Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast. What's Gregg to give the
Speaker 1: best man's speech at their wedding? From the Chris Westling
Speaker 1: podcast studio, It's Around the NFL. I'm Dan Hansis, I
Speaker 1: got Mark Sessler, I got Colleen Wolf. It's a Tuesday
Speaker 1: show after all. And Mr best man's speech himself, Greg Rosenthal.
Speaker 1: Good on this road again, feel weird energy right now?
Speaker 1: I did give some good best man speeches two? Right?
Speaker 1: Is this all one? Didn't when you talk down to
Speaker 1: Justin for wanting to go more than a couple of minutes? Yeah, yeah, certainly? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what did you decide it should be two minutes? Or so? Five?
Speaker 1: Five under five A type five is good, can't be ten?
Speaker 1: But then if you do three minutes, then it's like
Speaker 1: why are you even here? Right? It depends on how Yeah,
Speaker 1: what does best friendship mean? Like you come up and
Speaker 1: you've got two and a half minutes of content? Says
Speaker 1: a lot. It certainly does. What if the maid of
Speaker 1: honor goes up and absolutely no, I love, I love.
Speaker 1: I've done this four or five times. But when the
Speaker 1: maid of honor just absolutely nose dives ahead of you,
Speaker 1: you can do no wrong and you've never seen the dead.
Speaker 1: I've never seen a maid of honor kill that actually
Speaker 1: happened to really not yet kill. I agree with you, yeah,
Speaker 1: kill the room, absolutely not. They're big, get a little
Speaker 1: come no one on my weddings. I've been a maid
Speaker 1: of Honor quite a few times. Yes, of course I did.
Speaker 1: I think you'd be great. I've seen one do an
Speaker 1: incredible job because she went out of bounds with some
Speaker 1: of her commentary. Yeah, and that's that's what you can't
Speaker 1: You gotta be not safe and I think that's yes,
Speaker 1: that's so important. Do we have this conversation probably for
Speaker 1: the entire in this month. I don't know if you're
Speaker 1: new to the show, but we just rehab the exact
Speaker 1: same conversations like a few times a year, and then
Speaker 1: it's a new season and the maid of honors out there.
Speaker 1: Don't let the best man show you up by being
Speaker 1: edgy and working a little blue. You can do it too,
Speaker 1: And by the way, don't come killing us on Twitter
Speaker 1: about anti Maid of Honor commentary. I've seen a quit
Speaker 1: less and I think it's possible. And I totally trusted Colleen.
Speaker 1: I am living proof. I would never disagree with I
Speaker 1: hope I lived to see it. Roll the dice. You
Speaker 1: ask it, we're starting the age out of like wedding
Speaker 1: seasons unfortunately. Yeah, well, yes, we have coming up that
Speaker 1: I'm in not me right, Well, you're you're, you're you're cool. Alright, kid, um,
Speaker 1: here we go. I take it you are excited because
Speaker 1: the Eagles are one step away from another Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and you will be in Philadelphia this week. I'm going
Speaker 1: to Philly. I'm going back home. It's very exciting. I
Speaker 1: cannot wait. Connie. You are really traveling the NFL world.
Speaker 1: I'm doing the circuit. Yeah, it's great, it's great. Just
Speaker 1: got back from Buffalo late last night, and that was
Speaker 1: so much fun as much, I guess because the obviously
Speaker 1: there were more Bills fans there than Bengals fans, but
Speaker 1: because totally was terrible. That's why it wasn't a bit
Speaker 1: of a buzz kill a little bit. What was it
Speaker 1: like after the game at the stadium. I heard a
Speaker 1: lot of Cincinnati fans there. There were a ton of
Speaker 1: Since fans there, so that was that was good, But
Speaker 1: it was somber. It was a little But then, weren't
Speaker 1: you looking for a place to go out on the
Speaker 1: town in Buffalo after the game. I was trying to
Speaker 1: find a place in Buffalo to watch the Eagles game
Speaker 1: on Saturday night. Um, but instead I just watched it.
Speaker 1: They be in a better mood on Saturday night. Yes, um, alright,
Speaker 1: so yes, and then there were four four teams left.
Speaker 1: Championship Sunday coming up this weekend. We will have our
Speaker 1: preview of Championship Sunday on Thursday, so make sure you
Speaker 1: check that out. And of course the flagship program Sunday
Speaker 1: night will recap and talk about who's playing in Super
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty seven in Glendale, Arizona. We will be there.
Speaker 1: That's when we get on a plane, Connie and we
Speaker 1: will be at the super Bowl. So we're kind of
Speaker 1: mirroring the finish line here, Greggy in a lot of ways. Well,
Speaker 1: we had six weeks of the preseason, you know, of
Speaker 1: working in the preseason. Since camp started, we had eight
Speaker 1: teen regular season weeks. We've now had two playoff weeks,
Speaker 1: so that's twenty six weeks total. I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1: I hate when this happens, because it's true. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it. We're now passed halfway through this season. Finally
Speaker 1: about you know, halfway point on the past weekend, it
Speaker 1: felt like we basically like wildcard round or the end
Speaker 1: of the regular season is the equivalent of hump day.
Speaker 1: So we're coming in for a landing, a long landing.
Speaker 1: UM all right, coming up today, UM tech. Tech is
Speaker 1: the future. Tech will always be the future. And that's
Speaker 1: and and science is the path forward for human humans,
Speaker 1: and and it could be the end. Let's face it
Speaker 1: can go in a lot of different directions. And with
Speaker 1: that said, coming up is a wonderful piece of hardware,
Speaker 1: UM that and software. It's a it's cool right, yep.
Speaker 1: The software is run inside the hardware. Beautiful mix of
Speaker 1: the beautiful mix synergy UM. Bridget returns. It's hit a
Speaker 1: on around the NFL. Long awaited. It's been a while
Speaker 1: spenty minute since we've seen Bridget, so Lamar Jackson like
Speaker 1: contract situation, we've settled it. See, I thought Bridget Condon
Speaker 1: was coming on the show today. I said, we're gonna
Speaker 1: do Bridget today, and Connie thought our colleague mis Condon
Speaker 1: was joining us until two minutes ago. So you have
Speaker 1: a whole line of questioning for Bridget. And yeah, she's
Speaker 1: at the collegiate bole right now. So that was a
Speaker 1: good waste to throw out this note and to open
Speaker 1: like the kimono one step further, like there was um
Speaker 1: we you know we we were like, wait, we did
Speaker 1: Bridget before, Like on the show, we've had Bridget on
Speaker 1: the computer, Like what on what was the segment? We're like,
Speaker 1: we never even know what the segment is. It's like
Speaker 1: I went back to look for Bridget to understand how
Speaker 1: we interact whether which was largely not in my favorite
Speaker 1: I realized. But like, we'll get to that. That's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons Bridget how to go into the shop
Speaker 1: because been on our show, you could not find Bridget
Speaker 1: the hardware software UM machine anywhere in the search. So
Speaker 1: it's a problems and Bridget is an acronym. We're going
Speaker 1: to get to all of it, but before we do that,
Speaker 1: let's hit the news so big, thank you. What was that?
Speaker 1: That is? Uh? Oh, you don't know? That is the
Speaker 1: wonderful Who is it? Um? In eight for Brady coming
Speaker 1: out early next month UM one of the more head
Speaker 1: scratching films ever to be UH produced by a major
Speaker 1: studio and released. Who is this film for? That is
Speaker 1: my question? Brady is part of the production team I
Speaker 1: think it's for my mom, is it? Yeah? She it's
Speaker 1: all about it. I mean, I mean I haven't talked
Speaker 1: at length with her, but she's a fan of these actresses.
Speaker 1: Certainly she's a Patriots fan. I think it's made for
Speaker 1: my mom. That is a fairly narrow audience, though, like
Speaker 1: your mom had other friends that I think fill that
Speaker 1: demographic film. My mom and her friends, so Boston or
Speaker 1: Massachusetts area. Mom's of a certain age. That's a very
Speaker 1: quite a demostratic, like I would like to know the
Speaker 1: budget of the film, and then when they did their
Speaker 1: extended research, are we going to cover you know, sally
Speaker 1: Field salary with the box office of Wilburham, Massachusetts, and
Speaker 1: we should have a watch party for it? Well, I
Speaker 1: will not be watching for Brady. I have to tell you. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come over and we're all going to hang out.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a nice team building event. It's also
Speaker 1: based around a super Bowl that occurred five or six
Speaker 1: years and I was wondering about that. It's like, why
Speaker 1: did it take so long to bring this to fruition.
Speaker 1: It's it is based on apparently on a true story,
Speaker 1: and so it went through the machinations of the story
Speaker 1: getting out there at some point then, because I was like,
Speaker 1: why did this not about four or five, six, seven, eight?
Speaker 1: Nine years ago? Bowl? There? But but what's the point
Speaker 1: of is now nine years ago? Right? No? I think
Speaker 1: it was actually Patriots I and just that heads up
Speaker 1: Paramount Pictures. There is an issue with football movies and
Speaker 1: and and Hollywood making good ones come to us ask questions.
Speaker 1: We can give you a roadmap. I mean that's fair.
Speaker 1: But when you can get to dynamic on screen personalities
Speaker 1: like Brady and Gronk in the same movie, can you
Speaker 1: play that again the way Gronk says? This is just
Speaker 1: it gets me so big. Thank you man. Alright, let's
Speaker 1: get to eight for Brady. I guess I'll give it
Speaker 1: a plug coming out February third. Everyway I spoke about
Speaker 1: it for like nine minutes. All right, let's start with
Speaker 1: the biggest story, the biggest health store, I should say. Uh.
Speaker 1: In the NFL had a championship weekend. Uh, Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: what is going on with that ankle? We suffered the
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain on Saturday against the Jaguars. Andy Reid
Speaker 1: said in his press conference on Monday that the sprain
Speaker 1: isn't that bad and it's not as bad as the
Speaker 1: one he suffered a few years back and played through.
Speaker 1: So again, Connie, they're all everything is pointing to, Yes,
Speaker 1: Mahomes is playing, But the big question of going against
Speaker 1: the mighty Bengals, who are playing at a very sky
Speaker 1: high level. Will this version of Mahomes be good enough
Speaker 1: against a great opponent. Well, every time Joe Burrow and
Speaker 1: these Bengals have played the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes has been
Speaker 1: and they've lost every single time. So that is a
Speaker 1: little concerning going into this game. And obviously he can
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes can be a pocket quarterback just as well
Speaker 1: as he can add live different plays. But that's his strength.
Speaker 1: And Mahomes he's never been in a position where he's
Speaker 1: missed an entire week of practice and then played a
Speaker 1: game in the NFL. So all of this is new
Speaker 1: territory against a team that is absolutely locked in and
Speaker 1: loaded on both sides of the ball, and it seems
Speaker 1: like there's nothing that's going to stop them anytime soon.
Speaker 1: And we saw his mobility how limited it was after
Speaker 1: that hit. I mean he didn't throw any passes outside
Speaker 1: of the pocket, and that is an area that he
Speaker 1: led the NFL in last ye or the season, so
Speaker 1: it's it's problematic. He led the NFL though, in in
Speaker 1: touchdowns inside the pocket too, so it's like he his
Speaker 1: numbers went up in that game, which is crazy, like
Speaker 1: his yards per attempt, Like his second half numbers were
Speaker 1: actually better per throw. Not that you don't lie though
Speaker 1: he wasn't. I kind of forgot that ankle spraining at
Speaker 1: in It was his left ankle, so that's a little different.
Speaker 1: You know, you're it's not your plant ankle. But he
Speaker 1: did follow up that ankle sprain, which read is saying
Speaker 1: and he has some self interest in saying that it's
Speaker 1: not worse. He did follow that up with seven touchdowns
Speaker 1: and like eight hundred yards in his next two games.
Speaker 1: Do you think that maybe, And you know, there is
Speaker 1: some talk out there that sometimes the the top broad
Speaker 1: cast booths in the league just get a little bit
Speaker 1: relentless in their praise of these big quarterbacks and it
Speaker 1: almost gets in the way of the telecast at times.
Speaker 1: Is this all just a long con mark for Mahomes
Speaker 1: to play out of his mind on Sunday and to
Speaker 1: be turned into its own movie In a few years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean if I were to pick anyone where that
Speaker 1: would happen the whole dynamic with the announcing team that
Speaker 1: you mentioned in all that business. Um, yes, I mean
Speaker 1: just because it's not because I think like Mahomes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he played really well against Jacksonville after the injury, and
Speaker 1: they're very adaptable. I think I trust the Chiefs and
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Mahomes to be more adaptable with like
Speaker 1: the pocket stuff. You can also you know, you can
Speaker 1: roll them out to a side where like the line
Speaker 1: is moving with him if you want to do some
Speaker 1: of that stuff. It does take elements of their of
Speaker 1: their offensiveway. But who do you trust more to, like
Speaker 1: with their seven thousand play page book like playbook that
Speaker 1: they put together over the years to come up with
Speaker 1: the counter and to make it work. And so yes,
Speaker 1: I could see if it's gonna be a movie, I
Speaker 1: mean think we're getting movie Sunday. But like and it is.
Speaker 1: It does speak to the great unknowable nous of sports
Speaker 1: that you know, how many more pounds or ounces of
Speaker 1: pressure needed to be put on that leg before it broke,
Speaker 1: like Tony Pollard's day, and they survived. He was able
Speaker 1: to get out of there without it bringing being a
Speaker 1: broken lower leg. And now he has a chance to
Speaker 1: win another Super Bowl. That's good because that would have
Speaker 1: been a supreme bummer if the Chiefs survived. But we
Speaker 1: got Henny. You don't need that Burrow. Are you saying
Speaker 1: that Mahomes has superior bones. I think his bones are
Speaker 1: rock solid because usually a high ankle spraining, you usually
Speaker 1: are out. I mean, I don't think. I think there's
Speaker 1: a there's a non zero chance that we get some
Speaker 1: Chad Henny on Sunday, probably not for the first snap,
Speaker 1: but you just don't know. Yeah, that's that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Let's check in with the Patriots, Greggy, who have made
Speaker 1: their higher um at offensive coordinator. And it's a familiar name,
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, Old Billy Boy, his offensive He was the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in New England from two thousand nine to
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven. Uh, and now he returns um from
Speaker 1: the college game to try to fix an offense that,
Speaker 1: let's face it, pretty much created with Matt Patricia leading
Speaker 1: the way. I love it, I don't. I'm surprised. I
Speaker 1: love anything involving Bill O'Brien. But when you're replacing Matt
Speaker 1: Patricia as offensive coordinator. And you think back to that
Speaker 1: oh nine to eleven teams, I think I would argue
Speaker 1: those are some of the most influential offenses of the
Speaker 1: last twenty years. They kind of changed the game in
Speaker 1: terms of hurry up and their two tight ends and
Speaker 1: they and Bill O'Brien was the guy behind it. And yes,
Speaker 1: he's been an annoying figure like running the Texans and
Speaker 1: kind of taking power, and he clearly plays the media well.
Speaker 1: I think he has some fans at the highest levels
Speaker 1: of the Patriots organization. Like all that could be annoying
Speaker 1: at times, but like his offenses were always quite good,
Speaker 1: like Deshaun Watson played his best football with Bill O'Brien
Speaker 1: and all the case Keenum and all the people that
Speaker 1: like he ended up coaching up Like I'm I think
Speaker 1: Tom Brady loved him. Uh, they were feeling themselves so
Speaker 1: much during that era, where like remember the week they
Speaker 1: went and just had Chip Kelly before Chip Kelly became
Speaker 1: someone that we all knew about with Philly et cetera. Uh,
Speaker 1: just come into the Patriots building and kind of teach
Speaker 1: him his you know, high speed offense, and then he
Speaker 1: went and ran it. Against the Peyton Manning Broncos and
Speaker 1: like did something no other NFL team had done. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think that was I don't think that was
Speaker 1: the Bill O'Brien year at o C because that was
Speaker 1: only one yearn and they came in second or third
Speaker 1: and points scored. They were a high powered offense. He's
Speaker 1: not O'Brien the GM. I don't need that business and
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get that. I mean, to me, it's
Speaker 1: great for Mac Jones, who also helped teach Bill O'Brien
Speaker 1: what Alabama was doing when he went to Alabama's the
Speaker 1: relationships already there. I think that's how glowing we are. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the key. He's Patricia. So if they had hired
Speaker 1: Mike La I would have been as excited or more,
Speaker 1: just like anyone that anybody used to have an offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator back in New England like that. That seems like
Speaker 1: the right move. Yeah. They completely set up Mac Jones
Speaker 1: to fail last year with what they had in place
Speaker 1: in addition to the offensive line and then no real
Speaker 1: pass catchers. So now that he's with Bill O'Brien, we
Speaker 1: have to see that growth this year. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: a very it's an extremely safe move. It's going back
Speaker 1: to what you're comfortable with, what you knew. And there
Speaker 1: is a big difference between the offense that O'Brien was
Speaker 1: running with New England then and now, and it's Tom
Speaker 1: Brady who was in the middle of a peak two
Speaker 1: point oh at that time. So now he has to
Speaker 1: do with a lesser quarterback in mac Jones. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's a good hire. But you know what
Speaker 1: with mac Jones even last year, like we'll see, when
Speaker 1: Zappy was in there, they did a ton of play
Speaker 1: action and then if you look at the numbers when
Speaker 1: Jones was in there, like they went away from it
Speaker 1: almost didn't even do what Jones did well. And they're
Speaker 1: talking about incorporating Alabama's offense along with what just making
Speaker 1: it something that Matt Jones have said he could be
Speaker 1: more thrilled about it. So it's like you change the
Speaker 1: energy around your quarterback. That is the big first step
Speaker 1: of the guy that was like shoveling the stairs at
Speaker 1: Gillette Stadium as O see, and probably this is probably
Speaker 1: worth a shot as an upgrade that if they just
Speaker 1: had their the rookie year Mac Jones offense and last
Speaker 1: year's Patriots defense. I don't think that team would have
Speaker 1: won a playoff game, but they would have been like
Speaker 1: the six seed, and they would have been a much
Speaker 1: better team than General. Does Patricia and Judge stay on staff?
Speaker 1: Probably right? Just does everyone just have a forever safe home?
Speaker 1: If you're under Bill probably probably don't know. He's definitely
Speaker 1: like like my son, Like he doesn't meet anyone new.
Speaker 1: He's just like he has his old friends and he's
Speaker 1: not he's not making any new friends. At this point,
Speaker 1: speaking of Tom Brady, Uh, did you just compare yourself
Speaker 1: to Bill Belitick. All I mean is like I have
Speaker 1: the friends I have, I've struggled to make any new ones.
Speaker 1: I wonder why that would be. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: like all of my friends from childhood in college, he
Speaker 1: and all my friends are jerk. Tom Brady has a podcast.
Speaker 1: I think we've all been We've talked about that. It's
Speaker 1: on the show. Sometimes you're a little bit surprised. It's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's podcast, shouldn't that be the biggest podcast in
Speaker 1: the world. It's one of my favorite things about podcasts
Speaker 1: that our podcast is a much bigger podcast than all
Speaker 1: these big names out there. Tom Brady, I'm sure if
Speaker 1: you asked him about us, he'd say, oh, they're the goat,
Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. Anyway, on the latest edition of
Speaker 1: The Lad's Go Podcast with Tom Brady, Jim Gray and
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, fitz Is on that show though, Jim Gray,
Speaker 1: did you send that? Does Jim Gray have a a
Speaker 1: star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? I did send that.
Speaker 1: I was walking down the Walk of Fame the other
Speaker 1: like a week or so ago, and stopped in my
Speaker 1: tracks to realize that, like a little because you could
Speaker 1: you either have like the camera or the television because
Speaker 1: you're a television dude, um or you get the little
Speaker 1: radio mike and he's got a not surprisingly a radio mike.
Speaker 1: But it was like it's it just did surprise me
Speaker 1: that he's there. I think that um Is typically had
Speaker 1: the TV with the antenna's no, I think it was radio.
Speaker 1: But it's like he's more of a broadcasting type icon
Speaker 1: I guess. But like in general, does that just come
Speaker 1: through an agent? I don't really love set like Hollywood, Sessler.
Speaker 1: That is just dialing into like old school Hollywood. You're
Speaker 1: doing the walk like it's on my Yeah, I love Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's on my walks. People do like to demean that
Speaker 1: that they use it sort of as a pr thing.
Speaker 1: You have to pay about forty dollars for the star
Speaker 1: yourself for now. It could be yourself paying for or
Speaker 1: it could be like your agency or someone else paying
Speaker 1: for you. But a lot of times it's just stars,
Speaker 1: you know, paying for their their own publicity. But you
Speaker 1: still normally have to be a star. And I'm not
Speaker 1: done in justice. The payoff didn't go as you thought
Speaker 1: because it's actually a television set. It wasn't. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: who's getting the radio anymore? But the grace that's It's
Speaker 1: stunning to me, But good for him. I'm sure that
Speaker 1: was a nice moment for his family and fans. Um
Speaker 1: let's listen to Tom Brady when asked by Gray, are
Speaker 1: you playing Tommy Jim? If I knew what I was
Speaker 1: gonna do, I have already done it. Taking a day
Speaker 1: at a time, let's go. I mean, that's an it's
Speaker 1: an edgy podcasts assume maybe started He was like, I
Speaker 1: need to start making some inroads on this thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's just ramp up a little let's work a little
Speaker 1: blue like the Bridesmaids to be afraid make people uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: Maids of Honors, we're matrons. Absolutely sleep on the matron
Speaker 1: of honor dropping bombs in a big spot. If that
Speaker 1: that would be a great best friend to have, if
Speaker 1: that were your best friends, it might work. Because I
Speaker 1: feel like I need more context to that. I was like,
Speaker 1: didn't build up to that. Usually it seems like he
Speaker 1: has a very prescripted joke. The hard question of the week.
Speaker 1: That was what I can tell you briefly what Grace
Speaker 1: said after He's like, well, you know, I'm just asking
Speaker 1: the question everyone wanted me to ask. Sorry, you know, so,
Speaker 1: I don't think so respect not yet, I don't think.
Speaker 1: I think that that was him like actually being real
Speaker 1: and being like annoyed one thousand percent by the answer
Speaker 1: the question why did I sign up for this? No
Speaker 1: halftime of Monday? Like radio hit that they turned into
Speaker 1: a podcast. It's not even a podcast really, It's just
Speaker 1: a couple of radio interviews twice together. Do you have
Speaker 1: a star on the Walk of Fame? I meat it.
Speaker 1: Let's put a go fund me together. Maybe we can
Speaker 1: get the around the NFL podcast start on that one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you want to just want to be I want
Speaker 1: to have some say on where they stick it on
Speaker 1: that street, because you know, there are some some places
Speaker 1: that aren't so wonderful. You don't want to just be
Speaker 1: slapped down into a part of town that's not great. Alright,
Speaker 1: discount though, well that might be would be cheaper. We
Speaker 1: need to wait. Yeah, we're not quite there yet, but
Speaker 1: I think that'd be part of the fun if we
Speaker 1: weren't there at all. You know, but you know how
Speaker 1: they build stadiums in a depressed part of town, like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna build up the whole area, maybe that could
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe like they put the Star in a
Speaker 1: depressed area of Hollywood and that just creates a whole
Speaker 1: level of commerce for people racing to see. That's very
Speaker 1: very forward thinking and other news. Uh, and I think
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is gonna come up a little bit later
Speaker 1: about that. Mark for a little tease please. That's why
Speaker 1: you're the host. Joe Shane. He is the general manager
Speaker 1: of the New York Giants. UM Big decisions after the
Speaker 1: lost to the Eagles over the weekend, starts with their
Speaker 1: two most important players on offense, Daniel Jones, s Kwon Barkley.
Speaker 1: It does sound like the quarterback is coming back. Here's
Speaker 1: what Shane had to say. We we'd like Daniel be
Speaker 1: here again. He said it yesterday. There's there's a business
Speaker 1: side to it, but um, we feel like Daniel played
Speaker 1: well this season. He's done everything we asked him to do,
Speaker 1: and you know, getting there there's a business side to it.
Speaker 1: We we haven't went down that road yet. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: we still got to have our meetings with our staff
Speaker 1: late in the week and we'll devise an off season plan.
Speaker 1: But we we haven't had those meetings yet. But we
Speaker 1: would like to have Daniel Jones back. Hopefully we can
Speaker 1: get something done with his his representatives and that would
Speaker 1: be the goal to build a team around him where
Speaker 1: he could, you know, lead us to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Confident answer. Hey, if if you don't think your quarterback
Speaker 1: that you have can quote unquote lead your team to
Speaker 1: super Bowl, he's not your quarterback. So it's not surprising
Speaker 1: that he would say that. Uh. He also said, Shane
Speaker 1: that they are not close as of right now in
Speaker 1: terms of se Quon Barkley and the contract numbers. But
Speaker 1: also we've heard that s Quan doesn't necessarily need to
Speaker 1: reset the market at running back, and well, I could
Speaker 1: be posturing Greg where is sae Quon Barkley and the
Speaker 1: free agency one oh one? He was in the top twenty.
Speaker 1: You know, he gets dinged a little bit for being
Speaker 1: a running back, him and Josh Jacobs. I think he
Speaker 1: was around top fifteen. But I think it was interesting
Speaker 1: they sounded much more optimistic about and in certain about
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, which makes you think if they have a
Speaker 1: franchise tag available for one or the other, they would
Speaker 1: probably do it with Jones. And finally, in the news,
Speaker 1: unfortunately uh from the blodder file, the San Francisco forty Niners,
Speaker 1: their defensive end Charles Omnahue, was arrested on a charge
Speaker 1: of misdemeanor domestic violence following a alleged incident with his
Speaker 1: girlfriend on Monday that according to the San Jose, California
Speaker 1: Police Department, um A Many, who posted bail and is
Speaker 1: no longer in custody, also was served with an emergency
Speaker 1: protective restraining order. Um The Niners and A statements that
Speaker 1: they were aware of the matter and they are in
Speaker 1: the process of gathering further information. Uh Many, who was
Speaker 1: twenty five former fifth round pick pick greg and obviously
Speaker 1: made a big play uh in the first round of
Speaker 1: the playoffs and is a part of their rotation. So
Speaker 1: obviously the incident is no good. The timing was no good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's played fifty snaps over the last two weeks. Be
Speaker 1: curious how they they handle it. All right, I can't
Speaker 1: imagine he's going to be playing in this game. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a break and then we will look into
Speaker 1: the future tech. It's very important. Now, all right, we
Speaker 1: are back and um it is time. Well during the break,
Speaker 1: I was just looking into how one would obtain a
Speaker 1: Hollywood Walk of Fame, and I wanted you guys to
Speaker 1: have what you deserve. According to Wikipedia, anyone including fans,
Speaker 1: can nominate anyone active in the field of entertainment as
Speaker 1: long as the nominee or their management approves the nomination,
Speaker 1: so we would obviously approve it. Nominees must have a
Speaker 1: minimum of five years experience in the category and a
Speaker 1: history of quote charitable contributions. Oh, we got that too,
Speaker 1: although we do still Jacksonville. Please but please add us.
Speaker 1: Our show is for free, and we've been giving people
Speaker 1: for all because I don't know. Maybe we'll do that
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville or are Brilliance for free some ad breaks,
Speaker 1: the food bank, the orphanage, whatever we need to do
Speaker 1: for Jacksonville. We were going to do that anyway, but
Speaker 1: it actually kind of links up well with this situation.
Speaker 1: We would get a radio icon, I think, And do
Speaker 1: we get if we make the charitable donation? Do we
Speaker 1: get some type of receipt to the Hollywood? Seems fair?
Speaker 1: I mean, as any podcast put on the Hall of Favor,
Speaker 1: it's like it's a race between us and Old Rogan.
Speaker 1: Old Rogan that's what they call him. What were any
Speaker 1: other qualifications necessary? We got all it says on Wikipedia.
Speaker 1: So I will nominate you guys. I think there is.
Speaker 1: I mean I heard what does nominate mean? Does that mean?
Speaker 1: Because then it's probably they're just like they'll get back
Speaker 1: to yees CTC fifty g bro. No. Do think it
Speaker 1: costs like fifteen dollars to get a star or something
Speaker 1: like that? So where does that money? I looked this
Speaker 1: up recently. I don't know why. I thought it was
Speaker 1: like forty or something. Maybe a lot of times agents
Speaker 1: will pay this for their talent to get work. There
Speaker 1: is have we been doing it five years give me
Speaker 1: some dings. Have we been doing this five years? Have
Speaker 1: we made charitable donations? Would management clear this? Man? Justin counts?
Speaker 1: And finally, do we have agents? We have good agents.
Speaker 1: Do you think the NFL would want to pay for
Speaker 1: this to get the podcast out there more? It's that
Speaker 1: agents and having agents that are willing to pay for
Speaker 1: that will be an interesting conversation, but it's worth having.
Speaker 1: You could argue that if you want to look at
Speaker 1: what we made the NFL over the course of a
Speaker 1: decade plus, that this little fee would be dust in
Speaker 1: the wind. Follow the money. I need to know where
Speaker 1: it's going for all these stars, who who gets what?
Speaker 1: What bank account does that that's a good point, Like
Speaker 1: the Commission of espcially a city a city a city
Speaker 1: slush funders. It's essentially been a racket for like some
Speaker 1: some people who started this and their family members. You're
Speaker 1: actually asking the question that no one ever did. They
Speaker 1: planted three trees in Los Angeles in the past fifty
Speaker 1: five years, and the rest has gone directly into some evil,
Speaker 1: some evil person's malibu. According to the Internet fund, the
Speaker 1: fee goes to the installation of the star and general
Speaker 1: upkeep maintenance for the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which if
Speaker 1: anyone has ever walked down, you know it's in pristine
Speaker 1: condition on that. Yeah, they gotta work on that. Well,
Speaker 1: they got a lot of things to work on in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Connie work in blue. Um, all right, let's get to
Speaker 1: she's on the case. Let's let me fire it up.
Speaker 1: I got a I got, I got our old friend.
Speaker 1: She's coming back around. And I'll tell you what if
Speaker 1: she if she did a maid of honor speech, who doggy?
Speaker 1: That would be weird to find her a best friend. First,
Speaker 1: let's fire up Bridget. Greetings, I am a bionic reactive
Speaker 1: intelligence data gathering annunciation transponder also known as Bridget version
Speaker 1: two point Oh. Hello Bridget, how are you? Does she answer?
Speaker 1: How about that traffic on the local freeway this morning?
Speaker 1: Well okay, so there's a lot to break down here.
Speaker 1: And that was very good. I've been she's been offline
Speaker 1: for a while, and one of the things I wanted
Speaker 1: to do was make Bridget more personable. Um, I wanted
Speaker 1: her to have more of a person reality. I certainly
Speaker 1: the number one issue with Bridget obviously was how angry
Speaker 1: it made you Mark with some of her criticisms, I
Speaker 1: would say of certain football takes that you had, as
Speaker 1: I recall, um, and so I did. I did pop
Speaker 1: the hood and I tried to address that as well
Speaker 1: with her guard The first time I encountered her, it
Speaker 1: caught me off. But what happened? I mean she roundly
Speaker 1: insulted literally everything that I produced on that show and
Speaker 1: other shows, while turning around and complimenting her creator to
Speaker 1: no end. And I was trying to address that too,
Speaker 1: little glitch. I did a patch on that, and um,
Speaker 1: I'm also I'm starting to build up some I'm trying
Speaker 1: to build into it the ability to have some takes.
Speaker 1: And again, I'm the creator, so I'm trying to separate,
Speaker 1: like my opinions on things from bridget that's a work
Speaker 1: in progress. Do we have let's put punch it in
Speaker 1: Don Mattingly belong in the Hall of Fame. That one's
Speaker 1: a little close to me. What else we have? People
Speaker 1: from California put too much on their pizza. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: a little that's a little zeuser too. What all right,
Speaker 1: let's let's try to get a little bit further away
Speaker 1: from the creator. YouTube put an album on your iPhone?
Speaker 1: So what there are real problems in the world. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: so I'm working on that too. That's a little that's
Speaker 1: a little mid project. I'm wondering if Bridgets at all
Speaker 1: feeling the heat, because you know, she she was a
Speaker 1: fore runner really of AI technology. She was on this
Speaker 1: show seven years ago. But now you've got you know,
Speaker 1: chat GPT kind of taking over the COGNIZENTI here, I
Speaker 1: feel like Bridgets feeling the heat. Is she aware that
Speaker 1: she's been shut down? Like did you tell? Or does
Speaker 1: she just think it's the next app day? Passing her mind?
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. No, she's not sentient. Yeah, she's working
Speaker 1: on some things, but she's not sentient rehab rehab. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's an interesting She hit that topic last time around,
Speaker 1: and I think she's there that goes beyond dance knowledge.
Speaker 1: I think to her own knowledge. I don't know if
Speaker 1: chat GPT would be so rude. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: These are I guess competitors on some level, and maybe
Speaker 1: that's more of your speed. But again, we're trying our
Speaker 1: best to make sure that Bridget two point oh is
Speaker 1: fair to all. Uh, why don't we now what she's
Speaker 1: here for, of course, and what she was initially created
Speaker 1: for was to process um and let us know through
Speaker 1: her own tabulations. Um, through billions of data points that
Speaker 1: have been built into the system that we can only
Speaker 1: begin to like fathom, how much is being processed in
Speaker 1: her central processing unit. Um. Uh to let us know
Speaker 1: what football takes. We have our predictions or kind of
Speaker 1: look aheads in in our league, how realistic they are,
Speaker 1: how correct they are. Um, she's not a fortune teller.
Speaker 1: That's very important. I think some people get a little
Speaker 1: confused on that. But she does take logic and it
Speaker 1: logic is everything to her. And then she spits out
Speaker 1: a reply to your prediction that is correct. Master. Well,
Speaker 1: I want to see the master start this thing. UM,
Speaker 1: I would love that too. Okay, I've got it going. Um.
Speaker 1: Let me talk about Tony Romo, UM and I my prediction.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys noticed, but um, the
Speaker 1: Romo backlash is building mm hmm it is. It was
Speaker 1: obviously all over Twitter people were not happy with his
Speaker 1: performance uh in the Bills Bengals game. And it did
Speaker 1: strike me a little bit that the romo that he
Speaker 1: in two thousand seventeen that captured everyone's imagination. Um, what
Speaker 1: was he kind of famous for back then plays. Yeah,
Speaker 1: predictive ability, seeing things that no one else apparently could
Speaker 1: see on the planet. Right, does he do any of
Speaker 1: that anymore? Is that even part of the Romo aesthetic?
Speaker 1: In two thousand twenty three, because that was one thing
Speaker 1: that jumped out to me, I was like, is the
Speaker 1: criticism too strong on this guy? And then I'm thinking, well,
Speaker 1: is he The thing that made everybody love him was
Speaker 1: that he felt like he was inside the game still
Speaker 1: he had recently retired and was seeing the game in
Speaker 1: a way that we couldn't see his common fans, and
Speaker 1: then was kind of giving us that perspective, like that
Speaker 1: happening and it's harder, Like they sort of said that
Speaker 1: probably will diminish because you aren't as you aren't coming
Speaker 1: from last year's playbook and everything else you dealt with.
Speaker 1: It's your five or six years from right now. Even
Speaker 1: the guys you work with, Like when you guys are
Speaker 1: in the film room watching the Sunday shows or watching
Speaker 1: the Sunday games, like everyone is still keyed in on
Speaker 1: stuff and like m J D. MicroB like they're still
Speaker 1: yelling out plays before they happen. What's going to happen right,
Speaker 1: like so I or something. I feel like, well, he
Speaker 1: started getting something wrong and he felt like maybe that
Speaker 1: was like a parlor trick because that wasn't the reason
Speaker 1: I loved him or West. I remember we talked about het.
Speaker 1: Romo is just like a breath of fresh air in
Speaker 1: terms of a his enthusiasm and I still like the enthusiasm,
Speaker 1: but b yeah, being able to like really explain the
Speaker 1: game in a in an understandable way and like loved it.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if he's still got that fire
Speaker 1: in him. That might be the thing people are picking
Speaker 1: up on. The enthusiasm that he has is um. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's forced now, but it just there just
Speaker 1: seems a little less nuanced with him, and there's the
Speaker 1: idea is he coasting a little bit? So anyway, my
Speaker 1: prediction that I want to um posit to bridget version
Speaker 1: two point oh Um. I predict that Romo is going
Speaker 1: to have a sit down with some bosses at CBS
Speaker 1: after this season, and it's gonna be a little bit
Speaker 1: of a come to Jesus conversation, UM, where they're gonna say,
Speaker 1: we need you to get the eye of the tiger back.
Speaker 1: You're a number one guy, and we can't have this
Speaker 1: criticism of you just becoming the dominant narrative around our
Speaker 1: number one team. And my prediction is that when we
Speaker 1: see Romo again, uh come next September, that be a
Speaker 1: conversation point that Romo seems more into it again and
Speaker 1: Romos plugged in, because I think the criticism is getting
Speaker 1: to the point where I think CBS internally is going
Speaker 1: to want to address that. What do you think about that? Bridget?
Speaker 1: To go either way here, Dan is hot and masculine,
Speaker 1: perfect logic. Okay, so I got it right. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: really want to work on this CPU. Um. So that's
Speaker 1: mine and thank you for that. I think he needs it.
Speaker 1: I think he needs the show. He's doing the work,
Speaker 1: respect the game. That's Bridget or Tony, I mean Bridget.
Speaker 1: I'm not wanting to question her. So what she said
Speaker 1: is absolutely Bridget. What do you think about some of
Speaker 1: the work that I've done on your main frame? Your
Speaker 1: voice is beautiful? Oh, thank you, thank you, Bridget. All right,
Speaker 1: so she's still complimentary of me? All right? How about you, Greg?
Speaker 1: Why don't you throw one out to us? Okay, so
Speaker 1: are our buddy Aaron Rodgers back on Pat McAfee on Tuesday, Yes,
Speaker 1: still doing it. Didn't really want to lean one way
Speaker 1: or another, said he might have already said goodbye to
Speaker 1: the Packers. He doesn't know. He really wants to be
Speaker 1: playing for championships. He needs more time to think about everything.
Speaker 1: And when he said he heard the trade rumors that
Speaker 1: are going around, and he said, well, that's putting the
Speaker 1: cart before the horse because I haven't decided what I'm
Speaker 1: going to do yet, and like, you can't be talking
Speaker 1: trade unless I okay it. But that's a possibility. But
Speaker 1: you know, Schefter has talked about it, our guy rap
Speaker 1: sheets talking. But I'm gonna predict that ultimately the Packers
Speaker 1: cannot quit Aaron Rodgers. They just can't do it. They
Speaker 1: just they want him. They it's a troubled relationship, but
Speaker 1: they just feel like they can't get out of it.
Speaker 1: And that Aaron Rodgers, after he goes through this, can't
Speaker 1: quit the Packers either, but that Jordan's love will get traded,
Speaker 1: that it's time for him to go. And I'm going
Speaker 1: to put Jordan's love on the Commandos because that just
Speaker 1: feels like a Commandos type of move. So Bridget I'm
Speaker 1: curious what you think of my my reasoning there. This
Speaker 1: would be an important test because I think it's that's harsh.
Speaker 1: Maybe she sees something in the way that Rogers is
Speaker 1: speaking that that I don't. He referred to being a
Speaker 1: packer in the past tense there during that interview as well,
Speaker 1: right there was that that's not a great sign. I guess.
Speaker 1: He also essentially blamed the discourse on what's happening here
Speaker 1: on big Pharma, like, I'm not even joking that, like
Speaker 1: the networks that are that are we've lost him. He's
Speaker 1: throw Rogan. It was his nickname, and I thought that
Speaker 1: was a good one. And uh yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: saw a lot of comments tors like, hey, he's out
Speaker 1: there speaking the truth. You have people that you follow
Speaker 1: the same on Twitter, and some of the comments to
Speaker 1: the McAfee video was a lot like, oh he roasted
Speaker 1: ESPN there they are owned by big Farmer. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what I think from a football angle, like if the
Speaker 1: Packers were ready to move on and you got someone
Speaker 1: to trade for him, you get the picks, which would
Speaker 1: be at least a first plus more, you'd open up
Speaker 1: sixty million in cap room and you can rebuild your
Speaker 1: team with a Jordan's love who looked all right when
Speaker 1: he played last year. I mean, like the Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: thing just feels like you're crescendoing towards the end. Anyways,
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of with Greg, although Bridges doesn't agree.
Speaker 1: I just think he's gonna stick around despite the way
Speaker 1: he looked when he was walking off lambeau Field. Don't
Speaker 1: forget that image and what Tariko was saying that. It
Speaker 1: just felt like something about that whole thing sticks with me.
Speaker 1: It was a little weird, and I wonder if seeing
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like brock Party, I mean, it doesn't happen all
Speaker 1: the time, but seeing quarterbacks come in who were drafted
Speaker 1: late or really didn't have a lot of expectations around them,
Speaker 1: I wonder if that changes their minds at all, and
Speaker 1: maybe they do want a fresher start. Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't shake the feeling that Woody Johnson is going
Speaker 1: to make a play here. He did it with Brett
Speaker 1: Farve and the Packers years ago. We've been waiting for
Speaker 1: him to make that big splash since he's back owning
Speaker 1: the Jets, and that Adam Schefter reported on it, Peter
Speaker 1: King wrote about it that you know, over the cap,
Speaker 1: they can make it work in terms of their salary cap,
Speaker 1: and I think anyone couldn't they really needed to. And
Speaker 1: then it becomes a matter of what Rodgers want to
Speaker 1: go there. Maybe he would, maybe wouldn't, But everyone's kind
Speaker 1: of just pointing to Derek carrs being that's the guy
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the Jets quarterback, and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of reasons why you maybe that's doesn't make a lot
Speaker 1: of sense and they are going to make a big splash.
Speaker 1: There could be that those could be dancing partners. I
Speaker 1: would be a little I don't know, I would be
Speaker 1: a little conflicted perfect he might get killed as a
Speaker 1: Jets fan with with Aaron Rodgers in the general perception
Speaker 1: of the Jets, like is this where you want to
Speaker 1: go for the final swan song of your career and
Speaker 1: just hope that things finally work. You could use them
Speaker 1: the way Brett Farve did too. I mean, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of different ways you can go from that point on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he talked about like it's great the idea of being
Speaker 1: in Green Bay forever, but I really just want to
Speaker 1: win championships and I'm thinking like, well, why wouldn't Green
Speaker 1: baby that team. I think it's more just like it's
Speaker 1: a long time to live in Green Bay. It's a
Speaker 1: vacation destination, he said. I don't mean that it's like
Speaker 1: a terrible place, but where he is at in his life,
Speaker 1: he's lived there for a long time. Well, if names
Speaker 1: how many legends the same, you know how many legendary
Speaker 1: quarterbacks played their entire career in one place? How many?
Speaker 1: Like if Tom Brady can leave, anybody can leave. It's
Speaker 1: kind of pet people look at what Tom Brady didn't think.
Speaker 1: I want to go have a fresh start and win
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl somewhere else. And by the way, it's like,
Speaker 1: guess what, You're not gonna do it in Green Bay
Speaker 1: because it never happens. We've learned. He I don't well,
Speaker 1: I don't know what part of my perhaps just Jordan's
Speaker 1: love doesn't go to the commanders. And then Bridget proved
Speaker 1: says I'm wrong. I don't know for sure that Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers is staying or going. But I wanted to throw
Speaker 1: this out to Bridget right now, just because this is
Speaker 1: an important week or two coming up. This is when
Speaker 1: the Matthew Stafford trade happened. This is when the Alex
Speaker 1: Smith trade up something that's big. I think actually will
Speaker 1: maybe move forward even before we're done with the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Smart of it. It's good. It's good smart, not smart,
Speaker 1: but right I thought it sounded smart. There's a little
Speaker 1: more coming from that little vixen. It does. Do you?
Speaker 1: Did she have anything else for Greg Weird? Which vice
Speaker 1: is consuming you this week? Wow? I mean I am
Speaker 1: the bad boy of NFL media. Are Okay, let's pause
Speaker 1: right here, pause Bridge as well. We're gonna take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. All right, We're back, Colleen, Now
Speaker 1: about you? Okay, I have I have one for Bridget.
Speaker 1: I would like her input on this. I think se
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley stays in New York, but not as a giant.
Speaker 1: He signed by the one and only true New York
Speaker 1: team Barley. Yeah, I did that really trying to give
Speaker 1: them a w right now? And I'm like that. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so um, Bridget, you're there. It makes sense, Colleen. I
Speaker 1: was rooting for the dog, that is what tank. First
Speaker 1: of all, I still have a bandage on my arm
Speaker 1: and I had a setback. I'm allergic to a couple
Speaker 1: of things. I was using tank. What was that? Where
Speaker 1: is tank? Tank? The bulldog that attacked my arm on
Speaker 1: Christmas Day in front of the entire family before dinner.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where tank is right now because I
Speaker 1: don't want to know where Tank is. I wanted nothing
Speaker 1: to do with Tank after the incident. Where a tank
Speaker 1: is not exactly. I don't know. Bridget is a heartless machine.
Speaker 1: And I thought, like the idea of the quan idea
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought of that. It's brilliant. I feel like
Speaker 1: the bills are going to do that thing this year.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm that triggered. You gotta work on her,
Speaker 1: just like certain words. I feel like that's gonna it's
Speaker 1: part of her trank. Oh my god, the machine learning,
Speaker 1: it's not improved. Just by the way, we just got
Speaker 1: like a snapshot into Colleen sleeping at night, like the
Speaker 1: dreams that she had had so many nightmares attacking me again.
Speaker 1: If Bridget bridge taking human resources immediately, but you take
Speaker 1: Bridget to human she could just run wild. Ye oh
Speaker 1: my god, I think he is. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: And I can't deal with this. Can I just bring
Speaker 1: it back? The football a second, because these are all
Speaker 1: very good. Why won't you tell me Bridge is learning
Speaker 1: at a rapid page is almost rapid base. It's a
Speaker 1: great idea. By the way, Barkley to the Bills, I
Speaker 1: don't know if they can afford it, um, because he's
Speaker 1: gonna cost the substantial amount for the running back they
Speaker 1: did just draft, of course a running back and um,
Speaker 1: James Cook, Um, Devin Singletary doesn't seem to be the guy.
Speaker 1: They're right. I think Devin Singletary is a free agent too,
Speaker 1: and I just I think that's I think it's good
Speaker 1: because one of the things that really stands out to
Speaker 1: me about Buffalo is that sometimes it did feel like
Speaker 1: it was like Josh go do everything, literally do everything,
Speaker 1: and maybe he needs just a little bit more help.
Speaker 1: Maybe another whether it's a receiver or running back who
Speaker 1: has the type of dual threat capability of sake one,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. I don't care what what Bridget says.
Speaker 1: Bridget going to make a joke about like a dog
Speaker 1: and Barkley now Bridget a tea for Bridget. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a good question. You've challenged. Hers are not logical. I
Speaker 1: thought they were like the Cowboys, the Cowboys got a
Speaker 1: lot of grief for not having enough kitty likes to
Speaker 1: scratch enough weapons for for Dak the Bills. You can
Speaker 1: say it kind of similar death Diggs and gave. Davis
Speaker 1: never really like Cole Beasley is being targeted in big
Speaker 1: time games in January. It's like and they never committed
Speaker 1: to the run. You don't have to be like a
Speaker 1: run heavy team, but you have to be you have
Speaker 1: to do it more than just like first show here
Speaker 1: and there. And that was true under Dable too. Wasn't
Speaker 1: just Ken Dorsey. All of these teams that are left
Speaker 1: have some semblance of a running game. I mean even
Speaker 1: even Kansas City with Isaiah pacheco Um just checking in
Speaker 1: with the Bridget A Bridget is it? My My feeling
Speaker 1: is that any team of the four remaining is a
Speaker 1: very worthy super Bowl contender. And there is no such
Speaker 1: thing as an upset here. They're all to me, it's
Speaker 1: it's each What do you think, Dan? You put the A,
Speaker 1: I and I poppy, the AI and I poppy. You
Speaker 1: mean I want to hear that one again? I mean,
Speaker 1: you know what your sessions with Bridget seem interesting? Yes?
Speaker 1: All right, Mark, all right, this is kind of what
Speaker 1: we've been building too, because like many patches and I met,
Speaker 1: I work with some of the great people, some of
Speaker 1: the great software giants of the industry, at my great
Speaker 1: person little expense, uh, to make it more fair for
Speaker 1: you mark this, this segment and this in this robot.
Speaker 1: I mean we're seeing evidence of that in the lead up,
Speaker 1: but you could understand that all my focus was on you. UM.
Speaker 1: And and I apologize to Greg and to Colleen, especially Colleen,
Speaker 1: I mean Jesus, but I feel pretty confident that this
Speaker 1: will go better. All right, go ahead, and at the
Speaker 1: floor is yours? I want to talk about um Tom
Speaker 1: Brady for a minute, because here we here we go again.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's January turns into February, right Like
Speaker 1: I'm all our own projects, us humans, like our hopes,
Speaker 1: our dreams, are fears, are two dues, our personal evaluations
Speaker 1: and journeys. They're just happily put on hold so we
Speaker 1: can focus on where Tom Brady wants to play football next.
Speaker 1: After watching him direct the least uh watchable offense in
Speaker 1: all of two so I can't wait to see where
Speaker 1: he goes next. There is a report um page six
Speaker 1: The New York Post Brady was spotted down in Miami
Speaker 1: hovering around his house, well hovering around you down private
Speaker 1: schools to take to see where his kids might go
Speaker 1: to school. And so I think, all right, Greg, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that could be nothing. But the thing is
Speaker 1: everyone just has him going to the Raiders. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to turn Bridget against Mark here. Greg, we see what
Speaker 1: you're dealing here. This is very important. Why does it
Speaker 1: need to be the Raiders, who to me are really
Speaker 1: no better than the Bucks. Um, And just because Josh
Speaker 1: McDaniels is such a likable individual, you're gonna have Tom
Speaker 1: Brady pair with him in some last failed season and
Speaker 1: like a monster's ANFC West the Titans. Give me a
Speaker 1: break with that business. Um. The whole idea of staying
Speaker 1: home with his kids and retiring, that is absolutely not happening.
Speaker 1: We've already seen that test driven for about twelve days
Speaker 1: last offseason and it was a crash and burn act.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins, they make total sense to me. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: this is what I think is going to happen. Absolutely
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins link is already there. Tell me another
Speaker 1: owner that had Tom Bray a d come hang out
Speaker 1: on the yacht, hoping that the coach of that time
Speaker 1: would come and convinced Tom Brady to be part of
Speaker 1: the Dolphins operation. Now you have a coach that you
Speaker 1: can control to some degree. You did lose your first
Speaker 1: round draft pick for that specific action, Yeah, but so
Speaker 1: even more reason just to go do it now. You
Speaker 1: just go do it now. He's a free agent. You
Speaker 1: don't to worry about the past. No, No one here
Speaker 1: has a long enough attention span to care about what
Speaker 1: happened in the past. With all that business, he would go.
Speaker 1: If you're Tom Brady, you need to go somewhere where
Speaker 1: there are weapons on offense. Bingo. You've got a coach
Speaker 1: you can work with who runs a system that works
Speaker 1: for you. Bingo. Like we're watching the Shanahan offense turned
Speaker 1: brock Party with wide open receivers into a star and
Speaker 1: like two I had the benefit of that benefit of
Speaker 1: that last year with Tyree, Kale, Jail and Waddle. It
Speaker 1: is a great situation for Tom Brady. I don't like
Speaker 1: the idea of the Raiders. I think it's gonna happen. Um.
Speaker 1: I think he's annoyed that Aaron Rodgers is hanging out
Speaker 1: there in the atmosphere with the same absurd drama. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a Tom Brady announcement that's gonna come
Speaker 1: about minutes into the third quarter, uh, and create an
Speaker 1: absolute fervor that he's going to join the Dolphins, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna get probably days and days of Jim Gray
Speaker 1: with little Larry Fitzgerald talking to Tom Brady and meant no,
Speaker 1: but I mean on this podcast, I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on with this show that they're gonna un unfurl
Speaker 1: it that way too. Probably in them right in the
Speaker 1: middle of the super we'll get Jim Gray with this
Speaker 1: Walk of Fame star, Larry Fitzgerald, Tom Brady, the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: That's my prediction. It will interrupt the super. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing before you throw it to Bridget, because
Speaker 1: it has to be a command for her to function. Um,
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. In fact, this was something
Speaker 1: I had in my own mind and then I was like, oh, wait,
Speaker 1: Mark was doing Tom Brady right. So if that's what
Speaker 1: I was thinking and I was gonna say it, then
Speaker 1: it should for you. You'd think yes, For she went
Speaker 1: in to sleep mode, say hello to her first Bridget, Hello,
Speaker 1: to you, Hey, Marv, I don't know. It's not very
Speaker 1: respectful from a computer. All right, Mark wants to know
Speaker 1: Tom Brady to the Dolphins. Does that make sense, Bridget?
Speaker 1: Top ten insider more like negative ten outsider. This is
Speaker 1: a failure of me, not you. I don't want to
Speaker 1: direct any annoyance to you because I based on your reporting,
Speaker 1: you worked very hard on this. I'm not sure it's
Speaker 1: your skill set. If this is another long form, she's
Speaker 1: evolving rapidly. Um, I kind of like what you just
Speaker 1: said there though, I mean, so she got it. You
Speaker 1: could take the way, take it in a direction I'm
Speaker 1: cool with. But I'll take that into account. I'll take
Speaker 1: that into account. The off season is ahead, Bridget, thank you.
Speaker 1: Your logic has more holes than your cool dad jeans
Speaker 1: A negative tent outsider. That's that's to put that on
Speaker 1: a T shirt. Else for Mark Oswald acted alone, that's
Speaker 1: like the equivalent for Mark the burn of like the
Speaker 1: gift of all the people running through like grabbing their
Speaker 1: face running through the frame. I have another round? Are
Speaker 1: we doing another round of this? Or no? That was it? Wow?
Speaker 1: I wanted a cute cut up so much there? If no?
Speaker 1: If sure, if you have one that you feel strongly
Speaker 1: about it, I don't. We can make it work. No, no, Dan,
Speaker 1: you are a god. This is this is going south
Speaker 1: into such a hurry. Save it for private talk, made
Speaker 1: fantasy computer for yourself. It has bugs still, there's no
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it, bridget um, before we we
Speaker 1: shut you down. Thank you. The government is an inherently
Speaker 1: oppressive force that keeps down the working men and props
Speaker 1: up Wall Street fat cats who do not operate for
Speaker 1: the benefit of greater society. Okay, this is this is
Speaker 1: a problem because I did not put that coding in.
Speaker 1: She's starting to think on her own. Well, it's not
Speaker 1: a bad word. What a okay, where is the where's
Speaker 1: the plug? Liking her more and more blood shut is
Speaker 1: part of the cost for freedom, all right, we gotta
Speaker 1: gotta shut this down, Yes, bridget self, disconnect from mainframe
Speaker 1: now commencing. Oh god, no, no, no no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: I got the flug out just in time. That feels
Speaker 1: like something that is going to backfire if I try,
Speaker 1: if I even a temph three point oh is backfiring currently, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is happening. You brought her back online and she
Speaker 1: immediately became a killer robot, and yet some of those
Speaker 1: burns were so worth it. I think we should come
Speaker 1: back to it in its future day, but only if
Speaker 1: it's safe. Bridget the Bionic Reactive Intelligence DAYA Gathering Annunciation
Speaker 1: Transponder VIRGET two point oh. I have to say it's
Speaker 1: a failure. It's like the Space program. It didn't. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: You weren't on the moon immediately. There were some ups
Speaker 1: and downs on the on the route, on route to
Speaker 1: get into the Moon, no doubt about it. You gotta
Speaker 1: keep your eye on the focus there. On that and Colleen,
Speaker 1: I want to apologize again that some stuff was Clearly
Speaker 1: things are going on there, but some of this with
Speaker 1: the dog that was out of bounds and really inappropriate.
Speaker 1: As someone who just got a puppy. You should not
Speaker 1: be putting that out there in the world. That's well,
Speaker 1: I didn't the machine did that? You made? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think you had some accountability might be in order. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're right, just a dash of it. Huh, you're right,
Speaker 1: But thanks, that's great. Should I plug her back into
Speaker 1: just see if if she's feeling remorseful at this point,
Speaker 1: I'm going to destroy her. I mean if you do,
Speaker 1: it's like Elon must say, And it's not my fault.
Speaker 1: The car didn't stop at the stop sign. At that's true.
Speaker 1: There's a little a little too musky for my case. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, so that's it, um for the Tuesday show. Um,
Speaker 1: we'll be back on Thursday. Yes, Championship Sunday preview. Connie,
