Speaker 1: fanboy number one and Steph Curry got my kids Steph

Speaker 1: Curry jerseys when they were young. I think they might

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: have grown out of them by now, but that just

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: means I gotta get new ones. Uh. We went to

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,800

Speaker 1: biggest news of the season. And I mean, listen, it's

Speaker 1: Korea is in the family, so to speak. Um, Before

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: I mentioned our guest, I will just tell the Steph

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: Curry story how I became such a big fan. Obviously

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: everybody loved him at Davidson and I start, you know,

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: I run the Big Lead back in the day, and

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: I decide, I think like two thousand ten, two nine,

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: that I'm going to do a podcast. And I was like,

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: I gotta get a splashy first guest, because podcast we're

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: not big a decade ago. Okay, they just weren't. And

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: I knew a guy, his name is Bill. He had

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: been in TV in the Charlotte area when Steph Curry

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: was Davidson. Got to know him a little bit. Got

35
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: to know Steph Curry is like circle and he didn't

36
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: have a huge circle of Davidson. Yeah, it was a

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: budding star, but it's Dave Vison, it's the baby face Assassin.

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: And this guy Bill, I got to know about social media.

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: He liked the Big Lead whatever, and I was just

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: raving about Curry when he started out with the Warriors,

41
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: but he kept getting hurt, and you know, I struck

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: up a friendship with Bill and eventually I tell him, Hey,

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: I'm having a podcast, Like do you think I could

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: get couriers against He's like, yeah, I think I would

45
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: make that happen again. Curry early years, remember he was

46
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: like second Banana a monte Ellis, and he had the

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: ankle injuries. And if you guys remember after his room,

48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: his rookie deal was nearly done and he was not

49
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: going to get the full big money deal that you

50
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: get after your rookie deal when you're a top ten

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: pick because he had the ankle injuries and there was

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: uncertainty whether could this guy's frail body hold up. And

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: so right before he signed his deal, I I get

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: him on the podcast and I haven't saved somewhere on

55
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: one of my old computers. And it's just pretty crazy that,

56
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: like Steph Curry was willing to get on the phone

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: with me, a guy who ran a blog for like

58
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: twenty minutes and chop up the NBA and his situation

59
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: and the injuries and the contracts and Golden State and

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It was like just crazy, and I

61
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: was like, that's pretty cool. This guy. I mean, it

62
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: was just awesome. And of course fast forward twenty I

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: guess right before COVID twenty nineteen. Yeah, Curry had gotten

64
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: hurt that season, right after they the Warrior the Warriors

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: Raptors finals, which I don't even like to say when

66
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: the Raptors won the title, because we all know, come on,

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: if Durant and Claire healthy, they're not winning the title. Um.

68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: Toronto fans hate me for saying that, but it's true.

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: Curry gets the hand surgery out down here in l

70
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: A and he comes to see his hand guy, you know,

71
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: and he's doing some rehab and he ends up going

72
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: to this gym that is the old Clippers facility, which

73
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: is right near where I live, and that's the gym

74
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: I go to. So I'll never forget. We're having the

75
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: my son's third grade draft, you know, they have a

76
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: draft of the kids, and I start getting text from friends. Dude, Steph,

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: Curry's in our gym right now. I'm like, what, Oh,

78
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: that stinks. I'm not there that you know. But we

79
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: had a standing game every I think the draft was

80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: are like a Wednesday. Every Thursday morning, we had a

81
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: standing game. So the next morning I go into the gym.

82
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: We're playing pick up and I, you know, I play

83
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: like three or four games whatever, and I just I'm like,

84
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: I gotta go, guys. I walk out the doors of

85
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: the basketball courts, turn right, and I look up and

86
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: there's this pretty tall guy in front of me. I'm like,

87
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: that guy looks like an NBA player. And within like

88
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: three seconds, I was like, oh, ship, that's Steph Curry.

89
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: He's like right in front of me. So I'm I'm

90
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: not gonna like this. I got here with brutal, honest

91
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: you guys, so I'll be honest Steph Curry standing look

92
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: in front of me. He's got these two guys to

93
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: the side there walking slow and you can see the

94
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: gravity of all the people like working out are looking like, oh,

95
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: it's like moms and dad's and old people. Everybody knows

96
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: Steph Curry at this time nine okay, And I start

97
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: to get a little bit nervous, like, oh, what's what's

98
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: my What do I open with? What do I lead with?

99
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: And I said, you know what, I'm just gonna bring

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: up the guy who introduced us and how I was

101
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: on the pod. So I wait, and of course, as

102
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: I'm about ready to go in some mom steps and

103
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, can I get his picture for my sons.

104
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Curry's like sure, no problem. So I kind of hanging back.

105
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm like cheese. He's all these people are just gonna

106
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: keep coming up up and I have no shot. So

107
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: I just jump in, Hey, Steph, you probably don't remember me.

108
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: That was what I opened with, you know. And then

109
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: he turns and then I explained, and he's like oh yeah.

110
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: And of course these with these guys say you know,

111
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: they all are like oh yeah, I know, I know

112
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: who you are. And of course I kind of drop

113
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: a little flex like, oh yeah, I'm on FS one.

114
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: You know the shows talk about n B A and

115
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: UH with Calherd and Skip Bayless and all these guys.

116
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't technically been on uh set with

117
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Skip Payless. You know, he's a big face at the

118
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: network at any rate. Curry super friendly. We talk. I mentioned, hey,

119
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: you guys could get nice. He's like, yeah, you know,

120
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: your honest could be a free This was twenty nineteen

121
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: and we got a photo. Um, it was just it

122
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Man. Uh, He's just a super nice guy.

123
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: You gotta really respect the worked at the guys put

124
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: in under size. He's an under the room player. He

125
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: really made the three point or what it is now.

126
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: I know a lot of guys have shot threes. I

127
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: get it, Um, nobody was shooting thirty ft threes with

128
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: the regularity and the accuracy that Curry was. And just

129
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: to see him succeed like this is awesome. I think

130
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: he's uh, pretty much, what do we third of the

131
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: way through the season a little more. He's definitely the

132
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: leader for m v P this year. There's not I

133
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: don't even think there's a close second. Ki has been good,

134
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: Janice has been good. Durrants on fire right now. If

135
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: there's nobody close second to Curry and they're running away

136
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: with the West, I mean, yes, other injuries happened, somebody

137
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: could make a run, you know with Lakers, Peole off

138
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: twenty in a row, Lebron sentimental, he's thirty seven, all

139
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: that stuff. But Curry wins the MVP and if he's

140
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: able to get another title, he's now would have four titles.

141
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: He would have three MVP awards. And I know, I listen,

142
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: I was the first guy in twenty and team to

143
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: say Curry's the second best point guard in NBA history,

144
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: and all these people came after me. No, Jake, come on,

145
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: Jason Kid, Isaiah Thomas, Oscar robertson all the other thing. Nope, Nope, nope, nope, nope.

146
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Steve Nash is really good. Nope. Curry is definitely number two.

147
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: And I'm just telling you there's an outside chance Warriors

148
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: play their cards, right, Curry doing this at his age, Like,

149
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: why does he have to go anywhere? Why can't he

150
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: stay at or near the top of the league. I

151
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: know that the Denver Nuggets are down, and Jamal Burry's

152
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna get healthy, and um Clippers are gonna get Kauai back,

153
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: and Jason, you're being prettymature. Fine, I'm just saying, at

154
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: this juncture, it's not out of the realm that Curry

155
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: ends up as like a top ten player all time.

156
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: That is not a crazy thought, right we most of

157
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: us would put Durant on the doorstep of top ten,

158
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 1: if not already top ten. Curry is certainly top twenty,

159
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: and I think he's ceiling. I think he can get

160
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: in the top ten. Yeah, he's gotta again, he's gotta.

161
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: He needs a couple of more MVP awards. UM needs

162
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: at least one more title. But Curry's on the path

163
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: and it's easy to root for the guy. I don't

164
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: know anybody who doesn't like Curry outside of like Chris

165
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: paul Um. Even Lebron seems to have come around. And

166
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: remember Lebron was not thrilled. And again Lebron will deny

167
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: this all he wants, but it was this is definitely true.

168
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: Lebron wasn't thrilled. That's Steph. Curry crabbed Kevin Durant and

169
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: the year after Lebron won the title in Cleveland and

170
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: they took over the NBA when when it was Lebron's

171
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: Lebron went back to Cleveland, the story Cleveland, all that stuff,

172
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: taken down the seventy three win Warriors, and they get Durant.

173
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: It's like she's is Lebron gonna win another title? So

174
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: then Lebron now doesn't care because he goes lakers of

175
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: win the title. Um, but it's just I just I'm

176
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: a big NBA guys, you can tell. But we have

177
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: a great guest on the pod today and I've known

178
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: him for about twenty years. His name is Brian Costello.

179
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: Covers the Jets. Jets J. E. T. S for The

180
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: New York Post. Good guy, good reporter. I'm just gonna

181
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: say this, even if you don't care about the Jets

182
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: or the bills of the Patriots, because we talk a

183
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: f C East stick until the end, because we talk

184
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: about journalism, and I make it clear, I'm not thrilled

185
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: with a lot of the beat writer's coverage of the

186
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: Jets because excuse negative, because that's what clicks, and that

187
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: sort of retweets, and that kind of sucks in this era.

188
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: It's like you gotta skew negative to to get the

189
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: stories out there. And he largely agreed that that does happen.

190
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: He tries to avoid and he's usually above the fray.

191
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: He's not as bad as some others who I will

192
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: not name here yet. If it keeps up, I I may, Um,

193
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: if you look closely on social media, I have going

194
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: kind of sort of after these people at times, not

195
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: hard because I mean I know them, not on like

196
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: a text message basis or like friendships or anything, but

197
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: I know them their work. Um, it's just easy to

198
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: get negative with the Jets. Um. So we talked about that. Listen.

199
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go too deep in the COVID stuff.

200
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: It is. Nobody wants to hear um crappy news that

201
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: a hundred NBA and NFL players in the last two

202
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: days or in COVID protocols Like, nobody wants to hear

203
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: that crap. You know, it's frustrating, it's annoying. You know,

204
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys had the VACS, A lot

205
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: of these guys had the booster and they're asymptomatic. And

206
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: I just wonder, sixteen months into this, do we need

207
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: to maybe change the rules on how long you need

208
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: to be out. If you're asymptomatic, you've got the VACS

209
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: and you're boostered, why would you have to miss a

210
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: game like four days from now? Can we at least

211
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: ask the epidemiologists and the infectious disease experts what they think.

212
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, things have changed. If you've done your part,

213
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: get in the VATS and the booster, I don't see

214
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: why you shouldn't be able to play. I yeah, I'm

215
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: not going to tell this story, but I gotta run

216
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: that one by the wife before I put it out there. Um,

217
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: if you're vaccinated and boosted and you're doing your part,

218
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: you should be okay to play. Right, I mean, and

219
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: if if I'm wrong, fine, show me the the infectious

220
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: disease experts, not these Yahoo idiots on social media who

221
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: have doctor in their titles so they're just putting ship

222
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: out there. I don't care about their stats. Some guys

223
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: on Instagram send me a bunch of junk and then

224
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: you scroll down and you're like, huh, what is this website? Oh,

225
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: this is some random guy operating a website. Well who's

226
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: this guy? Who the hell is he? And like anybody

227
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: can do that, that's fine. I'm a traditionalist. I want

228
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: to go to the experts. I want to know what

229
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: the people who have been studying infectious diseases and epidemiology

230
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: for decades. I want to know what they think about this.

231
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: And again, there's a new uh oh maicron that's all

232
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: this all new, So I don't even know that they know.

233
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: And everybody wants to air on the side of safety.

234
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: But geez, you're gonna kind of ruin the NFL season. NBA,

235
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: they canceled the game last night, Bulls game got canceled,

236
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: Bulls Pistons. I mean, who know who the hell knows

237
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: what games are getting canceled tonight? I don't know. It's frustrating,

238
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: but it's one which is nearly over all. Right, without

239
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: further ado, let's get to uh my guest, Brian Costell

Speaker 1: it comes to sports. I know what sports dance want,

246
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,520

250
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: mean I think it's about twenty five years maybe. Brian Costello,

251
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: New York posted are we dating ourselves? Now? Do? Are

252
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: we showing our ages? Brian? Goodness gracious, I don't realize it. Ye,

253
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: maybe not twenty five maybe, like so, because I was

254
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: I graduate college and so that's when I went to Virginia. Yeah.

255
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: So I was at James Madison and Brian is covering

256
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: j m U for the local paper. And then I

257
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: had like an internship and I'll never forget like kind

258
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: of going at it with Brian over the quarterback situation. Uh,

259
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback who ended up being an offensive coordinator for

260
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: a minute in the NFL, right, de Filippo. Yeah, yeah,

261
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: he's still he's a quarterback coach of the Bears. Now,

262
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: oh yeah we talked lately or though. But yeah, it

263
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: felt like he was like on the rise there for

264
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: a minute and then it kind of fell apart with

265
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: some of the teams he was on. But yeah, I've

266
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: known Brian. Listen and Brian. You don't have to poo

267
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: poo this at all, but Brian was one of those

268
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: like dogged reporters, the guys who were real reporters. I'm sorry, folks,

269
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: but right now in the NFL, UM and NBA, a

270
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: lot of it's just handouts. Brian. You know that. It's like, hey,

271
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: you can report this, here you go. But back in

272
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: the day, you had to do the legwork, right, Brian,

273
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: And that's how I know you, and I know he's

274
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: a great reporter. He's covering the Jets, which is makes

275
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: it life a little tough. Yeah, especially in these times, Jason.

276
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: That's even offer with COVID, you know, with no locker

277
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: room has been brutal to just kind of have the

278
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: feel of the team and that kind of stuff. You know,

279
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: it's like you're not having those you know, little conversations

280
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: off to the side. You can't have those anymore, um,

281
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know if we'll ever get them back.

282
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: So that you haven't been in the locker room once. No,

283
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: the locker room has been closed for two years now.

284
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: So this year where this year we have in person interviews,

285
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: but it's press conference style, so they bring it out

286
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: the podium, you know, but there's no sil enough to

287
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: a guy's locker and just kind of finding out what's

288
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: going on for real right now. And it's tough with

289
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: a team like the Jets because um, players come and

290
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: go pretty quickly. Not you know, it's not like a

291
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: team like the Chiefs, where if I covered the Chiefs,

292
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: there's probably some guys in that locker room that I

293
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: got to know in two thousand, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen nine,

294
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: I could have a strong relationship with. With the Jets,

295
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: there's hardly anyone left from two thousand nineteen. I'm me, Wow,

296
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was that bleak. Now Brian's covered

297
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: the team for about a decade, but he he was

298
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: covering I guess the Yankees when when Mark Sanchez and

299
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan were going to an f C title games

300
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: back to back, which feels still like yesterday. I can

301
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: remember the playoff losses, but it was about a decade ago, right,

302
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: it's eleven eleven years ago. Now the drought is eleven

303
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: years like just they got officially eliminated on Sunday, which

304
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: is always you know, uh, Marker, you know you you

305
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: always know by by Halloween the Jets are not going

306
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. But you have to wait till that

307
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: December lost this out there officially eliminated. Gosh, the negativity begins,

308
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: all right. So first of all, I'm not listened. The

309
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: Jets are my team. I love them, you know, were

310
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: jet skier and stuff. Um, but I'm not gonna just

311
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: talk about the Jets. He covers the n of the

312
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: a f C East, obviously sees the Patriots bills. We'll

313
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: get into that, but I need to just get some

314
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: Jets crap off my chest. Brian. Um. First of all, um,

315
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: I meet you, and we're not done this season. Robert Salah,

316
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: what is your grade for him? As we head into

317
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: to Week fifteen in the NFL, the Jets have had

318
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: a couple of okay wins, but by and large it

319
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: has been a massive ship show and a lot of

320
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: Jets fans are already angry. They want a new coach,

321
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: they want a new quarterback. I'm curious where you're grading uh,

322
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: the new guy? I probably sala c plus probably like

323
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: the players staying Jason. This is what is driving me

324
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: crazy because every coach who comes in here, this guy

325
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: is terrible because they know how many players the last

326
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: like you know, Top Bowles. Look what Top Bawles did

327
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: up some players in Tampa Bay. He's all of a

328
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: sudden he's a good coach. Again, if you put Adam

329
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: Gaze with with the Rams offense, he looked like a

330
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: coach like that. That's how I don't know about. That's

331
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: a stretch out of Gaze. He was the coordinator for

332
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: the number one scoring offense. And the history are you say,

333
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: are your pet Manning? Exactly Manning? That's what coo. So

334
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: like this idea that like it's all coaching drives me batty.

335
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: But like I think, I think the coach that the

336
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: players have been the roster is terrible, so start there,

337
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: or he was handed a tough roster at the beginning

338
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: of the rebuild. I think his messaging has been good.

339
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: I think he has a vision for the team, which

340
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: the last few guys have not really been able to express,

341
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: like what they wanted Rex Ryan's the last guy I

342
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: remember who was kind of like, this is what I

343
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: want this team to look like. So I has kind

344
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: of been like that where I'll knock him down. Jason

345
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: is the defense, which was supposed to be his calling card,

346
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: and they granted, like I just said, they do not

347
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of good players, but that that stretch

348
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: of fifty four, there's no excuse for that, Like that's

349
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: just that's just brutal, Like he could not stop the

350
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: bleeding during that time. Um, So I've been I marked

351
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: him down with how the defense has performed, because I

352
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: don't expect them to be the two thousand Ravens, but

353
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: they've got to be a little bit better than what

354
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: they've been. I like how you said they're starting a rebuild, Brian,

355
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: didn't did that happen like three years ago when they

356
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: got Sam Donald? Like every three years. Yeah, I mean

357
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: like since I've been kind of the team. They started

358
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: rebuilding in two thousand, right, they tore everything down and

359
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: they did in two thousand and fifteen, they did the

360
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: quick fix rebuild of like let's get Rebus and Brandon

361
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: Marshall and you know, yeah, they traded with Fits. Fitz

362
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: wasn't Fitz was an accident when Gino broke his jaw,

363
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: Fit's got to play like that wasn't their plan to play. Well,

364
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: let's say, let's remind people Gino got his job broken

365
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: by a teammate at practice right, a linebacker right now.

366
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: So that so that was another rebuild. So then and

367
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: then they kept that going for another year. Then they

368
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: tore down in seventeen completely draft Salem in eighteen. That

369
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: was another rebuild. Two thousand nineteen they spent some money

370
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: on Levy, on Bell and C. J. Mosley. Then now

371
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: you know it's another rebuild again with Slid coming in

372
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: Um and Joe Douglas. So it's yeah, it's it's been

373
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: a It's like Jason I liken it too. I'm sure

374
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: there's somewhere out where you live where there's a road

375
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: that there's been construction on, like just always construction. You're like, what, like,

376
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: why is this road all one lane, and like, when

377
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: is this construction ever going to be done? That? Um, well,

378
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: at least they have Quinnin Williams, right. I mean he's

379
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: playing well, everyone was playing well. Now he heard his

380
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: shoulder Sunday, so I'm fact if he'll be down the stretch.

381
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: But yeah, now he's They've got some good They've got

382
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: a few good players to build around. Quinny Franklin Myers.

383
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,239
Speaker 1: Franklin Myers, Okay, and I'm not sure I put him

384
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: in the same correy of the category as Quinnin. He's no, no,

385
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: but he's having a good season. Um. Elijah More, you know,

386
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: he showed a lot of promise, but now he's hurt.

387
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: Um a lot of promise. Michael Carter the running back.

388
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: I think he's a keeper, a taker. The guard has

389
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: played well. So they do have some young players. They

390
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: just they just really need to add to this, you know,

391
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: mix this offseason. I'm curious how how long should Jets

392
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: fans expect this we built to take? Like, if the

393
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: question is they don't have any good players, should the

394
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: guy who has been overseeing the rebuild since Zick left,

395
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: should he be the one drafting for Seattle? Not since

396
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: Inzi left. He's only it's mcmccagnan was in there. You forget,

397
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: I forgot about mccagnets. H Douglas, Douglas is. It's kind

398
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: of Douglas is a weird timeline because he was hired

399
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: in June of two thou So I remember there was

400
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: the coupe to fire mccagnet and they brought Douglas and

401
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: in JUNI two thousand nineteen, so that that year was

402
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: basically not his team. UM, and then you know he

403
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: had he's had two drafts to free agent classes. His

404
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty drafts, it does not look good.

405
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: Bryce Hall is pretty good the cornerback. That's about it

406
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: backed into question mark. Um. The rest of that has

407
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: been a disaster. This year's draft looks pretty good, but

408
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: it's all going to be defined by the quarterback and

409
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: how he does. I don't think you can fire Joe

410
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: Douglas right now anything like that. I think you need

411
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: to give him this offseason. He's done a good job

412
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: of getting draft capital for players that he had to trade,

413
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: like Jamal Adams. That trade looks really good. The two

414
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: first round picks for the first safety, uh, they you

415
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: know something and the Seahawks have not been good this year,

416
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: so the Jets potentially have two top ten picks in

417
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: the draft and then and getting a second round pick

418
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: for Sam Donald. At the time, I agent said, oh,

419
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: that's all they could get, And I'm like, that's pretty good.

420
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: Like if you put Sam Donald on the market, if

421
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: you put Sam Donald on the market this January, You're

422
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: not getting the second round pick for him. I'll tell

423
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: you that. So, uh, you know, he's he's got a

424
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: lot of good draft his four draft picks in the

425
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: first tear rounds this year. He's got about fifty million

426
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: dollars in cap space, which could go more if they

427
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: make some moves, you know, some cuts and stuff. So

428
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: he has the resources there that they should be better

429
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: next year. And I think what you have to expect

430
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: next year is can they be one of these teams

431
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: when you look at right now that's six and seven

432
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: and like has is in the playoff hunt, you know,

433
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: but they're like, you know, you don't really expect them

434
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: to go anywhere, like a Bronco is something like that.

435
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: And then two thousand twenty three, like, okay, now it

436
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: should be for real. Now should be a real contender.

437
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: In the ANFC East and that I think that's a

438
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: fair timeline to expect. Um. Okay, so first of all,

439
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: I need to go back to McKay Beckton. Um. I

440
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: don't want to be the guys starting stuff. But there's

441
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: some chatter around Beckton and why isn't he back? Chronically overweight?

442
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: Is the guy working? Is he lazy? I don't know, Brian,

443
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: what are you hearing on Beckton? Yeah? I mean I

444
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: think those are valid questions. Um, he's been We've seen

445
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: him on a side field working with trainers for a

446
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: while now, and I think he's just he's a large

447
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: man with a knee injury. That's it's tough to come

448
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: back from that. My question is like, should they just

449
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: shut him down at this what do you what are

450
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: you bringing them back for right now? Because let's do

451
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: the math. Right it's the four games left. I don't

452
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: think he's coming back this week. Maybe tomorrow they'll say, oh,

453
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: he's practicing, Like he has to come back to practice first.

454
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: He has not practiced practice in September, so it's gonna

455
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: take him at least two weeks of practice before he

456
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: could play in the game because he's gonna have to

457
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: get into football condition again. You can't just you can't

458
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: just walk in and play football if you haven't done

459
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: it for three months, especially a left tackle spent and

460
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: and especially at three seventy pounds. So now you have

461
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: two games left, are you bringing them back for two

462
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: games or one game? I would just kick it to

463
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: next year. And also not for nothing, George fit has

464
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: played pretty well left tackle for them, like he's been

465
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: pretty good. The guy's replaced back, then yeah, I would.

466
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: I might keep him in left tackle and put back

467
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: in the right tackle when it comes back and the

468
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: or do something like that. So I think, um, you know,

469
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: I I if I'm the Jets, I'm thinking about shutting

470
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: McKay down. I mean, you know, there are concerns that

471
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: he may eat his way out of the league. We've

472
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: seen this with guys slow to come back, large humans.

473
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: As you said, all right, beyond Beckton, the Denzel Mims

474
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: situation is embarrassing. I know, with Moore and Corey Davis out,

475
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: Denzel Mims should be able to get something done. But Brian,

476
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: it's still sticks in my freaking crawl that the Jets

477
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to take Claypool and they said no, No,

478
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna get more draft capital. We're gonna trade back

479
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: get Mims and uh, and then we're gonna get more

480
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: picks and and Mims has done absolutely nothing. I'm looking

481
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: at his stats here in his career. He as thirty

482
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: one catches, zero touchdowns. And I don't, I mean, is

483
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: he even gonna be on the team next year? And

484
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: be honest, no, he won't be on the team next year. Uh.

485
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: This is just and I don't, I don't. I'm not

486
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: ready to say Mimes is never gonna be any NFL.

487
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: He's just the coaching staff just does not like him,

488
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: and they have not they have not meshed. But why

489
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: why do they not like him? Is it the work ethic? Yeah,

490
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: I think it's work ethic. I think it's knowing your assignments,

491
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: um and I think, but I think it's also been

492
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: I think they've kind of mismanaged him a little bit.

493
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: He had food poisoning in the spring, didn't practice, and

494
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: they're like, in a response to that was to not

495
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: give him reps in the beginning of training camp because

496
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, he's behind now. The thing was like

497
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: a cling Cole had a great spring, so heiling Coles

498
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: now ahead of him. So Mims was basically with the

499
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: second team and a lot of times the third team

500
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: for like all training camp. He ended up getting hurt

501
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 1: yet but from the beginning of training camp he never

502
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: worked with Zach Wilson, like I know, like it was.

503
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: You can count on one hand how many, but probably

504
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: you gotta earn that just because you were a second

505
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: round pick, you don't automatically get to work with the

506
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: ones and dues like what's done. He lost that. I

507
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: think he showed potential last year, Jayson, there was potential there.

508
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: He look this way. If they had, like you know,

509
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore was ahead of him, that made sense. Corey

510
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: Davis was ahead and I'm not sure healing Cole deserves

511
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: to be at him Barrios like it was and now,

512
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: but those are those are guys who are veterans who

513
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: are gonna work their ass off, know the routes, know

514
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: the assignments, know the blocks, right, but sometimes you gotta

515
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: give this kid, like just give him a little bit,

516
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: like give him some reps to encourage him. I think

517
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: he got discouraged. I think I think his thing was

518
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: kind of like screw this. They don't like me. I

519
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: think that hurt his work ethic more. I think he

520
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: went to kind of want a shell um and they've

521
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: just kind of toyed with them all season, like it

522
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh he was inactive, then they were gonna

523
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: they were they were gonna, you know, play him, and

524
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He gets no targets, which I don't know

525
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: is the coaches or Zack doesn't trust them because that

526
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: doesn't play. So it's just a bad situation. So I

527
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: think I think they'll probably try to trade him in

528
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: the offseason. Jason. I'm not sure which he can get

529
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,719
Speaker 1: for him. Um, you know, but I think I know who.

530
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: This reminds me of Brian Um. There was a guy

531
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: that they Jets draft him two thousand twelve, Stephen Hill,

532
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: remember that. Yeah, I think Mimes is more talented than

533
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: Stephen Hill. Steven Hill had like when came from Georgia

534
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: Tech where they were in the triple option, and he

535
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: had like he had like thirty catches in his college

536
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: career that they thought he was gonna be Demerius Thomas. Yea, yes,

537
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: and he wasn't. So Yeah, I think Mimes has some talent.

538
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: I just think he just needs to be in the

539
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: right system to bring it out, in the right coaches

540
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: to bring it out, and it just doesn't feel like

541
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: a good mix right now with him. Okay, now that

542
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: i've you know, we've've got some chatter in, I'm ready

543
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: to talk about Zack Wilson. I looked at the Pro

544
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: Football Focus rankings of quarterbacks. He is fifty first in

545
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. UM. That's almost the worst among quarterbacks with

546
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: more than five starts. Tayson Hill is worse. Um. But

547
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: to defend Zack Wilson, he has He had to face

548
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: bell checked twice early, had to face Vick Fongio, I

549
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: had to face what was a good Carolina defense early

550
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: in the season, and his offensive line was a mess.

551
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: Beckton goes down. Um, he had to go play in London.

552
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: We know rookies in London and stunk, and he stunk

553
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: against the bad Atlanta team. And now I've defended Zack

554
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: Wilson for five seconds. Um, what's your great on Wilson here?

555
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: Heading into the home stretch. He gave a lot of

556
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: excuses there. He's been terrible. I mean, he's been terrible. Now,

557
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: I'm not saying your reasons aren't valid, Like there are

558
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: reasons he's a rookie, but he's not been good. Um.

559
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: And you know, you think about the Sam Donald when

560
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: he was a rookie, there was games where you're like, okay,

561
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: I see it, and now it didn't develop. But like

562
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: he he had a really good game against Aaron Rodgers.

563
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: He let a comeback win in Buffalo. Like what's Zach

564
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: Wilson's signature moment as a rookie? Right now? The past

565
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: to Corey Davis again, I think which I was a

566
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: nice pass, but like he didn't win that game for them, right,

567
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't like he was great. Now he that's

568
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: probably his best game, but he hasn't the game where

569
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: it's just like okay, he put the team on his back.

570
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: You feel like you're like, okay, I see it. This

571
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: is the guy and he has four more chances to

572
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: do it. Um. You know, Jason, he's got a complete

573
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: CSS Like easy passes aren't that? To me? Is the

574
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: most troubling thing is like why is he bouncing a

575
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: bubble screen pass? He's got a little would you agree

576
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: he has a little justin Herbert Patrick mahomes in Every

577
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: pass is like a bullet. He's just chucking it. Super hard.

578
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that? Yes, it seems to work

579
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: out better for those two though, yes, it just so

580
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: happens to um let me. They'll add, you know, you

581
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: know Donald had like you said, offensive mastermind allegedly in

582
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: Gays who worked with Peyton Manning, um Zack Wilson's working

583
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: with Michael Lafleur, who was a passing game coordinator. Had

584
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: had he ever called plays before? I don't think so,

585
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: not in the NFL. Okay, So you just add all

586
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: this stuff up, and it's like, what did we really expect?

587
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: Twenty one year old who basically had one year at

588
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: b y U. I think the big year he had,

589
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: he went into it like not even a lock to

590
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: win the starting job because of injuries and and and like,

591
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's twenty one. I don't know. Am I

592
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: making excuses? You are twenty two? But look I think

593
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: I think this Like no one's just say oh, he's

594
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: a bust like they we're not saying that he's played

595
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: nine games like he you need more time to judge him.

596
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: You just see some signs that he is the guy

597
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: you drafted number two of all that he can be

Speaker 1: We're gonna hear about it all week unless Urban Meyer

607
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: gets fired, and then we're not. And they close with Tampa,

608
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: which is gonna be gunning for the number one seed,

609
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be playing and they're gonna destroy. By

610
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: the way, their defensive coordinator might be a testing humiliating

611
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: the Jets that day, Yes, just might be. And then

612
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: they close out with Buffalo, which is probably gonna be

613
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: fighting for its playoff life. It's in Buffalo. It's January nine,

614
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: so it'll be like negative seven degrees. I mean, the

615
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: idea that Jack Wilson's gonna finish one of these games strong,

616
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: I think highly unlikely. Now I know what you're gonna

617
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: tell me, Well, Donald had that one good game against

618
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo late you remember that one come back. Yeah, maybe

619
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: Zack wasn't has a nice throw, but to overtime game

620
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: against Green basically well, but Jason Mike White played well

621
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, right, like it can happen, you know, Like,

622
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I I feel much more better if Elijah

623
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,239
Speaker 1: More or Corey Davis were playing. They're both done, right,

624
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: Corey Davis is done. They think Elijah More might be

625
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: back for those last two games. But again, that's all right.

626
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: So Brian the eternal question. Let's say the Jets end

627
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: up with picks three and nine. Seattle's schedules a bit easy.

628
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: They do not. I'm under one thousand percent confidence they

629
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: should not entertain a quarterback at any point in around

630
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: one or two. Rap. No, I'm with you, and there's

631
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 1: not even so there's not like it might be tempting

632
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: if there was one that was like really really goodness drap.

633
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: But I don't even feel like this draft has a

634
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: great quarterback in I mean you do that, you're starting

635
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: to become the Browns just recycling, by the way, how

636
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: to work out with Baker Mayfield. Like I don't even

637
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: we don't even know what his future is. These quarterbacks

638
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: are tough, man, but at any rate, I want to

639
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: look elsewhere in the division. At the end of last season,

640
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: almost everybody universally said the Patriots are done, Ding dong,

641
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: Belichick's done. Oh, this is awesome, Josh Allen and the

642
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna reign supreme in the a f C

643
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: East forever. And Brian Table didn't even go anywhere. And

644
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: the Bills have regressed significantly in the Patriots ship. They're

645
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: the best team in the a f C East again,

646
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: How how does this happen? The coach is pretty good

647
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: and you know what, he had a good offseason. He

648
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: hasn't had one of those in a while. Jason, like

649
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: they if you look at their drafts and mainly the drafts,

650
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: they didn't go nuts in free agency in other years.

651
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: He hasn't hit on a lot. This year. You got

652
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: looks like you got the quarterback, right. You know they

653
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: ad they spend some money, uh in free agency. Judomost

654
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: like a really good signing. He's been good for them,

655
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: and that they got some guys back who opted out

656
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: last year at COVID and the defense is just phenomenal

657
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: um and it's it's unbelievable that they're already back at

658
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: top of the division. You know, I thought they could

659
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: be a wild card team this year. I never thought

660
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: they'd be. So Belichick went out spent like a drunken

661
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: sailor and free agency people mocked him openly, like, oh,

662
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: this guy is so desperate because Brady won the Super Bowl.

663
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: He's just so desperate. And I mean, listen, John H.

664
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: Smith hasn't been great, but Hunter Henry's been good. Um

665
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: and A has been okay, but it doesn't matter because

666
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room like has human beings now, um good,

667
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: Judan has been great. And listen, of course the Jets

668
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: go out and spend on Carl Lawson and what happens preseason?

669
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: Injury done for the year, right, Like the is having

670
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: I should training camp before that? So training camp? Okay?

671
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: Should the Jets go out and and you know they

672
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: got fifty million, you got the GM? Do you go

673
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: out and be like listen, GM's looking and keep his job.

674
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: Do they go and spend heavily? I think you have

675
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: to be careful, you know, because it doesn't Yes, you're

676
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 1: we're looking at Belichick at work. It doesn't work a lot, right, Look,

677
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: at the Giants right now didn't work. So I but

678
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: I do think, you know, with the state of the

679
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: Jets roster, they need they need like too big money

680
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: free agency signings, um, you know, and pick your positions.

681
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: There's holes all over the roster. But I do think

682
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: they need to go out and find two guys. They

683
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: just have to be careful. Uh do they spend their

684
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: money on because we've seen it with the Jets plenty

685
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: of times, right Trumaine Johnson, but that was a disaster.

686
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: Godlass service signing. Uh, you know, it's it doesn't always work.

687
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: So so and that's one of the problems, Brian. Do

688
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: you there's probably a lot of free agents out there

689
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: who are like, oh, the Jets are gonna overpay me

690
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: because they're desperate and nobody wants to there. Hell yeah,

691
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: I'll take that money. And then they just don't care.

692
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean the Jets. I'm looking at the free agents.

693
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: Marcus May is a free agent. What's what's the deal

694
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: with that guy? Marcus Man is torn achilles you know

695
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: right now. He tore it in the beginning of November,

696
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: so I don't even know if he's going to be

697
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: able to play, you know, early next year. It felt

698
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: like they were heading for a divorce before the injury.

699
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: Jus you remember he got the u I and he

700
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: didn't tell the team about it. It came out I

701
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: wanted a lot of money too, wanted to be paid,

702
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: and they didn't pay him in the office season, So

703
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: it felt like that they were heading for a divorce

704
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: anyway this year, and so I think that will happen.

705
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: The only question to me is like, is he a

706
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: guy who doesn't get signed in free agency because of

707
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: the injury and the Jets alry, We'll give you a

708
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: one year deal cheap yet so you can get healthy.

709
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: We'll get you healthy and you know, play first for

710
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. Um, Jamison Crowder has

711
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: been good, but you have Elijah More. Do you really

712
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: need Crowder? Crowder is gone. I think he'll be gone

713
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: in the off season on a way for more. Jared

714
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: Davis was a guy they signed. Uh. He was a

715
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: former first round pick out of Detroit, I believe, and

716
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: he started injured and really has he done anything? He

717
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: actually got benched. They benched Quincy Williams, Quentin's brother. So yes,

718
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll be bad. Brian, do you have

719
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: freaking depressing. This is listening a free agent, was Jason.

720
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: I mean, these are the free agents they've they've got,

721
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: Like I mean, Kevin Coleman is probably their best free agent.

722
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: Who he's a good defensive lineman. Now the question with

723
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: him is how many defensive lineman do you want to pay? Right?

724
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: Because they paid Franklin Meyers already, They're gonna have to

725
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: play quinnin probably not this year but next year. And

726
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: then do you do you pay Fatokasi money? You have

727
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: a lot of money tied up in your defensive line

728
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: if you do that. Um. And you know, obviously they

729
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: have Carl Lawson as well, But that's what that's what

730
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: Salah basically rode to glory with the Niners. Right the

731
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: defensive line they had, like I think they were six

732
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: deep on the defensive line, right, Yeah, so he might

733
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: be pushing forward. I think it's a question of Douglass,

734
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: do you how much what percentage of your salary cap

735
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: do you want to tie up on defensive a lignement? Um?

736
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, that would be the question for them. But

737
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: Falakasi is a good player, He's been good for them,

738
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: and he's a locker room leader. So I think that

739
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: would be a tough decision for them. Um. So in

740
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: the draft, right, I have a mock draft coming out

741
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: for Fox Sports tomorrow. Um. I submitted it last week

742
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: and I basically had the Jets going with two defensive line,

743
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 1: two defensive players sorry Stingley the cornerback who everybody's gonna

744
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: have to the Jets, and a little selfishly perhaps I

745
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: had Thibodeau falling to four. Uh for the Jets. It's

746
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: two defensive guys at the outset a bit much, or

747
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: do they? I mean, I I thought with Beckton coming back,

748
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: they wouldn't draft aligneman that high. Um. And I don't

749
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: think you take a wide receiver in the in the

750
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: top ten unless it's like a Jamaar Chase type guy. Um.

751
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: You you're thinking defense in the draft as well. Defense.

752
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean last year they went four offensive players with

753
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: the first four picks in the first round, one the

754
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: second one in the fourth, so they basically kind of

755
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: pushed the defense off until two. So they I think

756
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: they have to address it hard in the draft and

757
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: free agency. And yeah, that makes sense to me. I

758
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: think edge rusher and corner are the two biggest needs,

759
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: even with Carl Lawson coming back any more than one. Um,

760
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: so I think that. I think that's that definitely makes sense.

761
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: Stingley is interesting. He's had injuries at l s U.

762
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: Does that yeah? Does that scare them off a little bit? Um?

763
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure, but he's everyone says he's

764
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: the most talented corner in the draft. But remember d Millner.

765
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: Were you there for the Jets taking the Alabama cornerback? Yeah,

766
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean Demailer was can't miss, But remember de Milner

767
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: had a ton of injuries at Alabama. You know, injuries,

768
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: and you can like, here's the amazing thing about dmail

769
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: in their case, if you want to really stroll down

770
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: that horrible avenue, I don't but go for it. He

771
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: never got another chance with another team, like was like,

772
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: like you look around the league, like guys who they

773
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: got drafted in the first round and didn't work out

774
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: for the team, they always get a second chance somewhere.

775
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: Vernon Golston went to training camp with the Bears. You know,

776
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: he was the all time Jets, but d Milner was

777
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: never signed by another team once in Jets come. Yeah,

778
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: And it's just amazing because they they always get a

779
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 1: chance of her first round pick. Is there a story there?

780
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: He played twenty He was the ninth overall pick and

781
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: he played twenty one games in his NFLC What is

782
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: there at injuries? He had a lot of injuries. He

783
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: couldn't stay in the field. You know, he he was

784
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of an immature kid, but he wasn't

785
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: you know, no, no means was he like a gang

786
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: member or anything like that. It was, but it just

787
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why he just couldn't he never I

788
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: don't think he got like one tryout and that was

789
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: it that I remember. Um, But just amazing to me

790
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: because there's been a lot of guys that come through

791
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: the Jets who don't pan out. Obviously they always get

792
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: a second they always go to a second team. You know,

793
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: Quentin Coples went to Miami, Calvin Pryor went to Cleveland,

794
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: and then Jack's in Ville. But those are all those

795
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: are all past rushers. He's a linebacker. He bounced around

796
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: the city. He went to Buffalo, He's he was on

797
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: practice squads this year. I think, like it's rare you

798
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: get drafted in the first round to just get kicked

799
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: out of the league after one. You know, you should

800
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: do a like turn back to Clock d Milner trying

801
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: to find him. I wonder what that guy's up to

802
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: the pumping gas in Alabama? You'll try to find them? Yeah,

803
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: I would. I would definitely read that story. Um So, Brian,

804
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm curious. You know, you said you've covered the Jets

805
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: for about a decade now. Um, I don't know. Are

806
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: you the kind of guy to go to the bosses

807
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: at you're at the new at the New York Post

808
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: and say, guys, yeah, I've had enough Jets? Can I

809
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: Can I go somewhere? Can I cover something else? I haven't? Um? Like,

810
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's times where I'm tempted to, you know,

811
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: the end of every season, I'm kind of like, oh

812
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: my god, can I do this again? Because the funny thing,

813
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: Jason is that a lot of people have said to me, oh,

814
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: you like that they lose, Like it's good, you know,

815
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: like they be running? Is like that? It was and

816
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 1: like at one point it was interesting when they lost

817
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: because they were supposed to be good early, you know,

818
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: like Sanchez and they weren't. It was interesting back then.

819
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: It's not interesting anymore that they lose. It would help me, Mike,

820
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: it would help me greatly if they won games, because

821
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: there'll be more interest, you know, all, I wanted people

822
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: to read my stuff, and like, it's hard to write

823
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: now to come up with compelling contact on the Jets. Yeah,

824
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: and I wanted to ask it we can wrap up

825
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: on this and and this is an interesting one because

826
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: and I don't want to give this guy too much.

827
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan obviously has a good podcast, popular, but he

828
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: often talks about how the media excus negative, which is

829
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: not a novel concept, but in the current era, if

830
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: you're writing about something and nobody's clicking on your stories,

831
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: maybe they find somebody else to write about that topic

832
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: and make it more interesting. So I don't know, as

833
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: you're a long time journalist, dude, how do you handle that?

834
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: Because you know, the standard operating procedure story on the

835
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: Jets ain't gonna click. Nobody cares about them. But if

836
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: it's negative as shit and oh my gosh, that goes

837
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: to the train wreck, but that's gonna drive clicks and

838
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: get pick up and Pro football talk is gonna link

839
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: you up and all that stuff, how do you navigate

840
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: that thing like that? Jason, I think it's poison If

841
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: he started thinking like that, and I go back to

842
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: how I thought about it when you met me at

843
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: the Daily News Record. I wanted to write interesting stories

844
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: at the Daily News Record. I wasn't thinking about clicks.

845
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: Those didn't exist back then. It was the paper. But

846
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: you just you still want to write stuff that was

847
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: interesting that people wanted to read. And that's my motivation

848
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: always is like, what's an interesting story that people want

849
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: to read? Not necessarily Oh my god, I've got to

850
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: get two hundred thousand clicks, because you know you I

851
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: have access to the New York Posts numbers on stories,

852
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: like I can see what the stories click. Yeah, Like

853
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, the stories that click are kind of depressing

854
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: because it's it's like, you know, someone posted something on Instagram,

855
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: someone's girlfriend posted on Instagram, and then that blows up

856
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: and like, I know, we have a story today off

857
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: of the Tom Brady series about Giselle talking about when

858
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: she made the comments for the Super Bowl that Tommy,

859
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: Tommy can't catch all the passes, can't throw and catch

860
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: the ball. We have that story will do unbelievable traffic

861
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: to the Jason They just you know, that's like that

862
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: gossip kind of stuff is what clicks. So you know

863
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: that's not me. But like I just try to write

864
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: the interesting stuff and um, you know, try to follow

865
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: my own moral compass and not not veer off. And

866
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't really ever think like, oh my gosh, I

867
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: gotta write this because it's gonna click, you know, and

868
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: you know you and I both know people who have

869
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: gone down that road and it usually doesn't end well, no,

870
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: because you lose You lose yourself like it's poison. Like

871
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: it's like it's it's tough with social media and all

872
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: that stuff. Um, you can't let it seep India too much.

873
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: Like I I really I have my like replies turned

874
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: off except for people I follow really get to see

875
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: them on my phone. I could seek them out if

876
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to, like I could, but like popping up

877
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: on my phone, that does not happen. I will say, Brian,

878
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: I've noticed in the last like month, I feel like

879
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: the Jets tribe I follow a lot of the beat writers.

880
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: It just feels like they're negative on social media. Um,

881
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: and again, Zack Wilson has not been great obviously, but

882
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that they're jumping over each

883
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: other to be negative, but it just feels like that's

884
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: the stuff that gets amplified on Twitter, which again it

885
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: sucks social media, Facebook, All this crap stinks, but that

886
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: that's kind of where we are, isn't it. Yeah, it's tough,

887
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: but I I find like it's poison for my brain,

888
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: you know if I read all that stuff so and

889
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: it puts me in a bad mood. Like it was

890
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: one point where I'm like, I'm getting piste off and

891
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: might be in a jerk to my family because this

892
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: guy with thirty two followers said I suck, you know,

893
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: and like I'm like, what's wrong with me? Like, just

894
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: don't listen to them, you know. So I just found

895
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: it's better off just not to look at it. That

896
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: happens to me sometimes if I have a bad gambling loss.

897
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: But I will wrap up there. Brian Brian Costello, New
