4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: feels like a super long week, so busy just slam

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: wall to wall with sports. This podcast has been popping

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: off all week, four straight days of guests. I think.

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Rob G can confirm. That might have

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: been the first time in the year we've done this

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: podcast that we've had four straight guests. But it's getting

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: close to football, you know, I know next week is

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a big fantasy football week. I've got like

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: five drafts next week. Um, So I wanted to get

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: into some of the as many smart folks as we could.

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: If you missed it and you're just picking up this one.

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: We had Chris Simms. We debated Tom Brady. That was fun.

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: He is the only man on the face of the

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: earth who doesn't think Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: of all time. Daniel Jeremiah just fun. Fact Scalore from

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: one of the greatest sports media guys that isn't with

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: a team. He's very good. We had Kevin Clark earlier

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: in the week from the ringer Um. We had some

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: spicy takes, and then we had Preston Johnson who kind

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: of changed it up a little curveball. I don't know,

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: I need to interrupt the prologue here at the beginning

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: because I need to ask rob G prologue epilogue. I

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: don't know I might have puchered that. I need to

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: ask you, rob G, where were you on the Preston

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: Johnson n FT crypto punks, uh, all that Internet e stuff.

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure there was a segment of our audience that

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: really enjoyed. I asked you, where were you? I didn't

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: ask about the audience. I know the audience. Wow. I

32
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: know I heard from a lot of people that they

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: totally dug it um. But I want to know what

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: you thought. Uh, just not my cup of team not

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: my cup of tea. The first half of the first

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: half of it was great. I love the college football angle.

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: And then we started talking about n f T s

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: and blockchain technology and you know, uh, crypto and things

39
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: like that, and it's like, I don't know if that

40
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: that might be a little bit above the heads of

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: of our listeners. Here are you calling our audience dumb.

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: Are you saying they're not smart? Come on, sports fans

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: in general, I know they've got you know, they're not

44
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: always the smartest fans are fan which is short for fanatic.

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: Obviously they're a little crazy and unhinged. And yeah, yeah,

46
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: the Deep South college football country has a reputation, um

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: as not the smartest folks in the world. And listen,

48
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: a lot of that people will just pointed like the

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, high school graduation rates and in like Mississippi

50
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: it's like the dead last in the country. And oh look,

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: they're also dead last in COVID. Like, I'm not gonna

52
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: come out and say that stuff. You guys can look

53
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: it up yourself. But unfortunately we do have to talk

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: about COVID. I'm really annoyed with it. I got hit

55
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: out here. I mean, you guys know him in l

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: A County and they came down with some BS mandate

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: this week that said four youth sports. Yes, that is

58
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: like seven, eight, nine, eleven, twelve year olds, that's youth sports.

59
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: Before a practice, the athlete has to get a test,

60
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: and before the game, an athlete has to get a

61
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: COVID test. Like personally, you know, I'm on some text

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: change with dads for some of these teams, mostly dads

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: that I know, because you gotta be careful with the

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: COVID stuff. And I'm just telling you, these guys are

65
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: just like laughing, like yeah, sure, that's really gonna happen.

66
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Good luck inforcing that, you know, Like I don't ay,

67
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why soccer is outside outside. It's an

68
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: outdoor sport. You're outside. Our kids don't even have to

69
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: wear masks at recess outside. Like listen, I know Delta

70
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: serious and people are hospitalized and you can't vaccine, give

71
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: the vaccine to ten year olds. But folks, it's really

72
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: becoming a story, not just in the youth sports level.

73
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: And again I'm in l A County. Maybe it's not

74
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: bad everywhere else. And oh, by the way, forty five

75
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: minutes out in Orange County, it's not bad at all.

76
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: They don't care p sports indoors, no mask whatever. Um.

77
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: But like that was one of the bigger stories in

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: the NFL this week, and that kind of sucks because

79
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: if you remember last year, not only do we have

80
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: the COVID, but we had the election and that just

81
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, tore apart the NFL season. It was like

82
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: a subplot that nobody wanted nobody and now we got

83
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: to kind of do half that over again. I just

84
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: want the football. I want the gambling, I want the fantasy.

85
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: I want all that stuff. I want my Sunday's sitting

86
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: down maybe with cheese six and bread six, but hopefully

87
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: not watching Red Zone on one channel, watching the local

88
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: game on the other, and watching the Jets on my phone.

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: Like that's my Sunday, first seventeen eighteen weeks. That's for me.

90
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: That's amazing, Like, I love it. You know, other people

91
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: think I'm a little crazy, you know, and like you

92
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: get invited to stuff and I gotta pass on like

93
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: n of it. A couple I'll make a couple of exceptions. Listen, Um,

94
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: unless my kids playing in like some high level tournament

95
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: and a huge game, there's a damn good chance I'm

96
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna be like yo, I'm not I'm gonna sit this

97
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: one out. Um. I did get invited to Sophi Stadium.

98
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: Um last year, No, two years ago, two years ago

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: when they were building it. My buddy got a tour

100
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: and then afterward, uh, they took you over by car

101
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: to the Los Angeles Coliseum and it was like rams

102
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: and I normally I'm like, no, but this is like

103
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: building an incredible stadium. You get to walk around hard

104
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: had of course I had Red Zone on my phone quietly, um,

105
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: but like that was tough, you know. And of course

106
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: the game, I bet on the wrong team and that

107
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: one and yeada Yoda get up. But um, I don't know, Rob,

108
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm kind of nervous about COVID. Like this Buffalo Bills situation.

109
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to set this up.

110
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: I don't want to read like the whole saga, but essentially,

111
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: I guess the Buffalo Bill Bills have cameras at the facility,

112
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: and they have somebody monitoring the cameras, and they said, you,

113
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: Joe Bob, had your mask pulled out when you walked

114
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: through the facility at two fifteen or whatever, and they

115
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: had screen grabs. And I said, later, when you were

116
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: walking around here, you didn't have your mask on at all,

117
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: and that's in violation and you're fine dollars. Did I

118
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: get that accurately wrong? Yeah? Pretty much. You know. The

119
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: thing that's that's funny or made the story funny, is

120
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: that one of the receivers who got caught and fine

121
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: was Cole Beasley, who has been very vocal about his

122
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: unwillingness to get vaccinated. The other part that made it funny,

123
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was Beasley or if it

124
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: was Isaiah mackenzie who was the other one who was

125
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: very vocal about the fine that he got. One of

126
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: the one of the two was actually caught in person

127
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: by an NFL representative who happened to be on their

128
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: team campus to discuss COVID. So it was just, you know,

129
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: wrong place at the wrong time, and um, you know

130
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: I I just wanted to say this, I know this.

131
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm want to step on your toes,

132
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: but let me just get this off my chest and'll

133
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: let you react to it. So we've found out during

134
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: this whole spiel, as Cole Beasley and Isaiah McKenzie are

135
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: talking about the fines that they got and how unfair

136
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: this processes and things like that, we find out from

137
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott that only around eight of their team is

138
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: fully vaccinated. Okay, by comparison, in the entire NFL guys

139
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: are vaccinated. So if you were to take the Buffalo

140
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: bills out, that number might be you know like that.

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: That's how low their numbers are relative to everybody else.

142
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: They've decided amongst their team and their staff and their

143
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: players that they're very big on the personal decision. You know,

144
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: players opinions. Let them do what they like. You know,

145
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: as long as we follow the protocols, everything will be

146
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: just fine. That obviously that has not worked out. On

147
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: the flip side, you have the Tapa Bay Buccaneers, the

148
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: reigning Super Bowl champions. Bruce air Ends makes headlines earlier

149
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: this week when after a joint practice between the Bucks

150
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: and the Titans, their kicker goes out to dinner with

151
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: some Titans players because he's fully vaccinated and that is

152
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: allowed according to the protocols. He comes back and he

153
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: tests positive because you know, the Titans had that big

154
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: outbreak of COVID on their team, including Ryan Tannehill, Mike Rabel.

155
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: So Bruce arians is so pissed about it. He reiterates

156
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: to his players again going forward this season, we are

157
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna follow the protocols that were in place last year.

158
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: That was when things were basically on lockdown. You were

159
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: in NFL jail, if you were on the road, you

160
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: could not leave the hotel. You were getting wearing a

161
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: mask everywhere throughout the facility. You were getting checked at

162
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: every door. He's like, We're gonna do that this season

163
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna risk an outbreak. I'm not going

164
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: to risk a positive test because it's gonna derail our

165
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: chance at winning another Super Bowl. So if I tell

166
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: you those two store those two stories, the Buffalo Bill's attitude,

167
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: which is, hey, you know, we're just gonna deal with

168
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: it as it comes, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneer's attitude,

169
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: which is, we're gonna nip this in the butt immediately.

170
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't care if it doesn't seem fair to you,

171
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: because our goal is to win the Super Bowl. Which

172
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: one do you think is more likely to win this season?

173
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: Which one do you trust entering season to actually perform

174
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: to expectations. I'll take Tom Brady like, that's That's what

175
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm by. My overall point is, look, the Tampa Bay

176
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: Buccaneers are already great on paper. They're the defending champions,

177
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: they have everybody coming back, and on top of that,

178
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: they've decided we are going to have an extra advantage

179
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 1: over the rest of the competition by ensuring that our

180
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: team is I believe vaccinating the coach expected to be

181
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: closer by the time the season starts, and we're gonna

182
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: have the strictest protocols to ensure that we do. I

183
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: think that's gonna jeopardize the availability of our players. There's

184
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: no way as long as we follow things properly. Tom

185
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: Brady is gonna get it, Mike Evans is gonna get it,

186
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin's gonna get it. Lavante David's gonna get it

187
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: because we have these protocols in place that are so stringent.

188
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: If if, if it we have a breakthrough, then then

189
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to tell you. Buffalo has decided. Hey,

190
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, I know we've got these protocols in place.

191
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: But Cole Beasley, if you don't want to get vaccinated,

192
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: and if you want to walk around the weight room

193
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: with your mask pool down, that's fine. You know, We'll

194
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: just deal with it. It's no big deal. It's only

195
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: fifteen like in this in the world that we're living

196
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: in today, where COVID, as you said, is wrecking youth sports.

197
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: Now in this country, the people that are going to

198
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: be successful in competition are the ones that are willing

199
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: to sacrifice and do those things and follow those protocols.

200
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: The people that aren't, you're gonna see these positive little cases,

201
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: little mini breakthroughs. You're gonna see this attitude that reflects

202
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: that we'd rather have fun and enjoy what we're doing

203
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: then when And I think that that's just a perfect

204
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: illustration as to why the bucks are contenders and the

205
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: bills are pretenders. Yeah, I mean it's sad but true.

206
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: I what I don't get is the guys who are

207
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: fighting so vociferously. I don't want to get chipped. I

208
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: actually heard not chip block, not cup block, but people

209
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: think you're getting a microchip when you're getting the uh,

210
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, the J and J or whatever vaccine you're getting,

211
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: like you're getting a microchip. So that would mean that

212
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: I believe it's every senator and every governor in the

213
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: country has been vaccinated. Every former president that's alive has

214
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: been vaccinated. Like, I don't know where this don't fight

215
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: fight for your right. I don't know where that's coming from.

216
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't know who specifically is saying it, But if

217
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: they are, I am curious if they're vaccinated, because I

218
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: bet they are, but they're just sounding tough to give

219
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: off that vibe of oh I'm a rebel. I'm not.

220
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not gonna capitulate and get the vaccine,

221
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: like just do it. You know, I listen, this NFL

222
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: is a private business, guys, you know this, They could

223
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: do whatever they want. They want to say. You gotta

224
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: get the vaccine to play. You gotta get the vaccine

225
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: to play. I mean, listen, you're making a lot of

226
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: money to play football, and I know you're getting beat up,

227
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: and it's a physical sport and there's long term pain

228
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: and potentially trauma to your brain. Like five months out

229
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: of the year. You gotta put your body on the

230
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: line five months. Like people say, oh teacher, oh jeezy,

231
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: get summers off. You know. Even in the movie Boiler Room,

232
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: which I saw recently again for like the seventy ninth time,

233
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: if it's on you're watching it, um Ben Affleck is

234
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: making the speech and he's like, you want summer vacation,

235
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: go pee, go be a public school teacher, you know,

236
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: foot football players get. I mean, basically, you gotta report

237
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: what late July early August. Obviously you can't do no

238
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: workout any off season. But basically, if you're not a

239
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: playoff team, you're your football calendar is what like late

240
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: July to December thirty one basically, so five months maybe

241
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: six months out of the year you're working and getting

242
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: paid for to play football. And if you're not like

243
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: on a good team and you're not a starter, you're

244
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: not even playing that much, and you're still making I

245
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: don't know, two million dollars, like you would be willing

246
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: to walk away from that salary two holding your beliefs

247
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: and not get the vaccine even though all the smart people,

248
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: a lot of the rich people, and a lot of

249
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: the politicians are all getting the vaccine, and you're still

250
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: gonna say no, Like I just it just doesn't add

251
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: up to me. And I mean it might be a

252
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: bridge too far to essentially called the bill's idiots and

253
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: pretenders because they're not getting a vaccine. I mean, I

254
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen's got in it right, No, he has not,

255
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: as far as I know. He was one of the

256
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: guys who said, I need to do my research. Oh no,

257
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: which is funny, my research exactly. The NFL has access

258
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: to the best doctors in the world. They have they

259
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: have the money to get you whatever peer reviewed study

260
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: you'd like to look at. Oh yeah, Lamar Jackson's pouring

261
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: through peer reviewed definitely, I'm sure in his spare time

262
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: right after he puts down the playbook? Can I get

263
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: that peer review study from England? Like you know, no,

264
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. So it's Lamar Jackson,

268
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Josh Allen. Who what are the quarterbacks? Cam

269
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: Newton who we're going to talk about here, who basically

270
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: cost him might have cost himself his job. Now by

271
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: all accounts, it was unintentional that he broke protocol. I

272
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: guess he was taking the wrong test or something along

273
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: those lines. But listen, it's I don't even is it

274
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: indefensible for Cam to screw this up like it has?

275
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: And you know what the answer is, Hey, oh, you're

276
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: giving out the vaccine and I'm not gonna have to

277
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: worry about anything. Really. I mean, obviously you've got to

278
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: still be cautious, but oh, okay, give me the vaccine. Yeah, okay,

279
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: let's move on. Like he had COVID, it wrecked his

280
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: season last year, it partially wrecked the Patriots season. How

281
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: you would still be averse to getting it is kind

282
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: of beyond me. But I know, listen, I don't want

283
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: to be one of those guys like I trust me.

284
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: I can't explain the science behind it. All I can

285
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: say is, hey, you know what, if something goes in

286
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: my kitchen sink. Do you think I'm gonna try to

287
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: play a hero and like look up YouTube videos on

288
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: how to fix it? Or am I just gonna say,

289
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: you know what, let me call the plumber. He knows

290
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: what he's talking about. Let me bring the plumber in here.

291
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: He's the expert. Let's just let him do that. I

292
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: don't know, you know. I gotta, by the way, I

293
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: gotta stop saying some bad words. I've heard from multiple parents, Rob,

294
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: who like listening to the pod in the car with

295
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: their kids. I've heard from like at least half a

296
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: dozen some kids UH locally here and I know the

297
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: UH and their dads of course, UM and so I

298
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: got I'll try to tone down the bad words. Although

299
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: Chris Sims had a nice little rant Rob maybe one

300
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: of the biggest, one of the best cuss word rants

301
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: that we've had from like a famous media person on

302
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: the pod. If you missed the Christims wind, uh Texas

303
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: legend Chris sims By the way, um I listened. I

304
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: thought Christims had a good Texas career. I got a

305
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: buddy who graduated from U T. Austin, huge Texas fan.

306
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: I said, Hey, Chris Sims is on the POT today.

307
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I can't wait to listen to that

308
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: overrated and just started going up. I'm like, wow, it's

309
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: like it's the most overhyped quarterback we've ever had. Major

310
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: Apple White was better and I just I was like, wow,

311
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, Chris Sims never lost a home game and

312
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: he goes he never beat Oklahoma and I was like,

313
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: oh boy, here we go. So it is funny that, Um,

314
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, how people listen to the pod and how

315
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: they view the guests, like I view Daniel Jeremiah's basically

316
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: like an oracle um and like Chris Sims is well spoken.

317
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people hated the Brady take. Anyway,

318
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't love the Brady take. It was great. Oh

319
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: SEEZ you and Rob Parker Parker, I know Rob Parker

320
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: heard it was like, let's get Chris Simms on the horn.

321
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: We need to get him on on. By the way,

322
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: you haven't plugged the odd couple in Forever, rob Ge

323
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: nice job, remember here there early on you would just

324
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: because they're on vacation. They're on vacation, make sense anyway.

325
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: So uh, I mean, let's just say Matt Jones wins

326
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: the starting job and Cam says, I don't want to

327
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: be here. I don't have a team for him now,

328
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: but I can tell you this, if Dad goes down,

329
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: they're starting Cam over Ben Gucci d Nucci. Um, it's

330
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: a great nickname. By the way, it's the greatest thing

331
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: name in the NFL. I'm trying to think, like other

332
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: than I mean, do the Chargers kick the Cam Newton tires.

333
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: I don't know who to backup is to Herbert, but

334
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: I know Tyrod is no longer there. Um, And like

335
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of unproven young guys. Now, my Jets

336
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: have always been desperate. Okay, the Mormon Mahomes is the guy,

337
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: no doubt that being said, they don't have a Vet backup.

338
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: They've got some young two young guys. Um, And like

339
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna go to Jets games anyway. But would people

340
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: go to Jets games to watch Cam Newton? I don't know.

341
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: Also being said, if you are in the market for

342
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback because your QB went down, who you going after?

343
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew? Should he become available? I think he is available,

344
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: right he's a backup or Cam Newton. I mean, I

345
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: don't think that's a slam dunk that it's Cam. No,

346
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: it's not. He kind of had I don't want to

347
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: call the system quarterback, but no, no, he's better than that.

348
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: And that's why I totally agree with what Albert Brier

349
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: said on this podcast. It might have been earlier this

350
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: week or last week. My day's kind of run together

351
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: these days. But he made a good point like, look,

352
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: if Cam Newton is not the Patriots starting quarterback, then

353
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: he could be out of the league. Now obviously, if

354
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: somebody gets hurt, he could be a replacement starter better

355
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson gets COVID for the third time. But you know,

356
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: Albert made a great point like there's certain guys that

357
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: because of their talent, because of their status, because of

358
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: their charisma, because of their overall attitude towards football, you

359
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: don't want them as your backup quarterback And This is

360
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: not like a Cam Newton thing, because he's not the

361
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: only one who's like this. Like if Aaron Rodgers was

362
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: available and and he had to be a backup quarterback,

363
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want Aaron Rodgers in my backup quarterback, as

364
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: good as he is, because he is one of those

365
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: guys who's always gonna think he's better than the starter.

366
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna carry himself like he's better than the starter.

367
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a little snippy attitude when people ask

368
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: him about his playing time or why he's not playing,

369
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: and he's just there's not some guys who are just

370
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: not built to be the guy behind the guy, like

371
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: Eli Manning is a great example. He said, I'm gonna

372
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: retire and give away all this money rather than hold

373
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: a clipboard for Danny Dimes because he's like, Hey, I'm

374
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: a two time Super Bowl m v P. Why the

375
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: hell am I gonna be backing up this guy? And

376
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is one of those guys where he people

377
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: gravitate to him in such a way and he has

378
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: the m v P he's been to a super Bowl

379
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: in his back pocket, like you can't expect him to

380
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: carry himself the same way that Chase Daniel does or

381
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer does. So I I totally agree with our

382
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: breer when if if him not getting this COVID vaccine

383
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: which leads to his five days suspension, which ultimately leads

384
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: to him losing his job to mac Jones, then I

385
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: could totally see him not being vaccinated ultimately in a

386
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: roundabout way leading to him being completely out of football.

387
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: That's that's just wild. I'm trying to look up Cam

388
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: Newton's salary history. Like obviously, listen, he got like a

389
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: five year deal, a one year, five million dollar deal

390
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. Again, not trying to look in his pocket,

391
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: but he's thirty two. He's taking his share of hits um. Listen,

392
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: the guys probably made well over a hundred million, Yes,

393
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: rookie deal, it was mill His next contract was a

394
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: hundred and three mill um. I'm sure he's been just

395
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: been bank off the field, right. As long as he's

396
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: now wasting all the money, he should be fine and

397
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: walk away at thirty two. Your brain hasn't turned the mush, right,

398
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm sure Cam could he transition into

399
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: media maybe, I don't know if that's his cup of tea.

400
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: He's definitely a different dude. But I don't see him coaching,

401
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: but like you don't need to. He's got millions of

402
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: dollars in the bank. Um. Yeah, those are some of

403
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: the interesting storylines I think in the NFL. Fox Sports

408
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: week zero college football this weekend. I looked at the

409
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: schedule and a lot of the websites they start with

410
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: week one. So I'm looking at the schedule and like,

411
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: oh snap, Wisconsin, Penn State, Oh my, gosh, Alabama, Miami, Georgia, Clemson,

412
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: oh my, this weekends loaded. Rob G goes, no, man,

413
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: it's week zero. So I go up to like the

414
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: scroll thing. I go for a week there and like

415
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: there is no week zero, and a lot of the

416
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: calendars haven't messed up and are showing week one. So

417
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: I find the schedule for this weekend. It's like used

418
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: to l a Hawaii, Nebraska, Illinois. Like Nebraska Illinois. I'll

419
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: take I'll take a look see at that. I think

420
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: that games on either Fox or FS one, and then

421
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: U CEE l A Hawaii will be a U C

422
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: l A tune up for the big game next week,

423
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: where Rob g will be in attendance. I don't know

424
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be reporting from the sidelines. He's gonna

425
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: be in a suite. Um, you know how we do

426
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: with Jason. You who are they playing L s U?

427
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm really going to enjoy the first half.

428
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: I know that for sure. I don't know about the

429
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: whole game, but the first half I feel like it's

430
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: gonna be good. Let me look up the line on that,

431
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: by the way, because money has been pouring in on

432
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: U c l A. And if you do want them

433
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: next week, you should probably get it before they beat

434
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: the tar out of Hawaii because they are expected to

435
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: clawb or Hawaii and the line will continue to come

436
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: down L s U. By the way, folks, this is

437
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: not your older brother's L s U. This U C

438
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: l A was favored by eleven against Hawaii. It's up

439
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: to eighteen. And then for the following week, the big

440
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,239
Speaker 1: game against L s U. You know that one is

441
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: let's see here, it was Oh, it's four and a

442
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: half down to four. That's not that much line. I

443
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: thought it would come down further. Um hmm, yeah, everything

444
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: I said about betting on that game, but um yeah. Hm.

445
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: Look man, I'm a huge U c l. A fan,

446
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: and you know my uncle had season tickets, which is

447
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: why I'm able to go to this couple of games

448
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: this year actually, because he's just you know, when you

449
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: have that kind of money, you just decide, you know what,

450
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to the U c l

451
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: Altist game. I got other things to do with my

452
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: money and time, so gave me some tickets, so I'm

453
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: excited about going. Let me say, this is a make

454
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: or break year for Chip Kelly. I know that that

455
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: I was very optimistic and I think you're optimistic too

456
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: when he came to to Westwood. But at some point,

457
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, you can't always blame it on the cover

458
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: being bare when you got there, that you've had a

459
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: couple of recruiting cycles by now where there's no more excuses, Chip,

460
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need some wins in the some ws in

461
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: the wind column. I don't I just I don't know

462
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: what happened to Chip Kelly. He clearly lost his mojo.

463
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: But remember how good this guy was at Oregon. And

464
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, I feel a little bad because he's fallen

465
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: so far so fast. Maybe the NFL did irreparable damage

466
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: to him because he cond made the playoffs is his

467
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: first year. And then it got ugly fast because he

468
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: wanted all the power and the control and how he

469
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: rose men he kicked him out of the building and

470
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. I don't know, man it uh

471
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: oh well, part of his problem, part of his problem

472
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 1: is ego, Well yeah, that too, but part of it

473
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: is that everybody started doing what he was doing. Like

474
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: when he was at Oregon and they were in their heyday,

475
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: nobody was running the spread like that at that speed,

476
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: like they they had their own offense name. It was

477
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: called the Blur. Nobody was doing that. And now Alabama

478
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: with all of their five, six, seven star athletes, they're

479
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: running the same thing. So it's one thing for Oregon

480
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: to do it when they got to five star guys

481
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: and they're you know, taking catching teams off guards. Another

482
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: thing when Alabama's doing it and they got fifty five

483
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: star guys. And now you see in the NFL, you

484
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: see Pat Mahomes is doing it with Tyreek Hill. You

485
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: know that there's there's some elements going up with that.

486
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: In in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers, they run a

487
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: lot of spread formations. So and I think it out

488
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: to a point where Chip Kelly decided, well, everybody's doing

489
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: what I'm doing, so I can't do that anymore. That

490
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: he did a complete one eighty and decided to do

491
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: a very slow, methodical offense. And it's just been it's

492
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: just really tough to watch. Again, It's easy to get

493
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: players to Oregon, right, Oregon Nike cool set up, and

494
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: you would think U c l A. But I guess

495
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: he didn't check the how tough it is to get

496
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: into U c l A. You know, it's a tough

497
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: it's a tough school to get into that, rob G.

498
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: That's where you went, right, yeah, right, you did not

499
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: get into U l A. Yeah, I don't think. I

500
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean I doubt I could have got in anywhere now,

501
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: I mean with my grades in high school. But we

502
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: don't need to go there, don't need to revisit you know, uh,

503
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: my my mediocre high school grades. But that was at

504
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: a time where like you could get in anywhere. Now,

505
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't have like a three eight

506
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: good luck, or you need higher than that, you need

507
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: like higher, there were four one four two. You can't

508
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: get any any beast to get into U c l A. No, no,

509
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: unless you run or you have like a vertical yes exactly,

510
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. All right. This wraps up a

511
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: pretty pretty pretty good week. I mean, at least I

512
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: thought it was a phenomenal week. Great guests, Rob G,

513
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: thank you for booking them. Um. Next week we will

514
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: bring on my guy Matthew Berry for our Fantasy UM extravaganza.

515
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't know when in the week, probably mid to

516
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: later of the week because I don't think anybody's really

517
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: having fantasy drafts yet. UM. Most start next week and

518
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: then bleed into UM with this fifth, sixth or whatever

519
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: right before the Thursday night opener. Folks, football is a

520
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: different animal around here. I can't wait. I mean, it

521
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: is all consuming. It feels like we have, you know,

522
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 1: doing a daily podcast for a year. Football seasons been

523
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: over since January. It's just been odd. You know, basketball

524
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: was good, but like football is just totally different. Like

525
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: my whole routine changes. I wake up like five minutes earlier.

526
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: You've got to read so much more stuff, the injury reports,

527
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: line movement, I mean, I love it. I live for

528
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: this stuff. And the gambling contest I entered along, Um No,

529
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: I should be fine. Um it was one point two

530
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: to the winner last year. They expect more entries this year.

531
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: They have already called it four million dollars to the winner.

532
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: Have I talked about this, rob No, I did see

533
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: the article about it four mil. Now. I know you're like,

534
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: oh wow, that's man. It's there's a lot of luck

535
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: involved in that. And I have been in the money

536
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: late in the season, like as late as like week

537
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: fifteen twice in I guess like seven years I've done this,

538
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: and um I and I mentioned this Moore, it's really

539
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: tough to be committed for eighteen weeks and really keep

540
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: that routine and not diverge and like have to see

541
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: your family and travel and get ready for get gifts

542
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: for the holidays and Thanksgiving, like that stuff was up

543
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: a lot of time. Thanksgiving week is always brutal. There's

544
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: just so much ship going down and it's tough to gamble.

545
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: And again, four million dollars chances of winning slim, but

546
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: there are quarterly prizes and they used to be like, oh,

547
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: fift K twenty K. There are two hundred K each

548
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: quarter if you win, so you could you could open

549
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: the season awful. It doesn't matter. You got the next quarter.

550
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: The rebound. I'll never forget. Two years ago I opened third.

551
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: Was it thirteen and two? I think it was not.

552
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: I was thirteen and two heading into the week, and

553
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: I was like top five where I could win an

554
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: easy twenty K, and I went three and two, and

555
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: that's just not gonna cut it. I mean, there's no

556
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: room for error around. You really gotta go. You you

557
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: can't have any one in fource three and two is okay.

558
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: You need a four in one and you have to

559
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: get five of those. And you gotta do this like

560
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 1: every freaking week. It's quite crazy, but I love it.

561
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: There's nothing more challenging that I've done. You know, I

562
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: did it ten k A couple of years ago. I

563
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: vowed I will never do another ten k um. It

564
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: just wrecked my body for like a week. Man, I

565
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: was I was hurting so bad because I didn't like

566
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: slow down. I gotta I got some decent time, but

567
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 1: it just wrecked me. I'm not you know, I'm I

568
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: just I trained, but not well enough. I never actually

569
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: ran a full ten k before the ten k. Um.

570
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just think this gambling is

571
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: is the hardest thing ever sports gambling. It could you

572
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: could say it's a fol's errand perhaps I'm sure there's

573
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: people laughing, like, all, what an idiot. Um. It's been

574
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: a good year so far with the gambling. March madness

575
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: was good ANDBA playoffs were good. It's all documented on Fox.

576
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: You know, they tracked my record, so I'm them making

577
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: this ship up. Anyways, nobody, have a good, safe weekend.

578
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: Be back next week, bright and early Monday morning. Can't wait.

579
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you that
