1
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody just watched they You know,

2
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know how you de cried that Monday

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: night game, but you probably have some better adjectives than

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: I do, because I got nothing good to say. Uh,

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: and we will dive into that bad boy right up

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: the top. Uh. A lot happened this weekend. I thought

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Sunday was excellent day of football. Obviously the Pittsburgh Tennessee

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: game that Sunday night game. Have some thoughts on, definitely

9
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: on Seattle. I mean something something came to light in

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: that game that I don't know. I I got red

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: flagged with them, and really I have had it red

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: flag the whole year, and they'll probably keep winning the

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: spite of it, but it's gonna buy them in the

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: ass eventually. Antonio Brown coming to a team that is

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: absolutely rolling. I mean the just I held the week

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: before I turned the game off at halftime when they

17
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: were playing the Packers. I don't even know what that

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: score might have been, like sixty two nothing. I mean,

19
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: they have destroyed their opponents the last two weeks. This

20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: Raider game was a little tighter, but they're high end.

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Once they get rolling. Was just on a completely different

22
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: level and at Antonio Brown pretty risky man Belichick obviously,

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: it was pretty locked into Niners Patriots until that game

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: was over at halftime. And Cam stinks, Belichick's roster stinks.

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not phased, Like I'm not gonna say

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: Belichick stinks as a coach, but his team's awful. It

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: really really awful that the Niners absolutely destroyed him, that

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: they don't have any good players. And one thing we've

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: realized is Cam Newton I think got us all really

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: excited on that Sunday night game against Seattle. Well, the

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: human we've seen the last several games, even before Corona,

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: but definitely these last couple of games. He was terrible

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: first the Niners, I mean absolutely awful. So we'll dive in.

34
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: I got some thoughts there on Belichick and it. We'll

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: just kind of fire around the league. Like I said,

00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: We're not a charity around here and at John Middlecoff

43

Speaker 1: is my Instagram handle. I answer your questions here on

44
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: the show, as we call it, The People Show. But

45
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: let's start with the Monday night game, and we gotta

46
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: start with the Bears. Uh, listen, Matt Naggie's my guy.

47
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: I've known him for over a decade. I'm a big fan.

48
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: And it's there five and two. I mean, they just

49
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: got you know, they got Mullet, they got destroyed. They

50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: got a kind of a garbage time touchdown from Adie

51
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: Jackson to make the score. I mean I just turned

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: the game off, like five minutes left. It was to ten.

53
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: So if the score changes, I mean, it's just garbage

54
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: time points. Nick Foles just isn't that good. Now he's

55
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: better than Trabisky, but he's just not that good. He's

56
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: a slow twitch player who caught lightning in a bottle

57
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: with the Eagles kind of twice. But really the one

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: time when you look back on that Eagles team, they

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: had an excellent offensive line, Jason Peters, Jason Kelsey, Brandon Brooks,

60
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson. This Bears team, like they do have some

61
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: offensive talent right. Their wide receivers Miller, Allen Robinson, the

62
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: tight end they drafted I think Notre Dame kid Jimmy

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: Graham still decent for him. They have some offensive weapons.

64
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is putrid. If you have a bad

65
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: offensive line in two thousand, eighteen, nineteen and twenty these

66
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: last several years, you can be a good team. We've

67
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: seen it. We saw last year with the Minnesota Vikings.

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: You can win games if you have a good defense

69
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: and good offensive skill guys, and the Bears they're gonna

70
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: end up with eight, nine, ten wins like that they're

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: gonna be They're already I and two like they're not.

72
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: They're not gonna not win more games. Their defense is

73
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: good and their offense is gonna look better than I

74
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: hope it did tonight. But their offense, when you have

75
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: a bad offensive line, you can look like trash because

76
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: you can't block anybody. And these last handful of years,

77
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: there have never been the amount of athletes at the

78
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: defensive line position that have come in And the reality

79
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: is the same amount of good players on the offensive

80
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: line positions have not come into the league. And clearly

81
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Pace has not done a good job Now, Matt

82
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: Naggie didn't do a good job tonight. I'm sure he'll

83
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: say that after the game. They got outcoached, they got outplayed,

84
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: they got out physical. The Rams beat the ship out

85
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: of him tonight. Now part of that might be as

86
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: the Rams last week against the Niners on Sunday night,

87
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: football got pumped, got destroyed, and they brought it to

88
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: the Bears. I also think there's an element of this

89
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: when you're a great defensive team and your offense is

90
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: not carrying the weight, and every time you look up

91
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: it's ten nothing, it's it's a thirteen nothing, it's seven three.

92
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's just like we're do on our job

93
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: and you guys are scoring no points. We can only

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: take so much. The thing with football, unlike the majority

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: of businesses, the product are the humans. So they got

96
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 1: human emotions. And the Bears clearly have enough talent on defense.

97
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: They're really talented on defense, definitely talented enough. Probably not

98
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: they're not. There's not as well coached. Chuck Pogano is

99
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: not nearly as good as Vic Fangio. Vic Fangio, you know,

100
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, probably should have been

101
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: a lifetime defensive coordinator. Like I said about Todd Bowls,

102
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: just know your role. I don't blame him for taking

103
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: a shot. He was never gonna be head coach Elway

104
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: gave him the chance, and God, the Broncos are terrible.

105
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: But Chuck Pogano is a dramatic step down from Vic

106
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: and you see it with their defense. But their defense

107
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: is still fine because they have so much talent. But

108
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: you can't overcome a putrid offense the inability to score points.

109
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: Because I don't know if you know this, but in sports, baseball, basketball, football,

110
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: you have to outscore the opponent. And in most games,

111
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: especially in the NFL, like teams are gonna or I

112
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: don't know, over like seventeen points. Great scoring defenses are

113
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: like fifteen. Elite scoring defensive like fift. So the middle

114
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: of the road solid defense is probably you know, low twenties.

115
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: You got to score some points to win. And you

116
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: watch the Bears. They not only struggle score points, they

117
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: struggled to move the ball. And it's a combination of

118
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: their offensive line and quarterback play. And when your offensive

119
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: line is awful, if you have a great quarterback like

120
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: we saw years with Roethlisberger, with Rogers, you can overcome it.

121
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: It could you could have bad moments, but you can

122
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: ultimately overcome it. The Bears quarterback situation is shitty. I

123
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: mean Mr Whisky is one of the biggest whiffs res

124
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: we can think of in recent memory. Like you can

125
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: say Baker will get in him a little later, may

126
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: not be whatever. He's still an NFL starter, right, I

127
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: mean Sam Donald that you can say, yeah, he's he's

128
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: an NFL starter. You look at Mr Whisky, He's never

129
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna be an NFL starter. Again, I don't even know

130
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: a team that would want him as the backup. So

131
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I I just think that, and then you

132
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: go to Nick Foles. Nick Foles is not an ideal

133
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in a perfect world. Nick Foles is like

134
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: what Ryan Fitzpatrick is about to be. He's there to

135
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: support you, he's there to help you study, and if

136
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: you get into a pinch and your guy gets injured

137
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: or you've gotta start a game or two, he can

138
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: come out of relief. There's a reason guys are relief pitchers,

139
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: and there are reliasing reason guys are starters. Now, if

140
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: you're a big baseball guy, you can you know, it's

141
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: kind of been skewed in two thousand and twenty. But

142
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: back when I was growing up, there are starters and

143
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: there were relievers. You know, certain guys couldn't throw as

144
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: many innings. Certain guys will just be able to throw

145
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: one hard ending, whatever the reason was, but ultimately it's you.

146
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: You got separated, and that happens in football, and some

147
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: guys become really good backup quarterbacks, and I think Nick

148
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Foles is a fantastic backup quarterback, but when you have

149
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: to start game in and game out, he gets exposed,

150
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: especially when the office to lion can't block anybody because

151
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: he can't really move Nick Foles, it's kind of it's

152
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna sound like an oxy moron. He's a he's a

153
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: very good athlete, but he is extremely slow and just

154
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: heavy footed, so he can't move very well. He's a

155
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,559
Speaker 1: big time athlete. He was a great high school basketball player.

156
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: I think he was recruited to play at Michigan State.

157
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: But if he moves around like one of the slowest

158
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: players on the field, so just the casual guy would

159
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: would if you're just watching Nick Foles, you would think

160
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: he was a low level athlete, but he's not. He's

161
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: actually just really slow and everything about him is just

162
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: kind of slow twitch. Right. You watch those guys on

163
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football, Russell Kyler, I mean that's fast twitch.

164
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: Even like Rogers and Mahomes. Whatever they do is kind

165
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: of with a with a purpose. Even watched Jared Goff,

166
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: who is on the athletic scale of two thousand twenty

167
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks would be near the bottom, and look how

168
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 1: much faster he just moves around the Nick Foles. The

169
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: Bears have a quarterback problem that is not going to

170
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: change this year. Their offense is just they're not gonna

171
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: be able to score many points. Bottom line. And you

172
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: watch the Rams like they have some high end players.

173
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey are stars. I

174
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: do think they'll like I don't judge last, you know,

175
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: the Monday night game to like the bar for them

176
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: because in their division they have I don't you know,

177
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't. We can probably look at different statistics. In

178
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: my opinion, I would say Kansas City in Seattle are

179
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: the two best offenses. When I closed my eyes, I

180
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: think about those guys throwing bombs and scoring points. Seattle

181
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: can score in anybody, Kansas City can score in anybody, Well,

182
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: who's the Rams gonna play twice? Then Kyler Murray and

183
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: that offense is just remarkable to watch with Hopkins, Christian Kirk,

184
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: Kyler is just a star, and Cliff like Cliffs a

185
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: good offensive coach, that offensive big time. And Kyle Shanahan

186
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: um last time I checked, is one of the best

187
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: offensive coaches in the league. And when Deebot, Brandon Ayuk,

188
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: George Kittle, Motort will come back. Like the Niners are

189
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: loaded with offensive weapons. And we saw the Niners shove

190
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: the Rams around last week. Now Seattle in Arizona won't

191
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: really shove you around, but they'll just throw away from

192
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. Now, the one thing the Rams will have

193
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: against Seattle is Jalen Ramsey will follow dk Metcalf. It'll

194
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: be a little more difficult with the Cardinals because Okay,

195
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: you can follow Hopkins, that's fine. They'll just throw to

196
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: Kirk and Fitzgerald and other guys. So I I just

197
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: don't know if their defense is gonna be good enough

198
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: to overcome an offense that they do have some weapons.

199
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: I Robert Woods and Cooper Cup are studs, and their

200
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: run game is just good because McVeigh is good at

201
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: scheming it like when you watch golf, and I'm a

202
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: golf fan, but he has his limitations and he's not

203
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: like gonna slice and dice really good teams. Now. Luckily

204
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: for his division, Seattle's defense is awful, Arizona's defense is

205
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: not that good, and the Niners their pass rush is

206
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 1: not gonna be the same. And he only has to

207
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: play him one more time though he's already lost him.

208
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: But I I look at the Rams and like, I

209
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: don't know if they're good enough to, you know, really

210
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: compete to win the NFC, but they're clearly good enough

211
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: to like they're gonna be in the playoffs. And I

212
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: think this division, with the Niners, the Rams, the Cardinals,

213
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: it's just the cream's gonna rise. Like do they all

214
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: just beat each other up? Or does one team in

215
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: the division win? Go five and one? And right now,

216
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have the early edge because there two and

217
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: on the division. The Rams are oh and one because

218
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: they lost to the Cardinals. Seattle hasn't played any teams

219
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: in the division they and they play the Niners this week.

220
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: So I I think top to bottom it's the best

221
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: division of football. I mean, I'm it might sound like

222
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Rams. I think they're probably a

223
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: ten win team. Like I I think they're good. I

224
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna judge them, not on the Bears. I

225
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: judged them how they play the Niners, Seattle in Arizona

226
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: and right now, I have talked a lot of ship

227
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: about the Arizona Cardinals because their coaches never won anything,

228
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: and I do not trust the defensive coordinator. And as

229
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: you saw on Sunday, I like and while I'll talk

230
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: about Russ here coming up, but like I just no,

231
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm just but I respect. I love the quarterback. I

232
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: love DeAndre Hopkins. Larry Fitzgerald's like my favorite player in

233
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: recent memory, just in terms of players slash person Like

234
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm a huge I mean, who's not. So it's just

235
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: how are they gonna look when they play division? Because

236
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: it does feel like all the teams in the division

237
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: match up pretty well against them, and if they slip,

238
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: like if they can go four and to in the division,

239
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs. If they go to and four,

240
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: they'd be in some trouble. And they play the Niners.

241
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: I got shoved around. So I'm just fascinated to watch

242
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: it play out like they're gonna The one thing the

243
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: Rams do it like Seattle and like the Niners, is

244
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: they typically tear take care of business against non common opponents.

245
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: Will they drop games and just he's gonna be in

246
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: the division like they do take care of the Bears.

247
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: They beat him now two years in a row. I'm

248
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: confident in that. That's what the team I'll talk about.

249
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: Like the Arizona Cardinals, Like I'm not as confident in

250
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: games like we saw to night that they're just gonna win,

251
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: but they will. I mean, they're playing well in the division.

252
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: I think the NFC West is kind of separated itself.

253
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's got four teams that if you told

254
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: anyone that they're going to be in the playoffs, we'd

255
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: all believe you. You know, I'm texting with people this

256
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: weekend in the league. They're like, God, you don't the

257
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: Niners kind of get their mojo back. Their coach is

258
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: so good, they can win. I mean the Cardinals just

259
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm not backing off my take on the coaches that

260
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff, but they're they're players and the quarterback is

261
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: just phenomenal. Now, I do give Cliff credit. He pushed

262
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: forward and it's worked out well. But I'm just you

263
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: tell me these teams in the division when they play,

264
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm signed me up because I'll be there. Uh. But

265
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: nice win for the Rams, nice bounce back after getting

266
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: their butt kicks. Okay, let's dive into the Sunday Night

267
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: Football game, and I think NBC executives were doing cart

268
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: wheels once they were able to kick the Raiders off

269
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: of Sunday Night Football all uh with their kind of

270
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: Corona tobaucle and just obviously they'd love to have Tom Brady,

271
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: but they couldn't risk the game getting you know whatever.

272
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you just can't trust the Raiders, and especially

273
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: even to play well in a primetime game. You just

274
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna get. Just to bring up

275
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: Russ and bring up Kyler Murray obviously Russ you know him,

276
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: Rogers and Mahomes probably and Brady poster boys in the league.

277
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, this young superstar. And let's start with Seattle.

278
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: One thing that really jumped out to me was they

279
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: have a major, major issue and they're just some fundamental

280
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: things that never change in life. Ever, whether you're talking

281
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: about football or whether you're talking about you want to

282
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: own a good restaurant, make good food. I want to

283
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: have a good television show higher you know, get a

284
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: good script and hire good actors. I want to create

285
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,479
Speaker 1: funny content, find funny people like there's just some basic premises,

286
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: two different, you know, industries. In life, you want to

287
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, you have to have a good

288
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: quarterback back and a good pass rush, a k a

289
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: good defense. But I think, as we've seen, if you

290
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: have a good pass rush, usually your defense pretty good.

291
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: And that's a problem for Seattle. They don't have a

292
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: good pass rush. Five teams in the in the league

293
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: have less sacks. They're they're you know, single digit sacks

294
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: right now. They're in the bottom third of the league

295
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to getting after the quarterback. And their

296
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: best defensive player by a country mile, the guy they

297
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: traded two first round picks in a second round pick,

298
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: which I liked. The guy, he's my type player, is

299
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: not going to help that out. He definitely not not

300
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: gonna cover anybody whenever Jamal Adams comes back, and yeah,

301
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: he's a good blitzer. But you know, if your safety

302
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: is the best pass rusher on your team, I'm even

303
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: giving you a bigger red flag and listen. I've said

304
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: this over and over and over again in my thirties,

305
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: six years of life, I just had a birthday. If

306
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: you look at me getting old, I have a hand

307
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: full of just when I think favorite players, ever, my

308
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: favorite player when I was young by you know, it

309
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: was Steve Young and you can probably throw in Jerry

310
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: Rice there, but Steve was just every kid on the

311
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: playground wanted to be Steve Young thrown to Jerry Rice.

312
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys were the ship where I was

313
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: growing up, and Steve was this such a fun quarterback

314
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: to watch. And then as the Niners became kind of

315
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: rivals with the far Of Packers, like who didn't like

316
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: far Of like Usually it's just certain quarterbacks have a

317
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: little more flair. I have a ton of respect for

318
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: Manning and Brady. I don't have much account with those guys.

319
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: They're six ft five, super rich, like no one can relate.

320
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: Have you met Steve Young, He's not that toll. I

321
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: actually met Brett Farvan once when I worked in Philly's

322
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: like a little taller, but Russell Wilson, I've stood right

323
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: next to him. He's basically my size. He has no

324
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: business being this good, and it's the game is way

325
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: less violent now. But I do think that Russell Wilson

326
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: is my favorite player to watch ever, Like I just

327
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: never when I watched Seattle play Go you know, I

328
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: were at watching that football game. Ever. I mean, he

329
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: is that much fun. He's everything you want in to

330
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: start quarterback. He's a superstar in their offense. This DK Metcalf,

331
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: that draft pick is gonna go down as an all timer.

332
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a remarkable pick. I also texted

333
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: one time a couple of buddies like should he go

334
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: in the top ten? Right after he ran the combine?

335
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. Now, I hadn't watched in

336
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: college or anything. He's a star. Like their offense is elite,

337
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: their offense is dominant. But you can't win the Super

338
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: Bowl if you can't play any defense. And I was

339
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: texting with the buddy with the Chiefs and he's like,

340
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, kind of remind me of us, you know,

341
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: in eighteen, and we were just in the middle of

342
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: the game, you know, he's just He's just And I

343
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I kind of I thought that too,

344
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: And then I kind of thought about it over the

345
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: last you know, twenty four hours and I was like,

346
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, the Chief's defense was way

347
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: better in eighteen then this then Seattle's defense. Why well,

348
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: d Ford made the Pro Bowl that year as a

349
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: pass rusher, he had thirteen sacks. I'll tell you who

350
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks do not have, and trust me d Ford,

351
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: who knows he was gonna play football again, but that

352
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: given year he was really good and he made an

353
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: impact for him that ultimately he probably cost the Chiefs

354
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: right in the uh in that a f C championship

355
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: game the off sides. But Seattle, who's even gonna be

356
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: in that position for them? Like he was a legitimate

357
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: star pastor. They also had Chris Jones who hadn't quite

358
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: become what he became the following year, but he was

359
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: still damn good. Like Chris Jones and that version of

360
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: d Ford are are infinitely better than anything Seattle has.

361
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm watching Seattle. They just do not have the players.

362
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: They have no impact up front, and I saw it

363
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: last year with the Niners. Like Richard Sherman was good

364
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: last year, but they played with Emmanuel Moseley who actually

365
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: turned out to be okay, but he's an undrafted free

366
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: agent Quasku Tart Jimmy Ward aren't great cover guys, but

367
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: their secondary looked unreal because their pass rush was awesome.

368
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: And watching those Richard Sherman Earl Thomas teams, they're they're

369
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: talent in the defensive backfield was good. Cam Chancellor couldn't

370
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: really cover anybody, but their passed for us. That front

371
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: with Avril, with Bennett, with some of the dudes they had,

372
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: or just unstoppable, unblockable. I remember going to games in

373
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: those peak years against those early when l O. B

374
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: was kind of coming into their own. The defensive line

375
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: did not get enough credit. Michael Bennett Listen, whatever you

376
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: think about him personally, he was an ass kicker on

377
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: the field, and Cliff Avril was an incredible speed rusher

378
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: off the edge, like they were getting after the quarterback.

379
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: And this Seattle team is just like, is Bobby Wagner

380
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: still what he was now? I don't think so. You know,

381
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: he's solid, KG White, those guys are solid. That those

382
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: two are the least of their warries. And when Jamal

383
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: comes back, he's basically a third linebacker. And I'm not

384
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: trying to like beat on Seattle because they had a

385
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: bad loss. I think Seattle is a better team than Arizona.

386
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: It took a three pick. I mean, I have to

387
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: go back and look like that's got to be one

388
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: of the worst games of Russell's career just in terms

389
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: of inter set options. I know he had like a

390
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: five pick game. Remember a couple of years ago someone

391
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: told me about on Twitter against the Packers, that NFC

392
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: Championship game when they won on that on side kick

393
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: that they ultimately I think lost to uh to New

394
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: England in the in the Malcolm Butler pick game. I

395
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: think he had four in that game, but I mean

396
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: he had two in the second half of this game.

397
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: And the one to uh Isaiah Simmons, who's kind of

398
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: a bust right now, he's not really playing, was a

399
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: nice play by the by the rookie, But that doesn't

400
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: look like Russell Wilson. And that picked the Patrick Peterson

401
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone definitely didn't look like

402
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. It took those multiple interceptions in the second

403
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: half of this game ago overtime, right, and then Pete Carroll,

404
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: you know, kind of whisked out on letting Russell play it.

405
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: But given the clock position, at the end of the game.

406
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: I have no issue running the ball at the clock

407
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: and putting it back. It was really good drive by

408
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: by Tyler. But the pushback would be like, Pete, your

409
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: defense sucks, your defense is awful. You just you don't

410
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: have any impact players. And part of the reason they

411
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: had impact players on those original really good teams when

412
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: Russell was nowhere near what he is now because they

413
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: hit on a lot of picks, and I'm not talking

414
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: first round picks. Bobbly Wagener was a second rounder, Sherman

415
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: was a fifth rounder. I think Cam was a third

416
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: or fourth rounder. Like Earl was a star, he was

417
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: a high pick, but most of those other guys were

418
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: not pretty sure. They got Michael Bennett for not much.

419
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: They signed Cliff April as just a free agent. Anyone

420
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: could have had the guy like they did a great

421
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: they haven't really done a good job, and they've had

422
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: to kind of double down and spend a lot on

423
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, who again, I like Jamal Adams, I'd want

424
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: him on my team, but when you factor in he

425
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: can't really cover, you know, that's a lot to give

426
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: up for a guy that can't cover. So they're not

427
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: gonna have a first round pick for the next couple

428
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: of years. I just know this. Who goes consistently to

429
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: restaurants that have bad food? It doesn't happen. The best

430
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: restaurants in America make good food. It's just consistently. The

431
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: teams that win the Super Bowl have a good defense.

432
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: Because if the price of admissions having a good quarterback, right,

433
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: Tom Brady Mahomes, I just think of something that obviously

434
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: that year with Foals, Brady, Russell Manning. Think of the

435
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks this this decade that have won super Bowls, right,

436
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: the price of admission is having a Hall of Fame

437
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: quarterback Rogers. Just that's the deal, Roethlisberger. I mean that,

438
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: that's that's But you need a good defense. Without a

439
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: good defense, you hain't winning Super Bowl. So unless something

440
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: dramatically changes and they can make some crazy trade for

441
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: a defensive linement, which is gonna be tough because they

442
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: don't have even picks because Adams thing like, I'm not

443
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: some anti Seattle guy like middlefe just like the Niners. Yeah,

444
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: I like Seattle too, Like I I love Russell Wilson

445
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: is a favorite player in the league. But I'll tell

446
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: you this like I just their record is gonna be good.

447
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: They're gonna end up thirteen and three. I would not

448
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: pick them to win Super Bowl. I actually think they

449
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: have no chance to win the super Bowl with this defense. Okay,

450
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: one team that's emerging as a clear league power as

451
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: the tam Bay Buccaneers. They look really good, Tom looks

452
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 1: really good, and they're doing something that's a little crazy. Now.

453
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: I I've said it over and over on this pod.

454
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm pro risk. I admire people that take risks. I've

455
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: never been one to stay in the slow lane. I

456
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: don't try to associate with people that stay in the

457
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: slow lane. I like risk takers and I appreciate them.

458
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: And one thing I think we've all learned, probably this

459
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: year more than ever, is there is risk in fucking

460
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: everything we do. Who would have known if you, you know,

461
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: started to business and two thousand twenty you might have failed,

462
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: not because your product wasn't good enough, not because your

463
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: restaurant wasn't good enough, not because of anything you did,

464
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: but because the government mandated you close your doors. In

465
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: my thirty six years of life, that's never happened. Right now,

466
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: if you broke laws or whatever, they might take away

467
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 1: your business license or take away your alcohol license if

468
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: you're a business or you know, a restaurant or whatever.

469
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: They are individual things that can but if you were

470
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: just following the rules and doing everything is planned in

471
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: about you know, early April, you were told to shut

472
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: it down, close the doors, and it was, you know,

473
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: ten years into a bull market, a lot of people

474
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: have got aggressive and risk a lot of things. And

475
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: you've all seen the numbers. It's been, uh, catastrophic for

476
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: many businesses. And I think the thing that hurts people

477
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: like me the most for those type people is for

478
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: many of them, it was completely out of their control.

479
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: They had no control of of any of the restrictions

480
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: levied by the government in UH during this during this

481
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: virus in pandemic. It's been awful, but it is a

482
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: good lesson, like you just never know. And some of

483
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: the richest people I've known have always told me, like

484
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: when their businesses are at their peak or they've never

485
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: made more money, they're just like you just it could

486
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: all change tomorrow. Uh. And now the older I get,

487
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: like you kind of get some perspective. I mean, Monday,

488
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: it's I'm recording this, Uh, you know, it's the stock

489
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: market today. I like, I'm sure many people listening it

490
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: was a bloodbath. You never know. I lost, you know,

491
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: five figures today and some of my socks. I was

492
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: way up. I was thinking, like, should I cash you

493
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: out a little bit, take myself a little commission, little

494
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey style. Uh. Ended up not doing it. You know,

495
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: there's not as much money to take out now, I'll

496
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: promise you that. Now. I'm not worried. It's long term play,

497
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: but you just never know. So I understand. And one

498
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: thing I learned when I was in the NFL, A

499
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: position of strength can become a position of weakness very fast,

500
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: just because you know, on September one or October fift

501
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: you look at your roster and you see five Pro

502
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: bowlers on your offensive line hypothetically right, or a wide

503
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: receiver group that you think is one of the best

504
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Two injuries later, you could be in

505
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: shambles and that could be a weakness. We see it

506
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: happen all the time, especially now with injuries. Right. So

507
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: I understand making making bold plays on players, and that's

508
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: what it looks like. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers who were

509
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: signing Antonio Brown will do now. I knew people with

510
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders when they signed Antonio Brown, and some of

511
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: the stories I hear heard post Antonio Brown, we're crazy

512
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: and the things were never based. I guess crazy would

513
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: be strong, but just what you would think of with

514
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: a nut job, right, Uh, you know, just just full

515
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: on disrespect in meetings. Uh, not showing up obviously. The

516
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: helmet debacle is must is publicized. The one thing you

517
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: never heard of though, work ethic on the practice field

518
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: when he showed was fantastic. And he's, you know, an

519
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: elite player. He's never been out of shape and he

520
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: never hasn't dominated. But everything else gets a little crazy now, Tom,

521
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 1: because once you become a certain figure, you feel you

522
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: can take more risks. I I've done some reading, a

523
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: k A. Some listening. I'm a big audio book guy

524
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: and I've tried to just listen to different audio books

525
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: definitely over the last couple of months. I'm like, I've

526
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: watched everything on Netflix and and almost said Antonio Amazon Prime,

527
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: and I just I need to I need to read.

528
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I don't really want to read, so

529
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: I listen and I get audio books and I'm an

530
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: audio consumer, so I'll listen to audio books. I listened

531
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: to Bob Iger's book just about his kind of career,

532
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: and it was he was the CEO of me for

533
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: a long time. I think technically he still is. He

534
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: was gonna retire and the pandemic and he kind of

535
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: came back. Fascinating story. Obviously had a lot of big

536
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: hits because they got to the point like where Disney

537
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: we can do anything. They merged with Pixar, you know,

538
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: the Steve Jobs that was huge. Obviously, they took over Marvel.

539
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've if you checked, if you're

540
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: a movie watcher, that the the Iron Man's and The

541
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 1: Spider Man's made Disney a shipload of money. But they

542
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: also made a lot of mistakes. And he talked about

543
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: it in the book of like we thought we could

544
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: do no wrong. Who wants to be a millionaire? Became

545
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: a big hit, and they tried to like double down

546
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: on that. He had several television shows that big time

547
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: flopped and you don't hear about that. You know, obviously ESPN,

548
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: which they owned, Uh had they had remember they did

549
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: a phone Uh. They obviously have several television shows that

550
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: consistently flop, but we only talked about the good stuff. Right.

551
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: First take has been a hit, so we talked about

552
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: First Take. I don't watch it, but I'm saying economically

553
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: for them, and obviously Disney like not everything you do

554
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: is gonna go smoothly, and you have to know that

555
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: in business as you do in football. But Tampa has

556
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: a pretty good thing going and their wide receiver room

557
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: and I would just say their weapons in general are

558
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: the strength of their team. And I get Tom Brady

559
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: is surely pounding the table for him and unlike I saw, it,

560
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: got tweeted out that Tom Brady sent Tony Robbins uh

561
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown's way, and listen, I think Antonio Brown is insane.

562
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: But everyone I saw quoting the tweet, all the media

563
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: people talked a bunch of ship. Do you know what

564
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: I would do if someone sent Tony Robbins my way?

565
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: I would say thank you. I would. I thought that

566
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: was awesome. I'm like, I commend Tom for doing that,

567
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: and maybe it helped him, maybe it didn't, but I mean,

568
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: how many people have done anything? You know? Obviously Tom

569
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: knows him as a friend, so it wouldn't be like

570
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: Tom sending him to me or you or some guy

571
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: that like he doesn't know and selfishly Antonio Brown can

572
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: help Tom Brady. But like I I'm impressed by that move.

573
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: Like that's why Tom Brady is a great quarter. He's

574
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: a high level individual. He does high level shit. The

575
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: media who just always wants misery, of course they hate that,

576
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: Like I actually think and listen, I'm not some Antonio

577
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: Brown defender. I would not sign him if I was them.

578
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: Tom wants him, and I think what Tom has meant

579
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: so far to their team. There's got to be a

580
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: give and take in any relationship personally or professionally. And

581
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: after Tom kind of proved his worth, and now that

582
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: Antonio is clear, and maybe if I was Bruce Arians

583
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: or Jason Light, maybe I talked to Tony Robbins and

584
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: asked what he thought of him, and I saw Bruce

585
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: Arians gave a quote that he thinks he's matured. But

586
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks now back to back weeks. They

587
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: beat the ship out of the Green Bay Packers. The

588
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: game was actually close against the Raiders. They ended up

589
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: winning at forty five to twenty. They're high end now

590
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: as a team is they can be the best team

591
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: in the NFC. You're the best team in the NFC.

592
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: That means you can win the Super Bowl. So they

593
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: are taking a risk. Now, it's not a very expensive

594
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: one and they can surely get out of it too.

595
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: The acts like an idiot, but I listen, I don't know.

596
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: The upside is they get one of the best players

597
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: we've ever seen to go along with Mike Evans and

598
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin and the running backs and the greatest quarterback

599
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: we've ever seen, with a really good coach and a

600
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: good defense, and they dominate and they kill everyone. Where

601
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: it goes poorly is all of a sudden, he starts

602
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: acting weird, and I bet that's where if Jason Ltte

603
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: was here, is like, we're not guaranteeing him any money.

604
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: If Mike Evans says he hates him, our wide receiver

605
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: coach doesn't like him. If he starts acting weird too, guys,

606
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: we will cut him now. Part of that is the

607
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: Patriots did that when they were like sexual assault allegations,

608
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: And I always struggle with the media acts like allegations

609
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: are facts. I mean, we have enough information now, Uh,

610
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: an allegation is not necessarily true or false. We don't know,

611
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: and so I never know when these things come out.

612
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't unless I was there, I can't tell you.

613
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: No one knows except the people that are there. So

614
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to Antonio Brown over the

615
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: years with that. But when that happened, the Patriots had

616
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: no choice. They had to get rid of him. And

617
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: it's it's been you know, written about. Tom was not

618
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: happy with that. It's like Tom, like we had, we

619
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: didn't have a choice. We gotta get rid of this guy,

620
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: like we've had issues before in the past. We have

621
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: zero talent with that. We're not giving Antonio Brown the

622
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. The guy the Raiders just cut

623
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: because he burned his feet off and refused to practice

624
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: with a normal helmet, Like I I'm sorry that guy

625
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: didn't get the benefit doubt. Like have the Buccaneers had

626
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: the conversation with Tom and told him, like if he

627
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: gets squirrely, if we get uncomfortable as actions, we can

628
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 1: cut him. Or if that happens and we cut him,

629
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: as Tom gonna be mad because now that Tom is

630
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: with the Buccaneers, like he's been the most important player

631
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: they've clearly signed in a decade, you know. I mean,

632
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: he's changed the franchise and he's gonna make them. He's

633
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: immediately already made them a super Bowl contender, and I

634
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: just that they're down a slippery slope. I wouldn't have

635
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: done it, though I understand why they did do that.

636
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: I just hope they've talked it out with Tom and

637
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: should told him kind of the baseline of what's expected

638
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: and what will go because of Tony Robbins and all

639
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: that stuff is. And Antonio Brown has been on the

640
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: low and clearly done a much better job of staying

641
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: under the radar. But the moment you joined the Tampa

642
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers, you're back under the radar and everyone's watching you.

643
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: I guess under the radar you wouldn't be seen. You're

644
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: back on the radar. Everyone's seeing you. Everyone's talking to you.

645
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: You're doing zoom meetings, you're at practice, you're in these games.

646
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: You're just you're in the spotlight again. And that's to

647
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: me where Antonio Brown showed he's really struggled. I think

648
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: Belichick's the best coach ever in the NFL. I think

649
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: he's arguably the best coach in sports history. His team

650
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: is terrible, and they're headed down a slippery slope of

651
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: not mediocrity of a three or four win team. Cam

652
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Newton the guy that played on Sunday against the Niners.

653
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: Their team does not have close to the talent of

654
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: the Niners, but the version of that Patriot team versus

655
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: the Niners was much worse because of how shitty Cam

656
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: Newton was. He struggled to complete basic routes, like a

657
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: basic out route. He didn't probably get it within ten

658
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: feet of the guy. It's skipped on the ground. His

659
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: release looks funky, his balls not coming out of his hand.

660
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: He has no accuracy. He's an awful player. Now the

661
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: Niners have got their juice back and their offense is

662
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: really good. Kyle's a big time coach, and their team

663
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: has just kind of found their mojo again. After the

664
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: Rams game and then this game, I was not expecting

665
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots to beat him. I put money on the Niners,

666
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: so nothing shocked me necessarily about the outcome. The one

667
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: thing that did shock me is how bad Cam is.

668
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: Right now, Cam is Cam doesn't look like starting NFL quarterback.

669
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: Cam looks like a guy that should be on a

670
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: practice squad, And I was saying probably a month ago,

671
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: that I thought this guy was the steel of the

672
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: year because after that Seattle game, I don't know how

673
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: you couldn't think that, Well, that guy has disappeared, whether

674
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: you know he got Corona, but he's just been bad

675
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: now for a month he's been ever since that game,

676
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 1: he has not been good. And if you're not accurate,

677
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: you can't play quarterback, simple period, point blank. I think

678
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: Belichick will know after this season what his long term

679
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: outlook is for the rest of the year. They beat

680
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: the Bills, who knows, maybe Cam just had a couple

681
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: off weeks. If they get rolled again. Now the Bills,

682
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who I was kind of I was stroking

683
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: for a little while, is looks he's lost a little

684
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: bit of his mojo. And the Bill's defense isn't that good. Hell,

685
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: the Jets, a team that I also bet against this weekend,

686
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: cover the spread, and that game was actually pretty close,

687
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: and the Bills really struggled against the Jets, which they

688
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: should not struggle against the Jets. I think we all

689
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: agree the Jets are not going to win a football

690
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: game this year. But Bill Belichick and the Patriots if

691
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 1: they lose this game there, two and five, and they're

692
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: not gonna make the playoffs. The a f C is

693
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna have you know, probably seven teams with ten plus wins,

694
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: and the Bills would just probably cruise the division. But

695
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: the point is his team sucks. The talent is not

696
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: on the roster. He had a bunch of opt outs. True,

697
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: but Nikil Harry, who I would have drafted two if

698
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: I was him, is not good. Edelman is old. They

699
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: don't have any other talent at tight end or wide receiver.

700
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: Their offensive line, it's just kind of man defensively. Even

701
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: their backups, which most of their starters opted out beside

702
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: like mccordy and Gilmore stink. They don't have any talent.

703
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 1: Why not just bottom out? And if someone told me

704
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL, he's like, you know what you should

705
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: do a topic on I said what he's like, Why

706
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: wouldn't Belichick ensure the Jets couldn't get the number one pick?

707
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: Because let's say there are multiple teams. I I don't

708
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: think the Jack's gonna win another game. Uh, it's gonna

709
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: be difficult for the Giants to win probably more than

710
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: three games. What if would if Belichick threw those two

711
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: games against the Jets. Now, Bill is a good enough

712
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: coach where he probably couldn't get the number one pick.

713
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: They already have two wins, they probably end up with

714
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: four or five, but he could make sure that the

715
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: fucking Jets don't get it. And I think I was like,

716
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's not really Belichick style, but if his

717
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: team so terrible, if all of a sudden they're two

718
00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: and seven or three and ten, why not lose both

719
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: the Jets games on purpose. When you think Belichick and

720
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: you think the teams he hates, I think two teams.

721
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: He can't stand the Colts because he hates Ryan Grigson.

722
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: He hated Polian. He hates the Colts, despises them. He

723
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: liked Peyton Manning, he hated their management, and he was

724
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: right Grigson turn them in for the flight gate. Poland

725
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: was always bitching and moaning about his about his corners. Uh,

726
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm on team Belichick on both those two arguments. The

727
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: other team that he clearly hates the New York Jets,

728
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: and the irony is the Jets. The majority of his

729
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: career at the Patriots have been zero factor. They had

730
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: a couple of years erect Ryan rather than that. I

731
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: bet if we looked up his career record against the

732
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: Jets in his twenty plush years in New England, he's

733
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: beating the crap out of him. But he hates him.

734
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he hates the franchise. Uh for Maybe it

735
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: was the way he left, I don't know, But what

736
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: if he screwed up their path to get Trevor Lawrence?

737
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: And he would not do that if his team was

738
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: competing for the playoffs. He just wouldn't. And even Colin

739
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: Coward was talking about Belichick taking the season. I never

740
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: bought it. That's not how Belichick's wired. He's too competitive

741
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: and he's just too good of a coach. Once you

742
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: watch his team and it turns out Cam Newton sucks,

743
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: we also can tell Jared Sidham isn't that good. We

744
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: already know Brian Horror sucks. His quarterbacks are awful. You

745
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: can't win in the NFL when you don't know that

746
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: much talent in your quarterback plays bad. I don't care

747
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: if you've got Bill Belichick, if you've got Tom Landry,

748
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: or you got Bill Parcel's, you're not gonna win many games.

749
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: But the Jets are on a collision course with Trevor Lawrence,

750
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: and if I was Trevor Lawrence, right, I was justin fields.

751
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: The one thing I would do is I would refuse

752
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: to play in Jacksonville. The franchise is a just a

753
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: god awful franchise. They never win and it's a tiny

754
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: market where you can't make any money. A lot of

755
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: people think that the guys should do that to New York.

756
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: I got news for you. They will not do that

757
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: to New York. Way too much money to be weighed

758
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: with the Jets, and for as bad as the Jets are,

759
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: they have been successful in the last couple of decades

760
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a new coach. So I just

761
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: don't see any player doing that with the Jets. The

762
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: market's too big, too much cash to be made. With

763
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,959
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, I would do that. The Giants. Who knows

764
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: if they would take a quarterback what they would do

765
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones. We'll see. Texans. I guess they didn't

766
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: have to pick. The Dolphins would, but the Dolphins would

767
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: trade the pick. The Patriots have to start thinking about

768
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: if they lose this week, and to me, this is

769
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: a kitchen sink week. The Bills, who I don't even

770
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: know if they're that good anymore, which is crazy because

771
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: I thought they were one of the best teams in

772
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: the league a couple of weeks ago, but that's not

773
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: the case anymore. I think Belichick would have to start

774
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: thinking Bill Bell big picture, how do I ruin the

775
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: Jets season and position myself to change my franchise so

776
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: next year I can have top five picks, a top

777
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: five pick, and then picks in every round and make

778
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: sure that the New York Jets don't get the don't

779
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 1: get Trevor Lawrence. That that's that to me, is where

780
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: you pivot. And that wasn't my original idea. It was

781
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: Scout in the NFL. It's actually I thought the idea

782
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: was crazy, and then once I watched the Niners play

783
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots, something like, Actually, that idea makes a lot

784
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: of sense because Belichick not just owes it to his owner,

785
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: but owes it to himself, Like this team is nowhere

786
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: near with Brady leven Gronk Levin. He's missed on a

787
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: lot of players in recent drafts, Like he just doesn't

788
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: have any impact young guys. You watch their team in

789
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: the first and second rounders, there's no impact. That's on

790
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: him for the majority of the last twenty years. It

791
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: didn't matter because he had Tom, he had Gronk, he

792
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: had mccordy, he had high Tower. They always get back,

793
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: like a Jamie Collins. They'd make a trade for Danny Shelton.

794
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 1: They'd make a trade for whoever. They'd make a trade

795
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: for Mohammed Sanow who cares. Turns out they gave up

796
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: a second rounder Mohammed Sanans not even in the NFL. Well,

797
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: the moment, you don't have a quarterback. All that stuff

798
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: matters because you don't have the talent around him. Like

799
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: part of the reason, like the Niners like right now,

800
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: because like Jimmy Garoppolo hasn't been very good this year. Well,

801
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: in their wins, it doesn't matter. They got George Kittle,

802
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: they got Brandon a youth, they got Deebo Samuel Still,

803
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: got Fred Warner. They got impact players, and they got

804
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: Trent Williams, got impact players in other positions where he Mozart.

805
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: They got good backups, you know, guys that could make place.

806
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: The Pages don't have any guys that can make plays.

807
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 1: You're watching the Niners play the Patriots like this Varsity Verse, JV.

808
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: Belichick is no dummy. He understands that. And if Cam

809
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: Newton is gonna play like shit and Jared Sidham just

810
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: isn't good to me, the move is just in sure

811
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: you keep losing, but make sure you lose those two

812
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: Jets games. Okay, let's dive into some stuff from this weekend.

813
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: We'll just go kind of rapid fire. Things I saw,

814
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: things that happened. Some thoughts start on Saturday. I talked

815
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: last week about Justin Fields. Uh, you know, I just

816
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: did a little drinking this week, so it wasn't super

817
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 1: locked in on Saturday, but did catch a good amount

818
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: of the Ohio State game. Uh, he's gonna be a

819
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: really good player. He is a good player. Ohio States stacked.

820
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: They should be a playoff team. Uh, you would think

821
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 1: maybe Michigan give him better grant game. Minnesota their schedules

822
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: pretty easy. Uh. I think, yeah, they would play Penn

823
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,479
Speaker 1: State because they're in their their side. But Penn State

824
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: losing in the Anna. Obviously, Clemson is really good. Alabama,

825
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 1: who you know, I love Alabama. But Jalen Waddle broke

826
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: his ankle or leg or foot or something. I think

827
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: his I think his ankle. He's out for the season.

828
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: That's a big blow to Alabama. I mean, their defense stinks,

829
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: stinks would be strong, but it's nowhere near what it

830
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: once was. They're an offensive team and Nazi Harris Baller,

831
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: Davante Smith Baller and Jalen Smith Bahler and now with

832
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: no you know, Waddle, it's it's not gonna be as easy.

833
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: I I hope it doesn't impact his draft stock that much.

834
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: I doubt it will as long as this was a

835
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 1: clean break. But that was a pretty big blow. Uh,

836
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: it's about my only takes probably from Saturday wasn't too

837
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: longden as the day went on, But Sunday we'll got

838
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: ready to watch some NFL football Pittsburgh, Tennessee. Everything I

839
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: want in an NFL game. I say it all the time.

840
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: I watched football for several reasons, like I love, uh

841
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,280
Speaker 1: the two coaches and just the tactical side of this sport.

842
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's an intellectual game despite being a

843
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: very violent game. And I love the violence of football.

844
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: You know. For as great as Sunday night was, it

845
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: gets a little seven on seven for me. Now I

846
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: enjoyed the game. Now, granted I had the over in

847
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game. But I'd rather see kind of

848
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: an old school dudes getting blasted on every play in Tennessee.

849
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: In Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh brings the heat, and I think Tennessee,

850
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: like it's pretty clear. I'd say Kansas CY is the

851
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: best team in the league. I put Pittsburgh number two.

852
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: If Pittsburg's the second best team in the league, it's

853
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: pretty clear. The Titans are damn good too, and Derrick

854
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: Henry is just a star. Uh. I love Rabel. That

855
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: was a very very good showing when they easily could

856
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: have tapped out because Pittsburgh's kind of dominating earlier. But

857
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: I just love the physicality of that game and just

858
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean it felt like the round two of the playoffs. Um,

859
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: it was awesome. I mean, there's an impressive little stretch.

860
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see how impressive it is. Pittsburgh plays

861
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens this week. I think it's in Baltimore. Uh,

862
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: but that get that game was fun. I mean, we

863
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: remember we had to wait for it because the Corona

864
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: tests with Tennessee. So it eventually came and it definitely

865
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: lived up the hype for me. The Browns. You know,

866
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: I tweeted something early in that game that you know,

867
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: if you just watched the quarterbacks, there's a chance that

868
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: if you're just talking about talent, Baker Mayfield most might

869
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: be the least talented player first starting quarterback in the

870
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: league all thirty two. Now, you could argue a couple

871
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: of guys at the bottom, but he's a bottom five talent,

872
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: not a great athlete, not a great harm And everyone's like, oh,

873
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: he beat the Bengals. Yeah, they're the Bengals. I mean,

874
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna win two games max this season. They suck now,

875
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow stud covered every spread this year. I think

876
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: he pushed Week one. But he's an excellent player. Like,

877
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: it's just I opening how good he is given how

878
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: shitty his offensive line is. If I was a Bengal fan,

879
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't wait for this offseason and just to keep

880
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: building around Joe Burrow and the Browns their playoffs. This

881
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: weekend they beat the Raiders. I just don't see how

882
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: they're not a playoff team. Maybe six and two, um,

883
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: I mean they probably won't beat the brown or the

884
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: Ravens or the Steelers this year, but it won't matter

885
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: because you're six and two, you basically can go. They

886
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: could probably go three and five the second half of

887
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 1: the season and get that seventh wild card spot because

888
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: they have the type breaker over the Raiders. Raiders be

889
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: three and four, that the three playoff spots would be

890
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,959
Speaker 1: either be the Ravens or the Steelers, who doesn't doesn't

891
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: win the division, and the Browns and and the Colts.

892
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: That that would be a playoff teams right there. You

893
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: know your wild card teams, excuse me, then the Bills,

894
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs and UH Titans, and then like I said, the

895
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: winner of the Steelers and the Ravens, whoever wins the division,

896
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: so you just would be the playoffs. It's pretty crazy.

897
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the Browns can borderline solidify themselves as a

898
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: playoff team this year, and I think that it's gonna be.

899
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: The hard part is, and this gets back to Baker,

900
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: they could do that without really beating anyone good. You know,

901
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: they really could. I don't necessarily consider the Eaters good,

902
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: but you know, if they get swept by the Ravens

903
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: and the Steelers, I think they would be heavy underdogs

904
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: obviously in the wild card. But it's listen to Browns

905
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Everyone should rejoice that that's a huge

906
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: step forward for the franchise. The Lions. Now, I guess

907
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: they have a good win over the Cardinals, but there's

908
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: somehow three and three like you just watch them, Stafford,

909
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't think they're gonna be

910
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: good enough on d but I don't think they're gonna

911
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: be the complete train wreck that we once thought. Um

912
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: I had a little cash on them too, So it's

913
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: cool to see that moment. I don't know, I haven't

914
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: seen any patricious quotes. You know, he's Belichick. Actually probably

915
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't admit it if they told their defender to pretend

916
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: to tackle him and you know, kind of mentally psyched

917
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: them out so he could score. Obviously, Todd Gurley, if

918
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: he could do it over again, would have stopped. I

919
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,439
Speaker 1: think it's hard sometimes your instincts take over. But letting

920
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: him score, you don't sometimes see that was the right play.

921
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about the Sunday Night game

922
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 1: and Russ and just the the Seattle's defense, but I've

923
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: talked about it before. That graphic last Monday Night of

924
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray being oh or excuse me, forty two and

925
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: oh in high school and a bunch of people in

926
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: Texas had had tweeted at me who said they saw

927
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: him in high school. I thought he was the best

928
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: high school quarterback in the history of the state, which

929
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: is really saying something. When you factor in how short

930
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: he is, it's one of the most remarkable things I've

931
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: ever seen. I mean, that guy is so fucking talented

932
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: it's stupid. His athleticism, his speed, his arm talent, his

933
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: arms strength, his accuracy when he's in rhythm, he is.

934
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: He's box office, you know, I mean, he really is.

935
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: I liked him in college. Who didn't. I mean, it

936
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: was hard to watch him, and I think he was

937
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: a big time talent beside Cliff Kingsbury, though I don't

938
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: know if anyone thought he'd be this good. Like he's

939
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: eye popping where you just watch him, you go there.

940
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: That's like what a pro Bowl looks like, pro bowler

941
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: looks like. And one thing is pretty clear. The way

942
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: they handled the Josh rosendal Uh, there was never gonna

943
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: be a right way to handle it. You would take

944
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: Cala Murray over Josh Rosen seven days a week and

945
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 1: seven million times on Sunday. I mean, it's just it's

946
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: probably the easiest deal they will ever do, and they

947
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: they nailed it and it changed their franchise. Now there

948
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, I I still don't trust them

949
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Rams, when it comes to Seattle,

950
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Niners, when they just play

951
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: random games, I feel better about them than I do

952
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. And you've seen the Cardinals have lost the Lions,

953
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: they got killed by the Panthers. But I do think

954
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: the Cardinals play well against the NFC West. Beat the

955
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: Niners week one at home, just beat Seattle. I think

956
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: they'll probably adminum split with the Rams, like they're gonna

957
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: go probably at worst three and three in the division.

958
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: There's a chance they go four and two. So it

959
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: just can they go six and four in their out

960
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: of conference games and they get the NFC East. But

961
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: that's the thing, like if you told me the Washington

962
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: team or one of the random NFC East teams beat them.

963
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: They killed the Cowboys, but the Eagles, I believe it.

964
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 1: But if they can take care of business against the

965
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: NFC East, probably a playoff team, uh, and I would

966
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: have to eat my words a little bit. Now. Their

967
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: defense is awful. Isaiah Simmons as I was texting with

968
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: buddies in the league. I mean all of my friends

969
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: thought he was the most overrated prospect in in a

970
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: long long time. And when I say overrated prospect, I

971
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: mean the hype on a guy that was clearly gonna

972
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: go probably in the top ten that I had buddies

973
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: that said, like, I wouldn't take him in the first

974
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: couple of rounds and he struggles to get on the field. Now,

975
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: he did make a nice play against Russ that pick,

976
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: But the biggest beef against him is he doesn't have

977
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: a position. He's not physical and instinctive enough to be

978
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: like a middle linebacker, you know, like a Fred Warner

979
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: despite being a good athlete, and he's kind of stiff

980
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: where he can't just play deep safety, and you know,

981
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: you need a really dynamic coordinator to use them. And

982
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,240
Speaker 1: I see people tweeting like, well they use Buddha Baker,

983
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: Like Buddha's just a more natural instinctive He's a safety.

984
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: He has a pass. Isaiah Simmons could not do what

985
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker does, and Buddha Baker it is good. I

986
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 1: didn't realize. I feel like I've watched like at minimum

987
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: half the Cardinal Stabs this year and every other play.

988
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: The guy dominates. That guy is a badass, huge Buddha

989
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: Baker fan here. Uh, that's probably I don't I guess

990
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 1: there's what what do you can say about the Cowboys?

991
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I've I've said my piece. I get a

992
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: lot of d m s, like why do people in

993
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: the national media keep talking about the Cowboys? What we

994
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: do is pretty simple. You know, if if you have

995
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: a television show or a radio show, a national show,

996
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: you talk about the biggest brands because that gets the

997
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,959
Speaker 1: most amount of people. You wouldn't spend time talking about

998
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays when you can talk about the

999
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: Yankees of the Dodgers. You know, at the end of

1000
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: the day, push comes to shove. That's the best part

1001
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: of the NFL. Like you can talk about smaller markets

1002
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: because Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson like their national brands. But

1003
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys do resonate with a lot of people in America,

1004
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of people the Cowboys have

1005
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: a large quantity of fans. It's it's just basic business.

1006
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: If you want the most people to listen to you,

1007
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: you talk about the the thing that most people like.

1008
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: You know, you know or are passionate about, and the

1009
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys do have a huge fan base like o how State.

1010
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I bet Ohio State. You know, I've said

1011
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: this before. Probably is like a top seven or eight

1012
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: football brand including the NFL in America. And it's it's

1013
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: pretty clear the ones that are right. It's the Cowboys

1014
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: thinking about the Packers. Despite being a small brand, they

1015
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: have a huge, huge market. It's why the Yankees and

1016
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: Lebron and I actually think the Lebron thing has jumped

1017
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: the shark and you see the NBA ratings in the tank.

1018
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: Lebron has now been like such a public superstar for

1019
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: so long. I think people are just tired of him.

1020
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: Like his topics bore me. They bore me, and I like,

1021
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: I like basketball, but you're like, you're gonna talk Lebron.

1022
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm a change channel. I've been listening to it for

1023
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,240
Speaker 1: seventeen years. I think he's one of the best players

1024
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,919
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. But I just don't give a ship

1025
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: like this kid smoked a point and like the moment

1026
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: that happens all these I unfollowed Bleacher Report like a

1027
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: week ago. It's the best thing I ever did. Like,

1028
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: if you guys tweet out one more picture of what

1029
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: Lebron's backyard looks like. I was gonna puke. I I've

1030
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: unfollowed it, and I feel like I feel liberated. I

1031
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: feel great. I mean, there's their tweets are just so

1032
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: stupid and uh and yeah, the Cowboys stink. Okay, let's

1033
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: go a little middle Coff mail back at John Middlecoff

1034
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: is my Instagram handle, slide up in those d m s.

1035
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: Get on this little thing we like to call a podcast,

1036
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: and uh and yeah, we'll go from there. Okay. I

1037
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: told this guy that I would answer his question Dylan

1038
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 1: this week because I did not answer it last week.

1039
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: Updated my question for the pod. So this Dallas defense

1040
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: might be the worst defense I've ever seen. Apparently, how

1041
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: forgetting how to play football is a symptom of COVID

1042
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: in Texas. Trying to realistic and optimistic here, and I

1043
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: predict we will go five and eleven and no, but

1044
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: with a top ten pick. I optimistically assumed Jerry will

1045
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: do the right thing, and can Mike Nolan, who are

1046
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: your realistic DC options for Dallas? And what do you

1047
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: think with that pick? Ideally, the offensive issues with Dallas

1048
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: sort themselves out with the return of the offensive lineman,

1049
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: defense needs, free agents, draft helps. So what do you do?

1050
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: Thanks again for taking the time, No problem, but uh,

1051
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: I I think the main issue if you're the Dallas

1052
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys is you're not Mike Nolan, who I said was

1053
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: the number one problem. And you know, I'll take a

1054
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: little victory lap again, It's not like I was in

1055
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: college when he was the coach of the Niners. It's

1056
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: just like, have we followed football. Mike Nolan hasn't been

1057
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: an eventsive coordinator in over a decade. No one was

1058
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 1: making in the defensive coordinator. He's just not a good coach.

1059
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 1: He's just not a good coach, and he wanted to

1060
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: change the scheme like it wasn't gonna work. Now, I'll

1061
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: be the first to admit I didn't think it was

1062
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna be this bad. I just thought that they would.

1063
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: I mean to be honest, I probably thought they'd win

1064
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: eight or nine games, their defense would just be below average.

1065
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: They never thought it would look like this. I think

1066
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: what Jerry has to be doing, and I've talked about

1067
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: it before, is the mistakes in business are really costly,

1068
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: and anyone listening in smaller businesses know that sometimes you

1069
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: just can't overcome them, so you almost have the right

1070
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 1: amount because you can't afford stuff. And you know, it's

1071
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: why fortunate companies always typically have the money to make

1072
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: up for mistakes. But they're just the Excel spreadsheet. They

1073
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: don't want to lose money. That sometimes they get into

1074
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: worst situations because they don't cut bait. Jerry, it's pretty

1075
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: black and white. Money is no issue for Jerry. Yet

1076
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: he's watching Mike McCarthy be one of the worst head

1077
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: coaches in the league. What does Mike McCarthy do. He

1078
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: doesn't call the offensive plays. He obviously has nothing to

1079
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: do with the defense. I thought Mike McCarthy was a

1080
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,760
Speaker 1: solid head coach. I gave the benefit of doubt. I'm like, listen, Rogers,

1081
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, this intellectual elite who's a great player, but

1082
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: just you know, they had a fallen out. You know,

1083
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: I know that article said that Rogers thought he was

1084
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 1: a meat head. It's like, listen, we all, for whatever reason,

1085
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: every single person listening has people they just that have

1086
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: worked with that they just don't like for whatever reason, boss, coworker, whatever.

1087
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: And sometimes the longer around someone, the more you hate him.

1088
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: So I was just like, you know, I I just

1089
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: I think Rogers the more talented of the two. But

1090
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:27,879
Speaker 1: let's just let this play out. I think Mike's sali

1091
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: head coach. I don't think that anymore. I think Mike's

1092
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,919
Speaker 1: terrible head coach. I just watched his team every week

1093
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: and I'm not even judging them off like plays or scheme.

1094
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm just setting them off. Effort just just a lifeless,

1095
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: effortless group that hit on Andy Dalton, no one caring,

1096
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: no one does anyone even like each other in the

1097
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: locker room. Now, fairness to Mike, he doesn't pick the players.

1098
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 1: The owner does. Who's also the GM Cowboys aren't just

1099
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: a just a terrible spot. I mean they really are,

1100
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: and I don't really know what to do. They're just

1101
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: in a terrible spot. The big fan of the Pods

1102
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: listen religiously. Fellow agg business major here from Colorado State.

1103
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: I feel like the Broncos don't get the credit as

1104
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: one of the best franchise in the NFL. I know

1105
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: they suck lately, and I know I'm biased, but I

1106
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: think they should be a top five programs of all

1107
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: time in the NFL. They've won three Super Bowls and

1108
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: they've played in eight of them. Considering they've only had

1109
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: nine losing seasons in the history, I think they should

1110
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: be considered one of the best franchise in football. But

1111
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: don't hear anything about them from NFL media giving them

1112
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: the praises they give it to like the Steelers and

1113
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,479
Speaker 1: the Ravens and other franchises praise understandably, but I don't

1114
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: hear much other about the Broncos. One of the best

1115
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 1: quarterbacks of all time in Lway and one of the

1116
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 1: most underrated owners in Pat Bowland. Just wanted to know

1117
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Denver as far as the top five

1118
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: NFL franchise of all time. Also, who are your top

1119
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: five NFL franchises? Yeah, I mean listen to the Denver

1120
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: Broncos are an elite franchise. Denver badass place to live.

1121
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,439
Speaker 1: Like you said, a ton of history. You don't lose

1122
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: that much. You've won. You want two Super Bowls with

1123
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: l Way, you got back again with Peyton, you want

1124
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: another one's last year in the league, like the franchise badass,

1125
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: they're just going through a rough time. The team looks

1126
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: terrible right now. Now they've had a bunch of injuries.

1127
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's a big time franchise. I

1128
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: don't know what are we basing big times like franchises

1129
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: off of, like history, how much money they make, how

1130
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: popular they are, you know. I I think if you

1131
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: told me that you could go work for the Denver

1132
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: Broncos as like a head coach with the GM, I

1133
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: think that would be a badass job. Now would you

1134
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,720
Speaker 1: want to be the head coach of this Denver Bronco team?

1135
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: Probably not. You gotta answer to John Elway, who is

1136
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: the most famous player in the history of the franchise.

1137
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: And I've always supported John Elway when a lot of

1138
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:38,919
Speaker 1: people are shipping on him, like, I think he's pretty

1139
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: good at his job, but he's I don't know if

1140
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 1: he's the easiest guy to work with being the head coach.

1141
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: He sits in the box and listens to or at

1142
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,439
Speaker 1: least he did before. I don't. I haven't. I haven't

1143
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: really seen the Broncos play this year, but I remember

1144
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: with Vance Joseph he'd be in the coach's box listening.

1145
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, you're not Al Davis here. Uh So,

1146
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,439
Speaker 1: I think that element in the franchise is a little

1147
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: tough my top five franchises. I mean, I don't know,

1148
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys, the Packers, the Steelers. Uh, you know,

1149
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens have only been doing it twenty years. But

1150
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: if I bring up the Patriots, they've really only been

1151
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: good for twenty years. You know. Growing up for the

1152
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: first twenty years of my life, the Niners were kicking

1153
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: the ship out of everybody. So you know, I think

1154
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: I think there are ten franchise that a well run,

1155
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: that make a bunch of money, that have huge part

1156
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: of it is having a huge fan base, because you

1157
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: can make a lot of money, right Like, like, the

1158
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: Niners have a way bigger franchise, uh fan base than

1159
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. But if you just look at the

1160
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: last ten years, Seattle has been way better than Niners.

1161
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: But the Niners make more money than them, bigger market.

1162
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, the Cowboys who don't win, make more money

1163
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: than everybody. Uh. The Packers who don't have that big

1164
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: of a market. Who I've been to Raider games and

1165
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: Niner games against the Packers, I swear to god, it

1166
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: was majority Green Bay Packer fans. Packer fans, they have

1167
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: a massive fan base. Same with the Steelers. I have

1168
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: been to both Steeler games at both those places too,

1169
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: and they they sell out. So I mean, I think

1170
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: those two franchises are big time franchise. I think the

1171
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: Patriots became that with Tom Brady. Now do they maintain it?

1172
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: If they suck, we'll see, uh, because their history is

1173
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: not like you know, the Cowboys, the Niners, you know,

1174
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: a team like that. The Steelers they just kind of

1175
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: started in two has and won. Uh. I'm biased, but

1176
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: I worked for the Eagles. I know they're having a

1177
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: tough year. But just in terms of the way they run,

1178
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: the money, they make, the power in a city that's

1179
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: the top five or six market in the league. Uh,

1180
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: they're big time. I mean the Giants when I was

1181
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,479
Speaker 1: in the NFL, they want Super Bowl. So but they've

1182
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: fallen on really, really hard times. I mean, I think

1183
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: we could argue ten franchises depending on the year and

1184
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: how things are going. You know, the Steelers just they're

1185
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: always good. The Steelers are consistently always good. And for

1186
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: the most part of the Packers, you know, once Ron

1187
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: Wolf got there in three, they've been pretty consistently good

1188
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: since you know, I was like in uh in fifth grade,

1189
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: and I'm thirty six and bald now, so that those

1190
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: franchises and the Steelers probably would be the cream of

1191
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: the crop just consistently. I mean they've had three coaches

1192
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: and like franchise history. Um to me, they feel like

1193
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: Ohio State football or something. They just don't have down years.

1194
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: When are you gonna give us the story on getting

1195
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: the boot from Collins podcast? It's not getting the boot

1196
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: from Collins podcast. You guys will know here in the

1197
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: near future. It's it's not a bad thing. I just

1198
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: I just need you to go subscribe to the three

1199
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: and Out podcast by itself, I appreciate that you'll you'll

1200
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: figure out why, and it'll be cool and we'll laugh

1201
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: about it. We won't really because I don't know any

1202
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: of you guys, but you're listening, you can d M

1203
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: me and we'll shoot the ship about it. I love

1204
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: the show. In the takes, all I keep hearing is

1205
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: teams that may trade a first round pick for Donald.

1206
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: The Cardinals were only able to get a sixty second

1207
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,439
Speaker 1: pick for Rosen, which is basically a third round pick.

1208
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 1: Donald is eleven and nineteen as a starter and soon

1209
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: to be on an O N sixteen team. Not sure

1210
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: why team would give up a first round pick for

1211
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback who has done dogshit. I'm a Steelers fan,

1212
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: and that is what people are saying the Steelers should do.

1213
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: I saw last year what life without Ben looks like,

1214
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: and I just don't think Donald is the answer. Answer thoughts, well,

1215
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: I think everyone in the league. First off, most people

1216
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: didn't love Rosen coming out. He was a very polarizing prospect.

1217
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: So a big thing when a guy like Donald or

1218
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: any young player gets traded is you're basing a lot

1219
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: of it off. Is a guy like Sam Donald. If

1220
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers, if the Colts, the Niners, whoever, were to

1221
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: be aggressive for Sam Donald, You'd be basing a lot

1222
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: of that for how much you love Sam Donald in

1223
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: the draft process and what you thought he would have

1224
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: been on your team, because he's still four years old.

1225
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: And you'll just point at the Jets as being the

1226
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,439
Speaker 1: village idiots kind of what the Dolphins did. I would

1227
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,959
Speaker 1: imagine the Dolphins like Josh Rosen. Here's the thing, most

1228
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: of the league did not. My friends in the NFL

1229
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: did not like him. He also had some attitude, just

1230
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: some personal issues. It wasn't like bad character, but it

1231
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: wasn't Sam Donald was great character, really good talent. Now

1232
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: he had to be molded and he went to the Jets,

1233
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: who are just a dumpster fire. Now I'm with you,

1234
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what the exact value would be. If

1235
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: you're the Steelers and let's say you go to the

1236
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: a f C championship game, let's just go hypothetical here,

1237
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: and you lose, and you go, Okay, we're drafting, so

1238
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: you'd be drafted two of the last four picks, and

1239
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: let's just say that's the pick. You go, well, it's Corona.

1240
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: I only got like eight games of data on all

1241
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 1: these prospects. Some of them didn't even play. I don't

1242
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: have a great feel for this draft class. Ben is

1243
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: telling me, you know, he's probably got one year left. Now, Ben,

1244
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: I could see acting a little like far But I

1245
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: think when you watch him against the titles, throws a

1246
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: couple of bad plays, and he has moments where he

1247
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: really looks his age, but he's still he's an all

1248
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: time great, so all time grades even when they're at

1249
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: like I mean, should I watched Peyton Manning. I went

1250
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: to a game, I went to two games that last year.

1251
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: He couldn't throw it from me. To the wall and

1252
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: I could touch the wall right here. He was awful,

1253
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: but he was so smart that the first couple of

1254
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: drives of the game he could scheme up. And Roethlisberger

1255
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: is way better than that. But he's clearly nowhere near

1256
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: what he was like in thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, like when

1257
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: I got in the league in like ten, eleven, twelve.

1258
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he was, he was a star. So I

1259
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 1: just think you need to prepare, so could you trade?

1260
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't make sense for the Steelers to trade a first

1261
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: round pick for him when he wouldn't even play on

1262
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: your team next year. I don't know if that makes

1263
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: much sense because you have to pick up his fifth

1264
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: year option, but next year he wouldn't. He was a

1265
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: third pick in the draft, so he doesn't make I mean,

1266
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: it's not like he's making eight dand dollars. I would

1267
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: imagine making five or six million dollars. Steelers have some

1268
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: cap issues. I'm sure too. Ideally you'd like to get

1269
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: him for a second round pick. I just part of

1270
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: it's a competition, because if the Colts have a much

1271
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: better second round pick, they can just offer their second

1272
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: round pick. Who would the Jets take their second round

1273
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: pick or the seiter secon round pick where you just

1274
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: take the better pick. It's just all about market value

1275
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: to me a first you know, I'm a big believer

1276
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: this one. You want to live somewhere, like if that's

1277
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: where you're gonna live, and you're gonna live there for

1278
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: a while, and you know you're gonna live there for

1279
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: a while, like overpaying for a house, if that's the

1280
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: house you want, like you live there. I think people

1281
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: do get caught up, like if you're flipping houses. I

1282
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: was hanging out with this dude that flips houses this

1283
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: this weekend. He is so unemotional about the houses. He

1284
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: looks like he looks at a house like you and

1285
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: me look at a sandwich. It means nothing to him.

1286
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Flips it within thirty days. It's crushing it. Doing awesome, great,

1287
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: really impressive young he's like a year older than me.

1288
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: He's really impressive guy. But if you're gonna live in

1289
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:47,439
Speaker 1: a house, like who gives a ship, If you gotta

1290
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: over pay a little bit, you're gonna live there, especially

1291
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: if you have kids and you have a good yard,

1292
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: you got a lot of rooms, whatever you need. I

1293
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: think people kind of overthink that sometimes like now, when

1294
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: I bought this condo, I was like, you know, I

1295
01:03:58,000 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: want to live here the rest of my life. You

1296
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: kind of try to play the market, you know, even

1297
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: though I paid way more than the asking price, but

1298
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: that was just Bay Area real estate at the time,

1299
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: which I just saw something on the internet today that

1300
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: the Bay Area in California in general the last three

1301
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: years mass exodus. Hard to blame people, you know, eventually

1302
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: you start taxing people that make you know, eventually they're

1303
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 1: gonna say, uh, But that's a whole another discussion. I

1304
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: just think if you like the quarterback, you've got to

1305
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 1: be aggressive because, like you said, you saw no bend

1306
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: last year, and it's a miserable, fucking feeling to have

1307
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: no quarterback. Awful, It's it would be the equivalent of

1308
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 1: like any team. If you ever watch a baseball team,

1309
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: whoever your favorite baseball team is, and if we got

1310
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: a lot of younger listeners, I don't know, if you

1311
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: watch baseball, if your team can't pitch and your bullpen

1312
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 1: is bad, you just watch the same thing over and

1313
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 1: over and over again. You're like, I I can't do this.

1314
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: And when you watch a football team with a bad quarterback,

1315
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: it's like puke. You know, I'd either watch a movie

1316
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: than too bad quarterbacks play a football game. I can't like.

1317
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: I was it was tough watching Nick folest toonight. It

1318
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: really was. I I think the key is if you

1319
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: like I mean, it's got to be aggressive to get him. Now?

1320
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 1: Is he good enough? I like him? But I'll be honest,

1321
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: like i've I don't feel quite as confident as I

1322
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:21,479
Speaker 1: did three years ago. But is that the Jets? Is that?

1323
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: Is it him? That's a hard part? Like this is

1324
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: why I do a podcast now, this is why I

1325
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: don't work in the NFL. I don't know. I don't

1326
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: I I could see both ways. I wouldn't be probably

1327
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 1: that confident doing it. And I'd say the Steelers, you know,

1328
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: I think there were rumors last year they didn't really

1329
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: like Jamis, so I I couldn't see them doing that.

1330
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what quarterback they'd be interested in. Did

1331
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: you hear the tension between Romo and Nance and the

1332
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: Booth today? So much passive aggression? Time to bring in

1333
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: a new sidekick for Tony? What? What do you think?

1334
01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: Who do you think would work? What they doing? Niners

1335
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: and Pats? I wasn't super locked into the audio. I

1336
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: actually think my my one take on Nance and Romo

1337
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: is Nance or excuse me, Romo has really lightened Nance up.

1338
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: Like I'm a big golf guy, but Nance is a

1339
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, pretty cheesy. I mean it's kind of a stick.

1340
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: Uh Now I like it. Again, I'm I like the

1341
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: golf cheesy bullshit. But I could see where when I

1342
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: when I'm like in football mode, I'm like Jesus, Jim

1343
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: just called the fucking football game and he's just him

1344
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: and Phil. When Phil Sims was doing it, it was

1345
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: a bad broadcast, and I think bringing Tony in has

1346
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 1: really lightened them up. I actually think they have a

1347
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Maybe I'll have to go back and

1348
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: maybe I have to go back and watch the broadcast

1349
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: because I have one thing I feel very confident at

1350
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: with those two guys is Tony has been really good

1351
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: for Jim, and Jim likes him and they kind of

1352
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: really get along. Now. Sometimes I think as like a

1353
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: broadcast purist, which I'm not. I do think Tony kind

1354
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: of screws around out a little bit. And I'm a

1355
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 1: huge Tony fan, Like I wish I was friends with

1356
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. I want to play golf with Tony Romo.

1357
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: I want to hang out with Tony Romo. But when

1358
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm watching the game, like and I don't watch that

1359
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: many Tony Romo games because I watched probably more on Sundays,

1360
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: the NFC game with the TV with the because usually

1361
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: the Niners they just play a lot of those one

1362
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: o'clock games. I usually have that audio on and those

1363
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: guys called the a f C game, and I always

1364
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: had that on the second TV that just doesn't have audio.

1365
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of the way my TV situation I feel.

1366
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: I only watch truly a probably a small handful of

1367
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Romo Nance games. I watch a ton of Buck Achman's

1368
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: guy and maybe at the end of the day, I'm

1369
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: just more of an NFC guy than an an f

1370
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: C guy. Even though I watch a lot of Chiefs games.

1371
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: It feels like they do them. But I just maybe

1372
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: I mute a lot of them. I don't know. And

1373
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm a Tony I I like Tony, but I'm just

1374
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: I guess I'm more of an NFC audio guy. I

1375
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: gotta go back and look at that, but I I'm

1376
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: telling you, I think that, um, I think Nance loves Tony.

1377
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. Appreciate everyone listening, have a great week,
