Speaker 3: Right?

11
00:00:43,348 --> 00:00:45,948
Speaker 2: It feels lighter today, right, Well, I feel like I'm

12
00:00:45,948 --> 00:00:47,188
Speaker 2: seeing Peter from a different angle.

13
00:00:47,708 --> 00:00:51,748
Speaker 5: This is what we call the triangle offense. Next week stuff, Oh, Peter,

15
00:00:54,788 --> 00:00:58,748
Speaker 3: Kyle has gone remote today. Let's plug him in. Morning.

16
00:00:58,868 --> 00:01:01,908
Speaker 2: Kyle, to you, despite being stuck in a dark room,

17
00:01:02,148 --> 00:01:04,108
Speaker 2: we're a little bit worried about you. You are still

18
00:01:04,508 --> 00:01:07,268
Speaker 2: on the prowl yesterday in terms of free agency with

19
00:01:07,308 --> 00:01:09,428
Speaker 2: one of your favorite quarterbacks.

20
00:01:09,748 --> 00:01:11,268
Speaker 3: Please do tell about.

21
00:01:11,228 --> 00:01:13,908
Speaker 2: The involvement you had with the Kirk Cousins decision to

22
00:01:13,948 --> 00:01:14,588
Speaker 2: go to Atlanta.

23
00:01:15,268 --> 00:01:17,988
Speaker 5: Oh, the very, very modest involvement. You know. I heard

24
00:01:17,988 --> 00:01:20,388
Speaker 5: from someone with the Kirk Cousins team at twelve oh one.

25
00:01:20,468 --> 00:01:23,548
Speaker 6: They say, look, we're thinking about maybe making contact with

26
00:01:23,628 --> 00:01:26,348
Speaker 6: the Falcons. Would you like to maybe make a video

27
00:01:26,468 --> 00:01:28,748
Speaker 6: that would help in a very Kirk Cousins type of way,

28
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:30,788
Speaker 6: you know, announced that they're leaving the Vikings.

29
00:01:30,788 --> 00:01:31,988
Speaker 5: So I'm like, I need a couple hours.

30
00:01:32,028 --> 00:01:32,228
Speaker 4: Guys.

31
00:01:32,268 --> 00:01:33,948
Speaker 5: You just sprung this on me. God was some of

32
00:01:33,948 --> 00:01:35,348
Speaker 5: our Good Morning Football producers.

33
00:01:35,668 --> 00:01:38,828
Speaker 6: We created a video for Kirk Cousins leaving Minnesota with

34
00:01:38,868 --> 00:01:41,508
Speaker 6: the Star Wars crawl, and I think the Falcons have

35
00:01:41,588 --> 00:01:43,388
Speaker 6: their best quarterback in years, and I think we also

36
00:01:43,468 --> 00:01:45,628
Speaker 6: have the best Star Wars movie in years, So everybody wins.

37
00:01:45,668 --> 00:01:45,948
Speaker 4: Guys.

38
00:01:46,068 --> 00:01:49,708
Speaker 2: It was a frenzy and glad to see you, yes,

39
00:01:49,828 --> 00:01:52,868
Speaker 2: and I'm sure the Kirk Cousins seems appreciated you being

40
00:01:52,908 --> 00:01:55,548
Speaker 2: able to put that spin on It got out to Baka, Well,

41
00:01:55,628 --> 00:01:58,628
Speaker 2: you're right, nice Jason, You're only reference.

42
00:01:58,428 --> 00:02:01,028
Speaker 3: That's look at what you've done.

43
00:02:02,508 --> 00:02:05,388
Speaker 2: I M that was just one of the headlines yesterday. Kyle,

44
00:02:05,428 --> 00:02:06,788
Speaker 2: hang on, We're gonna talk to you a little bit.

45
00:02:07,788 --> 00:02:10,388
Speaker 2: Kyle was all over that yesterday. Ian Rappaport, of course,

46
00:02:10,428 --> 00:02:13,108
Speaker 2: has been on it in terms of some of the

47
00:02:13,108 --> 00:02:17,428
Speaker 2: big names changing teams yesterday. Details pleased that we need

48
00:02:17,428 --> 00:02:20,228
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on whether it be quarterbacks and beyond.

49
00:02:21,828 --> 00:02:24,268
Speaker 7: Well, we'll start with Kirk Cousins, which Kyle so nicely

50
00:02:24,308 --> 00:02:27,828
Speaker 7: broke via video message yesterday. He does go to the

51
00:02:27,908 --> 00:02:30,508
Speaker 7: Atlanta Falcons, gets a four year, one hundred and eighty

52
00:02:30,588 --> 00:02:33,028
Speaker 7: million dollar deal. Obviously, Kirk Cousins, the last couple of

53
00:02:33,068 --> 00:02:35,468
Speaker 7: years have been all about the guaranteed money. Gets one

54
00:02:35,548 --> 00:02:39,748
Speaker 7: hundred million dollars guaranteed fifty million dollars in as signing bonus.

55
00:02:39,908 --> 00:02:41,548
Speaker 5: This Falcons team, in year.

56
00:02:41,468 --> 00:02:46,148
Speaker 7: Four of the Terry Fonteneau regime, is basically set up

57
00:02:46,228 --> 00:02:48,908
Speaker 7: to surround the entire It's got a lot of talent.

58
00:02:49,068 --> 00:02:53,188
Speaker 7: It's pretty deep, it's got depth. They just needed a quarterback,

59
00:02:53,228 --> 00:02:54,988
Speaker 7: and they have needed a quarterback for a couple of years.

60
00:02:54,988 --> 00:02:58,268
Speaker 7: Desmond Ritter was not it, or was not it yet.

61
00:02:58,748 --> 00:03:02,068
Speaker 7: Kirk Cousins is now that quarterback. They've quietly worked behind

62
00:03:02,068 --> 00:03:05,188
Speaker 7: the scenes to try to make that happen. Vikings really

63
00:03:05,188 --> 00:03:06,588
Speaker 7: strong offer to Kirk Cousins.

64
00:03:06,948 --> 00:03:09,428
Speaker 5: It was just not to be. Cousins.

65
00:03:09,508 --> 00:03:11,068
Speaker 8: Now Land and lantaen.

66
00:03:10,828 --> 00:03:14,308
Speaker 7: Becomes one of the more intriguing stories of next season,

67
00:03:14,628 --> 00:03:17,788
Speaker 7: which of course left the Minnesota Vikings without a quarterback.

68
00:03:17,828 --> 00:03:21,028
Speaker 7: So about one am last night, a little bit after

69
00:03:21,188 --> 00:03:24,548
Speaker 7: they agreed to terms with Sam Donald to be their

70
00:03:24,668 --> 00:03:27,508
Speaker 7: new quarterback. And I would say this has been long

71
00:03:27,588 --> 00:03:31,308
Speaker 7: rumored to be a potential match here the Minnesota Vikings

72
00:03:31,308 --> 00:03:34,108
Speaker 7: in Sam Darnald. Not just because Josh Vacounts are quarterbacks coach,

73
00:03:34,188 --> 00:03:36,108
Speaker 7: Not just because two guys with great hair can now

74
00:03:36,148 --> 00:03:38,188
Speaker 7: sit next to each other in that room and just

75
00:03:38,188 --> 00:03:40,748
Speaker 7: play with their locks all day long. This has been

76
00:03:40,788 --> 00:03:43,308
Speaker 7: one where it's similar system to what he played with

77
00:03:43,468 --> 00:03:46,748
Speaker 7: in San Francisco. No, Kevin O'Connell has long been a fan.

78
00:03:46,828 --> 00:03:49,828
Speaker 7: The former top pick in the draft now gets another

79
00:03:49,948 --> 00:03:53,308
Speaker 7: chance to kickstart his career after years of backup in

80
00:03:53,348 --> 00:03:56,788
Speaker 7: San Francisco. And then one of the more intriguing heel

81
00:03:56,868 --> 00:04:01,668
Speaker 7: turns of free agency, Saquon Barkley goes from the New

82
00:04:01,708 --> 00:04:05,708
Speaker 7: York Giants to the Philadelphia Eagles, staying in the division,

83
00:04:05,748 --> 00:04:09,188
Speaker 7: playing fifty cent on his Instagram, changing uniforms, all sorts

84
00:04:09,228 --> 00:04:12,228
Speaker 7: of great things happening for Saquon Barkley. You know so

85
00:04:12,348 --> 00:04:13,948
Speaker 7: much talk over the last couple of years about the

86
00:04:13,988 --> 00:04:16,948
Speaker 7: depressed running back market. It is coming back, thanks to

87
00:04:17,028 --> 00:04:20,108
Speaker 7: Josh Jacobs and thanks to Saquon Barkley gets a three

88
00:04:20,188 --> 00:04:23,508
Speaker 7: year deal worth more than twelve million dollars per year.

89
00:04:23,548 --> 00:04:26,108
Speaker 7: Thirty seven point seventy five million dollars at its base

90
00:04:26,548 --> 00:04:29,668
Speaker 7: can be worth about ten million or so more than that.

91
00:04:30,028 --> 00:04:33,188
Speaker 7: He now changes sides in this rivalry and gives the

92
00:04:33,188 --> 00:04:35,868
Speaker 7: Egos the highest paid running back they've had in quite

93
00:04:35,868 --> 00:04:36,268
Speaker 7: some time.

94
00:04:37,828 --> 00:04:38,308
Speaker 3: Grap sheet.

95
00:04:38,308 --> 00:04:40,508
Speaker 2: It's interesting, all three of those names from the twenty

96
00:04:40,548 --> 00:04:44,748
Speaker 2: eighteen NFL Draft we're a part of this free agency offseason.

97
00:04:44,788 --> 00:04:47,028
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield gets paid, take on, Barkley's on the move,

98
00:04:47,068 --> 00:04:49,988
Speaker 2: and then Sam Darnold finds yet another opportunity on a

99
00:04:49,988 --> 00:04:51,428
Speaker 2: one year deal with Minnesota.

100
00:04:51,548 --> 00:04:53,148
Speaker 3: So we'll see. We'll keep an eye on.

101
00:04:53,188 --> 00:04:55,428
Speaker 2: It's interesting when you group names together like that rap sheet.

102
00:04:55,468 --> 00:04:57,868
Speaker 2: Thank you, get back to us if anything changes. Speaking

103
00:04:57,908 --> 00:05:01,948
Speaker 2: of change, huge move that change landscape for quarterbacks, but

104
00:05:01,988 --> 00:05:04,308
Speaker 2: really not just in the NFC, for the position is

105
00:05:04,388 --> 00:05:07,428
Speaker 2: a hole in the market. When Kirk Cousins decided to

106
00:05:07,788 --> 00:05:10,428
Speaker 2: go to Atlanta, go to the Falcons and say pay

107
00:05:10,508 --> 00:05:13,148
Speaker 2: me my money, I will give you four years at

108
00:05:13,148 --> 00:05:14,508
Speaker 2: the quarterback position.

109
00:05:14,308 --> 00:05:15,548
Speaker 5: First Domino to drop right.

110
00:05:15,588 --> 00:05:17,428
Speaker 8: We were all saying that he's the bell of the ball,

111
00:05:17,588 --> 00:05:20,108
Speaker 8: and if he drags this on hours and now hours,

112
00:05:20,148 --> 00:05:22,148
Speaker 8: everyone just waits at the carousel says, well, where can

113
00:05:22,188 --> 00:05:24,948
Speaker 8: I get on my horse? Well, in this case, Cousins

114
00:05:25,028 --> 00:05:26,948
Speaker 8: jumps out of the gates in the first hour and

115
00:05:27,348 --> 00:05:30,588
Speaker 8: it's one hundred and fifty million dollars and one hundred

116
00:05:30,588 --> 00:05:34,788
Speaker 8: million dollars of it guarantee, one hundred million guaranteed for

117
00:05:34,908 --> 00:05:37,628
Speaker 8: a thirty six year old coming off in Achilles injury.

118
00:05:38,028 --> 00:05:40,588
Speaker 8: Kudos to you, Kirk Cousins.

119
00:05:40,748 --> 00:05:41,308
Speaker 5: Atlanta.

120
00:05:42,268 --> 00:05:44,708
Speaker 8: Look, I think Atlanta the last couple of years they've

121
00:05:44,708 --> 00:05:47,348
Speaker 8: been drafting players in the top ten on offense, whether

122
00:05:47,388 --> 00:05:50,748
Speaker 8: it be Drake London, Kyle Pitts or Bjon Robinson, and

123
00:05:50,828 --> 00:05:52,668
Speaker 8: have not been able to get to the playoffs. So

124
00:05:52,748 --> 00:05:54,988
Speaker 8: they fired their coach, Arthur Smith. They say, okay, it's

125
00:05:54,988 --> 00:05:57,788
Speaker 8: probably his fault, right, Well, yeah, I never had a quarterback.

126
00:05:58,588 --> 00:06:00,308
Speaker 8: So they say, we're going to actually skip to the

127
00:06:00,308 --> 00:06:03,548
Speaker 8: line and we're going to get the best available quarterback possible,

128
00:06:03,588 --> 00:06:06,628
Speaker 8: give him all the and say let's go. I said

129
00:06:06,628 --> 00:06:10,068
Speaker 8: this yesterday. I thought he's gonna get ninety to one

130
00:06:10,148 --> 00:06:13,068
Speaker 8: hundred guaranteed, and people falling off their chairs like he can't.

131
00:06:13,588 --> 00:06:16,548
Speaker 8: It's what it is. The salary cap has expanded in Atlanta.

132
00:06:16,708 --> 00:06:19,708
Speaker 8: You might think, well, why let there is pressure there.

133
00:06:19,828 --> 00:06:21,588
Speaker 8: This is a team that has all these guys, and

134
00:06:21,628 --> 00:06:24,228
Speaker 8: those rookie contracts are eventually going to be expiring.

135
00:06:24,268 --> 00:06:25,548
Speaker 5: The window is now.

136
00:06:25,868 --> 00:06:28,828
Speaker 8: Kirk immediately makes them contenders in the NFC South. He

137
00:06:28,908 --> 00:06:32,948
Speaker 8: immediately makes them better, and Arthur Blank isn't getting any younger.

138
00:06:33,188 --> 00:06:35,668
Speaker 8: Arthur Blank was there for the twenty eight to three

139
00:06:35,708 --> 00:06:38,588
Speaker 8: and that already now is nearly a decade ago, and

140
00:06:38,628 --> 00:06:41,188
Speaker 8: they haven't really had an opportunity to contend for a

141
00:06:41,228 --> 00:06:44,028
Speaker 8: title since does Kirk Cousins make them title contenders? He

142
00:06:44,068 --> 00:06:46,308
Speaker 8: won one playoff game with the Vikings in.

143
00:06:46,268 --> 00:06:47,068
Speaker 5: All his time there.

144
00:06:47,068 --> 00:06:49,548
Speaker 8: I don't know, but I know they got much better

145
00:06:49,548 --> 00:06:52,508
Speaker 8: at quarterback, and I know they put a giant deodoran

146
00:06:52,588 --> 00:06:54,508
Speaker 8: over the stink of that position that it's been in

147
00:06:54,508 --> 00:06:57,828
Speaker 8: the last several seasons in Atlanta. I'd say I like

148
00:06:57,908 --> 00:07:00,428
Speaker 8: the deal. I have to see how it all plays

149
00:07:00,428 --> 00:07:03,948
Speaker 8: out because that is such a big financial commitment. Last

150
00:07:04,028 --> 00:07:06,828
Speaker 8: year they in the Lamar sweepstakes. Last year they didn't

151
00:07:06,828 --> 00:07:08,628
Speaker 8: go for any of those rookie quarterbacks when they had

152
00:07:08,668 --> 00:07:12,188
Speaker 8: a high pick. They said We're good with Desmond, Ritter said,

153
00:07:12,268 --> 00:07:14,668
Speaker 8: Terry Fonto is a GM. This is they've already lost

154
00:07:14,748 --> 00:07:17,548
Speaker 8: one coach. This is now the second coach with Raheem Morris.

155
00:07:17,588 --> 00:07:19,468
Speaker 8: Now we move on and see. But I would say

156
00:07:19,508 --> 00:07:22,108
Speaker 8: that this one was an expectation that they were going

157
00:07:22,188 --> 00:07:24,428
Speaker 8: to go big. The number, though, I think even that

158
00:07:24,548 --> 00:07:27,268
Speaker 8: sticker value was so high that even people inside the

159
00:07:27,348 --> 00:07:27,788
Speaker 8: league were like.

160
00:07:27,788 --> 00:07:29,388
Speaker 4: Oh, well, why you got them?

161
00:07:29,428 --> 00:07:29,708
Speaker 5: All right?

162
00:07:29,748 --> 00:07:31,788
Speaker 8: We get you, know you And you would also understand

163
00:07:31,788 --> 00:07:34,268
Speaker 8: Cousins leaving. If Minnesota wasn't willing to commit to them

164
00:07:34,308 --> 00:07:36,668
Speaker 8: last offseason, why should I stick around if this team

165
00:07:36,668 --> 00:07:38,708
Speaker 8: has offered me that and all these diamonds at these

166
00:07:38,748 --> 00:07:39,588
Speaker 8: skiol position.

167
00:07:39,348 --> 00:07:42,348
Speaker 9: Players exactly, And we said that yesterday. They decided last

168
00:07:42,388 --> 00:07:45,428
Speaker 9: year in the offseason when they did Wedid Cousins contract,

169
00:07:45,428 --> 00:07:47,188
Speaker 9: that hey, this was going to be a scenario. And

170
00:07:47,228 --> 00:07:49,588
Speaker 9: I think for Kirk Cousins, you're going through this process,

171
00:07:49,628 --> 00:07:51,428
Speaker 9: you're saying to the Vikers, hey, don't talk me to death.

172
00:07:51,468 --> 00:07:53,948
Speaker 9: We had all time last year to figure this thing out.

173
00:07:53,988 --> 00:07:56,148
Speaker 9: You didn't do it. He's on the move and he's

174
00:07:56,148 --> 00:07:58,868
Speaker 9: going to Atlanta. And you said it for the Falcons,

175
00:07:58,908 --> 00:08:01,588
Speaker 9: you got the best available quarterback on the market for

176
00:08:01,628 --> 00:08:03,748
Speaker 9: a team that has surrounded it with weapons, and you

177
00:08:03,788 --> 00:08:06,908
Speaker 9: feel as though you're one quarterback away from truly competing,

178
00:08:06,988 --> 00:08:10,188
Speaker 9: especially in that division, because now Kirk Cousins walks in

179
00:08:10,228 --> 00:08:13,068
Speaker 9: and he's the best quarterback there in the NFC South

180
00:08:13,148 --> 00:08:15,388
Speaker 9: coming off an injury. Yes, I know that, but for

181
00:08:15,468 --> 00:08:17,268
Speaker 9: these guys, you got to think about it. You mentioned

182
00:08:17,308 --> 00:08:20,388
Speaker 9: the names Kyle Pitts and Drake London and b Jon Robinson.

183
00:08:20,508 --> 00:08:21,708
Speaker 5: They got to be ecstatic.

184
00:08:21,748 --> 00:08:24,188
Speaker 9: You get Kirk Cousins there, you're taking them on a tour.

185
00:08:24,268 --> 00:08:27,308
Speaker 9: You're taking them to the world of Coca Cola College Football.

186
00:08:26,908 --> 00:08:27,428
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame.

187
00:08:27,628 --> 00:08:30,548
Speaker 9: You're just thanking him for committing. You saw Kyle Pitts

188
00:08:30,588 --> 00:08:33,228
Speaker 9: talking about the jersey and all those things. Because you

189
00:08:33,308 --> 00:08:35,988
Speaker 9: get a quarterback that you're an offensive guy there, you

190
00:08:36,068 --> 00:08:39,628
Speaker 9: feel tremendous about your prospects of continuing your career and

191
00:08:39,708 --> 00:08:42,228
Speaker 9: becoming great. For Kyle Pitts, you get that first year

192
00:08:42,388 --> 00:08:44,308
Speaker 9: and you have Matt Ryan at your quarterback and you

193
00:08:44,348 --> 00:08:47,428
Speaker 9: absolutely go off. And since then it's been anemick for

194
00:08:47,508 --> 00:08:50,348
Speaker 9: him on offense. Fantasy owners showing up every week like

195
00:08:50,388 --> 00:08:53,348
Speaker 9: wearing the heck is Kyle Pittson. We heard from Raheem

196
00:08:53,388 --> 00:08:54,508
Speaker 9: Morris at the combine.

197
00:08:54,548 --> 00:08:57,108
Speaker 4: He said, Hey, if they have better quarterback play.

198
00:08:56,948 --> 00:08:59,588
Speaker 9: I'm probably not standing here in front of you addressing

199
00:08:59,628 --> 00:09:02,668
Speaker 9: you as the Atlanta Falcons head coach. He also talked

200
00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:06,348
Speaker 9: about getting a quarterback that fits the city of Atlanta.

201
00:09:06,388 --> 00:09:08,908
Speaker 9: So how does the city of Atlanta feel about Kirk

202
00:09:08,948 --> 00:09:12,188
Speaker 9: Cousins as their quarterback? Well, go to the resident Rappers

203
00:09:12,188 --> 00:09:14,468
Speaker 9: and find out what they think. Quavo put out a

204
00:09:14,468 --> 00:09:17,548
Speaker 9: tweet yesterday talking about Kirk Cousins, and you see it

205
00:09:17,628 --> 00:09:20,268
Speaker 9: right there. He's talking about, we got to get Kirk

206
00:09:20,348 --> 00:09:23,708
Speaker 9: the chains. These guys are all in Atlanta, and I

207
00:09:23,748 --> 00:09:26,628
Speaker 9: think Cousins is the perfect fit. Yes, there's an element

208
00:09:26,708 --> 00:09:29,348
Speaker 9: on the field, the play action, and Zach Robinson's the

209
00:09:29,388 --> 00:09:31,828
Speaker 9: offensive coordinator and all the ex'es and oles. But I

210
00:09:31,828 --> 00:09:34,148
Speaker 9: think beyond that, the guys on the team, the city

211
00:09:34,148 --> 00:09:36,388
Speaker 9: of Atlanta, Cole's and all of that, they're going to

212
00:09:36,508 --> 00:09:39,628
Speaker 9: embrace Kirk Cousins, welcome him in and let him wear

213
00:09:39,668 --> 00:09:42,148
Speaker 9: whatever the hell he wants and have a great time

214
00:09:42,268 --> 00:09:42,988
Speaker 9: in Atlanta.

215
00:09:43,028 --> 00:09:44,348
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see how it all.

216
00:09:44,228 --> 00:09:45,948
Speaker 2: Goes for him at this point with the chains and

217
00:09:45,948 --> 00:09:47,508
Speaker 2: stuff last year on the plane, it feels like this

218
00:09:47,548 --> 00:09:50,908
Speaker 2: has been mounting for that, like Kirk Frost, Vanilla Ice,

219
00:09:51,028 --> 00:09:53,228
Speaker 2: like whatever you want to call it. Sure, if you

220
00:09:53,268 --> 00:09:55,668
Speaker 2: want to make it fit in terms of Atlanta, Kirk

221
00:09:55,748 --> 00:09:58,948
Speaker 2: Scott family there in some capacity it works. I look

222
00:09:58,988 --> 00:10:00,708
Speaker 2: at the division as a whole, and we talked about

223
00:10:00,708 --> 00:10:02,868
Speaker 2: this yesterday with Baker Mayfield and what he got paid

224
00:10:02,908 --> 00:10:04,868
Speaker 2: in the commitment he got for the Tampa Bay Baners,

225
00:10:05,068 --> 00:10:07,428
Speaker 2: And rightfully so, I felt like the Buccaneers did this

226
00:10:07,548 --> 00:10:10,868
Speaker 2: with Baker because they felt like their division specifically was

227
00:10:10,988 --> 00:10:13,268
Speaker 2: ripe for the taking, and it has been for a

228
00:10:13,268 --> 00:10:16,268
Speaker 2: couple of seasons. Now the Falcons said, hold my beer,

229
00:10:16,388 --> 00:10:17,868
Speaker 2: We're going to go out and get Kirk Cousins and

230
00:10:17,868 --> 00:10:19,508
Speaker 2: we're going to make it even harder for you to

231
00:10:19,548 --> 00:10:22,068
Speaker 2: host a playoff game in January. This is a division

232
00:10:22,108 --> 00:10:24,508
Speaker 2: at last year, the Buccaneers in the Saints finished nine

233
00:10:24,548 --> 00:10:27,508
Speaker 2: to eight in the regular season. Any other division in

234
00:10:27,508 --> 00:10:30,068
Speaker 2: the NFL had two more wins than that in terms

235
00:10:30,108 --> 00:10:33,308
Speaker 2: of your division leader. So these two teams now are saying,

236
00:10:33,588 --> 00:10:35,948
Speaker 2: we understand to Peter's point, this is the window that

237
00:10:35,988 --> 00:10:38,508
Speaker 2: we can make a playoffs, host a playoff game and

238
00:10:38,548 --> 00:10:40,308
Speaker 2: make it a lot harder for an NFC team to

239
00:10:40,348 --> 00:10:42,828
Speaker 2: go through to the Super Bowl, because if you're able

240
00:10:42,868 --> 00:10:45,828
Speaker 2: to host, or retain or be the team that you

241
00:10:45,948 --> 00:10:48,308
Speaker 2: have to go through with a goolly good quarterback like that.

242
00:10:48,348 --> 00:10:51,428
Speaker 2: It's just the weird, awkward nature the Vikings fans struggle

243
00:10:51,468 --> 00:10:53,908
Speaker 2: with the last couple of years that he just hasn't

244
00:10:53,948 --> 00:10:56,708
Speaker 2: shown what he can do in January yet. Kyle, your

245
00:10:56,708 --> 00:10:59,068
Speaker 2: thoughts on Kirk Cousins. You picked him as your MVP

246
00:10:59,188 --> 00:11:01,348
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. You've been to a Cousin's

247
00:11:01,348 --> 00:11:03,948
Speaker 2: guy through and through. How does that continue in Atlanta?

248
00:11:04,588 --> 00:11:07,948
Speaker 6: Well, listen, I'm exhausted today because not only am I

249
00:11:08,068 --> 00:11:11,228
Speaker 6: emotionally hungover from the frenzy and ready for the second wave,

250
00:11:11,708 --> 00:11:14,548
Speaker 6: I've been up all night just looking at my phone

251
00:11:14,628 --> 00:11:16,508
Speaker 6: laughing at Kirk Cousins jokes and memes.

252
00:11:16,548 --> 00:11:17,388
Speaker 5: That's all I'm doing.

253
00:11:17,468 --> 00:11:19,268
Speaker 6: That's all I'm gonna do for the rest of my life.

254
00:11:19,908 --> 00:11:22,708
Speaker 6: I think Jason's on it. It is a great gift

255
00:11:22,748 --> 00:11:25,348
Speaker 6: of content to us that the quarterback who is thrust

256
00:11:25,388 --> 00:11:28,668
Speaker 6: into the middle of hip hop culture in Atlanta listens

257
00:11:28,708 --> 00:11:29,468
Speaker 6: to train.

258
00:11:29,628 --> 00:11:31,148
Speaker 5: Like this is really happening.

259
00:11:31,428 --> 00:11:34,308
Speaker 6: I want Cousins to be repelling down from the rafters

260
00:11:34,308 --> 00:11:36,028
Speaker 6: week one like Ludacris.

261
00:11:36,628 --> 00:11:40,708
Speaker 5: The guy's number one receiver is literally named Drake Jason.

262
00:11:40,748 --> 00:11:42,108
Speaker 5: You mentioned the Kyle Pittston.

263
00:11:42,468 --> 00:11:45,468
Speaker 6: My favorite meme was they put out the stringer bell

264
00:11:45,668 --> 00:11:48,588
Speaker 6: and it's you know, Kyle Pitts fantasy enthusiasts string bell

265
00:11:48,668 --> 00:11:50,988
Speaker 6: saying put the word out, we back up, and they

266
00:11:51,028 --> 00:11:53,388
Speaker 6: are back up because they got Kirk Cousins. Now in

267
00:11:53,388 --> 00:11:57,508
Speaker 6: the football field, Kirk Cousins shows up with three absolute

268
00:11:58,228 --> 00:12:01,348
Speaker 6: thoroughbreds all around whom you mentioned. The three guys all

269
00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:04,948
Speaker 6: on rookie contracts. They're in the right division, they're in

270
00:12:04,988 --> 00:12:08,068
Speaker 6: the right conference, they're indoors, and they have one of

271
00:12:08,108 --> 00:12:12,108
Speaker 6: the most statistically explosive quarterbacks of the last three years.

272
00:12:12,428 --> 00:12:14,428
Speaker 5: Guys, I'm gonna say it right now. What's the date?

273
00:12:14,628 --> 00:12:14,868
Speaker 5: It is?

274
00:12:14,908 --> 00:12:17,628
Speaker 6: March twelve. Falcons going to the playoffs. I'll blind do

275
00:12:17,708 --> 00:12:20,068
Speaker 6: it right now. Falcons going to the playoffs. I don't

276
00:12:20,068 --> 00:12:21,508
Speaker 6: know if it's Division champ, I don't know, if it's

277
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:23,348
Speaker 6: Wild Kid, I don't care. The Falcons are going to

278
00:12:23,388 --> 00:12:25,788
Speaker 6: the playoffs. The head coach canna handle the defense. And

279
00:12:25,828 --> 00:12:27,948
Speaker 6: by the way, here's the reaction that cracks me up.

280
00:12:28,068 --> 00:12:29,908
Speaker 6: I see all these Falcons fans. We got all these

281
00:12:29,908 --> 00:12:31,628
Speaker 6: great players, and we spend all our draft picks on

282
00:12:31,668 --> 00:12:32,908
Speaker 6: wide receivers and running backs.

283
00:12:32,988 --> 00:12:34,988
Speaker 5: We need a quarterback. We need a quarterback. Please give

284
00:12:35,068 --> 00:12:37,268
Speaker 5: us a quarterback. They got and the other quarterback you're.

285
00:12:37,108 --> 00:12:39,308
Speaker 6: Like touch so much money, Oh my god, one hundred

286
00:12:39,348 --> 00:12:42,228
Speaker 6: million guarantees for the guys. You got a quarterback. There

287
00:12:42,228 --> 00:12:44,348
Speaker 6: are only two types of teams in the league. You

288
00:12:44,428 --> 00:12:46,908
Speaker 6: have one or you don't have one. The Vikings out

289
00:12:46,948 --> 00:12:50,228
Speaker 6: don't have one. You do have one. We're starting the

290
00:12:50,268 --> 00:12:53,388
Speaker 6: show with the Falcons. When's the last time we started

291
00:12:53,428 --> 00:12:55,308
Speaker 6: Good Morning Football with the Falcons? Was it twenty eight

292
00:12:55,348 --> 00:12:55,828
Speaker 6: to three?

293
00:12:56,068 --> 00:12:58,908
Speaker 5: We got a guy, we got a show, We got

294
00:12:58,908 --> 00:12:59,508
Speaker 5: a chance.

295
00:12:59,828 --> 00:13:02,868
Speaker 6: Peter just called you to the quarterback deodorant and I

296
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:04,268
Speaker 6: get it because there's a sting.

297
00:13:04,748 --> 00:13:07,228
Speaker 5: There's a video from the atl and it's gone.

298
00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:10,188
Speaker 6: Peter out of curiosity, what deodorant do you think Kirk

299
00:13:10,188 --> 00:13:10,908
Speaker 6: Cousins would be?

300
00:13:10,948 --> 00:13:13,628
Speaker 5: I got him as an Irish spring guy. What's your

301
00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:14,468
Speaker 5: comp nice?

302
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:18,548
Speaker 8: I go with Armin Hammer like his old school, like

303
00:13:18,628 --> 00:13:21,228
Speaker 8: this is what our our grandparents generation used.

304
00:13:21,268 --> 00:13:25,588
Speaker 5: Just arm Armon Hammer deodorant and not a spray a rollo.

305
00:13:26,348 --> 00:13:27,948
Speaker 8: Old school, that's Cousins.

306
00:13:28,068 --> 00:13:31,428
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice, Kyle, be careful you do enough of this.

307
00:13:31,588 --> 00:13:34,268
Speaker 2: It's March whatever. This is my playoff team. We're going

308
00:13:34,308 --> 00:13:37,188
Speaker 2: to know all your picks by September. I thought, if you're.

309
00:13:36,748 --> 00:13:37,428
Speaker 3: Handing out.

310
00:13:39,428 --> 00:13:43,068
Speaker 5: For Kirk Cousins, I already got two. Next team, let's go.

311
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:43,828
Speaker 3: Dude done.

312
00:13:44,188 --> 00:13:45,988
Speaker 2: We'll see what your pick is in the NFC North

313
00:13:46,028 --> 00:13:48,108
Speaker 2: Kyle hak tight because the Vikings did pick.

314
00:13:48,068 --> 00:13:50,348
Speaker 3: Up a quarterback last night. Was it enough to make

315
00:13:50,388 --> 00:13:51,468
Speaker 3: a change Sam.

316
00:13:51,308 --> 00:13:54,828
Speaker 2: Darnold now on a one year deal to Minnesota. What

317
00:13:54,868 --> 00:13:57,708
Speaker 2: does this all mean, Jason in terms of the Vikings

318
00:13:57,748 --> 00:14:01,428
Speaker 2: make up their structured their future, but also with Justin Jefferson.

319
00:14:01,628 --> 00:14:03,508
Speaker 9: I love this switch because you look at it. For

320
00:14:03,628 --> 00:14:06,108
Speaker 9: Vikings fans, they see Kirk Cousins walk out the door

321
00:14:06,108 --> 00:14:08,908
Speaker 9: in the financial commitment, They're all like, probably you know what,

322
00:14:09,028 --> 00:14:11,188
Speaker 9: you can have it. We've seen the same story year

323
00:14:11,228 --> 00:14:14,068
Speaker 9: after year. Good luck where Kirk Cousins and now enter

324
00:14:14,188 --> 00:14:16,268
Speaker 9: Sam Donald and they're probably feeling like, you know what,

325
00:14:16,508 --> 00:14:17,188
Speaker 9: Sam Donald?

326
00:14:17,188 --> 00:14:19,068
Speaker 4: He was drafted extremely high. He has the talent.

327
00:14:19,148 --> 00:14:21,828
Speaker 9: He went to San Francisco, he learned under Kyle Shanahan

328
00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:24,108
Speaker 9: and Jets and Panthers fans are like, you know what,

329
00:14:24,628 --> 00:14:27,228
Speaker 9: you can have them. We've seen that story before and

330
00:14:27,348 --> 00:14:30,148
Speaker 9: we're good. I think the thing with Sam Donald is

331
00:14:30,588 --> 00:14:32,668
Speaker 9: you believe that you can get more out of them

332
00:14:32,668 --> 00:14:34,948
Speaker 9: of what we've seen in the past. But the fact

333
00:14:34,988 --> 00:14:37,588
Speaker 9: that the matter is you're watching Kirk Cousins, who Kyle

334
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:41,068
Speaker 9: just said it statistically has been incredible. He's been prolific

335
00:14:41,068 --> 00:14:42,268
Speaker 9: from an offensive standpoint with.

336
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:44,988
Speaker 4: The weapons around. We haven't seen that from Sam Donald.

337
00:14:44,988 --> 00:14:46,828
Speaker 9: So you're kind of going on a flyer here with

338
00:14:46,908 --> 00:14:49,348
Speaker 9: the belief that he can take off. I'm mentioned to

339
00:14:49,348 --> 00:14:51,628
Speaker 9: see what this means for Justin Jefferson. Obviously he's looking

340
00:14:51,628 --> 00:14:54,028
Speaker 9: for a new contract. Money talks, though within the league,

341
00:14:54,068 --> 00:14:55,548
Speaker 9: you offer him the right amount of money. No matter

342
00:14:55,588 --> 00:14:57,588
Speaker 9: who that quarterback is, I think he signs and he

343
00:14:57,588 --> 00:14:58,628
Speaker 9: stays in Minnesota.

344
00:14:58,748 --> 00:15:03,348
Speaker 8: Donald was such a trigger for so many people the

345
00:15:03,428 --> 00:15:05,588
Speaker 8: last few days. I kept coming on the show and saying, Hey,

346
00:15:05,628 --> 00:15:07,428
Speaker 8: don't sleep on Sam Donald. I would bring up that

347
00:15:07,468 --> 00:15:09,108
Speaker 8: free agent quarterback list. I'm like, he's gonna be a

348
00:15:09,228 --> 00:15:10,908
Speaker 8: he's gonna get signed and he's gonna get real money.

349
00:15:10,908 --> 00:15:12,908
Speaker 8: And people are like, we don't want Dinard, we don't

350
00:15:12,908 --> 00:15:15,068
Speaker 8: want Donald. But in the NFL it almost called the

351
00:15:15,108 --> 00:15:18,028
Speaker 8: Donald Hive. I think Sam Donald is respected a lot

352
00:15:18,108 --> 00:15:20,348
Speaker 8: more in the NFL than he is by fans. And

353
00:15:20,348 --> 00:15:23,228
Speaker 8: by the meeting, they look at that situation with New

354
00:15:23,308 --> 00:15:27,028
Speaker 8: York as a disaster and just you know, multiple offensive coordinators,

355
00:15:27,028 --> 00:15:29,748
Speaker 8: a team that fell apart, disaster, okay. And then he

356
00:15:29,828 --> 00:15:31,868
Speaker 8: went to Carolina, of course, and they look at that

357
00:15:31,908 --> 00:15:34,948
Speaker 8: situation as disaster. And he actually played well towards the

358
00:15:35,028 --> 00:15:37,868
Speaker 8: end of that season when he was with Steve Wilkes

359
00:15:37,908 --> 00:15:38,908
Speaker 8: and they almost made.

360
00:15:38,748 --> 00:15:39,708
Speaker 4: A run of the playoffs.

361
00:15:39,908 --> 00:15:41,788
Speaker 8: And then last year he just was with the Shanahan

362
00:15:41,868 --> 00:15:45,668
Speaker 8: system and was dialed in. He goes to Minnesota where

363
00:15:45,788 --> 00:15:49,468
Speaker 8: you know, obviously Kevin O'Connell is the head coach, but

364
00:15:49,548 --> 00:15:53,668
Speaker 8: he goes to Minnesota where Josh McCown is the quarterbacks coach.

365
00:15:54,428 --> 00:15:57,308
Speaker 8: The veteran in his quarterback room when he was with

366
00:15:57,348 --> 00:15:58,788
Speaker 8: the Jets was Josh McCown.

367
00:15:58,908 --> 00:15:59,868
Speaker 4: He was his backup.

368
00:16:00,068 --> 00:16:02,628
Speaker 8: Two of them of a very good relationship. I will

369
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:04,748
Speaker 8: tell you this. I'm not gonna enlist the teams tweeted

370
00:16:04,748 --> 00:16:08,188
Speaker 8: it last night before he signed. There were three teams

371
00:16:08,428 --> 00:16:12,188
Speaker 8: in the conversation for Sam Donald last night, three different teams.

372
00:16:12,508 --> 00:16:16,268
Speaker 8: He chooses Minnesota. So don't feel like this is some like, ah,

373
00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:19,108
Speaker 8: we settled for Sam Donald, Like good for him, one year,

374
00:16:19,268 --> 00:16:21,588
Speaker 8: ten million dollars, and you still might draft a rookie

375
00:16:21,588 --> 00:16:23,948
Speaker 8: in the first round. I think the Vikings actually is

376
00:16:24,028 --> 00:16:26,228
Speaker 8: the soft landing off of the Cousins news, which could

377
00:16:26,268 --> 00:16:26,948
Speaker 8: have been devastating.

378
00:16:26,988 --> 00:16:28,708
Speaker 2: I was so thrilled to hear Josh McCown and get

379
00:16:28,788 --> 00:16:30,268
Speaker 2: hired by the Vikings in this capacity.

380
00:16:30,348 --> 00:16:32,548
Speaker 3: It seemed to work last year with Bryce Young.

381
00:16:32,588 --> 00:16:35,548
Speaker 2: Obviously not for like the triangle between the Panthers and

382
00:16:36,548 --> 00:16:39,068
Speaker 2: Josh and Bryce, but like it just seemed to that

383
00:16:39,148 --> 00:16:42,748
Speaker 2: relationship of Josh and Young quarterback is a really good one.

384
00:16:43,188 --> 00:16:44,388
Speaker 3: Hear me out on this parallel.

385
00:16:44,428 --> 00:16:47,508
Speaker 2: So last year, two off seasons ago, the Colts signed

386
00:16:47,508 --> 00:16:49,668
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew to a one year deal and they draft

387
00:16:49,748 --> 00:16:52,508
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson, and we like watched this unfold and Anthony

388
00:16:52,588 --> 00:16:55,068
Speaker 2: Richardson gets drafted and we just weren't sure, are the

389
00:16:55,148 --> 00:16:57,268
Speaker 2: Vikings taking the same approach here in terms of they

390
00:16:57,268 --> 00:17:00,508
Speaker 2: have eleventh overall pick, do they still go quarterback? You

391
00:17:00,548 --> 00:17:02,588
Speaker 2: have Sam Donald on a one year deal, but you're

392
00:17:02,628 --> 00:17:05,868
Speaker 2: providing that cushion of your quarterback and if it fares well,

393
00:17:05,908 --> 00:17:08,148
Speaker 2: if he gets hurt. The Colts seemed to do great

394
00:17:08,268 --> 00:17:11,148
Speaker 2: last year with the situation they were handed. Gardner Minshew

395
00:17:11,148 --> 00:17:15,068
Speaker 2: obviously unavailable, goes to Vegas. But I like the plan

396
00:17:15,148 --> 00:17:16,868
Speaker 2: that was put in place now with the Vikings. If

397
00:17:16,868 --> 00:17:18,548
Speaker 2: the Vikings did nothing overnight, I think I'd be a

398
00:17:18,588 --> 00:17:22,268
Speaker 2: little bit more stressed. But the selection by Sam Donald

399
00:17:22,308 --> 00:17:24,468
Speaker 2: to go to Minnesota works. And I think the fact

400
00:17:24,508 --> 00:17:26,388
Speaker 2: that they still hold that eleventh and the number of

401
00:17:26,468 --> 00:17:29,028
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and quality quarterbacks in this draft I think will

402
00:17:29,068 --> 00:17:30,708
Speaker 2: farewell for the Vikings as well.

403
00:17:30,788 --> 00:17:33,348
Speaker 3: Kyle Vikings thoughts go Yeah, listen.

404
00:17:33,188 --> 00:17:37,228
Speaker 6: There's a huge divide between the football heads and the

405
00:17:37,348 --> 00:17:41,828
Speaker 6: fans on Sam Donald. I'm aware of the Sam Donald hive.

406
00:17:41,988 --> 00:17:44,108
Speaker 6: I just I don't know if there's more than seven

407
00:17:44,148 --> 00:17:46,908
Speaker 6: people in it. And that's fine. Sam Donald has this

408
00:17:46,948 --> 00:17:49,228
Speaker 6: thing where if it was in the corporate world, like

409
00:17:49,308 --> 00:17:52,468
Speaker 6: he interviews very well, he's very well respected, he shows

410
00:17:52,548 --> 00:17:54,668
Speaker 6: up with a suit, he says the right things. He's

411
00:17:54,668 --> 00:17:56,548
Speaker 6: got a great answer to where you see yourself in

412
00:17:56,588 --> 00:17:59,428
Speaker 6: five years, and that's excellent. But like guys. We've seen

413
00:17:59,508 --> 00:18:02,908
Speaker 6: years of Sam Donald. He doesn't usually win, so that

414
00:18:03,028 --> 00:18:05,868
Speaker 6: does kind of matter. You go out and you don't win.

415
00:18:06,028 --> 00:18:07,588
Speaker 6: I like him as much as the next guy as

416
00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:11,188
Speaker 6: a guy. He shuts up. He's talented, he's a professional.

417
00:18:11,668 --> 00:18:15,108
Speaker 6: But let's not like sugarcoat this thing. The Vikings fans

418
00:18:15,188 --> 00:18:17,508
Speaker 6: yesterday woke up and they had Kirk Cousins going to Jepson.

419
00:18:17,508 --> 00:18:19,108
Speaker 6: This morning, they have a guy in a one year

420
00:18:19,188 --> 00:18:23,388
Speaker 6: deal who we're hoping, honestly hoping that maybe he starts

421
00:18:23,428 --> 00:18:25,708
Speaker 6: a few games and then tosses the keys to JJ McCarthy.

422
00:18:25,788 --> 00:18:28,748
Speaker 6: Are we thinking anything else? Is there any chance they

423
00:18:28,788 --> 00:18:31,028
Speaker 6: don't draft someone. They're like, yeah, we're gonna go with

424
00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:33,308
Speaker 6: the Donald thing. We're gonna be his twenty seventhem in

425
00:18:33,308 --> 00:18:35,308
Speaker 6: the last three years. That feels like, I don't want

426
00:18:35,308 --> 00:18:38,068
Speaker 6: to sugarcoat this. It's a strange time for Minnesota. Vikings

427
00:18:38,068 --> 00:18:40,588
Speaker 6: fans are in an identity crisis in which the Packers

428
00:18:40,628 --> 00:18:42,628
Speaker 6: have their deal with the Devil and Jordan Love looks great.

429
00:18:42,628 --> 00:18:44,668
Speaker 5: The Lions are taking over. Who the hell knows what

430
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:45,668
Speaker 5: the Bears are gonna.

431
00:18:45,428 --> 00:18:47,388
Speaker 6: Do, but they're probably gonna have the most talented quarterback

432
00:18:47,428 --> 00:18:49,548
Speaker 6: in the draft and you got Sam Donald.

433
00:18:49,548 --> 00:18:50,148
Speaker 5: All right, great.

434
00:18:50,268 --> 00:18:51,708
Speaker 6: I don't want to kick Sam Donald on the groin

435
00:18:51,748 --> 00:18:54,788
Speaker 6: fifty times here, guys, but we don't bs as a show.

436
00:18:54,828 --> 00:18:55,868
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say. Yeah.

437
00:18:56,148 --> 00:18:58,148
Speaker 6: I think the Vikings nailed it on this. It's a

438
00:18:58,148 --> 00:19:00,668
Speaker 6: tough time to be a Vikings fan. Very confusing. Tell

439
00:19:00,708 --> 00:19:01,228
Speaker 6: me otherwise.

440
00:19:07,468 --> 00:19:08,308
Speaker 3: There's a lot to.

441
00:19:08,308 --> 00:19:11,108
Speaker 2: Unpack in terms of Saquon Barkley heading down the Turnpike

442
00:19:11,188 --> 00:19:13,988
Speaker 2: to play for the Eagles, both on and off the field,

443
00:19:14,108 --> 00:19:16,908
Speaker 2: rap sheet, Thank you so much, appreciate your dedication. So

444
00:19:17,028 --> 00:19:21,188
Speaker 2: Philly adds their superstar to their backfield. Saquon Barkley heading

445
00:19:21,228 --> 00:19:22,748
Speaker 2: to play for the Eagles when the high school in

446
00:19:22,788 --> 00:19:25,308
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania goes to Penn State playing for a division rival.

447
00:19:25,348 --> 00:19:26,188
Speaker 3: Now, Peter, your.

448
00:19:26,028 --> 00:19:28,508
Speaker 8: Thoughts, Yeah, I think it's a great day for Barkley.

449
00:19:28,508 --> 00:19:29,068
Speaker 4: What if saga?

450
00:19:29,108 --> 00:19:31,588
Speaker 8: This has been for him over the past twenty four months,

451
00:19:31,628 --> 00:19:34,028
Speaker 8: waiting to finally get paid what he feels he deserves.

452
00:19:34,028 --> 00:19:36,108
Speaker 8: And I think the number's right. You look at this,

453
00:19:36,268 --> 00:19:39,228
Speaker 8: it's it's north of ten. It's okay, you got three

454
00:19:39,308 --> 00:19:41,428
Speaker 8: years and go and do it. And if you're a

455
00:19:41,468 --> 00:19:43,308
Speaker 8: Giants fan or you're an Eagles fan, You're like, oh,

456
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:44,508
Speaker 8: this is spicy.

457
00:19:44,148 --> 00:19:45,668
Speaker 5: Like, I think there is something to this.

458
00:19:45,828 --> 00:19:48,868
Speaker 8: Also, you want to, you know, just kind of dangle

459
00:19:48,948 --> 00:19:52,148
Speaker 8: me for twelve months on the franchise tag. You want

460
00:19:52,148 --> 00:19:54,508
Speaker 8: to also mess with my money last year when you

461
00:19:54,548 --> 00:19:58,068
Speaker 8: offered me in the Bible didn't like Saquon. He might

462
00:19:58,108 --> 00:20:00,228
Speaker 8: not say it was because it Maybe it was Philly

463
00:20:00,228 --> 00:20:02,588
Speaker 8: offered the most. But like you saw yesterday, a lot

464
00:20:02,588 --> 00:20:05,828
Speaker 8: of different teams were signing running backs and Saquon chose

465
00:20:05,868 --> 00:20:09,188
Speaker 8: to sign with Philadelphia. I think this is a targeted attack,

466
00:20:09,228 --> 00:20:10,868
Speaker 8: and I respect it. He's a guy who's got a

467
00:20:10,908 --> 00:20:12,828
Speaker 8: huge chip on his shoulder. I think he handled himself

468
00:20:13,348 --> 00:20:16,108
Speaker 8: the right way. He did this the right way throughout

469
00:20:16,468 --> 00:20:19,628
Speaker 8: where at any point he could have blasted the franchise publicly,

470
00:20:19,668 --> 00:20:23,148
Speaker 8: he said he's he's doing videos with Frank the Tank

471
00:20:23,228 --> 00:20:25,628
Speaker 8: from Barstool walking around New York City a couple of

472
00:20:25,628 --> 00:20:27,308
Speaker 8: weeks ago, talking about how much he loves being a

473
00:20:27,348 --> 00:20:31,388
Speaker 8: New Yorker in New Jersey. Like Saquon, Giants fans will

474
00:20:31,388 --> 00:20:32,788
Speaker 8: get over the whole thing with the I don't even

475
00:20:32,828 --> 00:20:34,668
Speaker 8: know if any Giant fan is actually even upset about this.

476
00:20:34,708 --> 00:20:35,628
Speaker 5: That can be performative.

477
00:20:35,628 --> 00:20:37,668
Speaker 8: No one really is like too, how could he do

478
00:20:37,668 --> 00:20:40,948
Speaker 8: the affiliate you understand it? Giants wind Pam Eagles did

479
00:20:41,068 --> 00:20:42,588
Speaker 8: and I was going to look to crush the Giants

480
00:20:42,588 --> 00:20:44,148
Speaker 8: every single time he plays him.

481
00:20:44,388 --> 00:20:44,988
Speaker 5: Good for him?

482
00:20:44,988 --> 00:20:45,308
Speaker 4: Why not?

483
00:20:45,428 --> 00:20:45,588
Speaker 5: You know?

484
00:20:45,708 --> 00:20:48,388
Speaker 9: Stayed writing a division's funny In one of our group chots.

485
00:20:48,428 --> 00:20:49,908
Speaker 9: One of our boys, Jerry hit us up and he

486
00:20:49,988 --> 00:20:53,308
Speaker 9: was just like, why do players always goal to rival teams?

487
00:20:53,348 --> 00:20:55,348
Speaker 9: And it was just like it drives me crazy? And

488
00:20:55,388 --> 00:20:58,468
Speaker 9: I said to him, business is business. If I'm delivering

489
00:20:58,508 --> 00:21:00,988
Speaker 9: packages and I'm working for UPS and FedEx comes with

490
00:21:01,028 --> 00:21:02,828
Speaker 9: the bag and they say, hey, we want you. Hell,

491
00:21:02,868 --> 00:21:04,788
Speaker 9: I'm giving out peace on the UPO. So I'm going

492
00:21:04,828 --> 00:21:06,468
Speaker 9: to federes. If DHL calls it.

493
00:21:06,428 --> 00:21:07,908
Speaker 4: Next year and they say they want me and they're

494
00:21:07,948 --> 00:21:08,908
Speaker 4: gonna pay me more.

495
00:21:09,028 --> 00:21:11,428
Speaker 9: I am gone that as part of the business.

496
00:21:11,428 --> 00:21:13,908
Speaker 8: Hey, you remember when the Verizon guy left for Sprint.

497
00:21:14,308 --> 00:21:17,788
Speaker 8: I was like, wow, like the Easter Bunny or something like.

498
00:21:17,828 --> 00:21:18,668
Speaker 5: It was crazy.

499
00:21:18,788 --> 00:21:21,068
Speaker 3: I can't just have to flex. It was like, you

500
00:21:21,148 --> 00:21:22,788
Speaker 3: can go on.

501
00:21:22,868 --> 00:21:27,308
Speaker 9: Sorry, if they get rid of the dam, don't bring.

502
00:21:26,668 --> 00:21:27,468
Speaker 4: It is what it is.

503
00:21:27,548 --> 00:21:29,508
Speaker 9: And I look at sat Quan and you look at

504
00:21:29,548 --> 00:21:31,268
Speaker 9: just this Eagles offense what they were able to do

505
00:21:31,348 --> 00:21:33,948
Speaker 9: with whether it was Miles Sanders, whether it's DeAndre Swift.

506
00:21:34,068 --> 00:21:36,388
Speaker 9: Now you're getting a guy like Saquon Barkley to plug

507
00:21:36,468 --> 00:21:39,028
Speaker 9: next to Jalen Hurts in that backfield with AJ Brown

508
00:21:39,108 --> 00:21:41,668
Speaker 9: Deavonte Smith on the outside. I think this is just

509
00:21:41,708 --> 00:21:44,388
Speaker 9: to live forruit the Philadelphia Eagles and their offense of

510
00:21:44,388 --> 00:21:47,628
Speaker 9: what Saquon Barkley is going to be able to do there.

511
00:21:47,788 --> 00:21:49,788
Speaker 9: And it's also a cool story, Jamie, Like you mentioned,

512
00:21:49,828 --> 00:21:52,148
Speaker 9: this is a hometown kid who's going to play for

513
00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:54,148
Speaker 9: the Eagles. And if you don't think a player in

514
00:21:54,148 --> 00:21:56,428
Speaker 9: the locker room like a Saquon Barkley will said time

515
00:21:56,468 --> 00:21:59,108
Speaker 9: after time, I want to be a New York Giant.

516
00:21:59,268 --> 00:22:01,868
Speaker 4: Now I know value is opinion based.

517
00:22:01,868 --> 00:22:04,428
Speaker 9: The Giants sounded like they wanted sa Kuon, but the

518
00:22:04,508 --> 00:22:05,748
Speaker 9: values didn't match up.

519
00:22:06,028 --> 00:22:08,068
Speaker 4: So for Sae Kwon, why hell wouldn't.

520
00:22:07,788 --> 00:22:09,628
Speaker 9: I want to go in the same division, get a

521
00:22:09,708 --> 00:22:11,748
Speaker 9: chance to play against the team that didn't want to

522
00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:14,428
Speaker 9: give me a long term deal twice a year.

523
00:22:14,548 --> 00:22:15,348
Speaker 4: Those are my guys.

524
00:22:15,348 --> 00:22:17,068
Speaker 9: But when I go out there on the field, I'm

525
00:22:17,108 --> 00:22:19,108
Speaker 9: going to want to embarrass him. I think It's going

526
00:22:19,148 --> 00:22:21,028
Speaker 9: to be so much fun seeing him go and playing

527
00:22:21,028 --> 00:22:23,348
Speaker 9: against those guys. There's going to be trash tall. These

528
00:22:23,348 --> 00:22:25,348
Speaker 9: two teams don't like each other, but hey, this is

529
00:22:25,348 --> 00:22:26,548
Speaker 9: what this thing is all about, and this is what

530
00:22:26,588 --> 00:22:28,388
Speaker 9: the business allows in the NFL.

531
00:22:28,748 --> 00:22:31,388
Speaker 2: It could turn into one of the cooler stories of

532
00:22:31,428 --> 00:22:34,428
Speaker 2: someone's career if this pans out. Well, that's a great image.

533
00:22:34,468 --> 00:22:36,308
Speaker 2: You know, Kyle likes to do this where he looks

534
00:22:36,348 --> 00:22:38,908
Speaker 2: and he really ingests what we have back here. I

535
00:22:38,988 --> 00:22:41,428
Speaker 2: think that Jersey fits. I think it works. I think

536
00:22:41,628 --> 00:22:46,108
Speaker 2: being a Whitehall Township high school property, a Penn State guy,

537
00:22:46,348 --> 00:22:47,268
Speaker 2: Saquon has been.

538
00:22:47,148 --> 00:22:49,628
Speaker 3: Nothing but a professional for the New York Giants. He's

539
00:22:49,628 --> 00:22:50,388
Speaker 3: a class act.

540
00:22:50,428 --> 00:22:52,748
Speaker 2: He works through his injuries, he comes back on the field,

541
00:22:52,828 --> 00:22:56,388
Speaker 2: He's a great teammate. I'm happy for the Eagles and Franklin'

542
00:22:56,428 --> 00:22:58,508
Speaker 2: even happier for Saquon Barkley. And you just hope that

543
00:22:58,588 --> 00:23:01,388
Speaker 2: this next chapter is worth every single dollar that they

544
00:23:01,388 --> 00:23:05,988
Speaker 2: pay him. Kyle, your thoughts on going to a division

545
00:23:06,148 --> 00:23:07,548
Speaker 2: rival at your favorite.

546
00:23:07,228 --> 00:23:11,228
Speaker 6: Position, Well, listen, there's this thing got some juice in

547
00:23:11,308 --> 00:23:14,188
Speaker 6: New York because Tiki Barbera went on the radio and

548
00:23:14,228 --> 00:23:15,948
Speaker 6: started screaming, how you're dead to me?

549
00:23:16,148 --> 00:23:17,468
Speaker 5: You're dead to me, You're dead to me?

550
00:23:17,748 --> 00:23:19,948
Speaker 6: And I love the Tiki did that, and I love

551
00:23:19,988 --> 00:23:23,148
Speaker 6: the Tiki did it on the radio, not a podcast,

552
00:23:23,268 --> 00:23:25,948
Speaker 6: not walking down the street with a selfie video, good

553
00:23:25,948 --> 00:23:27,508
Speaker 6: old fashioned New York radio.

554
00:23:27,548 --> 00:23:29,628
Speaker 5: You're going to Philadelphia. You're dead to me? Now this

555
00:23:29,708 --> 00:23:31,788
Speaker 5: Tiky really mean that is you're making radio. It's probably

556
00:23:31,828 --> 00:23:33,428
Speaker 5: making radio, and nobody.

557
00:23:33,188 --> 00:23:35,588
Speaker 6: Really feels that way, right, I do have to I

558
00:23:35,628 --> 00:23:36,748
Speaker 6: have to address something here.

559
00:23:38,548 --> 00:23:39,188
Speaker 5: He'll turn.

560
00:23:39,988 --> 00:23:42,188
Speaker 6: I think we need to stop that. I know it's

561
00:23:42,188 --> 00:23:43,908
Speaker 6: been said a couple times this morning. It's a fun

562
00:23:43,948 --> 00:23:46,708
Speaker 6: phrase to use, it really is. I saw Sean O'Hara

563
00:23:46,868 --> 00:23:49,508
Speaker 6: went on Twitter Super Bowl winning Giant and said this

564
00:23:49,668 --> 00:23:51,508
Speaker 6: the saque did a he'll turn, guys.

565
00:23:51,468 --> 00:23:54,788
Speaker 5: Is not a heel turn. Definitively it is not.

566
00:23:55,468 --> 00:23:58,068
Speaker 6: This is not Saquon it Bash at the Beach nineteen

567
00:23:58,148 --> 00:24:01,388
Speaker 6: ninety six being the all time face in the history

568
00:24:01,628 --> 00:24:04,668
Speaker 6: turning into Hollywood Hogan. All right, If this this was

569
00:24:04,708 --> 00:24:08,228
Speaker 6: a heel turn in the truest sense, Saquon would have

570
00:24:08,228 --> 00:24:11,548
Speaker 6: held a press conference yesterday with the Giants and he

571
00:24:11,588 --> 00:24:14,428
Speaker 6: would have stood up there and as he's announcing his

572
00:24:14,548 --> 00:24:17,268
Speaker 6: future to become a New York giant for life. He'd

573
00:24:17,308 --> 00:24:20,108
Speaker 6: be sitting next to Joe Shane and Brian Dable and

574
00:24:20,188 --> 00:24:23,268
Speaker 6: he would jump kick them in the face, flip the

575
00:24:23,348 --> 00:24:25,708
Speaker 6: table over it, rip off his Giants jersey to sow

576
00:24:25,748 --> 00:24:26,788
Speaker 6: An Eagles jersey.

577
00:24:27,228 --> 00:24:29,788
Speaker 5: That's not what this is. He wanted to be a

578
00:24:29,828 --> 00:24:32,508
Speaker 5: giant for life. He's hung around for years.

579
00:24:33,068 --> 00:24:35,628
Speaker 6: This is not Marty Janetti trying to escape through the

580
00:24:35,668 --> 00:24:38,708
Speaker 6: glass at the barber shop. He stood there, said nothing

581
00:24:38,708 --> 00:24:41,788
Speaker 6: and tried to produce through injury and terrible quarterbacks that

582
00:24:41,788 --> 00:24:44,348
Speaker 6: they drafted, and terrible teams and terrible coaches they put

583
00:24:44,428 --> 00:24:46,348
Speaker 6: him with. This is the opposite of a heel turn.

584
00:24:46,668 --> 00:24:49,588
Speaker 6: I'm sorry you went to Philadelphia, guys. He's from Pennsylvania

585
00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:51,548
Speaker 6: and they offered the most money. Who gives a damn,

586
00:24:51,628 --> 00:24:54,588
Speaker 6: you know. Durell Reeves went to the Patriots, DeShawn Jackson

587
00:24:54,628 --> 00:24:55,388
Speaker 6: went to Washington.

588
00:24:55,548 --> 00:24:57,108
Speaker 5: Richard Sherman went to the Niners.

589
00:24:57,348 --> 00:25:02,188
Speaker 6: If anybody earnestly is actually feeling that Saquon.

590
00:25:01,788 --> 00:25:03,588
Speaker 5: Did them dirty, you're out of your mind.

591
00:25:03,708 --> 00:25:06,108
Speaker 6: I don't know if there is anybody, but if there is,

592
00:25:06,148 --> 00:25:08,588
Speaker 6: this is not a heel turn. I feel the same way.

593
00:25:08,708 --> 00:25:10,868
Speaker 6: I bought the term revenge game use all the time

594
00:25:10,988 --> 00:25:13,268
Speaker 6: most of the time. Is not revenge involved. It's just business.

595
00:25:13,548 --> 00:25:16,348
Speaker 6: This is not a personal thing, is not a vindictive thing.

596
00:25:16,468 --> 00:25:18,548
Speaker 6: It's not a spiteful thing. This is not a heel

597
00:25:18,588 --> 00:25:21,028
Speaker 6: turn thing whatsoever. It's a new team for a guy

598
00:25:21,028 --> 00:25:23,108
Speaker 6: who deserved a lot of money and somebody paid him it.

599
00:25:23,148 --> 00:25:26,108
Speaker 5: That's it got it good well.

600
00:25:26,148 --> 00:25:29,268
Speaker 2: Unfortunately for the Giants, Sego Barley, Barkley could be giving

601
00:25:29,308 --> 00:25:31,548
Speaker 2: them the business twice a year for the next couple

602
00:25:31,588 --> 00:25:34,748
Speaker 2: of years. This move, as Kyle made mention to, did

603
00:25:34,788 --> 00:25:37,668
Speaker 2: not go over well with some Giants fans and also

604
00:25:38,068 --> 00:25:40,948
Speaker 2: some Giants legends are former running running back Tikee Barber,

605
00:25:41,068 --> 00:25:42,948
Speaker 2: who we hear on the airwaves in New York all

606
00:25:42,988 --> 00:25:46,308
Speaker 2: the time, went on the radio immediately reacted to the

607
00:25:46,348 --> 00:25:48,868
Speaker 2: news of sakuon to Philly, and he gave us an

608
00:25:48,908 --> 00:25:51,548
Speaker 2: infamous phrase in which Barkley responded to, but first take

609
00:25:51,548 --> 00:25:51,948
Speaker 2: a listen.

610
00:25:52,548 --> 00:25:55,508
Speaker 8: And Shaikwa has already taken to Twitter himself to say

611
00:25:55,508 --> 00:25:56,908
Speaker 8: thank you to everyone who has shown me love and

612
00:25:56,908 --> 00:25:58,188
Speaker 8: support over the past six years.

613
00:25:58,268 --> 00:26:02,788
Speaker 5: Forever grateful, excited for the next chapter. Blue Heart emoji piece. Okay,

614
00:26:02,908 --> 00:26:05,228
Speaker 5: blue heart emoji I'm looking at he said to us.

615
00:26:05,268 --> 00:26:09,388
Speaker 5: Now he won't say they're dead to us. Good luck,

616
00:26:09,388 --> 00:26:09,948
Speaker 5: you're dead to me.

617
00:26:12,828 --> 00:26:13,988
Speaker 3: He said it with a smile.

618
00:26:14,268 --> 00:26:18,028
Speaker 2: Tiki did but take one, responded on X loll yup.

619
00:26:18,348 --> 00:26:20,508
Speaker 3: You're the prime example of loyalty to a team.

620
00:26:20,588 --> 00:26:24,068
Speaker 2: I got the deal I wanted, secured more guaranteed money GM,

621
00:26:24,148 --> 00:26:26,028
Speaker 2: which wasn't given to me before.

622
00:26:26,588 --> 00:26:28,588
Speaker 3: So fans are gonna hate me for that, so be it.

623
00:26:29,188 --> 00:26:31,748
Speaker 2: But I never turned my back on my teams, and

624
00:26:31,828 --> 00:26:35,108
Speaker 2: I always had their backs. He fired off another tweet,

625
00:26:35,108 --> 00:26:37,308
Speaker 2: Tiki Barber, you've been a hater since I got to

626
00:26:37,308 --> 00:26:40,828
Speaker 2: New York and all the dead to me talk. Don't

627
00:26:40,908 --> 00:26:43,908
Speaker 2: smile in my face when you see.

628
00:26:43,628 --> 00:26:45,548
Speaker 3: Me, Peter.

629
00:26:47,308 --> 00:26:50,268
Speaker 8: It's also performative, like I'm not trying to like put

630
00:26:50,308 --> 00:26:52,268
Speaker 8: poked the hole in this thing. I know it's great,

631
00:26:52,268 --> 00:26:54,988
Speaker 8: And like if you're Tiki, there's a million different sports

632
00:26:55,108 --> 00:26:57,908
Speaker 8: radio shows, there's a million different they like Tiki stood out,

633
00:26:57,948 --> 00:26:59,588
Speaker 8: Like give him credit for that. It is like Tiki

634
00:26:59,628 --> 00:27:01,268
Speaker 8: made a comment and he made something and now people

635
00:27:01,308 --> 00:27:03,188
Speaker 8: are talking about Tiki Barbara today on our show and

636
00:27:03,188 --> 00:27:06,308
Speaker 8: not talking about the forty eight other different Frigan signings.

637
00:27:06,308 --> 00:27:08,228
Speaker 8: I like Tiki personally as a guy, and I also

638
00:27:08,228 --> 00:27:10,508
Speaker 8: think Saquon and him they will be in person and

639
00:27:10,548 --> 00:27:12,988
Speaker 8: it will be fine. Tiki is a sports radio host.

640
00:27:13,028 --> 00:27:14,748
Speaker 8: He was saying you're dead to me, like, I don't

641
00:27:14,748 --> 00:27:17,068
Speaker 8: think he's actually saying you're dead to me, Like, I

642
00:27:17,148 --> 00:27:19,428
Speaker 8: don't think that's where it is. And if Saquon's upset,

643
00:27:19,428 --> 00:27:22,188
Speaker 8: he has every right to be upset. Again, I can't

644
00:27:22,188 --> 00:27:24,188
Speaker 8: get too worked over. I have a lot of Giants fans.

645
00:27:24,508 --> 00:27:26,868
Speaker 8: I grew up a Giant fan. No one is actually

646
00:27:26,988 --> 00:27:29,148
Speaker 8: mad at Saquon for signing with the Eagles.

647
00:27:29,428 --> 00:27:31,588
Speaker 5: The Giants didn't offer him the same deal.

648
00:27:32,028 --> 00:27:35,308
Speaker 8: He's a capitalist, he's betting on himself. He's going to Philly.

649
00:27:35,508 --> 00:27:36,748
Speaker 8: I cannot get worked up over this.

650
00:27:36,828 --> 00:27:37,188
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.

651
00:27:37,228 --> 00:27:38,468
Speaker 8: I know we do the morning show and it'd be

652
00:27:38,468 --> 00:27:42,068
Speaker 8: great for TV if I said otherwise, Saquon, God bless Giants.

653
00:27:42,108 --> 00:27:42,988
Speaker 5: They're just fine without here.

654
00:27:43,108 --> 00:27:45,548
Speaker 9: Two Sequon went on Instagram. He posted a video of

655
00:27:45,628 --> 00:27:48,668
Speaker 9: him changing jerseys from the Giants to the Philadelphia Eagles

656
00:27:48,708 --> 00:27:51,588
Speaker 9: with fifty cent many men playing in the background and

657
00:27:51,628 --> 00:27:54,908
Speaker 9: the lyrics say many men wish death upon me, and

658
00:27:54,948 --> 00:27:57,348
Speaker 9: that was what Tiki Barb was doing. And to your point, Peter,

659
00:27:57,428 --> 00:28:00,468
Speaker 9: I think Tiki is just making content for the radio.

660
00:28:00,628 --> 00:28:01,188
Speaker 4: But I hate it.

661
00:28:01,228 --> 00:28:03,228
Speaker 9: And I'm a Tiki Barbar fan because I grew up

662
00:28:03,228 --> 00:28:05,788
Speaker 9: an identical twin and Ronde those are my guys. But

663
00:28:05,828 --> 00:28:07,468
Speaker 9: I hate it from the standpoint of now you have

664
00:28:07,468 --> 00:28:10,308
Speaker 9: a former player, a New York Giants legend, and yes,

665
00:28:10,348 --> 00:28:12,268
Speaker 9: a lot of fans aren't mad at Saquan, but there

666
00:28:12,268 --> 00:28:14,428
Speaker 9: are some who here teaking like you know what, You're

667
00:28:14,468 --> 00:28:16,628
Speaker 9: damn right. He is dead to us, and they buy

668
00:28:16,748 --> 00:28:19,228
Speaker 9: into all of that, of the hate of because he's

669
00:28:19,268 --> 00:28:22,108
Speaker 9: switching teams. The guy grew up in Pennsylvania. He probably

670
00:28:22,108 --> 00:28:25,268
Speaker 9: grew up an Eagles fan, if not, but he's going

671
00:28:25,308 --> 00:28:27,268
Speaker 9: to a team that paid the more. There is no

672
00:28:27,428 --> 00:28:29,908
Speaker 9: loyalty from a player to a team because there is

673
00:28:29,908 --> 00:28:30,948
Speaker 9: no loyalty.

674
00:28:30,548 --> 00:28:32,308
Speaker 4: From a team to a player.

675
00:28:32,468 --> 00:28:34,388
Speaker 9: We just talked about the running back position and how

676
00:28:34,388 --> 00:28:36,828
Speaker 9: great it was a day of all the free agent signings,

677
00:28:36,828 --> 00:28:39,388
Speaker 9: and Peter reminded us, Yeah, but Joe Mixon got cut

678
00:28:39,428 --> 00:28:42,428
Speaker 9: in Cincinnati, Aaron Jones got cut by the Green Bay Packers.

679
00:28:42,428 --> 00:28:45,028
Speaker 9: But all of a sudden, sa kwon Barkley's not supposed

680
00:28:45,068 --> 00:28:47,028
Speaker 9: to go to a team in his division of his

681
00:28:47,148 --> 00:28:49,788
Speaker 9: rival because this was a team that selected.

682
00:28:49,388 --> 00:28:49,988
Speaker 4: Him in the draft.

683
00:28:50,028 --> 00:28:52,068
Speaker 9: He never chose to go to the New York Giants

684
00:28:52,228 --> 00:28:55,228
Speaker 9: they drafted him. So as much as it is just content,

685
00:28:55,468 --> 00:28:57,788
Speaker 9: I hate it from a standpoint of as former players

686
00:28:57,908 --> 00:28:59,908
Speaker 9: we get into the media and do we attack guys

687
00:29:00,068 --> 00:29:02,348
Speaker 9: for things that so many players do of leaving in

688
00:29:02,468 --> 00:29:03,028
Speaker 9: free agency.

689
00:29:03,188 --> 00:29:04,748
Speaker 4: So yes, I hate it. Don't like to say it.

690
00:29:04,748 --> 00:29:07,308
Speaker 3: Don't need it, Kyle, you opened up this can of worms.

691
00:29:07,308 --> 00:29:09,228
Speaker 3: Put a bow on it. Please. In terms of Tiki

692
00:29:09,308 --> 00:29:10,228
Speaker 3: vers Saquon.

693
00:29:10,748 --> 00:29:15,428
Speaker 6: Well, you know there's there's the the Mega Powers exploding. There,

694
00:29:15,548 --> 00:29:18,948
Speaker 6: there's Andre the Giant aligning himself with Bobby Heenan and

695
00:29:19,068 --> 00:29:22,468
Speaker 6: Seth Rollins joining the authority. These are all the wicked

696
00:29:22,548 --> 00:29:25,308
Speaker 6: heel turns that we've seen over the years. Yeah, because

697
00:29:26,228 --> 00:29:29,068
Speaker 6: Saquon should have said no to the Philadelphia Eagles and

698
00:29:29,108 --> 00:29:31,948
Speaker 6: said no, I'm gonna take way way less because the

699
00:29:32,028 --> 00:29:34,308
Speaker 6: Giants drafting, What are we talking about. It's not a

700
00:29:34,308 --> 00:29:38,148
Speaker 6: real thing. I almost wonder if Saquon just saw tweets

701
00:29:38,148 --> 00:29:41,468
Speaker 6: about Tiki's quote and didn't see Tiki's quote on video

702
00:29:41,548 --> 00:29:46,828
Speaker 6: because Tiki's smiling and like ingest obviously, but let's not

703
00:29:46,948 --> 00:29:50,188
Speaker 6: pretend like in free agency, the guy that has been

704
00:29:50,748 --> 00:29:53,668
Speaker 6: going back and forth with the Giants for years finally

705
00:29:53,708 --> 00:29:56,228
Speaker 6: going to a team that happens to arrival isn't like.

706
00:29:56,148 --> 00:29:57,788
Speaker 5: Some shocking thing.

707
00:29:58,468 --> 00:30:01,308
Speaker 6: Tucker Carlson's having dinner with Joe Biden and Rachel Maddow

708
00:30:01,388 --> 00:30:03,548
Speaker 6: is a vacation in mar Lago.

709
00:30:04,028 --> 00:30:04,308
Speaker 5: It's not.

710
00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:06,228
Speaker 6: That's not what happened. All right, You had to go

711
00:30:06,268 --> 00:30:08,508
Speaker 6: to a team that paid a bunch of money. It's over, fine,

712
00:30:08,548 --> 00:30:11,028
Speaker 6: it happened. I think actually the Giants fans that I

713
00:30:11,068 --> 00:30:14,388
Speaker 6: know Peter are actually happy that the Giants didn't pay

714
00:30:14,468 --> 00:30:17,108
Speaker 6: him some massive contract. Fine, good, he's gone. He's the

715
00:30:17,108 --> 00:30:18,988
Speaker 6: Eagles problem. He's a running back. I think it's actually

716
00:30:19,028 --> 00:30:19,948
Speaker 6: the opposite of that.

717
00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:22,348
Speaker 8: So come on, yeah, we're gonna We're gonna get to

718
00:30:22,348 --> 00:30:23,908
Speaker 8: that in the show, Kyle. I honestly am, because I

719
00:30:23,908 --> 00:30:25,348
Speaker 8: think a lot of Giants fans are like, let's just

720
00:30:25,388 --> 00:30:27,508
Speaker 8: be downt like God bless and good will, like good

721
00:30:27,588 --> 00:30:29,868
Speaker 8: ridd It's like good like it's over a thing for

722
00:30:29,988 --> 00:30:34,668
Speaker 8: years now. My kid, Saquon Barkley Jersey every Monday School

723
00:30:34,668 --> 00:30:37,228
Speaker 8: like love Saquon Barkley. It was a strange conversation to

724
00:30:37,228 --> 00:30:39,588
Speaker 8: say he's going to the the Eagles, the rival. But

725
00:30:39,628 --> 00:30:42,028
Speaker 8: guess what Tuesday starts in a two to the Giants.

726
00:30:42,068 --> 00:30:45,108
Speaker 8: Get well, they got Brian Burns. And this is the NFL.

727
00:30:45,148 --> 00:30:47,148
Speaker 8: It's a business. And I think to your point, I'm

728
00:30:47,148 --> 00:30:48,828
Speaker 8: gonna give Tiki a pass on this one. That was

729
00:30:48,868 --> 00:30:50,868
Speaker 8: in total jest and I don't think he actually means

730
00:30:50,908 --> 00:30:51,868
Speaker 8: death to Saquon.

731
00:30:52,068 --> 00:30:52,628
Speaker 4: Ridiculous.

732
00:30:57,428 --> 00:30:59,868
Speaker 2: We're back on Good Morning Football, Tom Tella Sero joining

733
00:30:59,948 --> 00:31:02,828
Speaker 2: us now, keeping an eye and tracking everything that has

734
00:31:02,868 --> 00:31:05,228
Speaker 2: gone down since free agency up yesterday.

735
00:31:05,228 --> 00:31:06,028
Speaker 3: A lot of moves.

736
00:31:06,708 --> 00:31:09,708
Speaker 2: But Josh Jacobs leaving Vegas for Green Bay. Let's start

737
00:31:09,708 --> 00:31:11,428
Speaker 2: there and work our way backwards, Tom, where do you

738
00:31:11,468 --> 00:31:11,828
Speaker 2: take us?

739
00:31:13,708 --> 00:31:14,028
Speaker 5: Jamie?

740
00:31:14,108 --> 00:31:16,788
Speaker 10: That was one of the surprises on the first day

741
00:31:16,788 --> 00:31:20,188
Speaker 10: of the free agent negotiating period. Josh Jacobs a green

742
00:31:20,388 --> 00:31:24,188
Speaker 10: term with the Packers on a four year, forty eight

743
00:31:24,388 --> 00:31:28,548
Speaker 10: million dollar contract. The twenty twenty two NFL rushing champ

744
00:31:28,628 --> 00:31:31,828
Speaker 10: leaving the Raiders headed to the Packers, who, in a

745
00:31:31,908 --> 00:31:35,588
Speaker 10: related move, released their veteran running back Aaron Jones. But

746
00:31:35,708 --> 00:31:38,468
Speaker 10: it makes a lot of sense for Josh Jacobs. He

747
00:31:38,508 --> 00:31:41,988
Speaker 10: gets over fourteen million dollars in year one of this deal.

748
00:31:42,188 --> 00:31:46,068
Speaker 10: The Packers don't guarantee future years, but Jacobs also has

749
00:31:46,108 --> 00:31:49,468
Speaker 10: a lump sum roster bonus to next March. Worst case

750
00:31:49,508 --> 00:31:52,028
Speaker 10: scenario for him, he makes over fourteen million dollars for

751
00:31:52,148 --> 00:31:54,988
Speaker 10: one year. More than likely he's going to make at

752
00:31:55,068 --> 00:31:58,588
Speaker 10: least twenty four million dollars over two Meanwhile, the Raiders

753
00:31:58,588 --> 00:32:02,388
Speaker 10: also were adding. On the first day of the negotiating window,

754
00:32:02,548 --> 00:32:06,908
Speaker 10: they made a big splash adding defensive tackle Christian Wilkins

755
00:32:06,948 --> 00:32:10,508
Speaker 10: on an absolute monster deal. It is four years, one

756
00:32:10,628 --> 00:32:12,068
Speaker 10: hundred and ten million. I got to read that on

757
00:32:12,108 --> 00:32:14,988
Speaker 10: the screen again to believe it. Huge money for a

758
00:32:15,108 --> 00:32:19,908
Speaker 10: huge man, really strong cash flow. Antonio Pierce and Patrick Graham,

759
00:32:19,908 --> 00:32:23,388
Speaker 10: of course want to build a certain style of football team.

760
00:32:23,468 --> 00:32:25,948
Speaker 10: It is built on toughness, It is built on being

761
00:32:25,948 --> 00:32:28,788
Speaker 10: more physical than the other guy. Christian Wilkins does that

762
00:32:29,068 --> 00:32:31,828
Speaker 10: as well as anybody who's on the free agent market.

763
00:32:31,868 --> 00:32:35,828
Speaker 10: Where's also added a quarterback. It is the veteran journeyman

764
00:32:36,228 --> 00:32:39,428
Speaker 10: Gardner Minshew who signs on a two year deal that

765
00:32:39,508 --> 00:32:45,228
Speaker 10: includes fifteen million dollars fully guaranteed for Gardner Minshew, what

766
00:32:45,268 --> 00:32:47,588
Speaker 10: he really wanted was an opportunity to start.

767
00:32:47,628 --> 00:32:49,468
Speaker 5: He now heads to Las Vegas.

768
00:32:49,108 --> 00:32:51,748
Speaker 10: Where he's going to be competing with Aidan O'Connell and

769
00:32:51,948 --> 00:32:55,628
Speaker 10: quite possibly whatever quarterback the Raiders might take in next

770
00:32:55,628 --> 00:32:56,148
Speaker 10: month's draft.

771
00:32:56,268 --> 00:32:59,788
Speaker 2: Jamie, clearly sheen Steiken was able to get the best

772
00:32:59,828 --> 00:33:01,828
Speaker 2: out of Gardner Minshew with the Colts in the second

773
00:33:01,868 --> 00:33:03,828
Speaker 2: half of last season, and I'm sure the Raiders are

774
00:33:03,868 --> 00:33:06,588
Speaker 2: now hoping or the same for Minshew mania to live

775
00:33:06,588 --> 00:33:07,268
Speaker 2: on once again.

776
00:33:07,308 --> 00:33:09,508
Speaker 3: Tom Polasaro, thank you very much.

777
00:33:09,588 --> 00:33:12,388
Speaker 2: It's time for On the Move, brought to you by

778
00:33:12,428 --> 00:33:16,628
Speaker 2: Fisher Investments, reaction to the Raiders' additions and frankly.

779
00:33:16,308 --> 00:33:18,388
Speaker 3: Their losses in the past twenty four hours.

780
00:33:18,668 --> 00:33:22,308
Speaker 2: Kyle, we turned to you immediately because you have something

781
00:33:22,388 --> 00:33:24,068
Speaker 2: sizzling you want to get out there in the universe.

782
00:33:25,468 --> 00:33:26,988
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess I do.

783
00:33:28,428 --> 00:33:31,388
Speaker 6: I'm going to talk about the sizzling Las Vegas Raiders

784
00:33:31,668 --> 00:33:33,548
Speaker 6: and the fact that they spend a bunch of money

785
00:33:33,548 --> 00:33:38,228
Speaker 6: that Tom just mentioned, and normally I would say, okay, well, Stobby,

786
00:33:38,228 --> 00:33:39,868
Speaker 6: if you've heard this one before, the Raiders spent a

787
00:33:39,908 --> 00:33:40,388
Speaker 6: bunch of money.

788
00:33:40,428 --> 00:33:42,028
Speaker 5: They're going to be tough and they're going to build

789
00:33:42,028 --> 00:33:42,708
Speaker 5: from the upfront.

790
00:33:42,748 --> 00:33:45,908
Speaker 6: And I mean, listen, I remember vividly covering the draft

791
00:33:45,988 --> 00:33:48,268
Speaker 6: when it was John Gruden and Mike Mayock and they're

792
00:33:48,268 --> 00:33:50,668
Speaker 6: going to draft big Klee Farrell to be the defensive

793
00:33:50,668 --> 00:33:52,468
Speaker 6: tackle and we're going to build from the inside. It

794
00:33:52,508 --> 00:33:55,228
Speaker 6: didn't work out. I think this is different. Why is

795
00:33:55,228 --> 00:33:57,668
Speaker 6: this different? Because the Raiders beat the Chiefs last year.

796
00:33:57,708 --> 00:34:00,428
Speaker 6: They beat them on Christmas Day, they beat them in Arrowhead,

797
00:34:00,628 --> 00:34:02,428
Speaker 6: and they beat them up. They beat them up with

798
00:34:02,468 --> 00:34:06,068
Speaker 6: defense and defensive scores, and it was really really a

799
00:34:06,108 --> 00:34:08,628
Speaker 6: special thing when there was cigar smoke wafting down the

800
00:34:08,668 --> 00:34:10,348
Speaker 6: hallways of Overhead Stateium. Now, the Chiefs went out to

801
00:34:10,348 --> 00:34:12,868
Speaker 6: win the Super Bowl, but the fact that Antonio appears

802
00:34:12,988 --> 00:34:16,148
Speaker 6: has something going here. So you say, all right, they're tough,

803
00:34:16,268 --> 00:34:18,788
Speaker 6: they beat them, they can play defense. Do they have

804
00:34:18,828 --> 00:34:22,708
Speaker 6: a quarterback? I guess it's Cardner Minshew. But the biggest

805
00:34:22,788 --> 00:34:26,028
Speaker 6: video yesterday when Gardner becomes a Raider was this one

806
00:34:26,068 --> 00:34:28,628
Speaker 6: with him last year going up against Max Crosby and

807
00:34:28,628 --> 00:34:32,188
Speaker 6: them having like a very very repetitive, very direct dialogue.

808
00:34:32,228 --> 00:34:58,868
Speaker 11: Go ahead, roll it over, anyway, Well, last boy.

809
00:34:51,508 --> 00:34:57,828
Speaker 9: Well, last boy, dude, Max Crosby is so damn angry bright.

810
00:34:58,908 --> 00:34:59,188
Speaker 6: I like.

811
00:34:59,268 --> 00:35:02,228
Speaker 9: The thing is like he's not look at that, I know, right,

812
00:35:02,508 --> 00:35:06,468
Speaker 9: he just calls He keeps calling everybody, boy, hey, little

813
00:35:06,508 --> 00:35:07,028
Speaker 9: ass boy.

814
00:35:07,588 --> 00:35:10,148
Speaker 4: Right, I'm like, I'm little out here, but not always

815
00:35:10,228 --> 00:35:10,388
Speaker 4: you know.

816
00:35:12,068 --> 00:35:13,628
Speaker 6: All right, those two guys are going to try to

817
00:35:13,628 --> 00:35:16,828
Speaker 6: beat the Chiefs again next year. The Lab will call

818
00:35:16,908 --> 00:35:20,388
Speaker 6: him and Max Crosby, Jason, are you into it?

819
00:35:20,428 --> 00:35:22,788
Speaker 5: And what do you think of the lab nickname that?

820
00:35:22,908 --> 00:35:23,108
Speaker 4: Now?

821
00:35:23,308 --> 00:35:26,668
Speaker 6: I mean, when's Gardner Minshew runs into Crosby at the Raiders' facility,

822
00:35:26,668 --> 00:35:28,188
Speaker 6: doesn't he have to go up to Max and say,

823
00:35:28,268 --> 00:35:31,228
Speaker 6: what's up, litt last boy, I'm your teammate now.

824
00:35:31,348 --> 00:35:34,188
Speaker 9: Oh, I'm cracking up as I watched that. The best

825
00:35:34,188 --> 00:35:37,148
Speaker 9: thing about is Crosby just so just walking over slightly

826
00:35:37,148 --> 00:35:39,948
Speaker 9: saying last. But then Gardner getting on the sideline is

827
00:35:39,988 --> 00:35:42,588
Speaker 9: like the scene from Friday where Debo comes around snatch

828
00:35:42,628 --> 00:35:45,588
Speaker 9: the chain and Smokey's like when he leaves, I'll be

829
00:35:45,628 --> 00:35:47,708
Speaker 9: talking again. And that was Minchew like, I might be

830
00:35:47,748 --> 00:35:49,988
Speaker 9: little on the field, but I'm big at other times.

831
00:35:50,108 --> 00:35:52,868
Speaker 9: I absolutely love that. And you pair that with the

832
00:35:52,948 --> 00:35:56,428
Speaker 9: Raiders bringing in Christian Wilkins and Patrick Graham, the defensive coordinator.

833
00:35:56,588 --> 00:35:58,948
Speaker 9: He was in Miami as a defensive coordinator when they

834
00:35:59,068 --> 00:36:02,588
Speaker 9: drafted Christian Wilkins in twenty nineteen out of Clemson. And

835
00:36:02,828 --> 00:36:04,628
Speaker 9: you talk about Crosby getting out to pay, but we

836
00:36:04,628 --> 00:36:06,508
Speaker 9: saw him at the quarterback.

837
00:36:06,268 --> 00:36:07,388
Speaker 5: Going after Mahomes.

838
00:36:07,508 --> 00:36:09,908
Speaker 9: Christian Wilkins has been doing it for years in Miami,

839
00:36:10,148 --> 00:36:13,588
Speaker 9: pulling guys towels when they're not expecting it. The few

840
00:36:13,668 --> 00:36:15,908
Speaker 9: that he's had with Josh Allen being accused of some

841
00:36:15,948 --> 00:36:18,468
Speaker 9: things underneath the pile that we're not going to get into.

842
00:36:18,668 --> 00:36:19,708
Speaker 4: But this is Christian.

843
00:36:19,468 --> 00:36:22,068
Speaker 9: Wilkins, this is Alba Kamara. You can see him getting mad.

844
00:36:22,268 --> 00:36:24,348
Speaker 9: He'll go He'll snatch a towel right there, throw it

845
00:36:24,348 --> 00:36:26,468
Speaker 9: on the ground. All of those little things from a

846
00:36:26,508 --> 00:36:29,668
Speaker 9: defensive lineman that you can do to annoy guys, Christian

847
00:36:29,668 --> 00:36:32,748
Speaker 9: Wilkins is all for you. Mix that with Max Crosby.

848
00:36:32,788 --> 00:36:35,508
Speaker 9: How hard these guys play the game, how many plays

849
00:36:35,668 --> 00:36:38,508
Speaker 9: a game that Christian Wilkins plays. They're going to be

850
00:36:38,628 --> 00:36:41,148
Speaker 9: unstoppable and so much fun to watch. They can get

851
00:36:41,188 --> 00:36:43,948
Speaker 9: Tyree Wilson to come along. Marcus Koon stepped up and

852
00:36:43,988 --> 00:36:46,628
Speaker 9: made plays for them, getting after the quarterback. This is

853
00:36:46,668 --> 00:36:49,548
Speaker 9: a defensive lineman tandem that I cannot.

854
00:36:49,228 --> 00:36:49,908
Speaker 4: Wait to see.

855
00:36:49,988 --> 00:36:52,548
Speaker 9: I can't wait to see quarterbacks pissed off talking about

856
00:36:52,588 --> 00:36:55,548
Speaker 9: after the game being called in lab as, Kyle just

857
00:36:55,628 --> 00:36:57,228
Speaker 9: termed it, this is going to be so much fun.

858
00:36:57,268 --> 00:36:59,508
Speaker 4: I'm excited. Then Christian Wilkin's showing the moves. That's what

859
00:36:59,508 --> 00:37:00,148
Speaker 4: it's all about.

860
00:37:00,188 --> 00:37:00,868
Speaker 5: Well, think about it.

861
00:37:00,948 --> 00:37:03,748
Speaker 8: This is Antonio Pierce made headlines over the last few

862
00:37:03,788 --> 00:37:06,068
Speaker 8: weeks talking about the Mahomes rules and how we've got

863
00:37:06,108 --> 00:37:08,428
Speaker 8: to treat Patrick Mahomes differently. The O their quarterbacks, and

864
00:37:08,788 --> 00:37:11,028
Speaker 8: you know Max Crosby is a motor that never stops.

865
00:37:11,068 --> 00:37:12,668
Speaker 4: Yeah, so does Christian Wilkins.

866
00:37:12,708 --> 00:37:15,148
Speaker 8: And he's an antagonist, which is such the raider way.

867
00:37:15,308 --> 00:37:18,788
Speaker 8: Like Christian Wilkins is a beloved teammate, he's one of

868
00:37:18,828 --> 00:37:20,628
Speaker 8: the most hated players on the field because of the

869
00:37:20,628 --> 00:37:23,748
Speaker 8: extra curriculars, because he just never stops doing stuff. You

870
00:37:23,788 --> 00:37:26,108
Speaker 8: mentioned pulling towels. He'll flick you in the groin and

871
00:37:26,148 --> 00:37:28,668
Speaker 8: he'll do stuff in the pilot like players do not

872
00:37:28,828 --> 00:37:32,868
Speaker 8: like going up against Christian Wilks. That is very in

873
00:37:33,308 --> 00:37:35,788
Speaker 8: line with Antonio Pier saying we're gonna be just a gnat.

874
00:37:35,828 --> 00:37:37,788
Speaker 5: We're gonna be annoying to you. You're not gonna want.

875
00:37:37,668 --> 00:37:38,308
Speaker 4: To face us.

876
00:37:38,668 --> 00:37:43,708
Speaker 8: Look, the AFC West is loaded because of the Chiefs.

877
00:37:43,788 --> 00:37:46,868
Speaker 8: It's loaded because of Jim Harbaugh. Sean Payton's team's gonna

878
00:37:46,868 --> 00:37:49,108
Speaker 8: come up. The Raiders made a major statement yesterday. I

879
00:37:49,108 --> 00:37:52,028
Speaker 8: think the Minshew thing might be, Hey, we're gonna have

880
00:37:52,028 --> 00:37:53,828
Speaker 8: Minshew in a rookie, let's figure it all out. We'll

881
00:37:53,828 --> 00:37:56,628
Speaker 8: go from here, Aidan O'Connell, or this is Minshew's time,

882
00:37:56,788 --> 00:38:00,508
Speaker 8: whatever the reason. Christian Wilkins is a huge addition. And

883
00:38:00,548 --> 00:38:04,228
Speaker 8: you mentioned Tyree Wilson, Yes, ninety inch wingspan. Mulligan on

884
00:38:04,268 --> 00:38:06,868
Speaker 8: his rookie year did nothing. You didn't hear anything from him.

885
00:38:07,668 --> 00:38:09,588
Speaker 8: He's coming too. So I think they have a very

886
00:38:09,748 --> 00:38:11,508
Speaker 8: very good thing in place here, at least on the

887
00:38:11,508 --> 00:38:12,148
Speaker 8: defensive line.
