23
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: do today, and we're doing something different to start the show.

24
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: But first so and it's gonna probably just heads up

25
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: to yourra the opening topic. If I keep it under

26
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: thirty on the opening topic, I will have done a

27
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: good job. Under thirty minutes on the opening topic I need.

28
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to nap.

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: You know, it'll be riveting information. But there's thirty two teams.

30
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. We'll all explain in a moment. But

31
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: before we even get to that, let's get to what

32
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: missed the cut for today's show. Not on today's show,

33
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: the US Soccer League Sacramento Republic signs a thirteen year old,

34
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: the youngest pro athlete in the US. Shakira says, Jimmy

35
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: Butler different from other men. Shout out Jimmy Butler and

36
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: Johnny Manzel reportedly, or by his own admission, watched zero

37
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: film in the NFL. I have a new rule. I

38
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: only watch sports documentaries if I am prominently featured in them.

39
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: So the Johnny Manziel doc is not gonna make my docket.

40
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: In fact, I haven't even seen a few of the

41
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: latest sports docks that evidently I'm in. It's very weird

42
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: when we want to use clips from these documentaries on TV.

43
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: Very often it's like, no, it wasn't clear they wouldn't

44
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: let us do it. But nobody asks me if they

45
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: can use my, you know, wisdom and great takes in

46
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: their documentaries. Well, yeah, very awesome. Very often it's wisdom.

47
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: You could learn a few things from my wisdom most

48
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: of it?

49
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 5: All?

50
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: Right, Dior, though, what are we starting today's show with

51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: thirty two teams?

52
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: What we know? What you hope, and what you fear?

53
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: Okay? So I liked what we did on Tuesday where

54
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 3: we went through all the teams and their potential Hall

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: of famers all of that, and I wanted to kind of, oh,

56
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: they put thirty on the clock. Wow, And I wanted

57
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: to continue that because we're going to be off next week,

58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: and then the week when we return, we really kick

59
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: it into full football gear and we do our official predictions,

60
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: we bring the Gambling show back, your brother makes his

61
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: return from Los Angeles. That's all coming. And as kind

62
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: of dipping our toe into the prediction waters, what I

63
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: want to do here is go through all thirty two

64
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: teams as quickly as I can and say what you know,

65
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: what you hope, and what you fear if you're a

66
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: fan of any of these teams. So I'm gonna start

67
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: in the NFC, go to the AFC. I'm just gonna

68
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: go as I see them listed on the NFL standing

69
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: s page with everyone zero and zero, So it's basically

70
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: a random order, if you will. We will start as

71
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 3: it happens, and we'll go east, north, southwest, because that's

72
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: how the standings are listed. As it happens. We'll start

73
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: with the Dallas Cowboys. What we know about the Cowboys

74
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 3: is they're going to have a really good defense. It's

75
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: impossible for that team with Micah Parsons, with Dan Quinn,

76
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: with the other personnel on that defense to not have

77
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: a really good defense. What you hope is with Mike McCarthy,

78
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: and this is a big risk here, taking control of

79
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: the offense from Kellen Moore. Kellen Moore being gone that

80
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott gets back to who he'd been in his

81
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: entire career prior to last year, cut down on the interceptions,

82
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: take care of the football. Tony Pollard, who was the

83
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: best running back on the team the last couple years,

84
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: is now that we know he's going to be the

85
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 3: featured back, that he can carry the workload, and that

86
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: defense plus a lack of turnovers on offense leads to

87
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: the Cowboys for the first time since the mid nineties,

88
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: going on an actual postseason run. What you fear is

89
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: that the offense takes a step backwards, not because Dak's

90
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: turnovers jump, but because McCarthy's too conservative. And what you

91
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: really fear is that Mike McCarthy, who has always dealt

92
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: with game management and clock management issues, that now he

93
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: has even more on his plate on game day since

94
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 3: he's calling plays, that the Cowboys have some end of

95
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: game in of half meltdowns that cost them games they

96
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: otherwise shouldn't. That's the Cowboys the Giants. What we know.

97
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: We know that Brian Daviles a good coach. We know

98
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: that what you hope is that Daniel Jones can keep

99
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: his turnovers low like last year while expanding what he's

100
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: allowed to do through the air throwing the football. What

101
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: you fear is that when they put more on Daniel

102
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: Jones's plate, the turnovers will jump back up. The touchdowns

103
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: might go I mean they had fifteen touchdowns last year,

104
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: might go up as well. But this is a team

105
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: that cannot deal with turning the ball over the way

106
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: they're trying to win. And so you know they have

107
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: a good coach and that they're on the right track.

108
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: You hope Jones what now if they take the training

109
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: wheels off of him, that he can can continue on

110
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: this trajectory. You fear that when they take the training

111
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: wheels off of him, he's going to become Danny Drops again,

112
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: one of the most turnover prone quarterbacks in the league,

113
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: and they can't sustain that. Philadelphia Eagles, what we know,

114
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: it's almost an impossibility for this team not to be

115
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: at least good. They have too good of a roster,

116
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: too good of an offensive line, too good of a

117
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: defensive line, too good of a leader at quarterback. So

118
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: we know that their bare minimum is ten wins. Probably

119
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: what you hope is that because of the leadership of

120
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts, that that team does not suffer a Super

121
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: Bowl hangover, that they got a absolute steal at number

122
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: ten in the draft in Jaialen Carter, that his Georgia

123
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: teammate Jordan Davis looks like the player he was in college,

124
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: more so the player he was as a rookie where

125
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: he wasn't quite as impactful as people thought. That they

126
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: got another Steel and Nolan Smith, and that Jalen can

127
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: continue on the trajectory he was on in the Super Bowl,

128
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: which was his best game throwing the football of his career.

129
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: What you fear is that Siriani, who is not as

130
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: level headed in my opinion as Jalen, hurts and has

131
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: not faced real adversity as a head coach in this league,

132
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: that Siriani doesn't deal well if they get off to

133
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 3: a tough start, that Jalen does not take the next

134
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: jump throwing the football, and that all of a sudden

135
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: they're in a dog fight in the NFCS when they

136
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: were cruising all last year, And that this team feels like,

137
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 3: oh man, our opportunity was last season and now all

138
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: of a sudden, we because they have They've put a

139
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: lot on the credit card in Philadelphia, and now all

140
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: of a sudden, we're not going to have as stacked

141
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 3: of a roster moving forward. That's what you fear, And

142
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: you fear that the draft strategy of just take Georgia

143
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: players might not be the best one Washington. What you

144
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 3: know about Washington is they should have a good defense.

145
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: What you hope with Washington is that Eric the enemy

146
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 3: can get the absolute most out of out of Sam

147
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: Howell and what are some underrated weapons. What you fear

148
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: is that they have clearly the worst quarterback in that

149
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: well yeah, I mean right now, clearly the worst quarterback

150
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: in that division, not a ver in my opinion, not

151
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: a very good head coach. That the season is already

152
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: off to a weird start with Ron Rivera airing out

153
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: the enemy unnecessarily, and that Washington is all of a

154
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: sudden in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes when they're trying to

155
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: be in the wildcard sweepstakes. All right, that's the NFC

156
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: East NFC North Chicago Bears. What you know is they

157
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: have more talent. In the last year, they added DJ Moore,

158
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: they addressed the offensive line, They spent some money last year,

159
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: they spent the year in jail. They got the number

160
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: one pick Because of it, they were able to flip

161
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: that for a lot of draft capital. What you know

162
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: is that they will have more talent on the field

163
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: this year than last year. What you hope is that

164
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: Justin Fields can become just league average as a passer,

165
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: his ability as a runner, in his athleticism. If he

166
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: is just a league average passer, he'll be a time

167
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: quarterback because he's one of the two best running quarterbacks

168
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: in football. What you fear is that he is not

169
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: going to evolve as a passer, that going with a

170
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: defensive minded head coach when you're trying to develop a

171
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 3: quarterback is not going to work out, and they are

172
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: going to say, oh man, we could have drafted our

173
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 3: quarterback at number one. We traded out of that pick.

174
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 3: So you fear that you in addition to that kind

175
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: of fear that Carolina is better than people expected and

176
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: those picks you have coming back from them aren't as good.

177
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: The Detroit Lions, what you know. You know that they

178
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 3: have playmakers on offense. They've spent a lot of resources

179
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: on trying to improve that defense, and you know those

180
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: players will play hard for Dan Campbell. What you hope

181
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: is that the offensive line holds up the way it

182
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: did last year Jared Goff, because with the clean pocket

183
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: Jared Goff can play. You hope the offensive line holds up,

184
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: and you hope that even though you took what are

185
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 3: considered non premium positions high in the draft, that those

186
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: guys are instantly day one starters and you get more

187
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: out of your rookies than most teams that took guys

188
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: maybe at premium positions, but weren't the best or the

189
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 3: second best player at their positions in the draft. What

190
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: you fear is that you're the damn Lions, and every

191
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: year of your life as a Lions fan that you've

192
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: gone into with any type of hope, they have found

193
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: a way to kick you in the gut. And that Golf,

194
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: the offensive line is not quite as good, which means

195
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: Golf doesn't have a clean pocket, which means Golf goes

196
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: back to who he was at the end of his

197
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: time with the Rams. That the defense doesn't get it together,

198
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: that drafting a running back and an inside backer with

199
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: your first round picks was as bad as all the

200
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: analytics folks said it was, and that a year where

201
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: you have legitimate playoff expectations, you fall flat Green Bay.

202
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: What you know. You know that, honestly, there is a

203
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 3: team that probably knows as little as anybody else, as

204
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 3: little as anybody in the league. But what you know

205
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 3: is that you have a good coach in Lafloor, and

206
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 3: you are able, for the first time in thirty years

207
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: in Green Bay to kind of fly under the radar

208
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 3: because you don't have a superstar at quarterback and no

209
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: one expects anything out of you this year. What you

210
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: hope is not can Jordan Love be as good as

211
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers in the entirety of his career? But can

212
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 3: Jordan Love be about as good as Aaron Rodgers was

213
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: last year? Maybe Rogers wasn't very good those young receivers,

214
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: can you hope they can take the next step? And

215
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: you hope that the team and Jordan, but mostly the

216
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: rest of the team take it personally that Rogers seems

217
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: to be so damn thrilled with his new setup and

218
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: his new spouse and his new football spouse, I should say,

219
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: with the Jets, and you take it personally. What you

220
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: fear is that Jordan Love is not the guy, and

221
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: Rogers play is rejuvenated and plays really well, and all

222
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you're like, oh my god, we're in

223
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: the NFL wilderness without a place to turn for the

224
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: first time, and like I said, thirty years Minnesota Vikings.

225
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: What you know is you have the best receiver in football,

226
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 3: and you are going to get above average, not great,

227
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: but above average play from your quarterback. That plus an

228
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: offensive minded head coach guarantees you some competency on offense.

229
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson League, average quarterback play offensive my head coach

230
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: of the offense gonna be fine. What you hope is

231
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 3: that the defense can just be slightly below average instead

232
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: of a disaster the way it was in so many

233
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: spots last year. What you fear is that your eleven

234
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: and oh record in one score games was historic for

235
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: a reason and is totally unsustainable. Atlanta Falcons, we're gonna

236
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: go fast, hopefully through the NFC South. Because we are

237
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: thirteen minutes in, we've done eight teams. Is not going

238
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 3: even I thought this would be long. It's going a

239
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: little longer than I thought. How do you think we're doing?

240
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: Are you interested? You locked in? You just over here,

241
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: just snifflin. You're not gonna even say anything.

242
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm listening, you.

243
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: Know, locked in. You listen, you're gonna go off to college.

244
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: And if people are gonna bring you people from all

245
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: over the world, all over the country, dimnent football teams.

246
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: If you retain just one piece of information about each team,

247
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 3: you're gonna be able to jump into any conversation and

248
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: be like, WHOA.

249
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 4: I'm okay. I don't think I'll be a part of

250
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 4: many foot both.

251
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: Well, you never know, Diora all right, Atlanta Falcons. What

252
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 3: you know is Bjeon Robinson is gonna be awesome. You

253
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 3: know that. What you hope is that in that division

254
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: that Ritter looks competent. Bijon, Kyle Pitts, the other weapons,

255
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: Drake London, you have all those weapons and you can

256
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 3: be a fun team. What you fear, and I wouldn't

257
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: actually fear this, I would be hoping for this, is

258
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: that Ritter can't play at all and somehow you're you're

259
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes. I don't think they're gonna

260
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: be bad enough to be in that, but you kind

261
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: of fear. What you actually fear is that the weapons

262
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: in Bijeon are enough to get you to like and

263
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: you've invested some money in defense Kalais Campbell and others.

264
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: You get to six seven wins and you're kind of

265
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: stuck in that purgatory the Saints. What you know is

266
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: you're not going to be terrible. You brought in Derek Carr.

267
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: You keep pretending you're challenging for Super Bowls right now.

268
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: What you hope is that in that division with car

269
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 3: with a bit of a chip on his shoulder, Kamara

270
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: coming back after the suspension, a defense that every year

271
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: is pretty damn good. Yeah, I should turn my ringer off,

272
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: thank you. You hope that you can get to ten wins,

273
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: which is enough for the division. What you fear is

274
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: that you end up where you've been the last couple

275
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: of years, right on the outside looking in, and you

276
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 3: have put so much on it. I know Saints fans

277
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: hate me because they don't understand how the salary cap works.

278
00:17:53,720 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: That's fine that you kept borrowing from Peter to pay Paul,

279
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 3: and you weren't even really paying Paul. You were just

280
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 3: paying off the interest. But the debt has stayed the

281
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: same because that bill is coming due in New Orleans

282
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 3: over the next few years, and that is only worthwhile doing.

283
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: Like if Tampa or the Rams did it. If you

284
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 3: have a legitimate chance of winning the Super Bowl. You

285
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 3: had that with Breeze. You do not have it now

286
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: with Derek Carr Tampa Bay. What you know is you've

287
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: got some good receivers. It's about it. What you hope

288
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: is that with the offensive line back from injury, with

289
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 3: still some talent on defense, not a lot, but some,

290
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 3: and in that division, that you can be around the

291
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 3: type of team you were last year, even though it's

292
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 3: Baker in for Brady, and you can be alive to

293
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 3: win the division. What you fear is that Kyle Trask

294
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: is your quarterback by week five because Baker's played himself

295
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: out of the job, and that you're one of the

296
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: worst teams in the league. Carolina. What you know, you

297
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 3: know that you're at least going to have fun this

298
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 3: year watching Bryce Young as you figure out if you

299
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: made the right decision in trading all those assets to

300
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 3: move up to number one to get Bryce. What you

301
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: hope is that, hey, you were around five hundred last year,

302
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: you have a good defense, You're in a bad division.

303
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: Why can't you, on the talent of the number one

304
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: pick of the draft quarterback go win the division. What

305
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: you fear is that Bryce is too small, the team stinks,

306
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: and you have given up future draft picks that you

307
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 3: are going to need to get him all right to

308
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: the NFC West, the Los Angeles Rams. What you know,

309
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: this is going to be a really tough year. What

310
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 3: you hope, if you're a smart Rams fan, that the

311
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: team recognizes this is going to be a really tough year,

312
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: pivots to rebuild, and you maybe swallow hard and trade

313
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: Aaron Donald. You don't mind if you have to put

314
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 3: Stafford on the shelf and you say, we want to

315
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: be the worst team in the league. Start the whole

316
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: thing over. We have no one on our defense that

317
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 3: reminds us of the Super Bowl except for Donald. On offense,

318
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 3: you have a quarterback coming off an injury. You have

319
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup that's fine, but your offensive line is still

320
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 3: a mess. What you hope is they recognize that and

321
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 3: try to bring in the kid from La Caleb Williams

322
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: with the number one pick. What you fear is that

323
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: Sean McVay won't allow it. That instead, you're destined to

324
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: another season like last year, where you're a five or

325
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: six win team, kind of stuck in this football purgatory.

326
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: The Arizona Cardinals. What you know is you're gonna be terrible.

327
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: What you hope is that you're the worst team in

328
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: the league. What you fear is that somehow you get

329
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: a few wins you shouldn't otherwise get. Because the Cardinals

330
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: are positioned so well because they have they traded away

331
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 3: the number three pick of the draft so they could

332
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: get and Houston's first round pick next year, and they

333
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: have their own first round pick next year and the

334
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 3: ability to trade Kyler at some point, the Cardinals will

335
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: be able to get one of the top two quarterbacks

336
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: in this draft class and maybe Marvin Harrison Junior and

337
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 3: have an additional first round pick from a potential Kyler trade.

338
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 3: This season's gonna stink. It will set the table for

339
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 3: the next decade of Cardinal football. If they're smart. San Francisco,

340
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 3: what you know, you're gonna be really good as always.

341
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: You have. You have two through fifty three is good

342
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 3: of a roster in the league. You're gonna have one

343
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 3: of the best defenses in football. You're gonna have when

344
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 3: he's healthy, a great running game, great receivers. What you

345
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: hope is that what we saw from brock Purty last

346
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 3: year was not a mirage, that it continues on this trajectory,

347
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: and that all of a sudden that you are once

348
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 3: again a legitimate Super Bowl contender. What you fear is

349
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 3: that brock Perty who was physically limited already now coming

350
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: off major elbow surgery, that he is not the guy

351
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: that he looked like for two months last year, and

352
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: Stead he's the guy that was the last pick of

353
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: the draft, And all of a sudden you have already

354
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: given up on Trey Lance. Sam Darnold's the only quarterback there,

355
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 3: and once again we are all left saying, man, if

356
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 3: the Niners had a real quarterback, they'd be dynamic. That's

357
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: what you fear. And then lastly, in the NFC Seattle,

358
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: what you know is that you crushed the draft last year.

359
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: You had rookie tackles. One of them was awesome, the

360
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: other and played well fifth or sixth round corner. That's dynamic.

361
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: That you have all these young players that Pete Carroll

362
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: is molding and that should only be better. What you

363
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 3: hope is that what we saw from Gino last year

364
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 3: was not a mirage. And with those weapons and win healthy,

365
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: you get those running backs back. But DK and Locket

366
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 3: and your running backs that you've spent consecutive second round

367
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: picks on, and Geno leading the NFC in touchdown passes

368
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: last year, that you can actually not just be a

369
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 3: wow shock the Seahawks made the playoffs but maybe won

370
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 3: the division. What you fear is that Geno regresses to

371
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 3: the player that he was a year before, and that

372
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 3: this team all of a sudden has some of the

373
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 3: struggles offensively that people expected them to have last season.

374
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: All right, that's the NFC. That was hard, that was

375
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: longer than I thought. So you know what, let's do this.

376
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of change up the idea here.

377
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 3: Let's now do the rest of the A block as

378
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 3: quickly as we can, and then to start the B block,

379
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 3: the next segment will do the AFC. So there's the

380
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 3: there's the NFC done on the team's won through sixteen

381
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 3: every division. We can now get to your portion of

382
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: the show and we'll make it. And then in the

383
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: start the B block will do.

384
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 4: The AFC as long as I guess.

385
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: No, it started at thirty, we did, and so it

386
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: took twenty minutes to go through. It took twenty minutes

387
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: to go through half the league. Okay, all right, do

388
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: you or what's our first topic or second topic of

389
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 3: the show.

390
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 4: The New Hard Knocks debuted and got another IMDb credit.

391
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 3: Yeah I did. I mean they used me right off

392
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 3: the top of the show. Evidently it's true.

393
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Evidently, I'm sure you have seen it.

394
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it yet. I actually haven't seen it yet,

395
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: but go ahead.

396
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers look like a hero, not a villain. But

397
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 4: we all heard and saw out saw out of Green

398
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 4: Bay the past few years. What a diva he was.

399
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 4: What's a change of scenery really all this guy needed.

400
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 3: It's possible. But here's the thing on that, because I

401
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: know a lot of people's opinion is man an angry

402
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, a motivated Aaron Rodgers, or a happy Aaron Rodgers.

403
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: That's what made That's why they're gonna He's gonna be

404
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 3: great again. If that's true, that is such a stinging

405
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: indictment of Aaron Rodgers football character. If it's true that

406
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: he was a player that was trailing off and then

407
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 3: saw Jordan Love get drafted and that's what motivated him

408
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: to win back to back MVPs. He always had it

409
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: in him. But he had to be angry, and then

410
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 3: he got the big new contract and got complacent, but

411
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 3: then the Packers wanted to move on from him, and

412
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,479
Speaker 3: now he's angry again. He's gonna be awesome. That is,

413
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 3: it would be somewhat remarkable, but it also, to me,

414
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: would be a huge blemish on his resume. The guy.

415
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: Just how good he is has to do with how

416
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 3: slighted or insulted he feels, and so I don't think

417
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: that's what it is. I do think he's happier now,

418
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 3: but I also think he's almost forty, coming off an injury,

419
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: coming off his worst season. I don't think he's going

420
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 3: to be great. You have a follow up on Rodgers.

421
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: If Rogers left Green Bay years ago, how differently would

422
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 4: we all view him.

423
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 3: Well, the idea there is if he had more postseason success,

424
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 3: and yes, the Packers at times I think didn't necessarily

425
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 3: surround him with as many weapons as you would like

426
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 3: to see a great player surrounded with. But he did

427
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 3: have DeVante Adams. It's not like he was stuck with

428
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns, some terrible franchise, and a lot of

429
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: their postseason failed had to do with him not coming

430
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 3: up big in the biggest spots, So I don't maybe

431
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: we'd view him more favorably, or maybe we'd view him

432
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 3: the exact same.

433
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 4: All right, next, Okay, it's the time of the year

434
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 4: where all the headlines are about teams bright futures. There's

435
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 4: not a shed of a shred of bad news across

436
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 4: the league except in Dallas. Dak can't stop throwing interceptions

437
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 4: in a make or break year. If the Cowboys fail

438
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 4: to make a deep playoff run this year, will it

439
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 4: all fall on Dak?

440
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: I gotta see how it happens. I mean, my big

441
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 3: concern with the Cowboys is McCarthy at end of games.

442
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 3: I think Dak has just vacillated from overrated, underrated, and

443
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: never properly rated. Throughout his career. Dak Prescott is somewhere

444
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: from the sixth best to the tenth best quarterback in football.

445
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 3: It's just undeniable that that's where he is. Like if

446
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: you and it is basically impossible to make a list

447
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 3: of ten quarterbacks, the top ten quarterbacks in the league

448
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 3: and not have Dak on it, because if you have

449
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: Mahomes Burrow, the Prince, Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen say All

450
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 3: five of those guys are clear cut better than him.

451
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 3: The next group of quarterbacks, even if you say Rogers

452
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: is better than him, Lamar is better than him, justin

453
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 3: Herbert's better than him, that's eight. For him not to

454
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 3: be top ten, we would need two more guys. So

455
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: who are you gonna say, kirk Cousins. You can't say

456
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 3: Dak's lack of playoff success knocks him out of the

457
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: top ten. But Kirk Cousins is there. You want to

458
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: put Stafford there, maybe, but Stafford now coming off an injury, Tua,

459
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: We've never seen two in the postseason, like, Dak's right there.

460
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: And if Dak has a really good year, he can

461
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 3: leap ahead of Rogers. If Rogers has another down year Lamar.

462
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: If Lamar is another down year, Herbert who has no

463
00:28:54,840 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 3: playoff success, if that's what you're holding against him, so

464
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: the I think Dak is more likely this season to

465
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: raising people's eyes as far as his standing than to

466
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: fall in people's eyes. And I think the interceptions last

467
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: year were an aberration. He has always been a quarterback

468
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 3: that took care of the football. That has not been

469
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: his problem. I don't think all of a sudden he's

470
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: at this stage of his career, just is going to

471
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: become a super turnover prone player.

472
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 4: All right, Next, Chiefs GM and a fan of the show,

473
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 4: Brett Veach said, Chris Jones deserves a big contract. The

474
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 4: Chiefs have never had a top ten defense during the

475
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 4: Mahomes eradde, the Chiefs even need defense as long as

476
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 4: they have Mahomes.

477
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: Well, if they want to rip off the dynasty that

478
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: I'm talking about here, listen, dynasty's in the NFL modern

479
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 3: NFL history. The Steelers in the seventies led by their defense.

480
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: If you want to call the Niners in the nineties

481
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 3: or in the eighties, pardon me. The San Francisco forty

482
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: nine Ers in the decade of the nineteen eighties allowed

483
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: the fewest points of any team in the league. So

484
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 3: they over the course of that decade when they won

485
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 3: four Super Bowls, they had the number one defense. The

486
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: Cowboys in the nineties, yes they had the triplets. They

487
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: also year in year out had a top five defense.

488
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 3: The Patriots obviously, certainly their first three Super Bowls they

489
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 3: were led by their defense, and then their last three

490
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 3: Super Bowls they were led by their offense. But they

491
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: had top ten and usually top five defenses. The Chiefs

492
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: are trying to do something that's nevern done in the NFL,

493
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 3: which is rip off a dynasty with a below average

494
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: for get great a below average defense. I don't know

495
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: that that is unrealistic, but not impossible for this Chiefs

496
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 3: team to be the team I know it can be.

497
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: They don't need to have a top five defense. They

498
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: need to have a round a league average defense. And if, if,

499
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 3: and when Chris Jones is back, and I think he'll

500
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 3: be back, I believe they can have a top ten

501
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 3: defense for the first time in the Mahomes era. And

502
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 3: if this Chiefs team has a top ten defense and

503
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: they stay healthy, they absolutely forget. When the win the

504
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, they can go undefeated. I one thousand percent

505
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: believe that the Chiefs defenses have turned on at times

506
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 3: in the postseason, but they also some of their most

507
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: epic victories the Divisional round against the Bills. The defense

508
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: is in order to be found this last Super Bowl,

509
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: now last Super Bowl, the defense made the play of

510
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 3: the game, the scoop and score by Nick Bolton, but

511
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: that was kind of an unforced error by Jalen Hurts.

512
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 3: I mean, the Chiefs needed thirty eight points to win

513
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 3: the game. So all right, So that's there's the A

514
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 3: block is gonna nice meaty thirty minute opening segment. We'll

515
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 3: do the AFC all sixteen teams. What we know, what's

516
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 3: your hope, what's your fear? Will do that next and

517
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: play a game of this or that before we take

518
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 3: your questions in the sea block. It's all next. What's right?

519
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 6: Hey there, Ryan Reynolds here, it's a new year, and

520
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 6: you know what that means. No, not the diet resolutions,

521
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 6: a way for us all to try and do a

522
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 6: little bit better than we did last year. And my resolution,

523
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 6: unlike Big wireless, is to not be a raging and

524
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,640

547
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 3: so we're gonna slightly change what the plan is for today.

548
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 3: We'll get to this or that in a moment, but

549
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 3: we started today's show by doing what you know, what

550
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: you hope, what you fear for all sixteen NFC teams.

551
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 3: We will do the AFC teams. Now again, I'm just

552
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 3: reading them down the list as they're listed on the

553
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 3: NFL standings page, and everyone zero and zero and so

554
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's it's not alphabetical, it doesn't

555
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: seem but doesn't matter. So to the AFC East, we

556
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 3: will start with the Buffalo Bills. What you know, much

557
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 3: like the Eagles, you know you're going to be at

558
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 3: a bare minimum good. You know you're gonna have one

559
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 3: of the six or seven highest scoring offenses in football.

560
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 3: You know you are going to be one of the

561
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 3: toughest teams to beat in the league for anybody. And

562
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 3: you know your best, you're gonna look as any team,

563
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 3: as good as any team in the league. What you

564
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 3: hope is that you can somehow construct a running game

565
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 3: without asking Josh Allen to to be your most dynamic runner.

566
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: That Josh can keep himself out of harm's way in

567
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 3: the running game, only do it in critical spots, particularly

568
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 3: late in the season, not that it's a really a

569
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 3: break glass in case of emergency part of his game

570
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 3: instead of a featured part of his game. And you

571
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 3: hope that Josh can cut down on those untimely turnovers,

572
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: particularly red zone turnovers that plagued you last year. What

573
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 3: you fear is that another year removed from Brian Dable,

574
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 3: that Josh Allen is going to further regress to the

575
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 3: turnover mistake prone player he was early in his career,

576
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 3: That the Stefan Diggs drama carries over into the season,

577
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 3: That you miss Leslie Fraser, that Von Miller when he

578
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 3: comes back from his ACL is not the guy he

579
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 3: was at the beginning of last season when you signed him,

580
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: and for the first time on this little Mini Bill's era,

581
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 3: you're not even the division winners in the AFCs. That's

582
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 3: what you fear, Miami Dolphins. What you know is you're

583
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: gonna be as fast as any team in the league.

584
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 3: Your defense will be improved with the addition of Vic Fangio,

585
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 3: even though Jalen Ramsey might miss the majority of not

586
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: the entirety of the season. That Hill and Waddle will

587
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: cause headaches for defenses all year long. McDaniel's gonna scheme

588
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 3: them open, and that you are a very viable postseason

589
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 3: You should be a very viable postseason team, if not threat,

590
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: That's what you know. What you hope is that Tua

591
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 3: can stay healthy all year, because when Tua was out there,

592
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 3: you had a top five offense in football. What you

593
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 3: fear is that Tua suffers another concussion and it's that

594
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 3: might end his career, and that once again you're on

595
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 3: this quarterback rufe let that even though you had experience

596
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 3: with it last year, it was not a good experience.

597
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 3: And right now your backup quarterback situation after Tua is

598
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: Mike White and Skyler Thompson, and that you go into

599
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: the season with the biggest injury risk in the league

600
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 3: at quarterback. It bites you in its submarines. Your second

601
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 3: straight year New England. What you hope or sorry, what

602
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: you know is that you're gonna have a top ten defense.

603
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 3: You're going to be incredibly well coached, and your offense

604
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 3: is going to make more sense than it did last

605
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 3: year because you have a professional offensive coordinator instead of

606
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 3: Patricia and Judge figuring it out on the fly. What

607
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 3: you hope is that Mac Jones is really awful. Season

608
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 3: last year was purely a product of the offensive coordinator situation.

609
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 3: That he and Juju and Mike Giseki create instant connections

610
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 3: that Mac Jones can get back to the limited but

611
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 3: stable quarterback he was as a rookie, that the offensive

612
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 3: line can protect him, that Bill O'Brien can scheme some

613
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: guys open, and that Belichick has one last hurrah in

614
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: him if you will, as he pursues Don Shula's all

615
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 3: time wins record. What you fear is that the issues

616
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 3: last year were not just about your coordinator situation. They

617
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 3: were also about mac Jones regressing that you didn't add

618
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 3: enough weapons of this offseason, that you regret not getting

619
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins, and that Belichick's plan of only hiring friends

620
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 3: and family who is coaching staff really bites him this

621
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 3: year and for the first time since before Tom Brady,

622
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 3: since Tom Brady's rookie year, I should say, before Tom

623
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 3: Brady took over, you finished dead las in the AFC

624
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 3: East AFC North Browns. What you know? You know you

625
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 3: have a great running back, maybe the best in the league,

626
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 3: certainly short list. And do you see the screen there

627
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 3: out here talking tray They're asking if you're still awake.

628
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 3: Deora is captivated by this. The Browns. You have maybe

629
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 3: the best running back in the league and maybe the

630
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 3: best edge rusher in the league. You know that you

631
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: hope very obviously that Deshaun watson struggles last year were

632
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 3: about rust and the fact that he obviously had a

633
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 3: lot going on, and that Deshaun Watson this year looks

634
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 3: closer to the Deshaun Watson that we saw. Uh That

635
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 3: the Deshaun Watson that we saw in Houston and then

636
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, him and Amari Cooper, Donovan Buobles, Jones,

637
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 3: Nick Chubb. That's a dynamic offense. What you fear is

638
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 3: that the Deshaun Watson that you gave a fully guaranteed

639
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 3: contract to and three first round picks for is never

640
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 3: going to be that player again, and that you are

641
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: back to being the Browns Pittsburgh. What you know, You're

642
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 3: gonna be in almost every game. You're gonna be as

643
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 3: well coached as any team in the league. TJ. Watt's

644
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: gonna kick a lot of ass. You're gonna have overachieving

645
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 3: mid round receivers. You know that because you're the Steelers.

646
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 3: What you hope is that Kenny Pickett turns out to

647
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 3: be worthy of the first round pick, takes the prototypical

648
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 3: year one to year two leap, and you are in

649
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 3: the mix in that division. What you fear is that

650
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett, in his tiny hands, are not able to

651
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 3: handle being asked to do more offensively, that for the

652
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 3: fifth or sixth straight year, it would feel like you

653
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 3: are very limited at the quarterback position the end of

654
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: the Big Ben era to right now, and that once

655
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: again you're stuck in that eight to nine win range.

656
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 3: I guess it'd be, yeah, eight or nine win range

657
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 3: as Tomlin's never been below five hundred, and you're kind

658
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 3: of stuck in neutral. But you're not gonna be terrible.

659
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 3: There's no chance you're terrible, Cincinnati. What you know is

660
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 3: when Burrow gets back out there, you are going to

661
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 3: have a top six passing game. You kept t Higgins,

662
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 3: you obviously still have Chase. Burrow's awesome, and you're your

663
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 3: passing game and that side of the ball offensively should

664
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 3: be very very good. You know that. What you hope

665
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 3: is that all the personnel changes on defense don't hurt

666
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 3: you too much, Burrow comes back fully healthy from the calf,

667
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,280
Speaker 3: and you are able to not just win the DESI

668
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 3: as you've done the last couple of years, but have

669
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 3: a really gaudy regular season where maybe you're playing home

670
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 3: playoff games as the Bengals after Round one of the playoffs.

671
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 3: Each of the last two years have been on the

672
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 3: road the entire time. What you fear is that Burrows

673
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 3: cap injury lingers, that the defensive personnel changes make your

674
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 3: defense worse, and that a year that really needs to

675
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 3: be a seize the moment year because you're probably losing

676
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 3: t Higgins after this year, that you're not able to

677
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 3: do it. Instead, you take a step backwards and you

678
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 3: were a man was the most talent we were going

679
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 3: to be able to put around Joe at least in

680
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 3: the first seven eight years of his career. Did that

681
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 3: window already close on us? And lastly in the AFC

682
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 3: North Baltimore, what you know, this team doesn't know all

683
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 3: that much. Actually, they have the widest range of potential outcomes.

684
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 3: You know you're gonna be well coached because of Harball.

685
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 3: You know you're not gonna have a bad defense because

686
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 3: you never do, and you have good personnel there. What

687
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 3: you hope is that Lamar could have been a better

688
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 3: passer all along, or at least last few years. He

689
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 3: was being held back by Greg Roman and that system,

690
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 3: and that the move to Todd Monkin spending a first

691
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 3: round pick on Zay Flowers, signing Odell, all of those

692
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 3: giving Lamar that contract, all of those decisions will be vindicated,

693
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 3: and you will have the scariest offense in the league

694
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 3: because you will have a good passing game to go

695
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 3: along with Lamar's one in a lifetime ability as a

696
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 3: runner from the quarterback position, and you can go storm

697
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 3: and win that division, a division you were in the

698
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 3: running for until late last year. Despite Lamar's injury. Cincinnati,

699
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 3: you're almost beat in the playoffs, despite playing a backup quarterback.

700
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 3: What you fear is that the reason Greg Roman was

701
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 3: running the type of offense he was was because Lamar

702
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 3: can't take that next step is a passer. All of

703
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 3: a sudden, your offense is markedly worse because it doesn't

704
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 3: have that diversity of the running game scheme. Lamar is

705
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 3: easier to game playing for as a passer because you're

706
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 3: not worried as much about the speed option and all

707
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 3: the other things Greg Roman was doing in the running game,

708
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 3: and that it was a mistake, that putting all these

709
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 3: chips on Lamar as a passer was a mistake, and

710
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 3: that you take a step backwards. That's what you fear

711
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 3: AFC South quickly the Titans. What you know is you'll

712
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 3: be and sorry it sounds like a cop out, you'll

713
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 3: be well coached. Last year you found you kept fighting.

714
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 3: The last few years, you find ways to win games.

715
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 3: Last year, obviously, you got derailed by the quarterback injury.

716
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 3: What you hope if you're Tennessee is that you can

717
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 3: without having a miserable season, you can find a way

718
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 3: to transition to Will Levis to give him a real

719
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 3: opportunity to see what he has. Like. Ideally, you're winning

720
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 3: games defensively and with Derrick Henry, but Tannehill's not playing

721
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 3: that well, so you can transition to Levis and get

722
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 3: a look at him without having a terrible year. What

723
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 3: you fear is this is the year Derrick Henry finally

724
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 3: hits a wall. DeAndre Hopkins follows in the line of

725
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 3: Randy Moss and Andre Johnson and Julio Jones of all

726
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 3: time receivers who have come to Tennessee to do absolutely nothing.

727
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 3: And then you really fear that when you look at

728
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 3: Levis or Malik willis a different quarterback that you spent

729
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 3: a mid round pick on. Sorry, I don't know how

730
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 3: I tripped. I just like slipped while sitting in this chair.

731
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 3: Doers looking at me funny that they don't have it

732
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 3: and you're stuck in quarterback prerogatory the Jags. What you know,

733
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 3: you know you're going to have a top ten offense.

734
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 3: You know that you have one of the best quarterbacks

735
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 3: in football. What you hope is all of that draft

736
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 3: capital over the last few years, high picks that you've

737
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 3: spent on the defensive side of the ball, that they

738
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 3: take a big leap, that Trevor takes another leap under

739
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 3: Doug Peterson, and that you are in that division, with

740
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 3: that schedule, fighting for the number one seed in the conference.

741
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 3: What you fear is that the boost we all expect

742
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 3: you get from Calvin Ridley, the fact that he's missed

743
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 3: all of last season with suspension. The previous year he

744
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 3: missed half the year with injury, that Ridley is not

745
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 3: the player that you thought you were getting when you

746
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: traded for him. You pay paid a premium last offseason

747
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 3: in free agency, which is kind of tied your hands

748
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 3: as far as flexibility moving forward. Trevor's about to get

749
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 3: this big contract. You kind of stay in neutral when

750
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 3: nine ten ish games are not a real Super Bowl threat,

751
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden you're about to have to

752
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 3: pay Trevor fifty five million a year and things get

753
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 3: a lot harder. That's what you fear. Now. To the

754
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 3: AFC West Denver, what you know, You know you'll be

755
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 3: better coach than you were last year. Sean Payton. Even

756
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 3: if I'm not as high on him as others are,

757
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 3: he obviously was better than Nat Hackett, and obviously the

758
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 3: team will make more sense offensively under Sean Payton. What

759
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 3: you hope is that the fast majority of Russell wilson

760
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 3: struggles last year were due to Nat Hackett and the

761
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 3: change his scenery and all of these things, and that

762
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 3: Russ can get back to who he was the majority

763
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 3: of time in Seattle. What you fear, obviously is that

764
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 3: while the game management stuff was on Nat Hackett, the

765
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 3: quarterback play was on the quarterback, and that the Russ

766
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 3: you saw last year is the rusher getting moving forward.

767
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs, what you know, You're gonna win a

768
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 3: minimum of twelve games. You're going to have one of

769
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 3: the four best offenses in football. You're going to have

770
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 3: as good of a chance as anyone to win the

771
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. That's what you know. What you hope is

772
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 3: that Chris Jones gets to camp at some point in

773
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 3: the next couple weeks, one of these young receivers, either

774
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 3: Sky Moore or Shay Rice or Justin Ross, who I love,

775
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 3: takes a big leap. Kadarius, Tony can stay healthy and

776
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 3: you are a juggernaut like you were the last time

777
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 3: you were the defending champs, winning your first fifteen games.

778
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 3: You went fourteen one before resting Mahomes the final week

779
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 3: of the year and then getting back to the Super

780
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 3: Bowl where your offensive line was all destroyed. But that's

781
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 3: what you hope. What you fear is that Tony stays

782
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 3: nicked up, none of the young receivers take a leap,

783
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 3: and Kelsey hits a wall. Age wise, I don't think

784
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 3: those things are likely, but that would be the fear.

785
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 3: Plus you don't get a deal done with Chris Jones,

786
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 3: so he's unhappy all year and it's your last year

787
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 3: with him. Those would be all of the fears. I

788
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 3: don't think any of those are likely. The Raiders, what

789
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, I don't know. Man. Raiders are

790
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 3: in rough shape. What you know is Davante's awesome I'll

791
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 3: give you that. What you hope is that Jimmy G

792
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 3: can stay healthy all year, that Jimmy G with Josh McDaniels,

793
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 3: with Devonte Adams can be above average passing offense, That

794
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 3: the defense finally makes some splash, impact plays like they've

795
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 3: struggled in the last few years, and all of a

796
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 3: sudden you're alive for the playoffs the way you were

797
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 3: two years ago with Carr. What you fear is that

798
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 3: Jimmy G gets hurt early, that Josh McDaniels is as

799
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 3: bad of a coach as he's appeared to be throughout

800
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 3: his head coaching career, and that you are staring another

801
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 3: last place AFC West finished dead in the face, but

802
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 3: you're not bad enough to get one of those top

803
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 3: two picks to draft a quarterback. And then finally the Chargers.

804
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,439
Speaker 3: What you know, you know you have about as much

805
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 3: talent on paper as any team in the conference, that

806
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 3: when you're healthy, there is no team in the league

807
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 3: you can't beat. That's what you know. What you hope

808
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 3: is that Justin Herbert gets back on the trajectory he

809
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 3: was on the first couple of years of his career

810
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,720
Speaker 3: with Kellen Moore, allowing him to be more aggressive down

811
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 3: the field early, you know early in drives on first

812
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 3: and second down, and that you are finally not snake

813
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 3: bitten due to injury. What you fear is you're just

814
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 3: a cursed franchise who's always gonna deal with injuries. That

815
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 3: Herbert is going to stay in neutral for the third

816
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 3: straight year. And this is a big one. That you

817
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 3: essentially are at the biggest disadvantage of any team in

818
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 3: the league because you play half your games on the

819
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 3: road and half your games at a neutral site, because

820
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 3: you have no home field advantage, and that is enough

821
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 3: of a disadvantage for you to go be a ten

822
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 3: win team instead of a twelve thirteen win team like

823
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 3: your talent says you should. So there it is, DIORA

824
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 3: know what your hope, what you fear? I think we

825
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 3: did a bang up job there. That was great. Now

826
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 3: let's play a quick game before we get to the

827
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 3: listener questions.

828
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 4: Okay, so we're gonna play a game of this or that? Yeah,

829
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 4: sho off a thirty point triple double. Luca and Slovenia

830
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 4: face off against Team USA this weekend. You are rooting

831
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 4: for your nation or your son.

832
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 3: You know, what in this one. I'm rooting for my son.

833
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 3: I'm rooting for Luca. It would mean so much more

834
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 3: for Slovenia and for Luca to win this game. And also,

835
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 3: I don't really the Team USA stuff. I care during

836
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 3: the Olympics. I don't really care during the off year

837
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 3: international competitions. We obviously didn't send like our best NBA players.

838
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 3: I'd like to see Luca win it, all right, Next.

839
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 4: Okay, the Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrine's a new class

840
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 4: this weekend. If you've ever picked up a basketball, you

841
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 4: make it in. Meanwhile, you aren't letting Derek Henry in

842
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 4: the NFL Hall of Fame. The better hall of Fame

843
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 4: is football or basketball.

844
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 3: To be fair, I didn't say Derek Henry's not in.

845
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 3: I just said he's not a lock, and it's obviously football.

846
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 3: The NBA Hall of Fame is too watered down. It's

847
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 3: not even the NBA Hall of Fame. It's the basketball

848
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, so you get credit for college and international.

849
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 3: The Pro Football Hall of Fame is the better hall

850
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 3: of fame, and it's not even a debate. Next first round.

851
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 4: Rookie running back by John Robinson is listed third on

852
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 4: the depth chart. Reading into early depth charts is essential

853
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 4: or hilarious.

854
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 3: Hilarious. Listen, b Jon Robinson's best player on that team

855
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 3: is a rookie. Flatly, he's not gonna be third. It's

856
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 3: just like, oh, he's a rookie. He's got to earn

857
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 3: his spot. He earned his spot when you took him

858
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 3: in the top ten. Guys. They're putting him third on

859
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 3: the depth charts is stupid. All right.

860
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 4: Next, someone famous who often makes ridiculous statements said yesterday,

861
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 4: anything not first is second or last. The notorious leader

862
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,240
Speaker 4: of men who said this was Russell Williams.

863
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 3: Russell Willis Wilson.

864
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 4: That's like the third time I've done that. Yeah, our

865
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 4: Ricky Bobby.

866
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it was Russell Wilson. It was

867
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 3: a really ridiculous quote. I've read it a couple times. Uh.

868
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 3: He said anything not first is second or last. The

869
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 3: Broncos would be thrilled to finish second division. You also

870
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 3: can make the playoffs finishing second or third. Technically, you

871
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 3: make the playoffs finishing last in the division. It's just

872
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 3: never happened. It's just it's just a bad quote, all right.

873
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 4: Next, Okay, gosh, sorry, my iPad glitch. A new game

874
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 4: has fully occupied the brains of sports fans for the

875
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 4: past few weeks. Even the Vikings are playing them in

876
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 4: team meetings. Which one are you better at? Nick's better

877
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 4: immaculate grid is NBA or NFL.

878
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 3: I think this will surprise people. I'm not good at

879
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 3: stuff like this. I don't like I if you were

880
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 3: to ask me right now, like what number does Trevor

881
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 3: Lawrence war I can't tell you. I like can't see it,

882
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 3: so like players Jersey numbers and then just like the

883
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 3: instant recall of oh, this guy played for multiple teams

884
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 3: for some reason. I'm no good at it, like I'm

885
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 3: very and it's not because I don't have a good memory.

886
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 3: Because I could you ask me who won any Super

887
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 3: Bowl or any NBA championship in history. I can tell you,

888
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 3: But that's another thing I can't tell you, because like

889
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 3: I know who won the nineteen seventy five super Bowl.

890
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 3: What I can do is I can go backwards in

891
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 3: history year by year by year by year and give

892
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 3: you all of it. But I'm no good at the

893
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 3: immaculate grid thing.

894
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 4: I think something that Nick Wright is not good.

895
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 3: There's plenty of things I'm not good Everybody, take note. No,

896
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 3: there's plenty of things you don't think. I think I'm

897
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 3: good at everything. There's plenty of things I'm not good at.

898
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 3: But this is the type of thing I think people

899
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 3: would expect me to be good at. I'm just not

900
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 3: good at all. Right next, Okay.

901
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 4: The last six shows of Taylor Swift's aristour have generated

902
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 4: three hundred and twenty million dollars for the Los Angeles economy.

903
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 4: Kobe once gave her a jersey, and Taylor gave his

904
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 4: daughter the twenty two hat. La seems to have really

905
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 4: embraced her. The star more adored in La is Taylor

906
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 4: Swift or Lebron Probably Taylor.

907
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 3: Here's what I well, here's what I find so interesting

908
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 3: about the Taylor Swift stuff. And I don't who do

909
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 3: you think the biggest musical star in the world is Beyonce.

910
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 3: I'm not a Swiss, so okay, so here's the thing

911
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 3: I'm not. We've talked about being Swifties and stuff before

912
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 3: on the show. I'm not either value nothing against it,

913
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 3: but the way, so the Renaissance tour is going on

914
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 3: right now as well. They're both obviously massive international tours. Yes,

915
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 3: but there is to me like a real too America's

916
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 3: thing about do you think the biggest pop star in

917
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 3: the world, you know, is it Taylor Swift or is

918
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 3: it Beyonce? Because prior to this tour one second, I

919
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 3: would have thought everyone was playing for second place to Beyonce.

920
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 3: But Taylor's selling out six shows in LA in a

921
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 3: row and all these things, and she has like four

922
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 3: top ten records right now. Maybe objectively speaking, just raw numbers,

923
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 3: maybe she is bigger than Beyonce. But I do think

924
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 3: there is a huge either cultural or racial divide on

925
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 3: Swift versus Beyonce. Now I think Taylor. I think Beyonce

926
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 3: probably has more of a crossover fans than Taylor necessarily does.

927
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 4: But Taylor is Taylor's more with my generation.

928
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 3: More so. Taylor's bigger among younger people than Beyonce.

929
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 4: Now there's kids at my school who like, when I

930
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 4: first came to the school, I love Beyonce, and people

931
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 4: are like, who's that?

932
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 2: Man, I don't believe, No, it's It's like it.

933
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 4: It may be a slightly racial thing in some in

934
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 4: some senses, who's Beyonce. I'm like, oh, the one who

935
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 4: sings this song? Oh, I know that song, but like

936
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 4: I didn't know she's saying that.

937
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 3: Okay, well maybe so maybe the maybe my age is

938
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 3: showing here. And I guess that makes sense because Beyonce's

939
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 3: been big for twenty years, but Taylor was big enough.

940
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 3: The Kanye thing at the at the Grammy's happened fourteen

941
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,479
Speaker 3: fifteen years ago, so she's been big for a really

942
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 3: long time too. I just find it. I find it

943
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 3: fascinating that maybe I just had a blind spot for

944
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 3: how massive Tailor Swift was because I thought everyone was

945
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 3: playing playing for second place to Beyonce. No matter. I'm

946
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 3: not talking about quality and music. I'm talking about any

947
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 3: of that. I'm talking about worldwide acclaim.

948
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 4: I think it's because Beyonce didn't come out with music

949
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 4: for a really long time. Oh maybe it made people

950
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 4: and that Taylor Swift just kept going.

951
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 3: And man, they're all hits. She had four top ten

952
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 3: do you I'm just say, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

953
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 3: I I I again, I don't. I'm not. I don't

954
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 3: listen enough music, nor am I sophisticated enough musically to

955
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 3: evaluate any of this stuff. I'm simply saying, by the

956
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 3: definition of what a hit is she creates hits on

957
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 3: a level we have not seen since Michael Jackson. Taylor,

958
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 3: you're trying.

959
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 4: To say that she's the new Michael Jackson, that's what,

960
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 4: But that that is something I refuse to listen to.

961
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 3: So here's the thing though, on that by the.

962
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 4: Numbers she is, I don't care about I right, but

963
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 4: that's what people genuinely going around being like Taylor Swift

964
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 4: is the new.

965
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 3: But here's the thing that opinions are subjective. The numbers

966
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 3: that she does, as far as what her songs chart,

967
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 3: the the ticket sales arenas all this stuff. She I

968
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 3: guess she is bigger than Beyonce, but that is just

969
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 3: unfathomable to me. And but it's just objectively true. And

970
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 3: as far as the numbers, if we are just talking

971
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 3: about like most successful musical acts ever, the Beatles, Michael Jackson,

972
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift appear to be I know, but it's crazy,

973
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 3: but it's true. Man, Like they appear to be three

974
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 3: of the Mountain. Like I think she has passed the

975
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 3: Rolling Stones.

976
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 4: I like won't even hear it, but it's but I

977
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 4: know I will not even what I'm telling.

978
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 3: You is it's just objective fact it's fascinating to me.

979
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 4: Is a better perform Taylor Swift can't even date.

980
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 3: Okay, careful, now we're gonna I don't need a contact

981
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 3: by these.

982
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 4: No, I'm pretty sure this is like a known thing

983
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 4: with all of her fans. Taylor Swift can't dance and

984
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 4: Beyonce's performance.

985
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 3: I agree, Listen, Dior, I just like I agree with

986
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 3: you one hundred on like preference and quality, all of it.

987
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 3: But it is a phenomenon what this woman is doing,

988
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 3: and I think she is the biggest pop star in

989
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 3: the world. It's it's fascinating to me. We answer your

1004
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 4: segment moving forward.

1005
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 3: I'm telling you I don't think.

1006
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 4: I don't.

1007
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 3: First of all, I don't think it'd be good content.

1008
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 3: Second of all, I don't think i'd be that good

1009
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 3: at it. And I'm not really into like publicly doing

1010
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 3: things i'm not excellent at. It's not my thing, Like, Hey,

1011
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 3: here's this thing that I know i'm not great at,

1012
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 3: let me do it in front of thousands of people.

1013
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 3: That doesn't sound fun, all right?

1014
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 4: Next, FtF said, Russ has looked really good in training camp.

1015
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 4: So if Russ has a really good outing on Friday

1016
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 4: in the preseason, would you be more confident in him?

1017
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 3: No, I need to see it. And I just I

1018
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 3: didn't think Russ looked good his final year in Seattle.

1019
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 3: I know some of the numbers were good, he didn't

1020
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 3: look like the same player, and I think that Russ

1021
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 3: as a top an above average quarterback in this league.

1022
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 3: I think that's done, so I will need to see

1023
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 3: it for an extended period in the regular season for

1024
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 3: me to believe it.

1025
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 4: Next, Ethan Cross asked, do you think the Steelers are

1026
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 4: getting disrespectful by having the worst odds to win the

1027
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 4: AFC North.

1028
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 3: Well, I think they should have worse odds than Cincinnati

1029
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 3: or Baltimore. I don't think they should have worse odds

1030
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 3: than Cleveland. But it's not the Steelers who that is disrespecting.

1031
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 3: It's Kenny Pickett. That's just Vegas flat Lee and I

1032
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 3: guess the general public not believing in Kenny Pickett. It's

1033
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 3: as simple as that.

1034
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 4: Next phase ninety one said, Hey, Nick, Prague viewer getting

1035

Speaker 4: married in about ten days and a response would be

1036
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 4: the best gift. If you weren't in the US, what

1037
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 4: culture slash reson region would you choose to immerse yourself

1038
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 4: in sports wise?

1039
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 3: Oh that's it. Oh listen, by the way, shout out

01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 3: these places for me. I'm going to Amsterdam, Cologne, Germany, Brussels,

1044
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 3: and then Paris over the next ten days. After you

1045
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 3: know we leave tomorrow, me, my wife, and our August

1046
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 3: travel partners, which are her grandparents who are ninety three

1047
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 3: and ninety. Her granddad hosted the show with me one time,

1048
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:37,439
Speaker 3: but my answer is, what what do you are? He did, Yeah,

1049
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 3: back when we were doing at home, back when the

1050
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 3: podcast was at home. Yeah, granddaddy did a segment with me.

1051
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 3: I think I have to watch the so but my

1052
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 3: answer to that is European football, European soccer, and the

1053
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 3: only place I've there are two places I've been that

1054
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 3: I think I could actually live full time, uh, outside

1055
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 3: of the US, and that's Barcelona and Rome. I and

1056
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 3: maybe just Barcelona, maybe Rome, but definitely Barcelona. And I

1057
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 3: could definitely get into Spanish football. Spanish soccer. I like

1058
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 3: it already, But I the I think the Caribbean is beautiful,

1059
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 3: but I couldn't live there is not It's just not

1060
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 3: enough to do and not enough food options. If I'm

1061
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 3: being totally honest, I think my favorite thing about living

1062
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 3: in New York City is the food. But I I

1063
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 3: I think I would just just dive headfirst into European

1064
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 3: soccer because it's so passionate and I've been to a

1065
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 3: game and it's so good. But I but I listen.

1066
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 3: I'm traveling to a whole areas of Europe that I've

1067
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 3: never been. I haven't traveled as much as I would

1068
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 3: like to have up to this point in my life.

1069
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 3: But I'm I'm trying to make up for it now.

1070
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 3: So that that's my answer. Phase and shout out people

1071
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 3: say Czech Republic is beautiful. All right, that's that'll. That'll
