8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: a great time. Got in Friday night, went from the

00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: airport to hang out with my softball buddies. Hung out

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: for a while, then met with my family, brothers, mom,

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: everything on Saturday. And then I met up with my

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: brothers and a and a really good friend on Sunday.

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Again good time. Have to have that skyline Chili. I

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: did not have skyline Chili. I did have the Roses

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: pizza though. Five five Westling boys in one place or six? Uh,

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: there were five of us in one place. And then

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: the next day a different one came to Yeah, what

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: was the We were guests on the over under beers

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: drink forty three and a half where we finish. I

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: thought it was thirty four and a half. Three moved

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: it up? You did? I thought it was forty three?

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: Did I say thirty four. I feel like it would

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: have really undersold you. I was told on the Saturday afternoon.

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: I got several texts, was you know what? Because it

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: was three days, so I figured out if you had

26
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: like a ten a day, thirty four and a half,

27
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: that's what it was. I arrived a little eight Saturday

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: to the festivities, and I got several tests asking texts

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: asking if I had too much white zimfandel. I didn't

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: know where that came from. That is your new drink.

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: According to one conversation that I believe we had at

32
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: one point, interesting, you had a private conversation where you

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: talked about your love of sugary wine drinks. I've never

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: been a big sugary wine drinker. I didn't think, so

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: no I checks out for me. I didn't count. I

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: think that's probably in the neighborhood. Um See. The tricky

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: part gets to be a lot of these beers are

38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: like twenty two ounces, so I count doubles on those.

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Oh it's it's well over, Hey made is proud, And

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, we worried that maybe Sidney wasn't gonna make it,

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: make it back, not Sydney. Excuse me, Colleen, wasn't gonna

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: make it back alive from UM. Same to Dan, what

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: women women women are? Actually, no, there's no It's easy

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 1: to tell woman woman from the next just like a man. Yeah,

45
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: it goes a joke. It's a very harsh accusation. I

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: forgot what I was saying. Oh, I never thought you

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: were in any danger. Despite how much alcohol you were

48
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: gonna imbibe, and despite you and the brothers getting into

49
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: some dukes of hazard stuff, I knew you would come

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: back safe because you always do. Yeah. I mean there's

51
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: a question that I asked myself every time I come

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: back from Tyby or Cincinnati? Is it worth it too? Really?

53
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Rage that hard for a few days, my body doesn't

54
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: function right for another week afterwards. You're getting a little older,

55
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: I know, and get a little older. You know. It's

56
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: like either on one hand, you think you're some aging

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: like duplicate of Archer from the cartoon, or you're just

58
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: some pathetic losers so you get to justify it somehow.

59
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: So we're still in the window where you're not functioning

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: correctly physically or mentally. That's that's correct. We have We

61
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: have a new UM softball season West starting next week,

62
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: will your body and mind be right for that it will.

63
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: I have chosen to kind of um not stress out

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: about softball until I actually see who's going to be

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: out there and what night we're playing. But as you

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: can attest, there are some issues that we have to

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: get through we're working on at all and when we

68
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: do figure it all out, Strike three Europe. God, I

69
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: thought there was another one. There is Canadian baseball players

70
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: and umpires, I guess is what they are. Anyway. Good

71
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: to have you back West and the Shield does begin

72
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: their defense of their two thousand sixteen Los Angeles County

73
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: championship next week. So very exciting times inside the building.

74
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: But we have a lot to get to today on

75
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL pie cast a show. Oh what

76
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: doesn't this show have? We have a lot of news

77
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: to get to. We have a special guest. We are

78
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: going to um breakdown. I need a little help, need

79
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: a little help with the Graybeards this year. UM, I

80
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: have a general my San Diego Graybeards free agents that

81
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: are not attached to a team. UM. I have a

82
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: basic roster, but I have some holes and I figure

83
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: I could lean on you guys to help me filling

84
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: the filling the dots, filling the blanks, something like that.

85
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: I've been preparing for the this role our whole life,

86
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: to be assistant GMS to a meaningful football team. Well Marks,

87
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: the GM or has some capacity of the shield. So

88
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: this is nothing new to you. You're you're in the

89
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: front office as as things stand. Yeah, I mean the

90
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: GM thing. Last year, I recommended eight players. None of

91
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: them were brought aboard, so I considered it a bit

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: by the end. And at this point I am just

93
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: a viewer. I will go into view the game. So

94
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: you've resigned office. I'm doing no less as a GM

95
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: by doing that. Okay, all right, Well we'll work that

96
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: out to a lot, a lot of work out. Um

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: so yeah, a lot to get to. Great show, very exciting.

98
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: Did I mentioned a special guest, special guest on the way,

99
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: But before we do that, let's hit some news. Said

100
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: the friend champaign was that less Saturday. It wasn't far

101
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: the great orson Wells. I seek out that on YouTube.

102
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: Mark and I were having a nice time on Friday

103
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: afternoon at the office playing that at a lot a

104
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: loud volume. Short didn't annoy anyone. Now, people thought those

105
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: guys are working hard as always right over there in

106
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: the corner. Um. All right, let's start with a little

107
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: Tony Romo talk. Tony Romo is still on the Cowboys. Guys,

108
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: it's almost April. Tony Romo was not on on the

109
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: X sence, he's not on the Broncos. He's still technically

110
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: a member of the Cowboys in the most literal form

111
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: a sense. And and guess what, we don't know if

112
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna even play football. We gotta factor that in

113
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: more seriously now. According to NFL Network insider Ian Rappaport,

114
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: both CBS and Fox have expressed interest in hiring the

115
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: quarterback as a football analyst for next season, and he is,

116
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: according to rap Sheet mulling offers for both of them.

117
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: Romo turns thirty seven next week. Obviously body that's very

118
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: beat up. Uh. He is obviously the best option on

119
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: the open market one. I'll be it with a ton

120
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: of risk for whoever would invest in him. But the

121
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: idea of a TV job is greg a really Uh

122
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: it seems like a realistic possibility here. And then one

123
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: other note from Jane Slater here at NFL Network. She

124
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: reported on Tuesday that Tony Romo has taken the situation

125
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: very personally in Dallas and has distanced himsel of from

126
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: teammates and coach who were quote team doct So let's

127
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: start there. How do you What do you make of that?

128
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: I think that's natural. You run a team. You if

129
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: you feel like it's your team, especially I'm the Dallas

130
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys quarterback, You're gonna take things personally. It's something that

131
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: I think will be figured out over time. I'm sure

132
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: he's still close with with many of the people that

133
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: The key thing to me is that Jerry Jones is

134
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: not on team doc. I mean, he's on Team Cowboys,

135
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: but he and Tony Romo are tight. And that's the

136
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: key part of this story that that Tony Romo and

137
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones visited this week and Jerry Jones said they're

138
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna be visiting again soon. So there's no animosity there,

139
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: and that to me says a lot. That says to me,

140
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: Tony Romo is fine with being in career purgatory right

141
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: now as he figures some things out. The fact that

142
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: he's talking to Jerry Jones regularly. Has it occurred to

143
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: you that maybe Jerry Jones is doing Tony Romo a

144
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: favor keeping the keeping the spotlight off him a little

145
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: bit from the Texans or the Broncos or anyone else

146
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: while he decides whether he wants to be in TV

147
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: or on the football field. It reminds me uh boomers.

148
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: Sizing comes back to the Bengals after four years away

149
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: with the Jets and Cardinals, plays the best ball of

150
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: his career for about a month and a half, post

151
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: a one oh seven passer rating. Bengals want him to

152
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: be the quarterback and Mike Brown advises him to take

153
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: the Monday night football offer. He never plays another down

154
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: to football again. Wow. Yeah, I mean I think when

155
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: all this initially was happening last season, Romo never would

156
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: have predicted that one year later he might be broadcasting

157
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: games from the booth. But in a way, unless he's

158
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: really in love with one of these other options, unless

159
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: he's burning to go do this, these offers don't always

160
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: come around. This is a great opportunity. And really, you

161
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: look at for instance, he knows Troy Aikman. You look

162
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: at what happens to Troy Aikman's post playing career. It's

163
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: an unbelievable run up in the booth. I don't I

164
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: think that it's give Romo time to decide what he wants.

165
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: And all these people saying, what about the cowboys treating

166
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: Romo as a favored son and letting him go do

167
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: what he wants release him. Well, they've given him hundreds

168
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: millions upon millions of dollars. They've treated him very well.

169
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: I think they're in constant communication. They're probably fine. Uh.

170
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Moving on, gentlemen. We talked about it, uh in some

171
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: previous podcast. But the rule changes that the NFL owners

172
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: meetings we talked about was proposed. Now we have a

173
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: better idea. In fact, we know what passed and what didn't.

174
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: Here's something that's out. I'm bummed about this one. No longer, guys,

175
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: can you leap over the line on a field goal

176
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: or extra point attempt to block a kick. It used

177
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: to be if you could clear both lines without touching

178
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,239
Speaker 1: anyone who was fair game for a block. They decided,

179
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: and there was Bruce Arians was vocal about this that

180
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: that was putting people in danger, specifically the snapper on

181
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: the play. So now you cannot do the leap anymore.

182
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Seattle weeps. There another world rule that past automatic objections

183
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: now for egregious shots to the head. I think that's

184
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: in line with the increased safety measures the league's taken

185
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: the last five years or so, and then centralized replay.

186
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: No more under the hood. Say goodbye to going under

187
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: the hood, because now everything goes through Uh Dean Blandino

188
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: at the home office and the NFL on Park Avenue.

189
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: And it's a good time to be Dean, who is

190
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: feeling himself right now? And I got Actually, I reached

191
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: out to Dean Blandina. Didn't think he would get back

192
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: to me, but he did. I said, Dean, your thoughts

193
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: on this new measure that gives you a little more power?

194
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: You ask me if I have a God complex. Let

195
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: me tell you something. I am God. A little surprising

196
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: that I took it in that direction, pointed comment. Yeah,

197
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: but big, big day for Dino. Yeah, I think that's

198
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: a good idea. Struck me a couple of years ago.

199
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: Why haven't they already done this? But uh, if you're not,

200
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, my only take on the NFL's rules is

201
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: if you're not going to fix the catch rule, I mean,

202
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: at least to make the game go faster, Well, I

203
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest significant change. These were low wattage

204
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: rules changes that aren't going to impact a ton. Even

205
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: even the defenseless player thing where they're reject them, that's

206
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: just like an emphasis. They already could do that. They're

207
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: just saying start doing it a little more. Uh. The

208
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: Blandino thing is significant because I think you get more consistency.

209
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: The fact that they're deciding now all replays, even if

210
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: he's right or wrong. You would think that they're gonna

211
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: have more consistency of like, this is what we're doing

212
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: because instead of having all the different referees deciding, you're

213
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: having one person to side and it saves time. That's

214
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: the biggest thing here is that you're not walking across.

215
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: They think they can save like thirty seconds per review.

216
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna have the official just look at this the

217
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: game is what I heard. Yeah, official look at a

218
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: tablet and that is huge to just save a little

219
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: time from that. What happens when there's like seven one

220
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: o'clock games exploding at the same time, there's three or

221
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: four repeat you know, reviews going on at the at

222
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: the one moment, what a Dean Blandano. We has to

223
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: run around the control center, the nerve center, like making

224
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: quick decisions on this, this, and this. I mean, he's

225
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: gotta have a vice president, right, yeah, Albert, but then

226
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: it's but then it's not just deand he needs a

227
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: consigliari is what he needs. But I think river On,

228
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: I would think that if if, if they broke it down,

229
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they did all that, it probably doesn't

230
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: happen too often when there's more than you know, two three.

231
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: I think your scenario was like six different Well, I'm

232
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: just saying no, if there were seven games happening at

233
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: the same time, and there were three review scenarils like

234
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: the end of one the beginning of another saying, oh,

235
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna clip three minutes off a game, let's find out.

236
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's by the way, it sounds like a

237
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: kind of a stressful job. I hope they're paying him

238
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: some money. I mean, it's crazy. I'm not worried about that.

239
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: I've seen Dino walking around in Super Bowl week. He's

240
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: got a nice wardrobe. I'm sure they're treating him. Well.

241
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: Let's be to so I don't wanna denigrate what they

242
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: do over there. It's not the hardest job. Typically, sometimes

243
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: there's a crazy play where it's like Uh. And they

244
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: talked themselves into things being more difficult than they are.

245
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: With the catch rule. Usually it's like, oh, was his

246
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: knee down? No, is the ball out? All right, let's

247
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: move on next bang. But I'd bang it out immediately

248
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: reach out. It's not like it's jack hammeron concrete and

249
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: the Georgia's son. I mean, let's calm down. Yeah, that's

250
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: the thing is, it's gonna save time on the sevent

251
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: of them that are pretty clear cut. That's where it

252
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: would drive you crazy as a fan when it was

253
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: so obvious, and then you'd wait two minutes just sitting

254
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: around and I am bummed. I am bummed. That did

255
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: not pass. I don't think it came particularly close. The

256
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: redskin proposal to place the ball at the twenty yard

257
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: line if they had to dry it, puts it through

258
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: the uprights on a kickoff. Oh what happens to multiple

259
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: helmets and color schemes? That's gone. No. I thought you

260
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: were gonna say the Redskins proposal, Uh, to opt out

261
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: of color rush. They had to withdraw that. That didn't

262
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: even get to That was senseless. That didn't pro color rush.

263
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: You know what that well, that's right. You liked it.

264
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: That was the NFL dropping the iron fist on the redskins,

265
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: and mean, like, get that out of our good luck

266
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: Joan of Arc signing with Big Football? Is that what

267
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: you're doing more? I like Color Rush because by the

268
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: time it's November and you're watching two terrible teams play

269
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: each other, spice it up a little by tabled the

270
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: overtime shortening to for now. Alright, that's fun. I have

271
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: a proposal to get rid of color Rush and replace

272
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: it with throwback uniforms on Thursday. I love that too.

273
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: I would sign off on that. All I'm saying, it's

274
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: not just not the same thing again. Moving on. You

275
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: know when we had our You're the GM segment a

276
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back, I believe Richards Sherman came up

277
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: and and with that in mind. Speaking at the annual

278
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: league meeting on Tuesday in Phoenix, Seattle, general manager John

279
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Schneider did not rule out a move involving Richard Sherman

280
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: going to another team via trade. Here's what Schneider had

281
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: to say. I mean, we'll listen. Was he wearing a

282
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: shirt during this No one knows. We listen to like

283
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: every thing you would think we're in a lot of stuff.

284
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: We try to pride ourselves on that. I think I've

285
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: told you guys before we walk away from of the

286
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: deals that were involved with we're talking about. But at

287
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: least we know that we've knocked down their door, We've

288
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: gone in there and checked it out. We're not just

289
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: going to assume we We always just have to be

290
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: constantly thinking about the organization and how we're going to

291
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: move forward. Wes, you're seeing through this right. He is

292
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: not answering the question in that way unless there's a

293
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: little fire to go with the smoke. I think it's

294
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: more like, if you want him, come knock our socks off,

295
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: and he's available, but we're not going to actively trade him.

296
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: And Pete Carroll said, I don't see anything happening at all.

297
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: But what's I guess what's the difference, so Ian reported

298
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport NFL Network insider who's John Gonzalez though uh

299
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: Connie Fox's husband okay, thanks good Ian reported that the

300
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Patriots did call about him before they signed Stefan Gilmour.

301
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: These this interest does not happen in a vacuum. Teams

302
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: find out that that he's possibly available they put it

303
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: out there that he's possibly available talking about it publicly.

304
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: I think to your point, West says, you know that

305
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: he could be available. If you asked about Russell Wilson,

306
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: they would say that would never happen. I think if

307
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: you asked about Richard Sherman two years ago, you would

308
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: say that would never happen. The most interesting parts of

309
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: of what Carol said on Wednesday to me was talking

310
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: about what Richard went through last year. He said, what

311
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: Richard went through a lot last year, most of it

312
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: was self inflicted. I know that there's been a lot

313
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: of issues and stuff. I'm anxious to see him handle

314
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: everything and do well and represent himself and teammates in

315
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: great fashion. You know, inherently he's saying he didn't handle

316
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: himself too well before. Richard Sherman was also asked about

317
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: it earlier this week on ESPN and said, I laugh

318
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: it off. It's funny to me. Sometimes you need to

319
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: people need to see you gone before you realize what

320
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: you had and before you realize what you had. And

321
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: so I think there's there's something here that these two,

322
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: whether it's Carol and Sherman who went after it, a

323
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: couple of times last year. They're not seeing quite eye

324
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: to eye, and if they could get a genuine offer

325
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: for him, maybe maybe they would take it. Greg sniffing

326
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: it out over there, I agree that's well said. Moving on,

327
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft also was an attendance at the owner's meetings,

328
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady and how much longer it tends to

329
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: play in the NFL came up, as it always does.

330
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: Now in the past, you've heard Brady talk about he's

331
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: play until he's wants to play until he's fifty, until

332
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: he's forty five, just playing into his forties. He's gonna

333
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: turn forty in August. Uh. Now, Craft is giving a

334
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: window uh into Brady's future here. It is as recently

335
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: as to three days ago, he assured me, He assured me,

336
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: even we need a little thrown of ease for this,

337
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: and oh my god, as recently as two or three

338
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: days ago, he assured me he's willing to play six

339
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: seven more years at the level he performed. There's no

340
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: one who would be happier than I am in our

341
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: fan base. When you think about it, there's one player

342
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: at the age of forty who had one good year

343
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: far with the Vikings. I think Tommy sustained excellence is

344
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: just unbelievable. That certainly is Mark. Do you buy it? Mark?

345
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: Do you let's cut through all the bs here? How

346
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: many more years? All kidding aside, how many more years

347
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: do you think the Patriots can get out of Brady?

348
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: If you if you really had to get this right,

349
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: I would put it at five. Because here's the thing.

350
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: I when other players say I'm going to continue on

351
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: for this much longer, or coaches say it about a

352
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: player a lot of it's hot air or its hope.

353
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: But with Brady, he's done about as much up to

354
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: this point as you could imagine a player doing at

355
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: this age, and is all in on his health, his

356
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: wellness and breaking new ground in terms of keeping his

357
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: body healthy at this age. Now, if he can't do it,

358
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: I can't pick another player that would. Remember about four

359
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: or five years ago, Peyton Manning when he was still

360
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: an m VP candidate or maybe even the m v

361
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: P was on the Bill Simmons Show, uh and Bill

362
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: Simmons asked him, how long do you think the like

363
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: longest tenured NFL quarterback could play at a high level?

364
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: And he said forty two years old, and he had

365
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: really specific reasons for it. That's about when Brett Farr

366
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: fell off the map at forty two. I think Brady

367
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: is totally in a different category. And I think he's

368
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: elevated the wellness and the fitness part of it, as

369
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: Mark said to it to a new level that other

370
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and other NFL players haven't reached. And I think,

371
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: if we're being honest, I think mid forties is realistic. Right,

372
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: there's I mid forties as Tom Brady now? Or do

373
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: you think he's kind of a lesser player? History tells us.

374
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: History tells us that established quarterbacks do not gradually decline.

375
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: The fall off is sudden. I mean yeah, I'll say probably.

376
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: The obvious play is no one has any clue and

377
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: if he played one more season, that wouldn't be a

378
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: total stunner. He's obviously like any player at his age

379
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: one injury you know way that he that you could

380
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: do nothing to prevent uh in terms of training, like

381
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: a broken leg or whatever. Like away from reconsidering you

382
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: know where where he's at in life, and I I

383
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: do think, you know, saying six seven years, who knows,

384
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: maybe you know, maybe he can't, maybe you can't. There's

385
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: absolutely no way to know, but it does feel a

386
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: little bit like, Man, if if you were Tom Brady

387
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: right now, wouldn't you be feeling like you can do

388
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: absolutely anything. I mean, they just won two out of

389
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: three Super Bowls when he's thirty seven and thirty nine,

390
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: So he thinks he's super human, and maybe he is

391
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: super human or maybe like in two years he has

392
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: the GLI significantly that wouldn't shock me, and just based

393
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: off of what he did that he thinks he's super humor,

394
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: I think he's fully, fully, completely bought into the principles

395
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: that he's using. And I don't understand, right, but if

396
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: they were going in seven, no one would care. No

397
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: one would care about his health. It's noteworth. It's the

398
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: fact that he's good. It's the fact that he's at

399
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: the top of the shop. But we're we all, we

400
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: all that that's the basic what we get, that he's good,

401
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: But it's we're asking him to continue to be Tom Brady,

402
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: not just be on the field. And I think we're

403
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: saying that Tom Brady is not going to hang around

404
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL as a beyond the pale, unserviceable player.

405
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: He was too much pride to do that. We're talking

406
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: about how long can you be a good quarterback. I think, honestly,

407
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: he's recreating the way that players eat, the way that

408
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: they keep their bodies intact, and I don't understand why

409
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: more quarterbacks don't follow suit. One thing we know about

410
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: aging and declining players is as the season goes along November, December, January,

411
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: their production tails off. And it's noteworthy that he said

412
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: in each of the last few years, at the end

413
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: of the season, his body feels as fresh as it

414
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: did in Week one, and much fresher than it did

415
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: ten years ago. He was on a ski hill six

416
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: days after the Super Bowl saying he felt better than

417
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: ever he and you know what, maybe it's hot air.

418
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: But I don't think I think it's all true. I

419
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: just think when you're throwing six seven years around, it's like,

420
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: here's what's gonna be the Patriots in six seven years.

421
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: Almost no one that's on the team now will even

422
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: be on the team in six or seven years. It's

423
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: so far in the future. It's just kind of like

424
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: throwing numbers out there. I don't think the borderline off

425
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: season troupe this time. Tom Brady's got another five to

426
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: ten years. I'm thinking as someone as a team in

427
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: the division, it's gonna be a couple more years. I

428
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: think where he's Tom Brady, I I now after what

429
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: we saw last year, but I will see he could

430
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: do all the eating habits and all the workout habits.

431
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: But to your point, Greg, one shot to the shoulder

432
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: one well, that's get caught underneath it. But that's or

433
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: it's the offensive line in the players around him, Like

434
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: if he was if he played in this playoffs like

435
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: he did in the playoffs, or you know, after the seasons,

436
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: like we would be talking differently about him, Like careers

437
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: have ups and downs in terms of performances and people

438
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: around it. Yeah, he's better now and it's not just

439
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: a fitness in the wellness you're not allowed to hit

440
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: quarterbacks anymore. He's in the right And one last thing,

441
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: watch out for Jimmy Garoppolo. I mean, if the Patriots

442
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: do intend to hold onto him and Brady declines a

443
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: little bit, they might It's not crazy to think that

444
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: they can make a decision and then kind of forced

445
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: Brady's hand. I want to be shocked if he retired

446
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: in two years. I mean, it could happen. He's forty. No,

447
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: and there's been there was some talk. I mean, if

448
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: he won another Super Bowl for all the things that

449
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: he said, you know, maybe then he would I mean,

450
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: who knows what. Uh, let's move on to a quarterback

451
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: that will not be playing in the NFL into his forties,

452
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: Brock Osweiler. Rick Smith. Rick Smith, the general manager of

453
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: the Texans, was able to trade Oswiler to the Browns.

454
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: I had to give up a second round pick to

455
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: do it. And now McNair, speaking to the Houston Chronicle

456
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 1: at the annual league meeting, had this to say about

457
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: that trade. It was a shocker to me. McNair said,

458
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. I couldn't believe that Rick was able

459
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: to pull it off. Greg thoughts about that line. I

460
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of people saw this quote around the

461
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: NFL and thought, man, Rick Smith has Bob McNair under

462
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: his thumb. He has somehow convinced him that you know,

463
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: McNair that that Rick Smith. First of all, the trade

464
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: very well, if not probably wasn't his idea in the

465
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: first place. And then b big deal. You he's getting

466
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: all the credit for getting rid of Oss Widler and

467
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: almost none of the punishment for signing him in the

468
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: first place. I think it really speaks to how close

469
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: Rick Smith and McNair are that I wouldn't if I

470
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: had to guess who's gonna last longer in Houston, Bill

471
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: O'Brien and Rick Smith, And there have been reports those

472
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: two don't see I'd I'd stick with Rick Smith. M

473
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: It's like mcmick, I don't know. The Hunter counterpoint. It

474
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: was the owner, uh that came out after Hoyer's melt

475
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: down in the layoffs the year before that said this

476
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: is not gonna work. I need another option at quarterback,

477
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: kind of forced the g m s hand. I still

478
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: believe in my heart of hearts that Uh Smith maybe

479
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: got Oswilder pushed into his lap a little bit and

480
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: felt like he had to make that move, and maybe

481
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: this the owner like in his own way, being like, hey,

482
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: it was my mistake. Smith did a great job bailing

483
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: us out here. It's another way to look at it. Sure,

484
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: and McNair kind of buried Osweiler indirectly in these quotes too,

485
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: by saying, you know, well, we didn't get a chance

486
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: to meet him. That's why it's something you talked about

487
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: Dan on this show. It's like it's one of the

488
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: casualties of free agency in these days. You know, we

489
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: didn't really get a chance to know what Brock was like.

490
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 1: He said that a few times like so once he did,

491
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: then you realized he's he's a third. I dispute it

492
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: from a from a business angle. You're an owner of

493
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: an NFL team, You've been in business successfully for decades.

494
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: You care about value, you care about investment, and you,

495
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: whether it was Rick Smith or whoever, the Hues and

496
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: Texans made a very bad investment, Rick Smith helped, no

497
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: matter what happened before, helped reverse a lot of that,

498
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: getting a lot of money back into the owner's hands.

499
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: That's how you make businessmen happy moving by by making

500
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: him pay millions and millions of dollars. But yes, I

501
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: get it, the latest chapter. I'm not saying the entire thing,

502
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: the latest chapter. He's happy today. If it's the full

503
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: review of Rick Smith, maybe they're a little bit off

504
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: base on that. Another Quarterback Talk Team president of the

505
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins, Bruce Allen's had an interview with AM in Washington,

506
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: and he emphasized that the organization has reached a quote

507
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: one consensus about the desire to sign Kirk Cousins to

508
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: a long term contract. I know Sydney likes it. All own,

509
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm down back there, said, here's the thing, guys married,

510
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: he's sleep releasing viral videos of announcing that he's having

511
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: a boy. Hands off Sydney. Yeah, I mean, here's here's

512
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: the thing about that whole situation. I feel like Kirk

513
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: was said as like the example of what I want. Okay,

514
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: I just want to make that clear. I'm not creeping

515
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: in on a married man. Okay, it's good. You don't

516
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: want to get that. You don't want that scarlet letter,

517
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, pinned to to your blouse. Bruce Allen added

518
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: that the Redskins have had some quote very good discussions

519
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: with Cousins Camp, but acknowledge these deals are often delayed

520
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: until closer to the deadlines of life fifteen for franchise

521
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: players to reach a new agreements. West Alan finished, it'll

522
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: take some time. We've obviously proposed and we want a

523
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: long term marriage with him. Read into it. Baby. Bruce

524
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: Allen loves that marriage line. He uses it all the time. Um,

525
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: I know Redskins fans don't believe much of what Bruce

526
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: Allen says anymore. This is a bit of a shift,

527
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: though some would say it's a major shift, and reports

528
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: were that maybe Bruce Allen was the one holding up

529
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: actually signing kirk Cousins to a long term deal when

530
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: Scott mccluhan wanted to do it a year and a

531
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: half or two years ago. So this is a shift

532
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: that if there's one consent, is that now we want

533
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: him on a long term deal. And the other major

534
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: part of this was he was asked about would it

535
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: be a failure, would it be a worst case scenario

536
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: if the Redskins actually had to use the franchise tag

537
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: for a third year and pay pay kirk Cousins about

538
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars for three years, And Bruce Allen says, really,

539
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: we have him under contract for this year and we

540
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: view it as an option for next year, a thirty

541
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: or four and a half million dollar option. Mm hmm.

542
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: That's where the Redskins are at quarterback right now. It

543
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's They don't view him as a

544
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: guy who's automatically gonna end up with Kyle Shanahan and

545
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco anymore. Hmm. I don't know, guys, I don't

546
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: know if the Redskins are making good decisions right now.

547
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna get this one right. Ultimately, Yeah,

548
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: I I appreciate what he said. I'm also spending the

549
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: next month or two and just not listening to the

550
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: Redskins if not the next year or two. It's fair.

551
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: It's a fair stance on your point, more annual league

552
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: meetings stuff. Saints coach Sean Payton so the team would

553
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: not sign Patriots corner Malcolm Butler to an offer sheep

554
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: that would give up the number eleven pick, Peyton said, currently,

555
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: it's my understanding that he hasn't signed his tender. We

556
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: can sign him to an offersheet. But I don't think

557
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that and give up the eleventh pick.

558
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: In fact, I know we won't do that. So it

559
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: is what it is right now. Greg. This seems to

560
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: be going back to um what you hypothesized a couple

561
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: of weeks back, that he might just end up still

562
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: in New England this season and then who knows after that.

563
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: Three point nine one million is a great bargain for

564
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots. It's also you know, I think what quadruple

565
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: the amount of money, if not quintuple the amount of

566
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: money he's made in his career to this point. If

567
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Saints can't figure out the terms

568
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: and they're struggling too, and I think kind of need

569
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: a deadline, which to me is either the day he

570
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: needs to sign that tender by which is I think

571
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: a or it's the draft. It doesn't surprise that this

572
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: is going to go up until the draft that they're

573
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: kind of just negotiating publicly. So I don't know how

574
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. But it would be great to have

575
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler try to win the Super Bowl. Try to

576
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: have the best team you can possibly have this year.

577
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: I mean if you have not that they couldn't win

578
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: it without it necessarily, but right why not if they

579
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: if they really they're going all in if you have

580
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 1: Butler there, and then you're also gonna have Garoppolo as

581
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: the Brady insurance. I mean, Vegas is gonna take them

582
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: off the board. I mean, the Patriots will be such

583
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: an overwhelming favorite to me and even Greg, I know

584
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: you don't like to look at things that way, but

585
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: who's who's gonna be a bigger favorite of the Patriots.

586
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: If all these things fall into place for them. I

587
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: I agree, and yet I think the most overwhelming favorite

588
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL would never have a greater than fifty

589
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: fifty chance to win the Super Bowl. So you can

590
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: say they're their favorite compared to other teams, but you

591
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: would always I'd always take the field. I mean, so

592
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: many things can happen in football, not to mention it's

593
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: a single elimination, Like, yes, you can maybe pencil them

594
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: into be one of the final eight teams with a

595
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: home game. Would be surprising if he didn't have that.

596
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: But that doesn't doesn't mean you in the Super bo

597
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: It's just it's just offseason chatter. I mean he saw

598
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: two years ago. Look at the tool attrition takes. When

599
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: Leek one week, you lose Edelman, the next week you

600
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: lose and Ammundolia, lose Dion Lewis, you lose gronk All

601
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: in successive weeks, and then you lose half the offensive line,

602
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: and now you're talking about a team that materially is

603
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: so much worse than it was a month ago. I'm

604
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: trying to think, who have been the biggest um favorite

605
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: entering uh the next a new season. I would look

606
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: back at some of those old Niners teams with Montana,

607
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: like the Niners rolled in and they absolutely unstoppable. Absolutely,

608
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: I think those Niners teams, but even more recently, maybe

609
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: a two thousand eight Pats would probably be up there

610
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: when they came up with eighteen and one the two

611
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: thousand five Pats after they're back to back titles. But

612
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: beyond that, non Patriots related it might you might have

613
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: to go back to the Cowboys maybe, and so what

614
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys always had the next version of the Niners

615
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: teams battling in the NFC was voted back then. But

616
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: you have to look for when, like the a f

617
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: C right now, and I know Greg doesn't like this theory,

618
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: but beyond maybe one or two other teams in the

619
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: a f C, the Patriots again, just from where we

620
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: stand today, if everything stands as pat they roll right

621
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, and they roll probably right into the

622
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: super Bowl. There aren't two or three dynasty type teams

623
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,719
Speaker 1: in the a f C out there to challenge them.

624
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: Not saying things can't happen, but in terms of creating

625
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: a favorite, the a f C is barren of other

626
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,239
Speaker 1: teams to challenge them. Speaking of Sean Payton, he had

627
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: this to say at at the breakfast when someone asked

628
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: what he liked about new guard Larry Warford. He's got

629
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: ass and mass. We have a saying ass and mass

630
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: kick ass that Mark. You had a similar saying when

631
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: you were a single man in the mid auts on

632
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: the bar scene. Is that correct? Yes? I was, Yes,

633
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: I'll go along with this. Yes, I man, you just

634
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: hap me on the shoulder and go yo bro a

635
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: s and mass up in this piece, I suddenly had

636
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: a Massachusetts slash, some sort of New York accent to

637
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: go from Connecticut, so you could go in both direct. Yes,

638
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: you know. Used. Does anyone else think Sean Payton starting

639
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: to lose it? He's turning into a cartoon villain every year.

640
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what's going on here? He was always a villain,

641
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: now it's more cartoonish on the end around I I

642
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: post posed the idea that instead of the do your

643
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: job banner at the practice facility with Sean Payton's head

644
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: just as head and then ass and mass there and

645
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: down to the people motivation alright, that that's what's happening

646
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: in the news alright, promised a special guest. So we

647
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: do around here, we make promises and we deliver, under promise,

648
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: over deliver. I always say that to Greg. I say, Greg,

649
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: now that you're out of the management game, Um, next

650
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: time you go in. That's the type of philosophy you

651
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: want to put out there. So what happened? Greg? We

652
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: under promise? You said, oh, we might have somebody, but

653
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: we we said we are going to have somebody. We

654
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: might have somebody, but we didn't say who. We didn't.

655
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: We didn't really care. It wasn't on the marquee. But

656
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 1: now it's time to over deliver because on the line,

657
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: right now, look at damn in hurry Instagram they stop

658
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: that bars because on the line, I think from North

659
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: Dakota is the legend, the wondrous Little Debbie. Oh my god,

00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: staying in like Ramshock hotels? No, I'm a cheap, cheap woman.

682
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm out here in like an suv just pushing it.

683
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 1: You have an suv, but then there's an eighteen wheeler

684
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: behind you with all the cakes. That's how I picture yes,

685
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: exactly all right. Now, if you're a fan of the

686
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast, you no doubt remember little Debbie,

687
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: who is you know, one of the best rappers in

688
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: the game. We love her. She's the official rapper around

689
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast Hip Hip Hip Hop Dynamo, who um

690
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: from Northern California. And when we were talking about the

691
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: team of around the NFL last summer and just talking

692
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: about football, Little Debbie was was kind enough to come

693
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: into the studio and we talked. We talked cakes, but

694
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: we also talked the Raiders. And that's why we have

695
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: Little Debbie on the line right now, because we know

696
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: you're busy, Little Debbie. But I'm sure you heard the

697
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: news that the Raiders are leaving Oakland. Your takeaways, Yeah,

698
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 1: they are, They're leaving Oakland, and uh, I'm a little upset.

699
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm a little upset. Yeah. I mean last time we

700
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: saw you, I believe market Little Debbie was wearing her

701
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: Khalil Mac jersey. Yeah. And you, I mean, I would

702
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: imagine that you are a friend of Las Vegas in

703
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: the general sense, but I mean, you think about how

704
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: Oakland is San Francisco kind of thumbs its nose down

705
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: in Oakland up in the Bay Area. To lose the

706
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: Raiders and then to lose them to Las Vegas. Are

707
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: your emotions in a jumble they are. I mean, I mean,

708
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of like I'm still shocked, and um,

709
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: I just feel like, you know, they might get them

710
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble out there. I don't think they're

711
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: gonna stay stay very like stay long out there. I

712
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: think they're going to maybe go out there for a

713
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: couple of years and then and then kind of just

714
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: stay f that and come back on it. Wow. That

715
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: is is that breaking news from a little debbie that

716
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders will only a brief amount of time offend anybody.

717
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want to offend anybody, but I

718
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: think that's what kind of sports is all about, offending people.

719
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I'm all for offending people. But

720
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: I just feel like, Yo, we can't lose the Raiders. Man.

721
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: I'm like what, like, like what all the tailgating, all

722
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: the parties, all the going hard and now and now

723
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: they're going to go to Vegas. Like I feel like

724
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm being abandoned on my mother, Like you know, the connection,

725
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: what is the connection? Like in Oakland and with the Raiders,

726
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: like the because people think, okay, Raider Nation, they're going

727
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: to travel, they'll be fine somewhere else. But but what

728
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: what what is it like being a Raiders fan up there.

729
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: I mean, we go hard, we go really hard, we

730
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: turn up, we turn out, we come through, and we support.

731
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: So I mean, everybody loves Vegas. I love Vegas. It's

732
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: a great place. You know, a lot of fun is

733
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: hot there. But I feel like a lot of people

734
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: that work and you know, are based out in the

735
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: Bay are gonna feel some type of way naturally, you

736
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And they might not be able

737
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: to make it to every game that they used to

738
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: make it too when it was at home in our

739
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: in our city. Well let's I mean, and let's cut

740
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 1: through this now, because you're you're hoping, or at least

741
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: um theorizing that would be possible that they go to

742
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: Vegas and come back. But the hard truth, and we

743
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: could give this info, is we follow the game closely.

744
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: In the business of the game. They're building a stadium

745
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: out there in Vegas, a brand new stadium, and this

746
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: is the real deal. It is very likely that they're

747
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: going to be in Vegas for a long time. And hey,

748
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: but what's wrong with our stadium? Well, it's kind of Well,

749
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: the consensus of the public is that it's a dump.

750
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: And the whole reason they're moving is because they couldn't

751
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: have build a new one. Have you been to uh

752
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: the Oakland Stadium they currently plan. I haven't been in

753
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: like the last year because they delivered m I just like,

754
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: stick it up. I don't get it. I mean whatever.

755
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, I'm just over here given

756
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: my two cents. But I do believe that they will

757
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: come back, whether they're the new stadium or not. And

758
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: that's when I'm a vote with Are you still a

759
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: Raiders fan? Yeah, I mean I am. I can't. I can't.

760
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: Just like I'm not going to give up on them

761
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: like that, you know what I'm saying. People gotta do

762
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: what they gotta do. Um So, if you're in Vegas,

763
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: if you're in Vegas and you're playing a few years

764
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: from now, you're in Vegas and you're playing the MGM

765
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 1: Grand or something, you're really blown up and the Raiders

766
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: are in town, You're okay going to the stadium in

767
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: Vegas or would that feel a little weird for you?

768
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: I mean really dope to see a lot of like

769
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: Oakland stands from Oakland in Vegas supporting the Raiders. I

770
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: think that's what they they will need. Um, and I

771
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: would definitely love to go to a game just to

772
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: see what it looks like because if our stadium is trash,

773
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: I want to see what they got going on, you

774
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I want to see what they're building.

775
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: See that. Well, this is interesting. So Little Debbie is

776
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: of the contingent of Raiders fans that disappointed in leaving

777
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: Oakland when that happens, whether it's twenty teen, but doesn't

778
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,759

825
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,799

826
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: a little Debbie. All right, So we got her. It

827
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: was good. I'm happy because I was nervous that it

828
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: was gonna be a situation where she was going to

829
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: be broken hearted and down trodden. But I also it

830
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: also kind of feels like Dad's got so much stuff

831
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: going on, like she's I don't think she's like tethered

832
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: entirely to the Oakland Raiders. It's funny. While while we

833
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: were talking to her, an email jumped into my Gmail

834
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: from the Oakland Raiders. Here is the headline, secure your

835
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: Las Vegas statement deposit. I don't think so. Why are

836
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: you sending that to me? Yeah? How did you end

837
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: up on that? I don't know. Raiders got to calm

838
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: down a little bit too. I mean they they said

839
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: I for the most part, I thought Ownership said the

840
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,439
Speaker 1: right things and all that. But then they the team

841
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: website released a story that then they tweeted out from

842
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: their Twitter handle like reaction to the big move, and

843
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: then it was just the story, just all positive tweets

844
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: about how exciting this is and how this is a

845
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: whole new era. It's like, guys, we get it. You're

846
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: you're on PR point right now. But let's not hide

847
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: this store. It's up Verry the lead in a big spot.

848
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: It's a bad day. It's a bad day for us,

849
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: bad day for David Eally found out he's trash from

850
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: a little debbie. At least at least he's got a

851
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: new ring tone. That should be it because her just

852
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: saying that obviously, please all right, see under promise over deliver,

853
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: you do it. I think I told you that once.

854
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: Good business lessons being handed back to Greg after he

855
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: initially told that to you. I don't think you ever

856
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: said that to me. Um. All right, now, let's talk

857
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: a little gray Beards, the San Diego gray Beards. No

858
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: big is the San Diego Gray Beards music. It's kind

859
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: of genteel. But time just wilmbledn't start this morning. All right.

860
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: We're a classy outfit. We're like the We're like the Maras,

861
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. You know. We're highly respected in

862
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: league circles because we do things the right way, and

863
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: that's why we were the St. Louis Graybeards. Uh and

864
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 1: we're sorry people of St. Louis. But when San Diego

865
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: lost their team, we deemed that even worse. So we

866
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: gray Beard territory. Yeah, we hoped down to San Diego

867
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: and now that's where we're doing our business. So if

868
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: you're unaware of what the gray Beards are, it's a team,

869
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: all right. I put together the best remaining free agents,

870
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: put together an entire roster of the best remaining free

871
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: agents out there, and this year is a little more

872
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 1: fun than past years, because there's a lot of juicy

873
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: names out there, a little bit more than the last

874
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: couple of years, for sure. And I had some positions

875
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: kind of figured out and I'm gonna write about this

876
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: later in the week. But then I said, you know,

877
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: I got some heroes that I can lean on here.

878
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: Uh if we just go down the roster and uh,

879
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: figure out how to build this team, build a champion.

880
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking to build a team that, if you actually

881
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: put them on the field, win about four games. I mean,

882
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: that's a good challenge and it's possible if you pick

883
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: the right players here, I think better than the Jets. Yeah,

884
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: that's a good Season's that's fine with me. I don't

885
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: want like a George late period Seorge at George Allen

886
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: read Skins type team would be the Browns winning three

887
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: more games. Um So there's a it's not like the

888
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: Browns did something hard last year. Um So there's this

889
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 1: crusty old m R L on our website at this point.

890
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: It was great for a while there NFL dot COM's

891
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: top one oh one, but now it's kind of been

892
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: devastated by just the ravages of time, much like Tom

893
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: Brady soon. So a lot of people may not be

894
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: hitting it anymore, but I'm still hitting it because there's

895
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: still value to get here when I see who's still

896
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: on the market. So I've gone to NFL dot com

897
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: slash top free Agents. I've looked at free agents by position,

898
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: and let's start at the quarterback position. I need a

899
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: starter and at least one backup, maybe two because these

900
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: are veterans. Again, most of these guys are gonna be

901
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: north of thirty years old, hence the Graybeard's name. And uh,

902
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: right now, I have it at starting Jay Cutler backup

903
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: r G three, and then Ryan Fitzpatrick first got to

904
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: get the phone call. I mean I would have Ryan

905
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: r G three. I mean I would not have r

906
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: G three. Not a traumatic season without Ryan Fitzpatrick last

907
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: year with my real team. I understand everyone traumatic seasons

908
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: with r G three, right I I feel like RG

909
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: three should not be near anyone's roster. I could come

910
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: up with five to ten quarterbacks I'd rather have, including

911
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: one which seems obvious. Um getting a lot of attention.

912
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 1: The Graybeards are looking for some buzz. Give Colin Kaepernick

913
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: a chance. Certainly I'll played three last year. Are you

914
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: you know what and and maybe this is just because

915
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: he's not viewed as just a guy in a roster. Uh,

916
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: he's a whole thing. Well he's not even on our

917
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: list here? Well why not? I mean he he lost

918
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: the job to another free agent. Blame Gabbert. I'd go

919
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: right here, you know, stort by position and do all

920
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: sorts of things. Good point by Mark? What was that? Mark? Sorry?

921
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about Colin Kaepernick who lost his job.

922
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: To blame Gabbert? Who I think I'll played Colin Kaepernick. Wow? Yeah,

923
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: but he might put some that last year. I mean,

924
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 1: he came back, he wasn't healthy, ended up taking the job,

925
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: he kept it for eleven games. He got Matt Barkley

926
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: on a trash team. I mean, I I Colin Kaepernick

927
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a bad second. I'll tell you what. You

928
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: know what, Matt mcgloyin, No, Matt Little Gyn is not

929
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: gonna make this team. I like Cutler because he's just fun.

930
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: I think Kaepernick is going to give us the publicity

931
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: we need. Uh might put some meat in the seats,

932
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: which is always good down there in San Diego. So

933
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: let's go with that. Let's go with Cutler and Kaepernick

934
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: is my one to um West. Do you approve of this?

935
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: And and with Fitzy first call, Chase Montata still out there,

936
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: isn't it now? I got signed today by the Saints?

937
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: Did he? Cutler? Kaepernick is a better combination than more

938
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: than a few teams in the league have. That is

939
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: funny that the Jets are have been tied or actually

940
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: employed all these guys would a mess. Our backfield is loaded,

941
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: all right? Our backfield is a job. Well, won't be me.

942
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: There we go, You ready, Adrian Peterson? Come on down?

943
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hey, you wanna playoff team fifteen rushing leader

944
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson? How about you want a nice one to punch?

945
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles? Get healthy down back, Jamal Charles. I got

946
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: a tremendous, tremendous um medical team. Who are two players

947
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: overrated on our top one O one list? Not at all.

948
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: It's not It's not whether the NFL teams which are

949
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: sheep all stand in line and have the same position

950
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: on him. It's what they do. During the two thousand

951
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: seventeen season, Greg Rosenthal, and thank you. And also we

952
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: had Arian Foster rings really high. I need to have

953
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: a thumper in there. A guy just in case I

954
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: run into injury issues with these two older So what

955
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: am I? I'm gonna get the guy who had eight

956
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: teen touchdowns last year, Garrett Blunt, come join me? Oh yeah,

957
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: Peterson Charles Blunt. That's the best running back corps I've

958
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: ever had In this exer? Is this being done earlier

959
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: than in years past? I feel like this was in

960
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: the dead of summer one year. No I published it

961
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: a year ago. Yesterday last year. It's usually right around

962
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 1: the beginning of April, end of March. All right, fullback,

963
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't even have to go around John Coon's on

964
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: the market, I believe. Do we even use a fullback?

965
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 1: He is not. He's signed another one sts tough news.

966
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: But there's other guys out there, all right? Who else?

967
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: Don't think you need a fullback? Jerom Felton Zac Line,

968
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah boy, how about Marcel Reefe Few off the field issues,

969
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: but it's okay or no fullback? I think you just

970
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: wanted to go heavy on wide receivers. Fullback, all right,

971
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're gonna do the Chan Gailey offense.

972
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: Uh No, fullback necessary, tight end optional. Let's go with

973
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers now and this to me is is a

974
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: is a group. This is where I have my speed

975
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: problems really start to haunt me. I want to get

976
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: antkom Balden in the building as my number one, and

977
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: I feel like he's been on the Graybeards before. He

978
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: might have been. He's the mainstair. He doesn't sign until training.

979
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: Can uh an com Balden? How about Mikey Floyd? Mean,

980
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: that's the way beat. There's some speed, but you have

981
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: to looking at this list. You gotta get him. I

982
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: got it doesn't matter what I take. I mean, he's

983
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: got a lot of issues off the field. But I

984
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 1: have a great I have a great team guys that

985
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: that work as tutors, former players, UH, some people in

986
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: the ministry. They will talk to my guys and send

987
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: the right messages to him about how to live uh

988
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 1: and and thrive both on the field and importantly off.

989
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: That's that's why we have this theme music. Who is

990
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: your your director? What was that? Who's your director of

Speaker 1: player development? To do this? My director of player development

992
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: um is Mark Cecil. He's got plenty of time now

993
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: that he's not the softball GM. Mark wears a lot

994
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: of hats around here. How about a little and our pay. Well,

995
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: this is pays fabulously. This where they are the gray beards.

996
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson little off the grid like he literally has

997
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: a gray beard. Vincent jacks Well, you need one of

998
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: those guys? Did Jeremy Curly reason he did? What about

999
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: Andrew Hawkins Hawk? Are you go? Hawk? Mayby Hawk? Former

1000
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: reality star? We got a better slot slot, that's true. Well,

1001
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna put him on the outside act. It's

1002
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: gonna let him fly on the outside. How about double

1003
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: slot receivers? I mean you're gonna have to get everybody

1004
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: at the slot. Just crowd that middle, all right, We'll

1005
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: put hockey in there. I mean I think that's enough receivers.

1006
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: That's four or four? Yeah, I like Floyd. An actual

1007
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: NFL roster would have more, But that's what bargain at

1008
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: the tight end position. Uh, Larry Dennell. Has anybody get

1009
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: excited about that position? This is I'm not gonna lean.

1010
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: Maybe blocking guys are better. I don't want to be.

1011
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to get you too excited. But I

1012
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: believe combies out there. Oh no, I have him. Oh

1013
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: you have blocked in Yeah, a long term right there?

1014
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: I had him as my number two tight end. Cumberland

1015
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: of course. Uh, lifetime deal, lifetime Dealmberlin one of my

1016
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: favorite players on the Jets during the the two thousand

1017
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: early two thousand Tens blew out as Achilles last year

1018
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 1: in San Diego. But again we have a great, great,

1019
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: great health and fitness team. How about Jim dre We

1020
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: bought Tom Brady's cookbook. Actually we we shelled it out.

1021
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh it's available all of a sudden, that's why you

1022
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: haven't been able to get it off back order. We

1023
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: reached out to Nan Yee and uh, he hooked us up.

1024
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: This is helping somebody. Um, So everybody cool with Jeff

1025
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: Cumberland as being our number one tight end. Again, this

1026
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: offense is a Chan Gailey offense. He is our offensive. Yeah,

1027
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: I think you want to put four receivers on the

1028
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: field and a running back. Really get creative and just

1029
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: say these tight ends are just in case. Right now,

1030
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: this is where I starts to need some of your help.

1031
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: Let's took a look at this line. You know, one

1032
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: guy that's always seems to be on the graybeards this

1033
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: time of year is my lockdown left tackle, former first

1034
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 1: pick Jake Long. You gotta build a statue to him

1035
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: a second stadium. Jake's always there in April, and uh,

1036
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: you know he's got a nice name brand. You gotta

1037
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: throw a Gosnar chairless on the other side of the line. Yeah,

1038
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: put Charlists there on the right side. I think we

1039
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: got on you. Speaking of statues, you're gonna need Gustar

1040
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: Chili cherlists. You're gonna need to sign more than two quarterbacks.

1041
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: Um these linemen that are available. Wait, you know your

1042
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: your your term. You like to throw around West like,

1043
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: trust the game, not the name. Where the other way around? Yeah,

1044
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: you gotta trust the name. Get get the people in

1045
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: the building. So God, Charliss, I like that. You're going

00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,760
Speaker 1: with God. You ask me if I have a God complex.

1049
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,480

1050
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: got the running game in the interior line. And in

1051
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,680

00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: to dinner together. Really a lot of bonding time. Feel

1062
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: like Sebastian Volmer. Maybe you could get him out of

1063
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: out of those videos he was mel could be my

1064
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: swing tax swing tackle, good buzz international. He gets Henry

1065
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 1: Hodson on board, that's true. Check a few boxes, check

1066
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: some boxes because we we actually we do a great

1067
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,760
Speaker 1: job with our overseas stuff. But since we're in San Diego,

1068
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: most of our overseas workers with Japan. This will help

1069
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: us uh in Germany. The other Sea, Yeah, the other Sea. Good,

1070
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: the Baltic the Baltic Sea. This why does it feel like? This?

1071
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: Is how like Trump came up with his cabinet, him

1072
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: and three of his but like golf buddies. All right,

1073
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,439
Speaker 1: so that is my line. Let's go to the defensive line.

1074
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: I got on the outside four three here run in

1075
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 1: three four. It's it's gonna be kind of a hybrid.

1076
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna have to be always a hybrid. Vance is

1077
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 1: gonna be a space eater in the middle. Uh, Dwight

1078
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: Freeney on the outside. Uh, and um, you got Mario Williams.

1079
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: Mario Williams is there, Elvis in the Elvis is in

1080
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: the building. About Paul? Anyone done that Krueger? He's got

1081
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: that brown stink on him. Pretty uh, pretty low moment

1082
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: for Paul Krueger. Things change quickly and he went to

1083
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: the Saints and even worse defense Sin Derrick Marks, Greg Hardy. No, no,

1084
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: I think we discussed that last year. We just again

1085
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: this organization, we're classy and we would not do that.

1086
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: Don't forget about Jonathan Hankins. Still a little young for

1087
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: the gray Beards. I mean it's twenty five years old.

1088
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: It's Michael Floyd. Yeah, it's okay to have a couple

1089
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: of young guys. You don't have to be thirty on average.

1090
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: It usually breaks down to the ages around. Um, alright,

1091
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: any other interior a lineman jump out to you, especially

1092
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: on the interior. How about the linebacker position. Uh, maybe

1093
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: we need somebody in the middle. DeAndre Levy when the

1094
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: levee breaks, watch out. He played and last year I've

1095
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: heard of that something. Zach Brown was Zach Brown, Zack

1096
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: Brown band. Has Rome McClain been on your gray beards

1097
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: a few times? No, I think he was under contract

1098
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Potentially, I can't remember. But

1099
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: how about the Quell Jackson. No friend of the Patriots

1100
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: to Quell Jackson, not young either, agent, agent, nothing, But

1101
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm Jon another man I believe with, like literally a

1102
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: gray beard. Yeah, yeah, I like that. Obviously, Roman Harper's

1103
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: on the team. Well, yeah, there there is. There is

1104
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: the gray beard right there. Other safeties, it's some good safeties.

1105
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: De Shawn Goldson, he's still active in Well, you know

1106
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: who's available. I mean, one of the legends of the

1107
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: Around the League podcast, former number one player on the

1108
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: top one on one free agents list, Jared's Bird John

1109
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: I Bruce Bird. That's right, very exciting. That's a that's

1110
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: a big gut. I had him locked in there. I

1111
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: love that. How about Duke Ianacho you catch on anymore? No,

1112
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: I think it's been a while. What about t J McDonald,

1113
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: d J mct some a little surprise t J McDonald.

1114
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm very surprise TJ McDonald's not on the team. We

1115
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: had him been in our top twenty last year at

1116
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: long snapper, Brett Good, big time glue guy. But I

1117
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: think he caught on somewhere. So in the market for

1118
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: a long snapper of anybody's got one that is not

1119
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: currently employed. Anybody long snapper not at the top of

1120
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: the mind at the moment. Get that back to me

1121
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: on that kicker, Dan Carpenter, it's your only option. He's

1122
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: my guy. Maybe, um there is some room potentially roster

1123
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: space for the youngest gray beard ever, Roberto Aguayo, but

1124
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: that's not for a few months. For now, Dan Carpenter

1125
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: will be my kicker punter. Why have you skipped cornerbacks?

1126
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Thank you Wes. Of course we have Durelle

1127
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: Rieva's Rivas Island is reopening in San Diego. Uh about

1128
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: Sam Shields? How about Altron Verner, Altron Verner? Awesome option?

1129
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: Leotis Mcalvin. I remember this being a particular trouble spot

1130
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: on my team last year. Home run for the podcast

1131
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Flowers. Oh today, what a team this is gonna be?

1132
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: Mike Vince will Firk. He's considering retirement. Comes up. Yeah,

1133
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: unlike Vince, he has serious concussion issue. Sam Shields too.

1134
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: Half of your cornerbacks have something you you know, we

1135
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: have a great Uh. Do you want to be understanding doctors? Doctor,

1136
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: that's some of the best in the business. By the way,

1137
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: our cornerbacks last year, it was a major problem. Uh.

1138
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: We had Antonio Crimarti, Leon Hall and Charles Tillman on

1139
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: the outside. Uh. Not a great situation. Good Nickel corner

1140
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: out there still, Nicole Roby, Corman, Robico, rob A lot

1141
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: of names there. I like that. Um and then Uh,

1143
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: him back. That's a good choice. Great body. Um Man.

1144
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: I'd Gregg the leg last year, but he's not available

1145
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: this year. Um okay. Now head coach Tom Coughlin was

1146
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the head coach last year. He obviously caught on. Um.

1147
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: I had Mike san here's an idea. Let me know

1148
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: what you think. Mike Shanahan, now sixty five years old.

1149
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: You have to be old as dirt to get this job.

1150
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan, now officially a senior UM citizen, last year

1151
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: was the o C. I bump him up to head coach,

1152
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: and I install the recently retired Chan Gailey as my

1153
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: o C to run my wide my three wide receiver offense,

1154
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: shoot for the stars. You're saying, yeah, I had Marty

1155
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer as my d C. I don't think if it

1156
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: ain't broke, don't fix right, Sandy, breaking news, Marty Schottenheimer,

1157
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: one of your starting safetyes. T J McDonald has been

1158
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: suspended for the first date game. Well, you're right here.

1159
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: You can cut him right now and make another move.

1160
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to. I'm gonna make it. Yeah, I'm

1161
01:02:58,080 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 1: gonna send a message to the rest of the team.

1165
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep him. He sping emotional five minutes for

1166
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 1: t J gets cut by the Gray Beards. Thought he

1167
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: had a second chance with the Gray Beards. I think

1168
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: whoever should charge you your due diligence might be on

1169
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: the ropes here. That's mark No. I just handled them

1172
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: quick rundown of the two thousand and sixteen roster and

1173
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: see how that team came together. I had Ryan Fitzpatrick

1174
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:46,960

1177
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 1: Jones and Andre Johnson. You could say James Jones again

1178
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: if you wanted to. They're gonna let him go tight end.

1179
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Vernon Davis and Owen Daniels and uh Alden Smith we

1180
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: signed last year. More than half the Nate players who

1181
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: just named are not even in the league anymore. Yeah,

1182
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: that's why they're the gray beards. And it is h

1183
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: does tell a story about the NFL, how tough it is.

1184
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 1: If you are not a young guy that makes no

1185
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 1: money or older guy that's a star, you fall into

1186
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: this purgatory that seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

1187
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: And maybe that's why I have more options this year. Um,

1188

Speaker 1: So that's it. That's my roster. We're gonna go Cutler,

1208
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: gray beards. I'm excited about it. Thanks guys. Perfect role

1209
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: for Mike Shanahan, perfect cast grab to get back off

1210
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: the sidelines. Like all kidding, all kidding. Aside, by the way,

1211
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: take the Jets out of the league and just put

1212
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 1: in this graybeard's roster. They're in the a f C East.

1213
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: How many wins assuming you can fill out the team

1214
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: with another twenty you know, people with special teams whatnot. Yeah,

1215
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: do you have a draft? I think, but you do

1216
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 1: have like undrafted free agency. You could keep signing undrafted

1217
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: free agents? Are your number one on the waiver wire always.

1218
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: I think you can win two games. I would just

1219
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: say over under two and a half. I'm looking for

1220
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 1: four to five. Is that asking every coach is optimistic.

1221
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking you go about eleven and five. Make the playoffs.

1222
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: Shut everyone up. That would turn football on its uh

1223
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: on its head because these are all guys that nobody

1224
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: wants right now. Change the way the team building happens

1225
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You can give the best ever nobody

Speaker 1: the Raiders move to Vegas, but not giving not handing

1231
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,840
