6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Hey Dan, Hello, building it up? I don't know. Have

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: you done two shows in a row? I think so

8
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: it's been done. Thanks for remembering. Dan might have been

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: gone for it. I think when you were gone first. Yeah,

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: I think you're right. So do you know this counts?

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: Counts the other ones counted to But yes, no, they're

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: all good. They're all beautiful little flowers all the shows.

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: This is the Thursday, and I apologize to Mr Flame,

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: who you know. He sends us one of the best

15
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: whiskeys in the world. And what happens the old zeuser

16
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: forgets to let everyone know that the Around the NFL

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: podcast is sponsored but Mr Flames economics class in the

18
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: Hague Va, Netherlands. I think it would actually be funny,

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: even though it would be a problematic situation for us

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: if he sued us for Mr Flames suit is for

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: forgetting to mention podcast on Tuesday. He's way too nice

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: of a guy, I know, But that's what would make

23
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: it even better. It'd be a rare case. Dan Dan

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: always thinks about the show first. He would actually be

25
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: happy that he that we get sued. He's like, that'd

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: be a good storyline. It would be pretty good storyline

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: as long as we didn't get fired because of it.

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: And you know, if we didn't have to pay for

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: Laura lawyering up on, it would be great. Yeah, you're

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: getting a little too comfortable, I think with the sponsorship

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: in what sense, you know, just taking gifts and forgetting

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: to say thank you. Well, you know, the beautiful thing

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: about Mr F is the he's the utter antithesis of

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: like a gigantic corpo sponsor. He is, he is hands on,

35
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: and you know, he's just an uberman. It's almost like

36
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: we we should share him with the world like somebody else.

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: If we find somebody that deserves a sponsor the way

38
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: we deserve the sponsor, maybe one day we'll pass off

39
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: Mr Flame with his How would you feel about sharing

40
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Mr F? I would never share him. It would be

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: more like I'd let him go and let him journey

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: off to someone else that that needs a pick me up,

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: because that's what he's given our show. Just let him

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: spread his wings. Yeah, by the way, this is the um.

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: It's been a long time since the Patriot. The Falcons

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: are in the super Bowl just in a cartoon vision

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: of Dan pushing Mr f out of a nest January

48
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: thirty one, The last time the Falcons were in the

49
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Uh, Colleen, you were a three year old

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: girl back then, something something like that. But here's some

51
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: fun facts from what was going on in the world

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: the last time. The fact I love this, You know,

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: this is the most original talking point, but I love this.

54
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: I love nostalgia. Matt Ryan was a thirteen year old

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: boy about that after the Super Bowl. Family Guy premiered

56
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: on Fox a long time ago. Hit Me Baby one

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: more time? The number one. Were you a big brittany

58
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: girl younger? Yeah, it was like in college concerts. No

59
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: gas cost cents again, And I remember that I was.

60
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: I grew up on the border of New York and

61
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: New Jersey and the trick in the coal town because

62
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: gas prices were more expensive in New York, you hopped

63
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: over the border to Bergen County, New Jersey, and you

64
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: got the gas in Montfale at a substantially cheaper rate,

65
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: and they pumped the gas for you in New Jersey,

66
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: so you don't have to get out of the car

67
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: if it's raining or anything. Right, but that was always

68
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: a little weird. That's a law. You can't pump your

69
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: gas in Jersey. What's going on in the West side

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati? Wa. I think I had just decided that

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: I was going to be an outsider, and it was

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: like it was to be at the decision. It was

73
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: the beginning of not carrying one one damn about pop culture.

74
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: That's about when it started for Matth. I was just

75
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna be on the outside of society. So on January

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: thirty first nine, Chris Wesling decided he was going to

77
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: be an outsider. It was around when that girl was

78
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: trying to engage yourself to me, so I had to

79
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: necessarily get outside of society. Okay, well, now you work

80
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: for eleven billion dollar corporation, I have to reconcile a

81
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: few things. Dan. That was also the year of Summer Girls.

Speaker 1: of Mickey Mouse, Greg Rosenthal wrote a banger ranking the

114
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: NFL coaching hires. Uh, we need something less. You know,

115
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: what's lower than a banger. You know, it's sub banger perspective.

116
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: But you know I'll work on that. Yeah, yeah, So

117
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: way to pump up your piece though. So a sub

118
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: banger will use the term for now ranking NFL coaching hires.

119
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: And then we're gonna try again to get Mark and

Speaker 1: is it road to Houston? Hashtag road to Houston? Hashtag

123
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: road to Houston. So that's the show. Let's start some news. Said,

124
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: what was that? That was? That was my favorite new thing?

125
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: Which is Kirk Cousins singing in an acapella group in

126
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: high school. Oh my god, if you haven't seen the video,

127
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: it's amazing. He has all sorts of crazy outfits. He is.

128
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: Something else is that? If you watch that, if you're

129
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: a Redskins fan, does that make you want to invest

130
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: more in the quarterback? Or is it assigned to run

131
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: for the hills? I think more. I think I tweeted

132
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: it out and lots of people were excited about it

133
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: and excited about their quarterback. Does it with confidence? That's

134
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: the key? And Kirk Cousins, if you had to make

135
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: a ranking of which which guy, what quarterbacks Sydney would

136
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: be most into? Is like a potential date number is

137
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: number one? That's your boy. What about Jimmy G I

138
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: think he runs a little too fast for you. Yeah,

139
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: he seems like he's too edgy. Maybe you need you

140
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: need a nice boy in an acapella group. Listen, Kirk

141
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: and I can go to Disney together. It'll be great.

142
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's start the news and we kinda we

143
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 1: we blew it. We forgot to talk about Ryan Grigson

144
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. So let's talk about it now, because after

145
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: weeks of speculation and radio silence and Indy, the Colts

146
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: made the decision to part ways with their general manager,

147
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: firing Ryan Griggson following a second straight dark January for

148
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: the Colts. Or they conformed the confirmed this to our

149
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: told reporters this over the weekend. Uh or Say also

150
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: confirmed Chuck Pogano will be back as the Colts coach

151
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand seventeen, which is always creates a slightly

152
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: uncomfortable situation when you mix and match regimes like this. Uh.

153
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: The move comes just one month after they told rap

154
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: sheet that the franchise was not planning to make quote

155
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: wholesale offseason changes. Uh. Greg, I guess you could still

156
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: say he told the truth, because maybe you could paint

157
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: it as wholesale would mean you're getting rid of both

158
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: your coach and GM. But that's still a huge part

159
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: of the organization. What took so long and what's going

160
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: on in Indie? I mean, who knows. This is a

161
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: strange story, a strange situation. Gregson and Pagano had reportedly

162
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: gone and you know, seen a psychologist. I hired a

163
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: psychologist to try to overcome their issues. And I wonder

164
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: I want to know what the story is behind the story,

165
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: because I don't think it happens two or three weeks

166
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: into the off season unless something's going on. If someone

167
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: went to the front office, you know, went to ERSA

168
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: and made a say, it's either me or him or

169
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why, why would it be happening now

170
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: because it's not like he had a plan. He he

171
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: didn't have a plan at all. That would worry me.

172
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: He's just interviewing gms. At first, there was a couple

173
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: of guys. Now it's expanded. It's like he didn't have

174
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: a plan. He just did it. And that's probably why

175
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: Pogano is still there because I can't imagine that he's

176
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: prepared to go and have a search for both positions.

177
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: It just seems like this sort of came out of

178
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: nowhere and now he's going to be stuck with hiring

179
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: a GM and maybe he doesn't like the guys that

180
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: are left out there as head coaching candidates. Yes, how

181
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: about this. He can't give any credit really for drafting

182
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck That was a no brainer of the century,

183
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: even even though r G three was in that draft,

184
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: whatever Luck was the number one guy. Is Griggs in

185
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: the worst GM in the league because he takes that out.

186
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: What has he done with that team other than hold

187
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: back Andrew Luck from being in the middle of the

188
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: playoffs every January. The rest of that two thousand and

189
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: twelve draft was phenomenal as well. Okay, I don't think

190
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: they take that away from him. That was one of

191
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: the best drafts of the past half that came out

192
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: of that one. T Y Hilton, Kobe Fleanard, Dwayne Allen,

193
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: Vick Ballard whose career was ruined by a knee injury. Uh.

194
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: I believe there was one other guy too, right, But

195
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Hilton and Luck those are two A plus guys right there.

196
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: So he nailed that draft. And then two thousand thirteen

197
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: starts the beginning to the end that Trent Richardson with

198
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: which is his band of trade with I as we've seen,

199
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: and he drafts Bjorn Werner in the first round, which

200
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: is as bad of a first round draft bus as

201
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: we've seen. Really, he he didn't even make it through

202
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: his rookie contract before they released him, which you don't

203
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: see what first round picks. And he had chances to

204
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: overcome those errors, but he didn't. He had cap room

205
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: two years in a row, which like top three or

206
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: four in the league cap room, and he went out

207
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: and signed guys like Gostar Cheerless and Lauren Landry and

208
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: Eric Walden and all these guys who were not impact players.

209
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: Even though he had tons of cap him to bring

210
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: in guys Arthur Jones, who you know was injured the

211
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: whole time. So I think he had so many opportunities

212
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: to keep surrounding Andrew Luck with talent, but every move

213
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: seemed to backfire. And then that provided a schism with

214
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: the coaching staff because Griggs and kept saying I'm giving

215
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: you guys talent and you can't develop it. Well. I

216
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: think Pagano really hurt this organization by being so good

217
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: in the room and convincing Jimmer Say a year ago

218
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: for him to keep his job, because I think Ersay

219
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: was on the right track there of starting over, and

220
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: somehow Pagano convinced er Say to give not only Pogano

221
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: but Griggs in a three year contract. Griggs is gonna

222
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: get paid through two thousand nineteen or something like that,

223
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: and and I think it's set back this organization, because

224
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: whoever they hire here, it might be an internal guy

225
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ray. I feel like they're just wasting another year

226
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: with Chuck Pagano. So there's gonna be another story like

227
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: this in a year or two where they're starting over,

228
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: which is ultimately wasting another year with Andrew Luck too.

229
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to fix that offensive line that

230
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: hasn't been fixed in how long? What are you laughing at? Well?

231
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: Next giggling paying for Griggs and extra couple of What

232
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: does that mean he can't buy Buddy Holly's guitar now

233
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: or something. I mean, Jim Mercy has got plenty of money.

234
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: He's always spending it on all these weird auction items.

235
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't care if he's paying Griggs in for a

236
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: couple more years. I get you're right, obviously it's a

237
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: bottomless pit of money. But it's still the principle of

238
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: it that you you gave him an extension last year

239
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: and now you're gonna pay him to basically not be

240
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: in your building for three years. It's just not a

241
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: good look. Neither is the fact that so many ex

242
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: players went out of their way to celebrate Gregson's fires

243
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: on his grave. Pat mcinfie. You after him too. I've

244
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: never seen as many players as vocal as they were

245
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: minutes after the news came out, so awkward. How much

246
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: do you think Grigson's hairstyle plays into people not liking

247
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: a lot kind of looks like a mid tier wrestling heell,

248
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: that's that's the way huge got huge guy. What's six? Yeah,

249
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: I want to interviewed him at the combine, I mean

250
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl actually right after he hired. Well,

251
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: it was it was it was alarming, It was a

252
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: little scary. He was an enormous person. I would say though,

253
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: that it's impressive the list of guys who are coming

254
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: out for this job. Now everybody wants to work with Andrews. Well,

255
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Some some guys around the league that rejected,

256
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: uh the interviews are interviewing with the cults there he go,

257
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: tells you a lot moving on one position that won't

258
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: be opening up, much to the chagrin of many Packers fans.

259
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: The defensive coordinator post Dom caper Teflon Dom, as he's

260
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: known around these parts, He's not going anywhere. Mike McCarthy

261
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: had this to say, this is no time for drama.

262
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: Dom Caper's is an outstanding football coach. That doesn't change.

263
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: He had a tough challenge in front of him this year,

264
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: and once again that coaching staff dealt with a lot

265
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: blah blah blah uh talking about injuries as being a

266
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: major hurdle. Caper's back, not back. Colleen Wolf, also know

267
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: as Countie Fox. Tom Clements, whose contract expires. He is

268
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: the associate head coach Offense. His deal expired, they're not

269
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: bringing him back. He spent eleven seasons with the team,

270
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: starting his QB coach before being elevated to O C

271
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: in two thousand twelve and then associate head coach. And

272
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: you know one thing that is interesting about Clements, McCarthy

273
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: made a big deal before the season saying, I am

274
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: going to now start elevating some of my coaches to

275
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: more EH profile roles to help them get head coaching look,

276
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: so he made him the play caller, yanked that from

277
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: him later that season, and now he's out of a

278
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: job entirely. Yeah, he goes from play caller to totally

279
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: out in a little over a year. But look, the

280
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: injuries did not help at all when you look at

281
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: what they were dealing with in the secondary and just

282
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: their cornerbacks alone. When Sam Shields went down with the

283
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: concussion in the season opener, they were playing with three

284
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: second year corners. You have Damarius Randall, Quinton Rollins, and

285
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: Ladarius Gunter. Now Gunter I thought that Bucky Brooks always

286
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: calls him Waldo, like the guys on the team that

287
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,479
Speaker 1: you can sort of circle and those guys can be exploited,

288
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: And in a lot of the games this year he

289
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: was absolutely Waldo and that did not help. Also, they

290
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: had the pass rush was so inconsistent this entire season

291
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: that it really exposed that secondary, who was already hurting.

292
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: I think when you look at the Packers roster, and

293
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: I've been asked this a lot, what do they change

294
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: next year to get better? You gotta get production out

295
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: of Randall, Cobb and Clay Matthews, who are two year

296
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: highest played players on the team, and our subpar regulars

297
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: right now, that's a big problem that two guys after

298
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers getting paid the most are not assets anymore.

299
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: Moving on, UH, Since that I Bengals saw enough um

300
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: from Randy Bullock UH to bring back the kicker signed

301
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: a deal that takes him through two thousand eighteen West

302
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: a little surprising. Uh. Some people call him fat Randy.

303
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: I call him big boned Randy. Uh, Randy, Husky Randy Randy.

304
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: Now it's edging back into mean territory again. I was

305
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: going for less husky guys. We don't like, you know,

306
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff where it's like it's like, hey,

307
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: big guy, Well you know, we'll just call me fatty

308
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: all right. The waiters are like, hey, big guy, excuse me.

309
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: I can't wait to call you big guy. Uh. Uh.

310
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: Big Bone Randy went five for six on field goals

311
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: and six or six on extra points in three games

312
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: with since but that one miss was a doozy, a

313
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: forty three yard or on Christmas Eve night that gave

314
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: the Texans the division, but one of the worst misses

315
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: of the year. He stutters staffed. I think he almost

316
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: crapped himself and then missed the kick. Uh. You know,

317
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: Big Bone Randy West still in our lives. This is

318
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: like the January version of a camp leg right, teflon

319
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: teflon Randy. They're gonna draft somebody or pick someone else up.

320
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think Old road to On

321
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: Randy's gonna be handed a job. That's a better one.

322
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: Moving on, Hey, guys, that happened January two thousand seventeen.

323
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: What happened? See, we need more of that around this place. Guys,

324
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: take after our colleague. Take it notes over here. We

325
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: achieved lift off on the Blake Bortles redemption tour. Uh.

326
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: Here's comments from GM Dave Caldwell, Uh this week of

327
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl on Blake Bortles. I've said it said

328
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: this time and time again. I think we can win

329
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: a lot of games with Blake. I think we can

330
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl with Blake. I think he needs

331
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: to improve, and I think we need to approve around

332
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: him to an order for that to happen. Greg called

333
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: will better be right here. He survived the acts. Gus

334
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: Bradley got sent packing late last season, but they got

335
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin in the building, who easily, I would think,

336
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: can make called all redundant. If Jacksonville doesn't improve on

337
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: three and thirteen and the way he's talking, they're gonna

338
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: try to go it again with Blake Bortles. Do you agree? Well,

339
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: I think that's the reason he kept his job. Is

340
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: that called Well and Maron somehow convinced owners shot Khan

341
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: to run it back with Bordles, that we can fix it.

342
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: That let's not really change. I mean, if you look

343
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: at what the Jaguars did, they really didn't. They changed

344
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: as little as possible. They promoted Moron, they kept called well,

345
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: they're keeping Boardles as their coach, and they kept the

346
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: exact same defensive coordinator, which kind of went under the radar.

347
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: Todd wash Is his name is still the defensive to out. Yeah,

348
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: he was under They're running the back and it supports

349
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: my theory that they gotta win. This is a very

350
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: short lifeline here for Moron. They gotta win right away

351
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: or Coughlin's gonna get called well out of there, get

352
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: Bortles out of there, and get Maron out of there

353
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: and start the whole thing over with his own guys.

354
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: And this is Bortles is a prime candidate. I wrote

355
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: about this on the End Around. Please check it out

356
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. One of the most popular tropes of

357
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: the NFL offseason Struggling Quarterback X primed for back bounce

358
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: back season and now listen to all the factors, all

359
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: the other sub tropes that connect to Bortles. Let's play

360
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: a little Blake bingo. Here portals bingo. We have about

361
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: choice there all right. Here we got player X showed

362
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: flashes and seasons final weeks. Oh yeah that check player

363
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: X has semi recent track record of success. Check Player

364
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: X is still, you know, pretty young. Check prayer Player

365
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: X will benefit from coaching change. Not buying that one,

366
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: but it will be all right, lou posited. And finally,

367
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: my personal favorite, Player X spent offseason undergoing complete mechanics

368
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: rebuild with quarterback quarterback Guru. Why he's already done that too,

369
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: just bring it back, bringing it back. He wait until

370
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: you see the shape he's in. And that's a thing

371
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: with Bortles. We'll hear how he's taking his craft more seriously,

372
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: but we never get the article before the year where

373
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: they weren't taking it seriously. Like you never get the

374
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles not really ready for training camp. He's kind

375
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: of you always hear the whisper the other direction. And

376
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: about week twelve, I think you know the Super Bowl

377
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: and then compare that to Blake Bortles. It tells you

378
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: everything you need to know. That Tom Brady, while he

379
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: was suspended, worked with Tom House, the biometrics guru mechanical guru.

380
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: For many times during that suspension. Matt Ryan flew Tom

381
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: House and Adam Day do the other I working for

382
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: Tomhouse into Atlanta throughout the season during the season to

383
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: work on his mechanics, and Blake Bordles pretty much ignored

384
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: his mechanics during the off seasons. One of the worst

385
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: wind ups you'll see. That throwing motion is so bad.

386
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: They trying to pick somebody off second. We gotta get

387
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: someone in there. I mean, I was as high as

388
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: Bordles as anyone after I h even in his best

389
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: season he led the league in interceptions and sacks. It's

390
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: not like, even even in the season that that he

391
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: did all the great things. He was a he was

392
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: a flawed, you know, kind of middle tier quarterback. He

393
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: absolutely has all the physical tools you could want, but

394
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: mentally he's not there yet and it's an all consuming job. Um. Finally,

395
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: little Boston talkg your home region, New England. Uh you

396
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: you heard the news over the weekend that a East

397
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: Boston man had broken into or not broken into, had

398
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: got himself into the team hotel where the Steelers were

399
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: staying at near uh the airport up there in Boston.

400
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: Logan and yanked a fire alarm allegedly on the second floor,

401
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: you know, waking up some players, and you know, he

402
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: was trying to upset the Steelers on the eve of

403
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship game. Harrison reportedly told the

404
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: police this, according to The Boston Globe, upon his apprehension,

405
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: he just kind of stumbling away from the grounds. I'm drunk,

406
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm stupid. I'm a Pats fan. Now, which that doesn't

407
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: speak for all Patriots. I'm not. This is I'm not

408
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: bringing this up Greg as a way to left. I mean,

409
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: at least he was just saying it. Harrison was in court.

410
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: He's twenty five years old. Uh, he was in court

411
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: this week where he pleaded not guilty the charges of

412
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, and setting off a false

413
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: fire alarm. First of all, who hasn't done any of

414
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: those before? You know, we could say this for the

415
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: law podcast. I'm just gonna say something. I am not accredited.

416
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: I have not been to law school. I do not

417
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 1: plead not guilty on this. Dennis Harrison, you have the

418
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: cops have you on record saying I'm drunk, I'm stupid,

419
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: I'm a Pats fan. You were. You were arrested on

420
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: the grounds of the hotel where you weren't staying. It

421
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: was four am plea out, bro, But it's an alternative

422
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: Factlet plea out. And one last note with this Hooters, Colleen,

423
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: have you been to a Hooters establishment. I have one

424
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: of my friends work. They make a good chicken wing.

425
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: Look at you, Hooters. The Saugust, Massachusetts location put up

426
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 1: a sign in front of the restaurant free wings if

427
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: your name is Dennis Harrison, which is funny and a

428
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: nice little promotion to tie in with current events and

429
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: sports fans. But here's the kicker, and this is very

430
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: this is very masshole. Dennis Harrison showed up and collected

431
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: on that had a meal there on Monday. A manager

432
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: that works at the facility. They ought to put this

433
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: guy away for months through the book at You know,

434
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: first of all, you don't mess with people sleep well,

435
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: how about emergencies service workers who were racing to face

436
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: fake alarm. It's second of all, what's your purpose enjoying this? Well,

437
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: he's drunk and stupid, right you. It's somehow gonna upset

438
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers and they're not gonna play. Well, give me

439
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: a break be better. Dennis Harrison, I think, uh, yes,

440
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: you choose this take serious. I don't like at all.

441
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk you into Antonio Brown the other day

442
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: got you on this one. It's a second rate prank.

443
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: It's haven't even good. But well, if if the if

444
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: the idea, it's like stealing somebody's mascot in two thousand

445
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: seventeen has been It's been done seventy eight times every year.

446
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,239
Speaker 1: It's it's not it's not creative, but first, got your

447
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: cockatoo for someone that's no state related to the two teams.

448
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: He absolutely annoyed the crap out of the entire organization

449
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: and disrupted their sleeping and you know sleep science saying

450
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: people say that that stuff is important. Maybe it's you

451
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: know that helps some one or two percent. There he's

452
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: helping his team out. You're celebrating this criminal. Now he's

453
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: an idiot. But but I'm not saying that it had

454
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: no impact. Was he raised by this criminal? It's raised

455
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: by wolves. Hey, that's what's happening in the news. All Right,

456
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls coming up on Sunday from Orlando. We have

457
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: had and around the NFL employee uh writer on the

458
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: site and um, it is time to welcome on the phone.

459
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: And because Connor, we love Connor and and uh and

460
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: we're happy to hear from him when unfortunately we're not

461
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: going to see him at the super Bowl this year,

462
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: which we're all bummed out about. But because he's coming

463
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: on the phone. Worked with with Sydney UH to welcome

464
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: on the show in a special way. A man's man

465
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: got him mortgage drinks the brown stuff that rends up

466
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: his poliage. The next beating Manton by not State Ballet

467
00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: got super Bowl snubs. So it's Connor or Fando today?

468
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: You got some who are you kidding me? It's like

469
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: Fats Domino. I love it again with the weight, Colleen,

470
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: you know enough? Connor? Are you there? Hello? Everyone? How

471
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: you doing buddy? I'm doing well? That was that song

472
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: was really good. I enjoyed that. You said, well, you

473
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: sound a little somber right now. What's going on? Take

474
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: us through it? I got Uh. I got massively sunburned

475
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: on day one, so I went down to UH. There's

476
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: like a pro shop attached to my hotel. It's the

477
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: largest Marriott in the continental United States. You're plugged out

478
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: on the Marriotts too word. Yeah, sure, I've had conversations

479
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: with Connor. He could break down in detail each of

480
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: the tears to the Marriotts and uh and knows them

481
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: on a regional base is as well. So this one

482
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: is the largest in the country. Does that make it

483
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: a good Marriott or just a big Marriott? Oh? I

484
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: would say every Marriott's a good Marriott. It's like it's

485
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: like a little slice of home even when you're away. Wow,

486
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: that needs to be air sponsor. You're gunning for that

487
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: side promotion avatorial work. Um, so why don't where? Where

488
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: do we start? How? How is Orlando and what is

489
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: the what is the vibe with around the players? I

490
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: know you you've had good access with working on behalf

491
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: of the shield. What do you what's the sense down there?

492
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: As the pro Ball continues to explore ways to keep

493
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: it relevant now sending it out of Hawaii and into Florida,

494
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: I gotta say that bringing back the skills competition was

495
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: actually probably the best idea that they've had. Um to

496
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: try to regenerate interest, I was able to go to

497
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 1: like um, I went to a walk through where they

498
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: brought some of the players in early before yesterday's taping

499
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: Wednesday's taping, and uh, you know, people were into it,

500
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: especially the quarterbacks, and they were doing kind of the

501
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: accuracy challenge and stuff. I thought that was definitely, uh,

502
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: definitely something. But the other interesting thing about Orlando is

503
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: there's no restaurants here, which I thought was interesting. Excuse me,

504
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot of strip malls, right, yeah, I don't know.

505
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm just like I was like driving around like one

506
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: stretch of land for like three hours and there's just

507
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: no no restaurants my memory of Orlando as well. Can

508
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: you can you reveal who won the skills challenges? Little

509
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: breaking news that we announced we could this is this

510
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: is how we can before you answer, Connor, because it

511
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: is embargoed until Thursday night, but we could hold the

512
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: show a couple extra hours and that will allow us

513
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: to talk all the results of the skills show down.

514
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: Is it worth it? I don't think that's worth it.

515
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: I would say yes, but there's an armed guard right

516
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: that follows me around until after the until after the

517
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: taping air, So I'm not sure I want to all right,

518
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: we want to upset him without without I can talk,

519
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: I can talk Pro Bowl, you know, skills challenge, just

520
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: I can't reveal without revealing the winners. What were some

521
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: of the more interesting happenings that the Skills challenge? Who

522
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: should we look for that might have made a fool

523
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: of themselves? Are really thrived? Take us through it, I

524
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: would say, Uh, during the dodgeball, Uh, I saw one

525
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: of the greatest individual athletic performances by any human that

526
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my entire life. Um, and it

527
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: was sort of like like it made me, as a

528
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: person who was picked on in dodgeball, feel like really

529
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: connected and uh, you know it was it was an

530
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: emotional moment for me. I know, Jason Garrett really got

531
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: into it. We were standing near each other, saw him

532
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: kind of rooting on this person even though it you know,

533
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't his player, and you know, so I thought,

534
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: I think that's something. What division was that player in?

535
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: This is fun? Um one of well, one of the

536
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: two big ones, one of the two big divisions. Okay, man,

537
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: they really have you clamped down on Huh. It's also

538
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: just fun not to Yeah, just to mess around me

539
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: and have you had any because Kevin Patrick, once upon

540
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: a time, UH covered a Pro Bowl. We had him

541
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: on this very podcast and he ended up talking books,

542
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: I believe with Alex Mack then the Center for the Browns.

543
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Have you had any nice one on one conversations that

544
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: have been enlightening on some level. I talked to Joe

545
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: Thomas today and I will say that, like our show

546
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: only talks to Brown's offensive lineman. I liked how he

547
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: knew exactly what like he had worked out in his

548
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: own mind percent probability percentage. Uh that uh, them drafting

549
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback number one overall would actually work out, which

550
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: I thought was pretty interesting. And like speaks to the

551
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: new brain trust in Cleveland because they've they've definitely got him, uh,

552
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: numerically focused more so than he was already. And uh

553
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: he says it's about twenty five, So I think he's

554
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: encouraging him to go in a different direction. Wow, how

555
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: about this? How about this again? You don't want to

556
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: give away any faces, but I remember talking Pro Bowl,

557
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 1: you had some interesting stories about players last year. Can

558
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: you give us a blind item about a player that

559
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: perhaps you know, maybe got a little carried away at

560
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: the bar, or you saw something, saw them do something disturbing,

561
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: not revealing the player, but maybe sharing their behavior. Who

562
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: put you on the spot here. I'm sorry, No, that's okay.

563
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: It's very early in the week. I will say that

564
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: I've I've seen a lot of I've seen a lot

565
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: of crimes of fashion. I've seen players a lot of

566
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: cowboy boots in warm weather. Um, you know, and that

567
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: that was kind of bother sin to me. A couple

568
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: of guys getting a little out of shape, you know,

569
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: which is funny coming from me, and uh, you know,

570
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: just oh yeah, I will I won't say who it is,

571
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, but you shared a hall of famer this

572
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: on our on on on our instant messenger client had

573
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: now he had devolved from kind of athlete heavy set,

574
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: too heavy set, heavy set, a hall of famer. Okay,

575
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: No one's wanted to go over and be like, I know,

576
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: like exactly what's happening to you? And you know it's

577
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, you know not Antoine Walker, who was

578
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: featured on NFL Network rather large that surprising. Um? Alright,

579
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: and and Connor, you have any other takeaways from from

580
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: I know it is early, um or does is there

581
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: a sense that the players are excited? There was one

582
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: interesting uh quote? Uh that who loves it? Who said it? Uh? Oh?

583
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: It was Mike Evans had just found out when he

584
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: was in Orlando that the winners shares sixty four k

585
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: and the loser shares is thirty two thousand, and that

586
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: made him decide he's gonna play hard. Uh any of

587
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: that sentiment, does it seem like people care? It's good

588
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: that that's getting out now, because like I remember, I

589
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: was on the sidelines for the Pro Bowl in two

590
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen when the game and uh, one of

591
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: the players found out, like in the fourth quarter and

592
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: they were down by a touchdown and he begged his

593
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: coat to put him back in because he's like, I

594
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: was an undrafted free agent. I'm still in my first contract.

595
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: He's like, I need this money. It's not like you know,

596
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not just messing around. And a lot

597
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: of these guys, you know, they go ham at the bar.

598
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: They got all their friends down here. You know, the

599
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: difference between thirty two and sixty four is breaking even

600
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: for the weekend. So you know, this is uh, this

601
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: is uh, this is big. I'm I'm looking I'm looking

605
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: It's not just mouses and roller coasters. It's everything, not restaurants,

Speaker 1: you know wherever that takes me. I mean that's there's

612
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: there's miles of open road here. So yeah, well you

613
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: deserve it, big guy, Thank Paul. You know what Colleen

614
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: is fat shaming right now because I told her twenty

615
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: minutes ago that I didn't I didn't enjoy when when

Speaker 1: uh waiter is another type of people refer to me

617
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,080

618
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: the pretties you're going after. You know, uh, it's not

619
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: it's not the first time, and we're going to be

629
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Um? Connors? I ran that by

630
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: him yesterday, said I was thinking maybe working up a

631
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: song for you. I said, my only request is that

632
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: you work in that. They're not sending me to the

633
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Nicely done, nicely done. We will miss Connor.

634
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: Connor should be at the super Bowl. He is a

635
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl selection though, So that's good. That's true. That's true.

636
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: All right, So there you go. That's Connor or Greg.

637
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk your sub banger you wrote. You're not particularly

638
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: proud of it. I'm not unproud. But if every if

639
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: everything's a banger, you know, it's sort of cheapens. What's

640
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: a banger? Hey? When you're right, you're right. So you

641
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: wrote a you know, a piece of and uh, it's

642
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: got the headline ranking NFL coaching hires Anthony Lynn at

643
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: number one. That's the exact headline. By the way, check

644
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: out Connor stuff at NFL dot com, slash or a

645
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: lot of good Pro Bowl kind. He's writing a ton

646
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: of good stuff, and follow him on on Twitter where

647
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: he's posting fun videos and things for that nature. But

648
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: back to Greg, Greg, you have Anthony Lynn of the

649
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers the number one coaching higher. Now can

650
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: you break this down this from perspective, UH for Anthony Lynn,

651
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: what kind of job he's taking or the team's uh

652
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: decision making bringing the person in on? Well, I think

653
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: the content the information in here is good. The ranking

654
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: itself is kind of is a little is a little silly.

655
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: If I was power ranking the most meaningless rankings that

656
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: we make throughout the year, you know this might be

657
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: number one in the power ring. It's because I'm just

658
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, they haven't even then. Now Anthony Lynn ends

659
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: up being number one here because I'm picking who I

660
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: think is going to have some success, who has surrounded himself,

661
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: first of all with a good staff. He's got Gus

662
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: Bradley as his defensive coordinator. He's got Mike McCoy as

663
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: his h off. I mean sorry, Ken wizzen Hunt as

664
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator. He's got Philip Rivers, He's got a

665
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: nice roster and listening to Anthony Lynn, you know what,

666
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: what can you go off of? You listen. I listened

667
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: to his press conference. I've listened to him in a

668
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: couple of interviews. In terms of with Matt Moneys, I

669
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: like I like the cut of his jib. I like

670
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: the messages that he was sending. I like that he

671
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: was saying, I'm not worried about the running game anymore.

672
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm the coach of the whole team, and he was

673
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: talking about it, and he's been preparing for this day

674
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: since he started coaching. I liked your point in there

675
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: that the two coordinators there former head coaches too, so

676
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: it shows that he's not He has a lot of

677
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: self confidence in that right he wants to hire head coaches.

678
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: Shows to me that you have some self confidence. West

679
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: is laughing over he well, I mean with the caveat

680
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: that it's sort of a ridiculous exercise anyway, and no one,

681
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,479
Speaker 1: none of us can really know anything ahead of time.

682
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: He picked two of the biggest punching bags and tomato

683
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: cans from this podcast over last three years as guys

684
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: that you have faith in and Ken Wizzon hunting Gus

685
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: Bradley well, but I think they can. I think Ken

686
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: Wizzen it's a good coordinator I liked. I like having

687
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: continuity for Sandy. You don't think that he did a

688
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: good job with the Chargers the last two years. I

689
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: think I like the continuity that you don't have to

690
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: create a whole new offense. You have Philip Rivers in

691
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: a familiar system. And Gus Bradley. I'm not worried about

692
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: him as a as a coordinator. I think he did

693
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: a good job in Seattle. He wasn't ready to run

694
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: a team. I think Kyle Shanahan's brilliant. He has a

695
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: brilliant football mind. I would take him over all three

696
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: of those guys combined. I had him fourth because I

697
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: think that situation is so toxic that he's not gonna

698
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: who's he gonna hire as his defensive coordinator he has

699
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: I agree with that's that's a disaster. Uh, there's there's

700
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, there's whispers about Kyle Shanahan. The editors, you know,

701
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to take this this part wanted to

702
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: be taken out but doesn't Kyle Shanahan kind of fit

703
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: the mold of the guy who does not necessarily rub

704
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: everyone the right rub some people the wrong way. Uh,

705
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: just rub fifty three people into the super Bowl. That

706
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: that's fair talking Kyle Shanahan. No, I remember reading all

707
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: of those never. Oh, like, how's Julie. I can't wait

708
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: to see how Julio and Matt Ryan deal with Kyle Shanahan.

709
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: I think we found out. I mean, he he walked

710
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: out essentially on the Browns, and it was smart. It

711
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: was a career move. He thought that was gonna hurt

712
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: his career, and it did, but at different spots. He's

713
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: had certain controversies behind the scene. Now he has to

714
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: run an entire organization and it's just a tough situation.

715
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: And number two on the list, I'm gonna I'm gonna

716
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: thank you. Take exception to it. Okay, just a little strong.

717
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm hurt or anything by it, but

718
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: that he got Sean McVeigh, thirty years old, took the

719
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: job of the Los Angeles Rams youngest coach in league.

720
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: You have him number two on this list, which and

721
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: this is based on their likelihood for success in their

722
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: respectative success. But yeah, okay, well you should have put

723
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: real success. Okay, I'm just saying I'm reading. Yeah, he's

724
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: judged on a different scale than you know, Vance Joseph

725
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: for instance, based on their likelihood for relative success and

726
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: their respective tenures. Uh. He seems to me to be

727
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball because he might be stuck with

728
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: a Ryan Leaf level bust. Well, part of this was

729
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: everything is uncertain with all these new coaches. Five of

730
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 1: them are first time head coaches, the other ones Deag morone.

731
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: What certain is that Wade Phillips is one of the

732
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: greatest defensive coordinators of all time. And that's that's enough

733
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 1: for me. That that's something I know, and you know,

734
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: this guy will see if he's as impressive, you know

735
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: he he said he makes a good press conference. I

736
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: don't know if that makes for a good coach. He

737
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: certainly was a good interviewer. He learned from Mike Shanahan,

738
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and John Gruden, three of the best offensive

739
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: minds of the of the twenty one century. So he's

740
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: got that going for him. And he seems like an

741
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: exceptionally bright guy. His players love him, and the guys

742
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: he's worked with love him. Those are all positive marks.

743
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: Careful with the Ryan Leaf thing. Come on, well, I

744
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: mean Ryan out. Now we're gonna say we shouldn't be

745
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: thrown dirt, and you have been let it leading the

746
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: charge to barry Jared Goff. I buried Jared Goff because

747
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: he wasn't ready to play. That's what I've said consistently

748
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: all along. But Ryan Leaf didn't make it because he

749
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: was Ryan Leaf, because he didn't want to play football.

750
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean football was not a priority for him. Two

751
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: overall pick. He was that level of the first rounder.

752
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't mean Ryan Leaf. He kind of stands in

753
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: his own I shouldn't have used that example because people

754
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: know him more. Is not just a bad player, but

755
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: a total nightmare as a guy in the locker room.

756
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: He was the mcdown Cain mcnown's good JaMarcus. But also

757
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: he comes with baggage to we haven't heard anything. How

758
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: about blame Gabbert. There's some warning signs that he could

759
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: be that type of bus. But it's early. Yeah, it's early,

760
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: al r. Let's get back on track here. Number three, Greg,

761
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: you advanced Joseph. I like this job. I put him

762
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: all the way up at number one. How about that.

763
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: But he certainly takes over the easiest job, and in

764
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: his coordinators I think are a plus overall. Mike McCoy,

765
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: who's been there in Denver before. Joe Woods, we don't

766
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: know anything about him, but he had a strong enough

767
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: reputation people wanted to hire maybe elsewhere, and he's been

768
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: in that system coaching up the best secondary in the NFL.

769
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: They know him. So I kind of trust John Owe

770
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: implicitly that you know, this guy knows what he's doing,

771
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: but he's never really running you know, he's never run

772
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: an offense, I mean, or a defense. I mean, you've

773
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: never run a team or a defense. So he's just

774
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: getting the job because of all of these recommendations. Well,

775
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: he had a reputation as kind of the right hand

776
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: man even though he was a position coach for Ry Kubiak,

777
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: for Marvin Lewis, for Adam Gaze when he was a coordinator,

778
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: all of those guys you know, reportedly gave him really

779
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: strong recommendations that, look, this was kind of my guy

780
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: that I went to that that was an important asset

781
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: to me, and he must interview. Well. Elway liked him

782
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when he interviewed. I think

783
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: the trickiest thing for him is that. And there's no

784
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: we're not gonna pass judgment in Paxton Lynch either yet

785
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: because it's so early, but he's the first round pick

786
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 1: and they're gonna probably want to see him at some point.

787
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeons did a nice job last year, but he

788
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: didn't do a nice enough job where you table any

789
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: discussion about anybody else. As quarterback, he enters kind of

790
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: a difficult situation with a young two young quarterbacks and

791
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: trying to figure out who's the guy. I think you're seeing,

792
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: and I think Mike McCoy is ultimately going to have

793
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: a huge part in that, and we'll see how how

794
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: he handles it. I think you're seeing more teams look

795
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: to these guys as kind of the CEO type rather

796
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: looking for some sort of offensive genius or defensive gene.

797
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: I mean, vance Joseph ran one defense and it wasn't

798
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: very good, and they hired him because they thought he

799
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: was going to be a leader. And that was kind

800
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: of what Gary Kubiak got hired for two number four.

801
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: We spoke about him. Kyle Shannon Shanahan, who's not technically

802
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 1: the coach of the forty Honors yet, but everything points

803
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: to him becoming the Hontors coach once the Falcon season

804
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: is over. Is this a situation, Greg, where you like

805
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: Shanahan and his potential, but the job is just so

806
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: bad that he's in a tough spot, right, and we'll

807
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: see how he handles running an organization. I think giving

808
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: a guy that's never been a head coach like that

809
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: all the power that he's going to have, he's expected

810
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: to hire the GM. That's why his dad got fired.

811
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan. The GM got Mike Shanahan the coach fired.

812
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: And if Kyle Shanahan has as much power, let's say,

813
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 1: as a Bill Belichick type, he's hiring the GM, that's

814
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: a lot. It's a lot to ask taking over what

815
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: I would say that is the worst the worst roster,

816
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: maybe the worst organization in the NFL. Number five model

817
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: own you've got Doug Moron and the Jags. Uh. You know,

818
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: he had the strange departure from Buffalo two years ago,

819
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: kind of went underground, became the old lined coach, worked

820
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: his way back up and surprised people by holding out

821
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: to the job after having the interim label ripped off

822
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: Mike Malarkey. We had some fun at his expense going

823
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: into last year and that worked out. Maybe. Dug Moron

824
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: is another case. Well, I think I did this exercise

825
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: last year, and Malarkey, I'm sure it was at or

826
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: near the bottom. I'm an idiot. No, Well, a lot

827
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: of us thought the same thing. I'm just saying he

828
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: he has a chance. I mean we kinda I kind

829
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: of pointed out how they haven't really changed much. I

830
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: don't know, you don't know what you're getting. Doug Moron, like,

831
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: what was he in Buffalo? How would you like to

832
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: be known as the new Malarkey? Well, here's the question

833
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: about the Jacks just in general. I've went three and

834
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: thirteen last year with Gus Bradley there most of the

835
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: way with a better coach. I'm not gonna say Belichick,

836
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: but who's like a tier below Bell. Let's say Andy Reid.

837
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is the head coach of the Jags last year?

838
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 1: Is that a winning team? I I would I would

839
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: trust in Andy Reid to do something? Is that a

840
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: nine ten one team instead of a three? It does

841
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: a coach make that much difference for the Jags? It

842
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 1: all depends. I mean, no, nobody, nobody was fixing Blake Bortles.

843
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: If he came to camp with his mechanics that bad.

844
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't. You could have had Bill belichicken you're not

845
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna win. But and Andy Reid comes with probably a

846
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: better planet on defense than keeping this guy better staff. Probably. Yeah,

847
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: that's interesting because what Jalen Ramsey said how they needed

848
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: a total change right that, that's a little bit of

849
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: an eye opener. I mean it's you know, it's just

850
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: one player. But literally after the season they asked, you know,

851
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, and he said, we need to completely change

852
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: our coaching staff and completely change our scheme. How would

853
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: you like to be? Todd wash showing back up into

854
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: the room being like, hey, thanks for thanks for campaigning

855
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 1: to fire me, was like, wash out, see yourself out

856
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: of he is my defensive room. Now. Uh. People give

857
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 1: Dug Moron a little too much credit for going nine

858
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: and seven. That was that was the world's getting too

859
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: much credit from someone that was Jim Schwartz's defense. They

860
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: were variants have nice things to say about him this week. Cook,

861
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 1: I'm science kno n head, you know what I'm saying, Hey,

862
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: can I but we know we can relate to young players.

863
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: So that's good speaking because I mean, now we heard it.

864
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: Can I also hear because I always love to hear

865
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: uh Doug's take on hip hop culture and what it's

866
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: all about? What are the roots of the rap of

867
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: the New York City thing? And it ain't nothing about

868
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: race culture New York City? Good old dog. So he

869
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: left Buffalo And now you know, Bills fans they deserve

870
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 1: they deserve a medal that they wear around, a medal

871
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: of honor for sticking with his team. Because Greg has

872
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott as the worst head coaching higher in in

873
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: his sub banger and why is he Why is he

874
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the six pack right, Well, someone

875
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: has to be last. You know Bill's fans have been

876
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: the Bill are sick of hearing that. They've been blowing

877
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: up my They've been blowing up my mentions and you

878
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: keep doing it. Hey, someone's gotta be last. They can

879
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: eat it. Here's why Sean McDermott and his staff have

880
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: proven I would say, less than any other staff. And

881
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: the situation is difficult and the expectations I think are

882
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: too high from ownership. They think this is some sort

883
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: of playoff, you know, championship contending roster. Sean McDermott has

884
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: made his name under Ron Rivera a defensive coach. He's

885
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: had two top ten defenses in eight years as as

886
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: a defensive cordiners, So it's not like the Panthers have

887
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: been lighting it up as a defense. Rick Dennison is

888
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: well respected. He's always been under Gary Kubiak, basically Kubiak

889
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: being the guy that runs the opposite We don't you know,

890
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: we don't know much about this guy. I don't know.

891
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: You were still running Rhodo World, you would have written

892
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: this article with bullet points instead of numbers. Would not

893
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: have called it ranking the new coaches. You would have

894
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: just provided analysis. I think that puts you in a

895
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: bit of a pickle your thoughts on that, I don't mind.

896
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all the same information in there. Anyways.

897
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: The information is is good. I'm just like, how do

898
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: we know if if Sean McDermott's number six or number Wow,

899
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: that's fair. We don't need to argue who's I think

900
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: he's got a very tough job, though you disagree, doesn't

901
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: he have among the toughest jobs of any of these guys. Yes, Greg,

902
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: now that we've analyzed your article, do you have any regrets? No,

903
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: no regrets. Okay, there you go. Check it out. Greg

00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: drive from southern California to Houston, Texas? Uh? Hashtag road

930
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: to Houston. Hi, guys, I'm there to Yeah. I wanted

931
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: to say how exciting this is because of after years

932
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: of writing countless stories about the NFL and also years

933
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: of being married to Colleen, I finally made the pot

934
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: as Marks Valet, this is great. I'm gonna have to

935
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: keep amount of accidents and gods. I believe you're aware

936
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 1: that your wife, and you can tell by her laugh,

937
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: Uh is with us right now. So this gives her

938
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with you and perhaps you

939
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: know past as you I don't know, go after you

940
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. She's has some issues right now related

941
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:51,280
Speaker 1: to the house that I do. I do I do, John.

942
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: I believe that if there's a lot of things to

943
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: to maintain at shaken Valde. We're having a grand time

944
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: right now now that we're on the road for I

945
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: mean for the listeners and also for you guys. This

946
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: is not today. We spent the day in the desert

947
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: looking for an alien crash site, which is like not

948
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: probably the weirdest thing I've ever done with Mark Sessler

949
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: one time he drives me to a house in Venice

950
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: that apparently was a murder house where many grizzly homicide

951
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 1: had happened. So it's just on the left, just another

952
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: just another thing. We had a fascinating day because we

953
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 1: woke up you after we were loved Texas at the moment.

954
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: Started the day in Santa Fe, which is I've never

955
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: been there. It's a beautiful town in New Mexico's you know,

956
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: took about a three hour drive south to Roswell and

957
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,959
Speaker 1: how did circle up and down the highway to find

958
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: this little tiny dirt road where if you continue up

959
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: that road for an hour, which we chose not to do,

960
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: you would be at where apparently this this alien craft,

961
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, spiraled to earth, right, I believe in nine

962
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: in that realm. Is there any reason to go there. Now,

963
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: Well that's what we were looking into. And there is

964
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: a stone pillar there with so you know, someone had

965
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: carved out an inscription about what happened. The much better

966
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: site that we've found was the Museum, which is another

967
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes up the road. And I didn't know if

968
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: if Gonzo was going to be a fan or not,

969
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: but he was having more of a good time than

970
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 1: I was. He was. You were bopping around, You enjoyed yourself.

971
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: I prior to this trip was sort of alien agnostic, uh,

972
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: and now I'm all in, so I'm coming. That was

973
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: actually gonna be one of my questions whether Gonza would

974
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: be made a believer. Um, I have a question for you, Mark,

975
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: and this is uh an honest question. Why are you

976
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: doing this? It's a good question. I came up with

977
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 1: the idea of about a month or so ago and

978
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: just thought it would be fun to get in the

979
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: car and see what's in between Los Angeles and the

980
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl versus just for me this time just flying there.

981
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: And I really went in thinking that I was going

982
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: to go alone and have to drive and you know,

983
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: record whatever happened at night on a laptop in a

984
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: lonely room. The best decision and what made this I

985
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,919
Speaker 1: think quite fun so far, is going with someone else

986
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: and maybe next time it could be all of us.

987
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: You know, there were budgetary concerns and the road concerns

988
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: from our employer. But John, he's a free agent, literally,

989
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: and he was able to go. And he's been an

990
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: absolutely perfect traveling partner. All right, let's let's stop there.

991
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring in Chris Wessling. Now, how about the

992
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: idea that Chris is a little hurt that he's not

993
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: on this Carolacs journey to Houston. Let's talk about that

994
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 1: a little bit? Sure? I mean I, as I mentioned

995
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: to Chris and Dan immediately covered his face. Mark, I

996
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: want embarrassed after he asked this ridiculous question, but it

997
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: is I hope Chris has not hurt. I think Chris

998
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: knows that we would love to number one. We should speak, Chris,

999
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: speak for yourself, Chris, I can explain the reason after this.

1000
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: I am not hurt at all. I am happy for

1001
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: Mark because I know that this is something he wanted

1002
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: to do and he's the perfect person to do it.

1003
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: Am I a little bit jealous? Do I wish? I

1004
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 1: is with him. Sure, sure, I wish this is exactly

1005
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: the kind of thing I would love to do. Where

1006
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: does that leave you with Gonzo? I love Gonzo great

1007
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: and I can I will say this, this is genuine.

1008
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to read the finished product. Yeah, that's Mark.

1009
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: So when you write this up and where we heard

1010
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna land early next week, it's going is it

1011
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: gonna be about football? What's what's? What is this going

1012
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: to be about? Do you know what is about? Yet? Well?

1013
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: I decided not to actually write anything. I'm myself. We're

1014
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: having a great time. I don't know if that's part

1015
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 1: of its relevant. But they're on the run right now.

1016
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: We're just on the run. I'm not even sure we

1017
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: may pass through Houston, keep going right through that wall

1018
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: to Mexico. But I would say that what what was

1019
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: the question? Again? What? What why am I writing? And no,

1020
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: just in general, like, what are in your your plan

1021
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: when you sit down to write about your adventure? Is

1022
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: it about football? Is it about just the journey to Houston?

1023
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: What do you have a general idea about the direction

1024
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: that of the piece that we're we're all excited to read. Well,

1025
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: I hope it will masterfully you know, inter interweave vote

1026
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: because we've talked to a lot of people along the

1027
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: way about football league. For instance, when we were at

1028
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: the Alien Museum, we got an interview with the executive

1029
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: director of the museum, an old fellow and a really

1030
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: nice guy. But we all got talked a little football.

1031
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: So excuse me, you got him. You were able to

1032
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 1: book the executives are you know, about ten people the

1033
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: museum and he was busy, But I got in there

1034
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: and I got in that office and I got quote,

1035
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: He's like, I'll give you three minutes. But that sounds cool. No,

1036
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: it's talked to upwards of three or four Junny's waters.

1037
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 1: It's really been amazing. Well we are now here's the thing.

1038
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: I think it's going to pick up the team from

1039
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: the football because we're gonna be in Fort Worth in

1040
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: Dallas over the next day. Tonight we're in Lubbock, which

1041
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: is a big college town. Guy at our hotels and

1042
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: you've got to get out Tonight the huge night for

1043
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 1: the college kids, which are roughly about twenty years younger

1044
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: than us. So we'll see how that goes. But we'll

1045
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: we'll continue to talk to people. People have opinions, I

1046
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: think one thing I'm talking to fans is they just

1047
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 1: they don't they're not trying to save face or you know,

1048
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: build bridges with anyone when they have a football opinion.

1049
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: They don't cut any corners. That's cool. And and you

1050
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: brought up Gonzo, Um Denny's now Mark. We're always fascinated

1051
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: by Mark's eating habits. And Colleen had told us on

1052
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: Tuesday that when she first started dating Gonzo, she noted, uh, internally,

1053
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: that that Gonzo kind of ate like a serial killer.

1054
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: Have you guys noticed each other's kind of idiosyncracities when

1055
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: it comes to eating stuff, So we've been kind of

1056
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: feeding off each other's rhythms on that front. Today, for example,

1057
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: we got up early, you had a cup of coffee, uh,

1058
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: and then went looking for alien crash sites and haven't

1059
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: eaten yet. So we're gonna do that next. But this

1060
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: is there in the afternoon, you haven't eaten, But it's

1061
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: actually a central time. And I also think it's not

1062
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: just the eating rhythms. We are starting to as you

1063
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: would adopt each other's phrase, get phrases and and and

1064
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: the way that anything would be described. You know, Gonzo

1065
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: is starting a revolution with his I think Colle knows

1066
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: whether it's his GC terminology or all or great call,

1067
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: depending on it. So we just you know, we're starting

1068
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: to John, it's not going to be a thing. Is

1069
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: not happening, Sorry, Colleen. That's a thing. So if somebody

1070
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: makes a point that you're plugged in on John and

1071
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: you agree with you just go GC. You could be

1072
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: that's a good one where you say, hey, have you

1073
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: guys listen to me around the NFL podcast this weekend?

1074
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: Nice GC. Very It's very kind of like, now, you

1075
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: don't know, it's not a thing. It's good. I'm personal.

1076
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm standing in my ground on this one. Are you

1077
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: interrupt I'm out there? Well, yeah, you know that randomly, Gonzo,

1078
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: we have a lot of like connective tissue because I

1079
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: just found out that you have a blue pen phobia,

1080
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: as do I. I threw an app before the show

1081
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: and back in college I try to start something my

1082
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: senior year that I try to catch on with my

1083
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: friends and the dorms, which was LBS, which meant, let's

1084
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: be serious. Oh, I like you, now, this is gonna

1085
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: be great. We'll have not to be confused with say

1086
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: not to be confused with ibs. Irritable bowels to pound

1087
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: differently struggle, but I'm on board with it. We can do.

1088
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: This will be a free exchange of acronyms. Can I

1089
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: tell you why won't work? It's the same number of syllables?

1090
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: Is a good call exactly. That's one of my playing

1091
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: All the cool kids are abbreviating these days. John also

1092
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: likes to throw this g's up for Gonzalez. Oh well

1093
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: in that case, yeah, I like some of these things.

1094
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: We're in love it. They throw their guns up for

1095
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: the Redorators, so we'll do instead of the guns. One

1096
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite things about this rip is face timing

1097
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: with the both of them to say good night as

1098
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: they share a hotel room. And last night, um they

1099
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: I guess Mark had broken into the mini bar and

1100
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: they had a key I don't know, some delicious master

1101
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: key to every mini bar, watch some HBO and then

1102
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: fell asleep at the skeleton key. The whole are We

1103
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: were very into the Young Pope and we were trying

1104
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: to watch the latest episode. A disaster occurred that I

1105
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: lost my glasses, which means fundamentally will not be able

1106
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: to see what's happening during the Super Bowl. So Gonza

1107
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: inform me that I can buy something called readers. Readers. Yeah,

1108
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna look. Sorry, you're not driving then without the

1109
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: glasses because I think we've we've made the right choice

1110
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: about who should be doing the majority, if not all,

1111
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: of the driving from the minute the trip started, and

1112
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: it's not the person speaking. Did you drive at all? Sessler? Well,

1113
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing, honestly, this is what has been so great.

1114
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: Because I'm writing on on my phone or on the

1115
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: on the laptop. Well, John does the driving, and like

1116
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: we've had pretty short it's not majorly long segments. It's

1117
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of hours here, a couple of

1118
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: hours there. First day was a little rough, but that's

1119
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: okay because the division of labor has been wonderful. Like

1120
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: we said, we're really getting into each other's room. He's writing,

1121
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm driving, neither of us are eating, and then your beer, Like,

1122
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: what are you getting paid for this by Mark? John? Uh, Well,

1123
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: he's not paying for much at all. Let's put it

1124
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: that way. If they paid for vacation, and you know vacation,

1125
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm flying him, I'm flying him home. They're on a

1126
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: buddy moon right now. This is honestly, this is what

1127
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 1: Mark has always wanted to have a friend that doesn't

1128
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: need to eat like him, and we always we've been

1129
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: letting him down in this department on the open road.

1130
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: What could be better? Imagine how much time and like

1131
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: and part of the whole serial killer eating habits like

1132
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 1: isn't us the fact that he doesn't eat, but also

1133
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: like John will take if he's eating a stack, if

1134
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: he has a couple of cookies or something chocolate chip cookies,

1135
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: he will put them on top of each other based

1136
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: on size and then eat the smallest one to the

1137
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 1: largest one. He also has certain rules for eating Reese's cups,

1138
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: for eating like pizza, for eating various items. This all

1139
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: makes sense to me. That feels extremely accusatory. Having spent

1140
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: a couple of days with Gone, so I think he's

1141
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: eating habits are really beyond critique. All right, So there

1142
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: you go. There's the update. The next time the listeners

1143

1180
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: both in backing vocals on the Connor song, and uh

1183
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: would lead me, but I'm glad we're here. Yes, you

1184
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 1: and and Kirk Cousins. I don't know. Is he married, Yeah,

1185
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: he's got kids. See this is this is the conundrum,

1186
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: is that he also has an autobiography that came out

1187
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: two years ago. Okay, let's calm down with that everybody is,

1188
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, an awful lot about Kirk Cousins. Rosie just shrugs.

1189
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: He just gives me my job, all right. Whatever the

1190
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: problem is that Sydney. We wanted to get We wanted

1191
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: to settle down with a rich quarterback. But those goody

1192
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: two shoe guys, they usually get married by the time

1193
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: they're like twenty two to the college or high school sweetheart.

1194
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 1: We gotta find somebody. I want a flawed quarterback, West,

1195
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: but also very pure in mind and spirit. Yeah, if

1196
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: you feel like you're like Kirk Cousins, you can tweet

1197
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 1: at around the NFL. Do you mind that we're matchmaking

1198
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: for you. Awfully hard to find an unmarried quarterback period,

1199
01:05:55,400 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: West knows say, look at him, girl married? All right,

1200
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: we'll ast you cut to the core of the conversation.

1201
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Does she want Colin Kaepernick? Not her speed? Not her speed?

1202

Speaker 1: All right. We will be back tuesday. Thank you to everyone.
