Speaker 1: exactly what happened. Dan, Dan unveiled the story a great

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: one on the old Rich Eisenshow this week. A week

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: ago Friday, I did break that news on the audience

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: that I was like, it's out there. I was like,

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: if that producer is watching right now, um, you know,

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: he or she might be getting a little hot under

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: the collar a little bit. Chances are she Wasn't you

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: know who else is getting a little hot under the

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 1: collar other car companies that aren't hun Day because uh,

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast is driven by the offer

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: mentioned Hyundai. That's right. People might be watching us on

Speaker 1: a stream and if you're not, if you're listening to

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: the audio version, you can catch us Thursday's nine pm

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Eastern six Pacific, where what is it in England? What

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: is that eight hour differences? Seven hour difference from New

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: York City, So you guys figure it out. I think

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: i'd be five in the morning in London, perhaps five hours.

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: I could be way off. Also hot under the collar West,

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: other people on our softball team, the shield of defending

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County C plus champions, other people, other people

28
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: in the outfield because Greg Rosenthal is preparing for his

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: second practice with the team, uh today Thursday. He even

30
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,279
Speaker 1: brought shorts. Really, Yeah, we get to see his legs

31
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: and uh. He's taken things very seriously. Uh and turned

32
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: some heads in the first practice West didn't. He took

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: him out twenty minutes to earn a nickname Pepper Spray

34
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: braying the ball all over the field. Yeah, that's one

35
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: thing we'll never hear with Greg. At the plate, Greg

36
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: was straying the ball. Just it's just like Pepper Spray,

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: former former tennis player, high school tennis players. That correct,

38
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: That would be correct. I mean you you've told me

39
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: as a as a manager, Dan, it's good to you know,

40
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: under promise over deliver. So I don't want to, you know,

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: like your Yankees this year. I don't want to let

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, too much, too much pressure. We're just trying

43
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: to be a role player, right, like the baby Bombers

44
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: are getting a little much heat. But I expect the

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: batting title from him. You win championships by having a

46
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: core group of people who care about each other, put

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: the team first. And Greg, what I like betterman most

48
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: is his attitude all along. He said, Look, I'm just

49
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: trying to fit in and play my role. Look, I

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: know that fly balls. You don't want men who hit

51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: fly balls and softball especially, you want groundballs and line

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: drives and pep spray is all about groundballs. Run Mark,

53
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: how about some of Greg's social faux pause that he's

54
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: known for. Do you think that could leave just some issues?

55
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's not according to West's scouting report

56
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: about having a good attitude. What are these social faux pads?

57
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: This is the first time hearing of him, Although my

58
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: wife did tell me much. She's like, no one ever

59
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: knows that you're joking, So I guess that's but that's

60
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: on an issue, and you're not typically telling jokes while

61
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: you're up at the plate. You know, I just gotta

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: hit the ball, that's all you're gonna do. There's a

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: lot of joke telling in softball. Well hold off on that. Maybe, yeah,

64
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: just you knows to the grindstone and just hit those

65
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: line drives. Pepper Spray. Welcome to you Around the NFL

66
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: podcast later in the show, because you know the we're

67
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: very excited, uh, you know, with a hun day situation.

68
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: But we need to square things away with our previous sponsor,

69
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: Mr Flame uh in his economics class in the Hague, Netherlands.

70
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: So we will get Mr f on the phone at

71
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: the conclusion of today's show just to see if everything's okay.

72
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he could be a powder kick. He can

73
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: get on the line and uh mother f us all

74
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: through the night and hang up. That could happen. You

75
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: would have absolute reason to to respond that way. And

76
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: he's notably anti car like Spikes, doesn't like cars him

77
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: a little extra that he's getting he's in the Hague,

78
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: the Netherlands. We we are still convinced that he maybe

79
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: committed some sort of minor to major crime in the

80
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: United States and is essentially on the run. Maybe there

81
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: is a temper there. We don't know. We've never ruled

82
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: that out. And Casablanca, like a lot of villains and

83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: criminals that disappear from the States. And there's one thing

84
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: to remember, Uh, everybody, everyone drink by the way, if

85
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: you're if you're playing West makes a Casablanca. That's definitely

86
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: the hat trick for two thou seventeen. Uh. One thing

87
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: for everyone to keep in mind. And this this is

88
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: a sports podcast, but occasionally touches on real life things

89
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: like we're talking about earlier home team, but how to

90
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: treat your friends and family. Uh, here's another thing. We

91
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: all wear masks. So Mr F seems like the nicest

92
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: guy in the world. We don't know how he's going

93
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: to react to this. We might see the true Mr

94
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: F today. It's a good point. Do you mean like

95
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: a metaphorical mask, not one like made out of other

96
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: people's skin or anything. Well, yeah, that could happen too,

97
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: but this one's mostly metaphorical mask. Today's show we will Uh,

98
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: everybody's getting sick of the off season already? God? What

99
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: well the yeah, it's it's by literal title only it's

100
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: the off season. But you know, when does football start?

101
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: We're not even close. We are barely into it. Yeah,

102
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: but what we're gonna do? There are plenty of storylines

103
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: out there. Uh, narrow West. You don't like the word narrative,

104
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: but I did some homework on on the word narrative. Okay, good, good,

105
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. But just storylines that are percolating

106
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: around the league the way, because what happens is and

107
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: we've been through this rigamarole so many times now, having

108
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: done this show for four years, and Mark and I

109
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: have been here since we are in our teens, I

110
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: feel like, uh that by the time you get to

111
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: the end of August, everybody knows everything and exactly how

112
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: the season is going to turn out, and and then

113
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: everybody has proven to be an idiot most of the time.

114
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: These storylines are starting to like coagulate now, calcify, calcify.

115
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: So we'll see if we'll buy, we'll sell or hold

116
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: on some of these popular narrative slash storylines out there. Uh.

117
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: And we will also do a little housekeeping. I'll leave

118
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: it at that, a little internal housekeeping. But before we

119
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: do that, we'll say, hi to sit behind the glass, said,

120
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: do you have the camera that shows you behind the glass?

121
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: I look at that there? Look can you look at

122
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: the camera? Give all the fans there? She is there.

123
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: She is just like tripled our our streaming audience from

124
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: three to nine right there. This is going to be great.

125
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: We were all under an oath with ourselves that because

126
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: people sometimes, oh, we're doing a video podcast and then

127
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: it's a horrible show. It's like, hey, check this out,

128
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: guys on the screen, and then it's like everyone listening's like,

129
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: you guys have lost that. We have made a promise

130
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: to each other in the audience that this will not

131
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: be that type of video show. But we could also

132
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: tease if you want to see behind the glass and see, uh,

133
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: new Money at work. We got the camera showing her again,

134
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: look at that working here. Hit a drop? Any drops?

135
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: Show people how you had a drops? Yeah, Like that's

136
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: how the magic is made. I have a little news

137
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: about new Money came into the studio. Well, moneys on it.

138
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: You see new Money if you want me to tell

139
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: about this. I came into the studio yesterday a little

140
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: bit early and there were a crowd of people listening

141
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: to a recording back there, and I don't this. You

142
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: must have sang this professionally at some point, belting out

143
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: a legit. I guess it was a Disney song from

144
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: beginning to end, and it was amazing and to the

145
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: point where it sounds like a professional production. She is

146
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: a legit singer for real. It's not just a little

147
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: bits that she does for our song. That's not exactly

148
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: how I remember this story. I was in a podcast

149
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: studio and I sing a song for the Dave Damashek

150
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: program to introduce Matt Harmon, and the producer of said

151
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: show played it and mortified me in front of strangers

152
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: that I had never met before. It sounds like a

153
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: Disney song, but oh yes it was. It was Matt

154
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: Harmon's introduction song that we said was written the story

155
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 1: and MVP true story story is very little in common

156
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: with Mark's version of that. When I came in here,

157
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: there were a crowd of people surrounding Sydney listening to

158
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: a song that Sydney sang that checks out entirely. This

159
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: is reference made. It's harder to be Mark. It's harder

160
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: to be an a t N media insider than you thought,

161
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: isn't it. I got to get the story you when

162
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: you begin, when you begin to be one, tell me

163
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: how that goes. I go triple source, I triple source.

164
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: That's what you don't. I always do. And that's when

165
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: I go with a story that's all right, unsolicited. I'm

166
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: probably done speaking to you for the next week or two.

167
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's listen news that. Don't you welve me

168
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: your mouth a little bit of Sherman there? Yeah, alright,

169
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: let's do and new and we'll start with Richard Sherman

170
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: and the news all around. You know, we had our

171
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: ROMO podcast on Wednesday, so we kind of we wanted

172
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: to push this aside and give it the time and

173
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: deserve because Richard Sherman. Of course, UH is in the news,

174
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: because the Seahawks are open about their potential desire to

175
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: move the all pro corner, and this was something that

176
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: had been floating out there for weeks west even when

177
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: we did our you're the GM you brought it up

178
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: as an option, UH possibly, and then it goes next

179
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: level because Seahawks General manager John Schneider goes on K

180
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: I R O A M on Seattle on Wednesday and

181
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: confirmed everything you're hearing is legit. You know, I think

182
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: we're a very unique organization that regard. We have a

183
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: great relationship with UH, with a lot of our players,

184
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: there's very much an openness. What you've seen um lately

185
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: and the news is real. Um, that's on both sides.

186
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: It's just open communication. And then he made it clear

187
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: that Sherman was not in the dark on this with

188
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: the organization. He knows what's going on. We know what's

189
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: going on. I don't know if anything would ever happen,

190
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: But like I tell people all the time, we're ninety

191
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: eight percent of the deals that we're involved with, we

192
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: don't we don't follow through with. But at least we've

193
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: opened that door, gone down, gone down the road, and

194
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: and and seeing what's what's what's what's behind you know,

195
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: door Ay or Dorb, you know, Greg your thoughts. Well,

196
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: he can say that they're an open organization. The reality

197
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: is talking about this so publicly with a guy who

198
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: has been a cornerstone of your franchise is not normal.

199
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: It's not something they've done before. And they are consider

200
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: read him trading him. I believe, you know, for a

201
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: few reasons. Number One, he didn't play as well last

202
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: year as he's played in the past. Still very good cornerback,

203
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: but maybe not maybe not a first team All Pro,

204
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: but not you know, as like he was a few

205
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: years back. Not a bad quarterback. Uh too. I think

206
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to turn over this roster at some point.

207
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: It's got a great core that's been together for so long,

208
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: but maybe they're thinking, Okay, how do we start getting younger.

209
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: But most importantly, he's been a pain, and I think

210
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: his relationship with Pete Carroll has been well documented, been

211
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: up and down. Pete Carroll said it, you know, he

212
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: said at the owners meeting that that it was a

213
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: tough year for Sherman and he never really got over it.

214
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: He never got past it. So I think I think

215
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: they're sending there either sending him a message which I

216
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: think will be good for them, or they really will

217
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: trade him if a team steps up. I think they

218
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: have a chance to. I mean there there are going

219
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: to be teams that say we're willing to take on

220
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: the external headache and whatever after you have to deal

221
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: whenever there are players that are potential problem cases. The

222
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: only way we hear about it is if it's totally immense,

223
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: or at some point someone gets arrested and we find

224
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: out something official. A lot of players on rosters inside

225
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: the building create all sorts of drama that will never

226
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: hear about and you have to wonder, just like in

227
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: your own life, if you hit a boiling point with

228
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: someone a relationship, no matter how good it was, no

229
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: matter how much you had from it, you cut ties.

230
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: And maybe the Seahawks that got to that point that yes,

231
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: it's not just his playing ability it's declined some, but

232
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: the whole Richard Sherman experience. We're willing to shop that

233
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: to someone else at this point. It's uh so unusual

234
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: for a general manager to be this honest that people

235
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: have kind of glossed over, how I guess unbelievable it

236
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: is that a Super Bowl contender is willing to play

237
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: the trade one of its best players while in a

238
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl window, and he has come out. He told

239
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: Albert Brewer of the mm QB, very little chance it happens.

240
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a little chance it happened. Well,

241
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: the unheard of, I mean, for we've been talking, this

242
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: has been something has popped up in the offseason West

243
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: where you talked about how much responsibility front officer coach

244
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: has to be honest with the media, And it was

245
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: striking to me that he would come out because this

246
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: is not just any other player. This is a super

247
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 1: Bowl champion. This is an all pro. This is the

248
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: heart and soul of that of that team. Really, he's

249
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: like the face of the team if you're besides Russell Wilson.

250
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not entirely unheard of, though, because we constantly

251
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: praised the Patriots for getting rid of players before they decline.

252
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: Richard Seymour was traded at a time when he was

253
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: still a very valuable player, and that turned heads. They

254
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: traded Jamie Collins last year. The Patriots now roundly praised

255
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: when they do that, and the Seahawks they may be

256
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: doing something similar. Who what's Who's gonna scout Richard Sherman

257
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: better than the Seahawks. They know where he's at in

258
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: his career as a person and a player. It's a

259
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: great point, and you think why did the Patriots trade

260
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: those players? Usually it's this money. Sometimes it's a little

261
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: bit they're getting bigger than the team, and Richard Sherman,

262
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: I think encompasses that that he did some things in

263
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: terms of talking about calling and yelling on the sideline

264
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: where he's becoming a little bigger than the team the media,

265
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: where he's threatened to have a guy fired to run

266
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: out of the business. That's not that's not a good

267
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: look for an organization. Yeah. So when his older brothers says, hey,

268
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks just don't want the Seahawks just want to

269
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: control him. Of course they do. Of course they don't

270
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: want a cornerback telling a writer that he's gonna take

271
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: his job. But I I thought his brother Branton, who,

272
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: according to Ian Rappaport NFL Network Inside or his report

273
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: on this is very close and and helps really run

274
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, Sherman's life and career, that he thought it

275
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: was positive to give Richard Sherman and a little bit

276
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: of a chip on his shoulder that maybe he was

277
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: implying that Richard Sherman could use right about now, and

278
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: he was saying, maybe this is good for the team

279
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: to He essentially was saying, this is maybe a good

280
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: idea for the team to try to rain him in

281
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. Richard Sherman's that kind of player that

282
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: would play better with a chip on his shoulder. Moving on, gentlemen,

283
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson still doesn't have a job. What's up with that?

284
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: Because he went that's our new segment that he visited,

285
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: of course with the Patriots earlier this week, no offer

286
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: came out of that meeting. Seahawks the same thing, and

287
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: they they signed Eddie Lacey instead. Now he plans to

288
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: meet with the New Orleans set in New Orleans, says

289
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: next week. According to NFL Networks, Heath Evan speaking of

290
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: insiders via source informed of the team's plans. Uh, this

291
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: is his third visit in free agency West? Is this

292
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: a fit? Ap and no law? Well, you will hear

293
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: a rap sheet tell you that's a fit. You'll hear

294
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: Charlie Castle and other people say it's a fit. I

295
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: don't see it. They already have mark Ingram as a

296
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: power back, and mark Ingram is acceptable in the passing game.

297
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: He's not an asset in the passing game like a

298
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowls or a Reggie Bush out there running routes

299
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: gotten better though, sure, but he's still a running back.

300
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: Nobody would confuse him with a guy who can play

301
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: the slot or line up out wide. A Jan Peterson

302
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: is not a good fit for the Saints. He's a

303
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: net minus in the passing game, not a good pass protector. Uh.

304
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: Nobody would. Nobody would watch Adrians Peterson catch a pass

305
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: take a minute to round his body into shape and

306
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: then start running and say we need that in New Orleans.

307
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: To me, I don't see it as a fit. Was

308
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: it Larry Holder that came on up to the minute

309
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago that basically said, well, look at

310
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: the Saints have an opening for a number two back.

311
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a fit either. You already have

312
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: someone that can give you a lot of what Adrian

313
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: Peterson has, and I think it's Mike Gara. Folo made

314
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: a good point later on in that show that hey,

315
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: his market value isn't what he thought it would be,

316
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: and be his other idea was I'll just latch onto

317
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: a super Bowl team if if it's it's not the

318
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: money first, and we'll just ride in and get a

319
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: ring and there will be a perfect final chapter of

320
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: the Adrian Peterson saga. Well, you don't necessarily get a

321
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: super Bowl team that wants you. Is he better off

322
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: now that this happens with the quarterbacks? We've heard Jay

323
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: Cutler that's been floating around. If he is not, if

324
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: he's now choosing to play with a perennial seven and

325
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: nine pins team, potentially in the best case scenarios, maybe

326
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: their number two guy. Why wouldn't he just stay in

327
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: shape and and realize he's not gonna get paid and

328
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: and it's not a happy thing, but someone will get

329
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: hurt in backfields. Many people will get hurt in backfields

330
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: and signed with a contender in September October? Is that

331
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: such a crazy thought for this guy? Because the market

332
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: right now is frankly like I would think a little

333
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: bit embarrassing to him. This is a legendary player. I

334
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: don't think it's a crazy thought. And from everything we've heard,

335
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: he's in no rush to sign. He wants to make

336
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: sure the fit is perfect and meets all of his criteria.

337
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: That hasn't happened yet, and the report from Serious x

338
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: Sam last week was that he is not yet turned

339
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: down an offer. He also does not get paid in

340
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: camp or most of most of it, or any of

341
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: the preseason. So it's not someone that you need in

342
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: your building to mesh with from April on or something

343
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: he could He could be. He's motivated as a football player,

344
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: There's no question there. But yeah, I think that makes

345
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: sense to wait until you get the offer you want. Well,

346
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: at this point, it sounds like he'll be waiting until

347
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: after the draft, which means a lot of running back

348
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: slots are gonna get filled. Maybe this New Orleans situation

349
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: is kind of like people thought in New England, doing

350
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: a bit of a solid for his agent and doing

351
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: some due diligence. It does seem like something the Saints

352
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: would do though, even though it doesn't make sense on paper,

353
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: I could just see Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis just

354
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: kind of decided we want Adrian Peterson, like, like, this

355
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: sounds great. There's a there's a ten percent chance he

356
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: could just be like the best running back in the

357
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: league or one of them, and let's just add him.

358
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: See what happened to distract them from all the other

359
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: issues on that team. That fan base can talk about

360
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson on a Saints team that has myriad issues,

361
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: it's ton of junk going on. Please moving on. So

362
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: Tony Romo goes from uh, the gridiron, that's what they

363
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: call football field. Now do we know why West will

364
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: tell us as a historian of the game, it's a

365
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: grid it's laid out about the iron. I don't know

366
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: about that, but it is a grid alright, okayn Etomology

367
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: podcast with West as the host. Anyway, So Tony Romo

368
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: leaves the gridiron for the broadcast booth, and a lot

369
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: of people thought I was one of them, thought that

370
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: this was the path that Peyton Manning was going to

371
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: take because he always I could always picture I thought

372
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: about this many many times, me as a fifty seven

373
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: year old dad with my son back from college and

374
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: we're watching the old Thanksgiving game and there's old Peyton

375
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: Manning with a big old forehead breaking down, chopping up

376
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: the game. Thought thought about it all the time, all

377
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: the time. This stuff went through my head all the time.

378
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: My boy and Peyton Manning's forehead at seventy years old.

379
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: Jack and Harrison, I mean, they'd be up there at

380
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: that point. Yeah, I mean listen, in this scenario, they're

381
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: they're young enough from college or something. They're young, they're premed,

382
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: they're interviewing you on their podcast. What's happening anyway. So

383
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: but that didn't work out because Peyton Manning apparently he

384
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do that. He doesn't want to go

385
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: in the booth and be an excellent color commentator. He

386
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: wants to take the John Elway path. Interesting, John oh

387
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: Rand well not, I believe it's or end or end

388
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: of the Sport of the Sports Business journal reported that

389
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: Manning won't be joining Romo on these ranks. Here's a

390
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: quote from o Rand. I haven't actually talked to Peyton

391
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: about It's quite a qualifier about this. But people who

392
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: are closed the listen it is. It's like my report

393
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: from Sydney's back office singing scenario. Last. This is a

394
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: great This is a great early April post to write

395
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: because it's an interesting storyline. I call it justifying your

396
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: existing on planet Earth. That's what kind of storyline is.

397
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: But when the quote starts, I haven't actually talked to

398
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: Peyton about this. What are you gonna do? But people

399
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: who are close to him say he has no interest

400
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: in being a sports broadcaster. He has little interest in

401
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: traveling every Sunday. He has little interest in going into

402
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: work every Sunday to do a studio show. Uh. He

403
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: wants that elway path, which of course is player. And

404
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: then getting into football, I think always started in what

405
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: the a f L and then worked his way into

406
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: Denver many years in business too, Yes, and then became

407
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: a top executive with the Broncos. Wait a minute, doesn't

408
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: want to work on Sundays, doesn't want to travel does

409
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: with the the Elway role is about fifty times more work,

410
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: more time consuming, more stressful than most broadcast teams. Maybe

411
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: maybe it was I don't want to do that to

412
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: go into studio show and you know, say two sentences

413
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: of you know, finalities with which he did with Tony. Hey,

414
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I'm just saying that may not make sense,

415
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: but when you're ready to really dive back into, like

416
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: dedicate your life to the sport, that seems like it

417
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: would make sense that that would appeal more to Peyton

418
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: man being some honk this news did Dan has disparaged

419
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: in many ways. Wow is music to my ears. I

420
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: think Peyton Manning would have been a brutal broadcaster. I

421
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: don't find him to be a funny human being in

422
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form, and I think I'd like

423
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: to see him go be a GM somewhere. Holy Wow,

424
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be doing anything because West just murdered him.

425
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: Great quarterback and can be a good business man. I

426
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: just don't see him as a guy I want to

427
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: hear from in the broadcast. Your instincts are all wrong

428
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: on this West, because he was if you ask people

429
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: around the league, who is like the funniest guy at

430
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl game speeches. That's who I want to

431
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: go to for comedy. People around a football comedy, but

432
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: just somebody we're talking. We're talking Levity and a loose

433
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: a loose guy but also knows the game. Who knows

434
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: the game better than Payton. We're all missing out, including

435
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: me and my boys as teenagers. Everything would be scripted.

436
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: You'd only get safe answers and safe analysis. You'll never

437
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: forget the time that old old Peyton ordered all those

438
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: drinks to that rookie's room. I'll tell you football writer's thought.

439
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: He was hilarious. Uh uh, Peyton, don't listen to any

440
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: of this. I don't think you have any conflicts there. Uh. Finally,

441
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime will live stream Thursday night football. After a

442
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: brief romance with Twitter, in the league's Thursday night primetime

443
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: games are moving to Amazon Prime in the league announced

444
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: on Wednesday the site in the league have agreed to

445
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: partner on a deal for the rights to live stream

446
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: ten Thursday night football games. Was first reported by The

447
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. And I think the thing that really

448
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: jumps out here is the money, which I'm not seeing

449
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: in this nfl dot Com post, but it was five

450
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: times more than what Twitter offered last year. What Twitter

451
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: got it for last year. I think when when I

452
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: hear people say that the TV ratings are down, who cares?

453
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: This is the future and there will be a time

454
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: where the NFL is getting more money from streaming services

455
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: than from networks. Ye think about Also, Thursday Night Football

456
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: a reputation could not be worse than it is right

457
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: out that it has. It has the stake on it

458
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: for being bad football that nobody wants to play and

459
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: everybody's tired and hurt, and they're still able to have

460
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: the leverage to get this type of dal for these games.

461
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: And it was the number two show in all of

462
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: television or it was either two or three. Sunday Night

463
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: Football was one and Thursday Night Football was two or three.

464
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: So maybe its reputation among some football fans for the

465
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: quality play isn't great, but it's hugely successful. Right we're

466
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: comparing Thursday Night Football to other primetime football packages, So yes,

467
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: on that front, I think it's a test ground for

468
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: much larger operations like this from Amazon from Twitter potentially,

469
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: remember growing up when they when Sunday Ticket first came

470
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: out and was only available at bars and restaurants. It

471
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: wasn't even available initially at your home. But I always thought,

472
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be great if you had a team from

473
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: out of town where you could just stream, You could

474
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: buy a package of just your your team. You don't

475
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: need to worry about the whole rest of the league,

476
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: and then the whole league. They're getting smart about this.

477
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: They're gonna start to break this up and offer fans

478
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: something that they cannot get right now. It has to

479
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: keep being more more fan based, more fan focus, because

480
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: it's so easy. They talked about it, even with what

481
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: they want to shorten the games in the commercial because

482
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: if you give the average younger viewer an extra thirty

483
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: to sixties seconds to click onto their phone and get

484
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: interested in something else, they're gone. So you've got to

485
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: keep getting smarter, and this is another way of doing it.

486
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: New platforms, new new vistas. That's what's happening in the news.

487
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: It was good platforms. You end on new platforms, new vistas.

488
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: There's nowhere else to take it. You know, well, if

489
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: you're watching this on NFL dot com, we want you

490
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: to not click off, but we would accept it if

491
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: you did, you know the Sports Business Journal, you know

492
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: with that the sourcing that was used by the Sports

493
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: Business breaking news. He's done a great job for years

494
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: and years. John Arroland, Yes, don't all NFL insiders quote

495
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: or site sources close to the situation are close to

496
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: the player. I'm just breaking some balls over here. Wait,

497
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: I thought you were. You're not on the home team. Well,

498
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: John around is not on my team taking shots at

499
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: the writer. He does a nice job. See that was

500
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: your misunderstanding. That was a good piece to write, but

501
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: it does speak to we could all use a little

502
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: Peyton manning updating all that, you know. I love it.

503
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: Dana's on an island trying to wait for about to

504
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: come by and pick him up. It's not happening. I'm

505
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: in and uh and Peyton, I miss you, Peyton, I do.

506
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: I thought he'd be in the booth by now, and

507
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: that that wit and levity and great selts of humor

508
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: would have been on display. I had my fill. Yeah,

509
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: he was, you know what a funny guy. He was

510
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: on a cults broadcast last year or two and he

511
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: was one of those guys in the booth and this

512
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: would change. But he would just get in the middle

513
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: of like a three minute long story, and you know,

514
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: there's a football game going on in front of him,

515
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: and you can just tell the play by Plague kind

516
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: of wants to cut in and like, hey, there's a

517
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: twenty yard game here, and you're talking about, you know,

518
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: shooting hunt. You know, you mean Peyton Manny wants to

519
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: be in control of the football game, talking about duck

520
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: hunting down in the Bayou or something. I don't know's

521
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: you're mixing it up with Duck Dynasty. All right, let's

522
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: move on and let's circle back now, Uh to one

523
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: of our favorite games that we played before tent Pole

524
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: moments of the NFL season. Uh, go get my lunch. Yeah, bozos,

525
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: let's see how we did. It's quite a graphic. Why

526
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: is what you were breaking the rule we're not going

527
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: to talk about what's in the studio if you can't hear,

528
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: if you can't know what we're doing on the audio.

529
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: But for some reason, the go in the graphic is

530
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: West's head tweet this out. Oh, I guess because I'm bald,

531
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: I look more like an Oh than you. Well, yeah,

532
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: West looks most like a plate of the four of Us.

533
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: Shouldn't you at least had your mouth open though, so

534
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: you could have the oh with the circle in the middle.

535
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: I think we weren't gonna do this down apologies audio audience.

536
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: Maybe you were in this graphic west in that way

537
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: because you did have a rough free agency period, did did?

538
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: So let's go through it and stop doing that. Greg,

539
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: you're always looking on my monitor. Just wait, everybody, this

540
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: is a free and public website. I can go. I

541
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: can put it up on your own save some time.

542
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't like when I love that pet peeve of

543
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: dance because it's happened probably this all the time, and

544
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: it's like sometimes he he willfully tries to like ruin

545
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: like a surprise by seeing what it is first, and

546
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: it's like, you're over here, will full surprise Ruiner. All right, Chris,

547
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: you all right? Do we wanna how do we want

548
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: to do this? Said? Should we flash the standings just

549
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: for the people watching? He's aren't even accurate? Al Right,

550
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: here we go, Greg, just calm down, goodness gracious, Oh wow,

551
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: I got all rights? He went to and seven. Uh,

552
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: And let's let's go through it. Most guaranteed money. You

553
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: had a j booie and that did not work out.

554
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: I think Stepan Gilmore was the winner. Is that correct? Greg?

555
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: He was, but I haven't gotten my sandwiches for it. Okay,

556
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: we're worked through it. We'll work through it. Stephane Gilmore.

557
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: It didn't get the most games. Someone came very very close. Correct,

558
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 1: there was someone else out there. Uh, that was right.

559
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: I think Gilmore got what like forty one millions? Someone

560
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: late in the game. You're right, I'm trying. Oh was it?

561
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: Was it a defensive lineman? I believe, Well, this is

562
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: Williams's great, great podcast. It was. It was Brandy Williams.

563
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: I think I got a lot. He was helping that

564
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: in the world. You're right. I think you're right. All right?

565
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: So anyway, Uh, A j did not get it. Next

566
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: up West, you had Calais Campbell will sign with the Broncos.

567
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: By the way, all of us took you out, Connor,

568
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: Dan Gregg and Mark by the way, Sydney I was

569
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: not here. Remember Sydney did everything for me. Yes, and

570
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: we will get to that had almost happened. Uh, Clais

571
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: Campbell went, isn't it? Denver? And I thought I had it.

572
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: You should have had Calias Campbell will visit the Broncos

573
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: that would have I don't know if it had the

574
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: same Casher, the Saints won't get first round value for

575
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, Mark Sydney and your Steed took West on

576
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 1: that and that was part of the hook for Mark here.

577
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: Yes he maybe he was the right word there. Um Uh,

578
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: Sydney took everything for Mark. I asked her to. So

579
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: she was not a great strategy and we'll see how

580
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: it played out. But in this case it did work

581
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: out because you've got a sandwich there, and then the

582
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: team that signs Adrian Peterson, you have the Raiders and

583
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: that's the only thing really with standing here. And uh,

584
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: we don't know what's gonna happen, but probably won't be

585
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders, but that one holds for now. Two and

586
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: seven up next, Mark Sessler, Mark Sessler, what do we

587
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: have said? Because I think the board you sent me

588
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: said seven and four, Marco seven and four, seven and

589
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: four from our uh, we'll start with for Mark, uh,

590
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: seven and four. Terrell Prior, Kevin Zeitler and Donte high

591
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: Tower will change teams but stay in their respective divisions.

592
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: Always trick you with these when he gets hyper specific.

593
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: That was a ridiculous job by me. Well one of

594
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: the names, that is true. Kevin Zeitler did right, and

595
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: the Jets went hard after High Tower, but that didn't

596
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: work out. But it did get some couple last three

597
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: and there lost three sandwiches. Browns. Do not resign, Terrell Prior.

598
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: That's a win. That's a win. Nice job, Mark Didney,

599
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: thanks for the sound effect. Yeah, that's a and I

600
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: I didn't take you up on the Pconnor and West

601
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: did uh? So you get two sandwiches there? Uh teams

602
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: that team that signs Adrian Peterson also had the Raiders,

603
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: and then this one is gonna probably not happen, but

604
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: who knows most guaranteed money Jimmy Garoppolo after a sign

605
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: and trade. That's not over yet. O yet, that makes sense.

606
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: That's why I have not collected on Stefan Gilmore. Your

607
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: four sandwiches, we also want to happen. No one took

608
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: me up on that apparently, so that's all we all

609
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: have to put it out there has to happen by

610
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: the draft, I believe up next Greg Rose. So Mark,

611
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: it came out well for you going the strategy of

612
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: throwing yours out there. But then being hyper aggressive and

613
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: taking wagers. Yes, it did. Is that something you planned

614
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: to do in the future. Well, I'll just I probably

615
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: won't attend the Sandwich episodes and just have Sydney do

616
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: it for me. Well worked last time, alright. Next up

617
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, who went five according to the board here

618
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: four and four and uh, let's see what Greg has.

619
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: Stephan Gilmour gets more money than a j booyers. But

620
00:32:52,440 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: that's right. See it marks it wrong online? Oh Nikki, yep,

621
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: flip those standings around. We got a new leader. Calm down, Greg,

622
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: let's calm down there. Well you're not undefeated like someone

623
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: else saying overall standings. Wow. Uh yeah, but Gilmore got

624
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: more money right because we we kind of we said

625
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: it was guaranteed money. Was kind of what we came

626
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: down on. Right, Could we give us sad you know,

627
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: trombone to Sydney right about now? Greg, the team that

628
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: signs Adrian Peterson, Well he they've already announced he's not.

629
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: So you're actually not being credited with an l on

630
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: This should get a lot. I guess you never know though,

631
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: in a big, big, crazy world, a huge elm let's

632
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: face it. Hey, let's faces a l most guaranteed money

633
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: stuff on Gilmore that looks like a win. We'll see

634
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: and then the Bear will see. Though the Bears spend

635
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: the most money in free agency. Uh, that's not gonna

636
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: be right. That's not that they haven't given me the

637
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: four els yet, but they I'm gonna get them four els,

638
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: four ls. That's a tough who has spent the most money.

639
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, even out though Gilmore will be four wins. Well,

640
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: I mean it's got to be. If it's not the Niners,

641
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: it could be potentially the Rams had some crazy yeah,

642
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: uh stood out. We'll have to get research to help

643
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: us out there. Bill signed to fullbacks. That was pricy,

644
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: a lot of fullbacks. Let's move on to the old

645
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: Zeuser who started out here with Brandon Marshall signs with

646
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: the Giants and that was the big score for me.

647
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: If you hit one on those, you're in good shape

648
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: for the entire round. And I got uh the old

649
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: Grand Slam Sangwich. As we talked about, I had a

650
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: p the Raiders. That's probably not gonna happen, but we

651
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: don't know yet. Most guaranteed money, I had this one

652
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: wrong dots a high tower. He did not stay on

653
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: the market perhaps is uh uh? He stayed on the

654
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: market longer than I realized. I thought he would be

655
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: a higher hotter property, but he wasn't. And then I

656
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: had Tony Romo signs with the Broncos and that that's

657
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: gonna cost me. I think Nick Fortier maybe on vacation

658
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: because some of these nets. He does a wonderful job

659
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: with this. But as you listed is six and up. Actually,

660
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: I think I'm six and four actually, And I think,

661
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: uh uh, Nick is a bad bad day for Nick

662
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: because he does such a good job at the board.

663
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: But how was he to know that we were going

664
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: to check in on the second Maybe we could have

665
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: given the heads up. You know, we don't tell Mr

666
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: f what's happening in his life. We don't tell Nick.

667
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: By the way, they're both getting paid the same amount

668
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: of money by us, which is zero. Moving on Connor

669
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: or his first full round would go get my lunch. Uh,

670
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: let's see what we got here. Most guaranteed money a

671
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: j Booyer. That's wrong team that signs Andrean Peterson the Bucks.

672
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Mike Lennon will not go

673
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: to a team and trenched as a starter that's a loss.

674
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: Reagan Mark both get sandwiches there, and Darrell Darrell Rivas

675
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: signs a multi year contract that is still hanging in

676
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: the air. Uh, Revas doesn't have a ups so we'll

677
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: see what happens there. And then finally, my brother Kevin

678
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: Danger hands Is got into the mix said that Tony

679
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: Romo would play for the Bengals Sydney. Why did you

680
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: not put me on that prop? That's an excellent question,

681
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: she she disobeyed my order. Yeah, it was a different day.

682
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: It was different. Yeah, I think it was. We tried

683
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: to get it. You're right, he was here, and I

684
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: think I actually agreed that he probably would go to

685
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: the Bengals. I explain it. I think we all tried to,

686
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, just steal sandwiches from him, and he wouldn't

687
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: allow it. Only I'll never see that sandwich, I can

688
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: guarantee you. Uh. And now let's let's take a look

689
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: at the overall standings right now, as where where do

690
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: we stand right now? It's just mostly just to stick

691
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: it to Greg a little bit. Well, but we just

692
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: established that it's totally wrong. All right, show show the

693
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: standings from that round, which are accurate, not not four

694
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: tiers Sydneys Are these are updated? Yeah, no, Sydneys as

695
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: in totally accurate. Let's say Sydney show the standing so

696
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 1: you have there we go, This is accurate, Mark seven

697
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: and four. I was six and four, Greg, five hundred,

698
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: Connor two and four, West two and seven. Those are

699
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: those are accurate? Right? No, they're not. At least have

700
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 1: at least more than that. That doesn't matter. It doesn't

701
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: matter that checks out for me making it making a

702
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: bad podcast. Um, all right, there are no repercussions anymore

703
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: for losing since we stopped uh ordering sandwiches. But I

704
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: think I think we should back. It's like your Blake

705
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: Bortles and you can spend the whole off season doing

706
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: whatever you want and there's no repercussion for ruining the jag.

707
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: This entire segment is really fitting in well with this

708
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: post truth world we're living in, Like the standings are

709
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: basically just made up. Struggling. So he's out on the segment.

710
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: This is classic Greg, You are not in first place.

711
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: You know that, though right you're willing to admit. He's

712
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: not going to admit that he can't do it. He

713
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: eats him up some much. I love it. You're dying

714
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: right now. I'm just trying to. I don't think you're

715
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: even point out that all these standings are totally off.

716
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: Even Sydney will admit you was trusting Nick Fortier. There

717
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: he's got it. He's got Greg. If we try to

718
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: get in touch with Greg tonight, it'll be we'll be

719
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: driving through a desert like gregor your windows down from

720
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: it's a city on the horizon. All right, So there

721
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: you go, go get my lunch. There's the update. Um

722
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 1: let's move on to uh, let's talk about it now. West.

723
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: First of all, do you want to share your little

724
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on or your big thoughts? I could say, on narratives,

725
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: what's your narrative angle? You want to talk about that?

726
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 1: As we talk about by Cell Hold on offseason narratives.

727
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what a narrative is. Before Peyton Manning

728
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: told somebody, I'm not I don't believe your narrative or

729
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: whatever it was a few years ago, a narrative meant

730
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: storytelling from one point of view. He's like, Okay, you're

731
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: gonna control somebody, You're gonna lead them along, and the

732
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: reader wants to know what happens next. What narrative? I

733
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: think what what people think it is now it's a

734
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: an opinion widely held by people and especially susceptible to snark.

735
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: That's what a narrative isn't But that's not really what

736
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: a narrative is. Narrative is not an opinion, but that's

737
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: the way people use it now. So I kind of

738
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: struggled to know like what people mean when they say,

739
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: what's an off season narrative? So it's kind of like

740
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: a story. I think everything you're saying is is a

741
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: good point, But I think it's essentially like a story

742
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: that that you're right, many people are telling themselves, are

743
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: telling the people that listen to them, you know, if

744
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: they're members and you. So it's everything that ever gets

745
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: said in the off season. No, I think it's like convence.

746
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: It's it's almost a shorthand. And this isn't maybe the

747
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 1: right way to use the word, but it's a shorthand

748
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: for conventional wisdom. I missed the words conventional wisdom, bring

749
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 1: the back conventional messaging, because I don't know if it's wisdom.

750
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: So we're what we're gonna do here now is we're

751
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: gonna throw out some conventional wisdom messaging League messaging. Uh,

752
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: we're not here to boil the ocean, gentlemen, but what

753
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: we want to do. That's one of the Corpo buzzwords

754
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: popped up recently that we made note of. Uh, and buy,

755
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: sell or hold on these things that are happening. And Mark,

756
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: why don't you get us going throwing out there and

757
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: let us know if you're buy buying, you're selling, you're holding.

758
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: All right, Let's say first that I love our corporation

759
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: and I love our sponsors's narrative. Let's try. I think

760
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: there's a lot of narrative type stuff. I'm with West.

761
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: I have no idea what a narrative is. It was

762
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: I struggled to come up with these, but here we go.

763
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of narrative e type stuff around Jay Cutler.

764
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna do this, he's gonna do that. So according

765
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: to many, Jay Cutler is done with football. He's happy

766
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 1: to simply show his butt two people on seaside cliffs

767
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: now and that's the extent of it. Do we buy it?

768
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: Done out gone? I'm selling that. Uh, where do you

769
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: where do you come down? I believe that Jake Cutler

770
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: likes to enjoy his off season the way that I

771
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: would like to enjoy mine. He has the ability to,

772
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: and he's out on vacation, standing over a fence naked

773
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: with his hot wife. That's what you would like to do.

774
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: I would love to be just out wherever he is

775
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: on this tropical vacation. And when football comes back around,

776
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: then you do. I am a married person. I would

777
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: bring my my spouse with me. Greg. But when he

778
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: has to get pulled into the life of football, and

779
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: then all the bullets start flying, quarterbacks go down, and suddenly,

780
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: Jake Cutler, his stock starts rising, his contract value starts rising.

781
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: He's had a big long break. He hasn't had to

782
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: go through the rigamarole of March through whatever. Yes, I

783
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be back in so I'm not buying

784
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: your selling. I'm selling it hard. He's coming back. He's

785
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: playing next season. In my book, I agree. Once the

786
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: off season starts in March and April in May, all

787
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: NFL executives over value draft picks and undervalue veterans who

788
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: can play, And by the time training camp rules around,

789
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: they start to value veterans again because the coach has

790
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: become more of the process. And I think at that point,

791
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: once you see an injury to a quarterback, Jay Cutler

792
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: is going to have his phone ringing perfectly said, alright, West,

793
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: your turn by cell. Hold all thirty two teams are

794
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: colluding to black ball the thirty second best quarterback in

795
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: the NFL. Well, we know where you're what you're doing,

796
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: but you should tell us. I'm selling the hell out

797
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: of that one. You've been selling real hard. What do

798
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: you guys think I'm selling? Because it's this, It's same

799
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: thing with Cutler. It's the next guy down that list.

800
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: If you really get into a position where you need

801
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: a quarterback forget all this business. Whatever you think about

802
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, you get it. You you have to sign it.

803
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be. It's a need situation. I'm selling. Not

804
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: only would they neither collude the it's just timing. I

805
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: think Keith going to be on a team I'm holding.

806
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: I think he might be getting black balled. Also, it

807
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: doesn't help his cause that he he hasn't been a

808
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: very good quarterback by all thirty two teams, though all

809
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: thirty two teams probably not, but well, don't interested, right,

810
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: there only be a handful that could even makes sense.

811
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean, right, that's not how the word black ball works. Right.

812
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: I don't think the NFL in general does things as

813
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: a whole. It is truly thirty two independent operations. I

814
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: don't think they're all on a conference call saying this

815
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: player doesn't get signed by any of us, and they

816
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: all say yes, I'm holding all right, Well, we try

817
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: to convince you. An opinion, just an opinion. It's it's

818
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: a it's an ugly situation with Colin Kaepernick. I'll throw

819
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: it out there. The Texans will be aggressive and targeting

820
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 1: a quarterback after the Tony Romo news. Now, obviously they're

821
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: gonna go get a quarterback. I'm buying on that, but

822
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: I will even take it a step further. They're going

823
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 1: to be hyper aggressive. They are going to go nuts.

824
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna do something kind of really on a surfacing

825
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 1: type move, which is trading way up in the first round,

826
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: I think, to get a quarter And I'll even throw

827
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: a team out there, a tier A team you know

828
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 1: West is near and tear to my heart, the Jets

829
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: with the fifth pick, Jets team looking looking for more

830
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: draft picks, uh and a Jets team that's not necessarily

831
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: looking for a quarterback that early. I could see the

832
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: Texans trading way up in the first round and getting

833
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback that they need to convince as their guy,

834
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 1: because it ain't Tom Savage. I know that I'm bying

835
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 1: that this is wish fulfillment for Dan and the rest

836
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: of the Jets fans out there. I mean, Rick Smith, Well,

837
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be the Jets. What I'm saying

838
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: that they aggressively and they trade up to get one

839
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: of these, like top three quarterback Mitch Mitch Robinsky. Smith

840
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: hasn't drafted a quarterback in the top three rounds for

841
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: eleven years. I don't know. I don't know if he's

842
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: gonna be trading up in a draft where people generally

843
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: think there could be many of the top quarterbacks available

844
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: at pick possibly all of them. Right you're at I'm

845
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: with you, Greg, You're talking about going from twenty five

846
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: up to potentially six or somewhere in that area that

847
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: is extremely expensive. The one visit that they've had that

848
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: is just interesting is Patrick Mahomes. That's a Bill O'Brien

849
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: type of quarterback. Potentially a lot of people feel like

850
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: he could fade into the second round even that a

851
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: lot of these guys are gonna be there when they pick.

852
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: So if it's a trade up, I could see it

853
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: being you gotta hop scotch a team like the Giants,

854
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: maybe that is looking for a post Eli type quarterback

855
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: or one of these teams a couple slots up. I

856
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: don't see going all the way up to five or

857
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: about getting in front of the Browns. It's we that

858
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: could happen that if they really or trade trade trade

859
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: with the Browns. I don't think they gave up their

860
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: second round pick to get rid of their last quarterbacks,

861
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: but they could they gave away next year. I mean,

862
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: you can talk about trading future draft picks. Maybe Cleveland

863
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: would trade with Houston. Here's another follow up question. Something

864
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: you said, what is a Bill O'Brian quarterback? Well, I

865
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: think we waited to find out if from the draft

866
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: that is, yeah, but I think it's more it's more

867
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: Jake Cutler than it would be called Kaepernick. I think

868
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: Jake Cutler really doesn't fit just because I think he

869
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: wants someone that you know, is known for reading coverages

870
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: and it can like figure out he puts a lot

871
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: on their plate and it's not Jake Cutler necessarily either.

872
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: I think that sounds like they they short circuited brock Osweller.

873
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm buying this for one very simple reason, because you

874
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, what is the most reactive move possible?

875
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: That's what I mean in the wake of Tony Romo,

876
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: because the Texans are always reacting to something at quarterback,

877
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: and now they're gonna be reacting to not getting Tony

878
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, so they're gonna be aggressive. Was there a

879
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: more reactive mood than move than Brian Hoyer crapping the

880
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: bed in the playoffs and then giving seventy two million

881
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: dollar contract to brock Oswa. I think without me that

882
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: had the owners sign on, we have to I think

883
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: in that organization specifically where the owners, that dictates so

884
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: much about what they how come no one is talking

885
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: about the fact that there's another professional athlete named Pat

886
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:12,959
Speaker 1: Mahomes his father. I mean, Pat Mahomes, is it really?

887
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: I mean that made me giggle as a child over

888
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: and over that just the that the name Pat Mahomes

889
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: existed and now it's back Troy Hawkins. Is it sounded like,

890
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, the al twenty years veteran reliever Hawkins stepfather.

891
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: That's a great that's a great. Uh bullpen he's got

892
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: as dad, And Daniel Jeremi is like, oh my god, alright, alright, alright. Uh.

893
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: My narrative is going to be the Atlanta Falcons will

894
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: have a Super Bowl hangover, and I'm going to hold

895
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: on that because I don't know how to feel about this.

896
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: I think Dan Quinn is uniquely geared and built to

897
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: fire up this team and get past it that he's

898
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: he's just the right attitude and I think he's so

899
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: positive in the energy, and I think they've got a

900
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: young defense that's coming together. That side of the ball

901
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: should get better. So there are logical reasons why that

902
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have a Super Bowl hangover. But man, that

903
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: that is as bad a loss as you'll ever see.

904
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: It's hard enough to just you know, bounce back like

905
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: we saw with the Panthers and repeat a magical season

906
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: like that, and you lost Kyle Shanahan. So I am

907
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: totally on the fence. I don't know what to think

908
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: about this Falcons team, but I think just writing them

909
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: off like they're not, you know, an elite quote unquote

910
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: team discredits a little bit what they accomplished on offense.

911
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: They should have won that Super Bowl. It was one

912
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: of the best offenses we've seen in a long time,

913
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: and they should be. We should be talking about them

914
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: as Super Bowl champions. It didn't happen. So I don't

915
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen with this team. I'm holding what

916
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: is hangover? Mean, like six and ten are now not

917
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: making the playoffs. I think anything short of the playoffs

918
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: as a hang over. If you make the playoffs, I

919
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: don't think you can say it's a hank. I think

920
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: this those special, like record breaking offensive seasons, when they

921
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: come come around, they usually don't get followed up with

922
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 1: another one. And I think everything worked and you had

923
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and I hate I hate to say it

924
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: because I feel bad for Falcons fans. I mean, it

925
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: was the Patriots of all teams that took it from

926
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: them all. So but I do get I kind of

927
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: buy that that was the window and that was They'll

928
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: never be as good as that an offense, and Matt

929
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: Ryan will never be that good again, and he might

930
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: be very good, but that was their season and they

931
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: just didn't finish. And it's positive. It's very possible to

932
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: me that they won't get back and there will be

933
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: a hangover. Here's what I like about this team last

934
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: year's draft. So many of those players that they drafted

935
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: directly that they developed them quickly and well, and they

936
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: all contributed to a team that went as far as

937
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: you can go outside of one bad quarter, one bad half.

938
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: I think they're going to continue to do that. They

939
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: have a good front office. Dan Quinn has gone out

940
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: of his way to talk to other coaches in other

941
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: sports that suffered similar total crumblings in the big in

942
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: a big spot, and I think the teams athletes today

943
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 1: are trained to move on. The fans we can't move

944
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: on from it, but a lot of these guys can.

945
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: And it's a new day starting next season. I don't

946
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: think it's a whole hole and they don't see a hangover.

947
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm selling. I'm so confused by the concept of narrative.

948
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: I had no idea this was even out there in

949
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: the football like discussion. It's all anyone talks to Dan

950
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: Quinn about. Every single football publication has had like a

951
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: feature about the Super Bowl hangover already. I mean, they

952
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: lost Kyle Shanahan, so it's easy for me to believe

953
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:38,439
Speaker 1: that they're not going to be as good. I don't

954
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: know about this specific Super Bowl hangover word, but yeah,

955
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be as good because they

956
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: lost Kyle Shanahan. It reminds me of when Pete Carroll

957
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 1: was asked four thousand and five hundred times about throwing

958
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,439
Speaker 1: the fasts instead of running the ball in the Super Bowl,

959
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: and that wasn't the end of the Seahawks, I think.

960
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: But have they come nearly as close since they had

961
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: a hangover. We've been in the division around both the

962
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: years since. So if if the Falcons given get back

963
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 1: and get back in position, and then I think they're

964
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: doing their job. What more can you ask for out

965
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: of an NFL team? It's tough, kind of a nebulous term,

966
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: but he said not making playoffs. Yeah, I'm saying if look,

967
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: the Falcons didn't come back close to the playoffs for

968
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: three straight years until last year. If they can establish

969
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: themselves as a team that's in the playoffs, in the

970
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: mix each and every year, I think I think they'd

971
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: be happy. Hey, time now, it's time? Now? Is that

972
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: it for the narratives? Maybe we'll have one more after this,

973
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: but time now for draft backs driven by Hunda. You know,

974
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: they gave us this this read to do and was

975
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: everyone in the media group has to do draft backs

976
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: and we're not really draft guys. But I was told

977
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: Sydney said do your best. We didn't even know that

978
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes, we could come up with the drafts back

979
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: of our own. Well there's Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes, father,

980
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Pretty good. I got another one. Okay,

981
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna get un What a what a better bond

982
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: than the one that you have with us because we're

983
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 1: giving you two draft backs. We're giving you a lot.

984
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,479
Speaker 1: What are you giving us? Here we go. I'm looking

985
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: for a car this summer. Just putting that out there again.

986
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: Here's a draft fact. Elton Patterson defense events Central Florida.

987
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: Selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with a two fifty nine

988
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: pick overall in the seventh round the two thousand three

989
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. He finished with one career sack in eight

990
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: games spent with Cincinnati and Jacksonville. There you go. That

991
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 1: was draft backs driven by Hyundai. Elton. How many Elton's

992
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: have there been in the NFL? I don't know, but

993
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 1: we have time for one more, Greg and you seem

994
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: to be considering it's pretty good that he got a sack.

995
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: At least he had. That guy can get in the

996
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: big guys. Got a motor for days wherever he is. Now,

997
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 1: you got one more? Do you want to get out

998
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: of here? By? It's up to you. You know, good one,

999
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: you're leading the way. Is it a good one? Be confident?

1000
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: Say it is? It's good? Alright, let's do it. Last one.

1001
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: West has been pedaling this car. You know. The super

1002
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: Bowl window is closing for the Cardinals. There's a narrative

1003
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: for you and that I'm selling it. I don't believe it.

1004
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't believe. I don't believe in windows generally anyways,

1005
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: the super Bowl windows opening closing. But I definitely don't

1006
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: believe it with this Cardinal. Why don't you believe in

1007
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: super Bowl windows opening and closing? That's a weird belief

1008
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: to hold because I don't. I don't think a window

1009
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 1: connotates like many years, it's either it's open or it's closed.

1010
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: Do they have a chance to win this year? Yes?

1011
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: I think they do. I don't think they're that much

1012
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: different overall than they were going into last year or

1013
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: even the year before that, and I think if everything

1014
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: fell right for them, yes they can be a content.

1015
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: This is one area where you and I will always

1016
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: differ because, and potentially to your credit, you look at

1017
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: the league and you feel like anything can happen. Any

1018
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: team can wind up at the point and I and

1019
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: I feel that four or five teams ops have a

1020
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: chance at the super Bowl. And they would have never

1021
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: considered the Falcons as one of those teams. And there

1022
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: was all right, So then the fifth team is a

1023
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: wild fifth or six team is a wild card team.

1024
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,760
Speaker 1: Were not concerned. We were indignant a year ago about

1025
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 1: considering like the Panthers or the Cardinals could could not

1026
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: even make the count that the Patriots are going to

1027
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: absolutely go back to the super Bowl. I would just

1028
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: say this that was guaranteed. There is the Cardinals. Thing

1029
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: does not come out of thin air. You've lost a

1030
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: ton of defensive talent. You're hoping that your quarterback suddenly resurges.

1031
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about teams where everything went right

1032
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: the year before. For the Cardinals, up until the NFC

1033
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: Title Game, everything was going right. They were essentially the

1034
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: Falcons of last year or the year before up until

1035
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: things the wheels fell off. I don't think they're going

1036
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. The team has a huge amount

1037
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 1: of pressure on them to nail this draft, to even

1038
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: get a roster in shape, even to compare with last

1039
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 1: years of the years before. I don't think they're going

1040
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. I just think they went down

1041
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: to the shop. Then well that's just of course. I

1042
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: don't think they're going. You only one team is going.

1043
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: They had their wings shuts. How about the chance this

1044
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: narrative you're spinning if their roster is the same as

1045
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: it was, like it's equally as strong as it was

1046
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: going in the last season. They're worse at quarterback, They're

1047
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 1: worse than the wide receiver corps. They're worse than the defense.

1048
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: Think they'll be better. Are worse at linebacker, they're worse

1049
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: than the secondary. They're based around one player. I think

1050
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: they'll be better at wide receiver for sure. I think

1051
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: they can get better play out of their line. I

1052
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: don't think their offensive lines worse. Why but they lost

1053
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: Evan Mathis he's not there anymore. Uh, Jared Elder's coming

1054
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: off an injury. I mean, who's who's better than they were?

1055
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: Like they're moving Bill Deer to write tackle it sounds

1056
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: like you're gonna put punt. I don't understand how you

1057
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: look at that. I don't think they're better. I just

1058
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm up. There's one of many teams that that have

1059
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,240
Speaker 1: a chance and not by somehow close I'm holding. I'm holding.

1060
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 1: Let's see what they do in the draft, because two

1061
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: years ago they got the best player in the league

1062
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 1: basically and and never been flaying about Kim Bomb and

1063
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: then he kind of do so well in the last draft.

1064
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: If he has a great draft and he's and some

1065
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: of these guys bounced back, maybe Honey Badgers gets healthier

1066
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer players like he did in the last half

1067
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: of the season. That's a big A couple of other things,

1068
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: uh come together. Well, you know, it's not like the

1069
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: NFC is is has these giants that It's not like

1070
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: in the a f C with the Patriots, and you're like, Jesus,

1071
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,919
Speaker 1: we we are really looking up at a monster. NFC

1072
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: is a little wide open. The NFC is a little

1073
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: tougher to get into the playoffs in general. The one

1074
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: thing they have going for them is that the NFC

1075
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: West is not what it was A couple you're right.

1076
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: I'm counting on a lot of their guys having better

1077
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: seasons than they did a year ago, Like Carson Palmer,

1078
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: like Tyrone Matthew, like John Brown, uh frankly, like like

1079
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians, right, and he Bruce Arians to me, and

1080
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: I love Bruce Arians. We all knew he seemed a

1081
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: little bit out of it last year. I don't know

1082
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: what it was. It wasn't the same guy. They're also

1083
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year. If their kicker was the

1084
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: so there, it wasn't like they had they were a

1085
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: train wreck last season. Just a couple of things. Just

1086
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: there was some Bruce Areans, Brandon Williams could be my

1087
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: starting cornerback, got torched early in the season. D J.

1088
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: Humphries can be my starting right tackle, got torched early

1089
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: in the season. All right before we go, We promised

1090
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: after the stunning and it was stunning to us too,

1091
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: even though it shouldn't have been. We lost track of

1092
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: the days in the weeks and the months the stunning

1093
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: acknowledgment that there are new sponsors with the podcast, and

1094
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: what did that mean? It was? It was, let's be honest,

1095
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a Tony Romo. Phil Sims scenario

1096
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: with the great Mr Flame playing the role of Phil Simms.

1097
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: Dare you compare? I'm just connecting it. I'm connecting it

1098
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: to current events. But the difference is this podcast is

1099
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: a class act and we could not say goodbye to

1100
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: to Mr F as a sponsor without speaking to him

1101
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: about to formally see where his head's at, see if

1102
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: he's okay with what's going on with our new relationships,

1103
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: corporate relationships. So let's bring him on the line. Now.

1104
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: You know where he's coming from. You know where it's

1105
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: coming from, the Hague, that Netherlands. Mr Flame, of his

1106
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: fame economics class, Welcome back to the Around the NFL podcast,

1107
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: Mr Flame, Thanks, thanks stand high heroes. You know now

1108
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: I want to just be totally honest with us here,

1109
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: Mr F. How surprised were you when let's call it

1110
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: the Hyundai bomb dropped? Well, it was a little, it

1111
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: was a little surprising. I was unfortunately a bad evening

1112
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: and I watched my Gonzega Bulldogs loose U n C

1113
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: and the sponsorship news came in on the same night.

1114
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe decided in the middle of the night,

1115
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: a little, a little blindsided, but not unexpected. Honestly, from

1116
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: everything we've talked about all year was just what's the

1117
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: next best thing for the podcast? And I think that

1118
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: two sponsors is a really really good deal for you. Well,

1119
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: you are an economics man, as we know, and uh yeah,

1120
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,479
Speaker 1: in terms of of the economics stuff. But I guess

1121
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: for the NFL it made sense. Mr Flame was so

1122
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: kind to us but paid us mostly and and things

1123
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: like sandwiches and warm regards, whereas these other companies are

1124
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: now coming with a whole coal hard cash. So I

1125
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: guess I'll say this as an economics man, even if

1126
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: you're a little disappointed, it makes sense. It makes dollars.

1127
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: That makes sense, right, oh totally? And and and also

1128
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:36,479
Speaker 1: think about your FI for all of the previous bits

1129
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: about the pea scale. I mean, come on, you got

1130
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: another company in Culver City. It doesn't get any better,

1131
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: That's true. That's a very good point by the great

1132
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: Mr Flame. Don't you go ahead? Greg? I was gonna say,

1133
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: don't you think it also makes sense? You know, Mr Flame?

1134
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: If if we're as classy as Dan just called us, that,

1135
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: maybe we would have told you at some point in

1136
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: between taping the podcast and when you listen to it, yourself,

1137
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: So I apologize for that that that's my own fault.

1138
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Oh no, don't worry. You guys are super busy, and hey,

1139
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: the offseason's time for uh for odd shows. Where when's

1140
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: the you know, the the classic religion podcast and the

1141
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: podcast and the novel podcast. It's gonna be great coming up.

1142
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you have a class that you've been teaching

1143
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: about this interaction with us and sponsorship. The final chapter

1144
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: feels a little grim. It's essentially a lesson on greed

1145
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: and corporate malfeasance and basically taking the four of us.

1146
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: At one point, we were getting great gifts from you.

1147
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: Now we are getting essentially nothing. Our our company is

1148
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: being rewarded. I don't what would you How would you

1149
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: explain this to a group of young teenagers in the

1150
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: Hague the Netherlands. Well, in terms of economics, it makes

1151
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: a lot of sense for the corporation, but I also

1152
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: think that there's an opportunity here for you guys. You're

1153
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to uh to make

1154
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: sure that these sponsors recognized that the heroes need a

1155
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: little cut of the pie. And UH would you like

1156
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: to represent us? I think I need to. I mean

1157
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: It's clear Sydney has already got one of the brand

1158
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: new Santa face for two thousand eighteen New Money's new

1159
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: car and me and he's has already convinced Mark to

1160
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: go back to underwear. So this is the perfect springtime

1161
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: for you guys. Yeah, you know what that's Mrs Positivity

1162
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: has always been such an amazing thing, and it's leaving

1163
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: us feeling better about how this is played out because

1164
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: it was ultimately it was another win for the big

1165
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: boxes over the little guy. But it just shows the

1166
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: conquering spirit of Mr F type, not to say, hey,

1167
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: let's look at the positive, look at look at the upside.

1168
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to look at that way I have.

1169
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: I've said several times that that Mr F as our

1170
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: sponsor is my favorite portion in the history of this podcast.

1171
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: I loved everything about it. Mr F. Did your sponsorship

1172
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: of us? Did it live up to your expectations? Oh?

1173
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: It exceeded it in so many ways. You can't believe

1174
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: how many fans have reached out to me just to

1175
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: say that the thanks that I'm sending you reflect the

1176
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 1: thanks that we all feel. You know, listening for so

1177
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: many years to your great show. It makes us laugh

1178
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: out loud, and and they have told me to tell

1179
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: you just you know how great a show it is,

1180
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: and that and that that's um why you know why

1181
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: we listen. And that has been a really unusual or

1182
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: surprising thing out of this. I thought it was just,

1183
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a one off six months ago.

1184
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: I just sort of said, now, we'd like to run

1185
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: these bits into the ground, um alright at Mike Flame

1186
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: one by the way on Twitter, and it would be

1187
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: I think also, it would be foolish not to to

1188
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: to leave you here without giving And we talked about

1189
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: this earlier in the week, Mark and Mr Flame it's

1190
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: become a real friendship. So we're gonna leave the two

1191
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: of you a private moment now to share your thoughts

1192
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: about each other. Go ahead, Well, doesn't feel very private.

1193
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 1: I have three people right around me, listen. I think

1194
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 1: Mr f the bottom bullet points set an all around

1195
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: great guy, and that's what he is. I mean, he

1196
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: came in and maybe if it had been a different

1197
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: type of personality, we would have said one week of

1198
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: a sponsorship is enough. But he didn't lure us in.

1199
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: I think he really showed us that he got what

1200
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: our podcast was about you though, Speak to Mr Flame.

1201
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: I this is Dan is a master of creating ultra

1202
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: awkward moments in my life, and this is another one

1203
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 1: of them. But Mr Eff, you are a friend of mine.

1204
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: You're a friend, You're a good man. Right now, definitely

1205
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: experience for me too. I've really really enjoyed the bit

1206
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: the extended. Sure, it's been fantastic, but could you make

1207
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: it a little more personal? Four mark, I don't I

1208
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: don't have a soundtrack and three people watching on my end.

1209
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:57,760
