Uh, 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:41.560 Nick Saban decided to change the style at halftime. He 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.720 heard what I had to say and absolutely changed up 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.800 the style and that changed up the fight. So we're 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.640 gonna talk about that a little bit later on in 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.600 this show. We are also, you know, when I was 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:58.919 away in Asia, all this news came out about acrimony 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.520 at the top of the New England Patriots as it 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.080 related to Kraft, Belichick and Brady.

Welcome back to the 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.880 Fantasy Freestyle Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Dane 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:52.680 Martinez speeds the spitting statistician. The stable genius is in 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.839 the building right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.520 The building being Studio thirty four Rock and Riley's. Let 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.480 me tell you then, last month Rock and Riley's had 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:07.120 basically a different holiday party every night. It really seems 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:11.600 Bivona like people are taking their New Year's resolution seriously, 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.720 maybe trying to keep the pounds of those beer calories 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.920 off that's a less less uh less folks at Rock 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.560 and Riley's right after the holidays, I think people are 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.960 done with partying. They're like refocused on their new uh 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.760 beginning of year goals. What do you think about that? 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:33.640 Bavona to quote uh to quote Austin Powers specifically fraud 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.320 a lies. I guarantee that they just they're just trying 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.359 to save money from all the drinking and all the 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.279 party and they're doing their partying at home. Now. Well, listen, 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.719 I'm gonna tell you something. If you if you wanna 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:49.160 earn money, you need to listen to our show DFS 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:53.159 Lineup lock six to seven pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.680 It's Me and my Man v Tony Sencada. Tony Sencada 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:01.320 was relatively confident about his lineup tonight. In the NBA. 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.240 There's four games and the first game doesn't tip until 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.360 seven thirties. So I recommend if you want something check 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.919 out Tony Sankada's lineup tonight for DraftKings. He uh, maybe 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.320 you need to win a little bit of cash. But 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.160 let's keep it moving here on Fantasy Freestyle and give 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.800 you the news and notes from around the NFL today. 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.760 The headline event was really the press conference that they 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.440 had out there in the Bay Area to introduce new 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.440 Raiders head coach John Gruden. And uh, you know, we 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.680 reported this before that he signed a ten year, over 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.760 a hundred million dollar contract to be the head coach 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:39.160 of the Raiders as they transition from Oakland into Las Vegas. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.800 And I saw some of this press conference. Let me 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:46.800 tell you something, His passion, his enthusiasm is absolutely infectious. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.960 If you want someone who's like a players coach, that 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.520 will run through the wall for someone, then this was 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.320 a great higher to have the face of your organization 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.120 as you change. You know, they talked about the f 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.320 c A, the Fired Football Coaches Association, how he's real, 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.760 he's still scouting players, how he's still building plays and playbooks, 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.520 how he's working for ESPN, you know, in the draft, 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.400 how he got to see every facility, saw every offensive 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.360 and defensive scheme in the league. I actually buy that 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.760 him being a broadcaster helped him, you know, kind of 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:22.120 scout everybody and learn not just one philosophy, one style. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.960 So I like that. I thought, here's some interesting takeaways 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:29.360 from the press conference. He's never met Marshawn Lynch, and 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.280 he said he was intrigued by Marshawn. You know, he'll 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.080 have to sit down and talk with him about how 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.000 he fits into the offense. Keep an eye on this, 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.480 because maybe he doesn't fit into the new offense that 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.040 they're gonna want to put in there. He did say though, 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.440 he shared his love for Oakland and his love for 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.640 the franchise, so he'd be interested to get in the 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.640 room and finally meet him. He said he loved where 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.040 his young quarterback Derek Carr was okay, said he's as 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.320 skilled as anybody throwing the ball. Loves that he's entering 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.960 his prime. Said he probably had a down year because 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.920 is of the back injury, which is valid in my opinion. 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.160 I thought what was interesting though, he really didn't have 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:11.240 any answer for one reporter who asked about um potential 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.440 kneeling controversy as it related to the Oakland Raiders. He 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.920 was pretty much just all football, you know. He was like, 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.960 I still have to look into that. Remember there were 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.160 reports that there was unrest in the Raiders locker room 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.880 because of the kneeling protest. Ironically, though, he also did 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.880 not have an answer when it came to like the 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.320 Raiders moving to Vegas, which is something if you signed 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:35.520 a ten year deal you gotta realize, right Um, He said, 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.760 he's just focused on like the black hole and fans 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.000 in Oakland for the next two years. He had to 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.520 throw away line kind of he didn't know if he'd 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.160 be alive in ten years, so he doesn't know if 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.600 this full contract is gonna happen. He's really focused on 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.720 trying to maximize the last two years in Oakland. I 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.439 think he's gonna do a good job. I think remember 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.720 and I'm gonna do this tomorrow on tomorrow's Fantasy Freestyle. 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.640 I'm gonna kind of rank all of the jobs that 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.600 you had that are out there in the NFL and 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.280 which I think are the best ones, in which I 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.240 think are the kind of like like the bottom of 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.560 the barrel. And to be quite honest, I'm gonna include 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.680 the job of the Raiders and the job of the 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.520 Bears that got high with Naggy going over there. And 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.360 and the first thing you look at is the quarterback 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.200 that you're inheriting, you know. And and in this job 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.280 you have Derek Carr who's entering his prime, who can 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.280 sling them Rock who's already locked up contractually, so you 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.240 know you're gonna have him. And I think that that 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.640 was what makes this Oakland Raiders job one of the 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.360 most attractive. The other things you look at, in my opinion, 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.920 or the division you're competing in, the stability of ownership. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.360 You know, um, if you wear your cap situation and 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.160 your draft situation to be able to kind of fill 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.560 up the cupboard. But we'll talk about that tomorrow. Is 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:53.040 I rank the head coaching vacancies in the NFL. Also listen, 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.920 we do have games to play this weekend, and so 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.840 there are some practice reports that are interesting. Chris Hogan 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.600 back at practice on a limited asis for the Patriots. 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.400 He's expected to be back after a shoulder injury. Remember 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.160 he's been dealing with that all season. James White also 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.360 back with a limited practice, coming back from an ankle injury. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.360 But here's the big one for me. Rex Burkhead back 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.160 at practice for the Patriots coming back from a knee injury. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.720 I think that severely compromises the DFS value of a 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.800 guy like Deevin Lewis, let's say, because if Burkehead is back, 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.720 I think he will in fact get a lot of 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.439 opportunity for the Patriots as they take on the Titans 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.360 in that game. DeMarco Murray likely to not go. He 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:36.360 missed practice today for the Tennessee Titans. The Carolina Panthers 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:40.200 have fired their offensive coordinator, Mike Schula. Listen their run game, 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.280 if you take away Cam Newton was literally last in 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.640 the NFL. So I understand that. Okay, so that's gonna 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.520 be interesting whoever goes there. But I think they still 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.640 need a while, a wide out one, a true number 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.080 one wide receiverver I don't know that Funchius is that, 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.640 but remember there are guys out there. I mean, what 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.760 about Allen Robinson. That would might be nice Cam Newton, Right, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.360 what about Josh Gordon? Might be nice for Cam Newton. 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.600 So we'll see about that. All right. Here's the other 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.240 thing I want to talk about here in this segment. 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.520 Listen that National Championship game I talk I talked about 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:11.959 it at the beginning of the show. Remember how I 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.240 said last night when I thought that Alabama would win 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.920 the game. Alabama did in fact win the game. Um, 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:18.520 I did think they were going to cover the point 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.160 spread the points where it was four, So that did 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.760 not happen. Unfortunately, but I didn't have Alabama winning their 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.640 stifth national title in nine years on the Nick Saban, 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.679 which is absolutely ridiculous. I was a big fan. I said, 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.200 style makes fight, and in the style of fight that 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.040 was happening in the first half, Nick Saban and the 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.080 Alabama Criminson tide realized that they were not winning the fight. 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.880 So they changed the style and they changed and they 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.120 went to the freshman quarterback to uh, I'm not gonna 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.160 try to pronounce and Butcher's last name. You know who 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.520 I'm talking about. They put into a in favor of 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.640 Jalen Hurts. He even Saban even said it after the game, 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.640 said he felt like he needed to throw the ball 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.680 a little bit more and that toa would throw the 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.320 ball better. Um, that's what happened. The kid made some 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.160 great throw. The zip on his throw was ridiculous. He 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.840 scrambled out of trouble a couple of times and really 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.199 lad that team to victory. But what I thought was 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.440 an interesting part of this game was the amount of 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.439 freshmen that were on the field for both sides making 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.880 plays not only to a Georgia quarterback, from some of 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.160 these running backs. Harris on one side Swift on the 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.320 other some wide receivers that were defensive lineman. And it 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.800 reminds me of how like the cupboard is never bare 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.400 at these places and I don't understand. Like, and the 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:34.520 funny part with Georgia, for example, they had another kid 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.200 Easton who was their starting quarterback. He went down in 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.640 the first game, and then they bring in from and 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.880 they have the number one recruit in all of the 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:46.480 country at quarterback going to Georgia, Like what what is Like? 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.080 What is this? If you're the blue star recruit, do 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.040 you like prefer to maybe the backup at Alabama or 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.880 at Georgia for two or three years? Why not go 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.320 to another squad where you could start right away, like 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.880 a Power five squad that you could start wide away. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.720 I just don't necessarily get it. What is it? Is 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.760 it the exposure you get, you know, for being with 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.640 these big teams on TV the national press is that 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.640 it is? It? Is it the facilities down there in 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.360 the SEC with l s U or Alabama? Is the 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.920 coaching you get with Nick Saban? Like put put yourself 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:23.600 in the mind of this kid. Let's say who's coming there, 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.000 and he knows he's got, you know, a championship quarterback 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.440 in front of him, Like, what what is it that 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.880 makes you go there anyway? Is it you think the 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.880 one year of exposure the chance you get is enough 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.080 to go to the NFL? Like, or is it that 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:41.440 you appreciate that you're gonna be against NFL competition in practice? 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.000 You know, like the kind of iron sharpens iron kind 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.760 of idea? What is it that makes them be able 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.320 to backlog this talent? And then here's my other question. 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.920 If you can backlog this talent at defensive line, at cornerback, 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.199 at running back, at wide out, at quarterback, why can't 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.160 Nick Saban go and get a niker that can be 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:06.240 rock solid? This kid, Popadopoulos or Popcustus whatever his name was, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.880 missing not one but two and shanking them, pulling them 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.480 wide right. He had the yips Like his name was 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.600 Blake Bortles. Let me tell you something about that. Okay, 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.360 So I don't understand this. There was so much NFL 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.120 talent on that field. It was a great game, and 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.760 kudos to Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Maybe 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.400 they can now go play my guys, the University of 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.800 Central Florida, the undefeated Golden Knights, who in my opinion, 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.440 deserve his share of the national title. And if this 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:38.040 was twenty five years ago, it would happen just like that. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.760 But congratulations to the Alabama Crimson Tide who win the 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:48.240 national championship in overtime over Georgia in Atlanta. Three. Maybe 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.640 he'll take hours a break and then hit that recruiting 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.400 trail again to restock the cupboard, like it looks like 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.080 they always do. But I gotta get into that, like 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.200 Danny later on, we gotta go on the chat at 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.280 and we gotta find out, like why if you were 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.360 like this, you know, big time recruit, why google there 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.120 to sit behind kids for you know, three years and 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.120 then maybe get a chance. Is that the exposure? Is that? 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.080 The coaching, the facilities, the competition? What is it? I 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.200 want to hear about it in the YouTube chat when 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.160 we come back. I took you you might take on 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.920 the Patriots dramas, the Fantasy freestyle on the Fantasy Sports 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:30.800 Radio Network. You know what it is, Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:36.400 Michael Thomas. These three NFL softmores are not due to slump. 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.160 They're due to break out, just like the Fantasy Sports 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.320 Radio Network. A year two, things are only getting better. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.680 Make sure listen live and tell o the app F 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.400 and T s y or Radio. It's free and it's 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:55.080 twenty four seven the best Fantasy sports on ten. He's 0:15:55.080 --> 0:16:16.800 on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. My man Chris Bavona 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.720 bringing us a little drag on as we come back 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:24.920 on over You know what it is with the hashtag 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.480 stats overbeat Cipher. We're keeping it so hot that we 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.440 sweat steam, blowing up like a Samsung seven. It is 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:36.520 the Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Um, 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:40.000 when I was away in Asia, this news broke about 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.680 the drama with the Patriots, right, you know, Robert Kraft, 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.480 Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and there's listen. I was early 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.800 with it though. I was giving you guys this insight 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.760 a couple of weeks ago. Remember if you remember, and 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.160 I know you do, because I know you keep tabs 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.920 on everything that stats overbeat Cipher discusses. And I told 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.440 you guys that there was some drama around this guy 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.159 Alex Guerrero, that was Brady's personal trainer. He was on 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.879 the sidelines, he was on the team plane. He had 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:12.040 an office at the facility, and Belichick revoked some of 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.760 his privileges. If you remember, that was like a couple 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.439 of weeks ago. I reported that, and I said that 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.360 there was a little bit of drama there between Bill 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.280 Belichick with the medical staff, and so that was the 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.200 first crack. And I told you, I don't like this 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.040 with teams, when teams that have been together for so long. 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.040 I said the same thing with Bobby Wagner and Arl 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.359 Thomas going back and forth in social media. That really 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.520 is what it starts to signal the fall of Rome. 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.560 These guys that have been together for fifteen twenty years 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.720 something like that. Okay, and they've done a lot of winning, Okay. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.439 But I think here's what here's here's my take on it. 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.400 And I you know, I know all the inside. I read, 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:54.280 I read the article, I know all the details. Um. 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.359 I think that Bill Belichick was planning for the future 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:01.240 without Tom Brady, okay, uh. And I think he's done 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.040 that before. And I think Bill Belichick has always been 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.399 a year early moving on from you rather than a 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:11.040 year late. And he's done that with everybody from Teddy 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:17.120 Brushki to Lineman to you know, even Stalworth's of the organization. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.840 And I think Tom Brady thought that the time was 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.680 coming for him, and I thought that, uh, that Jimmy 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.159 Garoppolo was a threat. In essence, Jimmy Garoppolo was a threat. 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.399 One of the most interesting details I found in the 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:35.160 article was that Jimmy Garoppolo actually was refused treatment at 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.960 TB twelve. Okay, Jimmy Garoppolo is the threat. Jimmy Garoppolo 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.960 is public enemy number one. That's why this whole thing 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.000 not only was with the Alex Guerrero and Who's training piece, 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.400 but also this idea of how they had to trade 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:51.080 Jimmy Garoppolo. Bill Belichick wanted to keep Jimmy Garoppolo, you know, 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:57.199 but um Robert Craft got wind of it. Maybe the 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.119 way Robert Craft got wind of it was because is 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:01.360 I don't know if you guys know this, but Tom 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.439 Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo the same agent. Okay, So if 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.679 one of them is talking about personnel moves and one 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.960 of them is thinking about, you know, the future, then 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.719 the other one knows as well. Okay. So maybe Brady 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.080 went up the backstairs to Robert Kraft and said, you 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:15.760 need to put your finger on the thumb on this, 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.800 and you need to get Jimmy Jimmy g Q out 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.880 of here, and Bill didn't want that because Bill had 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.320 been toiling and Bill had been prepping and planning for 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.320 a day without Tom Brady. And by all accounts, Jimmy 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:32.159 Garoppolo was the air apparent, but uh Craft sided with 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.720 Brady is how it went down. And I think that 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.159 is is really part of the acrimony. I think that 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.880 it became obvious with the Jimmy Garoppolo piece. I think 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:47.000 he became obvious with the Alex Guerrero piece. And there's 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.120 other things that I feel that are coming out though. 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:54.280 Um I think Tom Brady is in an avocado cult. 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.679 I think Tom Brady is in an avocado oags based cult. 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.639 You know, to be that great, you have to be 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.320 a little bit of a different cat, you know, to 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.160 be that singularly focused, you have to be a little weird, 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.080 you know. You see. Also there's the great cut ups 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.920 of like all the history onics that Oldell Beckham does 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:15.800 on the sidelines and how Tom Brady does the exact 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.399 same thing. Tom Brady is a special dude, and I 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.240 mean special dude. Okay. I don't know if it's maybe 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.560 the avocados. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.240 the sleep chamber that he's in, maybe it's all that 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.040 good stuff he's getting from Alex Guerrero. But he's a 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:30.800 different kind of cat. And we're hearing a little bit 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.960 more about this. Uh Josh McDaniels, his father apparently was 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.800 screaming at him from the stands of a recent game, 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.159 basically that he's in a hole. That was in this 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:44.760 article as well. And I'm gonna tell you something, Yeah, 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:48.680 I think Bill Belichick and Tom Brady will ultimately still 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:51.000 be together. Like this pole question I have up on 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:55.479 Twitter right now. Sevent of you say yes, Bill and 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:57.840 Tom will both be with the Patriots in two thousand 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:01.000 and eighteen. And I agree with you. I agree with 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.560 the of you. Okay, I you know that my second 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:06.720 response would be that Bill is the only one that 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.120 could leave. Bill is the only one that could leave. 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:11.479 And and here's why I wouldn't put it past you. 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:13.639 And I'm gonna give you a couple of reasons, and 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.959 and and it may not be what you're thinking, you know, 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:19.600 It's always there's always been the question like who needs 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:22.679 two more? Did Brady need Belichick or did Belichick need Brady, right, 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:26.840 because Belichick was a coach with Cleveland for one day, 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:28.960 he was a coach with the Jets, right, So could 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:30.760 he do it without him? And and and and I 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.800 think for guys like Belichick, that always burns, right, like 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.480 could you do it without that that star to to 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:38.879 prove that it was really you, that it was really 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:41.960 you all behind it all, behind the dynasty, behind the success. 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.080 So I think that that is a little bit there. 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:47.360 You hear Rumors about the New York Football Giants were 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:49.520 also hearing today. There were reports that Nick Saban is 0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:52.240 not interested in the Giants. And remember, I'm going to 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:55.440 rank all these openings on tomorrow's episode of The Fantasy Freestyle. 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:57.399 The Giants are not the top one, but they're not 0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:01.359 the bottom one either, um, and so maybe belichick season 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:03.639 opening there. It has been reported by you know, close 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.800
