. Today's show it is super

71
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Bowl Week once the calendar turns over, and uh, we're

72
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: gonna do a little super Bowl week overs and unders. Uh.

73
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: This is all of us have covered many super bowls now,

74
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: so we kind of know the beats of the week. Uh,

75
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: and we've seen the Patriots more than Jesus Christ. Another

76
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: week of the Patriots. This will be the fifth, get ready,

77
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: the fifth Patriots super Bowl alone that I've covered. Look

78
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: at that, how about that? It's ridicular there two and two.

79
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: So this you've covered five Patriots super Bowl because my

80
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: first one that I covered was the first Giants Patriots

81
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight two thousand seventh season. You've

82
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: covered five super Bowls for your favorite team. I am

83
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: almost thirty eight years old and my team has never

84
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: played in the Super Bowl in my lifetime. There is

85
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: a difference. We've we've talked about this West and I

86
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: covered Bears Patriots in January of X. By the way,

87
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: so we've got you beat. You guys are out all

88
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: night snowstorms back in the mid eighties. When we finish

89
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: Little Genesis, some snowstorms. All right, Today's show hit the news,

90
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: what's going on around the league. We will also, as

91
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: I said, do the Super Bowl week over under. And

92
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Kevin patra he is in Orlando. You might

93
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: remember last year they told Connor or hey, buddy, you're

94
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: not going to the super Bowl. We're sending to the

95
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, which led to to the song this song

96
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: A man's band got him mortgage drinks the brown stuff

97
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: that reads up this Bolige beating Manton my not State Ballet.

98
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: Connor Orlando Today. Of course Kevin Patrick doesn't get his

99
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: own song, but he will be on today's show. We're

100
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna see what's going on with k pat and he's

101
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: he drew the better straw here because he's going to

102
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: the super Bowl directly after this after. I don't think

103
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Connor was super enthused about the idea that he was

104
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: going to the Pro Bowl instead of the super Bowl.

105
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: That you wouldn't pick that combination. Yeah, but both. What

106
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: I like about Patra he's a grumbler. He's going to

107
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: be annoyed that he's gonna have to go to both

108
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: for a full week and all that. So we'll check

109
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: it with him. See what out of all your musical renditions,

110
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: that one is by far my favorite? Oh thank you.

111
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a little I don't want to slight

112
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: Kim d J. But but the Connor Orlando today is

113
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just strikes me. I really appreciate that. West.

114
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it. Let's do some news.

115
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: You're going to compete against me, you better be willing

116
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: to give up your life. That was the first episode

117
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: of the Tom versus Time Facebook series Handmade for You. Well,

118
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch it because I'm interest that just like

119
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: behind the scenes of Tom Braid, but calmed down a

120
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: little bit with the histrionics of that, Like I'm willing

121
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: to give up my life? Yeah, I don't know about

122
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: the context of the but Jesus complex anyone, it's like,

123
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: what are you really like bit much giving up? He

124
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: was saying. And I it's a smart point, saying basically,

125
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: everything choose to, everything you choose to do is essentially

126
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: choosing not to do something else in vice versa. And

127
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: he's saying that, you know you gotta you gotta make choices.

128
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: So what's he giving up? Though? Like kids? Life? But

129
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: he know he very quickly likes to show that he

130
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: spends all this time with his kids too. He's he's

131
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: he's he's not completely unbalanced where he's hidden alone. And

132
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: it's a little here's thing. It's a little condescending to

133
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: the other human beings that are pro football quarterbacks. And

134
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: we get it, you're the best, but it's basically putting

135
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: all of them you just don't really understand like I do.

136
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: I'll even leave it just a quarterbacks, but sure the

137
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: rest of us. Very unselfish of him to sacrifice losing

138
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: football games. That's what he's cut out of. And I

139
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: but I don't doubt that he cuts out more of

140
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: his life than all of us or most NFL quarterbacks.

141
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: And and is kind of a has a one dimensional

142
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: life on something. But totally and all in all seriousness,

143
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm asking you what is he really cutting out? He's

144
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: not cutting out a life of luxury where he has

145
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: everything he needs around because a lot of other people,

146
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: how about how about someone working three jobs just to

147
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: put food on the table, they're not doing what they wanted?

148
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: Is something he's cut out of his life? The ability

149
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: to take like an hour just to do whatever you

150
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: want and do nothing. He's cut that out, just like

151
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: certain foods that he would enjoy, he's cut out. Yeah,

152
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of it is like

153
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: the ability to have free time to use it instead

154
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: of obsessing over being the best football player you could

155
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 1: possibly be. He's like cutting out fallon SNL. But you

156
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: could dr all that. That's all. I don't know if

157
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: he's watching. It was a very boring first episode that

158
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: you can you can skip ahead to episode two. There

159
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: was not much and I love I'll watch, oh watch

160
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: it regardless. I'll definitely be there wasn't much to it. Uh.

161
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: And here's something that's interesting. Cowboys VP Stephen Jones, son

162
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: of Gerald, has not been pulling any punches. Uh. In

163
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: the media when asked about Dez, he was on the

164
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: Hanging with the Boys podcast, which West, I know you

165
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: are a subscriber. It's on Dallas Cowboys dot com. I

166
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: didn't know it was about the Cowboys. Hang with the Boys, bro. Uh.

167
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: He had this to say when asked about Bryant's well

168
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: known sideline. Antics you know, the other thing that uh

169
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: we all see, it's certainly visible to anyone who uh

170
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: watches our games, watches our sideline is Dez is certainly

171
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: a fiery guy, plays with a lot of emotion both

172
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: on and off the field, and uh, sometimes that can

173
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: be a distraction. It can be a distraction for dads,

174
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: it can be a distraction for other teammates. And we

175
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: just have to, uh, you know, really get our hands

176
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: around where when you put all the full body of

177
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: work together, where that's headed. And of course, uh, we

178
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money. He knows that. He's aware

179
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: of it as anybody when he talked to Jerry and myself,

180
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: and you know, he knows when you get paid that

181
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: kind of money, there's high expectations in terms of the productivity,

182
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, and so those are all things that

183
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: we have to look at as a team. As an

184
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: organization when we uh start to put our team together

185
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: for next year, Mark is des Dunne in Dallas. Well,

186
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: I mean Dez Bryant made it very clear and probably

187
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: what we're emotional locker room comments late in the season

188
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: after the Cowboys season was basically could put say no,

189
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take I'm great, I'm not gonna take

190
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: a pay cut. And he's got a sixteen point five

191
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: million dollar cap hit, And this to me feels a

192
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: little bit like setting the table to say that we

193
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: understand you aren't the des brian of old. By the way,

194
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: some of the baggage that comes with the des Briant

195
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: experience is still part of what we're dealing with. So

196
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: when we're gonna ask you to take a pay cut,

197
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: it's not coming out of nowhere. At the same time,

198
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, Briana want to do it? I I

199
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: how do you pay this guy? The third highest among

200
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers going into next season The last time he

201
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: had a thousand yards season. Peyton Manning and Colin Kaepernick

202
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: were good at football in a while, and and it's

203
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of annoying because uh and sad because he

204
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: was so fun and explosive, and and he was such

205
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: he had such a great rapport with Tony Romo, and

206
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: it simply hasn't translated. I think it's been a combination

207
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: of two things. The chemistry is not the same with Romo,

208
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: and then dess ability. Maybe through injuries and bumps and

209
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: bruises through the years, they caught up to him. We're

210
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: accepting you into the Scientists Society because a year ago,

211
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: year a half ago, at this time, you went out

212
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: on a limb and said, I don't think death is

213
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: ever going to be the same after that good surgery.

214
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: And I cast a sideways glancer to it you and like,

215
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: where are you getting this is? Is this just zeuser

216
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: intuition here or what? But it turned out to be

217
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: dead on. So I'm the only one not in the

218
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: side it already end. I'm already in I don't know.

219
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: I don't think Greg agrees with the idea. Come down

220
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: to the lab. It's been getting dusty. There hasn't been

221
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: a lot of work even getting done that there. We

222
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: need to catch up with the offseason coming. I like

223
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: it upstairs, like the kitchen that's right about the steps

224
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: that leads to the base and hanging out there, uh

225
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: in other news. So we'll see that's gonna be a

226
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: big story to tract. By the way, this is the

227
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: thing I can already see. It's already happening. Every time

228
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: Does Bryant speaks or anyone speaks about Dez Bryant, it

229
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: is a post on our website. This is the story

230
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: that no one can unhook themselves from. And this is

231
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: why I don't enjoy this Brian and leading total access.

232
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: Some skill sets don't age well. His might be one

233
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: of those. But you know, part of those comments where

234
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: Steve Steven Jones would asked about it was, you know

235
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: what Jerry thinks of Jones. He loves him like a son.

236
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: He really loves death. So it's almost like Stephen Jones

237
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: is separating him, Like, yeah, dad is just kind of

238
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: emotionally attached. I guess we're gonna have to we might

239
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: have to just keep paying him. Meanwhile, I looked quickly

240
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: at the cap numbers. You know, he's do sixteen and

241
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: a half million cap number, one of the highest cap

242
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: numbers next year eight point nine million for Tony Romo,

243
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: so that that's still hurting them next year. Um, I

244
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: think Stephen and Gerard are playing a little good cop bad.

245
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: I think so too, And I don't think Brian's back.

246
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: I think they're there. I can see them draft. They're

247
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: they're building a little paper file here like we've been

248
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: whispering all off season. In other news, Yes, we will

249
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: be talking with Kevin Patra h. He spoke with leviyan Bell,

250
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: who's at the Pro Bowl in Orlando, and uh, it's

251
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: pretty good talking about insider anyway. He told patra that

252
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: he is confident that a long term deal will get

253
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: done with the Steelers, and there is I guess there's

254
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: been reports that there's some some belief that all this

255
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: talk about he's oh, Leve I'm gonna sit out of here,

256
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: and the Steelers aren't gonna blink that when this when

257
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: everything uh turns over and toward a new season, he'll

258
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: be under contract. Uh And that would probably make sense, right.

259
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: I love the changing of the guard among NFL insiders. Here.

260
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: You've got Peter King on Twitter throwing out speculation that

261
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: Leve Bell is gonna sign with the Raiders. Everybody's assuming

262
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: that because he missed the walkthrough, he's not gonna be

263
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: back with the Steelers. And there's Patrick with boots on

264
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: the the story. He's just changing the whole nature of

265
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: the story. Kevin Patras, although shaping it. You could read

266
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: between the lines and think maybe love Bells realizing, you know,

267
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers aren't necessarily gonna give him everything that he wants,

268
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: and he has to kind of throw it out there

269
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: that I want to be, I want to be. He's

270
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: manipulating Kevin Patra. I mean, no one can do that.

271
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: That's true. Never happened, never will happen. Uh. In other news,

272
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: Josh McCown was at NFL Network. Deaker, who's um a

273
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: fine woman behind the scenes here at the NFL Network, uh,

274
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: contacted me on our instant messinging clients like you gotta

275
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: you gotta get in say hi to Josh McCown. You

276
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: gotta like I'm good, really, Tara Deaker, Tara our very own.

277
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: Jeremy Bergman from downstairs interviewed him and my first question was,

278
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: is the hair on Josh McCown. I feel like he

279
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: could have been, you know, the seventh or eighth person

280
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: and Madman if they were looking for new characters back

281
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: and then he has an old like feel to him. Yeah. Absolutely.

282
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: And Bergman said that you know, it was impressive. But

283
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, I thought he said he could

284
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: have used a little bit of jail, a little products,

285
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yes he does that, he does does

286
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: He was game, but you know he's showing up. Oh yeah,

287
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean his his jaw could be like the fifth

288
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: member of this podcast that things in the force of nature. Anyway,

289
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: So McCown was on our flagship program in NFL Network,

290
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Total Access, and uh, he wants to keep playing and

291
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: he'd like it to be with the Jets. Here's what

292
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: Josh had to say right now. That's how it's looking

293
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: at this time of the year. I go through the

294
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: conversations with my family and uh, and you know, talk

295
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: with him through that and pray through that, and but

296
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: you know where we're at right now. You know, I'm

297
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: feeling I want to play. So I'm looking forward to

298
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: the next few months seeing what happens, and uh, you

299
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: know I'll be ready to go. I'd be rise that

300
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: feeds back with the Jets the more I think about it,

301
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: because I really think the Jets are gonna come out

302
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: of this draft and free agency with a new option

303
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: at quarterback and West. The other the other reason I

304
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: think that is McCown. He played so well before he

305
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: got hurt last year. Why does he want to be

306
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: somebody's just like mentor can't he get a job somewhere? No,

307
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: I think he's a bridge quarterback. I think everyone knows

308
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: he's a bridge quarterback, and nobody here's a market for

309
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: bridge quarterbacks. Yeah, but nobody's should trust Josh McCown to

310
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: play sixteen games. He plays with a reckless playing style.

311
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: He's he's injured quite a bit, as Mark knows from

312
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: the Cleveland days. I see him as a guy who

313
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense for the Jets. They have

314
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: so much respect for him. And this is a draft

315
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: where a guy like Baker Mayfield or Josh Allen could

316
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: could definitely fall to number six. I don't know if

317
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm Kirk Cousins, if I want to go to the

318
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: Jets or somewhere like that, even if I'm free, there

319
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: are gonna be a lot fewer bridge quarterback opportunities after

320
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: this draft, I think, And unless, unless some of these

321
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: teams look at these quarterbacks and say, and this is possible,

322
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: not ready in year one, So you're gonna get the

323
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. The Alex Smith. But the Jets, to me,

324
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if if they bring back m Account, it

325
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: better be because they've drafted Baker Mayfield as someone who

326
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: they want to rest for a year. We talked on

327
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: this yesterday. There this is these teams, the Jets, the Browns,

328
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: all these QB needy teams, maybe even the Broncos. This

329
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: is your time. You don't have another You can't float

330
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: around with some fill in the blank veteran under center.

331
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: I never put anything past the Jets in terms of

332
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: messing things up, but there seems to be no chance

333
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: they'll just be like, oh Josh, he's our quarterback next year.

334
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: They kind of did that this year. I think they'll

335
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a young guy or if the rest

336
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: of you know, it actually worked against them, if you

337
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: really want to keep it real, they almost wouldn't need

338
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: played and he played well enough to give them five

339
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: wins when they probably would have been better off winning

340
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: two or three. But he played well enough if if

341
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: like the team around him was great, like they could

342
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: have been a winning team. The keenomsque situation, maybe yeah, yeah,

343
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: I think he played. He played that well and they

344
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: have We even mentioned that John Morton got fired. By

345
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: the way that we have not we didn't pick that

346
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: they That makes it less likely to me that they

347
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: would bring mccaun back. Now they promoted Jeremy bank Bates,

348
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: who's been a quarter quarterback. But it is a changing

349
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: of the garden. It was a surprising fire. He used

350
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: thirty eight and I always seven. It's like, oh, you know,

351
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: he's not a truth thirty eight because he sat on

352
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 1: the bench. He is because he's still He's as brittle

353
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: as they come. On some level. There's always something happening

354
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: to him. He's definitely a true thirty eight. We're talking

355
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: about guy who was coaching high school football five years ago.

356
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of case, Keenum had such a special year with

357
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Everything fell apart for that team last Sunday,

358
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: but still Keenum was one of the great stories of

359
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: the year. You would think that would lock him in

360
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: with the Vikings. But slow your roll, Mark, specifically stop

361
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: assuming that Mark stop being I will well, I you

362
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: know you guys are down in your the three of

363
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: you now are all down in the sign to lab

364
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm upstairs throwing darts. So you know, when when Mike

365
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: Zimmer spoke in his end of year press conference. When

366
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: asked if Keenum deserved to be the teams signal caller

367
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: next year, his response was quote, we're going to work

368
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: through the process now. Yes, obvious coach speak, Greg, obvious

369
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: coach speak. But at the same time, don't you think

370
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: Case Kingdom maybe deserves a little bit more than coach

371
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: speaking that spot? What a year he yet? Yes, but

372
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised based on Zimmer's public comments throughout the season,

373
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: and I'm not surprised based on some not so you know,

374
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: reading between the lines comments from insiders throughout the season

375
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: where they made it clear that Zimmer I don't know

376
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: if I really embraced the idea of Keenum as like

377
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: a long term quarterback, nor should he, right, But and

378
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: he's started to back up his whole career, and just

379
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: because he's not one two b s, it was a

380
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: perfect storm for him with Pat Shermer's coordinator, great wide

381
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: receiver corps, solid offensive line, solid running game. Everything went

382
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: as perfectly as it could for Case Keendom. You can't

383
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: bet twenty million dollars a year on that happening. Again,

384
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: I feel like bad teams and it's not to downplay

385
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: what Keenum did this season. You could overreact to one

386
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: good year on the cusp of a thirty year old,

387
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, quarterback campaign and massively overpay him, and then

388
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: he comes back down to earth with a new coordinator

389
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: and you're stuck with that contract. So we just spent

390
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: last week having the conversation that it's not fair to

391
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: call Case Keenum or put him in the category of

392
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: Nick Foles because Case Keenum has proven this year that

393
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: he's an actual player and a guy that's a major

394
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: reason for their success. I feel like after one loss

395
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: now we're willing to knock him back down. I I

396
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: just think it's because I think it's because we've seen

397
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: this before with a certain quarterback. It's it's in sharp

398
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: contrast to win. Alex Flynnigan from NFL Network interviewed John

399
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: Lynch yesterday about the idea of bringing back Jimmy Garoppolo,

400
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: which is obviously going to happen. And John Lynch, you know,

401
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: he's got a quarterback with a contract situation coming up,

402
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: and there was no hedging the bets. It was like, oh,

403
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: he wants it well, but but they've found a franchise quarterback,

404
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: and from top to bottom, everyone believes it. I think,

405
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: as Gregg pointed out, with Keenum, there isn't a belief

406
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: top to bottom. This is the same GM the drafted

407
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater and the same coach was there when they

408
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: did it. I mean there are other apple, other you know,

409
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: irons in the fire. It's complicated because other they're All

410
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: you need is one team that wants to pay Case

411
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: Keenum a lot of money the vice market, you would

412
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: think there will be one. I think the Vikings have

413
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: more options than Case Keenum has options, especially when Dave

414
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 1: Gettuman comes out and says we're keeping Eli manning for

415
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen, so you're not following Pat Shermer to

416
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: the Giants. That's one avenue that's closed down. And the

417
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: Vikings have Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater as options too.

418
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: Lindsay question, See if I asked you which player in

419
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: the NFL move the most merchandise in the NFL shop

420
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: in the seventeen season, who would you say it was?

421
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: Who'd you guess? Do you want a hint? No, No,

422
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: just one. It's not Mike Lennon, I'll give you him.

423
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: It's quarterback. I would say Carson Wentz. Wow, for the

424
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: wind Carson. Wentz was the number one merch mover that's

425
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: jerseys and all other articles associated with a player's name

426
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: and likeness, according to NFL Shop data delivered directly to

427
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: the A t N Insider. Yeah, well what the truth?

428
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: Go to the zeus me up, hit me up. There's

429
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: another third person for the scoreboard. It's up to eighties.

430
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm'm literally wearing a shirt with my own Kevin Patrick.

431
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: Wentz was the number one seller that this season, uh,

432
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: spanning September one through January eighteen. Uh. He was not

433
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: the number one mover in terms of who sold in

434
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: the most in the most states. Tommy Boy Brady sold

435
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: in ten states. It was the number one seller all

436
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: six New England states, but also New York, where he

437
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: was the number one seller. I would able to sell

438
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: a jersey and you know, at least one New York

439
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: and like, oh, why how could that happen in New York?

440
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: Look at a map. New York's entire east side borders

441
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: in New England, and it's a bad time for the

442
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: Jets and the Giants. Many all these Patriots fans I

443
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: would have assumed already have a Tom Brady jersey are

444
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: you buying it for your kids? It's like you're into

445
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: the second and third generation of Patriots fans, just bathing

446
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: and glory, So you're buying jerseys for the next wave

447
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: of family members. Not my son, Walker seems to be

448
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan. He's definitely getting on board. I could

449
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: get him one evil continue not defensive about New York, right,

450
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: but a lot of people don't understand what New York

451
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: really is, how huge it is, and how much of

452
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: it could not be further removed from actually like the

453
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: New York City area anyway. Also, Brady was number one

454
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: in Indiana, Florida, Hawaii, UH in those New England states

455
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: and um Wentz. Wentz was number one uh in states

456
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: ranging from Jersey to Kentucky to North Dakota where he

457
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: played ball I believe in Montana. It was also number

458
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: one in the District of Columbia. President and quarterback are

459
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: the two most important positions in this country. And Wentz

460
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: and Brady had better years than the president. Wow, that's fair.

461
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: And some other surprises this Greg These are for you.

462
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: I know you love these little nugs. Some hot nugs

463
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: for your right here. Alvin Kamara outsild Drew Brees in

464
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: Louisiana number one, Kamara, bad news for you, Mark, Antonio

465
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: Brown number one in Ohio. We're going Camara, not Camara,

466
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: whatever you guys, Antonio Brown number one in Ohio. Mark,

467
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: how about that? I mean, I can't almost play What

468
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: what jersey do you buy? As a Browns fan? I

469
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: thought Myles Garret would have a chance, but the bank

470
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: and it's pretty amazing. CHRISTI Christian McCaffrey beat out Cam

471
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: Newton for number one. Shawn Watson number one in South Carolina.

472
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: The rookies have an inherent edge, I suppose, right, And

473
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: but then Brady doesn't matter. He's in his I mean

474
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: he's He's Tom Brady. He's Tom Brady. It's true anyway.

475
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: So that's that's fun, little merch talk in a big spot.

476
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: And finally, the XFL is back. Remember the XFL. I

477
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: I watched the opening inaugural game of of the XFL

478
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: in New York City when it was awful. It was terrible,

479
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: and about five minutes in you knew that you had

480
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: been sold. But here it was. I think I remember

481
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: where I was one spring of two thousand. I believe

482
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: it was. It will It launched a ninety nine, like announced,

483
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: So I think, yeah, two thousand the following season. But

484
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: here's what's amazing to me. So Vince McMahon, who runs

485
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: w w A, confirmed this just before our show today

486
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: on Thursday, that he will be relaunching the cef L.

487
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: He hopes that the league off the ground by January. Uh.

488
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: My question and this is and we're gonna again off

489
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: to ask Lindsay her thoughts on this. Lindsey a monster

490
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: professional wrestling fan. That was a huge disaster twenty years ago.

491
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: And I know there's a lot of reasons, Um why

492
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon, like he thought at the end of the nineties,

493
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: why it would work. And I know he's changing up

494
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: the model a little bit. He doesn't want to take

495
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: on the NFL. But I don't care when you're doing

496
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: it in the season you're taking on the NFL. What

497
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: what's gonna change this time compared to last time, Lindsay, Well,

498
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: I didn't really watch it the first time. I was

499
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: like the rest of the world where I watched the

500
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: first one and never cared about it again, right, And

501
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the one thing that stood out to me

502
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: in his press conference was that he said he wants

503
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: to make this all about the fans and listen to

504
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: the fans, but he doesn't. He does a horrible job

505
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: with that with w w E. And it's almost like

506
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: he does the exact opposite of what everybody wants in

507
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: w w E. Now he did and he did start

508
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: up a whole company just too franchise to um to

509
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: be able to raise money for this venture, and he

510
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: says that has absolutely nothing to do with w w E.

511
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: So I imagine that's the one thing that will be

512
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: different because they kind of intermixed. Well, they're not yet.

513
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: They're not attached at all this time, right, So that's

514
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: that's the one thing. Well, if he's running it, though,

515
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: that's like saying, well, he said there will be and

516
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: he's running this, so he's attached, I guess, is my point.

517
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: But he said they're the most important thing. Yeah, I

518
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: mean I think I think the way why is it now?

519
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's absurd. A lot of absurd things are

520
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: announced and uh dove into every month of every year.

521
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: So I it's sure it's happening again. But there's this

522
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: is the season where there's a distinct backlash from parts

523
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: of our country against the NFL, and he's talking about, Hey,

524
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: our players are not going to have he said, no

525
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: one with a d U I will be allowed in

526
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: the XFL, No one with X, Y and Z. Everything

527
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: that you can't stand about the NFL. We're going to

528
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: embrace your voice. And it's a pocket of fans and

529
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: it's a rather large pocket part of this country. Maybe

530
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: that's where you're hoping it starts you, you know what.

531
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm starting to piece this together in real time. He's

532
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: also a staunch conservative. He's gonna learn lean into the

533
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: conservative values end of this the people that have been

534
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: turned off by the NFL and the anthem and that's

535
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: where like no thugs with the US, he's gonna he

536
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: wants to play that type of angle and maybe get

537
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: your traction. I don't know from Trump America. Maybe that's

538
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: his power play here. That's definitely one angle. There's a

539
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: second angle that, in my opinion, the NFL um used

540
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: to be the vanguard of changing rules to make the

541
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: product more entertaining up until a few years ago, and

542
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: now the last few years they do not make it

543
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: more entertaining. The catch roll is a major issue, Instant

544
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: replay is a major issue, and one of the Vince

545
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: McMahon's goals is to make a two hour game with

546
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: an easy catch role. And to me, that's that's what

547
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: this league is gonna face plant. It's absolutely gonna But

548
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: the good that can come out of it is forcing

549
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: the NFL to look in the mirror on some of

550
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: its bad roles. Yeah. I think there's always been a

551
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: possibility and maybe even a need for another football league,

552
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: whether it was run by the NFL or not. It

553
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense that by far the most popular and

554
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: you said, you know, it's a it's a vocal uh

555
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: contingent against the NFL this year. Ultimately it's still dwarfing

556
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: everything else on the television dial, actually by a bigger

557
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: percentage than it ever has because all scripted programming is

558
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: down so much. For something that popular, you would think

559
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: you could have some sort of minor league or developmental

560
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: league or another thing. But I remember when I worked

561
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: at Pro Football Talk, we we spent like two years

562
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: writing about the build up to the UFL. I don't

563
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: know if anyone remembers like the I don't Josh McCown

564
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: played in the Jake Gruden, I believe, was a coach

565
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: in the ufl it's like and then and then it

566
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: got there and no one cared and nothing else happened.

567
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: And listening to McMahon's Prescott Printon, what he said, it's

568
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: very everything is very vague. He really has no plans yet.

569
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 1: It's like eight cities. That's about all he knows. We're

570
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna go listening. He says, we're gonna go listen

571
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: to the fans here what they want, and then figured out.

572
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean, last time, what you forget is that they

573
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: it was Dick Ebersol on NBC that partnered directly to

574
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: put these games on prime time on real television, And

575
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have that this time around at this

576
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: point at least. But I do like some of the

577
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: stuff they did. It was a massive disaster, but the

578
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: way they opened games, there was no kickoff. It was

579
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: two guys scrambling for the ball immediately. But I mean,

580
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 1: they tried this stuff right away. And I remember, like

581
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: honestly watching with a bunch of like guys in this

582
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: bar because it was there was a lot of juice around.

583
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: It was around two thousand one a week after you go,

584
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: like eight minutes into the first quarter, we were like oh,

585
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: just went back to our drinks and like it's like, oh,

586
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: this is a mess. Well the whole the hook of it.

587
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: The first time around Tommy Maddox played, it was no,

588
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: this isn't sissy football. It's like, you're gonna get killed.

589
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: No fair catches, you gotta no kickoff, scrabble for the ball.

590
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: I think the first scramble guy blew out his knee.

591
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it couldn't have been a bigger dissaster. And

592
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: it's a thirty for thirty. If you're interested in the history,

593
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: if you're a little younger and you don't know what

594
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: the XFL was all about, check it out. Um. Johnny

595
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: Manzel wants to play, he immediately tweeted out, but he

596
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: can't because maybe going once you're in, you can't have

597
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: it too. But I'll say that if you're already why

598
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: that works though, you have to you have to get

599
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: two or three of those glue guys that would make

600
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: us go watching. If Johnny Manzel was in the XFL,

601
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: I would turn on to watch McMahon quickly throughout, like

602
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: this will be a home for Tim Tebow if he

603
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: wants to play, so he knows what he's doing. He's

604
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: trying to. He would also in a heartbeat, bend that

605
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: rule to get Johnny Manzel into the least Vince McMahon

606
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: not known, like is the backbone of integrity. Yeah, I

607
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what the rules are. If there is

608
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: an XFL, if it actually happens, I would I would

609
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: bet strongly that Johnny Manzel like Manzel like, how is

610
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: that not happen? He's the m v P gets obvious

611
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: to U I and the way back from like one

612
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: of the games, there's no way he's going to leave

613
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: the league. They might even swipe it. They've got to

614
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: get one of those guys almost for every team, someone

615
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: that we are quarterback that we all remember. That's what

616
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: they should do. They should have Kaepernick each team. Kaepernick

617
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: each team. Well, that's not going to fit with he

618
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: doesn't want anything to do with Kaebern. Now, this league

619
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: exists because for people who don't like the NFL because

620
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: of kaepern He's trying to introduce you to the concept

621
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: of pro wrestling. Right, you're gonna have evil guys. Well,

622
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: nick Mann said, for what it's worth, there will be

623
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: no politics. No, I'm not in getting too politics, and

624
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: I at least we should stand up stick up for

625
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick here. There's no way Colin Kaepernick would ever

626
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: play in this lead in the first Let's give him

627
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: a little what about like r G three and Ocho

628
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: Sinko like that kind of stuff you get closer with.

629
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: They want to play and they're not going to get

630
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: an NFL role right now. Could draw like six fans

631
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: to a league. So wait, he's got a crazy following

632
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Nobody's watching like a four something year old

633
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: chant at Sunko fumble balls around a quarterback position. Also

634
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: a domestic violence history, so I guess that would eliminate

635
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: going forward. Um, all right, here we go, moving on.

636
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the news. Alright, super Bowl week

637
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: overs and unders. So we're gonna throw out some scenarios.

638
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: Um and uh offer a over under and then we'll

639
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: go around the room. I'll get it going. Mark was

640
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: furiously pointing someone else, start, well, I have an odd

641
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: one that I think would throw the tone of the game.

642
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: I know we've we've played the alright, I know how

643
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: this goes. I think the listener would be like, I've

644
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: got some XFL reading to catch any of these type

645
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: of when we play these games, I know, never to

646
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: start with you because yours will always be a lot different.

647
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: So I we we warm up to Sessler in these scenarios.

648
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: I got you, I got your back, buddy. This is going.

649
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: This part is going into the show. What you just

650
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: I got. I'll throw at a very like straight sort

651
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: of football one Dan does one, you know, it's kind

652
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: of funny, and then you have something that includes the

653
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: end of the world. We did not want to do

654
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: all football. We talked about that also with it right,

655
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: greg Or West straight one Dan, Oh, Dan's a little reverend,

656
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: and then Mark and asteroid hits the earth. You are listen,

657
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: you are you. It was commanded that we don't dip

658
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: entirely into football scenario. Sers we're not. We can say

659
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: super Bowl, but it's not our you know, the only

660
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: option here? All right, here we go, all right, why

661
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: don't we go through our old our all the ways?

662
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: So why don't you gotta go into Greg with something

663
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: very close to the best? All right, I'll I'll start

664
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: over over you know, by the way, we've been doing

665
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: our show too long. Over under Thursday Night. It's not

666
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: a it's not a number thing. Over under Thursday night.

667
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: We know the status of Rob Gronkowski for the game

668
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: by Thursday of next week, Thursday night of Super Bowl week,

669
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: I'll take the we know his status, we we know

670
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: for sure whether he's playing or not. Under would be

671
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: we know before that. I'll take the under. I will too,

672
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: because if he's actively practicing and he's out of the protocol,

673
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: he's playing. So I'll take it's over. Even if he's practicing,

674
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna list him as questionable a lot of times.

675
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: That protocol goes right up until Friday or Saturday. That's

676
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: why I chose there. I mean then I would go

677
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: over too, because I think the thing we're talking now,

678
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: we're talking the assumption is, oh, it's everyone in the buildings,

679
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: like of course he's playing. Like even if they list

680
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: everyone questions sheet and Tom Kern will have this by

681
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: winds right, So I don't think the Patriots are gonna

682
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: say it, though I'll never say no. We know for

683
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: sure if if if Ian had reported it definitively, that

684
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: would count that. We know, we know. I'm taking the under.

685
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: If you're coming, is it Ian specifically or any any

686
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: letter that we trust, anyone, anyone we trust Kevin Patra.

687
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: I'll take the under. I mean, yeah, and he's playing

688
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: come on, I mean, we hear well, I don't. I

689
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: don't think we need be an insider. But how many

690
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: players have has Zeuster talked to this year? Patrick's out

691
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: there with boots on the ground many of and I

692
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: talked to people behind the scenes. Concussions are tricky. You

693
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: just don't know like you're either cleared or you're not.

694
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: There's not you can't pudge it. Most guys they'll come

695
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: back after it, right, but but you never know when

696
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: it's gonna strike. Funny, it's tricky for Grant because he

697
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: has such like a low baseline of like he generally

698
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: seems concussed. Anyhow, this is a bit all right. Next one,

699
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: I'll do kind of a straight one too, over under

700
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: here we go. Percentage of Eagles fans against the capacity

701
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: and attendance at US Bank Stadium for Super Bowl fifty two.

702
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: I'll set the over under sixty six point six percent. Well,

703
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: we'll never get this, actually, but it's a fun time

704
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: here we go. I'm just saying, we're never gonna know

705
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: how I was gonna decide fan's gonna eyeball do you yeah,

706
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: sixth and let me just give you a little context.

707
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: I did's a math and nailed it. Sixty seven thousand

708
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: approximately uh at U S Bank Stadium, sixty six point

709
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: six percent would be about forty five k of that

710
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: sixty seven Eagles fans over under thousand Eagles fans in attendance.

711
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm going under because I think you have to remember

712
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: that a lot of fans aren't gonna be fans of

713
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: either the Patriots or the Eagles. That's part of it.

714
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people are just going to go to

715
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So I'm gonna go under for that reason.

716
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: I do think there will be more Eagles than Patriots

717
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: by quite a bit. I'll go I'll go under. I

718
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: think that you're not super far off. But there is

719
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: a memory of when they were in Arizona and they

720
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: showed Belichick coming down the tunnel and people went nuts

721
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: and booing him, and I thought, this crowd is so

722
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: heavy Seahawks right now. But then they showed Brady and

723
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: the place exploded, and there's a lot of neutral fans

724
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: in there that loved Tom Brady. We just heard about

725
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: the Jerseys. So I'm going I'm going underbe going way

726
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: way under. I wouldn't even say two thirds Eagles now.

727
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: I would say they'll be more Eagles fans. But it's

728
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: a huge percentage, which is really neither. I mean, that's

729
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: got to be a minimum, which is neither. And the

730
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: Patriots fans have showed up last year. They they certainly

731
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: not that the Falcons are a great fan base, uh

732
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: in terms of having huge numbers, But the Patriots fans

733
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: have showed up, and the Falcons went Falcons fans, and

734
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: it's not their fault went utterly quiet for the final

735
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: third of the game because they were next. The case

736
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 1: behind it for me is at what point has everyone

737
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: in New England that's wanted to go to a Super

738
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 1: Bowl gone for you know, if you're gonna make choices,

739
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: if you've already gone once or twice, and if you're

740
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: somebody that loves the Patriots and go to the Super Bowl,

741
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: you've probably done it by now at least once. Are

742
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: you gonna go to Minneapolis when you're thinking yourself, they'll

743
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: probably be back and I can shoot down to Atlanta

744
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: next year or two years from now when they're back again,

745
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: I'll go see in Miami. I already saw him twice

746
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: in the last twelve years. Meanwhile, the Eagles fans, these

747
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: people are crazy, I mean, Colleen's insane, Like this idea

748
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: that they have this opportunity to win a Super Bowl.

749
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna flood the market. That's that's

750
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: why I think that. And there has been a Patriots

751
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: fan belief. I think with the last two that this

752
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: is the last one, so we better go get to it.

753
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: But now I think that's eroded. Yeah, all right, we're

754
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: getting closer to marks. Don't over sell mine. That's a

755
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: bad way to do it. Inching our way to settler

756
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: over under think pieces on Ernie Adams, whom David Halberstam

757
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: called Belichick's Belichick in a year where his situational football

758
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: and the Patriots go h beat everyone at the final buzzer?

759
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: How many on Ernie Adams or so like? In terms

760
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: of where they would be housed on like any webs

761
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: site anywhere, or like the top twenty football websites. Potentially,

762
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: I would say any national website or Boston Globe, Boston Media,

763
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: or it would this be television featurettes. Has anyone in

764
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: this room ever written Ernie Adams piece? I feel like

765
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: hasn't someone from around the NFL at one point ran

766
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: in Ernie Adams piece. There's a definitive piece written by

767
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: Right Thompson, I believe in two thousand eight or two

768
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: thousand nine. I think Dan Shaughnessy's written about him. And

769
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: in both of these pieces, basically no information comes to

770
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: light because he's that much. He's cloak and dagger, like

771
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: nobody knows what he does. They once put players in

772
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: Boston once put up a picture of him in a

773
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: team meeting with the caption, does anybody know what this

774
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: guy does? You have to give a number though you

775
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: can't just too. He's been Belichick's like type coaching friend

776
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: for decades and decades and decades, and he's almost like

777
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: a special projects and he's been credited with some crazy

778
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: stuff over the years. Also been like yeah, he's also

779
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: been like in his times away from football, like a

780
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: masterful hedge fund manager who just he's a rainmaker who

781
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: makes people. He's the guy a Baltick bounces stuff off

782
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: and it sounds like during the game he does some

783
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: game management. You know, he different different coaches guys, and

784
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: he's one of them. So what are you putting the

785
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: over under at I'm sending it at too. It's probably

786
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: gonna be way over, I think, I I will I

787
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: will go. I'll go over because there's just an insane

788
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: amount of media out there. And again I think it's

789
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: like this, maybe the last time you get a Super

790
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: Bowl thing piece on Ernie Adams probably will just be

791
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: next year, probably be next year. But I'm gonna gonna go.

792
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go under just based on just to get

793
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots fans all right up. I noticed at the

794
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: NFL dot com planning it's like there's a lot more

795
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: enthusiasm to write about the Eagles. Feels like a lot

796
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: more Eagles content coming because everyone's tired to write about

797
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: the pay Can you write about the paths? And that

798
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: actually to me trends toward writing about Ernie Adams something different. Yeah,

799
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna write three Ernie Adams. I'm going I'm going, alright, Mark,

800
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: you're up, all right. A lot of I've already heard

801
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: a lot of bitching about the weather from me, but

802
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: from others. To a lot of people, I think there's

803
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: just a general concern about what it is that we're

804
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: flying into. So mine is a weather based one and

805
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: it's the combined tally of how many times the Around

806
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast crew, the four of Us and Colleen,

807
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: complains about the weather during Super Bowl week in Minnesota.

808
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: This includes nitpicks about dangerously low temperatures, wind chill, wind,

809
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: gus snowfall, piles of snow on the ground, snow fields,

810
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: freezing rain, sleet, stepping in arctic puddles, getting splashed with

811
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: waves of freezing water, the result of passing cars on

812
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: the street. This also includes complaints about slipping on icy stairs,

813
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 1: slamming one's skull into the godless concrete after a perilous

814
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: fall on the sidewalk, being hit with snowballs by snickering passers,

815
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: by being mocked by children in school busses. Is your

816
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: work papers blow away in the wind. This includes bemoaning

817
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: one's lack of proper footwear, verbally wishing one was tucked

818
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 1: away in a desert island, bitching about your left foot

819
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 1: being wet after stepping into a small stream of gushing

820
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: wastewater at the corner of Ginger and Oxygon streets. This

821
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: includes telling everyone around you that you don't believe in

822
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: the scarf is a fashion statement, but wished you would

823
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: actually purchase winter where before flying from Los Angeles, complaining

824
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: about an uber that's outrageously two minutes away and kind

825
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: of doing that thing where it spins around on the street,

826
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: kind of lost on the app while your lips turned

827
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: purple blue in a North American wilderness bitten by temperatures

828
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: just a tad below springtime on Mars, putting the over

829
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: under a well, that just what you just described some

830
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: like a morning with Mark Sessler. That's Tuesday morning. Will

831
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: I be the only one complaining here? And then at

832
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: first I was gonna ask does this count on air?

833
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: But now I realized it's everything. It's everything. I'm not

834
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: on the podcast because we should be. It's no, it's

835
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: when we're walking to and from because we should have

836
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: a rule like not saying the words super Bowl that

837
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: we're not allowed to say any of that even once

838
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 1: that affects my under by penalty, but speak free off fair.

839
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen a lot. I'm gonna go over. I'm

840
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: gonna go over. I might complain a hundred ten times myself.

841
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm all skinning bones. I get cold. If if a

842
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: breeze blows through his podcast studio, I mean, I famously

843
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: have been called the strong and silent type. So that's true.

844
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it under you know, you just deal

845
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: with it. And so you guys are being I'm actually

846
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: checking the weather. It might be unseasonably warm. You don't know,

847
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: Let's say it might. Let's see the highs. Oh, the

848
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: high on Monday is fifteen oh five. But here's the

849
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: good news. It's gonna be sunny. I hate sun in

850
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: that weather. These are the highs fifteen thirty three, twelve nine.

851
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a high of nine negatives in here

852
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: for some blows. Yeah there negative, here's one and super

853
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday eleven degrees. It is a lot of tunnels

854
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: in and walkway. Are you kidding me? Were already complaining

855
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: over over over. I just want to die. We're staying out.

856
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: We one underrated factor is we're staying out near where

857
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: all the press conferences are, where Radio Row is, the

858
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: Mall of America. We're basically, I'm gonna have a feeling,

859
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: I have a feeling only gonna go between our small

860
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: hotel t J Fridays and this mall, which are all

861
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: within about a hundred feet of each other. So we

862
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: might add, and yet, and yet at the combine, when

863
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: you're only asked to cross one street to get from

864
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: the Indie Downtown Indie Tunnel system connected to our hotel

865
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: and Lucas Oil Stadium, NonStop complaints for that eight seconds

866
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: that it takes to cross the street. NonStop complaining from

867
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: human beings. I need, I need some input from the

868
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: listeners on this one. You have mentioned that it would

869
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: be a good Mark has mentioned that it would be

870
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: a good idea to wear boots or to bring boots.

871
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: I asked someone from Minnesota downstairs Brook or she's from

872
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: north to the Dakotas and Minnesota all the stuff. She said,

873
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, she went out and she did. She didn't

874
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: she is an l A person. She went out and

875
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: bought a low level pair of boots. I'm doing the

876
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: same nice little boot talk in the pod like a

877
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: total hot foot, like wet shoes. Speaking of it on

878
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: the Ground podcast, speaking of what Greg was referencing, I'll

879
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: throw out another one number of drinks ingested by the

880
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast team, including Kevin Patra Who's gonna

00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna set the over under at ninety nine and

886
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: a half for the entire week. Now let me put

887
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: in how did I come to this figure? Greg is

888
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: not gonna throw back a ton of drinks West, This

889
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: is not previous. West is West on the mend diminished capacity.

890
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 1: I'm putting West kind of in the Greg terrace. Come on,

891
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,160

892
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: you know, a night not as insulting. I apologized. I'm

896
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: think that you and I will probably be in the

897
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: dim territory that seems incredibly low. I'm gonna go over that.

898
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: Pat tat Patrol will be helped. He'll be helping. This

899
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: one so added up though, and remember this is specifically

900
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: at the t g I. Fridays could be other locations

901
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: where we imbibe, but in the Friday's when planning to time,

902
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: I may go under because you're talking about like at

903
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: least three or four of us having to knock off

904
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: like five plus a night, which I mean for yourself.

905
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend the whole time at T J. Friday's.

906
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: The mall is right there, and there's a million places

907
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: right there where we're fine, right, well, we're gonna be

908
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 1: at the Friday's. Greg, I don't understand what I'm gonna

909
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: go sit in the food court with the other they got,

910
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: they got, this mall's got everything. This uh, this Friday

911
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,959
Speaker 1: only thing, Friday's the only thing adds like a David

912
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: Lynch layer of complex city to the interesting. I might

913
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: go under two because if it's only Fridays, and also,

914
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: you like, there's at least a ten percent chance that

915
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: we you just don't like that Friday's and decide to

916
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: bag it for the home. But we've done we've done

917
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: some yell research and now it's it's it seems very

918
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: very run of the mill, and it's gonna be just

919
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: like every other Friday's. This could also like vault up

920
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: to a hundred and fifty. It easily could. It could

921
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: we could find it to be. And this is how

922
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: I picture it in my mind as an optimist, like

923
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna feel like our cheers. What if you get

924
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: in there and it's, hey, we already are we already

925
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: friends with some waiters and waitresses there are, yeah, and

926
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: it's like it's our place. Yes, I'll have a ninth

927
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: this suddenly you know it's Friday's is getting more free

928
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 1: pub and Head and Shoulders has all seasons. I'm taking

929
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 1: over our team to Uh No, I don't have her

930
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 1: on this just because she's gonna be staying down talent.

931
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, she's true talent. So she might at some

932
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: point end up with us, but I don't want to.

933
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't see her. I don't see her going to Fridays.

934
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: But she's she's not gonna with the unwashed masses where

935
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,760
Speaker 1: we are. All right. I had an alcohol and related too,

936
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: but I will I will save it. You know, if

937
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: you want to keep it rolling, I'll I'll package it quickly.

938
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: We don't need to discuss it at length. It's it's

939
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: a little bit of a one team versus the other?

940
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: Are these do you have your little highlights on the text?

941
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: Just on the Mark Show three months away from being canceled,

942
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: the number of alcoholic drinks Dan and Mark consume in

943
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: minus those imbibed by Wes Lindsey, Fulton, Greg NFL Media's

944
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: Mark Brady, a shadowy figure, and Kevin Patra. I'm putting

945
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: the over under at twenty, so that would be what

946
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: Dan and I do minus Yes, the rest who are

947
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: the name The others are Wes Lindsay faulton you, Greg You,

948
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: NFL Media's Mark Brady, and Kevin Patrick. So you add

949
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: it all up like that, I'm gonna go under because

950
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna count on Patra actually beating both of you.

951
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: So then I mean the individual, he's the winner of

952
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: that whole group, and then you have the rest of us.

953
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: We just have to be within twenty of the other one.

954
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: So I like that. I like this one. I'm going on.

955
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: This is running circles around my mind. Yeah, I can't

956
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: even get involved with it. So I just well, all

957
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: you need to know is if you want to win,

958
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: you need to keenness NonStop. Well I'm you win. This

959
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: is why some of these prop bets are are trouble.

960
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: You know, in Vegas you can get some soft lines.

961
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: They like to say, I think something real wise, guys

962
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: are gonna hammer this one and Mark's going to be

963
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: cleaned out? Are we actually betting money? Okay, I'm a

964
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: real wild card here. I think bodies feeling night and day.

965
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: I kept up with Mark the other night at it

966
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: at the at the Whaler. I don't I don't know.

Speaker 1: explain to uh my wife Simone that I was going

972
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: out to meet someone named Rhodo Pat and then it

973
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 1: wasn't like it took a little bit of explaining, but

974
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: my invite got lost in the mail again. No, I

975

977
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,560

978
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,239

Speaker 1: West is available. Like I wonder what he's talking about.

987
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't worry about it. Oh No, it wasn't like

988
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: a nice thing to do. I would say it wasn't

989
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: on purpose. It wasn't on purpose, not a purpose. It

990
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: wasn't a thoughtful thing. Interesting, I'll give you that. Not thoughtful. Yeah,

991
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: I would say you probably nailed that. All right, who's next.

992
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: I hope you guys had fun though I was out

993
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,000

994
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: let's be serious. I never invited to anything. Yeah, okay,

995
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: so at least I wasn't totally alone, just on this

996
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: side of the glass. Well, it certainly wasn't a large

997
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: party that you weren't invited to. I didn't invite you,

998
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,959
Speaker 1: by the way, I wasn't really your I appreciated it. Okay,

999
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily like your just everyone's always invited all

1000
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: the time. That's what I assumed. I've never invited to anything,

1001
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,959
Speaker 1: because you just assume I don't. I'm not gonna go Okay, Greg,

1002
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: you're invited to it wasn't it was a forgotten How

1003
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: about this, it'st but noted that it's not forgotten. That's

1004
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: w Greg. You go ahead. Well it'll really go ahead, friend,

1005
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: it will really come back to hot me like in

1006
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 1: seven years the next time I planned something. All right,

1007
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: so you planned something once every seven invited. We were

1008
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 1: supposed to go out late night, and then that didn't happen.

1009
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: It changed, Greg, I would quickly get to your over

1010
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: under you reached out to Mark. Mark I saw on

1011
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: the way out and it came up. You know, I

1012
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not really much of a planner like that.

1013
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: I have no no shame. Okay, go ahead. But over

1014
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: here I was I was wondering if it was going

1015
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: to come up, and you know it, once it came up,

1016
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: I figured it might as well. Yeah, but it would

1017
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: have all been a matter of time was going to

1018
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: come up. It definitely occurred. It definitely occurred to me

1019
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: as I like left that eveden and to be clear,

1020
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: and I told West because West actually he read the

1021
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: tea leaves and he texted me that night and it's like, hey, buddy,

1022
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: you're just giving your heads up. You know, sorry that

1023
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: you know you didn't really get invited, but give me

1024
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: a break. Well, then he should have invited and the

1025
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: West this thing as much as anyone. And then I replied,

1026
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 1: I just got turned onto the bus. And then I replied,

1027
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I wasn't gonna. I wouldn't have

1028
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: gone anyway, is true, because I had some dad stuff

1029
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: to do. But you know, it would have been nice

1030
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: to be invited. Yeah, I mean, even if you can't go,

1031
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,919
Speaker 1: it would be nice to know that you were seen

1032
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: as part of the group. Were you happy to be invited?

1033
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: I was. I was excited to meet Evan in Rhodo Path.

1034
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: I would have loved to meet them too, or at

1035
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: least that the option they delivered on they delivered for

1036
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: They asked you about you many times. I will give

1037
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: you that they did ask about you, all right? The

1038
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: good thing? Yeah, where is? Where is? Sir? It's a

1039
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: good thing. I'm not as sensitive as this or else.

1040
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: Think of all the things I would hold against you,

1041
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: all right, So I'm about a million different things. It's

1042
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: a fair point, all right, over under, Greg, you want

1043
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: to sounds like a hard pivot to Nick Foles is

1044
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: over under interception. I would suggest you wanted to half

1045
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: its one and a half turnover, Like, Dan's not the

1046
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: only one who's noted things over the years. Want and

1047
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: a half turnovers for Nick Foles? That's the question. I

1048
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: feel like the show is over in some ways it is.

1049
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm in go under one and a half turnovers on

1050
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Sunday, remaining around the NFL podcast left in

1051
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: this world because I think he's gonna have a fumble,

1052
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: but he's they're gonna recover it. Mark's really trying to

1053
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,439
Speaker 1: push remembers members on this podcast by this show next year.

1054
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: One and a half over us, um, I will take

1055
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: the over. I believe Nick Foles will suck in the

1056
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'll save most of my analysis for the

1057
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: game for the week. But that's what I feel. Okay,

1058

1063
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: He's playing a much easier defense this week and he

1064
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: did last week. Yeah, not quite as easy as the

1065
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: Raiders defense, in which he was like over fourteen on

1066
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: third downs. That game's ancient history, right, What do you

1071
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: I will do. I mean in terms of it, like

1072
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,520

1081
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: One sounds good like a one organized one. Well, because

1082
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: think it's easier to just to do. We don't have

1083
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,879
Speaker 1: a lot of free nights. When would this we would

Speaker 1: It was was it Friday? The other time it was Friday.

1086
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: We can't write outsource the planning to someone else. Well,

1087
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: that's part of the I would say, yeah, in them

1088
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: all of America maybe somewhere, how about that that'd be crazy.

1089
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, it doesn't seem want to Friday's

1090
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,919
Speaker 1: is are on cleave. It's are like that at place.

1091
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go under because Hands has said We're

00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: never doing that again after the last that I've gone.

1093
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: I did not say that. I did not say that

1094
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: was a little overwhelming the first time, but it was

1095
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: great to see the fans. And since West put it

1096
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,400

Speaker 1: here we go still it, Greg? You did say that, though?

1098
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: Why you saying he didn't say that? I love the

1099
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: bombs thrown back and you're invited. I mean I was

1100
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: pretty much on that side of things. This is all

1101
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,840

00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: The number of Erica generated justin Timberlake related tweets plus

1109
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: the number of times Erica tweets her beloved Amy Schumer

1110
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:12,480

1111
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,000

1115
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: where she mentions m a VP. Now, for clarity's sake,

1116
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: this over under account begins Monday morning and it concludes

1117
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: one hour after the one hour after the super Bowl

1118
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: to get her little bragging and if they win and

1119
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: all that business or her I outrageous anger. Moreover, these

1120
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: are tweets coming from her official work Twitter account at

1121
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:47,360

1123
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: if you follow Eric on Twitter, you know it's crazy.

1124
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: And she tweets dozens of times during any Patriot game,

1125
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: so the super Bowl unless she's busy, but I misagine

1126
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: she will be. Actually now I'm thinking about what what

1127
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: she'd probably doing during the game. Maybe she would have

1128
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: some type of work to do. But I think I'm

1129
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: gonna say over. I think she's gonna be going nuts

1130
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter because she's also gonna seize the moment. She

1131
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: likes that the show is uh kind of helped to

1132
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: build a Erica fan base, and she's gonna lean into

1133
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: that on Super Bowl Sunday and go nuts with her

1134
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: geof analysis. I think there might be fifty seven geoffs

01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: Kingdom Lodge, didn't night Disney resort, far away from the players.

1177
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: You know, I used to be back because Patrick, you've

1178
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: covered a bunch of these going back to the Hawaii days,

1179
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 1: in the good old days that actually put you in

1180
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: the hotel with the players and you'd be sharing pool

1181
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: time and Daker's and talking books with Brown centers. Alex

1182
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: Mack he was saying it, yeah, but now they kind

1183
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: of they is it because of our humble NFL media? Uh?

1184
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: Leaning over the network. What about network talent. They heard

1185
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: about my my discussion with Alex Mac last time, and

1186
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: they wanted to keep all of that to the minimum.

1187
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure they don't want any book talk going on.

1188
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I mean James later, the wonderful James

1189
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: player from nmfo UM network is up at the Player

1190
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: hotel and getting to go to the all the after

1191
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: our events. Haven't they put up me out here in

1192
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: the boondocks? I'm sure if Gregg had come in my spot,

1193
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: he's probably wounding with Jalen Jalen Ramsey. So I'd rather

1194
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: be with the drafts that. It actually sounds like a

1195
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: pretty good spot. You should have like went in Jane

1196
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: Slater's luggage. Just anything can get you into the hotel.

1197
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: That sounds creepy. I don't know if that's the policy

1198
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: new policy about that sort of thing. Damn. Yeah, that's

1199
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: a good point. keV uh. So what is what has

1200
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: been the scene there? I know you so you've been

1201
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: covering the practices like take us through if if someone

1202
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: has never really known how it works to cover a

1203
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, like what are you doing over there? Basically?

1204
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, guys are just having fun mostly goofing off.

1205
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,959
Speaker 1: I mean the most entertaining thing is Sean Payton hired

1206
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees Stunts as ball boys. So you got these

1207
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: like three little runts running around like two ft tall,

1208
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: around mammoths like uh, you know, Jared Goff and such,

1209
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: just switching out the balls. And most of the time

1210
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: they're just having fun. You know, they talk about getting

1211
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: the terminality, you right, but most of the time the

1212
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 1: players are just messing around with each other, gagging on

1213
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: each other, and it only laughs for about forty five

1214
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: minutes and then they sign autographs. We talked to him,

1215
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: We chat with the players that sort of stuff. It

1216
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 1: seems problematic if like collect Aossemile steam rolls Drew Brees

1217
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: six year old son, like that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

1218
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 1: One would take so today if practice. Actually it's funny

1219
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: like two of the kids that got into wrestling match

1220
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: you all brothers, do you know, one of the older

1221
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: ones like half the other one in the headlock, and

1222
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 1: they start like almost rolling toward towards the players that

1223
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 1: are you know, they're not a antentional They just took

1224
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: the snap through the faith back and like Sean Payton

1225
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: went in and swooped them back and like yanked them

1226
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: backwards before they got ran over. Are there any players

1227
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: there like being around these guys that I don't know

1228
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: if it's either their physique, like their makeup, or their

1229
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: personality that you completely changed your opinion of one of

1230
01:04:53,960 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: these uh so called stars um physique. Johnny Hecker is

1231
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: a huge man for a puncher. Bottles we were we

1232
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: had the same thing. We were on the field at

1233
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 1: the end of the game, and as he was jogging

1234
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: to the tunnel, it was remarkable what a beast he was. Yes,

1235
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: he's huge. Andrew Whitworth is another ginormous man along with

1236
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: Joe Staley, I mean the offensive lineman and the defensive line.

1237
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: We always strike me as because you know, you know,

1238
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,280

1266
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: that some of the higher profile wide receiver is gonna

1267
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: sit out pump returner and scoring touchdown as a wide receiver.
