<v Speaker 2>Welcome in episode one sixty seven, What's right with Nick Wright?

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I am flying solo today and next week Do your

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.599
<v Speaker 2>Will also be out, but my wife will be in

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 2>for her next week. Do your Will then be back

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 2>in a week and a half. But today it is

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 2>just me and we have some breaking news via a

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>flame throwing interview from Sean Payton to get to Aaron

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers taking a pay cut. All of that, plus we

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 2>have talked you about Jalen Brown and Justin Herbert's big

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 2>new money extensions. But first, what we're not getting into

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 2>NFL preseason amazingly just one week away last night, the

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 2>US women's national team got a hard fought draw with

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 2>the Netherlands. Not ideal, and I lose my wager that

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I got really good odds. But I bet the US

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 2>women's national team to run the table to go undefeated

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 2>in the tournament. Obviously, to win the tournament they have

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>to go undefeat in the knockout stage, but it also

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>meant they had to go three to zero in the

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 2>group stage. They will not with the tie against Netherlands,

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 2>but they should be fine. And Burrow confident that Cincinnati

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 2>keeps everyone. They won't t Higgins. This will be his

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>last year on the team, but hey, you go win

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl this year and your fun and it's

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 2>worth it. You don't win the Super Bowl this year,

0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna wish you had traded them for a first

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 2>round pick, as you could of this offseason. But the

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 2>latest news in the NFL is the are we you

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>know what? I screwed this up? Possibly? I thought we

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>were gonna start with the Aaron Rodgers news. We will

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>get to the Aaron Rodgers news in just a moment.

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>We will start with the Justin Herbert news. My apologies

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 2>there on the Aaron Rodgers thing. I teased it, and

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 2>we're not starting with it, but we will get to it.

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Justin Herbert is the new highest paid player in the

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>NFL five years, two hundred and sixty two point five

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 2>million dollars. And there is some pushback because he is

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>getting this money before having ever won a playoff game,

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 2>and I understand that, but they also had to pay him.

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.679
<v Speaker 2>So here's the thing. All of the other quarterbacks who

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 2>have gotten huge money deals right after the rookie deal

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 2>under the new Twist salary structure, all of those guys

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>had won a playoff game except for Kyler, and I

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 2>think they're gonna regret that and Carson Wentz. But Wentz

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>was in a unique spot because he had played well

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>enough to where his team was positioned for the number

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>one seed. They then ended up winning the Super Bowl.

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>He obviously wasn't playing because he was hurt. But Wentz

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 2>also that deal didn't work out. But Deshaun Lamar held,

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Jones obviously, Mahomes, Jared Goff had been to a

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl. Go up and down the list. Joe Burrow

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 2>had been to a Super Bowl. He hasn't gotten his

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 2>money yet, but he's about to to a not won

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 2>a playoff game, he didn't get the big money deal. Now,

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Justin Herbert is an objectively excellent player, but there is

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 2>still the yeah but of We've seen him play in

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>one playoff game and one de facto playoff game, and

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't great in either spot. The playoff game, when

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers had a chance to win the game outright,

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 2>essentially to go up by five scores at the end

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>of the first half against the Jags, he missed a

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>couple of big throws. He then wasn't great in the

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>second half and they blow a twenty seven point lead.

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 2>The de facto playoff game was Week eighteen of the

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>year before, and that was when they were playing the

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Raiders and the famous if there's a tie, they both

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 2>go to the playoffs. Now, if you watched that game,

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 2>the last half of the fourth quarter he played perfect football,

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.799
<v Speaker 2>but the time leading up to that he struggled mightily,

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 2>which is why they needed him to played great in

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 2>the latter half of the fourth quarter. Then they end

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 2>up losing in overtime. This is a deal the Chargers

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>had to do. It's undeniable. But now Justin Herbert, who

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 2>was so great as a rookie and really sensational in

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>year two two, and then last year took a bit

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>of a step back. You can say it was the

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.919
<v Speaker 2>injuries on the team. You can say it was the

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.359
<v Speaker 2>cracked ribs. Whatever it was, took a bit of a

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 2>step back. It's now not about the cannon of an

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 2>arm or the raw arm talent or any of that.

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:23.159
<v Speaker 2>It is more about the actual are you going to

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 2>take the next step? Because in the AFC you have

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:35.679
<v Speaker 2>these eight quarterbacks that are all vying for the argument

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.359
<v Speaker 2>of where am I in the hierarchy? So you have

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not gonna listen him in order, I'm just

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna go off the top of my head by divisions.

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 2>You have Allen, Rogers and Tua. In the AFC East,

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:55.840
<v Speaker 2>you have Burrow and Lamar, and some people would throw

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 2>into Shaun Watson. I wouldn't. But in the AFC North

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>you Trevor Lawrence in the AFC South, and then you

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 2>obviously have Mahomes and Herbert in the AFC West, and

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>again some would throw in Russell Wilson. I won't. That's

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 2>eight guys, all of which, at various times of their

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 2>career have looked like great quarterbacks for Tua. It's the

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 2>smallest sample, but he was playing so great earlier last

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 2>year before the injuries. You're in a weird spot in

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 2>the AFC right now where you can be a really

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>good quarterback and average in your conference. So they need

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Herbert undeniably to take that next step forward. Maybe Kellen Moore.

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 2>He will do it with Kellen Moore. But this is

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 2>a massive year for him because after this year, when

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 2>this contract really starts to kick in, it gets so

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 2>much harder for them to build a winner, and you're

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 2>not going to be able to have Mac and Bosa.

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 2>They just drafted Quentin Johnson number one with their number

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>one pick, which I love that pick for them, but

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna have Mike Williams and Keenan Allen and

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 2>him long term. So you probably have as much talent

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 2>around you as you ever will right now if you're

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers. So it's a big spot and they're now

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>paying him like he is a top five quarterback in football.

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>He obviously has top five quarterback talent, he has not

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>quite delivered top five quarterback results. We'll see if he

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>does all right next. Sean Payton talked to USA today

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 2>and absolutely torched, I mean torched the previous regime in Denver.

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 2>He said, quote, it might have been one of the

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 2>worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. I'll

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>read you the full quote. Everybody's got a little stink

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>on their hands. It's not just Russell, who was a

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 2>poor offensive line might have been one of the worst

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 2>coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. That's how

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>bad it was. He also took a shot at the Jets.

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna read you that quote from the article, where

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>the full quote is. It doesn't happen often where an

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>NFL team or organization gets embarrassed. That happened here. Part

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>of it was their own fault relative to spending so

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 2>much time trying to win the offseason, the pr pomp, circumstance,

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.239
<v Speaker 2>marching people around and all this stuff. We're not doing

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 2>any of that. The Jets did that this year. You

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>watch hard Knocks, all of it. I can see it coming.

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 2>And so he's taken a preemptive shot at the Jets.

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 2>He took a retroactive shot at Nat Hackett and the

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>entire Broncos coaching staff, all in service of maybe partially

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 2>his ego, but also in Russell Wilson defense. Guys, I

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 2>watched every single snap Russell Wilson played last year. I

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 2>also watched him his last year in Seattle. This was

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 2>before he got in the NAT hacket business. This was

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 2>a clearly declining player and last year. There's a great

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:28.080
<v Speaker 2>tweet from Warren Sharp today that I don't know if

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Warren was defending Russ, but Warren puts up the video

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 2>of how embarrassing it was when the Broncos fans were

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 2>counting down the play clock for the Broncos so they

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 2>would stop getting delay of game penalties. And it's a

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 2>three play cut and this we're I'm actually gonna do

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 2>something with this on the TV show today to show

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 2>it to you. But I'll just walk you through it,

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, through my words. Here it's a three play

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 2>cut of the play clock winding down and you hear

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>the fans in Denver going three two one so they

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 2>don't get a delay of game. And it does show

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.839
<v Speaker 2>what a mess the process and the coaching was there.

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 2>But what if you watch the full forty five second cut,

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't end right when the ball is snapped. They

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:31.080
<v Speaker 2>show the three plays and they are three cartoonishly awful

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>plays by Russell Wilson after the ball is snapped, And

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>so Sean Payton in this article also says. The article

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 2>starts with quote, I'm gonna be pissed off if it

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 2>is not a playoff team. We'll be ready to be

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 2>pissed off, Sean. And the fact of the matter is,

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I just listed, when talking about Justin Herbert, eight AFC

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks didn't even I didn't even consider including Russell Wilson

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:09.319
<v Speaker 2>in that group. Nine and ten would probably be DeShawn

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 2>And you would hope Russell Wilson last year he was

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 2>not one of the top twenty five quarterbacks in football.

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Will he bounce back a little? Sure? Will he bounce

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 2>back enough that they are going to be able to

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:34.079
<v Speaker 2>overcome the fact that his five year, two hundred and

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 2>forty five million dollar contract does not even start until

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:51.199
<v Speaker 2>next season. No, they will not. And Sean Payton, the

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>level of cock sureness that he is displaying here I

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 2>think could bite him in a real way. Again, I

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 2>think he's a very good coach. I also think, you know,

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm seemingly the only person that remembers this or cares

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 2>about this, But Michael Thomas, remember when Michael Thomas was,

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, one of the best players in the league,

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 2>set the record for receptions in a season. All of that,

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 2>and then week one of the following season, the the

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Saints were playing the Bucks and blowing them out, and

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Sean Payton wanted to run up the score and with

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 2>like a minute and a half left near the goal line,

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 2>had Michael Thomas in the game and he got rolled

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.959
<v Speaker 2>up on and suffered a high ankle sprain that three

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 2>years later he has not recovered from. That was Sean

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Payton's ego getting a little bit of the best of him,

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>and this interview I do not think is gonna do

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 2>himself any favors. And you never a head coach, certainly

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>an active usually even a retired head coach take shots

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 2>at another coach this way. So I'm sure the Jets

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 2>they have set themselves up where the opening month of

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:21.239
<v Speaker 2>the season for Denver's nice Vegas, Washington, Miami's tough than Chicago.

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.119
<v Speaker 2>But now all of a sudden with them taking preemptive

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 2>shots at the Jets, when their next six games are

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 2>the Jets, the Chiefs, the Packers, the Chiefs again, Buffalo

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota season could go off the rails on them in

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 2>a real quick hurry before we get to November. And

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>so I'm not a believer in the Broncos. I wasn't

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 2>a believer in Nat Hackett. I was adamant about that

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 2>all year last year. But he was not the only problem.

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, Next, so the Celtics have signed Jalen Brown

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 2>to the biggest contract in NBA history. Our resident Celtics

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 2>fan Demonse sends in a question from Los Angeles, Demonse,

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 2>go right ahead, what's up? What's right? Crew, listeners?

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 3>I saw that a couple of Boston Celtics fans did

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 3>not agree with my take on putting a left handed

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 3>turnover clause in Jalen Brown's new contract. I'm here to

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 3>tell you that I one hundred percent stand on that.

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I still think that they should.

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, something isn't working with this Jason Tatum and Jalen

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Brown duo. We keep making it so far just to

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 3>squander it. It hurts me. It's annoying. I'd rather us

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 3>just be bad and know that we're bad and nothing's

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 3>to come of it. Then to have these players and

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 3>we have all the necessary tools to make it to

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 3>the finals and win a finals. But we just aren't

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 3>doing it, so I think that something needs to be

0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 3>switched up. My question for my dad and the listeners,

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 3>do you think that we took a step forward with

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 3>this Jalen Brown thing or a step backwards? In my opinion,

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 3>this is a huge step backwards. But let me know

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 3>what you guys think.

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Be so all right. Thank you to Monse, appreciate the question.

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Can't wait till you rejoin us on the pod here

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 2>at the end of August beginning of September. I I

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 2>disagree with the Monse, but he's not entirely wrong. Here's

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 2>where I disagree. You had to sign him to this deal.

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 2>You can't let him become a free agent a year

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 2>from now and walk for nothing. He is one of

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the twenty five best players in the sport. Now. Is

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 2>it an overpay? It is, but it's what it costs

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 2>to keep him, so you have to sign him to

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the deal. Do I think the Celtics are gonna win

0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 2>the title this year? I don't. I don't think Kris

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 2>STAPs is enough of a difference maker. And you don't

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 2>know if Kristap's gonna stay healthy. And when they don't,

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 2>now they're the Vegas favorites to win the time. I

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 2>think that's crazy, but they are the Vegas favorites to

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 2>win the title. But when they don't win the title,

0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 2>then all of a sudden, Jalen Brown's gonna show up

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 2>in trade rumors again. That's just what's gonna happen. He

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 2>can't be traded now for twelve months, but if they

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 2>don't win the title, to show up in trade rumors again.

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 2>The thing is this, Jalen Brown is good enough to

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 2>be the second best player on a champion. Jalen Brown

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 2>is also not like Jason the problem for the Celtics.

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to make sure I'm clear with my words here.

0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Tatum is better than Brown. That's undeniable. Brown is good

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 2>enough to be the second best player on a champion.

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Tatum is not good enough to be the best player

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 2>on a champion. Nick, that's unfair. No, it's not best

0:16:53.520 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 2>players on champions again. Guys, since nineteen teen eighty are

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:11.439
<v Speaker 2>the following Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Larry Bird, Moses Malone with

0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Doctor J. But Moses was the best player at that point,

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, Michael Jordan. I'm not listing every

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.480
<v Speaker 2>champion some of those guys, I am listing every champion,

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:30.200
<v Speaker 2>but the repeats were only listening him once a. Keem olajuwon,

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, put Chauncey billups over here in

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 2>this category, Dwayne Wade with Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett with

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Paul Pearson Ray Allen but kind of put him over

0:17:51.359 --> 0:18:01.200
<v Speaker 2>here in this category. Kobe Bryant, Dirk Novitzky Lebron James,

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Steph Curry, Kawhi, Leonard Yannis Jokic. So all of those

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 2>guys that I listed are top twenty all time guys

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 2>except for Chauncey who is the strong outlier, Kevin Garnett,

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 2>who is right on the fringe but had Pierce and

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.640
<v Speaker 2>ray Allen with him. You had three top seventy five

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:42.280
<v Speaker 2>all time guys in their prime, and then Kawhi, who

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 2>was pacing towards being an all timer and injuries derailed it.

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:51.679
<v Speaker 2>In this league if you and Jokic has become an

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 2>old timer. If you don't have a legend, you don't

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:02.600
<v Speaker 2>win the title. And Tatum's awesome, but he's not a legend,

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think he's going to be. Now, you'd

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 2>be like Nick, you didn't think Jokic was gonna be

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 2>that's true, so maybe you'll take a giant leap. But

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't see that happening. So the Celtics, they're in

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:21.160
<v Speaker 2>a weird spot because Brown is the movable piece and

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't trade Tatum. But if Tatum's your best player,

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 2>probably not winning the championship, just not. And so listen,

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.360
<v Speaker 2>they're the Vegas favorites. I could be wrong. I do

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:40.240
<v Speaker 2>think that they waited to sign Jalen because they don't

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 2>love They don't think the Tatum Brown fit is perfect.

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.840
<v Speaker 2>But you gotta you can't let him walk for nothing.

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 2>And he will be a movable piece even if he is,

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, will be upset that for the seventh time

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 2>in eight or for the fifth time in six years,

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.920
<v Speaker 2>he's a part of trade rumors again. All right, Next,

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.000
<v Speaker 2>talk a little col now Boys. Jerry Jones said they've

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 2>got a team that can compete for the top spot.

0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I said on TV the Eagles should be worried about

0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.040
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys. Does that mean you're leaning on the Cowboys?

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:12.719
<v Speaker 2>The producers asked me at plus six hundred to win

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 2>the NFC, I might be I'm gonna I'm not gonna

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:23.639
<v Speaker 2>give my full We're not doing our NFL preview show.

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 2>But there are a lot of things that I like

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:32.720
<v Speaker 2>about the Cowboys this year. The coaching staff take out

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.520
<v Speaker 2>the coaching staff, which I don't love. And if you're

0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 2>like me and you think the Niners quarterback situation this year,

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 2>they're not They're finally not gonna be able to overcome it.

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 2>And you think the Eagles might have a bit of

0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:53.199
<v Speaker 2>a Super Bowl hangover. Who's left in the NFC. The

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Cowboys are the best looking of the remaining teams. Talk

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.359
<v Speaker 2>more about them in a moment, And then the news

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:05.119
<v Speaker 2>from last night. Rogers seemingly I still have almost a

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 2>hard time believing this, but all of the reporting has

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:14.439
<v Speaker 2>been just flat gave up around thirty five million dollars,

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:18.479
<v Speaker 2>changed his contract to where he add more than one

0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:23.400
<v Speaker 2>hundred million guaranteed to now seventy five million guaranteed. Think

0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.520
<v Speaker 2>he had one hundred and seven million guaranteed, so it's

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:29.920
<v Speaker 2>like thirty two million he just gave back. And yes

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 2>there is some irony in you know, the sports world's

0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 2>biggest critic of Big Pharma giving Big Pharma's number one

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 2>air Woody Johnson more than thirty million dollar rebate, but

0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll leave that alone. This objectively helps the Jets. There's

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:55.639
<v Speaker 2>just there's no shots to take. There's no Yeah. But

0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:00.359
<v Speaker 2>does it maybe are the Packers waking up this morning

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:04.400
<v Speaker 2>like you gotta be efing kidding me? Maybe? Does this

0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:07.879
<v Speaker 2>make the trade for Rogers a better trade? Of course?

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Does it give the Jets a better chance to compete

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 2>for a championship over the next two years? Undeniably? Is

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.920
<v Speaker 2>it a shocking move? You don't see guy. You see

0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 2>guys restructure contracts, move money around. You don't see guys

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:28.399
<v Speaker 2>flatly give up thirty some million that has already been

0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 2>agreed to. You see guys take undermarket deals, those types

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:35.400
<v Speaker 2>of things. But this contract was signed, they owed him

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.639
<v Speaker 2>this money, he gave it back, So you've got to

0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.479
<v Speaker 2>give him credit for it, unless there comes out with

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 2>some reporting that, oh, well, actually he's gonna get the

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 2>whole thing. But that doesn't seem to be what it is.

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Tom Pelasaro initially reported it, then everyone had it after

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 2>and they have echoed it. He's flatly giving this money back,

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 2>which the Jets might try to sign Dalvin Cook. They're

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 2>bringing him in today. Hey, Craig Cartin first reported that

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.680
<v Speaker 2>now a lot of people have I it helps them,

0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:06.959
<v Speaker 2>and it helps his chances of being able to win

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a Super Bowl there, so I'll give him credit for it.

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Does it make me change my opinion that the Jets

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 2>are far over hyped? No, it does not. Does it

0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:21.720
<v Speaker 2>make me change my opinion that the Jets are at

0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:26.920
<v Speaker 2>best the seventh playoff team in the AFC and probably

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:32.680
<v Speaker 2>on the outside looking in. It doesn't, But it does

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:38.480
<v Speaker 2>help them greatly for next season in twenty twenty four,

0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 2>and it does give you real belief that he's planning

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:45.200
<v Speaker 2>on sticking around for these next two years. And we'll

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 2>see if I'm wrong about him this year. But listen,

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:50.119
<v Speaker 2>I have there are a lot of things Aaron Rodgers

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:52.119
<v Speaker 2>done over the last few years that I've been highly

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 2>critical of. This is truly putting his money where his

0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:01.919
<v Speaker 2>mouth is on trying to win a super Bowl with

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the Jets. I don't think they can do it. I

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:07.399
<v Speaker 2>don't think they're that good of a team. And I

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 2>think last year's we talked about it on Tuesday. Their

0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:15.240
<v Speaker 2>seven wins last year one was against Josh Allen, excellent win.

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 2>One was against Aaron Rodgers, very good win, and five

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:25.159
<v Speaker 2>we're against backup or third string quarterbacks, and so I

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 2>don't and they have a brutal start to the season,

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 2>and they lost six straight in last year. So I

0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:36.200
<v Speaker 2>am not a buyer on the Jets, but this move

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:39.320
<v Speaker 2>helps them, and it certainly is going to ingratiate himself

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.359
<v Speaker 2>at least temporarily to the New York media, which I

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:45.520
<v Speaker 2>think will be helpful. And I'm excited to see the

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.719
<v Speaker 2>scene on Hard Knocks where they cover it all right,

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.879

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back in episode one sixty seven. Reminder, you guys

0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 2>can throw your questions into the chat. We'll get to

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:36.679
<v Speaker 2>him in the next segment. Starting off here with a

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:40.399
<v Speaker 2>player who's not being traded, shoe A Otani. He's off

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:43.399
<v Speaker 2>the market. And by before I even get to the question,

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 2>this is the right move I said on TV two

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago today? Actually, uh that or actually was two

0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago Wednesday. So I guess fifteen days ago that

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:57.439
<v Speaker 2>the Angel shouldn't trade him. You have a guy who's

0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:01.639
<v Speaker 2>in the discussion to be the best player in the

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 2>history of the sport. You're a few games out of

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:09.640
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. You're gonna get Mike trout back, make a push,

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:12.400
<v Speaker 2>and they did. They went out and traded for Giolito

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 2>last night. Has read that this morning. They are trying.

0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:20.200
<v Speaker 2>They are buyers instead of sellers, which is what they

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:23.639
<v Speaker 2>should be. When you have this guy, and maybe you

0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 2>convince him to stay. I don't know, but you're not

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:32.520
<v Speaker 2>going to get equal return. If Otani actually might be

0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:36.040
<v Speaker 2>the best player ever, you gotta do everything you can

0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to keep him. Now, could you get equal return if

0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 2>he's leaving in a few months and you miss the playoffs, yes,

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:45.679
<v Speaker 2>but you roll those dice, try to make a playoff push,

0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:48.399
<v Speaker 2>try to convince him to stay, try to win the

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:51.920
<v Speaker 2>whole damn thing this year when Trout comes back. So,

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I think they made the right call there. I applaud

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:58.440
<v Speaker 2>them for that. But the producers wanted to know who

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 2>would get the biggest return in a hypethetical mega trade, Otani,

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Giannis or Mahomes, assuming all players are healthy and under

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 2>long term deals. The Andrews Mahomes by a wide margin,

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:24.320
<v Speaker 2>A wide margin. I if Mahomes were available, you the

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs could get Herbert Bosa, Derwin James, the three best

0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 2>players from the Chargers, and three first round picks. And

0:27:39.760 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 2>by the way, the Chiefs would say no to that,

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 2>there is not a trade you could make for fair

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 2>value for Mahomes. I'm the The Eagles could the offer

0:27:54.520 --> 0:28:04.640
<v Speaker 2>you the best three Hurts plus aj Brown and Hassan

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Reddick and three first round picks, and the Chiefs would

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:10.680
<v Speaker 2>hang up the phone. There's not a trade that could

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:14.440
<v Speaker 2>be made. There just isn't. I used to back when

0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 2>I did radio in Kansas City, and Rogers was he

0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 2>had just won the Super Bowl and was just I

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 2>think going fifteen to one that next year, entering his prime,

0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:28.119
<v Speaker 2>and the Chiefs had no quarterback, and we're about to

0:28:28.119 --> 0:28:30.600
<v Speaker 2>have the number one pick of the draft. Now this

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 2>trade is not allowable in the NFL, but I said,

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:39.120
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs should call up Green Bay, offer them the

0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:44.960
<v Speaker 2>number one pick, and have the trade actually be we

0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 2>trade you our first round pick in perpetuity as long

0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 2>as Rogers is on the roster. So it would be

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 2>it would be this is twenty eleven, I guess twelve.

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:04.480
<v Speaker 2>You get the Chiefs first round pick until Aaron Rodgers

0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 2>is no longer our quarterback. So that could be eight

0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 2>first round picks, nine first round picks, ten first round picks,

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 2>with the belief being that we're gonna be drafting near

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 2>the end of the first round. We're gonna have our quarterback.

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 2>If someone offered that to Kansas City, Kansity would say no.

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 2>If you said, you can have our first round pick

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 2>every year that Mahomes plays for us, could be twelve

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 2>first round picks. The Chiefs would say no. And they

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 2>should say no. You have the most talented player in

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the history of the sport, who, according to NFL history,

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:41.600
<v Speaker 2>is just now entering his prime. There is no trade

0:29:41.600 --> 0:29:43.360
<v Speaker 2>that could be made. All right, let's play our game.

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Likely Maybe what if Sean McVay was asked about the

0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 2>rams projected win total being six and a half, he said,

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 2>they don't believe in us. Is there actually value to

0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:58.000
<v Speaker 2>be had in betting the Rams over? It's likely the

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Rams are terrible. It's likely the Rams are one of

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 2>the five or six worst teams in football. They don't

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 2>have the depth. The Stafford injury is concerning. And listen,

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 2>they went all in on the Super Bowl. They won it.

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Credit to them. Would have been really painful if they hadn't.

0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 2>But now they're entering a long wilderness. Maybe Stafford gets

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:30.800
<v Speaker 2>traded during the season. Let me look at how the

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Rams season starts. I don't think it's a brutal schedule,

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:37.680
<v Speaker 2>but well, it's not a good start. It's not a

0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 2>brutal overall schedule, but it is a brutal beginning of

0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:46.800
<v Speaker 2>the schedule at Seattle home for the Niners, at the Bengals,

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:53.400
<v Speaker 2>at Indy home for Philly. If they start one in four,

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:57.760
<v Speaker 2>which they will, If there's a Super Bowl contending team

0:30:57.800 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 2>that suffers a quarterback injury, could you see Stafford traded? Absolutely? Absolutely,

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 2>But what if I I guess the what if would

0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 2>be what if Geno massively regresses the Niners quarterback situation's

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:21.680
<v Speaker 2>too much of a mess. And the NFC West this

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:25.719
<v Speaker 2>year is last year's NFC South and eight wins can

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 2>win you the division. But I so I guess the

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 2>what if would be the Yeah, they win a terrible division,

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 2>but I don't see that being realistic at all. All Right, next,

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:38.800
<v Speaker 2>mac Jones didn't take long This again, I'm reading from

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the producers show how great the Pats defense wasn't camp

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:44.640
<v Speaker 2>first play on seven on sevens the quarterback through an interception?

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Is this guy gonna be good or not? It's likely

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 2>that mac Jones is a top tier backup quarterback, that's

0:31:54.120 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 2>who he is, flatly. But maybe mac Jones is actually

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:06.000
<v Speaker 2>just a bottom tier starter. But what if mac Jones

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:09.920
<v Speaker 2>doesn't even make it through the season because Bailey Zappi

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 2>takes his job. There is no I'm not gonna do

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the well the coordinator's situation was so bad last year,

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 2>It was terrible last year. But Zappi, who I do

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 2>not think is some future star. The two games he played,

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:30.200
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots offense looks good, looked good. Mac Jones is petulant,

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:34.160
<v Speaker 2>He's immature. He's the only quarterback in the league history

0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:37.600
<v Speaker 2>to be marked a dirty player for what he has

0:32:37.720 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 2>tried to do post turnover with the gator rolling and

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 2>sliding with his cleats up. That was kind of a

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 2>brady thing. But the ankle twisting, I know, I just

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna believe in him. I don't think he's good.

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:53.080
<v Speaker 2>And I talked about him way too much on the

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 2>TV show because a wild so not getting into it now.

0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Jones. Tiki Barber said Daniel Jones would get top

0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:03.920
<v Speaker 2>five quarterback Demons probably agrees. What do you think, Well,

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:11.720
<v Speaker 2>it's likely that Daniel Jones is exactly who smart people think.

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 2>He is a good athlete with strong limitations as a

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 2>quarterback who will put a ceiling on your team as

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:27.680
<v Speaker 2>long as he's your starter. That's the most likely that

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 2>he tops out tops out at the sixteenth best quarterback

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:39.400
<v Speaker 2>in football. But maybe it's likely Daniel Jones is Dan Jones.

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:46.960
<v Speaker 2>That's right, But maybe the Giants truly lean into his athleticism,

0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 2>try to turn him into a very poor poor man's

0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Cam Newton, lean on the running and win that way,

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 2>and the what if is what if they open up

0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 2>the offense this year to see what he can be,

0:34:08.840 --> 0:34:11.640
<v Speaker 2>which they should have done via the franchise tag. Instead,

0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 2>they gave him the long term deal, and you realize

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 2>you've invested four years, one hundred and sixty million dollars

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 2>into a bad quarterback. So I understand the Daniel Jones

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:30.879
<v Speaker 2>folks were taking a bit of a victory lap after

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:34.840
<v Speaker 2>last year. I understand. No, no, no, it's not the

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 2>what if. Demonse was right, it's what if that he's

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 2>that the Giants realize they're screwed because demons likes Daniel Jones.

0:34:43.080 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 2>I've never I give him credit. He stopped fumbling the

0:34:47.600 --> 0:34:51.480
<v Speaker 2>ball and he didn't throw picks last year, but it's

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:54.120
<v Speaker 2>because it was a training wheels offense asking him to

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 2>do as little as possible, where he threw fifteen total

0:34:57.760 --> 0:35:02.080
<v Speaker 2>touchdown passes. I'm just not even in it. Just I'll

0:35:02.120 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 2>die on that hill, but I'm not gonna die on

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:06.799
<v Speaker 2>the hill, all right. To brock Purty, brock Purdy has

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:09.640
<v Speaker 2>been given the all clear. They'll continue to follow the

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:12.759
<v Speaker 2>original return playing Shanahan said when he does return, he'll

0:35:12.760 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 2>be with the starters. Will perty be able to recapture

0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 2>his rookie year magic. It's likely Brock Purdy is a

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:24.000
<v Speaker 2>slightly worse version than he was last year. More film

0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.920
<v Speaker 2>on him, suffered a major injury to his throwing arm,

0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:34.879
<v Speaker 2>already had athletic limitations. Maybe Purdy becomes an all time

0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Cinderella story in this league. Maybe Purdy builds on last year,

0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:43.440
<v Speaker 2>is even better, and the Niners do have their quarterback

0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 2>of the future. What if, though, Brock Purdy has to

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:53.719
<v Speaker 2>miss time and Trey Lance, who this team gave three

0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:57.279
<v Speaker 2>first round picks for, has never really played, and they've

0:35:57.320 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 2>seemingly already given up on. What if Trey Lance ends

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:03.279
<v Speaker 2>up being the guy they thought he was when they

0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:07.560
<v Speaker 2>drafted him, and the Niners are awesome. I think the Niners'

0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:12.279
<v Speaker 2>only hope of being awesome is if Trey Lance plays. Now.

0:36:12.320 --> 0:36:16.080
<v Speaker 2>It's possible Trey Lance is terrible. The Niners seem to

0:36:16.120 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 2>think he's terrible. I don't. We haven't seen enough from

0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:23.760
<v Speaker 2>him in actual football games to determine that. His rookie season,

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 2>he played a game and a half, played well in

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:27.799
<v Speaker 2>one of them. His second year, he played his first

0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:31.279
<v Speaker 2>game in a torential downpour in Chicago looked bad and

0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:33.719
<v Speaker 2>then broke his leg a couple snaps into Game two.

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:40.120
<v Speaker 2>But that athleticism in the Shanahan offense would be deadly

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 2>and I'd be interested to see it all right. Next,

0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Travis Kelce has a crush on Taylor Swift. She wouldn't

0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:50.600
<v Speaker 2>see him before or after the show. He really wanted

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:52.719
<v Speaker 2>to give her a friendship bracelet. He said this on

0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 2>his great podcast New Heights, which I should be a

0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:58.240
<v Speaker 2>guest on. Come on, Travis and Jason, make that happen.

0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:01.359
<v Speaker 2>If they get together break up, there'red one hundred percent

0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:04.319
<v Speaker 2>be a song about Travis. What will happen here? It's

0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:08.759
<v Speaker 2>likely and I love Travis, you guys know that, But

0:37:08.880 --> 0:37:12.319
<v Speaker 2>it's likely. The Taylor Swift is I guess too big

0:37:12.360 --> 0:37:17.279
<v Speaker 2>of a celebrity for Travis. I guess if she snubbed him.

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I listen, we need Diora here for this segment. I

0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:23.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know a ton about Taylor Swift. I know she's

0:37:24.280 --> 0:37:27.560
<v Speaker 2>like neck and neck with Beyonce for the biggest star

0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:31.200
<v Speaker 2>in the world on the musical scene. So maybe she's

0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:35.080
<v Speaker 2>too big time, or's likely she's too big time. Maybe

0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:40.799
<v Speaker 2>she hears about this and is gonna be like, oh

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:43.479
<v Speaker 2>my god, I love him. I didn't know he's trunn

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:45.600
<v Speaker 2>to even be a friendship bracelet, and it starts a

0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:51.400
<v Speaker 2>beautiful relationship. What if Taylor Swift just made the bulletin

0:37:51.440 --> 0:37:54.400
<v Speaker 2>board for the Chiefs bulletin board on the TV show

0:37:54.600 --> 0:37:58.440
<v Speaker 2>be watching today to find out? And then, lastly, what

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:02.879
<v Speaker 2>our great executive producer Matt Ford wanted the entire show

0:38:02.920 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 2>to be about aliens? According to a congressional hearing from yesterday,

0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:13.879
<v Speaker 2>aliens are real. Multiple whistleblowers said the US found non

0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 2>human biological pilots on UFOs. Shortly thereafter, our producer met

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:23.879
<v Speaker 2>freaked out, what does this mean for the world? All Right,

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:32.920
<v Speaker 2>it's likely, in my opinion, that aliens exist but have

0:38:33.120 --> 0:38:37.719
<v Speaker 2>not visited Earth, despite this congressional hearing. I was all

0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 2>in on the congressional hearing, and then I heard one

0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:42.719
<v Speaker 2>of the people testifying who was like, well, as I've

0:38:42.719 --> 0:38:47.080
<v Speaker 2>explained on my previous interviews on News Nation, I was like, yikes,

0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about that. It's likely they exist, but

0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:56.600
<v Speaker 2>we haven't had any contact. Maybe these people are telling

0:38:56.640 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the truth. We have had contact and and we're trying

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:06.400
<v Speaker 2>to deal with it on a governmental level, but haven't

0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:09.839
<v Speaker 2>figured out the right way to do it. The what

0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:19.760
<v Speaker 2>if is the scariest to me, which is, what if

0:39:20.040 --> 0:39:26.760
<v Speaker 2>it's everything they're saying is true. They give us even

0:39:26.840 --> 0:39:34.840
<v Speaker 2>more public evidence that it's true, and America collectively shrugs.

0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:44.799
<v Speaker 2>That scares me more than any of it, because, you know,

0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:49.600
<v Speaker 2>dating back to Hell Independence Day, Great Will Smith movie,

0:39:50.200 --> 0:39:56.680
<v Speaker 2>there was the idea of, yeah, we're polarized and somewhat broken,

0:39:56.920 --> 0:40:01.319
<v Speaker 2>and you know, there's wars and there's there's so much

0:40:01.360 --> 0:40:04.920
<v Speaker 2>partisanship and all of that, but if we ever faced

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:10.279
<v Speaker 2>a true existential threat, we would come together. I'm not

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:13.960
<v Speaker 2>sure about it. I'm not sure people would pay that

0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:17.840
<v Speaker 2>much attention, and I'm not sure people would come together.

0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:23.840
<v Speaker 2>And that's the scarier part for me, And that is

0:40:23.880 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 2>why Matt was so excited for me to talk about this.

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 2>But this is actually kind of a depressing topic for me,

0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:37.120
<v Speaker 2>because I did think the congressional hearing yesterday was pretty shocking.

0:40:38.239 --> 0:40:45.240
<v Speaker 2>And this morning I go to the New York Times

0:40:46.120 --> 0:40:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and the top of their website is about US economic recovery,

0:40:53.680 --> 0:41:00.040
<v Speaker 2>a little on inflation, then there's a Ukraine story. The

0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:03.320
<v Speaker 2>right side of the page is about thirty six hours

0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:09.200
<v Speaker 2>in Newport, Rhode Island. The Real college admission scandal. A

0:41:09.280 --> 0:41:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Pamela Paul column called Don't call Her Karen, which I

0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:16.719
<v Speaker 2>think I would. I would rather be beamed up by

0:41:16.719 --> 0:41:22.719
<v Speaker 2>the aliens than read a Christopher Roofok column about how diversity,

0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 2>equity and inclusion programs are getting in the way of education.

0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I would rather let the aliens experiment me on me

0:41:31.239 --> 0:41:37.640
<v Speaker 2>than read that one. An article about Trump's lawyers. July

0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:40.640
<v Speaker 2>is on track to be the hottest month ever. Oh yeah, hey,

0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:44.200
<v Speaker 2>hey world, how would we deal with an existential threat,

0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:48.960
<v Speaker 2>be it aliens coming down or the ocean's literally boiling?

0:41:49.239 --> 0:41:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh we eh, We're gonna do more on the heat wave,

0:41:55.760 --> 0:42:01.680
<v Speaker 2>more on colleges and legacy admissions. The US women's national

0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:05.440
<v Speaker 2>team won. How the US Supreme Court makes millions on

0:42:05.520 --> 0:42:11.760
<v Speaker 2>book deals. I'm still going a migrant labor exploitation article.

0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:18.280
<v Speaker 2>An article about Biden and the Prime Minister of Georgia,

0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Anado Resube Shonnado O'Connor, a shnado O'Connor story, something on

0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:30.280
<v Speaker 2>the Korean War. Mitch McConnell's weird thing from yesterday. Guys,

0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm still looking for the alien story on the New

0:42:33.000 --> 0:42:37.359
<v Speaker 2>York Times article What happened when fifteen of Twitter's top

0:42:37.400 --> 0:42:42.560
<v Speaker 2>celebrities joined threads? How to tell if your brain needs

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:47.040
<v Speaker 2>a break, How to stop sweating so much? All right, now,

0:42:47.040 --> 0:42:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm concerned. An article about black Wutompson Detroit in Seville,

0:42:54.040 --> 0:43:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Spain rappers come together. Where's the alien article? All right,

0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm going back up to the top and I'm doing

0:43:02.680 --> 0:43:07.920
<v Speaker 2>a control f alien zero results? Hold on? What were

0:43:07.920 --> 0:43:11.759
<v Speaker 2>they called these UAPs? Zero results? Did the all right?

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:15.719
<v Speaker 2>Maybe is the time centering it? It's all right, I

0:43:15.719 --> 0:43:20.439
<v Speaker 2>gotta go to wappo. Hold on, Washington Post. I got

0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:24.280
<v Speaker 2>it now I'm angry in a different way. Washington Post.

0:43:25.320 --> 0:43:28.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, top story. Trump needed two hundred and twenty

0:43:28.760 --> 0:43:31.320
<v Speaker 2>five million. A little known bank came to the rescue.

0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Shocker Ukraine launched his new push brisk consumer government spending.

0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Why the famed Appalachian Trail keeps getting longer and harder?

0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Opinion articles elon Harvard and legacy admissions, army recruiting, a

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:56.360
<v Speaker 2>book review, a podcast that dumbass Governor of Virginia Glenn

0:43:56.400 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 2>youngin an article about him, Mark Milly on Ukraine and

0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:07.240
<v Speaker 2>a listenable article about being immersed in hookup culture until

0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:12.160
<v Speaker 2>COVID forced me into intimacy. Okay, let's keep going. Trump

0:44:12.200 --> 0:44:16.200
<v Speaker 2>lawyers me with a special council. State siphoned away three

0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:20.359
<v Speaker 2>quarters of a billion infrastructure funds. The US Women's World Cup,

0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:26.719
<v Speaker 2>an article about the RFK stadium into the Commander's home.

0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Where's the alien coverage?

0:44:30.400 --> 0:44:30.759
<v Speaker 3>Hold on?

0:44:30.880 --> 0:44:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Latest headline? Supreme Court two thousand year old grave lungs

0:44:35.040 --> 0:44:39.600
<v Speaker 2>a female warrior, severe story. Oh here it is, God

0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:45.520
<v Speaker 2>talk it. I swear to God, this could this bit

0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:48.399
<v Speaker 2>couldn't have been better and it wasn't even a bit.

0:44:49.239 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 2>This is the headline. And again we are I read

0:44:53.400 --> 0:44:55.800
<v Speaker 2>this is where it is. It's in the latest headlines.

0:44:55.840 --> 0:44:59.920
<v Speaker 2>It's the six to one listed. Here's what it reads.

0:45:00.600 --> 0:45:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Congress asks are aliens real? Many Americans respond, man, that's

0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 2>the headline. Matt put Matt on camera. Please, Matt. I

0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:20.439
<v Speaker 2>think we're screwed, buddy, I mean I really I think

0:45:20.440 --> 0:45:24.000
<v Speaker 2>we're in trouble. And by the way, there's a bit

0:45:24.040 --> 0:45:27.000
<v Speaker 2>of the tag the tail wagging the dog here. When

0:45:27.040 --> 0:45:30.799
<v Speaker 2>the Washington Post is like, ask about aliens real? And

0:45:30.840 --> 0:45:35.239
<v Speaker 2>Americans are like, eh, who cares? Well? When you put

0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:42.000
<v Speaker 2>it on your own page, beneath a seven minute listenable

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:49.520
<v Speaker 2>article about hookup culture and an opinion article about why

0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Twitter is now called x and a podcast about the

0:45:55.120 --> 0:46:01.200
<v Speaker 2>masculinity and modern man, and a long form piece on

0:46:01.360 --> 0:46:07.160
<v Speaker 2>the expanding Appalachian Trail. Maybe America's like, it must not

0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:10.719
<v Speaker 2>be that big of a deal. The Times isn't covering it,

0:46:11.440 --> 0:46:13.399
<v Speaker 2>and the Post all right, last one and then we'll

0:46:13.440 --> 0:46:15.520
<v Speaker 2>move on. Sorry, I didn't expect to go down this

0:46:15.600 --> 0:46:19.879
<v Speaker 2>rabbit hole. Wall Street Journal, God, Wall Street Journal won't

<v Speaker 2>even let me go to their front page. If I'm

0:46:21.920 --> 0:46:25.759

0:46:25.800 --> 0:46:29.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not logged in Wall Street Journal. All right,

0:47:13.400 --> 0:47:18.040
<v Speaker 2>real trouble. Okay, answer your listener questions. Next, is I

0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:27.839
<v Speaker 2>face a bit of a existential crisis? What's right? All right?

0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:30.719
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back in episode one sixty seven, we will now

0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:34.080
<v Speaker 2>read the listener questions. Blue Whale asks how does the

0:47:34.120 --> 0:47:37.320
<v Speaker 2>alien news affect Lebron's legacy? I know you'd be a smartest,

0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:39.560
<v Speaker 2>but here's what is true. If the aliens were to

0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:43.200
<v Speaker 2>come down and take over, it would submit Lebron as

0:47:43.239 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the all time goat. Because the worry for Lebron, as

0:47:47.200 --> 0:47:50.560
<v Speaker 2>he already is the goat, is, you know, is Wimby

0:47:50.760 --> 0:47:53.680
<v Speaker 2>or someone else gonna overtake him? But if the aliens

0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:57.600
<v Speaker 2>take over and there's no more Nba, then all his

0:47:57.719 --> 0:48:00.600
<v Speaker 2>records stand. You know, in an odd one of the

0:48:00.600 --> 0:48:03.640
<v Speaker 2>few winners of an alien takeover would be Lebron James

0:48:03.760 --> 0:48:07.200
<v Speaker 2>NBA legacy. Skeeter Andrews asked if you could choose any

0:48:07.200 --> 0:48:11.840
<v Speaker 2>three quarterbacks in history to be on the new Netflix

0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Dot quarterback? Who would you choose in history? Is hard,

0:48:18.760 --> 0:48:33.600
<v Speaker 2>but I would want Year two Michael Vick mid Dynasty

0:48:35.160 --> 0:48:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Bradshaw and young Marino. You know, I was saying young Marino,

0:48:47.280 --> 0:48:49.640
<v Speaker 2>but that made me think of Steve Young. Steve Young

0:48:49.840 --> 0:48:52.239
<v Speaker 2>when he took over for Montana would probably be a

0:48:52.239 --> 0:49:00.160
<v Speaker 2>good one too, But young Vic, dynastic Bradshaw, and and

0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I think young Marino. I wonder if there's any obvious

0:49:06.200 --> 0:49:10.600
<v Speaker 2>ones I'm leaving out. Warren Moon when he finally was

0:49:10.640 --> 0:49:15.759
<v Speaker 2>able to come over would be interesting from the usfl uh,

0:49:15.800 --> 0:49:20.759
<v Speaker 2>But those are my the The producers ask if Joe

0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Namath be on there. I I mean, I think I

0:49:24.040 --> 0:49:26.520
<v Speaker 2>know what was going on there. I don't. I'm not.

0:49:27.560 --> 0:49:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not that I I know that story, Gabe says

0:49:32.320 --> 0:49:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Brett Favre maybe like maybe, but I'm going like no,

0:49:41.239 --> 0:49:44.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm going with the ones I said, I think

0:49:44.920 --> 0:49:47.600
<v Speaker 2>young Marino who was doing things no one had ever

0:49:47.680 --> 0:49:55.120
<v Speaker 2>seen in the history of the league, uh dynasty, Bradshaw

0:49:55.200 --> 0:49:59.920
<v Speaker 2>with those Steelers and that era the seventies, and then

0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:01.839
<v Speaker 2>Vick right when he came, you know, a year into

0:50:01.840 --> 0:50:04.040
<v Speaker 2>the league, when he was looked like he might take over,

0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:08.239
<v Speaker 2>those would be my picks. If Aliens were to visit

0:50:08.280 --> 0:50:10.560
<v Speaker 2>and said, bring me your leader. Who are we bringing?

0:50:13.120 --> 0:50:17.840
<v Speaker 2>All right? I know that I said, we all couldn't

0:50:18.120 --> 0:50:21.320
<v Speaker 2>like nobody. You know, we're all bipartisan, we're all broken

0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:21.839
<v Speaker 2>all these things.

0:50:21.960 --> 0:50:22.399
<v Speaker 3>That's fine.

0:50:24.560 --> 0:50:28.520
<v Speaker 2>I do think that if it was like, hey, the

0:50:28.600 --> 0:50:34.359
<v Speaker 2>aliens are here and they have the ability to annihilate us.

0:50:34.719 --> 0:50:39.120
<v Speaker 2>If that's been established, you can bring us one person

0:50:40.680 --> 0:50:46.400
<v Speaker 2>to do to talk to them. I even think our

0:50:48.360 --> 0:50:52.600
<v Speaker 2>red hatters that watched the show, I even think they

0:50:52.640 --> 0:50:58.400
<v Speaker 2>would be like, can we see if Obama's available? And

0:50:58.560 --> 0:51:01.640
<v Speaker 2>even even you know, into the biggest Biden supports, be

0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:06.680
<v Speaker 2>like Joe, you can see this one out, Don and

0:51:06.760 --> 0:51:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Ron and you folks, you guys talk amongst yourselves. Let's

0:51:12.080 --> 0:51:16.239
<v Speaker 2>just see if Barrock's got some free time. I think

0:51:16.280 --> 0:51:19.520
<v Speaker 2>he's That's the answer if we're being you know, if

0:51:19.840 --> 0:51:27.520
<v Speaker 2>if world annihilation is on the line, here cutlass ass

0:51:28.000 --> 0:51:31.600
<v Speaker 2>anyone else think demons looks like Jordan Poole. He's gotten

0:51:31.640 --> 0:51:33.720
<v Speaker 2>that before and I've talked to him about it. Also

0:51:33.800 --> 0:51:36.399
<v Speaker 2>played like Jordan Poole had a lot of the same

0:51:36.440 --> 0:51:39.439
<v Speaker 2>frustrations as Jordan Poole didn't get punched in the face

0:51:39.480 --> 0:51:43.200
<v Speaker 2>by a teammate. Though, like Jordan Poole, hat on a

0:51:43.239 --> 0:51:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Fox asked you were forcing into a career change, and

0:51:45.960 --> 0:51:48.600
<v Speaker 2>you're shoved into the booth to call a game, to

0:51:48.880 --> 0:51:52.799
<v Speaker 2>commentary for a specific sport and team. What sport would

0:51:52.800 --> 0:51:55.880
<v Speaker 2>it be in for what team? Listen? It's one of

0:51:55.920 --> 0:51:59.480
<v Speaker 2>my I hope to do it at some point career

0:51:59.640 --> 0:52:03.480
<v Speaker 2>goal is I really really would like to be the

0:52:03.480 --> 0:52:08.080
<v Speaker 2>third person in a booth for the NFL or the NBA.

0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:10.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I have any real shot of it

0:52:10.760 --> 0:52:13.680
<v Speaker 2>happening with the NFL. I think it could happen with

0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:20.600
<v Speaker 2>the NBA, but add I think the way we go

0:52:20.760 --> 0:52:27.160
<v Speaker 2>to the refs experts for the NFL, we could use

0:52:28.480 --> 0:52:33.320
<v Speaker 2>an analytical expert why they're doing this? Was that punt

0:52:33.360 --> 0:52:37.520
<v Speaker 2>the right decision? It kind of cut through it rather

0:52:37.560 --> 0:52:40.120
<v Speaker 2>than just saying ah the analytics said and then throw

0:52:40.160 --> 0:52:42.640
<v Speaker 2>it out. That would be for the NFL and for

0:52:42.719 --> 0:52:49.640
<v Speaker 2>the NBA. There's a lot of interesting strategic things that

0:52:49.760 --> 0:52:54.560
<v Speaker 2>have to do with time and score and fouls and

0:52:54.680 --> 0:53:00.200
<v Speaker 2>things that I feel like get glossed over in in

0:53:00.239 --> 0:53:02.520
<v Speaker 2>the regular broadcast that I'd be really good at and

0:53:02.520 --> 0:53:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I've always wanted to do it. When I was a

0:53:04.440 --> 0:53:07.080
<v Speaker 2>little kid. Actually that was my dream job was NBA

0:53:07.160 --> 0:53:09.759
<v Speaker 2>color commentator because I didn't realize you had to be

0:53:09.800 --> 0:53:12.080
<v Speaker 2>a basically had to be a former player or coach.

0:53:12.520 --> 0:53:14.279
<v Speaker 2>But I mean that's what it would be, and I

0:53:14.360 --> 0:53:15.920
<v Speaker 2>hope to be able to do at least one of those.

0:53:15.960 --> 0:53:20.360
<v Speaker 2>One day. Chico forty two says Imbape is reportedly going

0:53:20.440 --> 0:53:23.799
<v Speaker 2>to turn down three quarters of a billion dollars. What

0:53:23.840 --> 0:53:26.560
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't you do for three quarters of a billion? Well,

0:53:27.000 --> 0:53:30.880
<v Speaker 2>it's less what wouldn't I do? That's the it's a

0:53:30.880 --> 0:53:34.400
<v Speaker 2>weird spot for Imbape because he's already making hundreds of millions,

0:53:34.400 --> 0:53:36.360
<v Speaker 2>so you got to look at it on that level.

0:53:37.040 --> 0:53:45.160
<v Speaker 2>But if let's say, because Lebron and Jannis and Draymond

0:53:45.200 --> 0:53:48.640
<v Speaker 2>all seemingly joked about going to play in that Saudi

0:53:48.680 --> 0:53:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Arabian league, if they ever if they got a league,

0:53:52.239 --> 0:53:53.799
<v Speaker 2>or if they set it up and offered him that

0:53:53.840 --> 0:53:58.560
<v Speaker 2>type of money. If you're asking me, if they were

0:53:58.640 --> 0:54:06.040
<v Speaker 2>to be offering five x my salary to go over

0:54:06.080 --> 0:54:11.040
<v Speaker 2>there and in English obviously be a color commentator for

0:54:11.080 --> 0:54:15.799
<v Speaker 2>a Saudi Arabian basketball league, would I do it? It

0:54:15.800 --> 0:54:18.200
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be an instant no, And I hope people will

0:54:18.239 --> 0:54:19.959
<v Speaker 2>judge me for that or whatever. That's why I stayed

0:54:19.960 --> 0:54:22.799
<v Speaker 2>out of the lib golf controversy. I think, yeah, you

0:54:22.840 --> 0:54:25.520
<v Speaker 2>offer me five x my salary for a couple of years.

0:54:25.760 --> 0:54:30.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not a lifetime deal. Be considered. It wouldn't be

0:54:30.760 --> 0:54:33.239
<v Speaker 2>dismissed out of hand. I'll tell you that much. All right,

0:54:33.280 --> 0:54:36.480
<v Speaker 2>today it was fun show. We have a massive TV

0:54:36.520 --> 0:54:38.680
<v Speaker 2>show scheduled for you today, so I hope you joined

0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:41.719
<v Speaker 2>us at three o'clock on FS one. We'll be back

0:54:41.760 --> 0:54:44.879
<v Speaker 2>right here on Tuesday with my wife sitting in Hope

0:54:44.920 --> 0:54:47.360
<v Speaker 2>you enjoyed the solo show. Have a great weekend, everybody,

0:54:47.360 --> 0:54:55.759
<v Speaker 2>See you guys.
