Speaker 1: thousand two season for Lebron squad. I actually think there

26
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: are parallels with an NFL division that someone's bound to

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: have a disastrous season. We just don't know which one,

28
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: which one is coming. Uh. And then'll just fly around

47
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: say timing is everything, and uh, I believe that is

48
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: true because right before I was about to hit record,

49
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter throughout a tweet to the universe that, honestly

50
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: my first reaction double check. I'm like, I'm not getting spoofed.

51
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: Is it still April Fools? Is April Fools only April one?

52
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Or does that last entire week? So I did a

53
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: double check. It was actually him. There was a big trade.

54
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: And anytime a draft trade happens, that's not like a

55
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: top two or three picks a little alarming. Like I

56
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: I kind of read flaggett. I don't know that there's

57
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: more to the story. Like last year when the forty

58
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: nine ers a month before the draft traded to pick three,

59
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: it was clear what they were doing, right, we just

60
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: had to figure out what quarterback were they gonna take?

61
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Many moons ago and I actually didn't love the trade,

62
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: though once they ended up with Sam Donald, I did

63
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: love it, and then it turns out it was wrong

64
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: because Sam Donald wasn't that good. The Jets did something

65
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: similar right. They traded from six to three with the

66
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: Colts uh to get ultimately with other than Sam Donald

67
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: in the Baker Mayfield Draft, and it worked out for

68
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: the Colts because the Colts ended up getting quitn Nelson.

69
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: But the trade, it just took place. I think Howey

70
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Roseman is one. He's been a wheeler and dealer since

71
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: he took over as a general manager. But I think

72
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: he is one of the smarter gms in the league

73
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to value. And I say this all

74
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: the time about the draft. The draft is more than

75
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: just acquiring players. It is a market exercise and basically economics,

76
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: you place values on picks and then the players on

77
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: what picks you have to use to acquire them. Right,

78
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: you would not take a guy in the top ten

79
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: if you know you can get him in the third round.

80
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: You would not buy a million dollar house if you

81
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: can get the same house down the street for four

82
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. And then you have to factor in

83
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: the inventory in this draft relative to the inventory potentially

84
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: in next draft. That's why the Patriots forever and a

85
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: lot of teams have instituted this now because their guys

86
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: are all over the place are constantly evaluating multiple drafts

87
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: at once. Right, Because if you're gonna trade for future

88
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: year's drafts, you have to have some idea of the

89
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: talent pool in that group relative to the talent pool

90
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: in this current group. And Schefter put out a good

91
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: little graphic. Basically, the Eagles, who had three picks in

92
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: the top nineteen, right, they had fifteen, sixteen, and nineteen,

93
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: traded two of those picks sixteen and nineteen for the

94
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: Saints eighteenth overall pick. And at first like, what is

95
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: going on, Well, here's the key. The Eagles get the

96
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: Saints first round and pick next year, because ultimately, you

97
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: don't need three first round picks in the draft unless

98
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: you're the shittiest team in the league, like the Lions

99
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: with the Jackson completely starting over. The Eagles won nine

100
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: games last year, and when you get three first round picks,

101
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: you guarantee their contracts, so they got the opportunity one

102
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: to unload one of those picks for a future one.

103
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: But here's the key. When you look at the Saints,

104
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: you go, they've lost their two best as it's the

105
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: last two years, their quarterback and definitely their coach. They

106
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: now have Dennis Allen taking over. They have Jamis Winston

107
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: returning at quarterback off an a c L. So I go,

108
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: what are the chances that they're gonna be as good

109
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: as they just wore last year? I would short them.

110
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. They have really excelled at defense

111
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: the last three or four years with Dennis Allen as

112
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator. Well, now he doesn't get to just

113
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: focus on the guys on his unit. He has to

114
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: be the head coach. Some guys are just meant to

115
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: be CFOs or cmos, not the CEO. What Sean Payton

116
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: could do was elite, right. He could lead the squad

117
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: and he could call the offense. And people, I know

118
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL, I know it's kind of controversial on

119
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: social media. Is he overhyped? Is he as good as

120
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: people think? Well? Yeah, he was making fifteen sixty million

121
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: dollars for a reason. He was widely considered the top

122
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: three or four coach in the league, and they lost him.

123
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: So I think, if you're Howie, you're kind of and

124
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: against the Saints being that good. So you get there

125
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: one next year and who knows they could crumble, right,

126
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: he has their second the following year. To me, this

127
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: is the easiest trade he's ever made. Like to me, Howie,

128
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: if you're the Saints, unless you have another move And and

129
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of people out there on

130
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: the internet streets thinking that they may package these picks

131
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: to move up, but we're not talking about some great

132
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: quarterback draft. And the guy that evaluated the quarterbacks really well,

133
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. Remember he loved Patrick Mahomes. He was into

134
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: He's just been hot on some guys that turned out

135
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: to be really good. I think he was a big

136
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo guy. Uh, it's gone. So to me, if

137
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: i'm Howie, I'm basically shorting the Saints. That's what he did.

138
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: This trade probably took him ten seconds to be like,

139
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: are you serious? This is the deal? Seeau? I mean

140
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: how he has been excellent now the last couple of

141
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: years in terms of wheeling and dealing in the draft,

142
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: Like this is why he keeps getting extensions from Jeffrey Lurie.

143
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: This is why the Eagles are not going a way

144
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: anytime soon, even though, like I'm not a huge believer

145
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: in their quarterback, but a lot of people are saying

146
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: that next year is a way better quarterback draft. True,

147
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: now he's got more assets. I think it's even less

148
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: about that, even though I'm sure that came up in

149
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: conversation in their front office. I think it's more about

150
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: I think the Saints will suck this incredible value. We

151
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: don't need all these picks at the end of the teams.

152
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Let's use one of these to parlay it basically into

153
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: a first and a second in future years, so we

154
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: have more cheap labor that comes in high end. Right,

155
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: It's one thing to accumulate fifth, six, seventh round picks.

156
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: Those are complete crapshoots. When you have a first round

157
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: pick or second round pick, you feel pretty confident on

158
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: draft day about nailing that pick. In the Saints, I

159
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: don't know. It feels like they're a little lost. It

160
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: feels like they think they're a little closer than they are. Uh. Now,

161
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: you could argue, if Brady were to retire next year, again,

162
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: the Panthers suck. You know, who knows? The Falcons are

163
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: going nowhere fast? Maybe that you could just be a

164
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: playoff contend or at eight nine wins in the future.

165
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: I would probably still bet against that though, so to me,

166
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: this is a no brainer for the Eagles, and I

167
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: just kind of question the Saints Vanduel sports Book NBA

197
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: buzz about these wide receivers, about guys like DK Metcalf.

198
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler came out and said that DK Metcalf can

199
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: be had for the right price. There's out there that

200
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: a J. Brown and deebo s annual, and I think

201
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: sometimes trends and things. I think social media is king

202
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: of this. Like you see a couple of people that

203
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: you know on vacation, You're like, everyone's vacationing. Why am

204
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: I so miserable and I'm working? Or like your one

205
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: buddy buys a new home and you're like everyone's getting

206
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: new homes. I need a new home, you know. Like

207
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: that's like two people on social media, you know, and

208
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: it just feels like everything is shaping out that way,

209
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: like there's just a new like that that's what everyone's doing,

210
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: even though it's a small percentage of people that you

211
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: actually know doing these things. And I think sometimes when

212
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: trades happen and I know I've got this in my

213
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: d M s, they're like everyone's getting traded? Is this

214
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: a new NFL? No. Two guys got traded at Wide

215
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: Receiver that were on their third contract. These were not

216
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: guys that weren't extended the first time around, right, They

217
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: were drafted by the Chiefs and the packers, and then

218
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: they were extended by the Chiefs and the packers, and

219
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: then they were traded. When it came both of them

220
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: were heading into their last year of their contract for

221
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: their third contract. So when I see guys starting with DK,

222
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: though I would say there's a little smoke there. A J.

223
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: Brown and Deebo Samuel, who I'm pretty confident are beloved

224
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: by their franchise. Though when the money come out came

225
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: out for the new the Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill,

226
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: I get why that ruffles some feathers, but I think

227
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: we need to pump the brakes and realize those two

228
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: guys don't have that much in common with this group

229
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: of players. DK metcalf A, J. Brown, Deebo Samuel have

230
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: a combined three Pro Bowls. Right, They're all good players,

231
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: They're ascending players, They're very talented players. Tyreek Hill and

232
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: Davante Adams had made eleven straight Pro Bowls, and these

233
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: weren't like Mac Jones Pro Bowls. These were real Pro Bowls.

234
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: These guys are both headed to the Hall of Fame

235
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: if their careers just stay on track for a couple

236
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: more years like that, they already have Hall of Fame resumes.

237
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: These other guys three years in the league, a lot

238
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: of promise, still a long way to go now. A. J.

239
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: Brown and Deebo Samuel are core players on teams that

240
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: are double digit wins and feel like they're gonna can

241
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: instantly go to the playoffs for a while and the

242
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: Titans and now both of them gonna ask for a

243
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: lot of money. And I understand it's part of the market.

244
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: With DK Metcalf just asking around, I think there are

245
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: some people around the league that, you know, send some

246
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: deva qualities. But here's the thing. Ultimately, since he's come

247
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: to Seattle twenty nine touchdowns in three seasons, he's dominating.

248
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: Now we found out that he only eats one meal

249
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: a day, heat three bags of candy, just a genetic freak.

250
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: Like some people me, I have a half a carton

251
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: of ice cream. I gained five pounds. D K can

252
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: eat candy literally every day and he just gets more ripped.

253
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible. I never, like, I'm telling you, when

254
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: I worked with the Eagles. When I first got there,

255
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: I remember seeing like Deshaun eat lunch every day. It

256
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: was like double cheeseburgers and fries. Like, yeah, some people

257
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: are freaks. Some people like me just get fat when

258
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: we don't eat salads. You know, It's just it's just

259
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: the way the cookie crumbles. But I do think that

260
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf is a little bit of a complicated case,

261
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: but ultimately the point of being a GM and big

262
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: head coach when you draft players and the GM and

263
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: the head coach at Seattle are still Pete Carroll and

264
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: John Schneider, Right, they drafted this guy, is literally drafting

265
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and then extending him now maybe on the

266
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: third contract. And you've seen with Seattle they have moved

267
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: on from guys like Richard Sherman, Cam Chancellor, Earl Thomas

268
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: time and time again they have moved on from third

269
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: contract guys, but all their sweet players in their tenure,

270
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: they extended the third the second time around. Right because

271
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: they drafted this guy in the second round. He's been

272
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: a star for them. I don't envision him getting traded,

273
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: And I think it feels like all these wide receivers

274
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: are about to get traded. Tyreek Kill and Davante Adams

275
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: didn't get traded the first time around. They got traded

276
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: the second time around because it became so complicated. They

277
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: also had they're paying super premiums to both their quarterbacks.

278
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: All these situations are a little bit different. I mean,

279
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: the forty nine is literally have a rookie contract once

280
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: they unload Jimmy whether they cut him or trade him.

281
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: Tanny Hill, you know, doesn't make that much money in Seattle,

282
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: doesn't have a quarterback. So it's like, why would you

283
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: be getting rid of these players? It doesn't make any sense.

284
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: But the internet streets tell you they're all gonna get traded.

285
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to Belichick and I think sometimes and listen,

286
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: I think we all struggle with this because there's not

287
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: a right or wrong way to know when something is

288
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: a sunk cost, right it. It'd be easy in life

289
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: if you just went like, the market is going to

290
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: crash in a week, sell your home today, or this

291
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: stock is gonna be cut in half in the next month.

292
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: I would sell it right now. If that was the case,

293
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: we had some crystal ball. If I told you, right

294
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: now I know for a fact so and so is

295
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: gonna win the masters put a thousand dollars on them,

296
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: you would do it. But no one freaking knows, right,

297
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: the future is unknown. Now you can tell, like the

298
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: last six months you're like, yeah, this market sucks, I'm

299
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: losing a ton of money in the stock market every day,

300
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: or vice versa. Right, this market is booming. I'm making

301
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: a ton of money on my house. I've gained two

302
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: dollars in equity in the last six months. I didn't

303
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: even do anything right. So we know, you can feel

304
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: when things are good or bad. Just like in football.

305
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: There's not a right or wrong time to be like,

306
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, should we move on from this player or

307
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: should we keep this player? But you can go you know,

308
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: this player actually is turning it around, or this player

309
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: is really struggling, like Nikkil Harry. It was pretty clear

310
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: early on that that was probably the wrong pick. But

311
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: I would say historically, most guys that are drafted high,

312
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: it's easy to move off a fourth or fifth, a six,

313
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick. One you're not financially invested, and

314
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: two in terms of the actual pick value in a building,

315
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: it's just even separate from the money. It's kind of

316
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: irrelevant because the moment an undrafted free agent outplays a

317
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: fifth round pick, no one cares about that fifth round

318
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: pick anymore. That undrafted free agent just becomes a core

319
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: player on your team and starts. But a lot of

320
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: times when you draft a guy in the first definitely

321
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: the first, but even the second round, you just hold

322
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: onto it till the bitter end. You write it out

323
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: and I've said forever. Listen, Belichick's best quality is his

324
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: ability to coach. His ability to coach is second to none.

325
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: It's elite, it's all time. He's the greatest defensive schematic

326
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: guy in the history of the league. Even Bill Parcel said,

327
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: you know his game plans against Bill Walsh or in

328
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, and that was thirty five years ago.

329
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean the guys, the guys won six Super Bowls.

330
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: Is just the head coach, been three other ones where

331
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,239
Speaker 1: he lost. I mean, he speaks for itself. We know

332
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: that he he can coach special teams. If right now,

333
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: he would be the best special teams coordinator in the league.

334
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: I saw that he said Matt Slater is the special

335
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: teams like what Tom Brady and lt Art offense and defense,

336
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: And I agree. And only a guy like that would

337
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: value a player for that long like Bill. And he

338
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: might be the offensive coordinator this year for the Patriots.

339
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: So he just has pitches in the bag that other

340
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: people don't. But I do think his underrated quality is

341
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: to not write out a sunk cost till the bitter

342
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: end once he sees like I'll give him credit on

343
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: to kill Harry last year, they can just bench him

344
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: and not use them. They used him. They just didn't

345
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: really throw in the ball. They used him as a blocker,

346
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: and they had one of the better run games in

347
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: the league, and he basically operated like a tight end.

348
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: They would use them like at the line of scrimmage

349
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: and he was just crushing linebacker because he is a

350
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: big dude. But he's just not a very good player,

351
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: at least for them. Even Listen, I was wrong. I

352
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: like to kill Harry coming out, and you know, I

353
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: like Drake London a lot Now. I think Drake London

354
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: is a much better prospect coming out than to kill Harry.

355
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: But I think they have similar games. A lot of physicality,

356
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: a lot of catching radio stuff, a lot of breaking tackles,

357
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: a lot of not running around people, but like running

358
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: over people, running through people, and catching balls in traffic.

359
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: So I would take a low round flyer on Nikeel

360
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: Harry Bill is gonna trade this guy Bill over the weekend,

361
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: or maybe it happened on Friday afternoon, maybe it happened

362
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Traded for DeVante Parker basically gave a third

363
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: round pick to Miami and we've seen him make deals

364
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins before a guy named Wes Welker truned

365
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: out to be a pretty good play here for Bill.

366
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: So Delante Parker is a better player than the quel

367
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: and the Patriots offensive weapons at wide receiver are average

368
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: at best, probably below average, so he's in a mediate upgrade.

369
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: But he'll also, like I would imagine at least by

370
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: if not before the draft, on draft Day, nikkil Harry

371
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: will be traded. And I don't think a lot of

372
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: general managers would do that because they draft him in

373
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: the first round. They would just right out all four years.

374
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: Even we see it all the time. Teams that don't

375
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: pick up their fifth year option on the first rounder

376
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: just let that guy play all four years, even though

377
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: going into year four it's clear this guy is you're

378
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: not gonna have him on the team after Bill just

379
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: pivots before that. And I don't think he gets enough

380
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: credit for that. I really don't uh the Watson contract.

381
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: Peter King, who was at the NFL owners meetings, wrote

382
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: a lot about it. The Ravens owner had some comments

383
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: basically talking a lot of shit about Jimmy Haslum. Felt

384
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: like a lot of the under lying uh conversations of

385
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: the owners in Florida was about how terrible this contract

386
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: was for business, and Peter King wrote it out that

387
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: nineteen of Patrick mahomes contract was guaranteed. I think like

388
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: thirty five maybe it was thirty eight percent of Josh

389
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: Allen's contract was guaranteed. Now, it's the one thing my

390
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: pushback is with quarterbacks, if you're just decent, you see

391
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: the whole thing, you know. I mean Derek Carr, remember,

392
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: signed a seventy five million dollar contract. True guaranteed, but

393
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: it was like a hundred and thirty million dollars. He's

394
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: seen every penny, right, Patrick Mahomes so far has seen

395
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: every penny. All these quarterbacks has signed these contracts. See

396
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, remember when he signed eighty five million dollars originally.

397
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: Well he's only signed extension since, but he's seen every penny.

398
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott will see every penny. So, unless you're just

399
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: an absolute scrub, and most guys are not that signed

400
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: that second contract, the guaranteed money actually is the real

401
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: contract because they're not gonna cut you, they're not gonna

402
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: move on. Look at out Ryan, like Matt Ryan is

403
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: seeing every penny of his contract. But the point is

404
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: that you have to put it into s grow and

405
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: it makes it very complicated for owners. And I was

406
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: watching I've talked about this F one. I'm not a

407
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: big racing guy. I don't watch I definitely don't watch NASCAR,

408
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: and I don't watch the F one series, though I

409
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: did like a couple of weeks ago, a couple of apps.

410
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: It's just kind of bores me. And to each his own,

411
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 1: I understand it's booming in this in this country. Ratings

412
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: are up, they have that new Uh They're gonna do

413
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: a race in Las Vegas. I think next year it

414
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: looks badass. I would go to that, but I'm just

415
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: not that into it now. Part of it is I

416
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: don't I think the dramas a little overrated. The same

417
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: two or three guys win every fucking race. Lewis Hamilton's

418
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: won like seven years in a row, like even in golf,

419
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: and like the peak of Tiger's power, he didn't win

420
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: the Masters every single year. You know, it's like the

421
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: same three guys are podium. But the show on Netflix

422
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: is fantastic. It is awesome, and this fourth season is great.

423
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: And the episode I just watched maybe a couple of

424
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: days ago, was about I didn't even know these people existed.

425
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: They're called Williams Racing. And if you're listening to this,

426
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, F one, you're like middlecolf. What are you

427
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: talking about? Williams Racing. I guess it's been around for

428
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: a long time. But they're like a mom and pop shop, right,

429
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: going up against Mercedes, going up against Ferrari, going up

430
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: against Red Bull, and they suck. I mean, they can't

431
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: even compete now. I just they lost their driver. I

432
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: think officially this year he went to Mercedes. He's like

433
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: Louis's second guy. I guess he's not, you know, he's

434
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,479
Speaker 1: technically mercedes second guy. I mean Louis, he's just Louis's partner.

435
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: But this mom and pop shop has been passed. They

436
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: used to dominate back in the day, but as money grew,

437
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: the business changed and they can't financially compete. They do

438
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: not have the resources. And Jimmy has them. You know,

439
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: whether made his money in the stock market after investing

440
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: all the trucker's money. Who knows, but it's done some

441
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: shady ship. He comes for family money. They got a

442
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: lot of cash, has the money to cut an enormous

443
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: check and put it in s grow and he did

444
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: that for de Shaun Watson. But there are two quarterbacks

445
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: coming down a pipe. The just wonder because ultimately, contracts

446
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: are a lot like real estate. It's all based on

447
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: precedent and the president like in real estate, is based

448
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: on like what did the house next to you or

449
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: down the block cell for in the last month or

450
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Right with contracts is based on

451
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: previous years, like well, this guy got this last year,

452
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: the cop the salary cap is bigger this year. I

453
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: amowed that plus a little bit more. Right, Well, that

454
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: makes it really complicated because the Cincinnati Bengals have this

455
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: guy named Joe Burrow who's going into his third year,

456
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: and the almost said the San Diego Chargers, the Los

457
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers have this guy named Justin Herbert, also going

458
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: into his third year. Well, if you look at recent

459
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: precedent on the top young quarterbacks Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes

460
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: and even DeShawn Watson, they got huge contract extensions after

461
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: their third season in the league, So you would go, well, definitely,

462
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, you would want to extend him immediately, and

463
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: same thing with Justin Herbert. Well, here's the main issue

464
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. Before the Raiders moved to Vegas, it

465
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: was the Raiders in Oakland and Cincinnati Bengals were the poorest.

466
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: At someone that was involved with the league used to

467
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: be like, they're basically the welfare recipients because they don't

468
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: make any money outside of football. And before like, obviously

469
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders have really benefited from going to Vegas. They

470
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: have a new revenue stream. I've been to the Bengal Stadium.

471
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: It stinks, it's awful. Well, Mike Brown doesn't have any

472
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: of these revenue sources. Now. The best part about two

473
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: thousand twenty two is the NFL gives you so much

474
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: money from the TV that if you're smart with your money,

475
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: you can accumulate a lot of cash just by getting

476
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: the yearly three million dollar check. But the reason that

477
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys have so much money because

478
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: they have their team's money and then they have their

479
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: outside businesses money. So they're getting revenue from all these

480
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: different angles. Well, teams, the Chargers are notoriously cheap, which

481
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: I would say in Erie. The spanos Is who have

482
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: real estate all up and down California should have some cash.

483
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, they don't spend it all. I

484
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: would know if I represented Joe Burrow or I represented

485
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: Zended Justin Herbert, but definitely Joe Burrow, You're gonna have

486
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: an argument because in the second year he took him

487
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: to the freaking Super Bowl. You go, yeah, you know,

488
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need a contract exactly like Deshaun Watson, and

489
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: I'd hang up. And I remember hearing stories about Tom

490
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: Condon with Peyton Manning. He'd be like, yeah, that's her

491
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: final offer that This would be Tom Condon talking, and

492
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: Bill Polian would scream like, how am I supposed to

493
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: build the team, and Tom Condon would basically say, I

494
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: don't give a fuck. That is the number click. He

495
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: did it with Drew Brees, he did it with Eli's

496
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: like most of his clients in the two thousand definitely

497
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: the late two thousand's or early two thousand tents are

498
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: the richest guys in league history. Guy was a killer.

499
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: He was like Scott Bores of baseball, but with the

500
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: NFL quarterbacks, and I think he got to operate like that.

501
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: Now given that the Watson contract, so I would imagine

502
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: the people that are mad or I been Dean Spanos

503
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: a few sus No one loves his savings account quite

504
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: like Dean Spanos, and Mike Brown just doesn't have the money.

505
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: Now he's gained a lot of money, I would imagine

506
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: the last three or four years if he's just done,

507
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: if he's just been smart with the cash. But there's

508
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: no way to prepare for signing a guy to two

509
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: Huord thirty two or fifty million dollars fully guaranteed, because

510
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: that means you have to have all that cash to

511
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: put in the scrow account. Now, there have been a

512
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: lot of talks, and Peter King has talked about this.

513
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: I think people around the league have pushed because this

514
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: was this rule was put into place. I think it

515
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: might have been the late sixties early seventies when the

516
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: NFL did not have the cash flow uh that it

517
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: definitely does now, right. They did this as a mechanism

518
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: to protect everybody because so you couldn't sign a contract

519
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: that you ultimately couldn't afford, and the union really fought

520
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: for it, like you wouldn't need to do this now.

521
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: But this rule is basically it's like the constitution ors whatever.

522
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why they haven't ripped it up but

523
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: they haven't, and it's it's going to very very soon

524
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: impact to me. I'm looking at these two teams. To me,

525
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Chargers had to be the most

526
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 1: rattled by that Deshaun Watson contract. If you haven't had

527
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: a chance winning time. I wanted to hate it because

528
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: it's the It's the show on HBO about the Lakers

529
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: in the late seventies early eighties, and they did. I've

530
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: met Jerry West a couple of times. When I worked

531
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: in radio. I used to go to Warriors games all

532
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: the time. I went to probably thirty games the two

533
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: years before Kevin Durant. They were such a fun team.

534
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: It was like just an absolute circus. It was a

535
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: badass event to go to. And at the time, Jerry

536
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: West works for the Warriors. His son works for the

537
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: Warriors then still does. Uh. Johnny West who's actually married

538
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: to Michelle Wee who's now Michelle we West so and

539
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: Jerry West met him a couple of times. I was

540
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: he didn't know me from him, went up to him

541
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: just bullshit it. He was cool as ship, nice guy

542
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: and I mean just dressed to the nines, always looks sweet.

543
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: This show makes him look like a complete nut job.

544
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: So that kind of pisces me off. And I hate

545
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: the Lakers, but I am offended for Jerry West, the

546
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: other guy that I respect a lot as pat Riley.

547
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: To meet pat Riley. When I think pat Riley, I

548
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: just think one of the coolest guys ever to walk

549
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: the planet, right like Mr g Q, slick back hair

550
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: l a New York Miami. They make him seem like

551
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: a complete loser. But the show is awesome. I mean,

552
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: the casting is perfect. The dude they got playing Jerry

553
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: West is John c Riley is doing a great job.

554
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: But and I heard Colin talk about the show, and

555
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: he's right. It's really more of a business show than

556
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: it is about like basketball, though it's kind of got

557
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: into basketball in the last episode of SOOL SO, But

558
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: it was, you know, pro sports in the seventies. There

559
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: wasn't that much money involved a lot of these guys,

560
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: and this is why you get teams for so cheap.

561
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: These were these ventures were losing money, which obviously hasn't

562
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: been the case the last several decades because of the

563
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: TV contracts, but at the time it was a complete disaster.

564
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: But to me, it got me thinking about the Lakers

565
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: this year, which I did the math. If they were

566
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: an NFL team, they would be six and eleven. There

567
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: was one six and eleven team in two thousand twenty

568
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: one in the NFL. It was the Chicago Bears, the

569
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: only team to go six and eleven. They were the

570
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: only team with that record. A lot of seven win teams,

571
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: a lot of five win teams. The only six win

572
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: team was the Bears. Every single human got fired. So

573
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: the Lakers are complete joke. But they're the hype coming

574
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: in right Lebron James, Anthony Davis. And then they trade

575
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: for Russell Westbrook was stupid. It was like, you know,

576
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna compete to win the title again, and it

577
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: was like I was hoping that wasn't true, but I

578
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: was like, I wouldn't bet against him, even though I

579
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: think Russell Westbrook stinks. But regardless, I thought it would

580
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: work a lot better than it has. It's been an

581
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: utter disaster. They're gonna miss the playoffs, which is awesome.

582
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I love it, every second of it. But

583
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: my point is, when you and I've been saying this

584
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: for a while at the a f C West, all

585
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: these teams are getting hyped up Laker level everyone that

586
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: talks about it, and I'm guilty too. Is this the

587
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: greatest division we've ever seen? And on paper it might be.

588
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: All these teams every team is a quarterback. I mean

589
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,239
Speaker 1: two of the teams have Hall of Fame quarterbacks, right,

590
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Russell Wilson. Herbert is a Hall of Fame talent,

591
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr is like a top twelve quarterback. And

592
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: then all these teams have studs everywhere. Now, I've been

593
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: saying over and over I will not bet against the Chiefs. Now,

594
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Chiefs are a lock to

595
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: win the division. They may take a little step back,

596
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: but that just means they're not a one or two seed.

597
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: There'll be a six seed, right, But so okay, Denver,

598
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers or the Raiders. One of those teams, let's

599
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: say wins the division. There is gonna be a team.

600
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: And like, even if three of the four teams make

601
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs, let's say it's the Chiefs, the Broncos, and

602
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders, well, Brent Staley and the Chargers missed the playoffs,

603
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: or let's flip flop the Chargers and the Raiders. Josh

604
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: McDaniels in year one missed the else after trading for

605
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, whoever missed the playoffs, and they might not

606
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: go six and eleven, right, they might not be as

607
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: shitty as the Lebron James and Anthony Davis Lakers, because

608
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: they are terrible. I mean, just a gutless group, hard

609
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: to watch, no defense, absolute joke again, loving every second

610
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: of it. But one of these teams is gonna go

611
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: win seven or eight games. Hell, they might win nine games,

612
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: and that's missing the playoffs, and that is gonna feel

613
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: like a complete disaster, because I'm telling you now, do

614
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: you think the hype is big in March? In April?

615
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: Wait till training camp like I would imagine, I've already said,

616
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: I think Sunday night or Monday Night. I saw Peter

617
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: Keying wrote that he thinks that it's gonna be Rams

618
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: Broncos week one Thursday night, Uh, come out the gates,

619
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: like that be the opening game at so far Russell

620
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: Wilson play the Rams. I think it's a borderline lock

621
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: that either Sunday Night football or Monday night football that

622
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: we get an a f C Wetch West matchup. I

623
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: think you go Raiders, Chiefs. You go Raiders, Chargers, you

624
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: go Chief Chargers. You can put one of those on

625
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: Sunday or Monday night because forever Sunday Night Football Alan Chris,

626
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: I guess Al's gone. Now it'll be Tarko. And Chris

627
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: was always Giants Eagles or Cowboys Giants or Cowboys Eagles

628
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: like the kickoff on Sunday Night football. And I understood why.

629
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I worked and lived in Philly, big markets,

630
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: huge television ratings, cash cow for the league. Well, I

631
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 1: think the division kind of sucks. I mean, the Giants

632
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: are a joke. The football team is a clown show.

633
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: Right now, I guess you'd go Eagles Cowboys, but those

634
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: games last year weren't very good. At least the one

635
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: game when they both tried, the Eagles got blown out.

636
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: I think there's a decent chance you go an f

637
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: C West Sunday Night Football and you just go Chief Chargers.

638
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: Mahomes Herbert just blow it out Week one. So the

639
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: hype on this division is enormous and it's only going

640
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: to get bigger the closer we get to the season.

641
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you someone is not going to live

642
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: up to the hype. Now, I don't think it's gonna

643
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: be a disaster less there's a major injury, Like, no

644
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: one's gonna win four or five games, but winning going

645
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: eight nine, when every team is gonna feel like we

646
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: we should win the division is gonna feel like a disaster.

647
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: And uh, before we get in a couple of NFL stories.

648
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: I touched on this a little bit last week, but

649
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: I was really thinking about the boom of the NFL

650
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: and the money and the the auxiliary extra peripheral around

651
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: the outside of the NFL. Like, obviously the owners have

652
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: made a ton, the players have never made more. The coach,

653
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean all the head coaches. I think the lowest

654
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: paid head coats in the NFL makes like five and

655
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: a half million dollars. I would imagine the average head

656
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: coaching salary is like eight or nine. We have several

657
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: guys making twelve to fifteen. Belichick makes like every single coordinator,

658
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: Every single coordinator in the sport of football makes seven figures,

659
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: every single one offensive or defensive. I don't know if

660
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: every special teams coordinator does, but a lot of special

661
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: teams coordinators makes seven figures. So the amount of money

662
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: that the NFL is producing just inside the business has

663
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: never been higher. But think about outside the business. The

664
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: number one news breaker that covers the sport is now

665
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: worth ten million dollars. And let's face it, Schefter turned

666
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: down money to stay at ESPN. Some of these gambling

667
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: companies easily would have paid him two more money to

668
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: go to them. And I read some quotes that he

669
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: said in Peter King's article, was like, you know, I

670
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 1: just this was almost like this was the easier route.

671
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: I felt comfortable doing this. It was a lot of money,

672
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: and I just know what I'm getting if I go to,

673
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, one of these gambling companies. I work at MGM,

674
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: I go work at FanDuel or draft Kings. Who knows, right,

675
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: you just don't know what my role is. I know

676
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: at ESPN, they're gonna feed me stories. I'm making ten

677
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: million dollars. He's making ten million dollars a year to

678
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: just break that the Eagles traded for the Saints. I mean,

679
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: it's and he's the best in the business. But think

680
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: about what that the reflection of that to the business.

681
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: I see it with radio there, like a local radio,

682
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: everyone's taking pay cuts. Where I live. The business is

683
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: going under, like your business either growing or it's dying.

684
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: You're either going up or you're going down. You know,

685
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: Like I think about I can make a living basically

686
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: talking about football as a podcaster. Well, if I was

687
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: a former baseball scout, I could not do this. It

688
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't exist. People would not listen. I don't even think

689
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: I can pull it off. I was basketball, I would

690
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: probably have to go work for one of these entities

691
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: because only people that prop up the NBA at that

692
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: level is like, you gotta be partners with them, so

693
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: you really value it. Yet in football, and think how

694
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: many NFL podcast there are, how many NFL websites there are,

695
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: Think how many people can earn a living just talking

696
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: about the sport. It truly is incredible. ESPN paid thirty

697
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: three million dollars a year for their two guys to

698
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 1: call Monday Night Football. I I say it all the time.

699
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: Drew Goodell his greatest attribute. The media hates him. They

700
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 1: hate business, so yeah, of course they're gonna hate him.

701
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: The business under his watch has fucking exploded. And it

702
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: was good before, but it's gone to completely different heights.

703
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: It's lapped every other sport. And I know this, I

704
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: have directly benefited directly, and uh, I'm just glad, and listen,

705
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: I say this all the time. This is not gonna

706
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: last forever. I mean the NFL, because I was watching

707
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: some highlights on YouTube the other day of the Yankees

708
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: playing Seattle, and and they brought Randy Johnson, the big unit,

709
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: out of the pen, and Edgar Martinez hit this double

710
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: down the line and Griffy scored from first and they

711
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: won in Game five of the divisional series, and the

712
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: and the Mariners went on to the ALCS. And I

713
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: remember watching the highlights. I remember watching that game at

714
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: my house and Davis with my mom in the living

715
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: room and thinking like, this is incredible. I think Kim

716
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: Griffey Jr. Was as big as any star. Baseball was

717
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: on top. Baseball was a powerhouse. And then at the

718
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: same time, Michael Jordan, the NBA felt like the NFL.

719
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: And really, for the last couple of decades, the NFL

720
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: is just separated from Wall and is now on its

721
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: own tier. That just things are cyclical. It doesn't stay

722
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: on top forever. Now it doesn't feel like it's changing

723
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: anytime soon. But you don't just you don't just stay

724
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: on scholarship. That's not at work, so I'm gonna enjoy this.

725
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: Uh And obviously Schefter and those guys are really enjoying it.

726
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: But man, the NFL is just making a lot of

727
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: people a lot of money a couple of quick NFL stories,

728
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Bruce Arians thing. It feels like a

729
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: lot of people close to Bruce are really pushing back

730
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: about the conspiracy theories that Tom backstabbed him, Like come on, guys,

731
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: like what are we talking about? Like it's it's pretty

732
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: clear something shady happened. And Bruce had this quote that,

733
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, one thing that he if Tom hadn't come back,

734
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: he really wanted approved everyone that he could win with

735
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbert. I think we're all lucky that Tom did

736
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: come back and we didn't have to see that, because ultimately,

737
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: regardless of what you think about Brady and Arian's relationship,

738
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: Bruce is a really good coach and I wouldn't have

739
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: wanted to see him embarrass himself from Blaine Gabbert, because

740
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: if Blaine Gabbert was the buck starting quarterback, they're winning

741
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 1: the best six games, and I like, listen, Blaine Gabbertt

742
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: clearly as well liked in an NFL for an office

743
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: is like him, the teammates like him. There is something

744
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: to be said about having a backup that everyone likes,

745
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: but the moment that guy has to play, you're fucked.

746
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: And they avoided that because Tom's back, and he just

747
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 1: can go back to his role as a backup Tom's

748
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: buddy game planner, because that's ultimately what a what a

749
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: backup quarterback does. He helps the offensive coordinator and the

750
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: quarterback game plan throughout the week, and he adds some

751
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: some looseness to the room, makes people laugh. I'm just

752
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,959
Speaker 1: kind of a hangout buddy. But he doesn't have to play.

753
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: It's not like your backup defensive lineman. They rotate in

754
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: your third wide receiver. He catches football's right, your backup

755
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: tight end, plays your backup running back. Some games he

756
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: might get fifteen carries. Your backup quarterback literally might not

757
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: take a snap the entire season, And last I checked,

758
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't think Tom Brady's ever missed a snap as

759
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: a Tampa Bay buccaneer. So glad we didn't have to

760
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: see that one guy. It's gonna keep being polarizing his

761
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: Cavon Thibodeaux. The polarization is coming. You know, he said

762
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: he had his pro day last week. And the thing

763
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: that pisses him off the most is that he thinks

764
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: he's the number one player in the draft. And I've

765
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: just talked to enough people that aren't that big of

766
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: fans of his game in terms of being a top

767
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: five player. I hear stiff, you know, when you can't

768
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: bend as an outside pass rusher and your whole game

769
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: is just like, he's really long, and he is an

770
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: explosive athlete, but when you can't bend, like most of

771
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: the best pass rushers in the league as outside pass rushers,

772
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: Myles Garrett, khalil Mack when he was younger, Nick Bosa,

773
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: for sure, they all can bend. Von Miller forever can

774
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: J J. Watt when he was when he was healthy,

775
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: they could turn the corner. And if you can't turn

776
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 1: the corner, and you're what they call him the business

777
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: death or tight you know, and ultimately came on is

778
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: not just bul rushing every single player. Now. One knock

779
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: on him is he doesn't have that many moves. Clil

780
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: Mac didn't have that any moves when he came in

781
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: to the league. Like you can learn that, you know,

782
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: in the forty Niners defensive line coach probably makes a

783
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. Some of the best the line

784
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: coaches in the league are paid a premium. That's what

785
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: they get paid to do. Teach you moves, you know,

786
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: to add some just some just just some areas where

787
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: you have just a couple of different pitches. So to me,

788
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: he can improve that. But I think people question just

789
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: his high end game. And I'm telling you he is

790
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the most polarizing players leading up

791
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: to the draft, and he's a guy that he might

792
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: go in the top five. It wouldn't shock me if

793
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: he went fifth, and it wouldn't shock me if he

794
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: went or let's say twelve to fifteen range. So by

795
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: four of all the guys that are considered to have

796
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: a chance to go really high, to me, he has

797
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: the chain us to also go the lowest, which is

798
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: fascinating because he's been, you know, definitely one of the

799
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: most famous players out West for the last three years.

800
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: Because he was the top recruit in the country. You know,

801
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: he could have gone to Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, like, he

802
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: could have gone anywhere he wanted, and he chose to

803
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: go to a pac twelve school and he was their

804
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: best player for the last several years and they were

805
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: a good team. But to me, it's the NFL people

806
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: that I know are just I would say on the

807
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: fence when considering like a top top flight prospect. Uh. Last,

808
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: but not least, I just want to tip my hat

809
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: to Frank Gore, who officially I think retired. Over the weekend,

810
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: he'll sign a one day contract with the forty Niners.

811
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 1: And when I think Frank Gore, I think the total package. Uh.

812
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: He literally could do everything as a running back. And

813
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: that can't be said for even guys that were better

814
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: players than him, like Adrian Peterson was a better running

815
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: back than Frank Gore. Adrian Peterson did not want a

816
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: pass block. He refused the pass block, which is ironic

817
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: because Adrian Peterson was six to two fifteen twenty like

818
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson's was big, wasn't into it. Sae Kwon Barkley

819
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: before he got hurt. Elite player hated pass blocking. Frank

820
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: Gore took pride in pass blocking. There was nothing he

821
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: couldn't do as a running back. He could run inside,

822
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: he could run outside, he could protect the quarterback. As

823
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: a blocker and he could really catch the football. Now,

824
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: he wasn't the flashiest, he wasn't the sexiest, but he

825
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: was a winning player. And nobody loved Frank Gore more

826
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: than Jim Harbaugh. And when Jim Harbaugh showed up forty,

827
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: he wrote that guy like Secretariat. They had a great

828
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: run blocking offensive line, and they ran the ball down

829
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: people's throats and thoroughly enjoyed Frank Gore's career. I thoroughly

830
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: enjoyed watching him play. I also think he's a great

831
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: story and like so many NFL players, a lot of

832
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: people didn't think he could play in the NFL because

833
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: he had multiple knee injuries in college. I think he

834
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: was medically red flagged by a lot of people coming

835
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 1: out and he goes in the third round. He has,

836
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, borderline Hall of Fame career, and he's one

837
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 1: of those guys that, like I think sometimes like on

838
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: social media and definitely the media, they always love pushing

839
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: like have be ballanced, be balanced, do a lot of

840
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: different things. I like people that go all in on

841
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: one thing because I think the most talented people are

842
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: addicted to whatever they're all in on, and that's usually

843
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: a type person that has the most success, right, Tiger

844
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: Woods addicted to golf, Tom Brady's addicted to football. Frank

845
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: Gore was addicted to football. Why didn't he quit? He

846
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: loved playing. Now, granted he could still play, but this

847
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: was a guy who was all in a football And

848
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: you'll see this coming out over the next month before

849
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: we get to the draft. Is like teams get turned

850
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: off when you have other interests, not because you're not

851
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: allowed to do other things. But historically, most of the

852
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: best players in football, most of the guys in the

853
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame loved football, I mean loved it. They

854
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: had a deep passion for it. They thought about it

855
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: all the time. It means a lot to him. It's

856
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: hard to be a great football player. It's probably hard

857
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: to be great at most things in life if truly,

858
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: deep down, deep inside you, you don't love it like

859
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 1: and you don't think about It's not like not thinking

860
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: about it till the next day at nine am, Like

861
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a problem. You will not be good

862
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: at most things that that's your mindset. And I know

863
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: Frank Gore was just a football junkie and played basically

864
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: until the wheels fell off and It was just an

865
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:24,360

876
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: to do. Listening to the Monday Pod, I think Serena

877
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: Williams is another athlete that is bigger than their sport.

878
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: Michael Phelps maybe too. What say you? I actually think

879
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, my dad worked for this

880
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: big farmer and they used to have a lot of

881
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: athletes come by because, uh, they just had a couple

882
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: of former pros that like worked in the business and

883
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: just and this one guy's son was dating Chris Everett.

884
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there have been some massive women's tennis players

885
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: before Serena, right, Chris Everett, Martina Navratolova, obviously Serena, but

886
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: watching King Richard one thing, Venus was a bigger deal

887
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: than Serena's. Like when I was in high school, Venus

888
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: was the star, and then Serena was also a star.

889
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: But Venus was better, and then she got banged up

890
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: in Serena know went on to have the greatest career ever.

891
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: But I would say historically there have been massive, massive

892
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: women tennis players. Now Serena might be the best of

893
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: them all, but I don't know. Michael Phelps, Yeah, I

894
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: mean Leah Thomas. Probably not the pod for the Leah

895
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: Thomas take, but yeah, I would say, uh, I can't

896
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,760
Speaker 1: even help but laugh. Michael Phelps. Yeah, when he was racing,

897
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 1: he was he was bigger than than swimmers for sure.

898
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you've ever going to have an

899
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: NFL scout on just to get a different perspective of

900
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: this year's draft, especially while Cavon Thibodeaux is dropping in

901
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 1: mock drafts. Here's the problem, my friends that are scouts

902
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: on teams cannot come on the podcast unless you're the

903
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: general manager of the head coach, you're not talking during

904
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: this draft period. Offensive coordinators are not talking, Defensive coordinators

905
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: are not talking, but they talk during the season. Scouts,

906
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: like college directors, they are not allowed to do interviews.

907
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: So all of like my friends that are not general

908
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: managers could never come on this podcast before the draft.

909
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: After the draft just not allowed. Now, could I have

910
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: some g g ms on after the draft? Because before

911
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: the draft, I'm not gonna say anything, but for sure

912
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: what we will try to get some people in front

913
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: offices again general managers, because they don't allow anyone else

914
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: to talk, which makes sense, Um, you just kind of

915
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: want one voice, but it's just kind of the rule

916
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: in the league. It'd be cool, you know, if like

917
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: the college director of those type guys that I know

918
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: could come on and just bullshit and talk a little

919
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: shit and whatever. But that's not allowed, and it's just sucks.

920
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: But it's just kind of the deal. That's why I

921
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: kind of talk through them. I get my information and

922
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: I try to feed it to the people. I'm looking

923
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 1: to break into the NFL in any way possible. I'm

924
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: currently a college student at f g c U. I

925
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: think that Florida, Goth Gulf Coast, which is also known

926
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: as uh dunk City. Was that dunk City lob City

927
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: currently studying supply chains and logistics. Well, we need a

928
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: little help there. It's great and I'm a good student

929
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: with a good g p A that will probably get

930
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: plenty of lucrative job offers. Oh look at this guy,

931
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: But my heart and soul is in football. I just

932
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: want to be part of football in any way available

933
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: to me. This is a long shot of long of

934
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: long shots. But do you have anything for someone like

935
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: me to get my foot in the door for this industry.

936
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,919
Speaker 1: I'll be the hardest worker you can fathom. I am

937
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: toxic about football. I don't like that one regardless. If

938
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: you read this, just keep it up, appreciate it well.

939
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: Florida Gulf Coast. I remember when Andy Enfield took you

940
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: guys the Final four Sweet sixteen. I forget how far

941
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: you got. There were a lot of pictures of the

942
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: campus and it looked pretty awesome. I know you're in Florida.

943
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,479
Speaker 1: You have multiple teams in Florida in the NFL, so

944
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: you're clearly a smart guy. You got the world by

945
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: the balls. You're gonna have some lucrative job offers. Hell.

946
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't make any money in my twenties,

947
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: so you know, worst case scenario football doesn't work out,

948
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 1: you'll be rich. But if you want to work in football,

949
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: I would do everything possible to go take my resume

950
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins, and to the Jacksonville Jacks and

951
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You know, try to find

952
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: a way to get in front of either Jason Light,

953
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: Chris Greer, Trent Balky anyway possible. I would try to

954
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: do that. You have three teams in driving distance that's

955
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: hard to beat. So you just gotta find a way. Now,

956
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,959
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be easy and it's gonna be tough.

957
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: But you know, you're a college kid. You got time

958
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: on your hands. I mean, what are you really doing

959
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: Monday night? You're probably drinking weendy night, You're probably drinking

960
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 1: Thursday night, probably partying, right, a lot of screwing around. Now,

961
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: you seem like a good student. But here's the other thing,

962
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: and no, listen and listen, maybe it matters for some

963
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: don't know how much college g p as really matter.

964
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: I actually heard a good stat because I think the academic,

965
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, anyone with a college degree. You know, they're

966
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: the minority of society. I think three of society has

967
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: a college degree. That are you know, over five years old,

968
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: So the majority of society does not have a college degree.

969
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: I just heard that someone say that stat No kind

970
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: of blew me away because it does feel like and again,

971
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: once your college educated, feels like most of your friends

972
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: have college degrees too, but you're actually in the minority. Hell,

973
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 1: I got a couple of degrees and listen to me.

974
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: I just talk bullshit for a living. Uh long time listener.

975
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: I love everything about the show, and you are the

976
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: most relatable host out there. I'm from Texas in a

977
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: big Cowboys fan. I'm tired of the disappointment. You're in,

978
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: you're out. It feels like most Big Cowboy games fall

979
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: the same pattern. We come out slow and go down

980
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: a bunch of points, then we catch fire really late

981
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,919
Speaker 1: at East and make the score respectable. In recent memory,

982
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: this happened during the two thousand sixteen playoff game against

983
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: the Packers Dak and Zeke's Workie year, and then happened

984
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: last year against the Niners. So this has happened across

985
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: multiple coaching regimes. My question is who is the most

986
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: to blame for these shortcomings and what will it take

987
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to finally make an appearance in the

988
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game. Also, Chili Peppers came up in a

989
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: recent episode and was wondering if you had any thoughts

990
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: on the new album they just released personally loving it.

991
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, Honestly, I've never I haven't heard it.

992
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know that Chili Peppers came out with the

993
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: new album, to be honest with you, um, but I was.

994
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of their their work in the

995
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: nineties and even you know, whatever the album was they

996
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: put out in No. Six, But I I have not

997
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: listened to any of their new stuff. I don't know

998
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: if there's a rhyme or reason why you fell behind

999
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: in both those two playoff games. I think you just

1000
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: have for whatever reason. The Cowboys when they were in

1001
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 1: their peak in the nineties, which is a long freaking

1002
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: time ago. I mean, hell there for Super Bowl ninety two.

1003
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: I mean it's thirty years ago. They were tough. They

1004
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: were tough, and they were physical, Like I watched this

1005
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys team like Mica Parsons is, but they're a past

1006
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: happy offense now because Zeke's not very good. And their defense,

1007
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, I mean they lost Randy Gregory. Their defense

1008
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: actually had moments last year. They obviously picked you know

1009
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: what's his name, had you know, twenty five interceptions and

1010
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: you can say he got burned a lot. But when

1011
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: you when you have that many interceptions, that means you're

1012
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: creating that many turnovers. They kind of skewed them a

1013
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, it turned out I thought they

1014
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: were better than they were, and I was fooled they were.

1015
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: They were overrated because there was a softness to them

1016
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: and they lack a little mental toughness. But when you

1017
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: think about Mike McCarthy's teams, like they're not the most

1018
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: physically and mentally tough squads like one, I would say

1019
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: just outcome of him being your head coach is, you know,

1020
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: you can score some points and you can have some

1021
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 1: good records, but do you trust them in the playoffs,

1022
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: Because I do not trust Mike McCarthy in the playoffs obviously. Jerry.

1023
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: You see, Jerry, Jerry, you have a you have some

1024
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: random kid on the side. He gave her three million

1025
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: dollars a range Rover and paid for college, like Jerry,

1026
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: you're worth billions of dollars. There's this thing called the internet.

1027
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 1: She knows how much you're worth. Why didn't you if

1028
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: you wanted to avoid this one? Because she's coming back

1029
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: at you for more money. She wants more cash. Three

1030
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,760
Speaker 1: million dollars to the average person to meet you, to whoever,

1031
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: it would be a large lump sum of money. But

1032
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: if the person giving me three million dollars is also

1033
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: my father who doesn't want anything to do with me,

1034
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 1: and it's just trying to buy my silence, I'm gonna

1035
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: need a little more than three million dollars. Hell, give

1036
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: me ten million dollars in some fun that pumps me

1037
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: out five six seven percent a year. That's so every

1038
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: year I'm making five grand. So I basically I'm getting

1039
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: free five thousand dollars and I have this lump sum

1040
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: of money that's constantly adding cash because the stock market

1041
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: has grown for the last whatever couple of decades. Think

1042
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: how rich you would have been instead. Jerry went cheap.

1043
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: And when you go cheap in situations like this, it

1044
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: always comes back to bite in the ass. Now, maybe

1045
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: if he had given her fifty million dollars, she'd still

1046
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: want more very possible. But when I saw the sum

1047
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: of money, like, of course you get an arrange over

1048
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: on her sixteenth birthday, it's gonna feel like, you know,

1049
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 1: you hit the lottery. But as we age, we realize

1050
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: that doesn't do anything for us. When we're seven, I

1051
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: want cash and it's like, well, you just gave me

1052
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,439
Speaker 1: three million dollars cash back in the day, I want more.

1053
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,720
Speaker 1: And listen, I don't condone like, I'm not a big

1054
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: a proponent of like suing people for money. I'm not

1055
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: pro this girl anti Jerry in the situation. I do

1056
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: think though, when you look at the amount of money

1057
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: Jerry Peter given how much like three million dollars to Jerry,

1058
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: He's got more money in the back pocket of his levice,

1059
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, he's got more money in the center consult

1060
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: of his suburban or whatever they'll Jerry's driving Mercedes. Feels

1061
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: like Jerry would be a wouldn't be a truck guy,

1062
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,760
Speaker 1: but I definitely is an suv. Maybe it's a g wagon.

1063
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's got more money in his car

1064
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: than he does. And the money that he gave her.

1065
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: If you get to a certain threshold and you invest

1066
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: it for it'll just pump her out money and everything

1067
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: would have been fine. Jerry went cheap. You know that

1068
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: was Tiger's problem. When Tiger got cut up cheating on everyone,

1069
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: he wouldn't pay anyone off. And when he did give

1070
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: him like five thousand dollars like Tiger, they know you're

1071
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:24,720
Speaker 1: worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This is not two.

1072
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: There's this thing called the internet. Any person famous, I

1073
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: can look up and get gauge a little bit how

1074
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: much money they're worth. You gotta be smart. I do

1075
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: not understand I hate cheap people. I understand where people

1076
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: when they first get into money, if they grew up

1077
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: without money, or they grew up in a family that

1078
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: was frugal or cheap, like, have that mindset. But as

1079
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 1: you age, that reflects you. You know, if you struggle

1080
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: to take care of people that have done right by

1081
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: you or that you want to you know, you know

1082
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: you got a girlfriend that's on the side. Unless I

1083
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,399
Speaker 1: don't condone cheating on your wife, you're gonna cheating your wife.

1084
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: Just get divorced. You know half the people in America

1085
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,959
Speaker 1: get divorced. Just let go go your separate ways. Nothing

1086
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: wrong with that. You gotta cheat on your wife like

1087
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: yours comeback, and if you just want to get a

1088
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: divorced like listen, They're not gonna be easy. It could

1089
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: be ugly. But and I don't know all the details

1090
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: of Jerry, you know, surely married. Did Stephen and his

1091
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 1: his other family know about this? Who knows? But I

1092
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: do think that like Tiger, Jerry went cheap bit him

1093
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: in the ass. Huge fan of the show wanted to

1094
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: ask you, if you were the GM of the Browns,

1095
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: if you would have made the move for Watson. Clearly

1096
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: Baker had a ceiling. However, he proved he could keep

1097
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 1: the team competitive when he and the team, uh, we're

1098
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: in win mode. However, Watson will be suspended a good

1099
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: portion of the season and keep players like Landry Beckham,

1100
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: Clowney and trade or are no longer on the team.

1101
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: Wouldn't have made sense to run it back with Baker

1102
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: and use a first rounder on a white out as

1103
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: opposed to giving up so much to get an expensive player. Well,

1104
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: they were Baker was dead to them, so only they

1105
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: truly know, like why Baker was such a slap for

1106
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: us on the outside, we just know kind of what

1107
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: Chris Mortenson said, I don't have the examples, like what's

1108
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: he like every day? Is he surly? Is he not

1109
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: a happy guy? Is he not a hard worker? Do

1110
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: people not like him? Like they have those details? Now,

1111
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: when you're gonna pivot off that guy, which people pivot

1112
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: off quarterbacks all the time, when you're gonna go into

1113
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: shown my issue with have Shawn Watson, I would have

1114
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: no problem making the trade, but I'm not giving him

1115
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: that contract. I would have said David more Ghetta, his agent,

1116
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: who has got to be the most money hungry guy

1117
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: in the league. I would saying, Hey, more Ghetta, I'll

1118
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: make this trade, but you're gonna play on the fucking

1119
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: contract that you signed with the Texans worth like a

1120
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars. I'm not giving you two

1121
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars because I do not believe Dave Tepper

1122
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: said that they were not gonna do that. Arthur Blank

1123
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: was not who was going to give him that much money?

1124
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: Who were they bidding against in terms of the contract. Now,

1125
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: maybe more Ghetta would have said, we're not coming to

1126
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland because they clearly came for the money. They can

1127
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: say whatever they want. They only came for the money

1128
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: because no one else was offering him that contract. Nobody.

1129
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: So I have no problem. Let me rephrase. I understand

1130
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: trading for I do not understand cutting him the check

1131
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: and and keep signing a new contract. It's not like

1132
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: he was on his rookie deal. He had literally signed

1133
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: a massive extension with the Houston Texans. Massive. It was

1134
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: playing like thirty thirty five million dollars a year. It's like, hey, Sean,

1135
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: until you proved that, like you know, you can't have

1136
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: issues off the field, let's just play for thirty five

1137
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. I'm not giving you two hundred.

1138
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: I could not have signed off on that if I

1139
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: was a GM. Couldn't no chance, no chance. That's my issue,

1140
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: trading the picks for him, whatever, I need to upgrade

1141
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: my quarterback position, redoing the contract. How How did Deshaun

1142
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: Watson have leverage? It's got twenty two women coming after him, two,

1143
00:58:55,400 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: not one, not four, not nine, twenty two and the

1144
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: game two hundred thirty million dollars fully guaranteed. It's insane.

1145
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: It's one thing to give Josh Allen or Mahomes or hell,

1146
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: if the Ravens gave Lamar two million dollars guaranteed. I

1147
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: get it. Herbert Burrow in a couple of years. I

1148
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: get it. This guy, he literally just missed the entire season.

1149
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: Why John t tears a c L No, he was

1150
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, he had a legal matter. That's probably the

1151
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 1: biggest story off the field in the NFL. Insane. You've

1152
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: been on a heater recently, Um middlecoff content to consume.

1153
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: I keep hearing a lot of buzz about Lincoln Riley

1154
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: and USC. Not enough about Mario Cristobald down at the U.

1155
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: Look at the staff he's assembled gaddis o c from

1156
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: Michigan Broils Award winner Charlie Strong and Kevin Steele. He

1157
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: also poached the number two recruit in the nation from

1158
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: Georgia to coach the DBS or the number two recruiter.

1159
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: The administration in Miami is investing in the program for

1160
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: the first time ever. Mario is Hall of famers like

1161
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Ed Reid and Jason Taylor coaching in off the field positions.

1162
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Mario is a relentless recruiter, and the fact that he

1163
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: is a South Florida guy but also coached out West

1164
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: at Oregon will allow him to recruit nationally. Tyler Van

1165
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Dyke is the best quarterback they've had in decades. Heisman

1166
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: watch I emoji's. I think it will take a few years.

1167
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:23,959
Speaker 1: But if Mario was able to build an SEC style

1168
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: program in the a SEC, then what is the ceiling

1169
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: for the you would it be crazy to think they're

1170
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: competing for national title in the next five years. I'm

1171
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: with you, like I just I would imagine if you're

1172
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: in the South, like they talk about Mario a little bit, Um,

1173
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: I just talked more about USC because I followed Lincoln

1174
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: and my guy that started me in football works Oklahoma,

1175
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: So I've just followed Lincoln very closely. They will if

1176
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: if Mario works at the you it will not take

1177
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: five years. With the transfer portal ability to recruit. If

1178
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: Mario is the real deal, they are competing for the

1179
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: a SEC championship. I would say in less than three

1180
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 1: years they have that, they would have a chance to

1181
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: make the playoffs in and and really in two years

1182
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: they would be competitive. You know, nine ish wins this year,

1183
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: I'll give him a little bit of a pass, six

1184
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: seven wins whatever, and just make huge strides. But I'd

1185
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: say in two years they're winning nine games and by

1186
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: year three they're competing to win a national championship. That

1187
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: to me would be the true And I'd say the

1188
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: same thing for Lincoln. They not five year plans, transfer portal.

1189
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: Anyone can leave whatever they want, you know, years ago.

1190
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 1: It takes some time, not now. And Mario, you're right,

1191
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: elite recruiter, you know, a top two or three recruiter

1192
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 1: in the country. So if he's got the good coaching staff,

1193
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: now his game management a little questionable. Um, you know,

1194
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: he got just he got it worked by Kyle Whittingham twice.

1195
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Twice worked Now the second time it was clear he

1196
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: was leaving. But that's something to just kind of keep

1197
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: an eye on. Hey, bro love the pod. Can we

1198
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: admit that the NFL is after Dan Snyder? It seems

1199
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: like it's scandal after scandal after scandal, and the powers

1200
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: that be are going up. They keep swinging until it's

1201
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: something sticks. The Cheerleader photo scandal, the emails with Gruden

1202
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: and now withholding ticket revenue. Are the owners that desperate

1203
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: to get him out? Has Bezos hired a private eye

1204
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: to dig up dirt on him to force him to sell? Also,

1205
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: I started an electric company recently and put the pot

1206
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: on when it's time to grind. I appreciate that. Good luck.

1207
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: This guy's name is King Buckets taking pictures with babes.

1208
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: Good job, baby. Yeah, I don't know. Something's weird. Like

1209
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: I said, I think they want Bezos stilling the team,

1210
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: But why are they so desperate. It's not like they

1211
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: need Bezos his money. I think it's as it's less

1212
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: to do with Bezos said more. They hate Dan Snyder.

1213
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't even think that. That's not even arguable at

1214
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: this time. He has had like four scandals in twelve months.

1215
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: It's just scandal. It feels like they hate Dan Snyder

1216
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: more than the NBA for years hated what's his name,

1217
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: Donald Sterling, and they hated Donald Sterling. But they can't

1218
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: stand this guy. I don't I don't know why, you know.

1219
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, beside the stuff that you read like, I

1220
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: never met the guy. I know people that have been

1221
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: around him don't think that highly of him. This the

1222
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: craziest part about Dan Snyder. It's not like he's some

1223
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: rich kid that inherited all this money. He literally made

1224
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: it all himself. The guy was worth hundreds of millions

1225
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: of dollars in his late twenties, bought an NFL team

1226
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: by himself in his thirties. An absolute incredible business story

1227
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe if we really dove into it,

1228
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: perfect timing, right, he was the right age Internet blew up,

1229
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: kind of like Cuban, but clearly Mark Cuban's pretty high

1230
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: level guy. Now. Cubans, you know, having some trouble with

1231
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks. But I've met Mark Cuban a couple

1232
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: of times. I had him on my radio show back

1233
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: in the day. I like Mark Cuban law. I think

1234
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: Mark Hubans really smart. Dan Snyder might be smart, but

1235
01:03:56,760 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: it sure feels like he is a royal asshole. I

1236
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: used to do local sports radio in my hometown and

1237
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: appreciate your insights. I've grown up a Washington fan and

1238
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: I'll have UH and I've known is everyone I know

1239
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: is losing their mind the past twenty plus seasons? Why

1240
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: should I still be invested? Wentz Trade? Felt like a

1241
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: desperate trade owner is a joke? And are we sure

1242
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: Rivera is a great coach outside of being a culture changer.

1243
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: I love our young talent Terry Gibson, Chase Young, but

1244
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: I feel like we're just gonna develop them and see

1245
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: them go to other teams when their contracts run out

1246
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: because they want to win. Am I crazy? This is

1247
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: a big year for the football team or Commanders or

1248
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: whatever their name is. To me, I think the Cowboys

1249
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: come back to Earth a little bit. Now. The Eagles

1250
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: make this trade, they're gonna have one less first rounder,

1251
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: but they're not going away. But they you know, to me,

1252
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles ceiling with Jalen is nine ten wins, especially

1253
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: this year that schedule be a little harder. There's still

1254
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 1: a nine. Can the Washington football team compete to win

1255
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: nine ten games like with Carson Wentz, because if they're

1256
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: winning six seven games, then yeah, it's just destined to

1257
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: keep sucking. Like this is the year. Can they compete

1258
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: to just win the seventh seat? The NFC sucks. It

1259
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: has the Rams, the Bucks and he let's even just

1260
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: say the Packers because three teams, the Niners, Trey Lance,

1261
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: who knows, and even if they're they won ten games

1262
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: last year, so it's not like they won games the

1263
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals they got issues. I just if you, if you

1264
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: can't compete to make a wild card in the NFC,

1265
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: you are not very good. Just started doing a little

1266
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: online gambling on the NFL this season, and just wondering

1267
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: if you have any suggestions on NFL draft props that

1268
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: interest you. If you can get the over under Cabon

1269
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: Thibodeau at like five six, I think he goes a

1270
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: little later. So if you can get decent nods of

1271
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: him going like pick seven, eight, nine, ten, that range,

1272
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty good bet. Uh. You know,

1273
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: I would imagine four or five wide receivers go in

1274
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 1: the first round. That's a pretty easy one. A bunch

1275
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: of edge rushers. I haven't looked at the props yet,

1276
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 1: but that'll that'll be something worth talking about as we

1277
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: get closer to the draft. Okay, we'll get you out

1278
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 1: of there on that one. Appreciate everyone listening. Have a

1279
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: good week. We'll have the golf pod tomorrow. Tiger Woods,

1280
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: who's fred Couple says he's looking good. Freddy Couple says

1281
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: he's looking good. I'll talk to everyone soon. In peace.

1282
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: The volume
