1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: The volume What is going on Everybody? John middlecoff three

2
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: and now podcast. Back in the saddle at the office,

3
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: got my normal equipment, feeling good. We actually were supposed

4
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: to come back today, but you know, when you're on

5
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: vacation slash, you're kind of going home. It's kind of

6
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: like a obligation sometimes the things you gotta do, so

7
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: you just get pretty worn out. Long time, a lot

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: of sun, a lot of lake, a few golf rounds,

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: and now back on the grind. So we're gonna talk

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: a little football because I didn't do I only did one.

11
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: I haven't done a football podcast. I think the last

12
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: time was before the fourth of July. And it was

13
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: just like a little mailbag. Some stories over the last

14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: couple of days last week that I saw. I was like, God,

15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: I kind of want to talk about mahomes Fat. I

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: was like, that is right up my alley. Travis Kelce

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: is he shot physically. Veach had some comments talk about

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: that as well. Dion Sanders was at the Big twelve

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: media day saying some things The Quarterback, the Netflix show

20
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: is out, and Kirk Cousins had some regrets on signing

21
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: with the Falcons. Talk about that as well as mailbag

27
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: not far away. Hell. I think the forty nine ers

28
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: rookies report in five days seems insane to me, but

29
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: they can't be alone. There's got to be a decent

30
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: amount of teams rookies showing up over the course of

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,440

00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: most of you, a podcaster, a Kansas City radio host,

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: or honestly, I didn't really care who said it. It

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: just clearly went pretty viral. I didn't have the energy

65
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: to like search the guy's background cousin fairness to this guy,

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: it had been out there in the world before that.

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the summer can just be fat. In my

68
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: first reaction is the picture that went viral. Honestly, I

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: didn't think it looked bad. If that is considered fat,

70
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: then we are all all of us normal human beings

71
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: in society. I don't even think obese is a strong

72
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: enough way to describe the majority of Americans if Patrick

73
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes is fat. But on a serious note, when it

74
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: comes to quarterbacks, being fat, is that okay? Like can

75
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: they be a little overweight if you think about it.

76
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: There are certain positions in football where having a gut

77
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: or extra weight is extremely important. Obviously offensive line we

78
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: see it all the time. We're bigger players. Guys weighing

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: three three d and twenty pounds retire and they either

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: go one or two ways. But a lot of them

81
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: lose a lot of weight and the first thing they

82
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: tell you is like, that wasn't my natural weight. I

83
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: needed it to use as an anchor. A lot of

84
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: defensive linemen, especially defensive tackles. They usually don't cut like

85
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: some of the offensive linemen, but they are taking on

86
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: and carrying weight that isn't natural because of the position.

87
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: Yet I remember, like when I first got to the Eagles,

88
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: I think there was a conditioning test and a guy

89
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: like DeShawn Jackson. I have no clue if in twenty

90
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: ten he was training in the off season like he

91
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: was Jerry Rice. But the reality is he did not

92
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: need to. He was a genetic freak. He weighed like

93
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy pounds, no fat on his body,

94
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: and could show up and pass conditioning tests with ease.

95
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: Most defensive backs are like that as well. If they

96
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: take off their shirt. Wide receivers defensive backs the overwhelming

97
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: I would say ninety nine point nine percent of them

98
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: are gonna be what we would consider in society as shredded.

99
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: These guys don't have body fat. It's why when guys

100
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: like a Deebo Samuel people can be critical, like God,

101
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: is he fat? Because wide receivers never are. And I've

102
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: always defended Deebo. His body type is actually much more

103
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: like a running back who let's face it, running backs

104
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: body types very but linebacker is a position where if

105
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: you ever say like that linebacker is fat going to

106
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: be a problem. Their job is literally to run around

107
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: and make tackles, chase guys, run with guys. They have

108
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: to be in good shape, and obviously most are. Quarterback

109
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: is not that I don't pay my quarterback. I don't

110
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: scout my quarterback. I don't need my quarterback to have abs. Honestly,

111
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: that is completely irrelevant. My quarterback, especially a guy like

112
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, is literally paid. When it's twenty to twenty

113
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter against the Baltimore Ravens, against the

114
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, against the Buffalo Bills, can you keep the

115
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: drive going on third and six? And, as he's answered

116
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: for seven eight years, fuck yes I can. So when

117
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: it comes to quarterback, I don't pay for abs. I

118
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: don't pay for body mass index. I pay for completions.

119
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: I pay for leadership, I pay for toughness, and ultimately

120
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: I pay for him to lead my team to wins.

121
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: He's the most important player in the entire sport and

122
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: has been now since Tom Brady essentially retired, And just

123
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: like the guys behind him, Lamar Jackson's kind of unique

124
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: right because he is a running quarterback. I have to

125
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: break down the percentages. It's obviously changes year to year,

126
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: and he probably ran I would just take an educated

127
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: gas and on the stats in front of me. A

128
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: little less the last couple of years than the first

129
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: couple of years. But I remember a couple of years

130
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: ago he said he was watching himself on film and

131
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,559
Speaker 1: he said he looks slow and he lost some weight.

132
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: That's a huge part of his arsenal, and it is

133
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen as well. But I've seen pictures of

134
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen with a shirt off. I wouldn't exactly call

135
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: him mister Olympia against Arnold Schwarzenaker in his prime. Joe

136
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Burrow isn't going to pass many like front pages of

137
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: the magazine with a shirt off, because that doesn't matter.

138
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: No one talks about that. We have seen some quarterbacks

139
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: who are quote unquote shredded, and that's not really what

140
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: people are looking for. Why. I actually Tom Brady proved this,

141
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: looking for more flexibility pliability. So when I saw Patrick

142
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes and this guy crushing him for being fat, my

143
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: first reaction was, who gives a shit? Cause, like most industries,

144
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: especially a lot of the ones that you guys work

145
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: in you're paid to produce. That's literally all that matters.

146
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: If having abs led to more wins on the football field,

147
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: then the conversation would be different. Clearly that's not the case.

148
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: So I just thought it was kind of funny because

149
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: I have never once since I have been around football,

150
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: and what's twenty twenty five, So I mean, we're not

151
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: far away from going on twenty years to being around coaches,

152
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: to being on around scouts, to being around people that

153
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: cover football, to going to practices, going to games. For

154
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: fifteen plus years now, I have never ever heard anyone

155
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: bring up, yeah, we don't really like this guy because

156
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: we don't see his abs. No one cares, and no

157
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: one more specifically than a guy that I would say

158
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: early on in his career, his numbers were just mind blowing.

159
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: The thing that has defined Patrick Mahomes over the last

160
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: couple of years is like, it's kind of hard to

161
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: quantify what he brings to the table. We have watched

162
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: these games over the last couple of years when their

163
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: offense has been way less explosive, when actually they've really

164
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: been more of a defensive team. When they're head coach

165
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: who loves to pass has had to relent a little bit.

166
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: Why because some of their strengths on given matchups have

167
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: been running the ball. We have watched this guy make

168
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: key play after key play in the biggest moments, so

169
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: if he is a little chubby, honestly, that makes him

170
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: more relatable. So props to Mahomes for living life, winning games,

171
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: and good luck. This week at the ACC there was

172
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: also speaking of the Chiefs. Another story. You know, when

173
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: you're out of the mix, there's some stories you're like,

174
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna do a podcast to day, but God,

175
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that is Brett Veach, I

176
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: guess had some comments to Adam Teischer, who has covered

177
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: the Chiefs I feel like for decades, and I saw

178
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of people were like, god, FECh, he's being

179
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: critical of kel When I was flying home, I was like,

180
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: I need something to listen to, and I just clicked

181
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: on YouTube while our flight was delayed by like thirty minutes,

182
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: so I had a little time to kill and I

183
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: was looking like, what should I listen to on the

184
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: plane and I saw Kelsey Brothers that the podcast New

185
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: Heights came up and they were talking to buddy my

186
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: name Matt Naggy. So I was like, you know, that's

187
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a good listen for my hour and a

188
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: half flight home. So I downloaded that bad Boy and

189
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: listened to it and one thing and I listened. The

190
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: Kelseys have had some really cool interviews over the years,

191
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: and Travis has been very very when you watch that,

192
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: his passion, his love, especially when they have on someone

193
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: associated with the Chiefs, whether it's Coach Reid, they've had Spags, Naggy, Veach,

194
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: you name it. He feels very very indebted to them,

195
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: just like they feel very very indebted to him. They

196
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: have a partnership. We see the conversation going on right

197
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: right now with Lebron James. Lebron James has always like

198
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: he didn't want partnerships, and in fairness to bout basketball,

199
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: the star player has more juice. But he never approached

200
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: it like Steph Curry. He approached it like you're gonna

201
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: do exactly what I say when I say it, no

202
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: question if ans or butts, Like this is gonna be

203
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: on my terms. And for the first time in Lebron

204
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: James's career, the team's like, yeah, we don't really give

205
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: a shit anymore, and he's rattled. He clearly is well.

206
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: A lot of people, especially in football, have very good

207
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: working relationships with the team. We saw Brady for two decades,

208
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: even though him in Belichick butted heads, they had a

209
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: great partnership financially and on the field. You've seen it

210
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes. His working relationship with Andy Reid, Brett Veach,

211
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: the Hunt family is fantastic. It is a partnership. And

212
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: it's so different with Travis Kelsey. So when Brett Veach

213
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: says these comments, I say, god, Brett Veach kind of

214
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: questioned him. He essentially says, well, we've all seen it

215
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: the last few years. This is Veach, this is on

216
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey. There are periods throughout the season where you're like,

217
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: this might be it. But when the games are the

218
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: most important and the lights are the brightest, he finds

219
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: it somewhere. But I think for a lot of players,

220
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: in situations where you're an established player, where you're you know,

221
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: an All Star or a Pro Bowl or a star,

222
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: gms and coaches tread very lightly. They don't want to

223
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: piss anyone off. Well, when you have a very good

224
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: working relationship with someone and I saw this for years

225
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: when I was in the Bay Area with Steph Curry

226
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: and the Warriors. Hell I saw it in baseball with

227
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: Buster Posey and the San Franco Giants. You can be

228
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: honest and not worry about how things are going to

229
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: be taken. In this modern day media climate where people

230
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: take things and run with it, they get aggregated and

231
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: it just becomes you're on the first you know, the

232
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: front line of first take going viral over a comment

233
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: that actually wasn't the way it was said. But I

234
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: think the power in the chiefs and this gets back

235
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: to you know, Mahomes being fat and Travis Kelsey shot

236
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you you see this when if you

237
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: watch the Kelsey Naggi interview. Is the relationships in which

238
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: they have from the coaching staff and the front office

239
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: to the players. And I'm talking with the star players

240
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: and they're all on the same page and feelings don't

241
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: get hurt wide because everyone's been coached hard, they've been

242
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: through the battles, they've seen the highs and they've seen

243
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: the lows over a long period of time, and it's

244
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: one of their biggest advantages moving forward. And it's something

245
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: I think the Bills have built up. I think the

246
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: Ravens have tried to build up. They just haven't been

247
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: able to get over the hump in terms of winning

248
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: that game. But it's I think we see a lot

249
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: of people asking this, like how the Chiefs. I was

250
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: at dinner the other night and I was asked, like,

251
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: do you think there's no chance? Right, there's the first

252
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: time I'm not one to say that. Could the games

253
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: be rigged for the Chiefs? Could they? I was like, no,

254
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: they're not. They're winning all these close games for a reason.

255
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: They have an enormous advantage. They have cohesion, they have

256
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: chem street, and they have the same guys on the

257
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: team now for a long, long period of time. Most

258
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: teams cannot say that because most teams don't even give

259
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: their star players a third contract. That's pretty abnormal in

260
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: this day and age. They usually move on after seven

261
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: or eight years. I'm not talking the quarterback, but I'm

262
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: literally talking everyone else around him and the Chiefs group.

263
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Mames is the newest guy. Chris Jones was there before him. Obviously,

264
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey has been there since twenty thirteen. So you

265
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: have this group of players, you have a lot of

266
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: group of coaches who have been there for a long

267
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: period of time. So when you wonder, it's like, got

268
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: of this team's offense, what's going Wait, it went fifteen

269
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: to two and they actually through the last game of

270
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: the season. It's because of that and for a long

271
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: period of time before free agency, the best teams had that.

272
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: Right when I was a kid, the same dudes on

273
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers when I was born were still

274
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: there when I was ten years old. Right, if you

275
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: were a fan that grew up in the seventies, you

276
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: watch your team have the same group of players for

277
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: a long time, no different than the eighties. That's not

278
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: the case anymore with this modern day business. That is

279
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: the salary cap, which is these contracts, which is just

280
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: free agency and just overall player movement. And the Chiefs

281
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: now it's gonna come to an end, right, Patrick Mahomes

282
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: is going to outly live Travis Kelce. If you told

283
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: me this last year is Travis. I think he probably

284
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: would have retired if they would have won that game,

285
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: But more than likely this is his last year. Because

286
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: I have a hard time and I would never say never,

287
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: but seeing Travis play for another team, and if you

288
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: watch the way he talks, like I feel he thinks

289
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: his connection. It's almost like a Julian Edelman type situation

290
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: where it's like, when I'm done, I'm done, But this

291
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: is my squad right now. Could be wrong, and my

292
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: guess is this is his last year on the Chiefs,

293
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: because there comes to a point where it's like the

294
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs can't keep rolling this out. We don't do, you know,

295
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: scholarships in football. But I also think, like they're on,

296
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: these guys talk all the time, so it's just it's

297
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: kind of refreshing to see that.

298
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: All right, folks, this is insane. For the first time ever,

299
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: We've got a full blown all women's boxing mega event

300
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: going down in New York City, two title fights, same night.

301
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: Let's go and if you're like me and love the action,

302
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: DraftKings Force Book is where it's at. We're talking Katie

303
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: Taylor versus Amanda Serrano, the Trilogy fight, Absolute legends. Katie's

304
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: putting together her super lightweight belt on the line and

305
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: you know Serrano's bringing the heat. But don't sleep on

306
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: the co main event, Alicia the bomb Bumgardner Explosive power

307
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: is taken on the undefeated WBA interim champ Jennifer Miranda,

Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to watch yet. I watched

330
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: last year in you know, Maria loved Cole's cash Kirk Cousins,

331
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: it was just refreshing. It actually really made him very likable.

332
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: And this year having Joe Burrow on in Jared Goff like,

333
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch over some time over the next

334
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But obviously what was going to come

335
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: out if Cousins was involved was surely he was going

336
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: to be asked and when I say asked, obviously producers

337
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: play a role in what you talk about. But one

338
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: of the conversations like what the hell happened? Like how

339
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: did you sign with this team? And then they drafted

340
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons and it gave you the cliff note version.

341
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of you have seen this clip

342
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: go viral on Instagram, on Twitter, on TikTok. Cousins essentially said,

343
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: if I knew that they were going to draft a quarterback,

344
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: I probably just would have stayed with Minnesota, who was

345
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: offering a lot less money, even though they had been

346
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: very candid we were going to take a quarterback and

347
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: everyone kind of knew. It felt like in February they

348
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: loved JJ McCarthy. Remember they were getting two first round picks,

349
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: to which we thought they were going to move way up.

350
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: They ended up just waiting and he essentially felt them.

351
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: But Cousins said, like, listen, I just would have stayed.

352
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: And I do wonder this. Two things. One, Kirk, they

353
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: offered you ninety million dollars. No one blames you for

354
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: taking that money. I've been saying this forever. When the

355
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons signed Cousins, they did not have the intention

356
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: of drafting Michael Pennix number eight. Overall, they did not.

357
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: They fell in love with Cousins because mid March free

358
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: agency happens. They signed Cousins, then they fell in love

359
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: with Pennix over the next four or five weeks. If

360
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: they knew they were going to draft Michael Pennix, and listen,

361
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: there was not a personal live in the National Football

362
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: League that would have said Michael Pennix wasn't going to

363
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: be there at eight. Some things, You're like, I don't

364
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: know exactly where JJ McCarthy's going to go. We all

365
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: knew in some order we knew Caleb was going one

366
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: and then wasn't going to be Jaden or Drake May,

367
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: but we knew that was going to be the top three.

368
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: Michael Penix was never going in the top ten, and

369
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: I was a Michael x fan. Really was no different

370
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: bo Nicks. Bo Nicks was never going in the top ten.

371
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: That was never gonna happen. So they would have known

372
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: if they had run their operation like most teams, this

373
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: guy was gonna be there. And this was a plug

374
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: and play, ready to go twenty four year old, twenty

375
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: five year old quarterback that had played in college for

376
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: like a fucking decade. You don't sign Cousins for ninety

377
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: million dollars to draft this guy that's on the organization.

378
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't blame Cousins for taking the money. He loves

379
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: his money rightfully, so he's in the business of football.

380
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: But it's easy to play hindsight. I would have made

381
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: a different decision. No one had any clue because the

382
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: Falcons had no freaking clue when they paid you that money.

383
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: I also, and I know it's easy to say, I

384
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: don't think Minnesota wanted him anymore because Cousins wasn't gonna

385
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: sign for like fifteen to twenty million dollars. Clearly, just

386
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: look how much money the Falcons gave him. He was

387
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: also coming off of torn Achilles. So if you look

388
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: at the people that run the Minnesota Vikings, especially their GM,

389
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: google his background. It's in a little world called the finance.

390
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: And if there was ever time to basically say we're

391
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: selling off this stock. We've had a good run here,

392
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: we're out of this business, it was when a guy

393
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: in his mid to late thirties who can't move to

394
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: begin with rips's achilles, So I know he can say,

395
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: it's like, well, they had offered me. The coach was

396
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: saying that the coach wanted you to stay. And there

397
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: have been lots of reports did the organization want you

398
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: to stay? Did the GM want you to say? I

399
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: have a hard time seeing that I really do and listen,

400
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: maybe QUESTI would dispute this, Maybe the owner would dispute this.

401
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: I'm kind of calling bs. Would they have taken him

402
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: back for fifteen twenty million dollars? Sure, but like, were

403
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: they comfortable giving a guy off a torn Achilles thirty

404
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: five to forty million dollars? Even if they were, I

405
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: haven't a one year deal. I have a hard time

406
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: seeing that. I really do, and listen, this whole situation

407
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: got weird. Still on the team. I doubt he's on

408
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: the team week one, but it's like, look at his

409
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: landing spots. Now there's a financial element to this, there's

410
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: also just an element at this current time his cousin's done,

411
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: like his cousin shot. And I think that's a fair question.

412
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: And the pushback is, well, usually your year, you're better off,

413
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: you're two off the Achilles in any sport. I just

414
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: I would have a hard time making a move for

415
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins unless I was really desperate. But listen, I

416
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: don't blame him at all for taking the insane amount

417
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: of money to the Falcons, who were kind of right

418
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: for doing it. They were completely desperate at the time too,

419
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: But if they knew what they were doing, they just

420
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: would have signed like a ten million dollar bridge quarterback

421
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: taken Penix and Panics would have started week one and

422
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: that guy would have been his backup a case keenum

423
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: Flacco like that that type Gardner Minshew that that type

424
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: of player not give the money that they gave to Cousins.

425
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: And last but not least, and I've been thinking this

426
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 1: for a while because I'm sure, like many of you,

427
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: love football, see a lot of stuff on college football

428
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: and forever it was like the recruiter of the year,

429
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: as a great recruiter, like this assistant coach, dominant recruiter.

430
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: And for those of us that like know a lot

431
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: of people in the business, you'll text someone you're like, yeah,

432
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: he's not a great coach, but holy shit, he's great

433
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: with he's great with recruiting. And working at Fresno State,

434
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: I saw some guys who were just elite recruiters, saw

435
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: some guys who were just didn't like recruiting like it was.

436
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: It's a huge part of the job. But like a

437
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: lot of industries, you can get by if you're a

438
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: great positional coach, a great coordinator, and not a great recruiter,

439
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: just like you can get by if you're a great

440
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: recruiter and not necessarily a great ex's nose guy. I

441
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: do think recruiting's kind of dead. I don't really think

442
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: it exists anymore. And even Deon Sanders, who was at

443
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: the Big twelve media day, said that, like, look at

444
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: all the teams in the playoffs and google how much

445
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: they were spending on their roster Kenny Dillingham came out

446
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: yesterday and said, like, get ready, guys, Texas Tech is

447
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: going to be really good. So I googled it. Texas

448
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: Tech had the number two transfer portal recruiting class, ahead

449
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: of teams like Miami and Oregon, who are clearly spending

450
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: a lot of coin. They had this guy named Cody Campbell.

451
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: I had to google him. I knew about the guy,

452
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: didn't knowa's name. He played there. He's now a billionaire

453
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: and he's financing their program. Their team wasn't bad last year.

454
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: They have a chance to be really good this year.

455
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: Not because Joey McGuire, who Dion actually like loves, is

456
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: some dynamic recruiter. It's because they have a lot of money.

457
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking shit about any coaches, but whenever

458
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: I see it's like, I got it, did a great

459
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: job recruiting. The only thing that matters now is like,

460
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: what are you offering the guy? Now? If both offers

461
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: are half a million dollars, he likes you more, for sure.

462
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, your relationship, your personality, you resonating with

463
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: his mom, dad, high school coach, whatever matters. But if

464
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: you say, well, I was offering six hundred grand and

465
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: the other team was offering three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

466
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: Of course you landed him, like welcome to America. So

467
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: when I see it's like, god, they did a great

468
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: job recruiting bullshit, they just have a bigger check mark.

469
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: And rightfully so like I listen, I can be Ohio

470
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: State hater, but they were great before the money. Now

471
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: they have a ton of money and they're willing to

472
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: spend it. Their roster's always gonna be good. Why they

473
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: spend a lot of it Oregon? Why did they not

474
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: fall off after nil started? Because they it works to

475
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: their advantage. That's why everyone's been scratching their head the

476
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: last couple of years. With USC. It's like, I thought,

477
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: you guys have these enormous boosters, why aren't you spending

478
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: the money? And people tell you, well, they've actually spend

479
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: it on the wrong guys. But it's like Dion's right,

480
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: like this sport is all about and this isn't you know?

481
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: Two years ago when Howie landed Saquon Barkley for twenty

482
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: seven million dollars guaranteed, it was like, guys, you know,

483
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: it's a little risky is gonna be good. I remember thinking, like, one,

484
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: that's really not that much money relative to all these

485
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: You get guards signing for fifty million. Mike mcclinchy like

486
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: three years ago, signed for fifty million dollars guaranteed. He's

487
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: like an average foot athlete, you know, mid tier right tackle.

488
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: It's like Saquon Barkley, one of the most talented players

489
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: in the league. If he's just he does need help,

490
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: like he needs a good offensive line. But if you

491
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: have a good offensive line, like that's a fucking steal.

492
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: But like, who's how he bidding against? Right? In college football,

493
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: if you do want a player and it's like a

494
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: guy like, let's just use Saquon Barkley as an example.

495
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: The equivalent of that in college football, you're gonna have

496
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: the top five ten teams with all the money bidding

497
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: for his services. So anyone in business knows the more

498
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: people you got bidding. My wife's in real estate. It's

499
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: one thing when you only got one person making an

500
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: offer on the home. Remember twenty twenty, when interest rates

501
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: for like two and a half three percent, you got

502
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: to line out the freaking door. So you had ten offers.

503
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: It's like well, they're offering this, They're offering this is

504
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, especially if you live

505
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: where I lived in California. It's like, well, they got

506
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars over asking, well, how do you

507
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: think they did that? Not based on one person, It's

508
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: based on seventeen people that want the property. And that's

509
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: what's happening in college football with a transfer portal. So

510
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: these top guys go in the transfer portal and they

511
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: have film and everyone wants them so because you know

512
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: the guy's going to be an immediate starter. And I

513
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: just think, you know, this is what college football is now.

514
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: On the flip side, the same teams have always won.

515
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: Ohio State's been winning for forty years since I was alive.

516
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: I obviously they've been winning before that, but my point

517
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: is they've been winning forever. George has been good most

518
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: of my life. Alabama had a lull before saving got there,

519
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: but I would say they are one of the more

520
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: iconic teams in the history of the sport. Coward has

521
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: said this, and he's right. The only new team who's

522
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: really thrown their hat in the ring in the Internet

523
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: age is Oregon. Why Nike Oklahoma State for a long

524
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: period of time was very very competitive. Why they had

525
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: t Boone Pickens. So if you have a big money booster,

526
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: if you have a lot of money behind you, you

527
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: have a huge advantage. And this is where as being

528
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: a smaller school guy, I feel sorry for the Boise States,

529
00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: the Fresno States, even the smaller programs in the bigger conferences,

530
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to compete because they

531
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: are not going to be in. As Katie Dillingham said it,

532
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: recruiting's dead. Retention is the new recruiting and can you

533
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: keep the players? And when you get a good player,

534
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: can you keep them? We had on Jake Dickard, who's

535
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: now the coach at Wake Forest Well, who was his

536
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: quarterback last year, the starting quarterback for Oklahoma, who they

537
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: tried to keep at Washington State. Somehow got a million

538
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: dollars to attempt to keep his services. I'm out going

539
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma. Who could blame him? If he was offered

540
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: a million dollars to stay at Washington State? What do

541
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: you think Oklahoma paid him double triple? This is just

542
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: the world we're in. So I think that college football

543
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: is going to continue to be crazy and everyone's going

544
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: to complain. But all the top teams are the ones

545
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: with the money. And whenever I see this and listen,

546
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't quite understand how exactly this salary cap is

547
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: going to work. Like, okay, twenty two million in football,

548
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: some people have said, like football gets thirteen to fifteen

549
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: million dollars. They do. If I'm at a program, it's like, well,

550
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm making ninety percent of the money and I'm only

551
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: getting sixty percent. How the fuck does that pencil? Surely doesn't.

552
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: But regardless how it ends up playing out, especially early on,

553
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna double dip. Because in the NFL, when I

554
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: get Patrick Mahomes, right, I don't have to worry about

555
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: his nil. That's on his marketing manager or agent. Right,

556
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: So when you see Patrick Mahomes with Oakley sunglasses or

557
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: on the State Farm commercial, or you see Steph Curry

558
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: with under Armour or with Callaway golf, he's doing that separately.

559
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: The team doesn't have to waste time on that. Well,

560
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: in college football, when I sign you, if I'm Georgia,

561
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: if I'm Alabama, if I'm Texas, if I'm USC I'm

562
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with both. And when I see

563
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: these headlines like whether there's gonna be a strict process

564
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: to judge the contracts of nil bull shit, because forever

565
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: it was like, you're not allowed to pay players, Yet

566
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: all over the country guys were getting paid well before

567
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: nil and rightfully so, bro It's called business, it's called capitalism.

568
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: Used to be small brown bags fulled with a decent

569
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: amount of money. Now you're talking ten x. That's and

570
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: that's just gonna be on the side of what I'm

571
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: making on the salary cap. So I think college football,

572
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to continue to complain

573
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: get the same teams beside a couple of new ones.

574
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: If you've got a billionaire former player like Texas Tech,

575
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: maybe all of a sudden, Texas Tech is going to

576
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: be the new or right there with a Texas A,

577
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: Texas A and m LSU help, maybe they surpass some

578
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 1: of these SEC teams because how do you compete against that?

579
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: And the answer is it's hard to Okay, before we

580
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: dive into the mail bag, one gigantic fugazi is obviously

581
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: depending on your skin tone. You know, I had some friends,

582
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: definitely some friends brothers who are just pale white. You

583
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: go out in the sun summer, you need to apply

584
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: basically a whole bottle of sunscreen. This isn't the healthiest thing,

585
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: but I honestly didn't wear sunscreen up until I got older.

586
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: But it used to work right even if I was

587
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: in Lake Tahoe, if I was wherever I applied sunscreen,

588
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: it would protect my skin from I don't know, peeling off.

589
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: I feel like my entire body over the next three

590
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: or four days, and I felt like over the week

591
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: that I was on the leg, hanging out, playing golf whatever.

592
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: I applied a lot of sunscreen. I understand the sun,

593
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: you're at elevation, you're sixty five, seven thousand, eight thousand

594
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: feet whatever it is. But I do wonder like sunscreen

595
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: even work. Because I'm doing fifty SPF. My feet are peeling,

596
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: my legs are peeling, I'm burn everywhere. One mistake I

597
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 1: made a long time ago when I first went bald.

598
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: I went with a buddy to the lake with his

599
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: girlfriend now wife, a bunch of her friends, and we

600
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: just we just had a good time. Booze was flowing,

601
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: hanging out. This is probably twenty eleven ish, and I

602
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: had just shaved my head, so the top of my

603
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: head had never seen the sun, and I, of course

604
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: had never put sunscreen I don't know on the top

605
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: of my head, and I didn't do it, and we're

606
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: out hanging out all day, boozing whatever, and like three

607
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 1: days later, my entire head peeled off. So ever since then,

608
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: I do take my head and my face really seriously.

609
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: But I felt like sunscreen you used to protect my body.

610
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I understand as you get older,

611
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: your skin thins, but yeah, I just I'm about Maria's.

612
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: Her entire body is about the peel and again we're

613
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: applying it. We're being health conscious and you gotta protect.

614
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Maybe you go to Lake Tahoe

615
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: just wear long pants, long sleeves and a hat even

616
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: win its ninety degrees. Okay, let's do a little mail

617
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: at JOHB Middlecoff. At JOHB Midlecoff is the Instagram fire

618
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: in those dms, get your questions answered here on the

619
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: show mail bag question what do you think a realistic

620
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: season is for the Bears? I feel like with the

621
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: weapons and Ben Johnson being the next Shanahan has a

622
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: high ceiling. Caleb is obviously talented and they fix the line.

623
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: Could they win eleven games and win the division if

624
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: everyone beats each other up? I would say when the

625
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: division feels really, really strong, I think it's fair to say,

626
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: best case scenario, defense should be good, but it's you know,

627
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: it's a new coordinator. The defense was good last year

628
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: with Ibra Flus, So you get a new voice. I'm

629
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: sure you get some new terminology. You just get some

630
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: new ideas thoughts. But let's they got good players on defense. Offensively, also,

631
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: you know everything's new, so there's just a transition process,

632
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: given how much pressure is on them. But if you

633
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: just say they get let's say they're way better the

634
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: second half of the season. I think ten eleven games

635
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: making the playoffs is very much a fair expectation. I

636
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: think if you tell me that the Bears win the division,

637
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson's one percent the coach of the year, I

638
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: just don't see the scenario. If you tell me right

639
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: now the Bears win the NFC North, He's I just

640
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: don't see how you could have a better coaching job.

641
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they were atrocious last year. I mean they were.

642
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: It's a lot of the same players, so I know

643
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: they've added a couple new offensive linemen, but they're still

644
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: gonna depend on DJ Moore. They're still gonna depend on

645
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 1: Caleb obviously, you know the defensive personnel. Their star players

646
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: haven't changed. So ten and eleven, if he won eleven games,

647
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: you could argue that even if they were like the

648
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: six seed coach of the year. So I think that's

649
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: fair me realistic. I would say eight to nine. I

650
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: think it's a big transit won. The division's really hard,

651
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: Detroit's gonna be healthy to start the season. The Packers

652
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: fair not, I mean kind of own you. The Minnesota

653
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: Vikings roster is just better and they've they've won before.

654
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: That's another thing. These other teams have won, right These

655
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: other teams have won and ben winning. The Packers have

656
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: been winning, the Lions have been winning, The Vikings have

657
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: won two of the last three years. One. You know, so,

658
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: I think you're asking a bunch of guys who you

659
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: have a ton of talents and some new guys who

660
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: have definitely won, just to now start winning. And that's

661
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: a pretty big step to take. Question for the back.

662
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: First off, congratulations on the pregnancy. My wife's pregnant breaking news.

663
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: Put it out on social media. But yeah, she's been

664
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: pregnant for a little while, so twelve weeks I guess

665
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: the end of the starting the second trimester, I think

666
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: is what they say. So congratulations to me for not

667
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: really doing much. But swimmers can swim. Other than that,

668
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: she's way harder for her. Appreciate that. Second, what are

669
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: your NFL Conference Championship games predictions? As a Bucks fan?

670
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: I feel confident the boys can get rolling at the

671
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: end and can lead us to glory. Uh, it's a

672
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: good question. I would say when you look at the

673
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: top of the NFC, you would say the Eagles should

674
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: be the favorite. They are the favorite, they deserve to

675
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: be the favorite. They're team stacked. Then there's the group

676
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: of like the Lions are pretty damn good, question marks,

677
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: new coordinators, vikings, pretty damn good, coaches, never won a

678
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: playoff game, new quarterback packers like what's their health situation?

679
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: Who is Jordan? Love? The Rams? We like the Rams,

680
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: we like McVeigh. It's not like they've been winning thirteen

681
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: fourteen games. They won ten games last year and you

682
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: look at statistically like they weren't as good of a

683
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: defense is the way they've talked about now. One thing

684
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: the comp I've made. I remember watching Khalil Max rookie season.

685
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: I think he had four and a half sacks, but

686
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: if you watched him, he was good. You're like, I

687
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: don't want the numbers for you. This guy's coming. And

688
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: then over the next couple of years he was coming.

689
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: And I think that's Jared Verse. So it's like Jared

690
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: Vers this year, is he like one of the best

691
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: players on defense in the league, Because that kind of

692
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: changes you. Stafford's health is pretty big. The forty nine

693
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: ers like, what's their deal? So I think, yeah, I

694
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: think it's pretty wide open. I really do. I mean,

695
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles have a new offensive coordinator. The Eagles have

696
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: four offensive coordinators four years of Jalen Hurts, so that

697
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: that would be the Commanders like, what's how does it

698
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: come together with Tunzel with Debo? Did they figure out

699
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 1: the McLaurin situation. I think there's a lot of good

700
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. It's kind of just how you know,

701
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: injuries obviously play a huge factor. I mean that derailed

702
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: the Lions' chances, right, it really did. How you're playing

703
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: toward the end of the season. Look at the Rams

704
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: last year obviously the Washington Do you get hot at

705
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: the right time? Does your quarterback get hot? So it's

706
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: what makes football pretty cool, right Like I saw the

707
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: thunder have given out like a billion dollars in the

708
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: last week. Every human being alive is gonna pick the

709
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: Thunder next year, rightfully. So we have this core of

710
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: young guys and rosters loaded. And basketball has always kind

711
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: of been like that. It's like, yeah, there's three or

712
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: four teams that can win it. It's kind of the

713
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: way it is. Maybe on a good year five or six,

714
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: Like in football, there are the Chiefs are gonna have

715
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: a year where they don't win in the playoffs, right

716
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: They're just gonna have a year second round where they lose.

717
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: It happened to Belichick and Brady. So the Bills, the Ravens,

718
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: these other teams, the Chargers in the Broncos. I just

719
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: saw Najie Harris. I had a little firework incident. I

720
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: don't maybe I'm gonna sound like the old guy. I

721
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: used to love fireworks, firecrackers, Like most young kids had

722
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 1: a little pyro side. Once you get to a certain age,

723
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: like I don't quite get it. And we have specific

724
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: situations in football with JPP blowing off his hands. I

725
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: just think the risk. Where I'm from, actually around the

726
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: Sacramento area, there was a fire work because in California

727
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: you can't sell like M eight's and the good shit.

728
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: There was a storage facility that somehow something went very wrong.

729
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: I think this was last week July second or July third,

730
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: and it looked like, I mean, like a Middle East

731
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: war and seven people are I remember last I saw

732
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: the story We're Missing AKA Dead. So I just and

733
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: I get it if you got young kids to do

734
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: like some of the shitty fireworks to have a good time.

735
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: But I just I just don't see the risk first reward.

736
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't quite understand it. My question is regarding the Niners. Obviously,

737
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: Perty signs the big deal this offseason, but since Kyle

738
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: has been the head coach, they've never had a high

739
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: end quarterback. They've been successful building a team around the quarterback,

740
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: then paying the quarterback, then paying the quarterback doesn't screw

741
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: it up. My question to you is what does Kyle

742
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: value more high end quarterback play or focus on drafting

743
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 1: and developing the full roster. Do you think he trusts

744
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: Purty to get the team into the playoffs, or does

745
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: he think he needs draft capital to help build a

746
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: team around his quarterback. Again, I mean, Kyle is so

747
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 1: scarred from that Trey Lance situation where he tried to

748
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 1: manipulate and creates a small school like Josh Allen Lamar Jackson,

749
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: guy who's a third stringer. I'm honestly shocked still in

750
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: the NFL. So Kyle thinks brock Purty's really good. Listen,

751
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: rock Party is good. He's somewhere between eight to twelve

752
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: On given weeks. He can play like one of the

753
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: better quarterbacks in the league, and he can have weeks

754
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: where he's not as good, and he has some flaws,

755
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: but he's a really good starting quarterback and if you

756
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: do a good job building your team, you can win

757
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: with him. I've said it forever, Like look at the

758
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: Eagles and Alliance that they're paying their quarterbacks a ton

759
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: of money. Nobody views either guy like a top five quarterback.

760
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: Nobody Jalen Hurts last year, halfway through the season, people like,

761
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? What's wrong with their

762
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: passing game? Brandon Graham's likeyeah, he, Jan Brown and Jalen

763
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: Hurts hate each other. Just kidding. Jared Goff. People are like, uh,

764
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got some limitations. You gotta protect them.

765
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: But no one views either guy's top five quarterback. Jalen

766
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: Hurts had played like a top five quarterback the last

767
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: two weeks of the season against the Commanders and then

768
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. But in terms of like, no

769
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: one ranks him in the top five and he makes

770
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: a ton of money. They build the team around him.

771
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: That's this football. Joe Montana played on some of the

772
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: most talented teams in the history of the league. You

773
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: gotta do a good job building around him. Rock Purty's

774
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: good enough if you build a team, said forever. The

775
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: pressure is on John and Kyle. Now Rock Purty showing

776
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: you who he is. If a team's good, he can win.

777
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: Won a lot of games going back to college. Guy's

778
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: a winning player. Is he Mahomes or Josh Allen or

779
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. No, he's not Joe Burrow. We know that. Like,

780
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: who's comparing him to that first take? I don't know.

781
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they're all in on party. This

782
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: is no they're no drafting pretty fails. Kyle's gonna be

783
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: done with the forty nine ers in the NFL. Do

784
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: head coaches spend much time coaching up individual players or

785
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: are they mainly interacting with the coaching staff and allowing

786
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: them to micro manage the players. I can't speak for

787
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: every coach I haven't seen. If you go around the league,

788
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, I've never seen John Harbaugh at a practice.

789
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: I've never seen Sean Payton, never seen Jean Payton at

790
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: a practice. So I've never seen these guys at practice.

791
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: But my experience Andy Reid, Kyle Shanahan, Jim Harbaugh, some

792
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: of the Raiders guys, Dennis Allen, Jack del Rio. I

793
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: think it changes, right if you are a former player

794
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: like Harball or Jack del Rio linebacker. Sometimes they are

795
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: just gonna be inclined to gravitate, especially if they're not

796
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: the play caller, to gravitate toward their position, and then

797
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: they kind of give them tips. But the CEO, head coach,

798
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: his main gig is kind of like which is pretty

799
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: clear the overseer. Now, they talk to individual players, but

800
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of their job when they see

801
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: things they don't like, are kind of dictating that to

802
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: the assistant coach or dictating that to the coordinator. And

803
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: then you get guys like if you're Kyle Shanahan or

804
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: Sean McVay or Mike McDonald and Seattle like the coordinator

805
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: of even though you're the head coach or the coordinator,

806
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: you spend much more time coaching up individual players of

807
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: what you want because you lead, like Travis Kelce talks

808
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: watching the podcast talks a lot about like Andy Reid,

809
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: running the installs. So if you're running the installs of

810
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: a play, all the guys are looking at you. You

811
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: are coaching them up on what you want them to do.

812
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: So I think it's very pacific. You know, a guy

813
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: like a guy like I'm trying to think of an

814
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: example who'd be a coach, a Tomlin or Harbaugh, either

815
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: the Harbab brothers, Sirianni. They're not installing the place right,

816
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: but they are active at meetings, They're obviously active at practice.

817
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: It's it's probably somewhere that leads much more to dictating

818
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: it to your coaches than it is if you are

819
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator of the team. Right, if you're Ben Johnson,

820
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: you're coaching it up. You are spending a lot of

821
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 1: time with with Caleb with what you want. Where Rome

822
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: or DJ are breaking off the route. You know, it's

823
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: like you are dictating, Like you watch Kyle practice, like

824
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,720
Speaker 1: he's telling who to go where. Maybe not at practice

825
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: as much, you know, because in the NFL, you know,

826
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: high school or even college, you probably spend more time

827
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: at practice specific teaching. I think in the NFL you're

828
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: trying to rattle off, especially in training camp. I think

829
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: it happens more in the season when you have less guys.

830
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,280
Speaker 1: But in training camp it's a lot of just rapid

831
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: fire run the plays. Maybe if something is a really

832
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: screws up, you run it again, and then you teach

833
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: in the walk through the meeting room. I think in

834
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: the regular season there's a lot more less players. You know,

835
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: in training camp there's ninety guys out there. There's a

836
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: lot going on. Regular season, you kind of have a

837
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: decent idea who's gonna play, who's not, and I mean

838
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: you have a really good idea, and then you kind

839
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: of can dictate a practice. The media is not allowed

840
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: out there. You're installing specific plays against specific teams. So

841
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: it's I think it depends on the time of year.

842
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: OTA's two, like there's a lot of like that's where

843
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: most of the teaching from a from a standpoint of

844
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: things are a little slower once training camp comes, like

845
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: you better know the plays or one, especially if you're young,

846
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: you're just gonna get lapped. So I think there are

847
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 1: a lot of variables. So that's a good question. I

848
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: think it's a hard question to ask, and it's very

849
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: very specific toward the team, the coach, the scheme, his role,

850
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 1: the age of the players. You know, it's like some

851
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: of these teams too. If you have what would be

852
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: an example here, like if you have an older player

853
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: that's been on the team for seven, eight years, ten years,

854
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: he asks you know, he spends a lot of time.

855
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: If you went to a Niner practice, you would watch

856
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: George Kittle or Kyle Uschek talking to a lot of

857
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: the younger players at training camp, kind of coaching them up,

858
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: giving them tips what to do, because Kyle is just

859
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: like next play, next group, this is what the coordinators do.

860
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: So if you I'm just using the Niers example because

861
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: I've spent the most time at their practice, you come

862
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: off the feet if you're a young linebacker and the

863
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: threes jump on you're the twos like Fred Warner or

864
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: green Law would have go over you and Maye Pray

865
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: talk to you. So they do a lot of coaching

866
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: the veteran players, and that's that's true for whoever your

867
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: team is. Right, if you're a young wide receiver and

868
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 1: you're on the Eagles, you know you can AJ Brown

869
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: can tell you, like, hey, you know they like this

870
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: route to be broken Jalen likes this to be broken

871
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,720
Speaker 1: off at seven yards, not eight, even though the teaching

872
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: point is technically eight. You know stuff like that. A

873
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: Packer fan, where do you think Matt Lafleur in the

874
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: coaching ranks and coaching? As a Packer fan? He has

875
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: moments that are genius and then moments that leave us

876
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: all scratching our heads with game management and decision making,

877
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: even in the NFC North Am I overreacting? Yeah? I

878
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: mean I no one's gonna put him in the top five,

879
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: but he's better than and he's proven a lot. Then

880
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,439
Speaker 1: I don't know the majority of the league, right, they're

881
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: thirty two coaches, so he's easily better than half. Like

882
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: cut off the sixteen. Now we're fifteen on. I think

883
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: he's probably closer to like eight or nine than he

884
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: is fifteen. And like you said, he has had moments

885
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: where went into Dallas and beat the shit out of

886
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys on the road. Last year was tough. I mean,

887
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback wasn't playing that well. Injuries in that Eagle game.

888
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what he could have done. He's had

889
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: some moments in the pass he would like back. Obviously

890
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: the field goal against Tampa. But I think he's pretty good.

891
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: He's I think if you just asked a casual fan,

892
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur or Kevin O'Connell, I have used as an

893
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: example most people, I think the initial oh, Kevin O'Connell. Yeah,

894
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell's had two playoff games where he's had like

895
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: thirteen and fifteen win team fourteen win teams and he

896
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: can't win him. Kevin O'Connell lost the Giants couple of

897
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: years ago, Daniel Jones at home. You can say the

898
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: Rams loss isn't as crazy, and I agree, but like

899
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: you lost the Giants happened. People think I talked shit

900
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: about Kevin ccon. I'm not anti Kevin O'Connell. I think

901
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: he's a good coach. But my point is simply that

902
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: I think everyone listening and talking the overwhelming majority. If

903
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: you had to just pick one, most people would just

904
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: gravitate toward Kevin. It could be wrong. I just this

905
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: is my gut feel of just kinda have a pretty

906
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: good beat on people. Kevin O'Connell over the floor. Are

907
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: we sure? What do you think? Keenan Allen ends up?

908
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these guys, you know, older

909
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: players that have been making a lot of coin for

910
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: a long period of time, really struggle when their arrows

911
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: kind of pointed down. They're older. Right around free agency,

912
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: when they're available, people's low ball. Like, if you're used

913
00:49:56,080 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: to making nine percentage percent of people can't relate to this.

914
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: But if you've been used to making fifteen million, probably

915
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: pretty hard when someone's like, eh, we're just our best

916
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: offers three. You know, it's like even used to making

917
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: five hundred grand and you still think you're good at

918
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: your job and someone offers you a hundred You're like, oh,

919
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm not taking that gig. I think that happens to

920
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: a lot of these older players that most of the

921
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: offers during the off season relative to what they were making,

922
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: is really low, So it's a humbling time. Now they

923
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: can get hope there are injuries, someone gets hurt and

924
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden people are desperate. So that three

925
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: million that you're being offered maybe goes to eight or nine.

926
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: But if that doesn't happen, I think you could be

927
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: in a little trouble. So I don't know. I think

928
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: more than they ever tell is well lot lot about money. Hi, John,

929
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: what's your opinion on Garrett Wilson. I've seen people rank

930
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: him anywhere between the top five to out of the

931
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: top twenty. Keep up the great work, uh, I think he,

932
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: I think more than any other position. Wide receivers a

933
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: lot of stuffs out of their control. So when you

934
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:32,439
Speaker 1: play in chaotic offenses, in chaotic organizations, Jerry Rice played

935
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: with Joe Mountan and Steve Young. You know, Randy Moss

936
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: early on his career had good quarterbacks and he went

937
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady so good when a good wide receiver. Larry

938
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald looked pretty good when he had Carson Palmer or

939
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: Kurt Warren throwing the ball. So when you're a very

940
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: talented wide receiver and you have a good quarterback situation,

941
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna look unreal. Antonio Brown for six years had

942
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger slinging in the pill Tyreek Hill in the peak

943
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 1: of his powers, had Patrick Mahomes thrown in the rock.

944
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: So if you put Garrett Wilson with Patrick Mahomes or

945
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, I think he'd be pretty unreal.

946
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, last year I was expecting, actually his numbers

947
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: to not look this good. He had one hundred catches

948
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: for eleven hundred yards. I think he's a top ten

949
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: talent in the league. You know, if you had a

950
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: draft from scratch, would he cracked the top five? Probably not,

951
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: But I think once we got six to ten range

952
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: when you factor in his age, you know, if you

953
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: think about it, like Jamar Chase, you know, or Justin Jefferson,

954
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, Ceedee Lamb, and I think Tyreek's kind of

955
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: trending the other way. So you would have Jefferson Chase,

956
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: I would have Ceedee Lamb. Out of those three guys,

957
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: I'd feel pretty confident about those guys. Then you get

958
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: this group of like Aman Ross Saint Brown. Would I

959
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: rather have Amin Ross Saint Brown or Garrett Wilson. Well,

960
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: I think obviously in the scheme Amen Ross Saint Brown

961
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: and he's just But like I think if you put

962
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson on the Lions, nothing would dip. And I

963
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: think if you gave non Lions like every team in

964
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 1: the league, you could pick one of the two guys.

965
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: From a talent standpoint, I think you would take Garrett Wilson.

966
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: Now there are stuff that Saint Brown brings to the table,

967
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: Like I know for a fact, I can go to

968
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 1: war with that guy. Like Drake London, I would take

969
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson over Drake London. Brian Thomas junior one year in,

970
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be pretty good. You know, Malik Neighbors.

971
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: I'd probably take Malik Neighbors. But again, like this is yeah,

972
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: I think he's a top ten wide receiver in the league.

973
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: With all the chaos and realignment in college football, what

974
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on adopting regulation style conferences. That way

975
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: we can transition to the NFL of two main conferences

976
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:06,240
Speaker 1: while still allowing schools to compete at their respective levels.

977
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: Relegations never happening. I know people love it in European soccer,

978
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: but it is just not happening in pro sports ever,

979
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: because if I'm spending the amount of money I have

980
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: to spend and it doesn't go well, Okay, we fucked up,

981
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: but I still spent how billions of dollars has never

982
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: happened in college football the same way. They're just no,

983
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: none of these. It's a partnership. Now. You could argue

984
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: that Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, Penn State carry the Big Ten,

985
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: and that's true. You could argue that LSU, Bama, Georgia,

986
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 1: you know, carry the SEC in terms of ratings, in

987
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: terms of whatever, and you could add other teams there too,

988
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: But it's ultimately a partnership. And are the Cowboys? Are

989
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,760
Speaker 1: the Packers? Are the Niners? Are the Eagles more important

990
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: than and the Cardinals, the Jags and the Titans. Sure,

991
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: but part of the power of the NFL is the

992
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: group partnership. So I just it gets brought up a lot.

993
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: It's just not happening. Okay, question for the mailbag. First

994
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: of all, congrats, appreciate it. Also, I heard someone earlier

995
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: in a different podcast mentioned why people don't talk about

996
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: the UFC. Something that shocked me way more is the

997
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: big talk shows don't talk about big golf events like

998
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 1: the Masters. I was shocked when I saw no one

999
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 1: talked about Rory winning when I'm pretty sure the average

1000
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: twelve million views on Sunday and Monday. No one even

1001
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: said a single pot or peep about it. Kind of

1002
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: just blew my mind. The number of eyeballs is way

1003
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: bigger than UFC, and still no one said a single thing.

1004
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what shows you're alluding to.

1005
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: You know, if you think about the TV shows, I

1006
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: think Colin definitely let his television show that day of

1007
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 1: Fox Sports one talking about it one hundred I remember watching,

1008
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: So maybe you're talking about some of the ESPN shows.

1009
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,919
Speaker 1: Maybe those people don't watch. I also think we overvalue

1010
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, well, so you know Stephen A. Smith,

1011
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,720
Speaker 1: who cares five hundred thousand people watch his show? Pardon

1012
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 1: my take. I don't know what the number is, but

1013
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:25,399
Speaker 1: it's dwarfs that they definitely led with that. I did

1014
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: a podcast on it. I mean, I think a lot

1015
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: of people did so. I think if you just rely

1016
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: on like what are the TV shows? This isn't two

1017
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: thousand and four, you know, I bet a lot of

1018
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: YouTube shows. Did you know Pat McAfee did so. I

1019
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: I just think that legacy media, A lot of those

1020
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: people don't watch golf if it's not Tiger. They don't care.

1021
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: They would rather talk about Lebron versus Jordan. And that's fine.

1022
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what their business model is. But I

1023
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,760
Speaker 1: think sometimes we overvalue, like what did they who cares

1024
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: their audience relative to some of these other audiences that

1025
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: are talking about it aren't even close to is big?

1026
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: So I also, you know, one of the reasons ESPN,

1027
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: for example, talks about UFC is they are in business

1028
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: with UFC. Right, I'm pretty sure ESPN Plus has UFC stuff.

1029
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: Dana did a deal with ESPN years ago. I don't

1030
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: know how long that deal goes. I'm I'm not super

1031
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: dialed in, but I know, like that's why they promote it.

1032
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: No different than like Fox Sports. You know Colin. Colin

1033
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: likes soccer obviously like soccer a lot. But one reason

1034
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: they talk about it like they have contracts to talk

1035
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: to do Soccer World Cup, Like Alexi Laws comes on

1036
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: they host the Gold Cup like it's you kind of

1037
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: talk what your programming is. I think that that plays

1038
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: a part too. You know, if ESPN had the Masters,

1039
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 1: they would do more Master stuff. In terms of Saturday

1040
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: and Sunday, I know they play a role on Thursday

1041
00:57:55,120 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: and Friday. But I'm with you, there's not a basketball

1042
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: game this year. Well, I guess game seven did. Game

1043
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: seven got sixteen million people, but it was before Game seven.

1044
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: It was easily the lowest rated NBA Finals in like

1045
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: three decades. It's like seven eight million people watch them.

1046
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: But basketball in terms of like you know, you name

1047
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: the whoever is very good on the internet does very well.

1048
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: You can run businesses based on the algorithms with basketball stuff.

1049
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: Harder to do that with golf. So like I understand,

1050
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: like for this one time, who even cares? All the

1051
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: stuff comes down to business? It really does. And the

1052
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: business is just like how many people are watching? How

1053
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: much can we sell? How much money can we move

1054
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: based on what topics? Question for the back, you recently

1055
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: said the Dolphins owner has serious interest in hiring Jim Harbaugh.

1056
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: The question is, do you think the gym would be

1057
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: coaching the Dolphins right now instead of the Chargers if

1058
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: they had taken Herbert fifth overall in twenty twenty instead

1059
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: of Tua. That's a good question. I don't think Jim

1060
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: Harball would coach Tua. I so is your question would

1061
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: if he was coaching the Dolphins? Do you think that

1062
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: Jim Harball would be. Yeah, maybe I think he would have.

1063
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have gone after Jim multiple times, so it's

1064
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: not like a one off situation. I think he would

1065
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: have been inclined to if someone had justin Herbert and

1066
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: he could coach their team, he would have. So yeah,

1067
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: I think there's a decent chance. I don't think he

1068
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: would be the Chargers head coach if they did not

1069
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: have a good quarterback situation, and if you flip flop

1070
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks, I don't think Jim Harball would take

1071
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: that job if Tula as their coach or quarterback. A

1072
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: quick question about Love and a second year regression. Warren

1073
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Sharp put out a list of the third down incompletions

1074
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: due to receiver errors, and green Bay led that statistic

1075
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: with thirty two point seven percent. Next was the Bengals

1076
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: at eighteen percent. Jalen Hurts was around eight point five percent,

1077
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: and GoF was at seven point five percent. And Love

1078
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: was never truly one hundred percent healthy last year, but

1079
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: still was a top ten in all the metrics. Given

1080
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: that if Green Bay is just league average, can we

1081
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: expect the Love and the offense to be dynamic? You

1082
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: guys know, where I stand. I own stock. I think

1083
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna be good. If you tell me the Packers

1084
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: defense is good like it was last year. I think

1085
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: the Packers are twelve or thirteen win team. And if

1086
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: you win thirteen games over the last decade, I bet

1087
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: you win your division. I don't know eighty percent of

1088
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: the time, like last year was abnormal, right, you had

1089
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: two teams with fourteen wins in weeks. Now it's it's

1090
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: a little skewed because we've added a game. But you

1091
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: guys know, I mean, if you win thirteen games, you

1092
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: get a pretty damn good chance to win your division,

1093
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: even if you're in a good division. So I think

1094
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna be good. We get a lot of Packer

1095
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: fans because I got another question. I I think the

1096
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: thing with Jordan Love is you also got to embrace

1097
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: what he is. Is he gonna be a top five

1098
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: player in the league. Probably not, but his ceiling in

1099
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: his high end, which we didn't see as much last

1100
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: year as we did two years ago, is pretty high.

1101
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: And when you're not healthy in your have you don't

1102
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: have much experience, like it can be kind of rocky.

1103
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: And like you said, the receivers were just all over

1104
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: the map last year, but they always have a good

1105
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: offensive line. Jacob's a stud. They do have a lot

1106
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: of bodies on offense. They just got to figure out

1107
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: which ones, and like, can they get their version of

1108
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson or DeVante to kind of come out of

1109
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: this group? Maybe it's the guy they just drafted. But

1110
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: to me, if their defense is good, like the team's

1111
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: gonna be good. I appreciate the respect you give toward

1112
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,919
Speaker 1: my Packers, but my question is at what point will

1113
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: you change your tune and become more critical. Love is

1114
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: one of the higher paid quarterbacks and as yet to

1115
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: take the next step. Our young wide receiver corps that

1116
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: everyone hypes up hasn't been consistently reliable. We have some

1117
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: nice Peter pieces scattered throughout the roster. I'm concerned about

1118
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: becoming the Steelers good enough to win during the regular

1119
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 1: season against the bottom half of the league, but never

1120
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: true contender for a championship. Your thoughts, Are you guys

1121
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: as good as you were from like ten to fifteen?

1122
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: Of course not. Even though you only won one Super Bowl,

1123
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: you guys were legit super Bowl contenders that four or

1124
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: five years. A couple of years ago when you lost

1125
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: to the Bucks, I thought that was your best team.

1126
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I thought those two years with Rogers when he was older,

1127
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: the year you lost the Niners like those are tough losses,

1128
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: but you were true Super Bowl contenders. You weren't a

1129
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: super contender this year. Toward the end of the season, clearly,

1130
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: I do think you can be one this year though.

1131
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: If you told me NFL teams were stocks, you can

1132
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: buy one of two stocks this upcoming year, the Packers

1133
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: or the Steelers, and whoever goes farther in the playoffs

1134
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: or just throughout the Seaton, who has a better record,

1135
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: and at the end of the year, whoever is progressed

1136
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: longer in the season. Ten X is your money, and

1137
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: you're allowed to put down whatever you want. I would

1138
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: not hesitate to pick the Packers, would not hesitate. So

1139
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: you guys are not the Steelers hip. I promise you

1140
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 1: that what is the next disposable position in the NFL

1141
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to value, that's going to be overlooked

1142
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: the way running back was. I think it's pretty clear

1143
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: right now. Safety is. I just now safety has never

1144
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: had the value as corner or pass rusher. But I

1145
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 1: think we have to admit that certain teams didn't value

1146
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: linebacker like other teams. The Eagles are a good example

1147
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: that their historic value in terms of what they would

1148
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: pay a linebacker was they would let a lot of

1149
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: guys walk after Bond last year. And the way this

1150
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: league is, who does that guy end up on a

1151
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: lot running backs and tight ends? Well? What is the

1152
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: league full of dynamic running backs and tight ends? So linebackers.

1153
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,919
Speaker 1: And I believe this since honestly, for I got around

1154
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: the Niners and saw Willison Bowman. It's like, if you

1155
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: have a good middle linebacker, let alone two of them,

1156
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: you can If you have two good linebackers, your defense

1157
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: is good because they account for like, let's just conservatively

1158
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: say twenty five twenty eight tackles some games like thirty

1159
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: five to forty forty to be high, but low thirties.

1160
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: They can pressure the quarterback because they can blitz. They

1161
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: can cover the running back behind the line of scrimmage,

1162
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: which a lot of teams you know, wheel routes, and

1163
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: that's a huge wich part of the game. And now

1164
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: with tight ends going down the scene, if I can

1165
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: cover that guy, it's a huge point of difference. So

1166
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: I would say linebacker is not as undervalued as it was.

1167
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: Fred Warner makes a lot of money, Roquan makes a

1168
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 1: lot of money. Is Zac Bond just got paid. A

1169
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 1: ton of other guys have been paid. So I would

1170
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: say safety would be the one because guards guards are

1171
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: making a ton. Tray Smith just got franchise. He makes

1172
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: twenty three million dollars. Hell centers make decent money if

1173
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: you're good, So I think it's safety question for the pod.

1174
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: Are you an early riser? What type of fitness training

1175
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 1: do you do? Uh? Good question. It depends on the

1176
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: time of year. I would say the summer seven ish

1177
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 1: seven point thirty, depending on what's going on the season,

1178
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: which training camp I wouldn't even count like the actual season.

1179
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm up late, like my little brother, for example, gets

1180
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: up at like five five thirty. He also goes to

1181
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: bed at like nine during the season, Sunday night, Monday night,

1182
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 1: Thursday night, especially, you know, half the football season, I'm

1183
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: on Pacific Standard time, but then it kicks up so

1184
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: we're on Mountain time sometimes three days a week. I'm

1185
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: not going to bed till like midnight. So I'm one

1186
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: of those people like I don't really operate off like

1187
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: four or five hours sleep. I do need six seven,

1188
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:32,919
Speaker 1: so maybe during that time I get up seven thirty eight.

1189
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 1: I would say sometimes after Monday night football, Sunday night football,

1190
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,919
Speaker 1: and Thursday night football, and then during the through the week,

1191
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: kind of depends on the time of year, usually between

1192
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 1: six fifteen and six forty five. I would say, if

1193
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: I go to bed at a normal time, usually get up,

1194
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: go to my coffee maker, get a double shot of espresso,

1195
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: Come look at the market, bank account internet, slam that

1196
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: cop if you drink some water, maybe take the dog

1197
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 1: for a walk. Then usually go to the gym within

1198
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: like an hour of taking that double shot of espresso,

1199
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: and then this my day kind of goes on from there.

1200
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's pretty time related in terms of

1201
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: from getting up super early or just kind of I

1202
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: need some sleep because I can't when I'm tired. It's

1203
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: just hard for me to podcast, I mean on it

1204
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 1: because my brain doesn't work. And I was like that

1205
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I just need some sleep. I have

1206
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for guys that don't need much sleep.

1207
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 1: It's a life hack if you don't need much life sleep,

1208
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: and that's you know something that like you can function

1209
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 1: and your brain works on way less than eight hours.

1210
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 1: You can dominate in society. It's a it's a huge,

1211
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: huge point of difference. I do not have that. I

1212
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: don't need like eight exactly, but I need more six

1213
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: or seven than four or five. Some people just don't

1214
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: need much sleep. I wanted to open and discuss about

1215
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: the UFC. My girlfriend really, she put me on it

1216
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: about five years ago, and I've loved it ever since.

1217
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: I don't girlfriend likes it. That's seems like a keeper

1218
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: for starters. It's something something super competitive and entertaining to

1219
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: watch during the summer when not much stuff is going on. Also,

1220
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 1: the mentality shared between football and the UFC fighters are

1221
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: quite similar. It's you and the man across from you.

1222
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: They don't like you, and you don't like them. If

1223
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: you ask me, a hospital ball over the middle is

1224
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: more dangerous than anything in the UFC. Considering you can

1225
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,680
Speaker 1: control your own destiny. It's one Saturday night, and I'll

1226
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: matching a card. You won't be disappointed again. I've watched

1227
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: the UFC. I just I guess I just don't build,

1228
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,719
Speaker 1: you know, nights or events like some of you guys

1229
01:08:56,360 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: like I don't look forward to them unless it's thing

1230
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: that transcends, right, if you tell me that, like when

1231
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,839
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor was fighting, and I'm like this with boxing,

1232
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 1: if Mike Tyson's fighting Jake Paul or Floyd Mayweather's fighting,

1233
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: paqiaw like I have fomo in terms of enormous events

1234
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: that I know that I can't miss that aren't football, golf,

1235
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: the World Series, in the NBA finals, shit like that

1236
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: March Madness, right, stuff that aren't off the beaten path.

1237
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 1: If I know that, like I should be paying attention

1238
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 1: to this, I'm gonna pay attention if I know a

1239
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: lot of people are watching. If you tell me Connor

1240
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,000
Speaker 1: McGregor is gonna box Jake Paul, like, I'm going to watch.

1241
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm that type consumer when it comes to fighter fighting.

1242
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: But if you just give me a random card, like

1243
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: I paid attention to the Sugar Shan guy do with

1244
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: the purple pink hare why because he was Scottsdale and

1245
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: I remember this guy told me that he knew him

1246
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: he trained at this place I went to CrossFit. I'm like, okay,

1247
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 1: I'll pay attention to this. So if there's not like

1248
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: a personal connection, it's just harder for me to get into.

1249
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:01,759
Speaker 1: Like I said, I have nothing again against the violence.

1250
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm pro violence. I just I only have so much time.

1251
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: My wife doesn't like it either, so it's like if

1252
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: she was into it, I'd probably watch it more. You

1253
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 1: have to when you watch as much sports as me,

1254
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: you have to pick and choose, Like, hey, I'm just

1255
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: gonna give this up because the Trump card I have

1256
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: even with golf, and we got a six months a year.

1257
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 1: I got golf on the TV Thursday through Sunday and

1258
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 1: then from which she's cool with. I mean, the NFL

1259
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 1: Sundays are a really big deal in my home. But

1260
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: I've really got her into college football. We got a

1261
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: lot of football like most of you. I mean, football

1262
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,679
Speaker 1: is on, there's a game on, It's on three TVs

1263
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: in the house. Okay, last question, who do you think

1264
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 1: is under more pressure to win immediately? Ben Johnson the

1265
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 1: Bears or Liam Cohen and the Jacks. That's not even

1266
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: a question. The Bears. It's a hard job, like a

1267
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: lot of the big jobs in the NFL, because of

1268
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: the market size, because of the pressure, because of how

1269
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: many fans you have. Obviously there's pressure in Jacksonville because

1270
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 1: of what they did. I'd argue that pressure is as

1271
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 1: much on the GM as it is on the coach,

1272
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: and there's just not as much pressure in Jacksonville. Not

1273
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: really debatable, you know, It's just the pressure in Chicago

1274
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: is really really difficult, and ebra Flus was completely over

1275
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: his head and got embarrassed. Ben Johnson is clearly a

1276
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: more talented coach than ibra Flus, but being a head

1277
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: coach is a lot different than being a position coach

1278
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 1: or coordinator. And the hype behind Caleb Williams, Like, let's

1279
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: face it, there's still a lot of hype and unknown

1280
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: about Caleb Williams based on what we've seen. Like Trevor

1281
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence isn't good. He just kind of kind of average,

1282
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 1: you know. I think most people agree, like, yeah, he's

1283
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: kind of whatever. There's not really much pressure behind coaching

1284
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence because most people don't think he's any good.

1285
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of pressure behind coaching Caleb Williams, who

1286
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:05,719
Speaker 1: many people thought was like an all time great prospect

1287
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: and the best part about football, just like any sport,

1288
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: but the power of football, A lot of hype comes

1289
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: behind these guys, right because years in college, like Cooper

1290
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: flag Ton of Hype played one year. You know, is

1291
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 1: he the greatest things that slight spread? Maybe? Sure, He's

1292
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,560
Speaker 1: probably gonna be pretty good. Look damn good when I

1293
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: watched him. But if you tell me he makes two

1294
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: All Stars instead of ten, believable, Tell me to make

1295
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: ten kind of believable too. I don't know football. You

1296
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: never know, ever know. I mean, Trevor Lawrence was supposed

1297
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: to be the best prospect since Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning.

1298
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: I think he's averaged the day is long. I actually

1299
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 1: thought he was. I'm not trying to do hindsight. It

1300
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,599
Speaker 1: was a little overrated in college. Would have taken him

1301
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 1: one as well, but I just thought, like based on

1302
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: the high link, comparing him to Andrew Luck, I thought

1303
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: was laughable, especially when he's like, yeah, I don't even

1304
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: know like football that much. Not fairness. Andrew Luck after

1305
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: some injuries retired at like thirty. But maybe they got

1306
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: more in common than you think. But Andrew Luck was

1307
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: You cannot argue what Andrew Luck played. He was good,

1308
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: was excellent. I mean, for three straight years has taken

1309
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,879
Speaker 1: took the team that won two games immediately the playoffs

1310
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 1: three straight year they're in the championship game. So I

1311
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 1: would say the bears by country mile the pressure and

1312
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: it's not like he's gonna get fired or anything, but

1313
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,679
Speaker 1: it's it would be into if they went seven to ten,

1314
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: it would be a massive story. It would be a

1315
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,759
Speaker 1: massive story. If the Jags won six, six or seven games,

1316
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: no one really cares. They make the playoffs. Their a

1317
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: big story. They're winning games, they're a big story. But

1318
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: if they're under five hundred, like, no one's talking about it,

1319
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: no one's paying attention. The Travis Hunter is kind of

1320
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: a big offseason story. If the team's bad, we're not

1321
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: talking about Travis Hunter. It's just not gonna happen. Like,

1322
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:55,799
Speaker 1: no one cares how many snaps he gets on defense.

1323
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 1: Maybe a throwaway at the end of shows, have the questions.

1324
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: Talk to you guys soon. Have a great weekend. The
