10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: say hello anymore like the drop of salutations. If you

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: could hold your greeting. We have an old y on tape.

Speaker 1: What's up, Lindsay? Hi, how are you? Thanks for coming

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: don't know that was Is there something I don't know

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: about the now? That's why I liked it. I had

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: no backs slory to that, but it just seems well,

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we've filed, we've threatened to file multiple complaints

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: against Gregg specifically, so there is some familiarity. It is

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: it is a money drop that perhaps paints us in

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: an unflattering uh light, and some of us creepsters, which

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't do. You get that vibe. She's right when

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right. This is the Tuesday edition of

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL podcast, sponsored of course. I mean

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: this is a big time Lindsey Scott Trade, a good

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: friend of ours, sponsoring the podcast All Your you know.

27
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: Whenever you need to make an investment, you go to Scott.

28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: I think that that's the best way to sell a product,

29
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: is if you say all your you know. By the way,

30
00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: show has already given me a note on that you

31
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: gotta sell a little harder. But I'm I'm learning. I'm

32
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: learning about this quote unquote financial world. Well but help

33
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: if they gave you some tools to get involved in

34
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: the financial world with Yeah, I don't have anything to invest,

35
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: so I never. But it shows what a part investment

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: company they are to be investing in US. Yes, you

37
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They're watching too, because they're buying

38
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: low right now and this this stock is soaring. There

39
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: looks a meeting where they were they watched one of

40
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: our videos that did not have Scott Trade in the background,

41
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: and there was concern I believe directly from Scott Trade,

42
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: the company. Why is our name not on this video? Well,

43
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: it was one of these now hits and I had

44
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: to clear it up with the sales department this morning,

45
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: something I didn't even have to tell Greg about. And

46
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: doing some work behind the scenes stuff. You know, m

47
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: v P coin coming. If you follow the stock market

48
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: at all, it's been very up and down. Some people

49
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: are nervous what it does if you read between the lines.

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: Any time of stock dives downward, it's when we don't

51
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: do a podcast. I was wondering where and if you

52
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: were doing legitimate stock analysis. I was like, please don't

53
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: do that on this podcast. So Scott Trade, thank you

54
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: for sponsoring us, believing in us when no one else would.

55
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: But today's show is gonna be a good one. I'm

56
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: excited about today's show because not only because Lens is here,

57
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: but also because some news to get to the coaching

58
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: searches are over all seven vacancies have been filled. Uh

59
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: so we'll talk about the last two in Philly and

60
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: in Nashville. UM, some other league news. Of course, Championship

61
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Sunday coming up. So over the next two shows we

62
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: will begin to really dig into that and we will

63
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: talk about Brady Manning seventeen now, Lindsay, I'm sure you're not,

64
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: whether you want us to or not. What we'll try

65
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: to do is bring, you know, a unique take, something different,

66
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: a little nuance, look at it from a perspective. Absolutely, Chris.

67
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: And also, we're gonna do something we haven't done it

68
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: in a while. We're gonna open up the mailbag. Mhmm,

69
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: yeah about that. I'm excited. So there's the show today?

70
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Are you doing lat Seed behind the Glass? It's doing great?

71
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: So how's everybody else? We're fine? Wouldn't be better? It's fine.

72
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: I'm a little under the weather. I'm powering through. You've

73
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: been bowering through for a couple of months now, I

74
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: feel like I mean because yeah, I have been. I

75
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: have been. I'm trying to shake this. How did I

76
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: get seated next to him? That is a fair question.

77
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: We'll be backing band makes all seating chases. I'll leave

78
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: it at that exactly. That's where the HR stuff comes in. Um, so, hey,

79
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: why don't we do some news Sydney sang Bull, who

80
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: asked that one guy was oh yeah, that was awesome. Yes,

81
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: not ready for that? Mike Malarkey, against all odds, has

82
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: lost the interim tag and is now the Tennessee Titans

83
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: head coach. Uh this after a two and seven finish

84
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: after replacing Ken wizzen Hunt. He was introduced on Monday.

85
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: Uh he believed. I believe he made a comment that,

86
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's time for a fresh start, but a

87
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: lot of criticism guys come in Tennessee's way. We call

88
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: him the tit tuons because you know, they don't necessarily

89
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: deserve to be analyzed the rest of we do with

90
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: the thirty one other teams because they're so boring and

91
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: they always seem to make bad choices. And guess what, lindsay,

92
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: this feels like a shaky choice by Tennessee. It does

93
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: seem surprising that they had a list of a hundred

94
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: fifty five names that they were going to take a

95
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: look at and the one they ended up with was

96
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: the person who already had an office down the hall.

97
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, that's how love works sometimes. So you're

98
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: defending this higher I'm not. I'm just saying that, I'm

99
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: not saying that you were actually openly discussed it as

100
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: you were watching the press conference on Monday, just be

101
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: honest about the situation. Wasn't an assignment I was itching for,

102
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: but uh, it was an overly long press conference where

103
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: what what got me upset was at one point Steve Underwood,

104
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: I believe the president's CEO was an amazing mustache, and yeah,

105
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: no he looks. He's very impressive looking from a certain

106
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: point of view. But at one point, the beat writers,

107
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: who I don't think this is a hard hitting group

108
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: of beat writers for the most part, and down in

109
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee group hardly a group. It's not Philadelphia, but they

110
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: were coming Adam saying, hold on, you keep telling us

111
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: about this search and all, how thorough you were. And

112
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: you just as you said, Lendsy, you came back to

113
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: the guy that bottomed out as an interim coach to

114
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: finish the season, how do you explain to the frustrated fans?

115
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: And he was RESPONSI was, oh, I didn't even know

116
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: the fans were frustrated. I don't know why they would

117
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: be frustrated. It's just a complete lead, deep disconnect with

118
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: a fan base at this point is getting no attention

119
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: from the team making its decisions. Well, Mike Mularkey is

120
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: not an inspiring head coach. At no point, even when

121
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: he's a coordinator, can you really point to this is

122
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: what Mike Mullarkey accomplished, This is where he was innovative.

123
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: And I was really struck when they asked him about

124
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: developing quarterbacks and all he talked about was Cordell Stewart

125
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: and Tommy Maddox. And I'm thinking that's fifteen years ago,

126
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: first of all. Second of all, No, I mean, I

127
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: guess what he was saying was they maximize Cordell's abilities

128
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: one year and then they switched to Tommy Maddox. But

129
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: that's the thing I always look for, coach, what are

130
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: you bringing to the table if nothing else. Chip Kelly,

131
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: for instance, is bringing to the table a guy who

132
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: had a top five scoring offense with Mark Sanchez and

133
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. Malarkey, he's not an inspiring public figure. He's

134
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: been in the building. He's been a head coach a

135
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: couple of times before. He is eighteen and thirty nine

136
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: as a head coach. The most noteworthy thing he ever

137
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: did as a head coach was walk away from a

138
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: job in Buffalo. The second most noteworthy thing he ever

139
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: did was lose in week seventeen as the coach of

140
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: the Bills against the Steelers backups when with a playoff

141
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: spot on the line. It was one of the all

142
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: time chokes of the last twenty years. You want to

143
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: talk about pain rankings and painful losses. You played against

144
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: backups when you were trying to get to the playoffs

145
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: and they lost. And that's basically the last time Malarkey

146
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: had a halfway decent season. Let's look at the most

147
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: recent sample size, and this is an pile on Mike

148
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: Malarkey day, although it feels like it. It's like if

149
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: you watch of those Titans games, there were business decisions

150
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: all over the field. Those guys didn't look like they

151
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: were playing are usually an interim coach usually doesn't keep

152
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 1: the job. I feel like in most cases, if you

153
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: looked at the numbers, and he certainly didn't look like

154
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: he was gonna keep the job. The way they finished,

155
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: they played uninspired football. So that made it even more

156
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: stunning that it seemed like they just zeroed in. And

157
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: it makes you think there's something else cooking and an

158
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: unsettled ownership situation, the whole franchises in flux that they

159
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: made this and he becomes the new Jim Tomsula of

160
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen and then is sent to the well.

161
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: There's a handful of teams that have a new GM

162
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: that kept a coach around or went out and hired

163
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: a very familiar face like Malarkey, and those, to me

164
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: are the prime candidates for a one and done situation,

165
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: because if it's not going well, that new hand picked

166
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: GM is gonna want to pick the guy that he

167
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: wants himself, that he knows, not the guy he inherited.

168
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: Wasn't this the guy who helped back the Falcons offense

169
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: with Julio Jones, Roddy White and Matt Ryan until they

170
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: hired Dirk Cutter to kind of bring out what they could. Yes,

171
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean this is I was trying to think, what's

172
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: the opposite of inspired? But fortunately the English language gives

173
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: us prefixes like uninspired was taking shots at English. I

174
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that they just didn't wait to Why

175
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: Why did they rush to hire him instead of waiting

176
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: until the playoffs were done and at least going through

177
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: the motions of talking to somebody like Josh McDaniels, Matt

178
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Patricia and making it look like you really have covered

179
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: all your bases and McDaniels reportedly on our network was

180
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: very interested in the Titans job because you have Marcus Mariotte.

181
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: That's the thing is you feel bad, uh for Mariota,

182
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: and you feel bad for the fan base because here's

183
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: an opening press conference where you should have some hope,

184
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: and instead it's Mike Malarkey really just insisting it's not

185
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: the same old from last year. That was one of

186
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: the codes. And you're also having questions to the ownership

187
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: saying oh that in admitting that the commissioner Roger Goodell

188
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: has mentioned that the league is not happy with some

189
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: things about their ownership structure, which is very confusing. And

190
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: there's seventy five layers of leadership, and and then you

191
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: also have Ian Rappaport, and then admitting during the press

192
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: conference the GM was hired essentially before he had any

193
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: choice to make a choice in the head coach. The

194
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: ownership had decided basically, if you're gonna get this job,

195
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: you have to take Mike Malarkey as your head coach.

196
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: They had organizations do not give their fan bases hope.

197
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: That's the easiest to me. If you want a spot

198
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: a bad organization, do you give your fans hope, and

199
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: the Titans haven't for three years. The Eagles do not

200
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: have a super Bowl title in their history, but there's

201
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: hope in Philly, and it seems like Jeff Low he

202
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: runs a ship that you can get behind a little bit.

203
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: And he made the decision to hire Doug Peterson, the

204
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: former Chief's offensive coordinator. He Peterson was announced uh in

205
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: a press conference by the team or introduced in the

206
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: press conference by the team on Tuesday, um and uh

207
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: so Peterson is the guy. Of course, the Philly media

208
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: greg immediately uh seized upon some of the time management

209
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: issues in the playoff loss to the Pats because they

210
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: can't think of Andy Reid. They they always think of

211
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: read obviously in Philly. So Peterson's there, but right away,

212
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: you see he's gonna have an uphill battle in that market.

213
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: Right there's not gonna be a huge honeymoon period because

214
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's been with the organization before

215
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: and it feels like a return to Andy Reid. And

216
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: I did an article on the website, you know, ranking

217
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: the coaching hrens when I found out that Doug Peterson

218
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: was the guy. The only calls he's ever putt He's

219
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: ever made as a pro in the pros is the

220
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs two minutes situations and situational football and West We've

221
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: talked about on the podcast. They're one of the worst

222
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: two minute UH teams in the NFL, and that knock

223
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: them down spot. I decided to knock him down a

224
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: spot for that five minute death march that the Chiefs

225
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: had because it speaks to his philosophy. And he also

226
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: told Jenny Brentis of the m m QB a few

227
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago that Alex Smith is what he looks for

228
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: exactly in a quarterback in the NFL. That's what he wants.

229
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: Somebody can run the West Coast offense. Didn't Can dunked

230
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. That doesn't really inspire the

231
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: fan base. Yeah, but this is the total situation where

232
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles ownership went out and tried to get the

233
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: super super like hot person to date, but they were

234
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: a wild nightmare to deal with. And so it's the

235
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: bounce back where you go and get the very safe, secure,

236
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: probably the next door neighbor that you didn't realize till

237
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,359
Speaker 1: about a month ago. Oh wait, they're kind of amazing,

238
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: Like I'm into that next door neighbor and Doug Peterson.

239
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: Brian Billick compared it to having a midlife crisis. But ironically,

240
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: you believe that Doug Peterson is immediately one of the

241
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: hottest NFL coaches in terms of his looks. Sure, that's

242
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: what Mark was saying. He was ranking him high. I'm

243
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: not gonna leave Bark hanging on this. I think Peterson

244
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: immediately vaults into the top ten and maybe the top five.

245
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: That hair is a problem. He looks like a backup

246
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: singer for George Jones and Conway Twittery about to go

247
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: into the hall. It sounds like we're being really critical

248
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: of Peterson. We have no idea. There's just no way

249
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: to know how Peterson is gonna be like he He

250
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: seemed like he has a good command of the room

251
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: and that that sort of thing. He hired Jim Schwartz

252
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: as defensive coordinator, which I think is a huge get

253
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: that has been He's been a good defensive coordinator and

254
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to. We know Doug Peterson not gonna

255
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: be running a defense, so that's gonna be a big

256
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: help to him to have Schworts. There a lot of

257
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: talent on that defense. He spoke highly of DeMarco Murray,

258
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: which was obvious. And I know he's under contract guaranteed

259
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: money next year that they'll probably try to make it

260
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: work again with Murray or that might be the plan

261
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: as of right now. And he also spoke highly of

262
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford. If you're looking for clues about what their

263
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: team's gonna look like, here's a direct quote. I think

264
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: Sam's a quality quarterback. No, no, doug double down. Okay, dude,

265
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: I think he's a top notch quarterback. Look at what

266
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: he did in the last half of the season, the

267
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: numbers he was able to put up. He's a quarterback

268
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: that would fit perfectly into into the system. I'm gonna

269
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: bring that. Did I miss Bradford having a great second half? Well,

270
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: he's the guy that is. They're They're not going to,

271
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, burn any Bridges. That doesn't. Chase Daniel, who

272
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: tweeted a very nice things about it's he knows Peterson's offense.

273
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: Andy Reid brought Peterson in because he knew Read's offense

274
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: figured there might be some carry over there. That makes

275
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Chase Daniel former making the leap candidate,

276
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: it's not too late to make that leap chase. I mean,

277
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: Daniel wins that every chase your destiny. If you have

278
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: a week seventeen game against the Chargers, Chase Daniels. It's

279
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: been proven he's unstoppable in those situations. Let's move on

280
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: to the Green Bay Packers, who once again are recover

281
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: after a crushing playoff loss. This time it was that

282
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: instant classic in Arizona. The the loss in overtime twenty Uh.

283
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: In the post mortem press conference, Uh, Mike McCarthy, Uh

284
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: put Any Lacey on blast. And you know we people

285
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: have been talking. Mark I remembered in the early nascent

286
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: days of the Around the NFL blog. Uh, there was

287
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: a post that we did where everyone on Twitter was

288
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: freaking out because Eddie Lacey looked fat in his rookie

289
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: camp workout. Uh So people have always talked about Lacey

290
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: being maybe carrying too much weight, but this time the

291
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: Packers official and namely the head coach, came out and

292
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: said something. Uh, he's got a lot of work to do.

293
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: His offseason last year was not good enough, good enough,

294
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: and he never recovered from it. He cannot play at

295
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: the weight he played at this year. Uh So, there

296
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: you go. His carries were down, uh substantially this season

297
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: is his production was down, did not find the end

298
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: zone much, just wasn't the same player. And when you

299
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: look at all the issues that plagued offense this year,

300
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: and Jordy Nelson was at the top, but Lacey regressing

301
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: as something no one predicted and it killed him. It

302
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: was embarrassing that sixty one yard run in the playoffs,

303
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: he didn't reach more than seventeen miles an hour on

304
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: a on a sixty one yard run, I think he's

305
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: the first player in the NFL this season to do

306
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: that by next gen stats. It's embarrassing. He should have

307
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: scored on that play. You're hurting your team. Feels like

308
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: we saw a couple of running backs getting chased down

309
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: from behind during this these playoffs. But with Lacey, I

310
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: really feel like if he does not show an immediate

311
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: commitment change in the off season to get his body right.

312
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: That's how running backs sometimes had that big surges when

313
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: they lose that weight, they get in shape. But if

314
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't, I would not be surprised to see him shopped. Well,

315
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: this is it because if if he comes to campbelln

316
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: Z and he is not him he's not looking good.

317
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: What else do you need to know that another guy

318
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: is never going to see the light? But I think

319
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: he will. I think he made some comments to about

320
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: the fact that sometimes when things come too easily for you,

321
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: you kind of sit back and think that you can,

322
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: uh like relax a little bit in terms of your preparation,

323
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And I think that I think

324
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: he understands that that's what happened to him this year

325
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: and that's why things didn't pan out this year the

326
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: way they did last year for him. So um, I mean,

327
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: I think Mike McCarthy is sort of stating the obvious there.

328
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: I I am a little bit um displeased with the

329
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: way that this has all gone down in the last

330
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: few weeks, and it's become like fat shaming Eddie Lacy.

331
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: It's one thing if it's analysis, but there were so

332
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: many jokes making their way around Twitter about him having

333
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: tweeted things about food and if you look at the date,

334
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: it's like, so that one was from two thousand twelve,

335
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: and that one was from two thousand thirteen. You compiled

336
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: like twelve didn't you want in this room? Do that? Okay?

337
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: I like what I feel I like to see these smiles.

338
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: I was smiling because everybody on Twitter is an amateur comedian,

339
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: but it just it was a lot, and I'm like that,

340
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, he's like, he's a he's a person, and

341
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: he obviously has some maybe some issues with food, and

342
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: don't I get it, Like it's like there is some

343
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: analysis there with regards to his weight, like an offensive

344
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: lineman who can't make weight, that kind of stuff. But

345
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: it just it's crossed the line into being mean and

346
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: like an appropriate joke at his expense. And I just

347
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: so in that sense, I wish that Mike mccarthel, though

348
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: he certainly didn't do anything wrong and he wasn't, you know,

349
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: piling on, but I kind of wish that he had

350
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: just not even acknowledged the weight and just said he

351
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: needs to do some work to you know, be in

352
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: shape for a new season or something. If comedy is obvious,

353
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: it's not funny too, So it's bad. It's bad, well, Lacy,

354
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: the weight to me is a symptom of something they're

355
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: not happy with, is that he doesn't take his job

356
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: as seriously and the weight is part of that. That's

357
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: why he was Ben's I think there's been talking about,

358
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, missing meetings things like that. So it's one

359
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: part of a bigger story. Back in the old days,

360
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: everyone used to I mean not the old days, but

361
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: I mean the NFL used to be littered with tons

362
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: of players that have weight problems. That's kind of gone

363
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: away in this era professional sports, where their ultra professionals

364
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: and there's more money training campus to actually get in shipped.

365
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: When you're making six million dollars a year, you're expected

366
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: to be It's different and Wes I like obvious jokes,

367
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: by the way, just me. I don't think, Hey, this

368
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: guy's thirty pounds overweight, let's make fun of his Maybe

369
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: not that. That's not West's humor podcast that will be

370
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: coming up in the off season. He breaks down, all

371
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: maybe I can get jessel Nick on that, right. I

372
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: like that co hosted the Rosenthal Advantity Project, available on iTunes.

373
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: Let's move on to other Packers news. Uh, Clay Matthews,

374
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: who was a I believe in all pro outside linebacker

375
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: once upon a time, you know it was piling up

376
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: fifteen plus sack seasons. They moved him to the inside

377
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: and that you know that had decidedly mixed results, and

378
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: now the plan, according to McCarthy's also came out of

379
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: his pressor, is that the goal is to move him

380
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: back to outside linebacker in sixteen, where he is a

381
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: quote great weapon and quote so destructive. Lindsay, this is

382
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: a former USC product, like you your thoughts well, a

383
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: fight on and b I mean you took me there.

384
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: Uh So his stats are down obviously on the inside

385
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: they're going to be. I think it's a strong statement

386
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: to how good a football player he is that you

387
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: can move him inside and that he's still effective, although

388
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: statistically speaking, less so than on the outside. I think

389
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: obviously he'd prefer to be on the outseat outside and

390
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: rushing every single time as opposed to like ten times

391
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: a game like he was this year. This is one

392
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: of those cases though the fans. The fans have a

393
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: certain opinion that why would you do this? This is stupid,

394
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: and ultimately the coaches agreed with it that he wasn't

395
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: a special player at inside linebacker, he had liabilities, and

396
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: even though they only did it out of necessity in

397
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: the middle of the two thousand fourteen season, it was

398
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: a little weird to go back to it and really

399
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: try to coach him up on it there, admitting defeat.

400
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: But it makes sense. It's good to meet admit it

401
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: was a mistake. You just but that was two years

402
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: of his prime that you just. Yeah, it's so much

403
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: easier to find an inside linebacker who's adequate than to

404
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: stash your best pass rushing and lose that part of

405
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: his game. I also want to see if they bring

406
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: Julius Peppers back at his cost, because he himself is

407
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: wayne retirement and that would affect I mean automatically, that

408
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: would change their defense quite a bit. Like Neil is

409
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: a free agent, I think Gian's a free agent, Perry's

410
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 1: a free agent. They have a lot of work to do.

411
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: Speaking a free agent, um, James Starks is also a

412
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: free agent. Back to the Lacey think for one second.

413
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: So they got some decisions to make. How much do

414
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: you trust Eddie Lacy? Uh moving on to a team

415
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: that is still playing the Carolina Panthers. Uh Ron Rivera

416
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: said on Monday that he's banning hoverboards from the Panthers facility.

417
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: He he had this to say, we don't want them

418
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: running around because we don't want something crazy happening here. Uh,

419
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: We're trying to limit their exposure to injury, and he

420
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: said the last straw came when he caught some players

421
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: quote drag racing in the hallway one time. Can you imagine, uh,

422
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: drag racing with your teammate. You're having a great time

423
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: and then the freaking coach turns the corner and you

424
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: just got banged. Situation. Well, how about banning the hoverboard

425
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: because you're an adult? What's going on here? Yeah? That

426
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: or you know they explode straight up? Well, that's my

427
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: favorite part of it was his quote have you seen

428
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: those things on YouTube blowing up? Which up all sorts

429
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: of questions in my head, like you have, like bon

430
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: Rivera is sitting there like YouTube and if you Yeah,

431
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: I wrote the post on the sun around the NFL,

432
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: and I included something Lindsay didn't see because she ped

433
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: up the ESPN version. I see next to me said

434
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: my benefits. But I did include if you put hoverboard

435
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: accidents in YouTube, it brings up all these exploding toys,

436
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: and it also brings up Mike Tyson near killing himself

437
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: falling down, you know, in a way that even Buster

438
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: Douglas would be envious of how how hard Tyson went down.

439
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: Uh So, yeah, nobody should use it. And by the way,

440
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: let's be honest here. If you know your filmed history,

441
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: hoverboards popular eyes on back to the future too. Those

442
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: things float, they don't touch the ground. That's not a

443
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: hover board. Yeah, therefore they yeah, yeah, it's a it's

444
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: a segue without the you know, let's not act like

445
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: they've gotten there technologically. It's starting to call things hoverboards

446
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: when they're not. It's all advertising. Yeah, they have a book,

447
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: come back to us, get there first, build it. So

448
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: you're saying I should return my year end present to

449
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: the group, Well, it says something that you and Ron

450
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: Rivera to see the world differently. That you would let

451
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: your charges ride around on a hoverboard. He would put

452
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: his foot down. So that's a good thing on on

453
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: your part. Greg. Now that we don't need to go

454
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: to hr not yet another run you bring one of

455
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: those things in here in the short circuit. The next

456
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: thing you know, we've got a freaking fire here. Hey,

457
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 1: got a freaking At least he's not a micromanager. I

458
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: love Ron Rivera. He's great. He's the riverboat gambler. If

459
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: you're real riverboat, you let all the guys on hoverboards

460
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: and just have some fun. How great is that that

461
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: match going to be for that reason, right, Ron Rivera

462
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: and the whole gambling aspect, which we don't do in

463
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, Bruce Arians, It's gonna be fun. It's gonna

464
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: be a good game. That's what No biscuit. I love that.

465
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the NFL today. One lass a

Speaker 1: it to where she proved it so well. They're great people.

474

476

479
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: I wrote about it during the Hard Knock season. Bang

482
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: sponsor of the Around the NFL podcast is good. But

483
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: uh yeah, Ed and Bab's great company. Well they enjoyed

484
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: meeting you guys. It was hard to get a gage.

485
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: I couldn't. There were a couple of times where I

486
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: said something or it looked like Ed was like, what

487
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: is wrong with this guy? No, no, not at all.

488
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: He found you very entertaining, very entertaining. Sydney doesn't like

489
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: Dan Ray. Sorry, he's gonna have to keep that out. Um,

490
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: we'll get that in post. Why I And I'm just

491
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: going to butt in here with my sidebar. Um, yeah,

492
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: I know where you're going with this is a cheesecake

493
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: Factory related. Michael Burger, who is the television producer of

494
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: Around the NFL and the Show, is texting me wildly

495
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: as we're sitting up here because he's very angry that

496
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm back on and what really has not been inviting.

497
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: Burger does great work downstairs as a producer on the

498
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: network side. But and he's been on our show twice.

499
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: He did a great job last he was just on

500
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: he was on before the last time. It's been made

501
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: clear that he's on every two and a half years

502
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: and like easily two plus years part of the contract.

503
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: We've fulfilled our end. He did an excellent job. Uh so, yes,

504
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: thank you to the Sessler's. Let's move on and talk

505
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: about Yes Peyton Brady seventeen. Oh my goodness, and this

506
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: really could be It could be the last one. It

507
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: should be the last one. Will be very depressing if

508
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: Peyton Mann is trying to throw a football at age forty,

509
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: concerning how he's done it at already eight thirty nine.

510
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: So let's just savor this matchup coming up on Sunday,

511
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: and um, we will ask you a question, you know,

512
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: throw it out there to the group. Um, because I

513
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: think there is some nuance to this. It's not gonna

514
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: be an obvious one framing this as if I came

515
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: up with the question, it was Greg, but I am

516
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: the one asking it. Therefore Daddy gets the credit. Here

517
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: we go, who would loose? Get it right? It's always

518
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: been a little disturbing that Dan calls himself daddy in

519
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: front of it all of us, right, stay focused on

520
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: the segment. Uh, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. For whom

521
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: would a loss in the a f C Championship game

522
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday be more devastating? Lindsey buzzes in, Yes, obviously, Peyton,

523
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: Obviously Peyton. Let's hear why White? Obviously? Is there anyone

524
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: else who really is going to make an argument for Brady?

525
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: Let me just show if hands real quick, I am

526
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: and and I are both contraion. Uh. It's obvious Peyton

527
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: has had less success in the playoffs. This is the

528
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: knock against him going into his Hall of Fame argument,

529
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: which obviously is in the Hall of Fame. But in

530
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: terms of talking about the greatest quarterback of all time,

531
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's already solidified the fact that he is ahead

532
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: of Peyton because of his success in the postseason, whereas

533
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: this is when Peyton is seen to fall apart. Uh.

534
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: And this year he's clearly not his best and he's

535
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: you don't want to go out the way that he's

536
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: going out. But and that's exactly why there's more on Brady,

537
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: because the pressure is on Tom Brady because Peyton Manning

538
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: knows and the world knows that Peyton Manning is not

539
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: a great quarterback at this stage of his career. But

540
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: the world also knows that the Broncos defense is very good,

541
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: so it's there's no shame in losing to the Broncos

542
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: if you're if you're Tom Brady, I disagree with that.

543
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: The Peyton Manning and as his teams have beaten Brady's

544
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: teams a couple of times in the conference championship, this

545
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: would be what three times in a row? Now, if

546
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: that happens, this is a much better Tom Brady. This

547
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: is the one part of Tom Brady's career where it's

548
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: obvious that he's much better than Peyton Manning. To lose

549
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: to Peyton Manning and these Broncos, a team that has

550
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: had Tom Brady's number, has had the Patriots number for

551
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: the most parties two and six and against Denver all time,

552
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: it would it would be the worst loss he could

553
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: possibly have in the a f C. What are you doing? Nice? Tried?

554
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: That was a spirited defense. Nobody believes it. Tom Brady

555
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: is already the greatest quarterback in NFL history, and the

556
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: way he's playing now, there's no reason to believe he

557
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: can't have three or four or great years to put

558
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: even more distance between himself and Joe Montana and Peyton Manning.

559
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't need this nearly as much as Peyton Manning,

560
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: who cares so much about his legacy. Literally, I'm sorry

561
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: to literally after the game, if you had a debate

562
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: about which quarterback is better Tom and Tom Brady had

563
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: just lost to Peyton Manning, Tom Brady would still win

564
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: the argument of does of all the success that he's

565
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: had in the postseason. That's the same argument Peyton Manning

566
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: used to win when the Patriots were beating the Colts

567
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: and no one really cared because only people liked the winners.

568
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: And if Peyton Manning somehow rode off in when the sunset,

569
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. If he's not playing that well. It

570
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: is just like John Elway, and it would be a

571
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: be a magical ending to his career. If he won,

572
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: he's going to ride off into the Super Bowl and

573
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: lose by thirty to the Cardinals or Panthers. Yeah, but

574
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: you say that every week. If he wins this game,

575
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: then he will beat the Steelers and beat the Pats

576
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: and without its best players, another post season uh devastating

577
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: loss for Peyton Manning, just more proof that he can't

578
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: get it done when it matters. But that's not everybody.

579
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: That's not how this works though, because he's no longer

580
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: that Peyton Manning anymore. So if we all are an

581
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: agree agreement that Peyton Manning is half the player that

582
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: he used to be, if that, the pressure is kind

583
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: of off. Because if he goes and beats Tom Brady

584
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: playing at the height of his powers, man that is

585
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: not only a huge jewel on on his crown as

586
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: he goes into retirement, it's a killer shot to Tom Brady,

587
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: who had no no business losing. Killer shot. How does

588
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: it kill him? He's still gonna be the best quarterback

589
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: of vote because if he does and then Briton Manning retires,

590
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: he will be the guy that beat him last he

591
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: beat him title games. It would be it would be

592
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: a big setback for the for the Brady legacy in

593
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: my mind, and for Manning it would be huge. I

594
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: don't think it's a huge setback for Brady's legacy or

595
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: how people view him. I'm looking at it for who

596
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: would be more devastating personally to that person? And West

597
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: You're like, of course he can have three or four

598
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: more chance. Maybe maybe he will. He's proved us wrong. Before.

599
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: But he's thirty eight years old, and you just don't

600
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: know how many chances you're gonna get. This might be

601
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: his last questance. You really, you really don't know. I

602
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,239
Speaker 1: think maybe i'm speaking as a Patriot, I'm speaking as

603
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan, that there's no worse loss than you

604
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: can have right now than to the Peyton Manning bron

605
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: I agree with the argument that, look, you don't know

606
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: from year to year what's gonna happen. But the Patriots

607
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: are in the Conference championship every single year. They have

608
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: a really talented they have a really talented young defensive nucleus.

609
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: There's no reason to believe that they're not going to

610
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: get even better. Edelman, a, Mandola and Gronk aren't going anywhere.

611
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a better running back situation next year

612
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: and a solidified offensive line. They're gonna be even better

613
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: ever seen under siege to dark Territory. I never even

614
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: heard of it. Bad guy number two assumption is the

615
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: mother of all f ups. Don't assume that the Patriots

616
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: are going to go back to the super Bowl four

617
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: more times. This could be Tom Brady's last great chance,

618
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: and if Peyton Manning takes him down. Yeah, it would

619
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: be killer. Years ago, you should have said you can't

620
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: assume the Patriots gonna win the ANFC East every year.

621
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: This is it for Peyton Manning, and you can talk

622
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: you can talk about Tom Brady might not get back

623
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl. It was last February that we

624
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: talked about, after what they achieved and winning that Super Bowl,

625
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: that they don't need to do anything more, that that

626
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: was the crown on top of what has been an

627
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: amazing pairing between a coach and a quarterback, the best

628
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: coach pairing and quarterback in the league history. So that

629
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: legacy is cemented. If you're Peyton Manning and you fizzle

630
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: out after this embarrassing season and you just go out

631
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: quietly against the Patriots, what are you gonna do. If anything,

632
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: you come back next season with Bill O'Brien's Texans and

633
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: play nine games before going out with some sort of

634
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: an injury. It is an embarrassing end for one of

635
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks of our time. So I don't understand

636
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: how we're saying that Brady, who's got another probably four

637
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: years to play. It's an assumption, but we're certainly not

638
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: going to assume that that Peyton Manning is going to

639
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: play another four years. He's probably done after this game.

640
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: So do you want to go out with a win

641
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: or a loss? I I don't think it's. I am

642
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: torn on what's the answer to this question, but I

643
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: don't think it's it's a crazy thought to go with Manning.

644
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: And it's just because Peyton Manning. Right now, you know,

645
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: we talk about the Patriots playing house money. I do

646
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: think we're at the point where no one's going to

647
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: think differently of Peyton Manning at this point if they

648
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: lose this game. If they lose this game, it'll be

649
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: what's expected that already lost. He's try telling that to

650
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. That's like, I think he's the number one

651
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: person that would disagree with the fact that he can

652
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: just do whatever. There's no pressure on him. If you're

653
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, listen to his words after each one of

654
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: these games where he knows he's not the same player,

655
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: he feels completely, seems completely Tom Bradens in the height

656
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: of his powers, I could say his legacy is cemented

657
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: after last year. Ask him how he'll feel if he

658
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: gets beat in this game. But they'll be back in

659
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: the same game back five Monarly, the anti Payton argument,

660
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: the only bullet in somebody making that argument's gun is

661
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: that he doesn't have success in the postseason, so for

662
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: him to lose another game in the postseason to that

663
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: person more ammunition. That's never argument that's made against Tom Brady,

664
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: so it doesn't sting quite the same way. Nice I'd

665
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: like to see someone try to make that argument against

666
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. That would be fun, but the playoffs that

667
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: he's not as good in the place. Plus, someone could

668
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 1: make the argument after this and it would be stupid.

669
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: If Peyton Manny and the Colts, I mean the Broncos

670
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: win this game, would be like, well, at least Peyton Manny,

671
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: he's got a winning record against Tom Brady in the playoffs.

672
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: People get a little carried away with winning records, but

673
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: that would be a true, true statement. Then he would

674
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: head and asked him if they run on batteries. He

675
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: would also have won three out of four AFC title games,

676
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: so it would be pretty a big deal if he

677
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: somehow did win this game. But I think obviously the

678
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: Pats are the heavy favorite here. I mean, we all

679
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: know that. We'll see how it plays out. Greg shrugs

680
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: his shoulder. He doesn't think you there are three point favorites.

681
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: Vegas knows more than Vegas knows more than us that wait,

682
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: you're the same guy who who said it would be

683
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: we like it was crazy when I made an argument

684
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: that the Packers could beat the Cardinals. Oh that's crazy,

685
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: or it's crazy to make an argument that that you

686
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 1: that none of us even thought they'd be competitive. None

687
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: of us thought the Vikings would be competitive. Our predictions

688
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: are who. What we think is gonna go into the

689
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: game is meaning less. Vegas knows the truth three points

690
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: that they're not heavy favorites. All gonna be taking off

691
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: the podcast at Greg uh So, good talk, guys, Yeah,

692
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: we'll see. Here's the good thing, guys, we get to

693
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: see the game play out. That is a great bonus,

694
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: a solid tag. Thank you. See I could do this

695
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: to Lindsay and layout and wait for commercial break and

696
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: we're back. Yes, it is time now to open up

697
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: the mail bag because our listeners are awesome and they

698
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: every time you put them on the spot and you say, hey,

699
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: send us some questions, they flood the around the NFL handle.

700
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean that type of loyalty lindsay, is not something

701
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: you could have. Can't put a price tag on it. No,

702
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: it would be it would be incredibly high. No prices.

703
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: She agrees. Yeah, you can invest on Scott Trade with

704
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: all that loyalty if you could put up I don't

705
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: really know what Scott Trade does. I know. I know

706
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: it's the only vehicle that I would use if I

707
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: had money to move my money around. It is by far.

708
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 1: If you all right, tell me if I'm wrong, lindsay, honestly,

709
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: if you have money and you want to make more

710
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: of it, give it to the old Scott Trade. That

711
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: checks out. That's an analysis. Let's do the mail bag.

712
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: Let's hit it up a lot of good stuff and

713
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: we'll start with m hmmm, what do we want to

714
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 1: start with? Ah? I love this one. This is from

715
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: oh a great listener of ours, Tom at Budgee is here.

716
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: I think Tom has made almost every mail bag on

717
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: this and that's a testament to his acumen in this

718
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: uh particular field. If the Cards go on to win

719
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, what will the heroes do to commemorate

720
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: the t of around the NFL question? I mean, we

721
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: have to, we need to make donations to local charities

722
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: which we got to get around to um for the

723
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: teams we stuck a fork in this year. But how

724
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: about this, if we picked the team of a t

725
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: N back in September, they win the whole damn thing. Yeah,

726
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: I think that. I think at that point they give

727
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: us something. I don't think it's about doing something to

728
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: commemorate them. They should turn around and say, wait a minute.

729
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: This group of sears way back when and now West

730
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: probably deserves the most credit because he fought the hardest

731
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals to get in. Maybe the Cardinals need

732
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: to come back to this podcast. And gifts. I don't

733
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: know what form of gifts, any form like Jeff's like

734
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: a moving No, a gift like presence, full confidence that

735
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: we know how to celebrate. Oh that's the answer. We'll drink. Okay.

736
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: Next question from not T w not T Wagner twag

737
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: eight six. If you could take an unlimited paid sabbatical

738
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: to write one book of your choice, what would the

739
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: subject be? Saucy will start with lindsay on this one,

740
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: do you want me to come around to you? All right?

741
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: Start with West because I know he's got seven books

742
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: in his mind. I think at this point it would

743
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: be a book about football. But ultimately, if it was

744
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: later in my life, I would like to write fiction,

745
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: and it would be about a lot of the philosophy

746
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: that I spout on this very podcast about flawed women

747
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: west philosophy. But but so would it be like meditations

748
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: from like West. You know, Chris Wesley think I think

749
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: west is uh. I think he's doing it. I think

750
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: he's hinting at a memoir. Please dear all right, dear Jesus,

751
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: Dear Jesus and heaven, if you could give me one thing,

752
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: a Chris Westling memoir that if we're still doing a show,

753
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: I could read passages live on air. Dear Jesus, I

754
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: love you, thank you well. The only fictional memoir I

755
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: know of is a fan Fans Notes by Fred Exley,

756
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: and it's my favorite book. So maybe fictional memoirs the

757
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: way to go, Mark. I think I would write a

758
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: mystery type book with um like Nancy Nancy Drew as

759
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: an adult where like having been a child, detective really

760
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: waged war on her and she she's like the laughing

761
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: stock of all her twenties something friends. And he remember

762
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: her father was like a district attorney. I think it

763
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: starts with him found dead and they're calling it a suicide,

764
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: but she's got to save her father's honor with one

765
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: final case that also allows her to move into womanhood

766
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 1: that requires an incredibly large magnifying glass. Well, I don't

767
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: know a lot of thought into that. I'm looking he

768
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: definitely had that planned already before. You know, I have

769
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: thought about that for a long time. I mean, it's

770
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: not something I just I'd love to hear Mark's take

771
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,479
Speaker 1: on womanhood in general. So far, both the books touch

772
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: on women at some point. Greg, I don't know. I

773
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: don't think I could write a book of You'd probably

774
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: have to be football related. But maybe I'll go I'll

775
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: change the question and instead I'll just be starting over

776
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: as a tennis blogger traveling the world. I'll start the

777
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: eight the eight NFL of tennis, because it wouldn't be

778
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: a good enough writer to pull off. Do you have

779
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: any hot takes about the scandal right now? Tearing apart

780
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: your beloved tennis? That's a pretty much I think it's

781
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: pretty minor. Greg's Gregg's response to any scandal touching something

782
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: he likes, the top players potentially throwing matches, but it

783
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: really wasn't. It wasn't anything new. It wasn't anything new,

784
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: and it was like it's at the minor minor minor

785
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: leagues basis, you don't have to write a book, ba,

786
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: I don't want so much work. What about a tell

787
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: all about NFL network all the stuff you saw just

788
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: shred everyone burn bridges stories, oral history s right. I'll

789
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: do the oral history of the Patriots dynasty. You've been

790
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: doing that for the last three years on this podcast.

791
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: My book would be about dinosaurs next, uh, moving on?

792
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: This is from Stephen Moore, Like this one at Stephen

793
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: Moore nine double oh nine? How does Dan make his

794
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: hair look so? Quote Hollywood from Steve and Norwich. This

795
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 1: is This is good because it allows me to spread

796
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: the message of Redkin. Redkin for men. It is a

797
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: molding paste the work hard kind, max control, added texture,

798
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: flexible shape, no shine. I don't know if they have

799
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: it in the UK, but I swear by it. I

800
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: pitched it to people. I was at a wedding last

801
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: weekend or the weekend before, in which I told several

802
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 1: of my cousins about it and let them try the product.

803
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: Huge Redkin. Apparently Redkin is a new sponsor of the show.

804
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: You don't even sell Scott Trade. That hard what I

805
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: said that you can get rich off Scott Trade. That's good.

806
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: Next Chris Rodriguez at good Luck Chris underscore. Will Gentle

807

Speaker 1: Nick ever guests appear on the show during the offsea reason?

808
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:05,360

Speaker 1: Greg has taken Let's let's be honest, let's put all

811
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: lengths to keep us from even seeing Gentle Nick. Well,

812
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: why are you assuming I'm the one take? Maybe so?

813

819
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: do that. Maybe that could be an offseason goal of

820
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: the show. It's a very talented Lindsay and popular comedian.

829
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: list too. Just a little awkward, Mark Cessler and Dan

830
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: Hanses not awkward at all, So cute Greg. Now I

833
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: are you drinking? I don't know. That's why I would

834
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: be so exciting. Who knows? I don't know. What does

835
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: Kanye drink? I don't know. Three thousand dollars bottle of

836
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: champagne probably and about two to that. Oh I don't

837
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: do those. I just think that would be interesting, you know.

838
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: Next up from Manly, where is the one that I

839
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: am anticipating? Oh? You want to do that one? Next? Okay? Sorry,

840
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean all of these, like what book would you write?

841
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: Let's start with like book would you read? Lets This

842
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: from David Ealely downstairs, our editor, who would be the

843
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: best current NFL player as a bachelor contestant, and who

844
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: would be the worst? The floor is yours, Lindsay Rogue,

845
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, best Rob Gronkowski, Rob Gronkowski. Jacuzzi

846
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: is on the rag Is brothers come in and and

847
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: are like, Oh, we're going to decide which girl gets

848
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: the one on one. I mean, that would be amazing television.

849
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: It's hard to argue. I don't know. The only thing

850
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: I would worry about is that the Patriots would clamp

851
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: it and and either have them edit the show or

852
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: something worse. But if he's allowed to do what he wants,

853
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, yeah, you have to assume it. They

854
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: can do this show how they want. I think Cam

855
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: Newton would be a good one. It would drive people crazy,

856
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: but I would like that too. Would be a lot

857
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: of entertainment. And he just had a child baby with

858
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: his long term girlfriend home wrecker whatever. I'm just saying,

859
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: I shoe chose, that's something that actually happened. Everybody, Um,

860
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: I have the worst one. H Russell Wilson. Oh yeah,

861
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: oh that's such a great call. I totally agree. He

862
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: would be just as bad as every other bachelor in

863
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: the history of television. These are amazing women. Maybe yeah,

864
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,720
Speaker 1: does Tim Tebow qualify for this or since he's doing anymore?

865
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: Because I feel like maybe he would be worse. But

866
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: here's the thing said, and you know you're you're a

867
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: good girl and an innocent girl. I don't want to

868
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: really delve into deep here, but hr calling Tebow is

869
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: a man that practices his faith as abstinence. Uh isn't

870
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: wasn't the question who would be the worst batch? Oh? Worst?

871
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 1: I heear you're saying best? No? I thought that we're

872
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: talking about Russell Wilson. Yeah, you're right, I'm with you

873
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: on that. But would Russell Wilson end every day with

874
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: Go Hawks? So many brand managers would be on set? Um,

875
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: you know I was, But that was good. The Grock

876
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: one is good. But the winner it's Clipboard. Jesus, it's

877
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 1: Charlie Whitehurst because he's dating Jewel. Okay, we have I mean,

878
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: how I mean, how could you the hair, the hat,

879
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: the style, the personality, he's already well I want to

880
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: know that he has the personality. I know he's got

881
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: like the like the long hair, and he's bad at

882
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: his job, but like and he also he knows how

883
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: to play acoustic guitar he's learning. Imagine the scene where

884
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: he's playing Glysserene sitting by the fire. Chris Harrison's right there.

885
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: It's like, man, that sounds great jazz, and then all

886
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: the girls just swooning. How about Lashawn McCoy. He's already

887
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: got practice inviting all female parties or whatever I want

888
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: guest on Total Access today, so he's going to be

889
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: in the building. So oh, he's a great guy. Usually

890
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: it seems like I haven't really watched The Bachelor, but

891
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: usually it seems like they pick like the most wooden,

892
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: sort of like plain person you can pick up, so

893
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,760
Speaker 1: that the women who watched the show can basically project

894
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: anything they want onto him. That accurate, that's fair to say. Also,

895
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: if you're if you're a nice enough guy that you're

896
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: going to be a good Bachelor candidate right your marriage

897
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: material from a network standpoint, then you're gonna be careful

898
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: not to say anything mean about anyone on television. And

899
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: so there's really just nothing real about worst candidate disaster.

900
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: He'd get rid of everybody good. That's true. Everyone you're

901
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: rooting for at home. No Rose, it's his own team building. Come,

902
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: there would be something of Riley Cooper's like, there would

903
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: be something fun though about having like a middle aged

904
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: guy who's clearly never going to be home and be

905
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: a terrible husband, be the bachelor, Like who wants to

906
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: be a coach's wife? You will never see your husband

907
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: if you have kids, they will never see him. But

908
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: there'd be plenty of people who would love love to

909
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: be part of the life. And who knows me, I'm

910
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: sure there'd be people that go on the show. Um.

911
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: Next up, this is from Manly J. Panda. Uh, do

912
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: you have any interest in learning how to correctly pronounce

913
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: the Italian words you use? People often think that's Italian,

914
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: that's just a made up phrase entirely, or are they

915
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: thinking of wes cognescente cogniscentate. That sounds right, that's in

916
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: English word. What was this person's name, Michael Panda? I

917
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: don't know, Manly J. Panda. I believe so. The answer,

918
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: I guess is no. Accurate is not what Dan's usually

919
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: looking for in his impression. It's not just me. I

920
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: think he was saying the whole group. Maybe it was me.

921
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: Will at w B underscored two to two. Which fan

922
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: base have you guys? Blocked the most on Twitter. I

923
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: don't block a ton of people. This more question for

924
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: Wes all time Seahawks by far because they are a

925
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: sheet mentality herd who brings out their army of social

926
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: media clowns to defend. You cannot mention another young quarterback

927
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: without bringing up Russell Wilson because I think everything is

928
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: about their team this year. Panthers by far, because of

929
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: the bandwagon is fan base on Earth, and they have

930
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: a really big inferiority complex and I'm tired of them.

931
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: It's about me, all right. Don't take that line down,

932
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: Panthers fans. You came in second overall, so try to

933
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 1: try to catch up exactly. Good answer, Victor triumph at

934
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: VT triumph, something like that, Greg. What will the salty

935
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: New England fans blame when they lose against Manning in

936
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship for the third time? The Throne of Chaos?

937
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, listen to that lizard. Oh no, that is

938
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: a lot of death and carnage. That's like a plane

939
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: crash and like a shark attack happened at the same time.

940
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: They won't be blaming anyone. A couple of weeks later,

941
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 1: when Manning gets blasted. They'll feel like maybe we dodged

942
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: the bullet, just like in two thousand thirteen with Circus

943
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: on Uh. Next up, This is from It's a good question,

944
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: Football Question Jackson Smith at Damn Sun twenty nine. Most

945
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 1: likely team to go from first place in their division

946
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: to last and out of the playoffs. Uh, quickly pulling

947
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: up the final standings of the NFL season. So first

948
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs Patriots, Bengals, Texans, Broncos, Redskins, Vikings, Panthers,

949
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: and Cardinals. Most likely to go in last place. I

950
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 1: will it's gonna get the Kissing Cousins upset, but I'll

951
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: say the Redskins. I'll say the Redskins. I will say

952
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 1: the Texans because they may not even have any of

953
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks for next season on the roster and that

954
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: division is an absolute nightmare. I'll give the Redskins a

955
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: slight edge because the Titans are still alive in the

956
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: a f C South to come into last. All right,

957
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: Very true. Uh, let's see she's got that one. A

958
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: couple more. Oh, here's a good question. Um, when will

959
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:13,240
Speaker 1: Chris Westling? This is from Stephen Moore. Also what about

960

Speaker 1: your hair? Big job? By more Today, when will West

961

964
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: is delightful. First of all, we see have a podcast

965
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: that you're talking about it on m okay with that

966
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: she might, so she knew it had. Everything's been going great,

967
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: she tells me when she meets she looks fantastic. She's

968
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: wearing a black and white dress, high heeled boots, and

969
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm dressed like I'm still living on an island

970
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: of two thousand people, you know, ball cap just to

971
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: break a little shirt, all right. So she tells me, well,

972
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: everything's going so well. So even if we even if

Speaker 1: one of us pukes on the other, like you're you're

974

Speaker 1: still getting a second date out of this. And I

975
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: was like, oh great, wow, so you have to test

976
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 1: her out. So she invited you to vomit on her.

977
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: I didn't take it as an invitation. I didn't follow

978
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 1: through on it. So wait, hold on. We just glossed

979
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: over with Dan said, is it love? It's premature? Do

980
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: you want to know what love is? I do want

981
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: to know what love is it's premature for all that.

982
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: But this is the she's like a dual threat date.

983
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: So she looks so fantastic. We gotta test out her

984
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: throwing arm because this is what you do with women.

985
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: She's got like as she's got like a Kaepernick s

986
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: delivery and strength and little bit like scatter date maneuver

987
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, you got local high school And no, no,

988
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: we might have been doing I llegal activities with the

989
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: throwing arm because I like to at the end of dates. Second,

990
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: I got to break a few rules. I just did

991
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: the Bruce Arians double takes. Well, we might have been

992
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta break a few rules. See if

993
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 1: they like to have fun as much as you do.

994
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: And you know, at the end of the night, you

995
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: can't just abide by society's rules because you want to

996
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:59,959
Speaker 1: have you want. What does that mean? What I missed

997
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: something I don't. I'm not going to have a cohort you.

998
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: You broke some laws. Well, maybe maybe we can talk

999
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: off air on that. I don't want but to have

1000
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: to go to the here one last thing, and I

1001
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: don't know if this is something for on air off

1002
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 1: so you know we can cut it if you want.

1003
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: But are you concerned about the some of the geographical

1004
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: issues right now for you? Uh, lindsay, I believe you're

1005
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: from Orange County originally, So is this woman? Uh? Is

1006
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: that after? Sorry? Well, I think it's it's something that

1007
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,919
Speaker 1: can be overcome. You know, I don't know, like drive

1008
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,439
Speaker 1: to her on this day, but I'm supposed to drive

1009
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: down there or make my way. If that is your

1010
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: biggest obstacle to hop over, you're gonna be. You're gonna

1011
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: figure that out. That's not a huge issue. I think

1012
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 1: it's important when you are looking for a prospect to

1013
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: find someone who can pull off a heist with you,

1014
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: and you know, she showed those qualities. I like. I

1015
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: like getting the update on West's love love life, but

1016
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: I don't like the presumption in the question as if

1017
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,760
Speaker 1: settling down is somehow the only to her in a happy,

1018
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: happy answer. It's like people ask like people that don't

1019
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: have kids, what are you gonna have kids? It's like,

1020
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: maybe I don't want to have kids. Shut the f up.

1021
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: It's like there's a lot of different options. Greg always

1022
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: has to go cynical. Greg, I'm just saying I think

1023
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,240
Speaker 1: I would I would find it annoying that's if that's presumed.

1024
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: I do want to have kids with the right woman,

1025
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: but you know that hadn't come along, and she might

1026
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,959
Speaker 1: be it. That's what I just learned. Well, like I said,

1027
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: she's a dual threat day and a delight so mystery. Yeah,

1028
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 1: or she's staring at her at her phone right now

1029
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,879

1030
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,960

1031
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 1: can go either way. Really, you gotta take chances in life.

1032
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: I'd like to swing for the fences. And finally, this
