What we're going 19 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: to get to that, But more importantly, I just wanted 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: to ask you both of you. First, Um, did you 21 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: miss me? Absolutely? We missed you and we missed you 22 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: on the podcast. It didn't feel right to uh not 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: have you in the seat with us. Second question, at 24 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: what point did you guys kind of look at each 25 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: other collectively and you know you just kind of thought, man, 26 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: this is a fun professional experience. It's about an eight 27 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: out of ten. But we know where that missing too is. 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think that was that was looming over 29 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: our heads the whole trip. Yeah, that was the you know, 30 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: if you want to it was the black cloud hanging 31 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: over what otherwise would have been a successful week. Um, 32 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: all right, good see, Now I could sleep at night. 33 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: I haven't slept in seven days wondering the answer to 34 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: those questions. Well, I don't think there's no uh, there's 35 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: no fibbing going on here. We really did miss you, 36 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: and uh it could have been a um, it could 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: have been a ten out of ten with our with 38 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: our fourth member. Alright, So there's plenty to get to here. 39 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, i should say, is indian in Indianapolis. Still, 40 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: he'll be back on Tuesday, and he will be on 41 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: the Wednesday show. So he's holding it down and we 42 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: might get him on the phone and a little bit 43 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: just to check in with him. Uh so big show today. 44 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk combine some some more takeaways from the combine. 45 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: Uh go down a couple of different categories. Will get 46 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: Greg on the phone. As I said, but before we 47 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: do any of that, the gold Standard behind the glass, 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: how are you, buddy? Yeah? Doing great? Thank you? And 49 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: you know, before we get to news, I do want 50 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: to say something that, yes, we missed you. If you're 51 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: about that, damn it. No gold Standard sat in on 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: the Damaschek podcast the other day and was went by 53 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: gold Tie, never corrected, never corrected Dave on that. I 54 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: just it was a bit of a traumatic time for 55 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: him not having black Tie there. I thought I'd ease 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: the transition as best I could, right, which I understand that, 57 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: but I thought maybe you could pull him aside afterward 58 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: and be like, hey, just so you know I'm the 59 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: gold Standard. I shouldn't. I've actually had a series of 60 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: horrible experiences recently where I haven't corrected people in the 61 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: first conversation when they get my name wrong, and that's 62 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: just a horrible slow to go down. Yeah, and I did. 63 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: I did air this grievance via Twitter with Dave, who 64 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: didn't think much of it. But yeah, so the gold 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: standards behind the glass, let's do alright, let's start with 66 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: the story of Monday. At the combine, of course, University 67 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: of South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney running um a 68 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: pretty magnificent forty Uh posted a four point five three 69 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: officially after unofficial times of four four six and four 70 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: four seven. Uh. This was obviously the buzz of of 71 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: the day. Um. You know, we even did a post 72 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: in the Around League blog with NFL players and Twitter, 73 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, getting all amped up about this. How unusual 74 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: it is to have a guy at six six to 75 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: sixty six running like a wide receiver and beating some 76 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: running backs. I mean, it's it's pretty crazy stuff. Um. 77 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: I will one thing I'll say and I'll throw it 78 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: to you guys, is how come a big storyline today 79 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: is still people kind of unhappy with this guy because 80 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: he sat out a couple of these other drills. I mean, 81 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: it seems like people can't get past this idea of 82 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: this guy is so talented and he showed it again 83 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: with his forty, but we don't know about him. That 84 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: seems to be the prevailing narrative here. Well, I thought 85 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: I watched all this stuff on my phone because the NFL, 86 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,239 Speaker 1: NFL dot Com, NFL Media, we have this great phone 87 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: app and I was able to track all of this 88 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: on my off day. So what stood out to me 89 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: the way West wearing a green shirt because it's the 90 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: color of money, because he's a corporate chill go on. 91 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 1: So what stood out to me was SAPs comments after 92 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: the forty yards basically calling him a dog on tape 93 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: that he takes too many plays off Chaps. Sap said 94 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: he was almost a shame, a shame to watch the film. 95 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: It's funny that you bring that up, because a day 96 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: earlier might have been Saturday. Again, I was alone in 97 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: the office, uh for most of the week, but Sap 98 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: rolled in at one point, I believe it was on Saturday, 99 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: and he was talking shop with one of our producers, 100 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: UH who goes by Giant, and they were going over 101 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: some tape of Clowney and Sap was saying the same things. 102 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: He he was watching the tape and he and he 103 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: was saying he was literally getting mad watching it because 104 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: the guys such a stud But then you look at 105 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: what he put on tape this year, and that's what 106 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: Sap is speaking about why he's so frustrated. Well, isn't 107 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: the issue there that people, I think are knocking him for. 108 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: You knew that if you were to get hurt, you 109 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: gotta play this season out if you're gonna stick around 110 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: and play college football for another year. But what's the 111 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: real upside for a guy in that position other than 112 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: you suffer a terrible injury and lose millions as your 113 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: stock your draft stock tumbles. I feel the same way. 114 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: I feel like people are not looking at this from 115 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: the human level, which is this guy. When he had 116 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: that huge hit where he blew up the guy in 117 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: the backfield at the end of the previous season, before 118 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: his final season at South Carolina, everyone knew this guy 119 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: was special and he had literally nothing to gain, at 120 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: least in a big picture sense, in a macro sense, 121 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: from from coming back and and going. So I think 122 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: it he pulled back a little bit, and I understand 123 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: why some people get mad at that, but I totally 124 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: get it. At the same time, it's his life. Yeah, 125 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: I could see how football people would say, you know what, 126 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: that a lot of people have nothing to gain by 127 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: playing in college, but you do it anyway because that 128 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: that's what football is you you go hard on every whistle. 129 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: So I could see the issue there, but I could 130 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: also see this guy's a freakish talent, and you win 131 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL with difference makers. He's the kind of 132 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: guy that haunts you if you if you pass him off. 133 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: It reminds me of when the Jets took Mohammed Wilkerson 134 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: and there were concerns that again immensely talented on one play, 135 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: but then would vanish on others. And I think if 136 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: you get him into the right locker room with other 137 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: guys that battle hard in that position room that you 138 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: know Clowney, it's gonna be hard for a team to 139 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: pass up on him. Yeah, it's a good point, and 140 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: I will say also, so I get excited as a 141 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: as an NFL fan imagining. I don't know this is 142 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: how this is going to play out, but um J. J. 143 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: Watt and Jadeveon Clowney on the same field together. There 144 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: has to be There have to be people in that 145 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: building that just salivate thinking of the upper upper if 146 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: this guy reaches his potential, how well set up this 147 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: defense and that franchise would be if they had two 148 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: of the most premier players in the league in their 149 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: prime lining up as long as Romeo Cornell doesn't use 150 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: his ends as like space eating run stuffers versus. I mean, 151 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: they're talking about them potentially being an outside linebacker in 152 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: that defense. Dan, Are you do you think they have 153 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: a possibility to be almost as good as J. J. 154 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: Watt and Mario Williams on the same defense. Mm hmm, yeah, 155 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I get no, it's it's fair. I I 156 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: just yeah, that's yeah, And I think that that's I 157 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: think ultimately the Texans probably will go the quarterback route, 158 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: but I can't is there any way that Clowney drops 159 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: beyond pick five? I can't see that happening. I don't 160 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: think so either. And I think this guy it shows 161 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: so much how the drafts and in exact science, you 162 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: can take these takes plays off things on tape and 163 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: you can say, all right, some guys have done that 164 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: before and gone into the NFL and become a bust. 165 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: Some guys have taken plays off and coming to the 166 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: NFL and then played balls to the wall and have 167 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: become all pros. So, I mean, how how is clowning. 168 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: We don't know how clowning is gonna work out to 169 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: that extent, But I just have a hard time saying 170 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna pass up on the guy who's obviously the 171 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: most talented player in the draft. Alright, Moving on the 172 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners, Jim Harbaugh Cleveland Browns triangle of 173 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: doom is really it's becoming a big story now. Obviously, 174 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: as we know, Jimmy has M, the Brown's owner, came out, 175 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: uh yesterday and told the USA Today reporter that they 176 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: had an opportunity uh to acquire Jim Harbaugh. He didn't 177 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: specify how you know what that opportunity entailed. And now 178 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: Jed York, who initially denied the p FT report or 179 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: that this was a deal that was in place, he 180 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: came out and told Peter King uh that and here's 181 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: the quote, the Browns reached out to me and we 182 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: had no interest pursuing it. So it's kind of hard 183 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: to say how far that guy then. Maybe we'll never know, 184 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: but one thing we do know, it seems like something 185 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: is up in that building in San Francisco. Yeah, I think, 186 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's time to stop worrying about the Browns 187 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: or Texas or USC side of this. It has much 188 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: more to do with the fact that those teams felt 189 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: like this guy can be pride away from the forty Niners, 190 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: that there's something that we're all hearing about that suggests 191 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: he's for sale. No one went and tried to do 192 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: this with Pete Carroll or someone else, So it's a 193 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: it's an it's probably one of the oddest stories we've 194 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: dealt with in a long time. But for me, it's 195 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: and we've said this right to start, it's a forty 196 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: Niner story. It has nothing to do with these teams 197 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: that really tried to go after him. There's a suggestion 198 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: that you know, we know him and Trent Balki are 199 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: there at odds at times, which can be healthy. I 200 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: guess that's sort of how Ian painted it. At times 201 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: it's seen as a healthy, uh conflict maybe, But long term, 202 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: if they don't value him the way he wants to 203 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: be valued, we know how this works, he won't be 204 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: there long term. I read Mike Silver's column today, the 205 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: one that came out today, and he talked a lot 206 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: about this. The forty Niners believe they can win without 207 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: Jim Harball. They think that Trent balky should get a 208 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: lot more credit for how he's built this team that 209 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: a lot of coaches canna win with that talent. And 210 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: we had an agent yesterday in Indianapolis tell us basically 211 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 1: the same party line that Hardball is good, but they 212 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: think they can win without him. I don't know, it's 213 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: not either way. I look at it hasn't been so 214 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: long since you have Mike Singletary and a cast of 215 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: other coaches who couldn't get the job done. And we, 216 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: you know, if Hardball we talked about why the coaches 217 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: get hired and stick around because they do something special, 218 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: and there isn't a coach out there. I don't think 219 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: the coaches quarterbacks the way that Hardball does. And you 220 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: can't just remove him and put in Jim, Tom Seuler 221 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: or some other guy and expect that to go as fluidly. 222 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: I think that's a tremendous loss of talent if he 223 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: went elsewhere. Mark, I have to ask you that since 224 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: West brought up the silver column, Uh, what is the 225 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: deal with the Cleveland Browns presenting to some of these 226 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: got these prospects a paper clip and asking them how 227 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: many ways it can be used? You know, at the 228 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, this first came out of the scene bowl 229 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: where people were saying that whoever's asking these questions for 230 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: Cleveland Scouts or whatever are have been asking the weirdest 231 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: questions going on months now, and I initially thought that 232 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: has to be an old regime issue, but it's clearly not. 233 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: And they used to ask people what can you do? 234 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: Tell me everything you could do with a brick, and 235 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: now it became this paper clip thing. I just find 236 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: it odd. I don't have any deeper football players or 237 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: the next mcgiver that is fair. You know what you 238 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: know it's great about the Iver jokes is that show 239 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: has been off the air for like twenty three years 240 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: and people just dropped the giver and it still works. Yeah, 241 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: clip and hairspray you can blow up a billion and 242 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: that doesn't work with other things you can't, like drop 243 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: a Mr. Belvedere reference and everybody like, oh yeah, I 244 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: know where you're coming from on this one, big boy Wesley, 245 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: or perhaps you can um one. I did love by 246 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: the way, Silver's take on what what he would say, 247 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: and I'll read it right now. We'll give Mike like 248 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: a shout out. As my computer, which loads at a 249 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: fifty s K rate, I can paraphrase it for you. 250 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: I want to get with this deserves the word word 251 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: for word action. Mike wrote, here's one. I could straight 252 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: it out the paper clip and stick it right through 253 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: my ear drums so that I don't have to hear 254 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: another one of these brilliantly constructed esoteric queries. Bang drops, 255 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: Mike drops, Mike, well done? Uh moving on, Michael Vick 256 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: could land with the New York Jets and free agency 257 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: uh NFL media insider Ian Rappaport reported Monday that based 258 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: on conversations in the past week, it's clear the Jets 259 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: are viewed as a legitimate possible landing spot for the 260 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: Eagles quarterback. According to a source and forms of the 261 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: team's thinking. One thing that kind of stood out to 262 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: me because I think Wes you have been You've said 263 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: before that maybe, uh, the Morin Wig Vic connection, it 264 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: could be a problem with that. According to the Rappaport, 265 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: the understanding is that there is a quote mutual respect 266 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: between the two men and this could be a good match. Well, 267 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: it's actually shifted. The report of that a year ago 268 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: about potentially was that it was that Vick and morning 269 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: Wig parted not on ill terms, but it was strained 270 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: and that might block you. But that's it sounds like 271 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: that's not the case. Now. It sounds like a very 272 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: sensible fit to me. We talked about this last week 273 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: that the Jets and vixing like a kind of the 274 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: most sensible fit of all the landing spots for him. 275 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: They're built to win now on defense, I think, so, 276 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: I think, why not go with the veteran ov over 277 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: a guy Geno Smith I didn't think was ready to win? 278 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: And Um the New York Daily News Miniche, one of 279 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: the friends of the podcast, had reported that Josh McCowen 280 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: was also talking to the team. Ian came out today 281 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: and said the same thing. So he's another guy that 282 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: would be a sensible fit. Maybe Vic has a little 283 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: more upside, uh for the team. I will present this 284 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: to you, Fells, and I agree with the both of 285 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: you guys. You're thinking. As a Jets fan, I think 286 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: it makes Vic makes plenty of sense. Get an actual 287 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: player in there behind Geno Smith, not in front of 288 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: but that will potentially well, I'll get to that. Um. 289 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: You know, last year they had after Sanchez went down, 290 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: they had David Gerrard. The remains of David Garrard Um 291 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: and Phil simms Son and not the good one. And 292 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: that's really saying something, right, so the less not good one. 293 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: Uh So this would really this is important to have 294 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: someone real in there. And I will throw it to 295 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: both of you, gentlemen over under. Let's say, let's go 296 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: with Mike Vick for the for for this exercise, Mike 297 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: Vick signs with the Jets in a couple of weeks, 298 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: over under that he's in the in the starting lineup. 299 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: I'll set the over under at week four West he's 300 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: gonna start opening game. Really, why would you pick? Why 301 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: would you pick Geno Smith the start? Start over Michael Vick? Well, 302 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: I think personally, John Izick, well, what do you think? Well, 303 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: I would really agree because the other thing that we 304 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: keep hearing about the Jets is that they're gonna go 305 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: hard after guys like Macklin. They're gonna go hard after 306 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: potentially a guy like Julian Edam, and they're gonna look 307 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: for receivers. And if you're gonna want to spend a 308 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: lot of money to change your offense, and you add 309 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: Michael Vick to the puzzle, I don't we don't hear 310 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: about a team going out and trying to find veteran 311 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: competition to push Andrew Luck. You only hear about this 312 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: when it's clear someone or some group of people in 313 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: New York are not happy with Smith and are looking 314 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: for ways to revive that offense sooner than later, right, 315 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: I mean it was obviously you know they rode the 316 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: Guinea Coaster last year, but that was also a guy 317 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: that was kind of pushed into that spot and and 318 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: wasn't ready and didn't have the weapons, And now now 319 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: he's going to potentially have some weapons. That's a second 320 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: round pick by John Edzac, the first quarterback he's taken 321 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: since taking over the team. I would think the organization would, 322 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: even if they have doubts about them, which is pretty 323 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: clear they do, Uh, they would be very open to 324 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: at least giving him a chance at first and then 325 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: not waiting too long and then bringing in whoever that 326 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: backup is. Uh. If if Gino gets out to a 327 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: slow star, that's just kind of how I see it. 328 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: But isn't it totally understand tough scenario If you're Geno 329 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: Smith and you're not playing well, like any young quarterback 330 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: who's not Andrew Luck might not play well out of 331 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: the gate and you've got Vic on the sideline. The 332 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: fan base is gonna go crazy. They're gonna be calling 333 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: for Vic by the third incomplete pass that sails over 334 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: a bad receiver's head. Rex Ryan doesn't strike me as 335 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: the kind of guy who would do it, just whatever 336 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: John Edzic said, even if it meant his team was 337 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: going to be less competitive. And yeah, and you bring 338 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: up Rex and it's a good point because uh Rex's 339 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: job is again on the line. Who cares what the 340 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: contract was. He needs to uh put up a winning 341 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: record in PROBA we make the playoffs, so he's not 342 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: gonna stick with Gino in real quick. It reminds me 343 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: of what Maron said in Buffalo about EJ. Manuel that 344 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't think these coaches, they all know they don't 345 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: have five years to develop a passer anymore. If Gal 346 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: Smith looks like a chaotic, half baked quarterback, you've got 347 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: to move on quick, alright, the gold standard behind the glass, sir, 348 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: Why don't we check We have one more, a T 349 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: L soldier out in Indianapolis. He is the boss, Greg Rosenthal. 350 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: We were thinking, let's get him on the phone and 351 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, talk a bit with Greg, see what he's got. 352 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: Leave no man behood. Here we go. Greg, are you there? 353 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: I am here. I am at Lucas Oil Stadium watching 354 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: an empty field. Beautiful thing. I watched Greg do some 355 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: work on camera NFL dot Com Live today on my 356 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: internal monitor. I saw Mark do work this week. Chris 357 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: Wessling did some work. But I did miss that, but 358 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure it was great. You guys really have a 359 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: lot of talent on camera, and I'm happy for you, 360 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: all of you. I feel like there's an air of 361 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: madness in this compliments, but I'm gonna take it. Well, 362 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: you missed the top of the show, so yeah, you 363 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: got it. Um, Greg, So you are, like you said, 364 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: you're on the ground still an Indy. You're back tomorrow. Um, 365 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: what's going on over there? You want to give us 366 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: any uh, you know, any nuggets you any stories for us? 367 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Well. Today was the Devan Clowney day. 368 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: And I like to say to Devon, not to Dave, 369 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: and that's that and h people were talking about that. 370 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: I was in an elevator on the way down to 371 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: the field. It was. It was well after Clowney was 372 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: done for the day and Mike Rabel, the new Texans 373 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: defensive coach, was on the elevator and some other text 374 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: and staff, and there was also some cult staff on 375 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: the elevator. No heat between them. Everything was nice. But 376 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: the second Rabel got off the elevator, you know, I 377 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: stayed on. Yeah. I heard of the Colts Stafford say 378 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: to the other guy, man, I hope they don't take Clowney. 379 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: And I think that's pretty much the attitude that that 380 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: the teams around around the Texans have that they're afraid 381 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: of basically facing Clowney a couple of times a year. 382 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: Very interesting. The upside would be that if you take Clowney, 383 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: you potentially are still stuck with case Keenamore, an increasingly 384 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: fast aging Matt Shops. Well, so you're still killing you 385 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: the thing that the other team doesn't want you to do. 386 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: It's like when when you're deciding whether to go for 387 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: fourth and one or if the other team would rather 388 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: you punt, then you should do the opposite. So if 389 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: that's how the Coults are thinking and clown and uh, 390 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: one thing. One thing. While the fellas were with you, 391 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: greg Um, you all bumped into a certain owner, didn't you. 392 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: Oh my, that was. I have never seen Mark Sessler melt, 393 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: as he said, like a piece of chocolate, more than 394 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: when he met Ground's owner Jimmy Haslem, the man that 395 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: not only his favorite team and uh the owner of 396 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: the team, but also the man that Mark has often 397 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: said is the best looking owner in football. Confirmed. Confirmed. 398 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: You know, listen by the way the PR guy told 399 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: him that I was a Browns fan. And then has 400 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: them came over, and I think he did. He looked 401 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: very closely at our name tags. He's probably to go 402 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: back through our you know, history of writing about the 403 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: team to find out which one of us will be assassinated. 404 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: He got the fist a fifth pound? You got a 405 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: fifth pound from Jimmy handling? Yeah, because he asked, you know, 406 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: he I explained how I became a fan of the 407 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: team when I don't grew up in Cleveland, and he 408 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: laughed and he gave me a fist bump, and then 409 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: we you know, he vanished into the mist, not with 410 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: Mrs has Not before you swooned like a schoolgirl. Was 411 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: Mark levitating? We should think it was thanks to Ian 412 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: Rappaport that it even happened, because he noticed Ian and 413 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: talked to him. And then he introduced us. So that 414 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: was a mensch like move from rap. Yeah. I actually 415 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: got a tweet from me and as it was happening, 416 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: Um said something along the lines that Mark was in 417 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: love and that hold on here. This was the exact 418 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: This was the exact tweet. Had Cecla just meet Haslum. 419 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: I can't say the rest of the tweet. Actually, well, 420 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: it was probably accurate to some degree. The second part. 421 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: You were positively glowing twenty minutes after it happened. That 422 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: it been like something inside of you had changed. And 423 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: I have never really I've seen you with your kids 424 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: and your wife. I have never seen you with happy well, 425 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: which was a special. It's quite a statement to make. 426 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not listen. I'm going along with this. 427 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: It's accurate. It's not maybe accurate quite to the degree 428 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: that Greg's painting Greg before you go anything else. You're 429 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: on the ground there. I know you're shaking hands, You're 430 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: you're in the mix. Anything else. Well, did you guys 431 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: bring up the jone Hosborne story. Yeah, that's the thing. 432 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: Joan Osborne. Why don't you gat what if God is 433 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: one of us? Joan, I'll take us through this story. 434 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: So this involves all of my brothers. We we hit 435 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: a bar. I would call it close to a dive bar. 436 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: And it was basically two contingents in there, the Wesleyans 437 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: and Mark and Greg on one side, and then a 438 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: group of lesbians, very attractive lesbians. This is this is 439 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: the time of the podcast, right. Sometimes it's not to 440 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: get nervous when West is talking. We've hit that moment. 441 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: Let's just keep moving. And there are two singers of 442 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: the lesbian acoustic folk variety, so we we know it 443 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: was advertised as a as as a get together, a 444 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: musical get together for these women, So gotcha go ahead. 445 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: So we all guessed, like which nineties era Lila Fair 446 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: type of song would be the next one played, and 447 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: Greg nailed it on Joan Osborne right off the back. 448 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: Literally first one starts playing. Wow, Greg, that's pretty impressive 449 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: of everything I've accomplished this week, you're really adding this year? 450 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: That was I was never more proud than that moment 451 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: to hit it on the first song. I mean it 452 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: was the next one place, So at that point I 453 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: was happy with my week. That is the song I 454 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: remember when it was popular, um the Catholic Church and 455 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: West as a fellow. At least you were once Catholic. 456 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: The church made a big deal out of Joan Osborne 457 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: calling God a slob like one of us. I remember 458 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: that the church often gets bogged down in these issues 459 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,479 Speaker 1: that are very important. Greg. Last thing before you go, 460 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: I am holding a paper clip. How many things can 461 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: you do with this paper clip? Oh? That's a stupid 462 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: brown question. We haven't talked about it. We had to 463 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: get to that. We have to. Uh, I don't know, 464 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: did you did you guys? You already talked about the 465 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: whole Harbor story? Right? Yeah, well I don't I have nothing. 466 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: All right, that's good, you'll be You'll be back on 467 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: Wednesday and it will be full plugged into the machinations 468 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: of the podcast. I can't wait to be there, all right, 469 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: Safe journey home, Boss here John Joan Osborne. It was 470 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: a class. It was almost a premonition. I wonder how 471 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: much of our audience knows that song gold Standard. You 472 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: don't know that song, right, you do? I remember I 473 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: went with Concrete Blonde, Joey. I went with a jewel song. Yeah, 474 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: I think which the which. By the way, these songs 475 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: were ultimately played, most of them if I had to guess, 476 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: because I know a fair bit of the Jewel single catalog, 477 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: I would guess that Jewel song that got played was 478 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: you Were Meant for Me. I think it was these 479 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: Foolish Games, Oh, foolish games. Well, and I also requested 480 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: foolish games. And that's what Mark made quick friends with 481 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: the lesbian folk to. I requested two songs and they 482 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: played both. I cannot believe I missed this night. Um, 483 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: all right, so good combine talk there by Greg. Why 484 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: don't we just stay on that topic for the duration 485 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: of the show. I want to ask you, gentlemen, you 486 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: were feed on the ground, the team after being around 487 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: all these teams, all around the personnel, the team that 488 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: you feel better about after a week in close proximity. 489 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: And I'll start with Mark Sessler. This is a weird 490 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: answer because, um, there's maybe not concrete evidence the way 491 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: we might be for other teams. But I'm gonna go 492 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars, and I think what we're starting to hear 493 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: is that they're open to They were going to maybe 494 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: not take a quarterback at number three, but they feel 495 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: like a real strong candidate to go Johnny Football. And 496 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: if that were to happened, right, if that were to happened, 497 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: that's a team that's defense played l down the stretch. 498 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: I really liked what Gus Bradley had to say this week. 499 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: I think they've got a good general manager as well. 500 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: They're kind of falling into one of these into the 501 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: group of teams where a coach and GM are of 502 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: the same mind on almost everything, and that bodes well. 503 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: I think they've got some young talent on both sides 504 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: of the ball. If you ever plugged in Johnny Football 505 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: and he clicked, everything changes and they they're in prime position. 506 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: You know, I went into the offseason annoyed because Cleveland 507 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: and Jacksonville have the same record. Cleveland lost to Jacksonville 508 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: and is picking one spot later, which I know that's 509 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: how the draft order thing works. That that irritates me 510 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: in the sense that if Johnny Football works number three 511 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: at jackson where that we're they're going the first team 512 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: that I think will take him, and it could change 513 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: everything for them. I there's a lot of hope. I think, Yeah, 514 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: I I think I agree with you, just because Shot Khan. 515 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: You know, from the moment he took that team on, 516 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: you could tell, like he's going to pour all his 517 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: efforts into raising them out of obscurity and trying to 518 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: make them something that people care about, which a clear 519 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: we don't, and this could like decide the fate of 520 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: whether they stay in the United States. Is an NFL 521 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: football team, who knows? And if you get an electric 522 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: guy like Johnny Football and if that works out, that 523 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: that is the home run that he needs to get 524 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: the franchise back on its feet. So it makes a 525 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: lot of sense to me. Wes I ask you, I 526 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: would say question, I would say, it's hard to say 527 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: I feel better about any team because you get very 528 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: few concrete answers out of these coaches and gms. We 529 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: don't know what their plans are. We can only speculate. 530 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: I guess I feel good about the Cardinals because I 531 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: liked Arians and Steve Kims so much listening to them. 532 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: And one concrete example at web Point too is the 533 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: bigger plans for Andrea Ellington. He's gained ten pounds and 534 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: it sounds like they're very excited about him playing a 535 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: major role in their offense. You're saying that these teams 536 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: are playing foolish games that are tearing you apart. Are 537 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: you concerned about the commitment to Carson Palmer long term? 538 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: Walking over my Jewel? Yerright there? To answer Dan first, 539 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: it would be inacturate to say I'm torn apart by 540 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't think right, I don't think I'm as invested 541 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: as much as Jewel was as a nineteen year old 542 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 1: Alaskan singer. Say what you will about Jewel, but she 543 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: was never not invested. Oh listen, she slept in her 544 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: van going from city to city. She wore hard on 545 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: her sleeve. Um Mark, Sorry, what were you saying? No, 546 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: I just are you concerned about what seems to be 547 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: like almost an over commitment to Carson Palmer, who is 548 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: still Carson Palmer. By the way, I wouldn't say I'm 549 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: concerned about it because I don't know that I have 550 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: confidence that they would find a quarterback in the middle 551 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: of the first round or in the second or third 552 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: round that would come in and beat him out. So 553 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: I think they're kind of when you're picking in the 554 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: middle or later, you're kind of stuck at quarterback. Anyway, 555 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: Is there a team either of you men feel worse 556 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: about after the week, Well, you know, I don't want 557 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: to go through this whole thing again, but that you're 558 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: thinking long term. I just see like John Schneider and 559 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: Pete Carol in her room just like dancing as this 560 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: forty Niners thing breaks, like they've got to be thrilled. 561 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: This is there was that house. Yeah, they were like 562 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: they're doing like a techno They're just they just turned 563 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: up the techno music and they are. You know. Greg 564 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: rosen Al, we found out this week is a very 565 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: is is quietly a gigantic techno music fan, by the way, 566 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: and he told us of a time in the nineties 567 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: when he dyed his hair jet black, and he claimed 568 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: it was a Nirvana era hair change, but I don't. 569 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: It's a hard long black hair parted in the middle. 570 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:32,239 Speaker 1: Pictures are it didn't happen. He claims it happened. We 571 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: hear a lot of stories about Greg's past. It's a 572 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: little nebulous and it's a little bit and I feel 573 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: like we're reaching the point where, although we obviously believe him, 574 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: we take him at his word, he's never done anything 575 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: to prove us that he's not trustworthy. At some point 576 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: we need some type of uh evidence that augments the 577 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: things that he says. Well, we can I'm sure we 578 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: can work on that. I think that he gave them, 579 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: you know, John Schneider and Carol one of the mixed 580 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: tapes that he probably listened to back in the day, 581 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: just a trance heavy and they're loving it because I 582 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: that my team's and Niners there, I think they're that's 583 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: long term. I'm concerned about that coach situation. I would 584 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: echo what Mark said and also echo Greg's pointed. If 585 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: other teams are happy you're doing this, that's that's a problem. 586 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: And I think I wouldn't have as much respect for 587 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: the forty Niners if Hardball wasn't their coach. You can't 588 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: argue with three consecutive NFC Conference championships. All right, let 589 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: me ask you guys, then I'll start with West this time. 590 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: Um again, you're around these gm s, you're around these 591 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: coaches all week. Name a guy that made a striking 592 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: impression one way or the other. Striking impression. I like 593 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: Dave Gettleman interesting, like a six year old guy who 594 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: got to start late in the game. I mean he 595 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: he came up through the system as a scout, worked 596 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: his way up, was in the game a long time, 597 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: but didn't become a general manager until late in his life. 598 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: You can tell he has concreing on ideas on how 599 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: to run a team and he's not really worried about 600 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: what anyone else thinks. That confidence shines through. He's a 601 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: straight shooter, my kind of guy. I mean, you tell 602 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: you the guy tells it like it is, Steve Smith. 603 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: We don't even know if he's gonna be on the team. 604 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: Because they were, they didn't want to give you any 605 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: phony answers. Yeah, he would. He would answer the reporters 606 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: and say, look, and they need to explain an intricate 607 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,239 Speaker 1: detail why or why something wasn't gonna happen, But on 608 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: matters of players specifically, he would say, that's part of 609 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: our evaluation and he would. You know, you believed him 610 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: when he said that is ongoing. We're still studying the tape, 611 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: looking at our plans. So yeah, I don't think he 612 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: gave us any big yes or no answers, but you 613 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: could tell that, um, he's he's working hard behind the 614 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: scenes and he's confident in what he's doing. You like 615 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: the old guys. Now you've turned old guys. Happy birthday, 616 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: by the way, Thank you, Thank you. Old guys are great. 617 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: Old guys Underrated. I think that the headline gold standard 618 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: of this podcast.

Um, now this is I was. 644 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: I should have qualified this by saying, you cannot talk 645 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: about Mike Pett.

Now, 653 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: Wesleyan actually did get him to say something about Michael 654 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: Bennett in his future with the team. But that's one 655 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: of the few times that he really gave information that 656 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: they wouldn't have maybe wanted out at that time. But 657 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: Schneider to me too, every time that we see him 658 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: with Carol, they are enjoying each other and hanging out. 659 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: They like they're they're cracking jokes to other. I don't 660 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: think it's that complex with some of these teams. If 661 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: the people making the decisions enjoy being around each other. 662 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: And we just saw what happened in Cleveland, whild that 663 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: a whole thing melted to the floor because you found 664 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: out they didn't in Seattle. I just think that's a 665 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: long term marriage that works because those guys just like 666 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: hanging out together. And you bring up Michael Bennett, we 667 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: should pour him out of a gentleman that was sitting 668 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: in the chair across from me a couple of weeks ago. 669 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: Read Bryant. Uh. There talks that he will be released 670 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: by the Seahawks to make room to sign Michael Bennett. 671 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: Red Bryant one of the great podcasts guests. Either ever, 672 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: he will land on his he will find another job. 673 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: He's no question. You want my striking impression please. Last week, Uh, 674 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: the guy that cleans the rest rooms here, I went 675 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: into the bathroom and uh and he was in there 676 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: with his stuff. And usually when that happens, you gotta 677 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: you gotta leave. But he said, come on, it is 678 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: this uh An attempt of contrast to try to suggest 679 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: to us that you've not had an interesting week. No. 680 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: Also another striking impression. I got to taco Tuesday in 681 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: the NFL cafe, striking it was great. Um, all right, 682 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: so yeah, so let's that was awkward. No no, no, 683 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: no no, no, let's keep let's keep moment. Okay, all right, 684 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: before we get out of here, I do want to 685 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: hear a little bit more about West's brothers. I mean, 686 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: are they all like West? Well, and so five brothers 687 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: showed up, and I it's weird because they all look 688 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: nothing like West. But they all look so much like West, 689 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: all at the same time, and there are none of 690 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: them are the same height. The height differential goes from 691 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: West's I think you're the are but he has a 692 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: brother that's probably six three. Honestly, it made me because 693 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: I have two sons in one thought that came into 694 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 1: my mind. I want to go have like six more boys, 695 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: because these guys like hanging out but also real with 696 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: each other. Where I was given information by one brother 697 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: to drop like a hot button topic that I knew 698 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: they had been arguing about for two decades and just 699 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 1: walk over and be like agree with me that Michael 700 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: Jordan is overrated. A converse like an argument. You can 701 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 1: tell they've had four thousand and eight times, and Wesley 702 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 1: was at the point of the night where it worked 703 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: every time. And yes, they just went at each other. 704 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: They were so fun to hang out with. I hope 705 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: we get to see him again.

And 709 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: you know, I take a lot of pride in that 710 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: that all my brothers are fun to talk to. When 711 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: I was at the Super Bowl and talk to your brother, 712 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: I felt the same way. Your brother Kevin is everything.
