Uh. It got me thinking 17 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: that it was actually something I noticed during the Warriors 18 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: game with Andrew Wiggins. Uh. And it when it comes 19 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: to quarterbacks, I think we saw some of that last 20 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: year with Matt Stafford when he got out of Detroit, 21 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: but have some thoughts there.

Yeah, so subscribe to the podcast, share 35 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: with your friends, and let's rock and roll. I guess 36 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: we'll start with Jimbo and Saban and my listen on 37 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: the context of what they're saying. My personal take now 38 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: with n I l the payment system for college athletes. 39 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: I don't care anymore. I never really did, but I 40 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: absolutely do not care guys complaining some programs have more 41 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: money than others. The rules not fair. I'm over it. 42 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: Figure it out like I I don't. I'm not diving 43 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: deep into like the regulations. I I hate the n 44 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: C double A. I don't want the government to get 45 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: involved with anything. Leave us all alone with everything. But definitely, like, 46 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: just just figure it out. That's on the sport to 47 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: ultimately corral some of this. It's clearly a little out 48 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: of control. But listen, some programs are gonna have more 49 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,839 Speaker 1: money than others. Right, USC has an unlimited amount of cash. 50 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: And now that they have this huge advantage because they 51 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: don't have to hide it anymore, and they struggled at 52 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: it for a long time, they're always getting popped. Uh. 53 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: That they have a huge advantage, and Lincoln Riley is 54 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: taking full advantage of that. And one theory I had 55 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: why Saban was popping off a couple of days ago 56 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: is Jordan Addison, the star wide receiver who, as of 57 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: recording this, just committed to USC. You know, took visits 58 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: to Texas and Alabama. And I wonder if when he 59 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: took visits and listen in the history of college football, 60 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: and I know about a prominent prominent player who's just 61 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: got drafted, uh in the NFL who you know being shopped. 62 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: This was three or four years ago, and got a 63 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: ton of money to go where he went. And this 64 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: was well before anything was ever legal. Like, listen, guys 65 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: have been getting huge bags of cash forever. But you 66 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: weren't gonna give a guy seven million dollars in the 67 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: back of cash. You were giving him seventy five thou dollars. 68 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: You're giving him a hundred forty five thousand dollars. Well, 69 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: now we're talking millions, and this becomes a little more difficult. 70 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: The Texas schools enormous advantage a ton of money in Texas. 71 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: It's called oil in Texas, and Texas A and M 72 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: are taking full advantage of it. And and some of 73 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: these SEC schools are at a disadvantage. Usc advantage cash unlimited. 74 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: If New York had a college, they would dominate. You know, 75 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: a lot of big cities in America do not have colleges. 76 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: When you think about the biggest colleges in America, really 77 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: it's the SEC right now is running circles around everyone 78 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: on the field. They're not in major cities. So it's 79 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: going to change. Not that Texas A and M is 80 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: but the Texas oil money is no joke, and Jimbo 81 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: has an unlimited amount of reserves. Now, is it a 82 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: little disingenuous to act like Saban was cheating years ago? 83 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: At Alabama? Everyone was Jimbo. You were the head coach 84 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: at Florida State. You don't think you were handing out 85 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: wads of cash to get that team. I don't know 86 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: that when the National Championship. Remember once upon a time 87 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: Steve Spurry or Ald You free Shoes University. That was 88 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: when Bowden was there. But like I don't, I don't. 89 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: I've never cared about people cheating because I didn't consider 90 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: it cheating. I considered the n C Double a scamming everyone. 91 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: All those administrators in the n C Double as I've 92 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: always looked at them like losers. The athletic administration in 93 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: my experience when I was around at Fresno State. I mean, 94 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: if I wouldn't employ fucking any of them, I couldn't 95 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: respect them any less. Now, I'm not saying that some 96 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: A d s aren't high level, but I think there 97 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: are a lot of people in quote unquote administration they're 98 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: scamming everybody. Like when I was in the NFL, if 99 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: you were a scout, you were actually you had brought 100 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: value if you if you were a contract negotiator, like 101 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: everyone involved with the football team was bringing value. A 102 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: lot of these people with these administrative titles you know, 103 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: in athletic departments in the n C double A. It's 104 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: a joke. So I don't have that much faith that 105 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna fix it. But ultimately it's great for college football. 106 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: Like it's the SEC right now is the biggest conference 107 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: in America by a country mile, the only the only 108 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's not really necessarily close. Second. Ohio State 109 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: is technically the most watch college football program in America 110 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to college football, but their overall conference 111 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: to me, is way behind the SEC. I mean, we 112 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: see it with the the amount of NFL players going 113 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: there and really beside o how State like they producing 114 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: national champions the SEC three straight years, three different national champions. Now, 115 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: obviously Alabama has played a big role in that, but there, 116 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: I've said it for a long time, it's NFL light. 117 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: The way they're covered, the interest, the fan base, the 118 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: money's that's flowing down there. It's they have separated themselves 119 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: over this period of time, and it's fun. I enjoy it, 120 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: like part of today was I don't even care what 121 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: they're arguing about, because ultimately they're arguing about something that 122 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: it's not gonna change overnight. It's not really that big 123 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: a deal, like everyone's getting cash now. But I found 124 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: a great drama. It makes that conference more interest sting, 125 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: and it already was the most interesting conference. So there's 126 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: a reason that every NFL team has always represented at 127 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: the SEC Championship Game. There is a reason that their 128 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: games regionally. I mean, I think about this. I'm sitting 129 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: here in northern California. The best player over the last 130 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: five years from my twenty mile radius that produces a 131 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: ton of Division one players went to the University of Alabama. 132 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: His name is Najy Harris. So there's a quarterback right 133 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: up the road playing at a rival school that used 134 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: to play in Antioch. Nagy went to UH Pittsburgh or 135 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: maybe the kids a Pittsburgh Nag you went to Antioch. 136 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: I might be screwing up my high schools. But that guy, 137 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: who is a big time, potential five star quarterback, he's 138 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: gonna be a senior this fall, is more than likely 139 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: gonna go play in the SEC. And I don't blame 140 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: any of them. You know why, because when I watched 141 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: on television, it's cooler, it feels more important. Then when 142 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: I watched the NFL Draft, it's all their players. And 143 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: then when I watched then fell, the majority of the 144 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: top players are from the conference. So it's just this 145 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: just breathe interest to the conference, regardless of them screaming 146 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: at each other. I mean, it's the best coach in 147 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: the country. Have another guy who's a national champion, who 148 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: actually worked from named Jimbo screaming in a Southern draw. 149 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: How Maddie is it? Nick Saban? How they'll never talk again. 150 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: He's dead to him, like you just that was type 151 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: stuff the NFL used to give us, like the Bill 152 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: Parcels Day and Mike. You don't get that anymore because 153 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: coaches a lot, like players, get in this kind of lane. 154 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: And I don't blame them necessarily of not talking like 155 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: the way I talk, because it's not worth it for them. 156 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: They don't want to constantly be in these fights. Saban, 157 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily was looking for a fight. I think 158 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: Jimbo was right, huge narcissist, egomaniac used to getting everything 159 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: he wants and chirped and finally got a guy because 160 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: there wouldn't be many in the country. Saban could call 161 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: it a lot of programs and they would not not 162 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: fight back. Jimbo Fisher has a hunter mill in the bank, 163 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: he's got a hundred mill more coming, He's got eighteen 164 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: five stars on his team. He don't give a ship. 165 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: He did not care, and he attacked back and it 166 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: was entertaining. Then I I enjoyed it. And think about this. 167 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: It's May nineteen and we're talking about the SEC. We're 168 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: not talking about these other conferences. Now, USC did just 169 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: land the guy. And I do wonder if Nick Saban, 170 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: you know, like I said, they wanted them and they 171 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: couldn't afford them. And at least now I've always talked 172 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: like that. The media always refused, like they pretended no 173 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: one was getting paid. Everyone has been getting paid for 174 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: a long period of time. Now it's just at a 175 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: huge numbers. And I do wonder we'll see if the 176 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: numbers come back to earth a little bit, because how 177 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: many guys in college football are worth a million dollars? Now? 178 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: How many guys are actually making that much money? I 179 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: don't know. We're only a year in. It feels like 180 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: it's the wild Wild West. It's actually a great time 181 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be a college football player to do it, 182 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: to be to be a college football right now, because 183 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: there's a chance of like five years. The going rate, 184 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's like a hundred grand, right a hundred 185 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: fifty grand right now. Some of these guys getting five grand, 186 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: seven grand get an enormous deals. Half these guys are 187 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: not gonna live up to it. For every Caleb Williams, 188 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of flops. I mean, that 189 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: kid at Clemson dj LA was the number one recruit, 190 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: goes to Clemson, gets a Dr Pepper commercial. He sucks, 191 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: He's terrible. Now. I don't know if Dr Pepper necessarily cares, 192 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: but some of these companies that are paying enormous freights 193 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: of money for these hype guys are gonna be like 194 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: that ain't worth it. You know. Hell, we make fun 195 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield for being on the on all these commercials, 196 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: and he's a starting quarterback or was in the NFL. 197 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: So I think, listen, it's never been a better time 198 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: to be on the internet. Money's flowing, no regulation. You know, 199 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen to my kids in business on the 200 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: Internet in thirty years, ton of regulation everywhere. It ain't 201 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a free for all. It ain't gonna be 202 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: what I got to enjoy. Or anyone listening to this 203 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: who's part of the Internet and some sort of commerce, 204 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe if you're listening to this, your 205 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: business over the years has been regulated. Someone on the Internet. Hell, 206 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: I just saw a bipartisan bill being passed going after Google. 207 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: So it's just the Internet. You know, we've we've had 208 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: a good time. And I haven't really been in it 209 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: that long. But the people that have been at twenty 210 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: years wild wild West. And you know, if if you 211 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: figure it out, you've printed cash. If you're a top 212 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: high school recruitter right now, you're getting obscenes amount of money. 213 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: I mean, some of these guys are making more money 214 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: than guys in the NFL. I mean, there are a 215 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: ton of four fifth, six seventh rounders in the NFL 216 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: that make league minimum, you know, eight rand. Now I 217 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: don't know how many guys. Again, that's what's hard to tell, 218 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: Like how many guys are actually making a lot of 219 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: money in college football. I'm talking a lot of money, 220 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: Like I don'tgue if you're getting two hundred fifty dollars. 221 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: It's like a offensive tackle and I don't even know 222 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: if the offensive linemen are getting it. It's because it's 223 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,599 Speaker 1: not all public, so it's all these coaches bitch in 224 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: a moment that's ultimately I don't even care, but I 225 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: just enjoy the entertainment value of these guys screaming at 226 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: each other. And it's why the SEC interest. This year 227 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: will be the most popular year in the history of 228 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: the SEC, and the following year will be even been here. Now, 229 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: eventually it's gonna stop, or maybe another conference, you know, 230 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: somewhat comes up to their level. But I think it's 231 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: gonna be difficult because the second biggest conference, one thing 232 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: that they're always gonna battle is their weather. Like it's 233 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: just so much nicer to go to these SEC schools 234 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: and it's not like one thing the Big Ten has 235 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: are really good academics. If I'm a top college kid, 236 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: like most of these guys don't care that much, like, Wow, 237 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: you're Michigan. You're a great school. Who gives a ship? 238 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: I want to go to the NFL. I want to 239 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: be at first round draft pick. I'd rather go to 240 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: L S U I'd rather go to Alabama. I'd rather 241 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: go to Texas, A and M like Wisconsin, we got 242 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: great academics. Well, can we make the playoffs? And maybe 243 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: it will be easier as the playoffs expands. But where 244 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: we're at right now, Jimbo saving fireworks.

Colin had to take yesterday where 278 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: he said that Derek Carr is a Hall of Famer, 279 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: and I disagree. Uh. Now, if his career ended right now, 280 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: he would not be in the Hall of Fame. And 281 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: I don't view him as a Hall of Famer now, 282 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: just me personally, my views on the Hall of Fame 283 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: are different than a lot of people. I think it 284 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: should be such an elite club that damn good players 285 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: never sniff it. That like that fringe guys never get in. 286 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: When I think the Hall of Fame, it's the best 287 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: of the best of the best. It's Peyton Manning, It's 288 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: Brett Farve is, Lawrence Taylor, it's Jerry Rice, It's Ronnie Lott, 289 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's the all time greats of 290 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: the all time. It's Ed Reid, it's Ray Lewis. I mean, 291 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: it's just it's no doubt about it, no brainer. You 292 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: don't even have to think what John Elway, you don't 293 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: even you don't spend one second thing about it. Basically, 294 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: every guy in my Hall of Fame would be like 295 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame would be first ballots if it takes 296 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: you three or four years. Now, that's not saying they're 297 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: not really good players, like it took John Lynch forever 298 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: to get in the Hall of Fame. In my Hall 299 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: of Fame, like there'll be a cut off on guys 300 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: like that. It would the Safeties would only be like 301 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: Ed Reid, Ronnie Lott. Obviously I'm missing something, but like 302 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: the best of the best, And clearly that's not the case. 303 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: So a lot of guys get in. But I would 304 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: not put Derek carr in. But one thing that part 305 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: of Colin's argument was he's played for one of the 306 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: most dysfunctional franchises in the history of professional sports, and 307 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: you could argue, for a in in one of the 308 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: most they make money, and they did, especially before they 309 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: got to Vegas, mainly because they were in the NFL, 310 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: not because they were well run. But you know, for 311 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: a franchise something that's worth that much money, there probably 312 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: aren't many businesses because I would say that. I would 313 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: say the Raiders, if you just put them on the 314 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: open market, would get if it was a true open bidding. 315 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: The NFL doesn't really work like that because they're kind 316 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: of like, uh, you know, they picked from their own members. 317 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: It's like a country club, like they pick and choose 318 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: who gets to come in. So usually they give it 319 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: to people that are already associated with it. Like David 320 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: Tepper bought the Charlotte almost called him Charlotte Bobcats, the 321 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: you know the Panthers, Carolina Panthers, they play in Charlotte. 322 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: But he was already a you know, a part time owner, 323 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: saying with Jimmy Hasling, like that's usually how they do it. 324 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: But if they did have open bidding, I think they'd 325 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: get five billion dollars. So most five billion dollar companies 326 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: you say are pretty well run. Well, the Raiders are 327 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: a fucking joke and they have been for a long 328 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: period of time. So Derek Carr, what I do agree? 329 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this, like I have no 330 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: business not being a successful person in life. I grew 331 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: up both my parents had jobs. Both my parents were educated. 332 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: Mom didn't quite finish college, but she was a college. 333 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: She went to college. My dad had several degrees, all 334 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: full time jobs. I grew up in an area that 335 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: had good public schools. I had just a good support system. 336 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: I went to college. I had support at every turn 337 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: there was never a night in my life unless I 338 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: got major trouble refused to eat because I was piste off. 339 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: I didn't have food on my table, like every advantage 340 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: in life I had. Now, I didn't grow up super 341 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: wealthy or anything, but I didn't go to private schools, 342 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: but I grew up with support system from my family, food, education, 343 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: you name it. Even though I think education is a 344 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: little overrated. But I do have multiple degrees that I 345 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: never used. But the point is that I had zero 346 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: excuse to fail. And I remember getting to Fresno State, 347 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: and you know, we recruited guys that came from nothing, 348 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: and that's just part of you know, Division one athletic, 349 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: especially in football or basketball, probably right, guys that come 350 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: from nothing. And I remember being around him and thinking, like, God, 351 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: this guy is a really high I remember Ryan Matthews, 352 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: who's one of the nicest guys ever, who's now coaching 353 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: football at his high school I think in Bakersfield where 354 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: he grew up and obviously played in the NFL. This 355 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: guy grew up in a car at periods and points 356 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: in his life. And some of these people what they 357 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: overcome like that is that is much more impressive now 358 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: obviously had God given talents to play football, but just 359 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the way he acted and treated 360 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: people and what he's doing now, his impact on society, 361 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: like he had no bid, just just like a lot 362 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: of people. And it's not just athletics. Google the majority 363 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: of millionaires and billionaires in this country that they're self made. 364 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: And I know it's fun on social media to be like, oh, 365 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: just all these rich losers just get hated money. Actually 366 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: it's not the way it works. That's actually not the 367 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: way in this country it happens. The majority of successful 368 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: people when it comes to money, come from nothing. And 369 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: once they come from nothing, like, don't inherit the cash 370 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: create a business. I mean, we're a country of entrepreneurs, 371 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: were country of commerce. Capitalism is great. I love it, 372 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: but my point is it's much more impressive because part 373 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: of it. If if I I gave you two guys 374 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: worth a hundred million dollars, one guy came from nothing 375 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: and made the hundred million dollars. The other guy took 376 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: over a business that his dad gave him and did it, 377 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: we all know who we'd pick as the more impressive guy. 378 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: And it's no different with quarterbacks, right, like Tom Brady 379 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: overcame a lot right later. Round Pick didn't even get 380 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: to start in college. He was not handed any thing 381 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: in life, but he did get drafted by the greatest 382 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: coach of all time and went to a team with 383 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: a pretty high level owner and a stable defense, like 384 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: it was a pretty ready made situation. Peyton Manning went 385 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: to a joke franchise at the time, the Indianapolis Colts, 386 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: and Peyton Manning. There's a small percentage of people, just 387 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: like in society, that no matter what, could overcome anything. 388 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: I don't think like I've matured a lot in my 389 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: I always have a lot of respect for young people 390 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: that are really mature. Like I I hate thinking back 391 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: of not that I was a bad person. I mean 392 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: I treated people well, but just the way I thought 393 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,479 Speaker 1: about life and I was selfish and just just some 394 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: of the ways Like I think back on my early 395 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: twenties self and I don't like that guy. I don't 396 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: have that much in common with that guy. Not my 397 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: morals and my character stuff that hasn't changed, but just 398 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: the way I thought about things. I just it makes 399 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: me kind of cringe and I just remember, and I 400 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: still when if you meet him now young people that 401 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: are just really focused, really high level, really mature. I 402 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: have a ton of respect for that and those people. 403 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: I would argue our outliers, just like Peyton Manning, Lebron James, 404 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: guys that you could just throw on a franchise in 405 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: pro sports immediately take him, dominate that. That is, those 406 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: guys are outliers. Most guys need help. Matt Stafford we 407 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: shipped on forever. You know, it's like he's overrated. He 408 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: just makes a bunch of money, puts up helpless staffs. No, 409 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: actually he was really good. He just happened to be 410 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: playing for I don't know, the Detroit Lions that you 411 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy to go there. He 412 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: comes to the Rams one year Pro Bowl, Super Bowl 413 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: presss history, you know, can you imagine, because I was 414 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: thinking about this watching the Warriors game. Andrew Wiggins, who 415 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: was the number one pick in the NBA Draft whatever 416 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: eight nine years ago, came out of Kansas, blue chip guy, 417 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: goes to the Minnesota Timberwolves, one of the worst franchises 418 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: A rod owns it now before him in all of 419 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: professional sports, consistent loser place where players go to rot. 420 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: Even Kevin Garnett one of the greatest players in NBA history. 421 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: You'd argue underachieved for a large period of his career 422 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: as a you know is you know team did him 423 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: individually was good, but his team was a joke because 424 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: he played for that franchise. If Kevin Garnett had just 425 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: gone to the Spurs, just a high level franchise, I mean, 426 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: who knows, maybe he's a top ten player of all time. 427 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: And Andrew Wiggins was a laughing stock, a joke. And 428 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: then he went to the Golden State Warriors, where they 429 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: have champions all over the place, who are high character, fantastic, fantastic, 430 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: like ethos of the franchise, fantastic, just the way they 431 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: operate as a group. Uh, what they value, which is 432 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: winning uh and is excelled. He became a starter on 433 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: what looks like to be a championship team. He does 434 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: whatever it takes and they absolutely love him and no 435 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: one can make fun of him anymore. And the thing is, 436 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: most people need help. Most most people need someone to 437 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: show them the way I did. I needed my parents 438 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: Without my parents. There are other people along the way, 439 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: but there is zero chance, I repeat absolutely zero chance. 440 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here because without my parents, I never get 441 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: to Andy Reid, I never get to Colin Coward. That 442 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: does not happen. You know, most people, now, the athlete 443 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: example can be a little off because Andrew Wiggins has 444 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: God given attributes. You know, he's six seven, He's an 445 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: elite athlete that most people don't have. But my point 446 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: is there are a lot of Andrew Wiggins all over 447 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: the country who, if they had the right infrastructure, they 448 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: could thrive. Just like quarterbacks. Do you know how many 449 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who could have lasted as long as Derek Carr 450 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: with the Raiders? Not many? Not many. Matt Staffords one 451 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: because we saw him do it with the Detroit lines. 452 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: But I don't even argue with the Raiders, and I 453 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: had a real seat for it when they were here. 454 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't like anything I've ever seen. Every single year 455 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: they were talking about moving, every single one. We're gonna move, 456 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna move, We're gonna move. At their firing coaches 457 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: is they don't have enough money, As they're getting sued 458 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: by cheerleaders, as they're firing the president, as they're doing this, 459 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,719 Speaker 1: as they're doing that. Then they finally move, and then 460 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: they they bring in Gruden and then he gets caught 461 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: an email scandal. Their wide receiver kills someone. You know, 462 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: it's just one thing after another. The franchise lose millions 463 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: of dollars in attack scandal. It's it's it's hard. You'd 464 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: be hard pressed to find a more disfunctional place that 465 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: you know, way before, way back in the day before 466 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: I was even born, in like the seventies and eighties 467 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: and like John madden Day's they thrived in dysfunction, and 468 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: I think there were probably points in times in society 469 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: where it was easier to be dysfunctional and operate as 470 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: a public company or public job. It's harder now. I 471 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: just feel like with the Internet it was just it 472 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: just exposes you more often. So to me, the other 473 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: part that I hate about these Hall of Fame arguments 474 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: is that because I saw this last year with Matt Stafford, 475 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford still has five or six really good years left. 476 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: So if Matt Stafford goes on to win let's say, 477 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: another Super Bowl in his multiple time Super Bowls and 478 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: then rattles off several Pro Bowls with the Rams, do 479 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: you know what I'd say, that guy's a Hall of 480 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: Fame player. It wasn't his fault that he played for 481 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: Detroit for that long. Derek Carr now has he's thirty 482 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: one years old, potentially seven eight years left. What if 483 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: he has a ton of success. What if Josh McDaniels, 484 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: like Belichick this second go round, figures it out and 485 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: they just become a really good, consistent franchise. Now I 486 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: probably would bet against that as long as Mark Davis 487 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: owns the team, because based on Mark Davis's ownership, everything 488 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: crumbles now potentially if they get him out, get a 489 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: new owner who knows. But it is very, very hard 490 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: to overcome certain things in life in football, bad owners, 491 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: bad franchises. Pretty consistently you ruined your career, or derails 492 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: are slows down your career. It's pretty hard to overcome 493 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: certain things like you can't read it write like that 494 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: would be pretty difficult. It just would, you know. I mean, 495 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: I got yelled at every day to do my homework, 496 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: every single day, yelled at to do my homework. I 497 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: hated homework. I still cringe thinking about homework to this day. 498 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: I hated school, school board me. But if my parents 499 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't have forced me to take it seriously, I would 500 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: never have been able to get my graduate assistant job 501 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: coming out of college because in hell, I might never 502 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: been in college to begin with. Again, I hated school 503 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: the whole time. But it's just who you have supporting 504 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: you and in football owner coach GM your teammates really matters. 505 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: So to me, Derek what he's overcome with the Raiders, 506 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: I don't think he gets enough credit because he's such 507 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: a polarizing quarterback. You know, he really is this notion. 508 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: Like to me, Kyler is not overcoming much in Arizona. 509 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: They've been a consistent winner before he showed up. I 510 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: know they had a bad year when he showed up 511 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: because they had the number one overall pick, but we 512 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: saw it before Bruce Arians and Carson Palmer. Every year 513 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: they were winning. Like I've seen them win under Steve 514 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: con I've never really seen the Raiders win. They never 515 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,719 Speaker 1: won without Derek. They were like twelve straight years of 516 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: losing and now they've only had two playoffs seasons with them, 517 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: but those are two more than the previous twelve years 518 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: before he showed up. Look at Stafford, I mean that place. 519 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: All they do is loose the two best players in 520 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: the history of the franchise retired at thirty years old. 521 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: Like that that happened? Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, Google it, 522 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: Middlecoff mail back at John Middlecoff. Is the Instagram fire 523 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: in those d ms? Okay, I tweeted yesterday, it's kind 524 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: of wild. That's Steph is seven wins away from having 525 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: more rings, four than Lebron's three and a half. So 526 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: this guy John and I put it on my Instagram 527 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: is responding. Love the pod Middlecoff, But this is a rare, 528 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: bad take. I personally can't value the Bubble championship less 529 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: than a championship or Steph was playing second fiddle and 530 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: he had two of those, even if the Bubble helped 531 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: the Lakers a lot, keep up the great work. Well, 532 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying to my take of 533 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: Steph again a somewhat tongue in cheek, but I don't 534 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: take the Bubble seriously at all. That's not a real 535 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: NBA championship. Well what about Steph's championships with Kevin Durant? 536 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: Well what about Lebron's championships when he went to Miami 537 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: to join Dwyane Wade, one of the greatest shooting guards 538 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: of all time and brought one of the best big 539 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: men in the league with him, Chris Bosh Remember that one. 540 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: So if we're not gonna count Kevin Durant, how the 541 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: funk are we gonna count Miami's Like, and I'm saying 542 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: those are all equal. I count the Miami's. I count 543 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: the Kevin Durance. Here's the other thing. Steph Ain't never 544 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: had to leave anywhere, And it's not like Lebron wasn't 545 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: getting close in Cleveland. He chose to leave. The only 546 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: championships Lebron has ever won is when he's left places 547 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: and force those franchises to do things to help him out. 548 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: That's the only time he's ever won. I'm not diminishing 549 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest players of all time. But 550 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: the Bubble Championship is a joke. We all acknowledge that, 551 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: even Laker fans deep down. It doesn't mean you're not 552 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: an all time Greade franchise, but it's like a fake. 553 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: It's like a fake championship. It's like pick up basketball 554 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: in some little gym and Disney. What are we talking about? 555 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: Doesn't count? No one thinks it counts. But this notion that, 556 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: like what about the Kevin durand Jamps. What about the 557 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: Miami Championships. What about when he went to Cleveland and 558 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: forced them to trade Andrew Wiggins for Kevin Love, who 559 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: at the time was some All star, Like, what was 560 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: that act? Like Lebron was winning championships with me and you. 561 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: It's just just a reality, you know, Steph didn't organically 562 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: Lebron's IMMERSI Lebron is an NBA mercenary. That's why he 563 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: would never ever pass Michael. I like what the Chargers 564 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: did pre draft. I think they were solid in the draft. Overall. 565 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: They filled a lot of needs and have a better, 566 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: more rounded team to support Herbert. But wasn't enough. Is 567 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: there an argument to be made for more passing game 568 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: weapons thinking speed outside? Yeah, I mean I think you 569 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: can pick any roster like that. There is no roster. 570 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: Look at the Eagles. I'd argue the Eagles roster is 571 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: pretty stacked, but the quarterback we don't. Really. Like what 572 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: if I told you the Eagles had like Justin Herbert 573 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: would be like, oh, they're gonna win the Super Bowl. 574 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: You know. The Chargers are like, well, we need a 575 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: speed wide receiver. I'm your team is loaded. If you're 576 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: a Charger fan. The Chargers, to me are have zero 577 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: zero excuse to not be twelve wins. And I'm not 578 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: just saying that because you know, I make fun of 579 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley for being somewhat fraudulent. I'm saying that simply 580 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: because their rosters elite. I mean, I I think I 581 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: could coach him ten wins. Big fan of the Pod 582 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: next ten years? Who are you taking? Herbert Burrow or 583 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: Josh Allen? I think the guy is Alan, But is 584 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: there any concern given how heavily he relies on his 585 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: run game. Alan can also stand in the pocket and 586 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: sling it, of course, but you wonder how much that 587 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: has opened up by the run threat versus some Herbert 588 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: or Burrow who stand in the pocket. Yeah, my first 589 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: gut reaction would be, uh, Josh Allen. But that's the 590 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: type of list like justin Herbert, Joe Burrow or Josh Allen, 591 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: you know, be like, who would you rather have Max 592 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: Scherz or Pedro Martinez or Greg Maddox. You know, I 593 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: just obviously those guys are older and more accomplished. But 594 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, You know, I don't I 595 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: don't care I give me any of them. Now, I 596 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: like a bigger arm guy. I am pro Joe Burrow, 597 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: but to me, his arms closer to Tony Romo. But 598 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: he's a better player, you know what I mean? Though, 599 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: I would go with Alan or Herbert. I would choose 600 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: between those two, and my first inclination would be Josh Allen, 601 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: So I would probably rank it Josh Allen and listen. 602 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Justin Herbert has done more in 603 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. He hasn't. But my list would go Joe, 604 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Herbert Burrow. Love the pod, big fan of 605 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: the Washington football team. But want to ask a question 606 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: about the other NFL dumpster fire the around. Do you 607 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: know what's good about sports? You can't just have like 608 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: elite friends. You can't just have the Packers and the Steelers. 609 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: You know in the ramps. You need dumpster fires. You 610 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: need good and you need bad. There's an entertainment product. 611 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: You gotta have a little bit of it all. Do 612 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: you think the Goodell will push to Sean on the 613 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: commissioner's example list until all two cases are clear. It 614 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: would motivate the Shawn to settle keep him away team 615 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: from the media and navigating the legal landscape and placate 616 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: some of the thirty two owners I steal from truckers 617 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: has him has a fully guaranteed contract. He still would 618 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: get paid and be around the team, but can't play. 619 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: There was a story, if you haven't seen it, that 620 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: came out last week. Deshawn's talking in these depositions, and 621 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: one of the things he said is this one of 622 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: the girls who immediately cried and she's claiming that he inappropriately, 623 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: like touched her with his penis um ear muffs. Kids, 624 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: That's why I used that with the the P word. 625 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: I didn't want to get too graphic, you know, And 626 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: simply put, she was in tears. He didn't even disagree. 627 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: He said that she was crying. Now, listen, any human 628 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: over twenty five years old, if you're a man, you 629 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: have made a girl cry. So just because a girl 630 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: crying does not make you guilty. But it's hard when 631 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: you read he made her cry and not think did 632 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: he do something? You know, this is this is all 633 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: made up and she's crying and he's acknowledging it. And 634 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: then he texted her I don't want to screw up 635 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,719 Speaker 1: the exact verbatim of the text, but it was. My 636 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: first thought was like, the more to Shaun's gonna talk, 637 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: the worst this ship is gonna look. And I don't 638 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: see how Roger Goodell this to me seems like a 639 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: pretty easy one. Throw the book at him until he 640 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: proves that he's innocent, because why what for who? For what? What? 641 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: Why are you supporting Deshaun Watson, Like, what has he 642 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: done in this situation? You have had so many scenarios 643 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: in the past where you weren't aggressive enough and you've 644 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: gotten crushed. To me, I should spend it for the year. 645 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: I've been saying this over and over, like I Zeke 646 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: Ellie got to spit it for six and he didn't 647 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: even do anything. So Deshaun Watson, like these girls something happened. 648 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: He was you know, no one's denying that they were 649 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: all around each other. So and things are happening, Like 650 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm uncomfortable reading it. The other thing with Deshaun Watson 651 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: is like, listen to each his own I don't know 652 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: the relationships everyone's in. He had a girlfriend a lot 653 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,359 Speaker 1: of this time, Like do any of us talk about 654 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: like is this guy kind of a scumbag? Kind of 655 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 1: a dirt ball? You know, like and listen, some relationships, 656 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: you know what the rich elites are opened, but so 657 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: who knows? But I don't know. I just is he 658 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: just kind of a loser. That's he went from being 659 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: this guy that I always talked about like de Shaun Watson, 660 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: great guy the way I talked about like Lamar Jackson 661 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: or Patrick Mahomes, and it's like, God, he kind of 662 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: just makes me cringe. You had a girlfriend and you 663 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: had to use all these massage therapists to hook up, Like, 664 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: what are you doing, bro? Not? I just I don't know. 665 00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: Browns looked like, I don't even I'm just I would 666 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: spend him for a long period of time. That that 667 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: would be my move. As a lefty, I love watching 668 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: a left hand to throw the football. My favorite quarterback 669 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: growing up was Michael Vick as a Giants fan, and 670 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: his mobility and athleticism was just a plus. For the 671 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,479 Speaker 1: reason I always hope to a will be better quarter 672 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: will be one of the better quarterbacks in the league, 673 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: even though he hasn't shown that he will be into 674 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: with time. If Ta doesn't perform well this season, will 675 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: that be the end for the lefty quarterbacks in the league. 676 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: There doesn't seem to be any lefties coming out of college, 677 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 1: and I doubt if Ta loses his starting job to 678 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 1: anyone will pick him up as a backup. Now, if 679 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 1: he lost starting job, he get picked up as a backup. 680 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 1: There's a ton of pressure on two a Tonga Byloa 681 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: because if he does not play well this year, Tom 682 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: Brady is gonna be their quarterback next year. That would 683 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: be my prediction. If to a Socks they missed the 684 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: playoffs again, Tom Brady will be the starting quarterback for 685 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins and then the following year he'll be 686 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: like a part time owner. Like that to me is 687 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: how it's lining up now. If two is really good, 688 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 1: they can make the playoffs. To uh throws thirty touchdowns 689 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 1: and he looks just like a good young player, then 690 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: maybe just write it out. But if it doesn't, if 691 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: two was struggling throwing a bunch of picks, turn it over. 692 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: Can't see what that little piece shooter arm under throwing cheetah, 693 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: I would look for two to be a backup the 694 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: following year. Huge fan from l A since two thousand eighteen. 695 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: I hope you're doing all right when if you read this, 696 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: why the funk. Do you hate Chris Paul so much? 697 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: I put laughing emoji, but serious question, can you please explain? 698 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: Someone DM me The other day I think asking a 699 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: similar question, and I said, you know the best part 700 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: about sports, it's not just rooting for people, it's rooting 701 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: against people. That that's that's what makes this also fun. 702 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: And people you hate in life, like usually you know 703 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: it's a partnership gone bad, a relationship gone bad, a boss, right, 704 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: It's just stuff that's just very angry A lot of 705 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: times in sports, Like when I was a kid, I 706 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: hated chatting Kobe why they're kicking the King's ass? I 707 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: hate Chris Paul because I hate the antics of the flopping. 708 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: I despise it. I also think that the media created 709 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 1: this point god he's not. He did not even close 710 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: to being a top five point guard all the time. 711 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: The best point guard over the last decade by a 712 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: mile has been Steph Curry, who has beat the living 713 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: ship out of him at every turn. It's no different 714 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: than I hate James Harden. I think he's the most 715 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: overrated player I've ever seen. But and I like rooting 716 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: against these guys. I don't have that like in football. 717 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: You know, I ultimately I'm not rooting against Brandon Staleier 718 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,280 Speaker 1: Cliff King's period, I really don't care. But for whatever reason, 719 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: and maybe just because I'm still you know, I got 720 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: this fan in me with the Warriors, I've grown to 721 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 1: hate some of the people that they've kicked their ass. 722 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: Not obviously Chris and James have never beat. There the 723 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: people that the Warriors beat, and people are always making 724 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: excuses for them. Those people crumble like a cookie when 725 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,919 Speaker 1: it matters. Chris Paul just had one of the worst 726 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: game seven losses in the history of sports, in the 727 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: history of his nickname is the point God. The coach 728 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: that beat him, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul couldn't hold his 729 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: jock as a player. I don't know one GM in 730 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: the history of pros, in the history of basketball, who 731 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: would if I get a twenty one year old Jason 732 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 1: Kidd or one year old Chris Paul would choose Chris Paul. 733 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: Not one. So this notion that, like, I just think 734 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 1: he's overhyped and overrated, and I blame the media, and 735 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: there's no media that's quite the ball washers, like the 736 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: NBA media. It's like they worked for the players. So 737 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: people like me love making fun of these guys because 738 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: without me, I think everyone would just, you know, get 739 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: on their knees and just revere these players that aren't 740 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: even that good. The whole point of the sport is 741 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: to win in the playoffs. These guys never winning the 742 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: playoffs ever. Ever, Chris had one year last year with 743 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: the Sons in a bad West, terrible West, couldn't even 744 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: win the championship. You're honest, great player, Dominic six games champion. 745 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad you honest did because I wouldn't have wanted 746 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: Chris Paul to be a champion. Luckily, I don't have 747 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 1: to worry about James Harden. I mean, he's terrible now, 748 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: but it's but it's fun to root against people I 749 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: had someone dam me, Like I love rooting against Tom Brady. 750 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: This whole point of sports. What are we doing? This 751 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: is fun? I enjoy it, you know, part of like 752 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: watching the Warriors against the Mavericks. Like I got no 753 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: issue with the Mavericks. I like Mark Cuban, I like 754 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: Luca I just I appreciate their kind of team of 755 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: nobody's it's it's I got so much joy when you 756 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: hate the other team. Like, that's what sports were built on. 757 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: That's how we built the businesses of all these leagues. Hatred, 758 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: hatred you know, for your opponent, not like actual like 759 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: you don't actually care. I'm sure if I hung out 760 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: with Chris probably a nice guy. Do you think the 761 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: Dynasties are improbable in the NFL going forward to the 762 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: uh impatience around the quarterback position and the explosion of 763 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: offensive talent making teams go more all in more often. Uh. 764 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs we're gonna see. I think the 765 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs have a chance to you know, have a like 766 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: ten twelve year run. Can they win to three Super Bowls? 767 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: You know over eight year period. I think they would 768 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: have the best opportunity. Like you know, I do think 769 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: if you have a good quarterback not named Tom Brady, 770 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: you sustained success. I mean, look at the Packers they've 771 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: been you know, it's to that they played this playoff 772 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: game in two twenty two. I know they lost, but 773 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: basically from two thousand nine to two beside a couple 774 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: of years, I mean, they're making the playoffs every year 775 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: and having playoff games at Lambeau all the time. So 776 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: it's not a dynasty because they're not winning championships. But 777 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: I think that is probably the new dynasty where you 778 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: just make the playoffs all the time, like a Packers, 779 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: like the Chiefs. You know, uh, I'm trying to think 780 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: of it. You know, there aren't that many teams like 781 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens missed the playoffs. Sometimes the Steelers missed the playoffs. 782 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes Seattle had to run where they make to the playoffs. 783 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: I think like six out of seven years, that's that's 784 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 1: probably the new quote unquote dynasty. Can you make the 785 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: playoffs eight out of nine years? What the Chiefs are 786 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: doing is pretty impressive, right. They've been in two Super Bowls, 787 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: they won one. They've basically been to the playoffs every 788 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: year for the last deay Gate except one once Andy 789 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: got there. How many maybe he's been there nine years, 790 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: they made it eight. Maybe it's ten and they've made 791 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: it nine. Whatever. The obviously the Patriots to be the 792 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 1: Patriots are an outlier with vertical horizontal prolification of city 793 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,399 Speaker 1: suburbs catering the booming population. Smart d m R here, 794 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: why wouldn't the NFL advocate for, let's say, to expansion 795 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: teams for each conference? Would love to hear your thoughts 796 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: on this one. Uh, I would say, why would the 797 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: other owners want to split the revenue? To me, you 798 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 1: would move teams that there's no reason to add teams 799 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 1: that there aren't there aren't that many good quarterbacks. You 800 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: dilute your product. The I'd say, the NFL is in 801 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: every major city. Is there a major city they're not 802 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: really in So to me, that's not their problem. Their 803 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: business is not really based on cities. It's based on 804 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: television and they're crushing it on TV. So they do 805 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: not want to expand. If you're going to expand, you 806 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 1: might as all move the jag somewhere and we have 807 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: to figure out the other team. But yeah, I I 808 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: don't think you're an expansion mode. If I owned a team, 809 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,840 Speaker 1: I would be anti expansion because it's cutting in. I 810 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: get one thirty two of the revenue. Why would I 811 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: want to get one thirty six of the revenue? Simple 812 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: math equation. So I I don't think that's on the 813 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: table with you as a big friend of Mistake Guy 814 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 1: and understanding McDaniels is an offensive genius. What are your 815 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Raiders offense this year? Renfro Adams and 816 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 1: Waller would also like to hear your thoughts on cars 817 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 1: at quarterback. God, I got some of my throat. I 818 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: ate a lot of the You ever eat those uh 819 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: those white popcorns in that black bag you can get 820 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: like a gas station, white white cheddar, Oh my god, 821 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: those things melt in your mouth. I could eat. I 822 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: was actually at the story of to day. I went 823 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: in there to try to be healthy, ended up getting 824 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: just so many snacks. I got two big bags of 825 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,799 Speaker 1: that white cheddar popcorn. I went through a bag. Now, 826 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,359 Speaker 1: granted it was, you know, tiger teet off this morning, 827 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: six am my time. I was eating that stuff at 828 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: six am. I went through a bag in less than 829 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 1: twenty four hours. And I'm not talking the small back. 830 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm talking the massive back, and UM enjoyed every second 831 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: of it. I think their teams should be really good. 832 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Renfro is one of the better slot receivers 833 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,800 Speaker 1: in the league, Davanta is the best wide receiver in 834 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: the league, and Waller is a top three or four 835 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: tight end. He just gotta stay healthy. He was banged 836 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 1: up a lot last year. And like I said, with Derek, 837 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean Derek to meet Derek's good when he's on 838 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: a good team, he can be somewhere between the eighth 839 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: and twelfth quarterback. And when you're that good, you can 840 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 1: compete for a Super Bowl, right, I mean, Stafford is 841 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: not a top five quarterback, but he's five six seven, 842 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, eight in that range. You put him on 843 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: a really good team, you can win the Super Bowl. 844 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 1: I would Stafford's obviously better than Derek, but Derek's probably 845 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: that next here. But he's good enough to compete with 846 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 1: a lot of guys who I see competing in the playoffs. 847 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: But he needs a good coach, a good offensive coordinator, 848 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 1: which Josh is a good offensive coordinator, can be a 849 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: good head coach. Their offensive line sucks. Their offensive line 850 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 1: is not good. They drafted Leatherwood last year in the 851 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,879 Speaker 1: first round, the dude from Alabama. He's not a very 852 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: good player. I mean, he's just They couldn't play right tackle. 853 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: They moved him the right guard. He was even worse. 854 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 1: So I if they can't. Derek's not a guy that 855 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: can overcome a bad offensive line. Most quarterbacks aren't. But 856 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: like ma Homes can run around, Josh Allen can run around. 857 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 1: That's not really Derek's game, you know, he's got to 858 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 1: be a comfortable he's like a rhythm guy. Um So 859 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: that that, to me is their number one question. The 860 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,280 Speaker 1: offensive line. They have, the weapons, I mean, the running 861 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 1: backs obviously, the wide receivers. I don't know why they 862 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: traded Brian Edwards, the South Carolina wide receiver. I liked him, 863 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: but clearly Josh McDaniels and Ziegler did not because I 864 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: think who they traded him to, the Falcons. That was 865 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,919 Speaker 1: a good trade by the Falcons. That's he's a decent 866 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: little player. He's not little either, he's big. That's a 867 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: good trade. I don't know why more teams weren't all 868 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: over him. I don't know if there's something going on 869 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,959 Speaker 1: off the field, but I always like Brian Edwards. Uh yeah, 870 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: So I'll get back to do more mail back this weekend. 871 00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:20,720 Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening. So the game game said the volume
