00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,680

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: uncomfortable about it, mostly me, but west especially. We're using

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: in the industry what are called what t lob But

Speaker 1: she's an expert relation to old pirates catcher Spanky Lavalier.

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: What is that reference? He's a catcher for the pirates

15
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: last references that no one under the age of thirty

16
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: five is any idea what he's talking about. Colleen, How

17
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: the hell are you doing? I'm great, Yeah, super excited.

18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: I feel like it's been a while. It has been.

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: We we were talking on my flight back from Philly.

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: It was really excited. Yeah, we were discussing over text

21
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: while Colleen was flying back here, and you're very excited

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: to chat clearly lonely on the airplane. I had nobody

23
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: to talk to when I was going crazy, and I

24
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: just wanted somebody to text me back. And so Dan,

25
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: Dan was the only one that I'm a dependable dude

26
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: and the guy that you know helps people out. Hey,

27
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: very big show today, Like I legitimately mean that we

28
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: have a lot to get to today. Uh, you know, Gregor,

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: the Making the Leap series is in full bloom now

30
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: and the number nineteen out of twenty entry was my boy,

31
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Geno Smith of the York Jets. And as soon as

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: I read Greg's fantastic piece, and I did read it,

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: it's the first thing read that I wrote. You have

34
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: to write a wildly complimentary piece about a Jets player

35
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: to get that. I didn't even know Greg wrote for

36
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: around the NFL until I read that. But it was

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: very thought provoking piece at the very least. So we're

38
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Geno Smith, and we're also going to

39
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: uh check it with Kevin Patra who was at the

40
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: Rookie Symposium. Where is that that's in Ohio, Aurora, But

41
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: they made a trip to Barria in Cleveland, which is

42
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: about now. They also went to the Hall of Fame

43
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: in Canton. But yeah, Aurora. Does every state have an Aurora?

44
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: It feels like it wasn't that where wayned World was Aurora, Illinois,

45
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: So maybe there is an Aurora Aurora everywhere. We will also,

46
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: uh do something we did last year. Now. I meant

47
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: to check if we got this right. I'm sure we did,

48
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: because some brilliant football minds in here. Uh, we are

49
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: going to declare on June who is not a contender

50
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: for the super Bowl this year? Outright? No chance? Maybe

51
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: it's like the the precursor to our stick a Forkingham series,

52
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: which I don't think we do that anymore. But we

53
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: will decide which teams. You know, if you're a fan base,

54
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: still listen to the podcast obviously, but understand that while

55
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: you might enjoy and have fun following your team, it

56
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: will not end in San Francisco in February. No chance. Well,

57
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: they call this this season of hope, and we're ending

58
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: that season. For some fans, there are just super Bowl

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: contender or playoff contender. Super Bowl contender. No, we're gonna

60
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: eliminate like today, No I think even playoff content. I mean,

61
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: if you make the playoffs, you could win the super Bowl.

62
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: It's not true the Bengals can't win the super Bowl. Well,

63
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: we'll get into all that. It's a yeah, it's something

64
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: we'll get into. And of course we're gonna bring it

65
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: back after a one week hiatus. Hiatus even though it's

66
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: only been around one week? Are you kidding me? With

67
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: Connor or our New Jersey correspondent for Around the NFL.

68
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: So yes, a lot to get to, but before we

69
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: do any of that, we check behind the glass TD

70
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: pushing us into boundaries that make us uncomfortable as usual,

71
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: but listen, all for a greater good, right, That's what

72
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: it is like a game of thrones, man, That's why

73
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: the throne is you know, made of swords. You can't

74
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: get too comfortable, you know, always gonna be you push

75
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: it either way. Um, they're about two, my ken about twenties.

76
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: That's good to move on from that analogy. None of

77
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: us know Dan does like you guys need to stop.

78
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: Dan's is actually one of us, you know, like heach

79
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: us to act like as you guys are sounding old.

80
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: But Dan, you know, Dan gets down and I don't know.

81
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: It's not because I'm old, because you know, there's always

82
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm a little plugged in. I'm a little more pu

83
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: plugged into pop culture than my colleagues, probably a lot.

84
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: At some point, t you're gonna realize you have an

85
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, a finite amount of time on this earth,

86
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: and you just wasted like fifteen years watching super It's

87
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: for mercy quels anyway. Your point point is has to

88
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: mike count uh twenty, they're twenty different cities in the

89
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: United at least two in New York. That's really random

90
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: in New York, it's too in New York. Yes, did

91
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: you find out who the Nigerian president was? Did I

92
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: told you last time? What was it or something? Mohammed

00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: dude Bohari? Yeah, I know, I know, I know what's

Speaker 1: going on. All right. I have a fun movie story,

95
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: but I won't tell it you guys down. That's what's

96
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: called the tease for something that will never happen. Let's

97
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: do some news, all right. You don't want your story,

98
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: but never I'm not gonna tell it. Well, I mean

99
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: we're busy, we got a lot of stuff to get to.

100
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: How good is the story? It's just weird. That's all

101
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 1: that's interesting. All right. Tell the story of this movie

102
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: Dope came out last week because I have a shop,

103
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: I'm about to go see the movie Dope. I'm getting

104
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: my hair cut and Barbarie Barbara gets a call from

105
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: his sister who lets him know that he's in a

106
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: movie Dope, in a barbershop scene. You know, So I

107
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: was like, how random was that? That's all it is.

108
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: That's the story. That's the story. You know, when you

109
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: see the movie Dope and I got my hair cut

110
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: by the guy barbershop in the movie Dope, that's kind

111
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: of wow. Let's listen this hit single of Sierra probably

112
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: here best single ever, and that's what Russell Wilson is

113
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: all about right now. Yeah, Russell Wilson is. It's interesting

114
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: what he's going for. He's one of the more milk

115
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: toast NFL stars and I think he's trying to add

116
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: a little edge. So he's getting cr in the mix.

117
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: Who was, you know, kind of a frisky R and

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: B star. They're dating supposedly, and he posted kind of

119
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna say it was an inappropriate

120
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: image of Sira, but it was one of those type

121
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: of you know, sultry type images that he used Google

122
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: for it. Oh did he? I mean it's always good

123
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: to artificially construct an edge instead of just being yourself.

124
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: So you're saying, this is one of the relationships constructed

125
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: by publicists and it doesn't even read. It's incredibly lame. Yeah,

126
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have to, you know, post a

127
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: picture of your girlfriend, use your personal photos, not Google.

128
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some news. Crra and Russell Wilson.

129
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: Good luck to you kids. All right, We'll start with

130
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, who, as as we all know, in the

131
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: off season, there were some whispers about what his future

132
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: was in Denver. They wanted to take a pay cut.

133
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: He eventually did take a pay cut, and then we

134
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: had a report they came out that there were some

135
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: talks or there was some buzz between the Texans and

136
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos about a trade in the off season. The

137
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: Texans were one of the teams that were in the

138
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: mix originally before Peyton Manning signed with the Broncos. So

139
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: there was a report that those two teams that had

140
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: some preliminary type talks about a potential deal that has

141
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: been swatted down in multiple places. Including our own NFL

142
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: media insider Ian rap Report, who was on the Rich

143
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: I doesn't show Wednesday, he said talks. Account of the

144
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 1: alleged trade talks was quote, not how it went down.

145
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: Here's the ian said. I do believe there was some

146
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: conversation between the Texans and several teams who have quarterbacks.

147
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: What it sounds like is that the Texans reached out

148
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 1: to teams and tried to see what was there. So Greg,

149
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: we'll start with you on this one. It sounds like

150
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: just due diligence by one team doesn't mean that the

151
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: Broncos were looking to trade the greatest quarterback of this generation. Well,

152
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: it's not even the first time we heard about this.

153
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: Matt money Smith talked about that he had heard someone

154
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: who would know from someone who would know that there

155
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: had been some conversations between the Texans and and the

156
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: Broncos weeks ago. Money said that right he did. It

157
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: was on the Move the Sticks podcast. Wow, if we're

158
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: trying not to bring that, what what is that? That

159
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: is that something that it happens like five months during

160
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: the year. I don't like what it is. So I

161
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: want to hand it the idea that they would talk

162
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: make some sense, because the most important or inter i

163
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: seen thing I thought out of this whole storyline was

164
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: that the Broncos initially asked Peyton Manning to take a

165
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: ten million dollar pay cut, and they did ultimately shove

166
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: a four million dollar pay cut down his throat. So

167
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: if they were willing to ask him to take a

168
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: ten million dollar pay cut and he had to take,

169
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: they had to have been willing to move on from

170
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: him this offseason. I mean, you don't. You can't tell

171
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: a guy to take a pay cut like that without

172
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: being ready for what's behind door number two, which is

173
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: just saying sorry, cut me. I think that's interesting. And

174
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: the other part that Money talked about was that the

175
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: Broncos perhaps considered this along with the pay cut thing,

176
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: that they they viewed brock Oswilder as a guy who's ready,

177
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers was ready. That's the way Money put it.

178
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,239
Speaker 1: And you know, Rock Sheet wrote told us last January

179
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: that I can tell you from sources inside the Broncos organization,

180
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: this is a guy they feel very good about. So

181
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: we haven't seen much of Broncosts wild other than preseason act,

182
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: but apparently the Broncos are a lot higher on him

183
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: than most people around the country. Ord And look, every

184
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: team is going to do this at the end of

185
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: the season too, even with the changes that they had

186
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: they bring in a new coach, Gary Kubiak's there. I mean,

187
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: of course they're probably not going to trade him, but

188
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: they kind of have to see what's out there and

189
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: what teams are willing to offer. Well, it makes sense

190
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: to me that the Texans would call to see what's up,

191
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: because that would be a great situation for them. The

192
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: conflicting reports really come from who in Denver would possibly

193
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: have been ready to move on from Peyton Manning. Logic

194
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: tells you John Elway is the one calling all the shots.

195
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: Is he the guy that would be excited about going

196
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: to brock Ey Sweiler. There's other reports that John Fox

197
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: really wanted to move on without Peyton Manning and per

198
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: and perhaps that was one of the reasons why when

199
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: he left, John Elway said we didn't see things the

200
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: same way in terms of how we're going to move forward.

201
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: That that makes that a little more believable, because ultimately

202
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: John Elway could have moved on for him, he didn't.

203
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: He's paying him fifteen million dollars a year he's on

204
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: the team. Well, I think every organization there's a faction

205
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: that wants something that maybe the vice president or the

206
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: general manager doesn't want, and those are the that faction

207
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: is usually who the reports come from. Cut feeling will

208
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: go around the horn real quick. Peyton Manning on the

209
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: Broncos next season, Colleen Yesterday, I'd say, now, yes, fields

210
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: make or break this year. Sessler's premonition about retirement. I mean,

211
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: he almost got it right here. This year. Peyton Manning

212
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: is very much year to year. He's forty years old

213
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: at this point. I mean, I would think though he's

214
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: either going to be with the Broncos or his career

215
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: is over. I don't think there's another team. Emmanuel Sanders

216
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: recently came out and said he believes this is not

217
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's final year. I think it's gonna it's gonna

218
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: come down to it. Can't he do it physically, and

219
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he can move the sticks? Is about

220
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: first downs, We're about touchdowns. How's that? Wow? All right?

221
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: You guys, you guys can your moved the sixth response

222
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: in his next podcast in two thousand and seventeen. Next week,

223
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: moving on, moving on, alright. The update out of New

224
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: England or out of New York where Tom Brady, Uh,

225
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: he had his appeal hearing, of course on Tuesday. It

226
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: lasted over ten hours, his attorney Jeffrey Kessler, so that

227
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: the timetable afterwards for a ruling was up in the air.

228
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: Rap Sheet reported on Wednesday's edition of NFL Total Access

229
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: that the appeal the post hearing briefs for the appeal

230
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: are due late next week. Uh So Goodell Roger Goodell

231
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: don't have the process of those briefs, which means no

232
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: decision is imminent. So it sounds like for the next

233
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: week or two or who knows how long this will

234
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: hang in the air. Colleen, Um, are you surprised that

235
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: this is something that could drag out beyond Tuesday in

236
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: two days and weeks? No, not at all. But I

237
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: think the most interesting thing I saw that came out

238
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: of this was that his appeal. Brady's appeal offered full

239
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: explanations to every question and were context than was provided

240
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: to Ted Wells, which I hadn't really thought about before.

241
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering what other context that he didn't put

242
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: in that report. You guys saw how long that report

243
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: was I guess that's why in the meeting lasted so long.

244
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: But I could see this dragging on. I wish I

245
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: could see the interactions between Brady's lawyers and Ted Wells,

246
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: because Ted Wells is in that meeting awkward, you know,

247
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they've they have basically slammed him. There's a

248
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: lot of funny things about this Tom Brady thing. One

249
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: is that one of the first things we put in

250
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: our article after the appeal ended was that both sides

251
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: agreed to a confidentiality agreement and so that there wouldn't

252
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: be any leaks, you know, about what's what happened in

253
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: that room. Within twenty four hours, there were there was

254
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: an article on ESPN saying what an amazing job Tom

255
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: Brady did in that room and that he was so

256
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: credible and literally the quote was Tom Brady was Tom

257
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: Brady's biggest asset on when Tuesday, and then immediately there's

258
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: another report which came more from an NFL side, leaked

259
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: out saying, you know, Tom Brady didn't give us anything,

260
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: basically that he didn't the first time, so everyone completely

261
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: broke the confidentiality agreement. The vibe in our newsroom on

262
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: that Tuesday. Everybody had a weight around for hours for

263
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: it to end. Everybody thought Tom Brady would come out

264
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: at the end of the meeting. He ended up going

265
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: out through you know, the underground tunnel or whatever. So

266
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: that was funny to watch live on the feeds. Everyone

267
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: in the office let down. And then there was the

268
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: scramble because there was no leaks initially. And then there

269
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: was an ESPN report where we heard, obviously the Brady

270
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: side of it, and then this wild little piece of

271
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: an ESPN report, I'll read it. Patriots owner Bob Kraft,

272
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: who was on a trip to Israel with a group

273
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: of Pro football Hall of famers, sent a sworn affidavit

274
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: backing Brady. One source said the affidavit was very compelling

275
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: and had quote and almost a holy feel to it.

276
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: What what what are you talking about? Tom Brady couldn't

277
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: resist leaking the air out of football, so how is

278
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: he going to resist? We're on fire? Touchdown thing? This

279
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: now home runs? No, I mean, nothing ever came out

280
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: about who wasn't a team Two teams were heating footballs

281
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: this year, the Vikings and Panthers. Well that was in

282
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: a game against each other. Yeah, but that's still against

283
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: the rules, right, and they just got fine, arbitrary, capricious

284
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: this whole thing. I have less to say now about

285
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: this Brady appeal than I did about the J. J.

286
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: Watt selfie celebration video that we recorded this morning. We've

287
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: done a lot of crazy things. I mean, just to

288
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: feel this back we're doing. We're doing some NFL Now videos.

289
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: Now we're pretending it's week eight to practice for the season.

290
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: Just as a little sample, pull back the curtains. You know,

291
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: we know a whole lot about week eight right now.

292
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: If you want to see some acting chops, just watch

293
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: Dan hands this pretend to have a hot take about

294
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: whether Mike smith is want to get fired or not.

295
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: That's it's the middle of wood than the Trojan Horse. Sorry,

296
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: we're going that video is more sealed off than the

297
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: Brady of meeting. Alright, moving on, alright, we're gonna set

298
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: the table for the scientists. Chris Westling here a little bit.

299
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars haven't had a one thousand yard receiver in

300
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: ten years. What Chris Westling thinks. There are two guys

301
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: that have a chance to do it this year. Second

302
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: year wide receiver Allen Robinson, who has had a quote

303
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: unbelievable uh performance in offseason practices. And Julius Thomas, who

304
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: of course came over from Denver big free agent signing west.

305
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Why are you so excited about the Jaguars? That's I'm

306
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: just excited to be able to talk about the Bermuda

307
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: Triangle in the NFL. You know, one of those teams

308
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: from the Southeast that you're not allowed to talk about

309
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: because they don't exist. So I think it's fun that

310
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: the Jaguars looked Allen Robinson. Everybody was raving about him,

311
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas, They're gonna He's gonna be the focal point

312
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: of their offense. Look at their offensive line. They've got

313
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: three guys who could come in and be starters. Blake Bortles,

314
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: it's fixing his mechanics. That Parnell they brought in though

315
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: when he was a backup last year, only has seven

316
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: career starts, and they're still way better than whoever they

317
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: had played. Right spells his name weird at the end, Jeremy,

318
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: look at Colleen, you get that Parnell hot take. Here?

319
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: Are you excited about the Jaguars? I I want to be.

320
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: I wish I could but I'm not really there. I

321
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: like Gus Bradley, I like what he does. I like

322
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas there and Blake Bortles, and I'd like to

323
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: see Blake Bortles take that next step. I'm with West.

324
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: The Titans and the Jaguars are both more interesting now.

325
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: I think the Jaggars are gonna finished second place in

326
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: that division. I think Bordles has a lot of potential

327
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: to be a really fun quarterback to watch. And uh,

328
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: I think the an should talk next. No, I'm saying,

329
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: oh my god, you're all in on the Jacks. Second,

330
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: I said that, I said that months ago that I

331
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: think the Jaggars are going to have the season that

332
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: kind of people expected them to have last year. This

333
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: year at seven or eight wins, it's allowsy to visit

334
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: eight win type of I just I will throw out

335
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: there that some some of us more than others, were

336
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: very amped up about the Jaguars last year. The same leadership.

337
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: We have some different players in the midst issue here,

338
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: but we didn't see a lot from Blake Bortles last year.

339
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: I think the one who was pumped up about the

340
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: Jaguars is not here today. He was pumped up about

341
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: Toby Gerhardt. Mr. Marks, that's amazing. He was expecting a

342
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: lot of yardage out of Toby. But yeah, I mean

343
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: there there's I mean Julius Thomas. That's the one guy

344
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: if I had had to throw somebody out there, that

345
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: I would be the most nervous about. In terms of

346
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: when you look at who are the free agent bus,

347
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: it's a big drop off from healthy Peyton Manning to

348
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: uneven and unproven Blake Bortles. So I don't know if

349
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm ready to think that he's

350
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: a thousand yards receivers there only target, though he'll be

351
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: their number one target. At least Julias Thomas is a

352
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: good player. This notion that he's a product of Peyton Manning,

353
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: there's just altogether untrue. It's a really interesting young receiver group.

354
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: If you put that receiver group on the Patriots, that

355
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: those guys could be stars, Alan Robinson and Julius Thomas,

356
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: and there's depth there. It's weird. It's weird to see

357
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback with three rookie receivers that are all

358
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: pretty good. They could improve a lot. Mob Bradshaw moving on,

359
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: guess a Mob Bradshaw is facing a one game suspension

360
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: for violating the league's policy and Program on substances of abuse. Uh,

361
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: a league spokesman spokesman confirmed to Around the NFL on Monday. UH.

362
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: This goes back to Bradshaw, who is a free agent

363
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: right now. Running back pleaded not guilty to a marijuana

364
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: possession charge earlier this year. Uh. He's recovered from his

365
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: fractured fibula. Greg, I know when we made that sandwich wager,

366
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: you thought Bradshaw would be giving you some tally when

367
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: we were trying to figure out how much guaranteed money.

368
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: It never happened. Uh. And this is part of the

369
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: reason why I guess and I'm I'm gonna owe you

370
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: a sandwich because the two of the guys we just

371
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: talked about a couple of weeks ago, go give him

372
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: a job, a mod brads On, Pierre Thomas, they don't

373
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: have jobs. They should be on a team, even even

374
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: though my Bradshaw suspended, he should be on a team. Yeah.

375
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: You mentioned last time we talked about him that they

376
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: would probably wait until week two to sign him because

377
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: that's when veteran contracts are no longer guaranteed. That makes

378
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: some sense, especially if you have a one game suspension.

379
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: By the way, I am loyal to a mud roch,

380
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: a member of the l a Gray Beeards. Still in

381
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: my still in my clubhouse, waiting for the phone to ring.

382
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: No suspension on my team. Do you make any phone

383
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: calls on their behalf? Would you rather keep them for

384
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: Colleen or any listeners that didn't? You know? Check this

385
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: article out. Dan made an all star team of of

386
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: older gentlemen who could use some work. Older guys that

387
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: are in greg and I case five or six years

388
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: younger and less or so in an amazing physical shape. Yeah,

389
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: pristine men. So they have a home on my roster.

390
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: Not everyone. By the way, shout out to uh Pierre Thomas,

391
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: who gave me a nice little life thrill who by

392
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: following me on Twitter her after we mentioned him for

393
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: go get him a job. An appreciative Pierre Thomas. Are

394
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: we already in the humble bragg portion of this? I'm not.

395
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: There's nothing humble about it. Who's humble? All right? And finally, West,

396
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: this is important for you to know. Consider this the

397
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 1: teachable moment, and then it's all just keeping in your

398
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: mind for down the stretch. The Titans announced a new partnership.

399
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: Their stadium is now called Nissan Stadium. It was LP Field.

400
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: Very good. Yeah, I feel like you need to whisper

401
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: that too. Every time you say Nissan Stadium sounds like

402
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: a place where champions are born. Kind of fits though.

403
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: The Titans like a dependable, nondescript relatively. I look, I

404
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 1: I would be a little better than you realize. I

405
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: owned a center back in the day, like a ninety

406
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: up the three point seven million that you got from

407
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: Nissan and called Titans Field. Mm hmm, I don't know.

408
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: Maybe they got more than three points. Probably, Uh, that

409
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: is what's happening. Alright, Moving on, let's keep rolling. We'll

410
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: get into the making the Leap entry number nineteen on

411
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: the list. He is, you know, a former West Virginia product,

412
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: the second round pick. You know, the Jets. They wisely

413
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: went out and got him. They nurtured him for two

414
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: years and and Greg says it's gonna pay off now

415
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: because in year three of the Geno Smith experience, he

416
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: will make the leap have become all right, maybe not

417
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl star, but in Greg's estimation, a top

418
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: twenty back end the top twenty quarterback and maybe maybe,

419
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: just maybe that's enough to make the Jets a playoff team.

420
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Is everything I said accurate, Greg, That's true. I'm not

421
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: saying he's going to be a superstar. People have to

422
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: you know. People came at me that, look, this guy

423
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: is never gonna be a pro bowler. That's not the point.

424
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: He can be a guy that is not the reason

425
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: why the Jets lose games. He can be a guy

426
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: who's kind of the middle of the road Alex Smith

427
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: or Andy Dalton type who improves his this as in

428
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: making it's got the talent. I really liked what I

429
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: saw when I watched him in December. He completed less

430
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: than six his passes and back to back seasons. That's

431
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: pretty bad. But Jan Gailey, if anybody's going to be

432
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: able to help him, I guess it would be chan

433
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: Gailey to help maybe with the inconsistent chan Gailey turned

434
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: an offense led by Jade Fieeddler into the number eight

435
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: offense in terms of points scored in the league. He

436
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: got Ryan Fitzpatrick six million dollars. We've talked about Chan

437
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: Gailey and what he's done. I think he runs a

438
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: system that's very similar to what Geno Smith excelled at

439
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: West Virginia, and when you watch you know Smith last December,

440
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: he showed more in that month than Boardles, I think

441
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: or Car did in their entire seasons. Gino Smith shows

442
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: you things. I mean, he can move in the pocket

443
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: very well. I mean he has better pocket movement than

444
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: than a lot of guys who are very good starting quarterbacks,

445
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, guys land moving the pocket, but he moved

446
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: too much in the pocket. I think he's not calmed

447
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: by any stretch when pressure gets on him. That's the

448
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: big when he was protected very well in the last month,

449
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: which is a problem. When I watched Vikings and Jets

450
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: in December, I thought there was a major difference between

451
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater and Gino Smith and feel for the pocket

452
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: and just knowing the position. Teddy Bridgewater seemed more like

453
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: a guy who's going to be a great quarterback than

454
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: Gino Smith. I agree with that. There's no argument to that.

455
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: I think Gino Smith can be a solid quarterback and

456
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: people treat him like he's a punchline, and I think

457
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: if he has a chance to just be a good, valuable,

458
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: mid level starter. If you watch those last four or

459
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: five games he was exactly that level, with the exception

460
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: of the of course, the Week seventeen Dolphins game, where

461
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: he was you know, Joe Montana and Aaron Rodgers combined.

462
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: So you throw that out, but you you look at

463
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: the whole picture, and but why throw it out? Don't

464
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: be unbelievable throws all day. People are like, well, that

465
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: didn't count that you know, the game didn't count. It

466
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: was that doesn't matter. Pay But don't let it suck

467
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: you in. Why not because there's sixteen games and in

468
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve of them he was crap. So yeah,

469
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: he's he's inconsistent. And also the biggest thing with me

470
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: and Gino Smith is he has showed no ability to

471
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: shake off bad performances or bad throws. He lets things

472
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: snowball on him, and that does not work for any quarterback,

473
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: especially in the market he plays in Week eight, guys,

474
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: back to Week eight, actually that was the week he

475
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: was benched for Michael Vick. There were a lot of

476
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: low moments. That was one of the worst performances ever.

477
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about Week seventeen, you got

478
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: to talk about Week eight when he threw three interceptions

479
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: and seven passes and got benched in the first quarter.

480
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: Young quarterbacks sometimes go through these where they reach a low,

481
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: and I think the low for him was the Monday

482
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: night football game where Rex Ryan wouldn't let him pass,

483
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: where he only threw the batment right and they ran

484
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: at forty nine times. And after that he had four

485
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: really good weeks. And then when you said he's been

486
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: in consistent, that's fair, But for that month he was

487
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: wildly consistent. I would say he was very steady. And

488
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: then he had the great final week. He didn't make

489
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: bad decisions. He led the league in yards per attempt

490
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: in December, tied getting physical Hr. In my experience, one

491
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: of the biggest mistakes people making quarterback evaluation with young

492
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: players is expecting a late season improvement to carry over

493
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: to the next season. It rarely happens. In my experience,

494
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: it happened with Gino Smith as a rookie. He played

495
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: pretty well in December and people expected him to make

496
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: a jump and it didn't happen. A lot of it

497
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: for me is the situation with Gaily and a lot

498
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: of talent around him. I mean, that's a good group.

499
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: That's a good group. He's thrown to in a great defense.

500
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: So if they're winning games seventeen, Geno Smith is going

501
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: to get some of the credit. He's shown more talent,

502
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: I think than people think. And that's what I mean.

503
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: He's good arm. He can move in the pocket. If

504
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: he needs to get yards on his feet, he can

505
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: do that. He has the tools. If he goes through

506
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: his reads, he shows things that mature quarterbacks show that

507
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler has never thrown a receiver open in his life.

508
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: He never goes through his reads. Three four. I mean

509
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: Gino Smith kind of sits back there and he does

510
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: the sort of things that you that you would like.

511
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: Kind of a quir How do you think Brandon Marshall

512
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: and him will be together? Well, the roommates, so right

513
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: off the bat jack, I think the first year at

514
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: Randon Marshall is usually a nice little honeymoon period. They're

515
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: riding tandem bicycles together and sharing rowboats in the park.

516
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: You got Eric Decker, you got Jason Morrow, you got

517
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: you got Jeremy Curley. Alright, let's play the over under game.

518
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall. Seventy receptions over over one thousand yards, go

519
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: over over under? Just allright? All right? Six touchdowns. I'll

520
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: take the over, I'll go over. I think they'll feed

521
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: him the ball. That's a nice season, especially for the

522
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: Jets who haven't had a one thousand yard receiver. U. Well,

523
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: they haven't had many in a long time. Brandon marsha

524
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: is supposed to get especially even with Decker across room. Wait,

525
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: didn't we all agree that he's out of the superstar club. Yeah,

526
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: so we shouldn't expect that. I'm just trying to be

527
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: keep things. Yeah, I think I think like a yard

528
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: type of That's all I'm asking for. But I'm also

529
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: asking for Eric Decker to be better. If if those

530
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: two guys have around two thousand yards combined, you throw

531
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: a little curly and Devin Smith does something. Sorry, wasn't

532
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: it was just the hand? His stats in weeks speaking,

533
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: weeks seventeen over two hundred yards receiving and made a

534
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: lot of things look better. But he had some but

535
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: he was torching Brent Grimes and Rashad Jones, Like, why

536
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: doesn't that count? It's a football game. The Dolphins pack

537
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: it in. I don't think so. They were trying to.

538
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: They almost won the game. They made Geno Smith looked

539
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers and Joe Montana. You said pretty bad,

540
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: Gregg says, the Geno Coaster becomes potentially the Geno scale. Wow,

541
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: could that happen next year? Can we talk about Geno

542
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: Smith as the guy that is the primary idiot and

543
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: if that's the case, Chan Gailly gets all the money?

544
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah. I was thinking it was more

545
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: like Gino is going to be like the train that

546
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: your kids ride at, you know, if you ever go

547
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: to Griffith Park for instance, kind of like the little

548
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: train ride kids around in a very steady, little boring

549
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 1: you pay, you get your two dollars worth. Kids are

550
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: happy with him. Nothing to the Dalton train. No that, Gina,

551
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: I thought you were comparing Gino Smith to the band train,

552
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: which also sounded realistic. That seemed like it was a

553
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: fair comparison. I think he makes the leap if he

554
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: survived sixteen games without getting betched exactly. That's my that's

555
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: my praise in the room right now. It's not about

556
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: it's about that that people decide on a player so

557
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: early without I don't think watching him necessarily. They just

558
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: want to say, Okay, Gino Smith the bum. He's a

559
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: punch line in New York, and you know, I don't

560
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: think he's been the best, and that what happens to

561
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in New York. And Fitzpatrick's there too, and

562
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: he's been with Shane Gailly before. So if things do

563
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: go south for Gino, it'll be really easy to bention on.

564
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: One thing that made me a little worried. One of

565
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: our security guards here at the company was a teammate

566
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: of Geno Smiths, and he said, you know, initially at

567
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: West Virginia, Gina Smith kind of came in with I'm

568
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: better than everyone security. He actually came up to me

569
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: after the piece because he said, he read you think

570
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: he's going to do well, but it worried me. He

571
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: said he was a little he was a little overconfident,

572
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: had a little trouble winning the room over first. You're

573
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: on it source exposed, all right, So that's making Leap

580
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: phone finders. I was going through my binders last night,

581
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: actually trying to find weak eate stuff. You Colleen is

582
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: fascinating to me because she has You've told us before,

583
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: you lay in bed at night like devising fake teams,

584
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: and like your mind, you have finders next to your bed.

585
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you are a real football head in your

586
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: own right. It's like a beautiful mind when or like

587
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: the what's the show with them? Like after he goes

588
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: really crazy? Well, yeah, exactly, it's I have maps, I

589
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: have pictures. It's all minority report, is what you thinking? No,

590
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: I like you having some high chech equipment there in

591
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: the world. Is Carmen san Diego. No, that's stuck, that's closed.

592
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: I like this revelation. I don't feel so weird now.

593
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: And I'm actually I'm trying to go digital and get

594
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: away from the binders, but I can. I'm having a

595
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: hard time with millennials refusing to go digital. Total millennial move.

596
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: All right, So that's it making the leap. Keep reading

597
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: him all a lot of great work, and and Gregg's

598
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: around the NFL debut really good work. So we move forward.

599
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: All right, so let's do We talked about this last year.

600
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure we got everything right, So let's let's do

601
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: it again. Let's nail it. Who is not a contender

602
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl? And the shadowy League figures.

603
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: You know, this is not the type of segment that

604
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: they want us to do because you want all the

605
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: fans to have hope that you're gonna win a Lombardi Trophy.

606
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: You want to be the ninety nine Rams, you want

607
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: to be the two thousand one Patriots. But it's not

608
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen for these teams, is it, Greg. That's that's

609
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: what we're here to do, squash some hope. So why

610
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: don't we just go through the divisions one by one

611
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: and uh and and rule out And I think we

612
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: should set some ground rules. If you think the team

613
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: can make the playoffs, and maybe the Bengals are an

614
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: outlier or west in your case, you can't say that

615
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: they have no chance because them there in the dance

616
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: totally disagree with you. There's a major difference between being

617
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: a playoff contenter and a Super Bowl contenter. You get

618
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: exposed in the playoffs if your quarterback isn't good enough.

619
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: No chance saying that a chance. To me, this is

620
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: more ab disagree. This is more about teams that have

621
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: no chance that it would be absolutely stunning if they

622
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: even made the playoffs and they have no change, Well,

623
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: then we have to call it something else. You know,

624
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: we did the same thing last year and you didn't

625
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: have a problem with it. I don't call this, but

626
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: there's a difference by the way. It was Homeland what

627
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: I was thinking about earlier, and I think it's really

628
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: about being a contender at all, being a contender for anything.

629
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: All Right, West clearly about to undermine the segment, but

630
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep rawling. West. Are the New England Patriots

631
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: a contender? Yes, they can win a Super Bowl? Dan.

632
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: Can the Buffalo Bills win a Super Bowl? No? They

633
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback? All right, I agree with West.

634
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they're making the playoffs because I think

635
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback is gonna bury them. I think they could

636
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Are changed. My answer what you said,

637
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: can they win the super Bowl? Then us these guys.

638
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: Can they win the playoffs? Can they enter the No? No,

639
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: I misspoke, can they win the super Bowl? I don't

640
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: think the Bills will make the playoffs? Is this Are

641
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: they a contender or are they a super Bowl contector?

642
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 1: You're the only one that's not settled. Greg just said,

643
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna do Are they a playoff contender? Well, to me,

644
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: it's one and the same because if they think they're

645
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: totally different there in the can this team win the

646
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: super Bowl? Is the segment? Okay, can the Bills win

647
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Wolf? Greg? Alright, this has to be unanimous. Yeah,

648
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Can they win the Super Bowl? No,

649
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: they have to say you have no chance whatsoever to

650
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. I don't. I think they have

651
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: a chance if Tannehill turns into a star. Sure. I

652
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: like to live in a world where just unpredictable things happen,

653
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: because because it happens every year, maybe not lately in

654
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'd love for the Bills to win the

655
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Sorry and going back to that, but you'd

656
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: love for them. You wish they would. But do you

657
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: think it's even a possibility. To me, this is an

658
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: exercise and picking and picking the worst of the worst

659
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: and the teams that really have no hope. That's what

660
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: we should call it. Alright, So the Raiders they're so

661
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: this is not who is not a contender? This is

662
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: who has no hope? Is that better? I just think

663
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: we should define our parameters. Is that so wrong? All right?

664
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 1: Who has no hope? The Cleveland Browns? Yes? Or no hope?

665
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: Like a reverse of the A D skill wherever? Doesn't

666
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: it interesting? And I get it? But I think we

667
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: should have a definition. So we think the entire of

668
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: me understanding the A D scale last June and then

669
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: not understanding at this June. No hope for the Browns? No?

670
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: I think? Do we agree that there's no hope for

671
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: the Browns to win the Super Bowl in two thousand fifteen? Alright? Good, alright,

672
00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: the Browns, that's one. The Ravens bangles or there's no West?

673
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any hope at all that the

674
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: Bengals go in the super Bowl? What do you guys think?

675
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any hope that they can get

676
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: past the first round of the playoffs. Now this is

677
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: one It's it's an interesting situation that West brings up.

678
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: I think this is one team. He's right, of course,

679
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: they have enough talent to make the playoffs. But I'm

680
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: not living in any world where any Adalton wins the

681
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. We used to literally, well we were wrong then. Also,

682
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: they have a really tough schedule this year. Division no hope, alright, Bengals,

683
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: no hope. The Colts they have hope. The Houston Texans, No,

684
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't like that quarterback situation. I don't think they

685
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: have any hope. No Texans, no hope. Jaguars and Titans

686
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: not ready yet, right, No, they're at least a year

687
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: away from being in the conversation, I would say, I

688
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: think the Texans have what's the most dangerous thing, which

689
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: is too much hope. That's when people are get in

690
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: big trouble there. I don't think they're ready to go

691
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: to the next level when they're really closer to that

692
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: five or six win level. Yeah, they're closer to falling

693
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: off because the schedules a lot harder. Maybe Ryan Mallett

694
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: is going to be amazing. Everything lines up for them.

695
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if he even played a suddenly west

696
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: such a believer in Hoyer that he can keep the

697
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: job all season long. No, I mean, I think Mallett

698
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: will play at some point, but I don't I mean

699
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: he won't. I don't think he'll start the season. Yeah, alright,

700
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: So in the a f C West, the Broncos obviously

701
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: the Raiders will add on this list. We have to

702
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 1: write the Chargers in Chiefs two interesting teams for this.

703
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: Can the charge it? There's some hope with the Philip

704
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: Rivers involved, right, although he's never got Philip Rivers that

705
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: quarterback and some talent on defense which they do. If

706
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 1: everything came together, they have a chance. Melvin Gordon helps

707
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: out Philip Rivers, so hopefully Green like the Chargers. Yeah,

708
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: all right, how about the Chiefs. I can't do that.

709
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are not gonna win the Super Bowler share.

710
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that just adding Jeremy Macklin, having that

711
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: him and Andy Reid back together, that's not going to

712
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: solve Alex Smith not being able to get any offense

713
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: sparks for them. I'll allow the chief in what way

714
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: they can. They could happen. So you're blocking him, you're

715
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: doing a block Hope, and he doesn't know how to

716
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: run the ball, and he has Jamal Charles and he's

717
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: terrible clock management. I can't believe I'm sticking up for

718
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: the Chiefs because I can't stand watching them. I think

719
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: they're incredibly boring, and they're not nearly as good as

720
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: a guy like Damnaschik says every year they are. But

721
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, look at the game he had against Andrew

722
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: Luck in the playoffs a couple of years. He was

723
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: phenomenal in that game Andrew Andy Reid. I feel like

724
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: it's going to have the most underwhelming, like improved tenure

725
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: that a coach can have and can't. Like, he absolutely

726
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: took a situation that was terrible, improved them immediately. They're

727
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: staying improved. And yet is this, you know, is it

728
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: really that exciting that he was like watching paint dry.

729
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: It's really boring. They're incredibly boring. Any he's proven he

730
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: can win ten eleven games as a coach. Yes, he's

731
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: pretty good at that. I mean like the Marvin Lewis

732
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: of the He's like a much better version of Marvin Lewis. Yeah,

733
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: let's move to the NFC East where the Cowboys and Eagles.

734
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: I think we both agree, there's we all agree there's

735
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: some chance, right, Yes, Okay, how about the Giants of

736
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: New York. I've already seen it happen. I'm gonna say, yeah, yeah,

737
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't believe. We know, we know, you know they

738
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 1: can win. You I can Beckham Jr. Different team, hate

739
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: that you haven't call it? Hey, that just does that

740
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: blown over weak like it was a sign of mental weakness.

741
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: I think that that doesn't mean that that's who he's

742
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: doomed to be forever. But it sounds like you guys

743
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: made up. I haven't reached out to him. Steve Smith

744
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: changed the locks on his penthouse. We could have the

745
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: Redskins on this list, right, hope, No hope at all, Sorry, guys,

746
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: NFC North. The Packers, obviously they're fine having the Lions.

747
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: I think they have hope. They have hope, absolutely, I'm

748
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: going with history. They're over no hope. I'm not really

749
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 1: into it. That job out of a playoff wind last year.

750
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: You know, they could have been in the super Bowl.

751
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: I just don't think that they can completely rely on

752
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford either. And they have joyke Bell, who's coming

753
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: off what Achilles and right, So if he is, that's good,

754
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: but they need something, They need some type of running

755
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: game because they can't just rely on him. I had

756
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: faith it would be it would be stunning if they

757
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: won the super Bowl with Matthew Stafford and Jim Caldwell

758
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: as their coach. But like they have enough talent and

759
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: they have a top rank defense from a year ago

760
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: and they have a quarterback? Is it crazier than the

761
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve ray evens was that the year

762
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: they won? But that top ranked defense too? And fairly

763
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: are both gone? Yeah, all right, now go ahead, you

764
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 1: got it. That's that's all. Do you have this story

765
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: like TD had before? Well? I know the story. Here's

766
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: what I want you guys to be careful with because

767
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: I think they have some team of around the NFL buzz,

768
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: which is all all good, but can they actually you know,

769
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: when the Super Bowl? I don't know. But this is

770
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: about who has hope or who doesn't have hope? I

771
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: don't know anymore. The Minnesota Vikings. We love the Vikings

772
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: around here. It seems like I would not rule them out.

773
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule them out. There's hope I put them

774
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: in there. You got Mike Zimmer, Maybe that could be

775
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: a top five defense with Adrian petersonskey on quarterback. I

776
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: like Trey Wiens. They added with Xavier Rhodes. A lot

777
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: of good stuff about Michael Kendricks brother who Er and

778
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: Eric Kendricks is going to be a three down starter.

779
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: I uh, I don't like all the buzz though for them.

780
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: That is making me recoil from them as a potential.

781
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: They got that team of a T and heat. I

782
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: would call them the early not favorite, but they're in

783
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: the mix. I feel like, yeah, yeah, you know they're

784
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: in the mix, alright. The Bears obviously we could put

785
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: on this list right all right? How about anybody in

786
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: the NFC South? The Panthers is their hope to win

787
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: your bow? The Saints, m M. I think any team

788
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: with a top ten quarterback, and I'd put Newton, Breeze

789
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: and Ryan and that. I don't think the Falcons have

790
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: a chance. No, their offensive line in their defense are

791
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: still a mess. Yeah, I don't think so either. I'm

792
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna say they have a chance. If the

793
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: Lions have a chance, that Falcons have a How are

794
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: they even comparable the Lions have? The Lions have a

795
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: much more talented roster. I don't know if you ever

796
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: saw Tony Sperano when he buried the ball, but you

797
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: need to. You need to are the two thousand fourteen

798
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: that seasons over. This is a new season. You never know.

799
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: We're talking about roster composition, right, but it's a fifty

800
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: three man thing. You get a couple of lucky bounces,

801
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: you got the key coming. Why not just put the

802
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: Daghars in? Well, that's just crazy. I just feel like

803
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: the Falcons can never get over that hump. And they

804
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 1: have these great players. They have Julio there and Matt

805
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: Ryan's good for them. They only have like four or

806
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: five good players in the whole roster. Yeah, giving them

807
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: put the Bucks on this list, right, no chan, no hope?

808
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: All right? In the NFC West, Uh is there anyone?

809
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 1: The only one that I'll even bring up is the Rams.

810
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,720
Speaker 1: The Rams have any hope at all in the Super Bowl?

811
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: I think they can be a playoff team. So yeah,

812
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think that they probably have

813
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: the worst offense in the NFL based on the teams

814
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: we've put in. For having some hope, I think I'm

815
00:43:53,840 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: throwing the Rams in there. Got to mention. Uh oh yeah, sorry,

816
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm used to them being good for so long. I

817
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: forgot that they deserves I would put the Rams in

818
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: before I put the I wouldn't. They're coming out of

819
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: the NFC West one of those things. No, what yeah, yeah,

820
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: I can't say the Niners have hope. Wow, what a

821
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: turn of events in Studio sixty six. All right, let's

822
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: we'll read it off now again. This is it. These

823
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 1: teams have no chance to winning the Super Bowl? Uh

824
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: t D. Can we get any type of I don't know,

825
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: maybe some doom or a little taps or anything funeral esque.

826
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns, listen, Tocinnati, Bengals, the Houston Texans, the Jaguars, Titans, Raiders, Redskins, Bars, Books,

827
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: Artie Joiners. You've got no holp. It's shocking that the

828
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: Bengals are on that. But the foul that's ten the

829
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: doomed to tend. I think the only team on that

830
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: list that can be happy are Titans fans. They got

831
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: their name back. They did, they got it back. They

832
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: don't got hope. They're no longer much other watch the

833
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: Titans than the Chiefs. All Right, we'll never speak of

834
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 1: that segment again. Moving on now, let's get Kevin Patrick

835
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: on the line. Kevin Patrick coming at you. He was

836
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: at the or is he still there? As he hold now,

837
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: he's at the simpose that the rookie mc gregg just

838
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: leaving him there, just having him getting all that info.

839
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: Clearly hasn't read a thing from Patrick that's not true.

840
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: All this stuff has been excellent. He's been all over it.

841
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: Kevin is at the Rookie Symposium, has been traveling across

842
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: the Midwest with the rookies, according to Greg And let's

843
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 1: get him on the line. Patrick, are you there? Going on? Fellas?

844
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: There he is. Listen to that voice. It's great to

845
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: have you back on the show, Kevin Patrick, coming at you.

846
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: What is the middle of Ohio like this time of year?

847
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm standing in a light mist right now so I

848
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: can get self service outside nice. It literally is the

849
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,959
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere. I looked on uber Um last night

850
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: and the closest uber was thirty four minutes away. Wow,

851
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: how are you getting to the gym? He's doing? He's

852
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: doing like the hot guy in the hotel move where

853
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: you like, Jimmy's up some type of pull up bar

854
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: and then just goes to town for hours. You do

855
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: it on the door, man, You got to pull up

856
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: on the door. There you go, and you turn up

857
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: the heat to ninety. Hey, I was thinking of you,

858
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: by the way, I was watching The True Detective season

859
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: two premiere and and spoiler, Colin Farrell the detective is

860
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: a little dirty, and to get even he puts on

861
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: some brass knuckles and delivers the knuckle sandwich. And I

862
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: couldn't help but think of you. Do you have brass knuckles? Yes?

863
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: Or no? I do not. I don't play dirty. Um

864
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: tucks no nuck. Alright, getting into any verbal conversations with

865
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: any of these rookie this week verbal confrontation, I have

866
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: a conversation. Yeah, let's use that word. I got in

867
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: a few conversations. Actually, when when I got here, I

868
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: was thinking of this symposium is about, you know, I'm

869
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: supposed to be professional learning professionalism in your life and work.

870
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: And I was thinking, one of you if that was

871
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: a subtle hint from Greg three that I really wanted

872
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: Kevin to go to all the classes of like how

873
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: to take care of your money, um, you know, how

874
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: to be responsible, you know, get a driver. Really it

875
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: might be good for the entire around the NFL crew

876
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: to not be the worst thing in the world. Can

877
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: you have a around the NFL symposium? I I went

878
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: voluntarily signed up. Patrick, So you've kind of been trailing

879
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: these guys. Is there anything you've seen, whether it just

880
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: be like you know, something that they did, or watching

881
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: someone speak with someone else in the media that you

882
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: spoke with him that kind of surprised you. Um well,

883
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: I think the one thing I've noticed that this whole

884
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 1: thing is kind of like a professional version of Scared Straight.

885
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: So they've got a lot of good guys like you know,

886
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,919
Speaker 1: Worke Dumbs in there. Today, Steel Moore had a great

887
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: story about one time he almost slipped out and left

888
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: the team, and they're just kind of like telling him like,

889
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: this is real life. Now, it's not it's not playtime.

890
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: And I thought it was all really interesting and trying

891
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: to get these guys to think about, like with things

892
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: that could go bad, like the parties now over. This

893
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,919
Speaker 1: is real and and it's been really interesting. And from

894
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: that perspective, that sounds like a post CEO Morow must

895
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: quit football. You know, it's the middle of June. That

896
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 1: was a that was a that was a bare minimum.

897
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much more to to his story.

898
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: That's fascinating. Who was the guy because in those Scared Straight,

899
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: there's always one Scared Straight guy that that stands apart

900
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: from the rest. I know, Chris Carter has been doing

901
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: this for a while now, who delivered kind of the

902
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: strongest message where it appeared like it really got through

903
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: to the kiddos. Well, I think Chris Carter probably was

904
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: that guy. I mean, he always kind of captures the audience,

905
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: especially young kids who grew up watching him. I mean,

906
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: we gotta think these guys are year old. So they

907
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: mean when it would first be just a moderator talking

908
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: about like a circumstance, they kind of pushed back. But

909
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: then when you had these professional, you know, former pros

910
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: up there talking about our current pros. Brandon Marshall was

911
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: here as well, they kind of like you kind of

912
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,959
Speaker 1: got to like, oh it's real, Like you traveled around

913
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: with him at the Hall of Fame. What was what

914
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: was that like that day where it was just kind

915
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: of like Kevin Patra was almost a member of the

916
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: class in two thousand and fifteen here. I don't I

917
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: don't know about all that, but you know it was

918
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: it was interesting to see them interact with like, you know,

919
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: things that they would have not seen I haven't seen.

920
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 1: I just realized that Marcus Mariotta reminded me of Professor

921
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: the whole time white. This guy in the group, you know,

922
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: I had his backpack at one point getting some paperwork.

923
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: They had some b roll type thing and he to me,

924
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: he looked like, you know, the soft spoken college sophomore

925
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: going to the eight am class. That doesn't necessarily mean anything,

926
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: but not that doesn't strike you as a like a

927
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: star when you look at him. No, but here what

928
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 1: my my point. We've been talking to some guys this week.

929
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: You know that are more you know they are that

930
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: are louder I for for me with Mario's that's who

931
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: he is, and that's perfectly fine. That's who I want

932
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: to if you're if you're that guy in camera, you're

933
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: that guy in the rest of your life, that's perfectly

934
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: fine because that's who you are when the spotlight shows,

935
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: you are who you are. So if he's a calm,

936
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: demere that he's going to be in the pocket, that's fine.

937
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: If he's that everywhere else in life, as long as

938
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: you're not a phony, that's cool by me. Who did

939
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: you like the most that you that you talked with?

940
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: I still like Shane Ray that's that's my guy. From

941
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: some since the draft to now, I still think he's

942
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: he's honest, he's taking everything on. He's not afraid to

943
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: say anything. And like I said, that's who he is.

944
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: So I don't need I don't need. I don't feel

945
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: like he's flying or faking his way through anything. And

946
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: I respect that. Patra always a straight shooter. That's his

947
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: whole thing. Ain't no bs when Kevin pattes around? Uh,

948
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: when are you? When are you getting back to Chicago?

949
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: By the way, um tomorrow night? All right, Well you

950
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: have a safe journey, and you know, get back into

951
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: the gym. You know, you gotta be in that routine

952
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: to keep up what's going on under that true true? Alright, good,

953
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: all right, buddy, thank you very much for taking some

954
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: time to talk to us. There he is heaven, Patrick

955
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: coming at you from What's so funny it was he

956
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: was so earnest about it. He is, he's you know,

957
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: that's Patra. He's he's the straightest shooter. You know, I

958
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: think of the group. You just what you see is

959
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,760
Speaker 1: what you get, and he's going to deliver some earnest

960
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: Midwest heat. You sound condescending when you're saying why I

961
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: was so shocked at all when I met him, because

962
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: I really thought he was going to be this big

963
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: like he is Colleen ra kind of guy. Not at all.

964
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: He's not Nitro from American Gladiator. Yeah, he had like

965
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: glasses on. Yeah, I think we were all even, you know,

966
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: those of us who hadn't met and no Kevin beat

967
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: we're all a little taken it back when Dan first

968
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: started talking about his body publicly and privately. Have you

969
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: didn't quite understand? Have you ever heard of Clark Kent? Yes,

970
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: that's who you met. Oh, that would be alright. Finally

971
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: we have one more around the NFL correspondent to get

972
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 1: on the horn. And you know, again, this is a

973
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:16,919
Speaker 1: new segment. It's a segment that allows Connor or an opportunity,

974
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: affords him an opportunity to publicly air a grievance. Really,

975
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: it's therapeutic for him, it's really. Yes, it's entertaining for

976
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: us and hopefully the listeners, but it's also as Greg

977
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure sure I would agree with, it's good for

978
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: his writing to get out this anger and then he

979
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: can go about his day to day business. Everyone, Yeah,

980
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: it's everyone has to get their complaints out before they

981
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: can just freshly write another story about Jamis Winston. Right, So,

982
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: that is why we have introduced the segment and we're

983
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: bringing it back. It is or you kidding me? Conna?

984
00:52:55,480 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: Are you there, buddy? What's going on there? He is

985
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: now Connor on vacation last week. You don't know if

986
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to bring the same fire. Of

987
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: course he was taking shots at Ray Romanto in the

988
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: inaugural Or are you kidding me? But this time around Connor? Um,

989
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think you have a different message to impart. Yeah,

990
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think before I went on vacation, a

991
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 1: friend of mine invited me up to Manhattan to hang out.

992
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: And they said, first they said that they were on

993
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: the Lower East Side. Uh and then they said that

994
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: we'd be going somewhere in the meatpacking district. And uh

995
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: So I just didn't go. You just didn't go, no,

996
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: because you know, it's just like do I compass like

997
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: when I go there, Like I just you know, you

998
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: tell me like I'm at the owner of you know

999
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: kind of you know the rules when you when the

1000
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: guitar squealing, there's no squealing from you. You You gotta let

1001
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: it out. It's just so surity like it brought it

1002
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: all back. I was just so so wait, your Your

1003
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: problem here is you don't like um, you don't like

1004
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: information about neighborhoods. You don't like neighborhoods to be named.

1005
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: You just would rather have it be all just Manhattan.

1006
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: You created a city on a grid system, right, and

1007
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you just expect us like

1008
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: I just learned that, Like it took me like five

1009
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: years to learn that, and now I gotta learn like

1010
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: something else that. I just don't think that's you're changing

1011
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: the rule the big apple more like big foul pole,

1012
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,919
Speaker 1: uh any anything else? So you okay, it's very clear

1013
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: that you're saying it's self important of Manhattan. This coming

1014
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: from a New Jersey guy to name its areas things

1015
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: like Greenwich Village and Village and the Upper West Side

1016
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: or oh, Hell's Kitchen, I guess would be what you're

1017
00:54:54,960 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: referring to. No, Yeah, although problem with the grid system, right,

1018
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: The grid systems great. You know exactly where to go

1019
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: at The grid system is like the Kevin Patra of systems, straightforward.

1020
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: So it is it's like, uh, like the comedian Kevin

1021
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: James always had this thing about phone number rhythm. When

1022
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: you gave out a phone number, it was just bump bump,

1023
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: h bump up. And that's what you should do if

1024
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: you have if you live in New York. It's just

1025
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: and I don't even know where he's going with this now.

1026
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: So although Connor, you made it smart, I don't think

1027
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: you would like the meatpacking district. A lot of douchy

1028
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: bros there. Imagine dropping off West and the meat packing district.

1029
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what the more tee than six? Just

1030
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: drop them off right there? What? Who? Who am I

1031
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 1: dealing with? Collared shirts and seventeen dollar Gin and Tonics.

1032
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: It sounds like hell exactly, sounds like Las Vegas? Yeah, Connor,

1033
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: what what's this thing about you? You refused to use

1034
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: a compass? Well, you know what, like the Lower east Side?

1035
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,919
Speaker 1: How do I know where that is? All right? Fair enough,

1036
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: all right, that's a good way to end it. Uh, Connor,

1037
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: anti self important names, anti compass, pro grid and uh.

1038
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,399
Speaker 1: And of course you gotta tag it now with your

1039
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: question Connor, or are you kidding me? All Right? That's it?

1040
