Speaker 1: What is going on everybody? John Middlecoff three and out

2
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: podcast at it again and we have some breaking news

3
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: and it's gonna revolve the Texans on multiple fronts. A

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: quarterback who wants out, a coach who came out of nowhere. Uh,

5
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: so they have a head coach. We'll see how much

6
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: longer they have a quarterback. We'll dive into Tom Brady.

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: Someone asked me a pretty simple question, what makes Tom

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: Brady great? I thought we'd dive into it. The Aaron

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers saga slash situation. Uh uh, some thoughts there. Jared

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: Goff and the RAMS is now officially a disaster, no

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: way around it. They can't stand the guy. Uh. We'll

12
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: discuss that Middlecoff mail bag at John Middlecoff is the

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Instagram handle you guys know the drill slide up in

14

Speaker 1: I would, Uh, I would appreciate the help. Just leave

19
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: a review helps the show grow. And uh, these algorithm

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: things that yeah, I'm not even quite sure. You know

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: I can't keep up with with everything that's going on

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: in the technology world, but I just know it helps,

23
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: So thank you very much. Let's start with the Houston

24
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: Texans and Deshaun Watson, who I guess made it official

25
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: even though we've been talking about it for weeks. He

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: wants to go bye bye audios, Sayonara, get me the

27
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: hell out of here and listen. Like, we all have

28
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: our reasons, fair not fair? Is he doing the right

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: thing if you do not want to be anywhere and

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: you can't stand the owner like I, I mean, I

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: can relate to that. We've all probably been places where

32
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: we did not want to be anymore, and not all

33
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: of us have the ability sometimes to ask out right.

34
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: Not not every situation. We can just bounce and we'll

35
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: see how this plays out. But the Texans, in my opinion,

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: are going to hit the reset button and we'll dive

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: into the coach here in a second. But to me,

38
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: it makes sense. Just blow it up. Now. Does Deshaun

39
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: Watson look like a bad guy? You know, historically when

40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: guys demanded a trade, you know, it depends on the situation, right.

41
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: James Harden basically quit on his team got fat and

42
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: then immediately got traded and got skinny again, and we're like,

43
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's a little shady. But if you can't

44
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: stand the owner and can't stand the coach, you know,

45
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: I think historically we've always been like be a pro.

46
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: Now with Deshaun Watson, it's not like they're practicing or

47
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 1: doing anything. So without you know, the league going on,

48
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: it's not like the offseason in the sense of their

49
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: O t A is going on right now, it's hard

50
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: to tell how hardcore is stances. All we are reading

51
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: and learning about this is online and from all accounts

52
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: and all reports, he despises the owner. And then I

53
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: read he wants to go to the Jets, like, hey,

54
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: de Sean, have you seen their ownership? We might want

55
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: to go to the Dolphins. Have you seen Steven Ross's

56
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: history as an owner. It's not like he's lined up

57
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: to go to Robert Kraft. So I I think it's

58
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: easy to be like, I want to go to this guy.

59
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: What what the hell is the difference? You've been doing

60
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: way more winning in Houston. But we get our minds

61
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: made up. In his mind, clearly he does not want

62
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: to be associated. Could it be with Jack easterby this

63
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: preacher turned power hungry executive. Could it be that he

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be associated with the Patriot guy anymore? Sure,

65
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: here's where I think it becomes complicated. Our team is

66
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: gonna be interested in Deshaun Watson. Of course they are.

67
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: You'd be insane to not be interested in a Pro

68
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: Bowl a quarterback in his mid twenties. But if you're

69
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: the Texans and you've seen recently Jamal Adams, Jalen Ramsey,

70
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack, I guess Khalil Max and how the Raiders,

71
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: uh did a pick swap for a second and a third,

72
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: so let's not include them, But guys going for two

73
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: ones and a two pretty nuts looking back that Khalil

74
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: Mack didn't go for two ons in a two, that

75
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: the Bears got a second round or out of it.

76
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: But like that, that to me is what goes for

77
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl blue chip position players. Well, what do we know.

78
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: It's a quarterback league. A quarterback is infinitely more important

79
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: than those individuals because when those individuals get hurt. Jamal

80
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: Adams gets hurt, the line in the game doesn't change,

81
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: ye when the quarterback does. You know, if a backup

82
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: quarterback has to come sometimes that's a seven point swing,

83
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: and we didn't need Vegas to tell us like how

84
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: important that position is. It trumps every other position. So

85
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: this guy, you could argue, if Jamal and those guys

86
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: are going for two ones and a two, is he

87
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 1: worth four ones and maybe a two? Now you could argue,

88
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: give me four ones, like that probably be enough. And

89
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: I think just if you just do it that way,

90
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: of course you can. But when I put myself in

91
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: these other teams shoes, is anyone gonna give up four

92
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 1: ones for Deshaun Watson? Because part of giving up four

93
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: ones is you're not gonna get any cost control assets

94
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: moving forward. You know in the draft that first round pick,

95
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: but you're also not gonna have AMMO to ever make trades, like,

96
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're kind of good and you

97
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: need a wide receiver. Here's pick twenty two for Stefon Dicks.

98
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, we want to go trade for

99
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: a blue chip defensive player. Here's two ones for Jalen Ramsey.

100
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: You don't have any of that, so it does complicate

101
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: the situation. He's also already been paid, makes a lot

102
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: of money, which no one has a problem paying a

103
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: guy million dollars when they're a pro bowler. But with

104
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: all these teams and caps that stuations, it makes it

105
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: a little, you know, complicated. Also, if you're the Texans,

106
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: you're not just gonna give him away, Like, it doesn't

107
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: make that much sense to trade Deshaun Watson to a

108
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: play like let's say the Colts, We'll give you three

109
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: ones and two twos. You'd be like, then you're just

110
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna win because your team's already stacked. I'm not doing that.

111
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: You could argue the only two options for teams that

112
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: let's assume they'd be interested would be the Dolphins and

113
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: the Jets, because then if you trade with the Dolphins,

114
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: you just recoup your pick back and you could start

115
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: over and draft a quarterback. The Jets have the number

116
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: two overall pick. You could even trade Deshaun Watson for

117
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: Sam Donald get you know, and in three ones or something.

118
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 1: To me, those are the most logical destinations. And I

119
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: I do think DeShawn is in for a little bit

120
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: of a wake up call that he's leaving his organization

121
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: for organizations that let's let's stop acting like these other

122
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: teams are the Yankees. You know if he goes to

123
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins or the Jets. I mean, the Jets have

124
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 1: been an embarrassment for over a decade. That's not an opinion,

125
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: that's a fact. I mean the Dolphins, we we wanted

126
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: to throw a parade for them. They missed the playoffs

127
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: this year. There were seven seats right now. You put

128
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson on them, they'd be good. They'd be better, clearly.

129
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean they won what ten games? But if they

130
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: trade for de Shaun Watson, how do they get a

131
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver because they'd have to surely trade their picks.

132
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: My gut, though, is ca serio. And this leads into

133
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: David Culley. They're gonna blow this mother up. And I

134
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: think that's the right move. It's an easy one. I

135
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: would consider it a BP fastball. The guy wants out.

136
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: These patriot people are obsessed with culture. They hired David Kelly,

137
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: who I worked with with the Eagles. Nice guy, good position, coach,

138
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: head coach. Never in a million years would I have

139
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: seen that. Honestly, I think that's insane. But here's my theory.

140
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: I have two theories. One that they really wanted to

141
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: hire Josh McCown as their head coach. They realized the blowback,

142
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: even though I think that's overrated. Who gives a ship

143
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: what the media says, you know, or even the fans

144
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: like they're gonna watch no matter what you know? You can't.

145
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: Social media was up in arms over interviewing Josh mccount.

146
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: My response would be, adults aren't on Twitter. Who cares?

147
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: Now if you talk to him and you realize, like

148
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: this is nuts, he can't be a head coach right

149
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: now because it is a massive transition from being a

150
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: player to just becoming a head coach. Right You've never

151
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: managed the staff, You've never managed unless you run a

152
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: business on the side for the last decade. It's a

153
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: big transition, but it's a transition that high level guys

154
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: could probably seamlessly make. But he might need a year

155
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: or two be on the staff, learn from what's going on,

156
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: and then be groomed to take over. David Kelly, a

157
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: sixty five year old never called plays lifetime position coach,

158
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: is in a position where he never would have been

159
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: a head coach. So you put him out there when

160
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: you're basically gonna tank and blow it up, and you

161
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: know he's sixty sixty eight, You remove him and implement

162
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: Josh McCown when you're ready to kind of make your

163
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: jump with all these picks. That to me is my theory.

164
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: So what was David Culley gonna do turn down the

165
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: opportunity to become a head coach? Of course not I wouldn't.

166
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't blame him at all. But let's not act

167
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: like they're hiring him because they think, quote unquote is

168
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: the best guy on the market. He's not. I think

169
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: they want to hire Josh McCown eventually, and the way

170
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: to get him ready is to basically put Culley in

171
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: a position if you trade Watson and trade j. J. Watt,

172
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: there two best assets to just absolutely suck and just

173
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: almost throwing Cully out to the wolves, and then when

174
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: the dust settles in a couple of years, you can

175
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: replace him with Josh McCown. It wasn't exactly like this,

176
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: but the Cleveland Browns did that with Hugh Jackson. Now,

177
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson was an awful coach. I'd be shocked at

178
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: David Kelley is as bad as Hugh Jackson. But Hugh

179
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: Jackson called plays at a really high level. David Culley

180
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: is not. David Culley was the passing game coordinator for

181
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: the team with the least receptions, team that can't pass

182
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: the ball. Now, that might be on the quarterback, that

183
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: might be on the coordinator, but that was his role.

184
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: And he's just a lifetime wide receiver coach. So you

185
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: throw David Culley out there and you just you let

186
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: him take all the bullets. Right, It's it's a shitty situation.

187
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: But as what's his name says, and madman, that's what

188
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: the money's for. And he just got a paycheck and

189
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: a contract that is dramatically more money than he's ever

190
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: paid in his life. And guys like David Culley who

191
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: have been in the league twenty five years, I bet

192
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: he was making a million bucks in Baltimore. The one

193
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: thing we always talked about, like the enemy is getting screwed.

194
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: And clearly people don't like Eric B. Enemy for whatever reason.

195
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never met the guy. The league

196
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: just does not want to hire him, right because I mean,

197
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: the Texans just hired a black guy and it was

198
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: at Eric B. Enemy. But the victim thing with Eric B. Enemy,

199
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: here's the one thing I will say, he makes a

200
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: million dollars maybe more like it's not like you know

201
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: some when people are getting screwed, it's like, God, this

202
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: guy is not getting a promotion. You know that the

203
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: difference between fifty and a hundred fifty thou dollars life changing.

204
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: Like this guy is a millionaire, you know, like it's

205
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: not his life. Isn't that bad. He's the right hand

206
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: man for the best team in the league, probably about

207
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: to win back to back championships. And who in their

208
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: right mind would want the Texans job. So if it

209
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: came down to, like, you get the Texans job, I

210
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: would not touch that bad boy because they are going

211
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: to suck. So the erik the enemy thing the league

212
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: is spoken. They don't like the guy. All these new

213
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: g m s wouldn't touch him. The Texans went with

214
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: David Culley because I think really they want Josh McCown

215
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: and Deshaun Watson can't stand cal McNair and uh yeah,

216
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: get get ready for Tanka Palooza in Houston. Let's dive

217
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: into something that I think someone DM me this and

218
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: it got me thinking because it was such a basic

219
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: question and we never really talked about it because we're

220
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: always talking. Always wins m v P Super Bowls. Tom

221
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: Brady the goat, that's all. Tom Brady the goat. Someone

222
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: dm me with the basic question, the simple question of

223
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: what makes Tom Brady so good? Like actually what makes

224
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: him such a great football player? And it got me

225
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: thinking if anyone in the books really famous. She did

226
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: a ted talk. Angela Duckworth wrote a book on the

227
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: trait that all successful people have in common, and most people,

228
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: I think would assume it's talent, it's intellectual capacity. And

229
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: what she came up with, it's the name of the

230
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: book is grit And I think grit encompasses a relentless nature,

231
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: a determination, uh an ability to battle through the shitty

232
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: times right, andy do frame crawling through the hither sewer

233
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: right and anyone that can take you know, kind of

234
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: gets Listen. Life throws you curve balls. Whether you're a

235
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: football player, whether you're a businessman, whether you're a family man,

236
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: whatever you're doing, right, nothing is easy. And the people

237
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: that consistently are most most successful. Think about all the

238
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: people you know in your life that you would qualify

239
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: as really successful, whether it's a business owner, whether it's

240
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: you know, high level employee somewhere, one of your buddies, whatever.

241
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: Maybe to yourself, I think most people, and it's true,

242
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: have that relentless nature encompassing grit. Right, clearly he has that.

243
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: You know, he's known to be one of the late

244
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: round picks, becoming one of the gray quarterbacks of all time,

245
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: arguably the greatest. I think he is the greatest, but

246
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: I think there are several things that really stand out

247
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: before we get to him as a player. Now, to

248
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: play in the NFL at quarterback, you're gonna need some

249
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: just basic characteristics, right, just being able to throw a football.

250
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: And I think everyone who makes in the NFL has

251
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: the arm ability. Now there are clearly stronger arms than

252
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: other and Brady, we'll get into his arm it's well

253
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: above average. I think Brady's discipline with his TV twelve diet,

254
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: with everything that he encompasses, what he eats, is elite.

255
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: Like if that if that was on my scattering report,

256
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I'd give that like a plus plus plus discipline. Anyone

257
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: that's read about anyone in the military, right Navy seals

258
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: people doing anything under that umbrella. Discipline is like one

259
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: of the number one things you have to have. The

260
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: mental discipline that Tom Brady had, as with his body,

261
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: which is his money maker, is as good as it

262
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: gets right. And they always said this about Tiger Woods right,

263
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: his ability, his work ethic, his discipline of getting up

264
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: every day at the same time to work out and

265
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: then hit balls and then play and then work out

266
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: again and then hit balls again. It was just like,

267
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: this guy is a machine. I think at forty three

268
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: years old, Brady is an absolute machine. With the way

269
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: he takes care of his body. We can say it's

270
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: a weird way with David Guerrero and the t V

271
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,479
Speaker 1: twelve methods, but it works. It's it can't even be disputed.

272
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: And to piggyback off that, I think his work ethic

273
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: and I think this speaks to the great quarterbacks of

274
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: his era. When I think Brady, I think Manning, even

275
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: though Brady was better, but both those two guys, you

276
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: hear anyone who worked in a building with them, their

277
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: work ethic is unparalleled. And I would put Drew Brees

278
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: under this too. I mean, we've all heard the stories.

279
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: I've lived it. The coaching hours right, leaping in the

280
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: office seven days a week, long days. Being an NFL

281
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: quarterback and elite NFL quarterback, you have to have that

282
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: same You're on the same times table like you were

283
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: putting in eight hour work weeks. I'm not even talking

284
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: about game day. I'm talking about preparing to play. Your

285
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: body lifting, the practices, the film study, the game plan,

286
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, Uh, implementing the game plan during that week.

287
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: You're a massive part of that. Another huge check for Brady. Uh.

288
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Here's what makes Brady special for being this weirdo. And

289
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: when I say weirdo, it's it's respectable eating the food.

290
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: But most people in the NFL an have avocado ice cream.

291
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: You know what, Brady's offensive linemen are eating chocolate chip

292
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: ice cream. You know what, Mike Evans is probably eating

293
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: a burrito. I bet Devin White is just grubbing, Like

294
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: when when you're burning calories and you're in your twenties,

295
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: you can eat whatever you want. I'll never forget being

296
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: with the Eagles looking at de Shawn's play lunchtime. She's

297
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: like burger and fries, and he was the fastest guy

298
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: in the league. So it's just no one's really doing

299
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: what Brady is doing the pliability stuff. Maybe Gronk, but

300
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: most of these players lifting hard. So it's it's there

301
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: like doing the opposite of what Tom is. Yet Tom

302
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: even at forty three years old. Even with all these

303
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: pelts on the wall and all the success and all

304
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: the fame still comes across is like this humble, down

305
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: to earth, blue collar guy, and he's very relatable. I

306
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say he's one of the greatest

307
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: teammates in the history of team sports. And I for

308
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: the most part, when guys get really famous, they almost

309
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: feel out of touch to their teammates. And whenever you

310
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: hear that. I've never heard one person, one former Patriot,

311
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: say a urst word, bad thing about Tom Brady. Not one.

312
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: These people with Tampa go above and beyond talking about him.

313
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: I heard Jason light On with Peter King saying that,

314
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: like god, he just he's the most humble superstar probably

315
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: in the history of the sport. You just walked by

316
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: him down the hallway, you think you're like talking to

317
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: a practice squad, which is how nice he is to everybody.

318
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: That is a special attribute that you almost have to

319
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: have at quarterback because you are so dependent on others.

320
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, this is not basketball. You can't just do

321
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: it yourself. You can't be Michael Jordan or Kobe or Lebron.

322
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: It's like carry your team to a championship. You need

323
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: people to block for you. You need running backs to

324
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: run hard, you need wide receivers to run the right routes.

325
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: You need the defense to be inspired by you like

326
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: you have to inspire. Same deal with the coach. That's

327
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: why being a quarterback is so hard. Remember Carson Palmer

328
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: told me when I interviewed him like a year ago,

329
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: that I think he missed most every day walked in

330
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: the building the way the world was on his shoulders.

331
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: Let's face it, most of us when we feel a

332
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: little pressure or stress, we crack quarterbacks and really coaches.

333
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: But the starting quarterback, once you're of his level, the

334
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: pressure is a mens on a daily basis. I'm not

335
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: talking Sunday on game day. I'm talking Wednesday at walk through.

336
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking Saturday night at the team hotel, getting ready

337
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: for the game. It's just I can't relate to that.

338
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: I think most players in the NFL would tell you, Yeah,

339
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: it's just like I'm fighting from my job every year.

340
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: It's an intense job. I mean, it's obviously encompasses physically,

341
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: emotionally everything I have, But like, I'm not counted on

342
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: quite like the quarterback in terms of the entire cities

343
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: looking at this guy. It's hard, you know, and he's

344
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: great at that most underrated part about him. Then I

345
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: just we don't naturally talk about he wants to be coached.

346
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: He yearns to be coached. He wants you to hold

347
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: into a high standard. He's used to it, been around

348
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: Belichick for twenty years. It's always what they said was

349
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: the best part about Tim Duncan. He was you could

350
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 1: coach him the hardest. And when you can coach your

351
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: star player, who's the best player ever, the hardest, makes

352
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: coach of the rest of the team pretty easy. If

353
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: I can yell at Tom Brady, I sure as hell

354
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: can yell at Mike Evans or Devin White, Right, it

355
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: just sets the tone for the entire organization. It's not like, oh,

356
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: they're just given Tom a pass here. Oh there's there's

357
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: Tom screwing up again. No, it's not. He doesn't want

358
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: it like that. He's obsessed with football, and I think sometimes,

359
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: like on social media, people always act like balance is

360
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: the key. Balance, Balance, balance. Knew a couple of really

361
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: successful people growing up, friends, parents and grandparents, growing up

362
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: obviously being around professional athletics, you know, being around coach

363
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: Reid Um, you're becoming friends with just different people in

364
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: the league that have had success, knowing like Howie and

365
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: Veach and even guys that do different things in Lewis

366
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: Riddick now from Monday Night football. These guys are obsessed

367
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: with football. Anyone worth their salt. I think in any

368
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: big time industry is obsessed with that business and being

369
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: the best in striving too, and people like, well, you're

370
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a family men, Yeah, you have to, that's

371
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: part of lot. But people that take their job like

372
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: beyond seriously usually do pretty well. Like that's the price

373
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: of admission for the big time industries and part of

374
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL. If you're not obsessed, it'll eventually

375
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: weeds out. And most players are all in on football.

376
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: Most would be strong a decent large percentage because you

377
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: have to be. It's it's too demanding of a job.

378
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: I think Tom takes that to like the you know,

379
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: nth degree, like times fifty. It's just it's crazy how

380
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: much he's addicted to this sport. Why let's roll it back.

381
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: Why is he so disciplined with his food, Why does

382
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: he work so hard? Why is he the first guy

383
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: in the building the last guy out. Why does he

384
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: make such a big effort to get along with his

385
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: teammates Because he's obsessed with the game and obsessed ultimately

386
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: with winning, and to win, you have to do all

387
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: that stuff. And then from a football perspective, listen, I

388
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: mean he's six five, he's huge. He has a big

389
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: arm that I'd say, you know, in his peak, he

390
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: was probably throwing like seven if we do the baseball analogy,

391
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: and now he's throwing, he's still throwing hard, so he can.

392
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: He definitely can play outside. Clearly is the greatest cold

393
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: weather quarterback of all time. Well, if you can play outside,

394
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: it's not very hard to play inside, which he can

395
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: do pretty easily warm weather situations. His pocket presence and

396
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: instincts are elite, right. His understanding of pressure movement in

397
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: a small radius is just top notch, and it has

398
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: to be because he's he can't run away, but he

399
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: has mastered playing within that little that little area that

400
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: in football you call the pocket. Like I said, his

401
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: arm strength is above average. There's not a throw in

402
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: the NFL he hasn't been able to make for twenty

403
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: plus years. His poise also, and just moxie playing the position,

404
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: which is somewhat of an intangible but I think based

405
00:22:54,520 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: on when there's pressure, tight spots down seven like it all,

406
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: he's always completely under control. And for a guy that

407
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: can have some like mental blow ups and when I

408
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: say mental blow ups, like dropping some f bombs, coming

409
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: off the field screaming as coaches, he gets it back

410
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: to like pretty neutral quick. He is not Mr hoot

411
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: and hollering and then he's on the field screaming on

412
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: the next series. He comes back to neutral quick because

413
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: you have to be he there's an amp. There's a

414
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: baseline level of focus that it takes for every snap

415
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. If not, you'll lose his His toughness

416
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: is underrated now. Is he sitting in there and getting

417
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 1: blasted now? Maybe like he would have ten years of

418
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: course not, but is is toughness. You don't dominate at

419
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: this level at that position in twenty plus years in

420
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: New England, go on the road in New Orleans in

421
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: Lambeaus tough and his elite. It's football i Q. Now

422
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: part of football i Q when you've been playing this long.

423
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: He's added to it over the years. And back to

424
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: the obsession when you just addicted to something, you're gonna

425
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: constantly be learning about it. And he was with arguably

426
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: the greatest coach of all time and Josh and Bill O'Brien,

427
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: Like he's been around a lot of good coaches and

428
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: everything they do in New England. His football, like que

429
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: was off the charts, you know, Like that's the Tom Brady,

430
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: the Drew Brees, the Peyton Mannings. It's like got it.

431
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they just can't be any smarter at football.

432
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: They're only limitations are physically like that. Just Drew got

433
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: to the point where he couldn't stay healthy and he

434
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: couldn't make the throws. Paid man, he got to the

435
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: point where he couldn't make the throws. The difference Tom

436
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: Brady and those two guys. Now, he's better than those

437
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: two guys. But he can still make all the throws,

438
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: whether it's a go route, whether it's a deep out route,

439
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: whether it's a deep comeback from the opposite hash Like,

440
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: he still has the armstrang. Those guys stopped being able

441
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: to do that. That's why they both retired. I guess

442
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: Breeze hasn't officially retired yet. Yeah, I mean, he's just

443
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: he's he's he's the rare. He's a machine because remember

444
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: we talked about Tiger Woods like that, like he's a machine,

445
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: but no one really like he's like not really human

446
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: 's like this machine. But he's also if he invited

447
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: you over to his house for beers, I think you

448
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: can have a pretty easy conversation with him, Like he

449
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: just he seems like a pretty down to earth, like, hey,

450
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: you just want to bring over a twelve pack of

451
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: Corpse Light and just watch whatever's on TV and bullshit,

452
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: Like he can do that, and that's it makes him

453
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: very unique. Home playoff home NFC Championship game for the

454
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: first time of this five and he loses to Tom Brady,

455
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: so kicking the dick right, And we didn't talk really

456
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: about the game beside the floor fourth down call. We

457
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: just talked about Rogers status in this situation. And I

458
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: do think he brought into light because I watched him

459
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: talk with Pat McAfee and he claimed that listen, I'm

460
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: just talking about what what the reality is with everyone

461
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL, that there is a finite time that's

462
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: gonna come to an end. I don't control my future,

463
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: and I learned that the moment they drafted Jordan's Love,

464
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: and I think that's a good life lesson for everyone.

465
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: And Aaron one of the most talented quarterbacks we've ever seen.

466
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: The Packers built their organization around him. It would be

467
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: he might not be human if he didn't feel somewhat

468
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: of a god. I'm untouchable. They basically gave him a

469
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars, you know, guaranteed they paid him a

470
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars within like a two year span from

471
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: like eighteen and nineteen, made a ton of money. It's like,

472
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm one of the highest paid guys in league history.

473
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: At the time he signed it, he was or might

474
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: have been two behind. Russell can't remember. I'm one of

475
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: the best players in league history, and this is my franchise.

476
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: And then the two twenty draft comes, they take Jordan

477
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: Love and he was probably show shocked. And we all

478
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: sometimes need a little, you know, a good shake, a

479
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: good wake up call. It happened to me when I

480
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: was fired in the NFL, and I was like thirty

481
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: years old. It's like, damn, life coming out came at

482
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: me fast. I didn't expect to go anywhere. And it happens.

483
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: It happens to us all Corona this year. How many

484
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: people do you know that had just businesses that were humming.

485
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: I thought they were untouchable. Hell, some of the biggest

486
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: businesses in America, Disney, all the casinos, Boom Vegas. Vegas

487
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: always makes money. I went to Vegas over Corona. When

488
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: I was staying at the Bellagio. I went to this

489
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: pizza joint. I forget his name, its name, it's in

490
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: the plazio and the guy that runs the pizza joint,

491
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: I started bullshit with him because I hate Corona and

492
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: I just spied the lockdowns, and I was talking to

493
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: him about the situation of you know, how much business

494
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: he's losing, and he was saying, you know, they're fifty

495
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: or it might have been fifty to sixty restaurants in

496
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: America of this pizza chain. And he said, of the fifty,

497
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: forever we were the number one. It wasn't even close.

498
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: And he's like, right now during Corona, we're dead last.

499
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: It just shows you in a million years, would have

500
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: been like, well, how's this pizza chain ever gonna not dominate? Right?

501
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: You'd be like, they're in Vegas. People are always in Vegas,

502
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: and then boom Corona. You can't travel. People ain't gonna

503
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: go to Vegas. And it's like you gotta wear a

504
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: mask at the table to gamble. That's gonna cut out,

505
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, half the inventory right there. And all of

506
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: a sudden they're getting their as kicked. Disney, what are

507
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: they in? Uh, theme parks? We can't go to theme parks.

508
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: Cruise liners, those are stopped. And he's just you never know.

509
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: Two thousand twenty was a fantastic year from the standpoint

510
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: of it's a good life lesson to just realize you

511
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: always gotta be on your toes. You can never get

512
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: fat and happy because you know, a year ago at

513
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: this time, if you would have said the word Corona,

514
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: I would have said, get me to Lin too. Right

515
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: now you say it, I'd be like God, the thing

516
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: that you know through our entire world for a loop.

517
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: And Rogers, I mean, the moment they drafted Jordan's Love,

518
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: his jaw had to hit the floor, like did that

519
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: really just happen? Even after a quote unquote you know

520
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: down year for Rogers, they just made the NFC Championship game.

521
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: He was thirty six years old, they had just paid him,

522
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: and it just kind of rattled him. Now he said

523
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: on McAfee that, yeah, I don't expect to go anywhere,

524
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: and I'm not planning on demanding a trade or anything.

525
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: You only get true leverage in life in the business

526
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: world so many times, and as an athlete where your career,

527
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: like my career in talking, could last until I can't

528
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: talk anymore. Right if if I have a podcast from

529
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: a broadcaster, my career could be fifty years. Marv Albert H. B.

530
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: Brown is eight six and he's calling NBA games. You

531
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: can just talk forever. Aaron Rodgers football career will end.

532
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: It is even right now if he's got five six

533
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: years left, is on the home stretch, right, he's on

534
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: the back nine. Well, so right now he has some leverage.

535
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: He's the best player in the league. He just won

536
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: the m v P and I heard today like he's

537
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: out of guarantees in his contract, so he might as

538
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: well flex his muscles a little bit, like you guys,

539
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: you want to take care of me a little bit,

540
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: or he could make it uncomfortable for them. And I

541
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: don't blame him for using and using his muscles a

542
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: little bit because they are way more dependent on him

543
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: than he is on them. Because if you put Aaron

544
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers on most teams in the league, they're in pretty

545
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: good shape. If I take Aaron Rodgers away from the Packers,

546
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: they're fucked. And he knows that now. He knows like,

547
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: they're not gonna trade me tomorrow, and they're not gonna

548
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: trade me, but I'm gonna rattle some cages. And That's

549
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: what I said on Monday. And the more I heard

550
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: him talk like he knows what he's doing, wants a

551
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: little more cash to be guaranteed, he makes a lot

552
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: of money, but he's already not the highest paid player

553
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: in the league. And again they did this to themselves.

554
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: They you know, the stock thing that's going on right now,

555
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: people shorten and game stop going up. They shorted Aaron Rodgers,

556
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: and I didn't blame them. I was like, I would

557
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: have done that too. You know what. The what Aaron

558
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: Rodgers was the equivalent of the redditck guys. It's like, oh,

559
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: you're shorting him, We're gonna buy more. And Rogers came

560
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: back forty eight touchdowns m v ps and made that

561
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: short position awful. You did not want to be on

562
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: that short position. And then you're basically shorting him. With

563
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: Jordan's love, who's not any good. Countless reports this week

564
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: have come out like he's not even ready to be

565
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: the backup. He's a major project, I mean one thing

566
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: to be when we use the word project, like Patrick

567
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes was a project. He he was starting by end

568
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: of year one week seventeen, right, Uh. Carson Wentz was

569
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: a project. Jared Goff was a project. You know, just

570
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: you can be a project and still not be not

571
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: ready to play at all after year one. That's a problem.

572
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: That's that's bigger to me than a project. You're a

573
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: reclamation project maybe, I mean, you're you're just you're a

574
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: piece of clay, and you know, we don't know that

575
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: we can sculpture. They don't know how could they? Right now?

576
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: He could not beat out the back of quarterback Aaron.

577
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: Aaron knows that. So I just think that it's just's

578
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: gonna get a little weird for them. Are they going

579
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: to extend them? Because the one thing Aaron, the point

580
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: in time Aaron Rodgers at in his life, he clearly

581
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: doesn't give that many you know what, I don't blame

582
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: him now, Like is it ideal to have a guy

583
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: throwing your coach under the bus and stuff. No it's not.

584
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: But he's good enough too, and there's nothing really they

585
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: can do it. So back to what I said, you

586
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: only get true leverage in your life, whether you're Aaron

587
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: Rodgers or whether you're listening and you're just a sales

588
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: guy at your company. You're only gonna get it so

589
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: many times right after you realize, like God, the number

590
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: one company that we've been trying to land as a

591
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: partner wants to talk to me. Well, now I got

592
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: my bosses by the balls because that guy only wants

593
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: to deal with me and Aaron Rodgers nose right now.

594
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: They got no choice but to put all their chips

595
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: in the middle of the table on Rodgers when they

596
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: were doing the exact opposite last draft. Things change fast, man,

597
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: they exchanged fast. Let's take a live look to a

598
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: developing situation that we have going on in Los Angeles,

599
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: and that would be the l A Rams and their quarterback,

600
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: and it's officially now a major problem. Coaches typically give

601
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: us the cliche bs answers when it comes to a

602
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: player they don't like. They're not gonna publicly crush, specifically

603
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: their quarterback who's under contract. I've said it forever when

604
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: someone talks coaches politicians, most of the time your words.

605
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: I judge in your actions, not your words when they're

606
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: positive and they're slanting, like, I'll just judge you by

607
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: what you're doing, not by what you're saying, right, Like,

608
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, we're just we're coming along on defense and

609
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: your defense giving up forty points. Like, no, you're not

610
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: coming along on defense. We're watching you. I think the

611
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: guy's a really good player, and then he gives up

612
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: three touchdowns at a corner and you're like, no, I

613
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: don't think the guys that could have a player, right. Typically,

614
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: they just go over the top on saying positive things.

615
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: Just the nature of the business in a public business, right,

616
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: politicians are king of it. They're full, they say nothing right,

617
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: They're never gonna say what they're really thinking. That's why

618
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: most of us have become numb to the whole political spectrum. Right.

619
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: It's just like, oh my god, I think football can

620
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: be a little bit like that. You know, players get

621
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 1: very good at it too. The rams, though, have gone

622
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: the complete opposite. I would die for, you know, just

623
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: a normal politician, especially where I live, to have the filter,

624
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: or the lack thereof, that less need and Sean McVeigh

625
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: have right now in their quarterback because I'll tell you this,

626
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: they don't give a crap. They don't care at all

627
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: what he thinks. And the coach crushed him. Troy Aikman

628
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: crushed him where he was getting his information from the

629
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 1: coach and then less Need basically came out and said,

630
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: the guy that drafted him number one overall and paid him, yeah,

631
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: we'll see, is he our starting quarterback? I don't know

632
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: anything is possible in a salary cap league. He's not lying,

633
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: but you never ever here, you know, wording like that

634
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: from a GM on a quarterback that really isn't tradeable.

635
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: And I said the moment that the story broke that

636
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: Goff and McVeigh needed marriage counseling, I said, well, unlike

637
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: in a marriage, a divorce is possible. I don't know

638
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: if a divorce is possible here. He's owed a hundred

639
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: six million dollars basically twenty six million dollars for the

640
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: next four years. But here's the thing. Colin had a

641
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: theory and maybe someone in the league told him this,

642
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, I have it. Asked him that he

643
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 1: thought that the Rams went to Jared Goff and asked

644
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: him to take a pay cut, and he said no,

645
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: and then they're coming out and blasting him. I asked

646
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: someone in the league if they thought that was possible,

647
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: and he said sure. Maybe they asked him, But in

648
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: what world would an age take guaranteed money off the table?

649
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: Talk about bad business? If anything like no less, we

650
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: ain't bailing you out. You paid us. That's just not

651
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: the way it works. No players ever in Jared Goff's

652
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: situation take less money, because if it was the opposite,

653
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: they've cut his ass, right. I don't blame Jared Goff

654
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: for not taking less money. I don't know if that's

655
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: true or not. The asked for a pay cut because

656
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: I maybe less need would. To me, it doesn't make

657
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: any sense because you already know what the answer is

658
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna be a big fat n O.

659
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: And Sean McVeigh was crushing Jared Goff before they ever

660
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: would ask him for a pay cut. He benched him

661
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: in a playoff game. We saw it. He was the backup.

662
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: Jared admitted after it was a tough pill to swall

663
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: for the GM to do this. My theory and this

664
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: is why I didn't believe in marriage counseling. You can

665
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: only go to marriage counseling in a coach and quarterback

666
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 1: situation if there are improvements that are possibly to be made.

667
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: Jared Goff's talent, his athletic ability, his arm strength, his movement,

668
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: right is just in a ability to make certain throws

669
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: are not going to change. They are established. They are concrete. Now,

670
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,959
Speaker 1: work ethic and showing up early that stuff is improvable.

671
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: That stuff you could go to marriage counseloring before. Right,

672
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: if you're Sean McVeigh and there was a counselor an

673
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: arbitrator whoever, trying to help you two out, you'd go,

674
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: I need Jared to study more film, I need Jared

675
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: to work harder. Now. I've never heard anything intangibly wrong

676
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: with Jared, that he's not working hard enough, that he's lazy,

677
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. But I don't buy that they

678
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: are just if they thought he was maximizing his effort.

679
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: They would be down on him because he's not playing well.

680
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: That's the nature of football. But I do think they

681
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: would respect him because we've seen Philip Rivers, uh, Roethlisberger, Uh.

682
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: I guess Breeze never really had a bad season. You know,

683
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: we we've seen quarterbacks have bad seasons or bad stretches.

684
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: The coach and the GM never crushed the guy. If anything,

685
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: they double down and get his back. For them to

686
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: openly crush him on the record. The only theory that

687
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: I can come up with, because I don't have any

688
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: inside information on this one, is it it's intangible stuff.

689
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: They do not think he's trying hard enough, working hard enough,

690
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: grinding hard enough, being a good enough teammate, whatever it

691
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: may be, because if they did, I think they would understand, like,

692
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's given us everything he has, because that's

693
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: usually how football coaches operate, right, He's just he's laying

694
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: it on the line. They don't think this guy's laying

695
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: in on the line, putting all of his chips in

696
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: the middle of the table. Tom Brady obsessed, breeze obsessed,

697
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: rivers obsessed. Is Jared Goff obsessed with playing the position

698
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: right now because he's being paid like he's an all

699
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: time great? But I have never ever in recent memory

700
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: seen a GM and coach absolute, absolutely eviscerate a quarterback

701
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: that is gonna be on their team next year and

702
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: still respect him. I don't see how they have any

703
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: respect for him. Now, there's a difference between you know,

704
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: being just God, I wish we had that one back.

705
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: He's not good enough, and just like God, I don't

706
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: like looking at the guy, I don't like the guy around,

707
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: because you'd have to have some of those thoughts in

708
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: this business to publicly crush a guy like they are.

709
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: You can't convince me otherwise because Colin's theory on the

710
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: asking for the pay cut, in what fucking world is

711
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: Jared Goff given money back because if the if the

712
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: roles were reversed, the team wouldn't give any money back.

713
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: The team would if his contract was Jimmy Garoppolos, Jared

714
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: Goff would be a lock to either get traded or cut.

715
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: It would be a lock. If they could cut him,

716
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: they would cut him yesterday. They can't. It makes no sense.

717
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: We just saw them do at to Todd Gurley. Now,

718
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: the one thing with Todd they never publicly crushed him

719
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: right because they knew the knee. The knee was just

720
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: an issue. He like had an excuse. They saw him

721
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: when he was great, and then they saw him on

722
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: his knee was messed up and it sucked, and they

723
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: just cut him. The Jared Goffs situation feels like there's

724
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: something a little below the surface and I'm waiting, I'm

725
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: keeping my eyes, just my head on a swivel, for

726
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: a story to come out, for an article to come out.

727
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: You know, he just wasn't getting there early enough, or

728
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, some of his teammates just wasn't feeling you know,

729
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: his effort. You know they thought he you know, he

730
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: kind of tapped out, you know, week six or something

731
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: other than that. It won't it doesn't make any sense.

732
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: This is unheard of. Find me where coaching GM don't

733
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,959
Speaker 1: do this. I've been forwarding it to so many people.

734
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: It's like, can you believe less Need said this? Yeah, yeah,

735
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: we'll see. We don't know. Basically like, yeah, we can't

736
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: stand this guy. I mean it's entertaining for me because

737
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: I it gives me something to talk about. But every

738
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: quote I read from Rams, whether it Shawn McVeigh or

739
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: less Neat, I'm just like, I can't believe he just

740
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: said that. And if I'm Jared Goff, I mean I

741
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: don't understand how to come to any other conclusion. But

742
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: these guys can't stand me. Okay, let's dive into the

743
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: Middlecoff mail back, you guys know the drill at John Middlecoff.

744
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: Hey mate, what if he's from Australia. Question for the Pod.

745
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: Does the NFL have any form of second tier league

746
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: like the NBA or Major League Baseball does with the

747
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: G League or Triple A in most sports like soccer

748
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: over here in Australia. I was right. We have secondary

749
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: leagues where young guys can develop and get more physically mature.

750
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: For example, if the Packers draft Jordan Love and have

751
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: him sit not dressed for a whole season, he would

752
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: still be playing in the second tier game. Instead of

753
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: being worthless to them this season, he would still be

754
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: getting game development. If the NFL doesn't have anything like this,

755
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: why wouldn't work? Would it just be too many people

756
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: in the roster? Sorry for the long question, Love the pot. Well,

757
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: they do, and it's called college football. So you are

758
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: they developed guys from eighteen to twenty two and then

759
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: you pick and choose in the draft. You know, given

760
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: your options at the time, who you want. The Packers

761
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: picked Jordan Love, a major, major project, and the way

762
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: you get him ready is then through practice in preseason games.

763
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: The problem with so they do not have a secondary league.

764
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: And these leagues that have existed, the a F, the XFL,

765
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, the NFL would not give them Jordan's Love.

766
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: Part of the problem in football is I could not

767
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: take a first round player who was not playing on

768
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: my team, using Jordan Loves as an example, and put

769
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: him in some random league even if there was what

770
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: if he broke his leg? What scheme are we running?

771
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: Who's blocking for them? So, you know, it's just the

772
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: developmental league is college football and then practice. It's just

773
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: the way the NFL works, and that will never change.

774
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: I actually think college football is a you know, a

775
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: huge help to the sport and popularity of football. Hey,

776
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: John Love the show. Why did Mike Petton call cover

777
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: one man before the half on Scotty Miller's TV Catch

778
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: the Dude runs a four three nine? Kevin King didn't

779
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: have a shot. Why is nobody making a big big

780
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: deal about this play call? Will Redman playing in the

781
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: middle of the field, had no chance for over the

782
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 1: top help wasn't even on the screen when Scotty Miller

783
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 1: caught it. Total New York Jets call. In the biggest

784
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: moment of Mike Petton's career. Listen, Mike Petton hasn't been

785
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: good for a couple of years. You know, somehow he's

786
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: still employed there. Uh if I remember correctly, wasn't Rex

787
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: Ryan's always playing man coverage, right, that's their deal. Now.

788
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: It's easy to do when you have Reva's right, they

789
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: had really good corners on some those great Jets teams

790
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: that went to the a f C Championship game. Camaradi

791
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: and Revas you could just man up. Uh, you can't

792
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: do that with with Kevin King, who just you know,

793
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: an average player. So yeah, I mean it's just you

794
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: can't allow a touchdown there. I don't pretend to be

795
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, Dick Lebo here, but in that situation with

796
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: not much time on the clock, you know, prevent defense

797
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: and just playing a little off wouldn't kill you, right,

798
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: I would put everyone back. You cannot allow a touchdown there.

799
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: And the reason we're not talking about that play is

800
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said a bunch of ship after the game.

801
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: That's the reason that play was killer. They were up

802
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: fourteen to ten and the Packers. If you just go

803
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: seventeen to ten and you're getting the ball, okay to

804
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: give up a touchdown one to ten, then come out

805
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: of the half Aaron Jones fumbles is ten. They lost

806
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: thirty one to twenty six touchdowns. The difference in the

807
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: game awful, awful, awful awful. Wanted to get your thoughts

808
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: on public criticism of Golf by the Rams. Do you

809
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: think that this might be a tactic to use a

810
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: trade bait for Watson, Stafford for one of the other

811
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks under contract but available. Million next year is not

812
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: a lot for a young quarterback, but they may have

813
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: They may not think too much of Golf. No, they

814
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: probably don't. It might have a chance to be better talent.

815
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: But to get a better talent and Stafford, we're a

816
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: better playmaker and Watson, where do you think it's a

817
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: money ploy? So the question is basically what we talked

818
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: about earlier with Golf. I just don't think they like them,

819
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: and I think they're stuck and they have no access

820
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: to any of these players. Goth doesn't have any trade value,

821
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 1: they don't have the ability to, they don't have pay

822
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: I don't really know what the Rams are doing. I

823
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: just know they can't stand Jared Goff like that. That

824
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: much is clear. They openly talk about it. They can't

825
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: stand him. Question for the pod or just in general.

826
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: How sick do the Dolphins feel and how much does

827
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: it reflect on the decision makers that they picked two

828
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: over Herbert? All this talk of giving up to uh

829
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: In multiple picks to get to Sean. If they had

830
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: just picked Herbert last year, they would be set for

831
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: ten plus years. Must keep them awake at night. It

832
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 1: has to be one of the biggest, I mean, most

833
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: devastating decisions you'll ever make. Now they here's where they

834
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: are lucky. They have the number three overall pick. Deshaun Watson.

835
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: You would think would want to play there. I know

836
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: it's been reported he has. You have access to get him.

837
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: You can trade to a and get another quarterback, But

838
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: there is no you know, guarantee that that guy is

839
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: gonna sniff being Justin Herbert. Right, if they take Trey Lance,

840
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, Zack Wilson, the chance of that guy's of

841
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert seemed slim, did none? Right? I mean, Justin

842
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: Herbert's already one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

843
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: We all make decisions, man, and at the time, I

844
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: don't think anyone in any business makes a decision that

845
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: they don't feel is the best possible decision. At that moment,

846
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: they believed that Tool was better than Herbert. I was

847
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: told the Chargers had to above Herbert. No one knew

848
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 1: Herbert was gonna be this good. That can't be argued.

849
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think a lot of us thought

850
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: he had all this talent, but how good he was

851
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: as a rookie was mind blowing. But that's all out

852
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: the window. We're in two thousand one. He is this

853
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 1: good to it really struggled, and there's not a fan,

854
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,439
Speaker 1: there's not a you know, a team that would take

855
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: two over Herbert. So it's it's just devastating. I don't know.

856
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: They're lucky. Their team is good, but them we just

857
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: talked about it with Sean. The most important player by

858
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: a mile is the quarterback. So you can have this

859
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: really talented team nine ten eleven wins. You see what

860
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: the Colts they don't have a quarterback, so they're gonna

861
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 1: have to probably get desperate and make some crazy play

862
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 1: for Stafford or Deshaun Watson and give up all their picks.

863
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 1: It's just it sucks. If I was a Dolphins fan,

864
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: I don't even think i'd blame him. I'd just be

865
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 1: like God, we just sometimes you need a little luck

866
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 1: to fall your way. No one blame them for taking

867
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: too over Herbert. That's where it's hard to totally crush him.

868
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: You can't crush him because everyone had too above Herbert.

869
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: I guess not everybody, but it was just universally accepted.

870
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: The job though, as a GM or the head coach

871
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: is not to worry about what's universally accepted. To get

872
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: it the right player and they took the wrong player.

873
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 1: There's just it's it is what it is. At this point,

874
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: you just have to try to fix the problem and

875
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's necessarily possible. Uh appreciate everyone listening.

876
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: Enjoy the weekend. No football for the first time, you know,

877
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: in like six months. That sucks, but we'll just have

878
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: to keep our head up and uh yeah, just have

879
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: a nice relaxing weekend and I will see everyone next week. Godspeed,
