00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: the priority list. Then your two.

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: of Corrections and Omissions for around the NFL? Apparently some whoppers?

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: Uh?

47
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: In terms of misfires.

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: And we own these.

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: This is that's a great way to put it. Let's

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: start with uh the category of pronunciation. Uh the term

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: for excessive hair growth greg on unexpected areas of the body,

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: such as the face, chest, and back. Not here stute

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: it is your suit.

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 5: I mean, I just tripped over that one again and again.

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 5: I don't know why I wrote it down, and I

56
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 5: hope you haven't been trying to use the word her

57
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 5: suit to impress your friends or her stute, because that

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 5: would be wearing her suit.

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: That's only you were here on Monday, Colleen.

60
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: I was listening.

61
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: Oh you clocked it immediately.

62
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Dan told me to listen to the last episode.

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 6: I thought it was a test, so I did it.

64
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 5: To be ready for this one. Yes, to not double

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 5: up and whatnot correct, So I did my homework.

66
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm a professional, she sure is, folks. And then we

67
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: have in the department of mathematics, which I'm not taking

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: any l on this one because everyone knows where I

69
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: stand in this category. I'm leaning on the other guys.

70
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Six point five billion was in this room said to

71
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: be that extra point five was three hundred thousand wells,

72
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: the actual mark six point five billion is actually six

73
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: billion plus.

74
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: I don't I'm not. I stopped doing the equate the

75
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: work on this. I'm taking the matvell. I did a

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: Google search and probably plugged in the wrong numbers, which

77
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: is I know, Dan's like the I'm not good at

78
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: math guy, but like I belong to that club to

79
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: some degree too. That's been a historical uh, problem for myself.

80
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 6: I don't think anyone was expecting you guys to get

81
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 6: the math right.

82
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: All right, so we still don't know. Then.

83
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's this show needs I think

84
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: you're delivering those that problems.

85
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 5: I think the world can move on. The billionaires that

86
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 5: are buying this great organization soon to be great.

87
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: It's fifty million, like they've got a lot of fifty million.

88
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: That sounds more six fifty million dollars. So uh And

89
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: even to my point that I was making on the

90
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: Monday program, what are we doing? Why we adding the

91
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: point zh five because it was fifty million dollars extra

92
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: on the purchase price. That adds up. It's fair that

93
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: ain't pennies in the old give a penny, take a

94
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: penny till.

95
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 5: It's kind of a rounding error. Though, when you're buying

96
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 5: a six billion dollar team, that's insane.

97
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: That's true. Wow, that's true. Mark, How are you waving

98
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: that card in front of your face? You got the vapors.

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: I feel horrible that you should have worn the jean jacket.

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if that would have saved what's happening here,

101
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: but I am here to do my best and I will.

102
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: That's also what we are about. I don't even know

103
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.

104
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: I proceed gingerly because I know I don't want to

105
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: get on your fashion choices. You're wearing kind of a

106
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: winter coat right now, or at least a it's very late.

107
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: No, it's very late. It's very it's a light coat.

108
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 6: I just want to say that I had been scrolling

109
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 6: through Instagram after the Monday Show and I stopped dead

110
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 6: in my tracks when I saw your jacket because I

111
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 6: liked it that much.

112
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: So I was aligned.

113
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 6: And when I listened to the show, I was like,

114
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 6: oh my god, they liked it too, so's choice.

115
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 5: Now Mark's looking totally refreshed, like he just came out

116
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 5: of a shower. A woman says something nice to him,

117
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 5: and he's good.

118
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: Right, he has perked up, all right. And before we

119
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: get into part two of the Glossary, which Colleen is

120
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: one prepared for, I am on a almost an absurd level,

121
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: some say two prepared.

122
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: I've been preparing for days.

123
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: I want to check in with one other topic from

124
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: the Monday app. Wow, my new favorite guy Mike North. Okay,

125
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: Peter North of scheduling. Love this guy. Love everything about him, and.

126
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 5: You could have put this as the end. I suppose

127
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 5: that's Connie's letter though, Yeah, there you go.

128
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: I just want to say that here, let me put

129
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: it this way before I get into it, because I

130
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: know there are If you're looking for an NFL podcast

131
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: that will tell you why the swing tackle of the

132
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: Bengals is an issue because he's opening up his hips

133
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: too quickly in third down passing situations. If you were

134
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: looking for a braggy podcast where someone's clocking that cool,

135
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: go find it. But I dare you to find another

136
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: NFL podcast that is more on top of profound bulls

137
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: like this. We're all over stuff like this, like North

138
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: coming out strong and talking about the Bengals raising their

139
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: hand and saying they wanted to be on Black Friday,

140
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: not this year, but every year. Clearly that ruffled some feathers.

141
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: And then North went out and did more media.

142
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: No he didn't, and he's the best.

143
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: He was on the Adam Schefter podcast. And then just

144
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: listen to the wording here for Mike. The Jets, once

145
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: they found out they were the host team then started

146
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: to think about, Hey, is this something we could make

147
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: a permanent fixture as part of the NFL schedule. Maybe

148
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: they didn't raise their hands in February, but now that

149
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: they've been selected as the Black Friday host, I think

150
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: they might be interested in it too. Love this guy.

151
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: He's just kind of floating things out there for us

152
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: during the slow part of the year to aggregate. And

153
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: I got to say, North to the.

154
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: Moon, he's our north Star.

155
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 5: Bang now you were on.

156
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: Now you got on the Bengals for being a little

157
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: bit too volunteerish, I would say, right now, the Jets

158
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: have done apparently done the same thing.

159
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: Are you do you but listen to the listen to

160
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: the wording here. The Jets, once they found out they

161
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: were the host team, then started to think about and

162
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: then he added, maybe they didn't raise their hands in February,

163
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: but now that they've been selected, they might be interested

164
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: in it too. There's not even any proof that, according

165
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: to what Mike Noran said, that they even did that.

166
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: If you if you look at the word and you're right,

167
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: he sort of danced around, know something.

168
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 5: Are you at all concerned that Mike North, who has

169
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 5: been with the company for twenty five years, is going

170
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 5: to get called into the principal's office and maybe told like, hey,

171
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 5: maybe ixnay on the idiom. May you know, little less North,

172
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 5: a little less North, a little more. Just let the

173
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 5: schedule speak for itself.

174
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: That would be a mistake.

175
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: That would be a mistake, cause I'm saying he's adding

176
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 5: a lot of pop.

177
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if if nothing else, this is a

178
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: very boring time of year. And anyone that wants to

179
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: bring some sizzle, you know, bring out a faida plate sizzling.

180
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: Everybody gets excited when the Falda plate pops through the doors.

181
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: That's what Mike North is doing right now. So dream on,

182
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: Mike North, make that content, all right?

183
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 5: Anything else did I tell you? I I sat talking

184
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 5: groups today Mike North? You know back in the day.

185
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: Oh you yes, you shared an office.

186
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: That anecdote was.

187
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: It's a well worn anecdote. It's a good one. Though.

188
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: Did you ever go out to lunch with it?

189
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 5: No? I don't think I went out to lunch with

190
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 5: the single member of the New York office there. I

191
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 5: mean they didn't. They weren't taking lunch as they weren't

192
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 5: asking me to go to lunch occasionally.

193
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: Said you were there for like over a year, right, Well, I.

194
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 5: Would you go out and get like a hot I

195
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 5: would only get once or once or twice a week

196
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 5: in the in the office. In one of those days

197
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 5: was Sunday when basically no one was there. Uh but

198
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 5: everyone just went down and they got said they went

199
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 5: down and got street food because as good as the

200
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 5: hudder was the street food banging and right there, I

201
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 5: just get the streetmissary. Both you go back, you see

202
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 5: someone you know maybe down at the street food. Yeah,

203
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 5: you sit there. But it's a.

204
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Truth truth. All right, let's get into it. Okay, is

205
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: everyone ready? Colleen? Your nails are outrageous. Way give people tap.

206
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: I think that's the whole industry of audio files for you.

207
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: It's wild. All right, get us going. We're picking up

208
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: with the letter.

209
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 3: Sound effect right there.

210
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: And okay, So for n I went, but we already

211
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: did that on Monday.

212
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: You did not, I know, I mean just as proof.

213
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: I took notes B for Boying.

214
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, how do I scon that's correct?

215
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: Great b O I n G.

216
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 6: Okay, So Nader as in where the Bears have been,

217
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 6: but it doesn't quite feel that they are at their

218
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 6: lowest or had been at their lowest, because I think

219
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 6: there's so much optimism around all of the moves that

220
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 6: they've made. So I think the clouds are lifting this

221
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 6: off season, and I feel excited about the Bears, which

222
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 6: is kind of strange. I think that it's going to

223
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 6: be by the time training camp rolls around, maybe I

224
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 6: will be sick of this talking about them, but especially

225
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 6: with Rogers out of the division. I really love the

226
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 6: way that this Bears team is intriguing me right now.

227
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 6: Like of course, the coaching staff kind of struggled to

228
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 6: find an identity out of the gate last year, and

229
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 6: they didn't have any pass catchers for justin fields. But

230
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 6: I love them bringing in DJ Moore, they finally have

231
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 6: a number one guy for justin fields. They fixed or

232
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 6: at least they addressed the offensive line, drafting Darnell right

233
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 6: have a new face at right guard to and then

234
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 6: the defense bring in the Eds. Happy about that, TJ

235
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 6: Edwards and Tremaine Edmonds. I mean, I just think you're

236
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 6: making that you guys have EDGs in your famis in their.

237
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: Good and bring a little heat himself, little sizzle, that's

238
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: very true. Oh absolutely, Let's fly.

239
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's one of the youngest rosters in the league,

240
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: so that I.

241
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: Finally found a show that you should listen to.

242
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: You know what, the Bears are you the Deer and

243
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: is for Deer.

244
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 3: I am a little concerned because it was about a

245
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: year ago at this time that I recall you deeply

246
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 3: hyping up the Indianapolis Cups apocalyptic. But I I think

247
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 3: the thing you have that you're completely right about is

248
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: the Bears on offense were vastly entertaining a year ago.

249
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: Minus all these parts, they already were doing it because

250
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: of the quarterbacks. So it's like I I the only

251
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 3: thing that stands out to me is like there, if

252
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: they really thrive, probably their offensive coordinator gets yanked out

253
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: for a head coaching job and you're stuck with one

254
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: of these defensive minded coaches and Mattiebraflus, who's the most

255
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: To me, I just don't understand who is this pot

256
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: I'm waiting. It's kind of how I felt about like

257
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor a couple of years ago until you learn

258
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if he's the guy to

259
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: do it, but like, uh, why not? The Bears are

260
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: far more interesting than they've ever been. During the run

261
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: of the show.

262
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 5: Iber Flus was absolutely the coach one of the coaches

263
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 5: that Travis Kelsey when he went through and was like,

264
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 5: who's that. That guy's in the NFL that the coaches

265
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 5: are my biggest concern. You mentioned you know, maybe their

266
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 5: offensive coordinator gets plucked. That would be a great problem.

267
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 5: I don't know what I'm getting in Luke Getzy. He

268
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 5: was a first time play caller. Last year. They weren't

269
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 5: They weren't great. They didn't have a lot of talent,

270
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 5: but they weren't great defense. They were terrible. And I

271
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 5: think you're right, they've hit them the deer. I think

272
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 5: there's a reason to be excited better of I love

273
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 5: that Chase Claypool instead of trying to be a savior,

274
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 5: is like a three, and I kind of like Tyler

275
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 5: Scott their fourth round pick gotta getting in the mix

276
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 5: is a nice four. And you have Cole Kmet So

277
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 5: now you know, maybe Chase Claypool is your three or

278
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 5: your four behind DJ Mood, behind Mooney. The offensive line

279
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 5: is definitely better. It's more of the defense that I'm

280
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 5: concerned about. Upfront, they're not great and ibra Flus didn't

281
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 5: show anything. I'd like to see a little bit of

282
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 5: schematic advantage if you're a defensive coach and they were

283
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 5: the worst defensive league, and Bears fans will say, oh,

284
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 5: they had no talents like some other teams had no

285
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 5: talent too, and they were closer to okay, So I

286
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 5: like them, But I think two things can be true.

287
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 5: They're getting better, they're more exciting, and I don't like

288
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 5: the fact that they have the same over underwin total

289
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 5: as the Packers and only one less than the Vikings.

290
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 5: I don't see those three as close. You got to

291
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: show it to me a little bit.

292
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: I think they are. And I'm with you cause I've

293
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: talked about this and I talked about it with Adam Rank,

294
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: a huge Bears fan, on his Bears podcast, that they

295
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: do check all the boxes for a team that's going

296
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: to make a big jump and potentially contend in that division,

297
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: which is much as everyone's gassing up the Lions. Would

298
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: shock you. If that's a very tight division December with

299
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: no team running away with it, it would not shock

300
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: me at all. If that said, are they maybe the

301
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: fools gold pick for the team where everyone says they're

302
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: going to be better because you do need the defense

303
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: to figure out something and be more competitive, and then

304
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: you are putting a lot on Justin Fields, a quarterback

305
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: who's dynamic and exciting but has had some issues with

306
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: injuries himself and as a passer. There's still room for growth.

307
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: I love that they have added weapons. I love that

308
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: Fields will enter a season healthier with a better offensive line.

309
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: But there are there is a way, and you don't

310
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: have to squint that this doesn't work out, And coaching

311
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: is part of it too. There's a concern there.

312
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 6: I need Eberflus to have some type of like spicy

313
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 6: fun fact that drops this summer during training camp.

314
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: We need that.

315
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just need.

316
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 6: I need a little more personality out of him, and

317
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 6: then maybe I'll.

318
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: Be more of a believer.

319
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: Some texture, spicy, if you're spicy, spicy, stay spicy.

320
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 5: For the most part, they call him Flus his friends

321
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 5: pretty good. That's okay. My thing is like, if they

322
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 5: get to seven wins, that's more than doubling their win total.

323
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 5: That'd be to me a big It's going from three

324
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 5: to seven. That'd be a big jump. But you still

325
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 5: be on the under and you still you know.

326
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is going to be my adults.

327
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: Don't let it in.

328
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: Don't let it came from the cold.

329
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's concerns here.

330
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: Conye, don't let doubt creep in.

331
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 5: He hit the definitely hit they hit them the deer,

332
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 5: though you can't say they didn't.

333
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: And I do love they open the season at home

334
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: against a Packers team in transition. Big Week one is

335
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: big for everybody for the Bears. If they can get

336
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: out a Week one with a big performance and everyone's

337
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: fields lights it up and DJ Moore has one hundred

338
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: and twenty yards receiving, man, they could set you out

339
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,479
Speaker 1: a trajectory.

340
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 5: They did beat the forty nine ers. You look at

341
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 5: a Week one, you know, we have a pianol of.

342
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 3: Glass here and there's there's a like a school group

343
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 3: watching us, and I feel like I'm about to faint.

344
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: So I hope that happens in front of a school group.

345
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: Is it Chrissie Stapleton? Is it Inglewood High School?

346
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 5: Yeah?

347
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: They're they're they're here in the building and they just

348
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: want to take a look at you, Mark specifically.

349
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: On field trip.

350
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: This is why Marcus sweating.

351
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: This would be a bad episode to faint if like

352
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: fourteenth school children saw you, Why is that change their lives?

353
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 5: Why is that man in the parka so much.

354
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: I'm having a weird day.

355
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: Oh is for overkill? Actually, you know, let me do

356
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: this overkill?

357
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: M okay?

358
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: This according to Awful Announcing. I like that site. I

359
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: read that site a fair bit.

360
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 5: Old school blog.

361
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Back in the day, Jim Nance, here's the

362
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: headline says he and Tony Romo could call nine Kansas

363
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: City Chiefs games this season. Here's the quote from Nance.

364
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: This is what it used to be like packing the

365
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Brady Belichick days. Phil and I would do eight or

366
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: nine Patriots games a year. I want to say to

367
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: that is that the right way to use your number

368
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: one team. Is there a case to be made that

369
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: you don't essentially make the Chiefs and whoever they're playing

370
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: the focus of your your top one team, not just

371
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: your top announcers, but also your top production team and

372
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: all that. Is there a better case to be made

373
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: for spreading it out, Connie and give them. Of course,

374
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: you're gonna cover plenty of Chiefs, but you want to

375
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: spread out your number one team across the landscape. If

376
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are as good as we always expected to

377
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs, cover all the Chiefs you want

378
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: during the AFC that side of the postseason. But let's

379
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: we don't need to do it the way we've always

380
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: done it, changing things up. The Wizard is still.

381
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 6: The Chiefs are the best team. Don't you want your

382
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 6: best team on it?

383
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 5: Really?

384
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: Though, because there's so many exciting players and teams across

385
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: the landscape. I guess how many times Mark do we

386
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: need to hear Tony Romo talk about how Patrick Mahomes

387
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: is a wizard.

388
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 3: We radar for you, absolutely, because I think it's been

389
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: seasons in a row where I feel like Tony Romo,

390
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: who's maybe literally overly critiqued in general at this point,

391
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: like let's find a little bit better like things to

392
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 3: do with our time. But like he runs out of

393
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: stuff to say about Patrick Mahomes, like we all do,

394
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 3: and it's like I don't need them to do nine

395
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 3: Chiefs games. I think also for them, it's not a

396
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 3: great exercise to do the same team over and over.

397
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 3: I I just feel slight exhaustion when it's the same

398
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: subject matter.

399
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: We wonder why and again Tony Romo seems bored these

400
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: days because he's doing the same thing. It's ground dog

401
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: day in that booth.

402
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 5: I mean, I hear you. But if you're picking different

403
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 5: games just so that your guy making thirty million dollars

404
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 5: a year doesn't get bored, that's too much. He's not

405
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 5: making three. It's like, how about just be a pro?

406
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: How about us? Though? As the as the fans, don't

407
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: you want to hear? You have other guys in the

408
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: booth that maybe you'd like to hear what their thoughts

409
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: are about what.

410
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 6: Sure, but nobody's going to be more prepared to talk

411
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 6: about the Chiefs than the guys who are only covering

412
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 6: the Chiefs pretty much.

413
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 5: I agree too. And when you're when you're when you're

414
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 5: a patriot, when they when it was Sims and Nance

415
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 5: for all those games, there's an absolute fatigue for the fan.

416
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 5: It's like I heard Phil Simms's, Bill Belichick's stories so

417
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 5: many times that after a certain point, you're right.

418
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you run you run out of content.

419
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 3: Right in the course of one season where they're doing

420
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 3: nine games, there's gonna be a week where they do

421
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: that back to back at something.

422
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, how many times did you hear Romo last season?

423
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: Got like, Jim, I can't believe it. Mahomes about of

424
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: things to say. Well, then find someone who has something

425
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: to say.

426
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 5: Right when it's when it's the Bills, when it's Bengals.

427
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: Late in the editor's note, he never said that.

428
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 5: I do love that they set those the Bills in

429
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 5: Bengals games up in December for the Chiefs because to me,

430
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 5: that is getting back to what Jim Nance is talking about,

431
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 5: whether it was Patriots, Colts, whether it was forty nine

432
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 5: Ers Cowboys in the day. To me, Bill's Bengals Chiefs.

433
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 5: That's that right now, and I want Nance and Rome

434
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 5: on those. But what you're absolutely when it's earlier in

435
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 5: the season, it's like at Vikings, they're set up for

436
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 5: a one to twenty five. Yeah, yeah, like Chargers. Let's

437
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: give that to Anvil Network or something.

438
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: Chargers is always pretty good though, that's true.

439
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 5: That's that's often the pot time.

440
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: Pee Greg all right, uh.

441
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 5: P is for the panic pivot, and that's what I

442
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 5: won't have to do today. So the panic pivot, if

443
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 5: you're a fan of the glassery going back, it's like,

444
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 5: we don't necessarily plan.

445
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: What we made like seventeen hours ago.

446
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 5: I'm just making pivot. It's what happens, you know, if

447
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 5: someone took your topic already you got to do a

448
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 5: panic pivot. Panic piv, You're got to come up with

449
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 5: a whole new way to spin that word. I'm not

450
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 5: gonna have to do the panic pivot because I'm taking

451
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 5: the Raiders who have been in the news. I wanted

452
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 5: to revisit the Raiders. To me, this was a hot top,

453
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 5: so it's a regular old pivot. I'm just I'm letting

454
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 5: the audience know what a panic pivot is.

455
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: Power pivot.

456
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 5: That's part of the glassery.

457
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: Somebody is getting someone's just been put into.

458
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 5: Okay, that's what I was looking for.

459
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted so power pivot into a panic

460
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: pivot for Sessler.

461
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 6: I thought that Elle already covered the Raiders. Though, if

462
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 6: I remember quickly from our last episode was an l I.

463
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 3: Think there's a reason to be on the Raiders peace

464
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 3: and I know where you're going with this, and this

465
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: adds some context to where we were with the writers

466
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 3: more news.

467
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 5: This happened since we talked. I also wanted to revisit

468
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 5: them because uh, Mark put them in a body bag

469
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 5: and like threw them into a river and just might

470
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 5: not have any Raiders fans left that point, got onto.

471
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: Good Morning Football. I was told this morning, that's amazing.

472
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: How about you get Good Morning Football. They use the

473
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: content from the show.

474
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 5: That's apparently, but you know what, Mark deserves a little

475
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 5: credit because I'm guessing you asked for that social clip

476
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 5: and then they see the social clip or the social

477
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 5: team put together the social clip, and then they see

478
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 5: that and then they put it on good warning.

479
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: It works autopsy full.

480
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: So they used the clip from our show on their program.

481
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: That's what I was told. I didn't I didn't witness

482
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: it with my eyes, but someone in the newsroom inform

483
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: you of that when I walked.

484
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 5: There's no reason to doubt. Don't doubt Jeremy Bergman or

485
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 5: whoever it was.

486
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: You know what it makes me feel. I want Mary

487
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: like that clip. Bring Mark on the show, all the guys.

488
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 3: That's very early in the morning. Totally fine with how

489
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: they handled it.

490
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: Season.

491
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 5: So we're revisiting the Raiders because of this DeVante Adams

492
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 5: story and another one that I'm gonna throw it, but

493
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 5: Devanta Adams had some very interesting quotes to the Ringer

494
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 5: was a really good article. It's by Marine Fader. I

495
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 5: believe it was her name. She wrote this great book

496
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 5: on Yannis too. She's she's one of the best sports

497
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 5: writers out there. So check out the whole article because

498
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 5: I think it deserves to be read in context. But

499
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 5: the part that got people's attention was him saying him

500
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 5: in the front office aren't seeing eye to eye right now,

501
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 5: that they kind of talk to him about what they

502
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 5: were gonna do with this offseason and they think the

503
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 5: route they're going is the best bet to be urgent,

504
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 5: but he doesn't quite agree with that. He said, I'm

505
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 5: gonna have to buy into this and try to be

506
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 5: as optimistic as possible. It's not what I expected to happen,

507
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 5: but it's something that's the reality. And I'm like, what

508
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 5: is he talking about exactly. I guess bringing in Jimmy

509
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 5: G that's part of it, because he's kind of a

510
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 5: deep threat, and Jimmy G's a very short thrower, a

511
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 5: dink and dunk kind of thrower. And Adams does later

512
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 5: say it depends on the style of ball we play.

513
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 5: If we play a certain brand of ball, I can

514
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 5: get Garoppolo to conform to whatever. I like that, but

515
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 5: if we use him a certain type of way, and

516
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 5: I'm reading into this the way that they're gonna use

517
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 5: him then it's gonna make us tough to maximize who

518
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 5: he should be this year compelling.

519
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: So I went and looked at, like, around these quotes,

520
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: what else was happening. And he went out of his

521
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 3: way to sort of say he doesn't know Jimmy g

522
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 3: and everyone that's come out of the woodwork to tell

523
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams he's a great leader. You're gonna love him.

524
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 3: And so it wasn't like there wasn't animosity. No, these

525
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 3: are really strong quotes, I thought, and like, the first

526
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 3: thing that came to mind, and the reason that I

527
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 3: was gonna use it for my upcoming letter, was that.

528
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 5: You're gonna have to panic pivot.

529
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: Oh he is I already told you yesterday, like I have,

530
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 3: I have contingency plans because I knew this would happen.

531
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so yeah. But I will say I think

532
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: that I could just see a world under the Josh

533
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: McDaniels system. This is my issue with the raiderstle. I

534
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 3: think Josh McDaniels is a bit of a tough guy

535
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 3: to get along with for certain players. I I wouldn't

536
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 3: be surprised if DeVante Adams is somewhere else by the

537
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 3: end of the season. I just think if it gets

538
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: if it just grows more and more cantankerous. It's like,

539
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 3: what's the long term plan with DeVante Adams?

540
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: I had this as one of mine too, so I

541
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: under totally under control. Pivot coming up later, it's.

542
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 5: A panic pretend this it was for.

543
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: W So I'm totally under control. I got so much time.

544
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: I think there are three pound the table Hall of

545
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: Fame wide receivers active right now. Uh tyreek Uh. Justin

546
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: Jefferson is obviously a little more of a projection, but

547
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: you know he's special and we know it. And Davante

548
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: and I I'm with you. I feel like right now

549
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: he made that other point. I don't know if you

550
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: said it that he was like, this isn't that whole

551
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: thing where it's like I came here to be cute

552
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: with Derek, Like, yes, that was the narrative, the dominant

553
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: storyline going in to last year, or how all these

554
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: college best friends are now playing together, Like he came

555
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: there to be on a contender and win a Super Bowl. Yeah,

556
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: and also show that he could do it without Aaron Rodgers.

557
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: He did it. He showed he could do it without

558
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. But he's not on a team that's close

559
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl, So yeah, it would it be

560
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: shocking if he was on the move. No, I don't

561
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: think she would be shocking at all. He is a

562
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: fascinating chip to dangle the trade deadline for a team

563
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: that wants to get over the hump, especially maybe a

564
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 1: team where their quarterback has a lot of familiarity with

565
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: the wide receiver and maybe they have a little bit

566
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: of a hole in their wide receiver room. You guys

567
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: could put that together. I don't know who that might be,

568
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: but it's something to watch. I agree.

569
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 6: I was kind of fascinated by the fact that he

570
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 6: said that this was the first year meeting last year

571
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 6: that he would have cared if he didn't get that

572
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 6: all pro nod, because his whole goal was to just

573
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 6: show everyone and like he was the guy and that

574
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 6: he had been overshadowed by Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay

575
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 6: all these years.

576
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 5: And he's a His friend that was quoted in the

577
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 5: article was saying like he's getting used to be in

578
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 5: the face of the franchise, which is a little different,

579
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 5: and that's probably true. Right now, he is their leader,

580
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 5: he is their best player. He's also like incredibly intelligent

581
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 5: and is good in front of a microphone, and everyone

582
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 5: respects him. But the part that I guess maybe you

583
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 5: have to give McDaniel some credit that he said that

584
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 5: they kind of involved him in these moves that they made.

585
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 5: They talk to him at least, and they don't see

586
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 5: eye to eye, but it was like it sounded like

587
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 5: what we want, which is mature adults actually talking about

588
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 5: the direction of the franchise and there's some disagreement, and

589
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 5: he's saying it in a respectful way here publicly, so

590
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 5: I don't think there's any screaming like headline or anything.

591
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: Oh, it's getting aggregated in a somewhat disrespectful way to

592
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: what he was actually saying. But that's part of it.

593
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 5: But part of it was there's this other thing out there,

594
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 5: and our coworker David Carr retweeted it yesterday, and I

595
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 5: have to admit I was not familiar with the source

596
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 5: that he retweeted. It's a man named Hondo Carpenter who

597
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 5: works for SI dot com and it's like a fan site,

598
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 5: but he is there asking questions and is part of

599
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 5: the media. Hondo Carpenter, and he says that he thinks

600
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 5: Hunter Renfro's not gonna be on this team. That he

601
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 5: thinks that something could happen post June first. And I'm thinking,

602
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 5: why would happen post June first, Like they could just

603
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 5: predate it if they wanted to cut, but that would

604
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 5: be a trade post June first. And this guy who

605
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 5: has been around the team and says, this is what

606
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 5: he's hearing, And our friend Derek David Carr is wondering, Hm,

607
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 5: maybe we can get old Hunter over to New Orleans.

608
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 5: That's why he was tweeting about it. But I see

609
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 5: it's just something to watch because Hunter Renfro would have

610
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 5: trade value. And then if like Davante knows a little

611
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 5: bit about that, maybe that informs it.

612
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 3: It's all just interesting, little thorny.

613
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: Let's take a break and then move on. All right,

614
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: we're back Mark Sessler. The panic pivot is on the

615
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: letter Q toffy toffy on a pivot all right, Uh, I.

616
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: Have a little something on the pitch steal. So Q

617
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: is for quiz me this. Why are we sleeping on

618
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: the Steelers? Why are we acting as if the Steelers

619
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: are nothing more than a side piece in the AFC,

620
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: A plant being destined to produce only dark fruit. When

621
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: the Steelers will win eleven or twelve games and ship

622
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: all memories of big Ben deep into the world of yesterday,

623
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 3: there is no more big Ben. Big Ben is days

624
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: gone by horse and Buggy. Big Ben is a texture

625
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: mill in central Oklahoma. Big Ben is a parabolic mic

626
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: along the interstate. The Steelers will win a playoff game

627
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: at the very least in middle December. Mike Tomlin will

628
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: march into a dive bar in Moon Township and buy

629
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: the entire house a cocktail of their choice. They will

630
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 3: laud him as a king. Twenty five cartons of Chinese

631
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 3: food will be brought in General Sal's Chicken, various chow mains,

632
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: platters of white rice, and then the tavern will quiet

633
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: as a young child named Wedgley stands atop the bar

634
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 3: and reads from a fortune cookie. Lucky numbers seven, twenty one,

635
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: thirty six, forty nine, fifty five Fortune animals will be

636
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: able to speak telepathically with their owners by twenty forty nine.

637
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: My Fortune Steelers twelve and five AFC title game, Oh

638
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: Seacrest out.

639
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 5: Put that on DMFB that was not your The whole thing.

640
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 5: The Fortune Pies all of it. Kyle, let's put put

641
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 5: that out on the show. Actually, mark On, I'm gonna

642
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 5: say early in the show, as early as possible.

643
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: He'll be awake, He'll be away that you're perfect for

644
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football.

645
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 6: I say, I feel strongly that the Steelers are being

646
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 6: massively overlooked.

647
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 3: You want to go telecast nine Chiefs games? I think

648
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: the Steelers when they have an off here, Mike Tomlin

649
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 3: wins nine games.

650
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: Right. I guess my my only thing was, like I

651
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: would not want to watch a ton of Steelers games

652
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: in the in the number one slot on CBS. I

653
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: don't find them. They're good sighting, you know. I also

654
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 1: don't I don't see it in this conference like a

655
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: path to twelve wins. But is Kenny Pickett a star.

656
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: In this equation? I think that we get year two

657
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 3: of Kenny Pickett. Who I mean, I thought down the

658
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: stretch because he's.

659
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: Got to be kind of like close to a young

660
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: star caliber.

661
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: Yes, I think I think he is the perfect fit

662
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 3: for Pittsburgh. He might not be somewhere else, but there's

663
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: something about the whole thing. And I thought he was

664
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: just super clutch late in games when it mattered improved

665
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 3: in November and December, and we saw improvement and it's

666
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 3: like he made Mitch Trubisky a complete memory.

667
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 6: Thinking about that Christmas Eve game against the Raiders where

668
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 6: Kenny Pickett through I think it was Pickett to Pickens

669
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 6: and you were there, Yeah, and that game was so

670
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 6: exciting and the Steeler, like the Raiders lost that game

671
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 6: twenty seven different ways. But then Kenny Pickett had some

672
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 6: juice with the offense and Najie Harris and I kind

673
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 6: of like what they have going on there. They're not

674
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 6: the most exciting team on paper, but they could be.

675
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: I like their draft. They've addressed the offensive line. We

676
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: talked about that after the draft. That get back to

677
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: being the Steelers and see if naj Harris is really

678
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: worth what you invested in him in terms of as

679
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: a producer.

680
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 5: What do you think, Greggy, I love what Mark's selling here.

681
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 5: To me. I don't know if they're going to win

682
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 5: eleven or twelve. The trick is I like all these

683
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 5: AFC North teams on paper.

684
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, where do you at twelve wins? If they rate

685
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: it can't work out the way.

686
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 5: But the over under I think might feel the strongest

687
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 5: one in the entire division would be them over eight

688
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 5: and a half. Like I, I agree that that is

689
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 5: under selling where they are in their development, that they

690
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 5: should be looked at. And I think I'll be putting

691
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 5: them in the playoffs as well. So I'm in it.

692
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: Won nine last year eight and a half. You said

693
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: loving eight and a half, I would bang the over

694
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, I think nine or ten feels right.

695
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: Twelve was a little rich. But this is the game

696
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: you play. You have to say this now and so

697
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: when it doesn't happens, but when it does, so let's

698
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: make them remember.

699
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: Just a quick look at the before we move on.

700
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: So you got Cincinnati coming off they're at eleven and

701
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: a half, a twelve win season. Uh, they're still going

702
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: to be great. The Ravens got Lamar and added to

703
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room nine and a half. We like

704
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens. The Browns. We just talked about the Browns

705
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: as a team that if Deshaun Watson bounces back at all.

706
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 5: They're nine and a half too. So they're at the

707
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 5: same level over under as the But this Craven.

708
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 3: This can't happen. See where like that we have everyone

709
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 3: in the I predict that like two of these four

710
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,479
Speaker 3: teams were talking are gonna flat line due to chaos

711
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 3: that we don't see how it.

712
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 5: Can come close though, because we mentioned it on the

713
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 5: schedule release show. They play the AFC South at a

714
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 5: division in the NFC West, which you know has got

715
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 5: a couple of good teams, but the Rams and the

716
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 5: Cardinals might not be so great.

717
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: This is going to play out very well for yet

718
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: another one seed for the Chiefs because while they get

719
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: to beat up on the Raiders and the Broncos and

720
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: torture the Chargers, I feel like the AFC East is

721
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: just so competitive they're going to cannibalize themselves a little bit.

722
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: Same thing with the AFC North, where I think ten

723
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: eleven wins probably takes that division. The South I'm not

724
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: ready to take seriously as a real entity in terms

725
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. I think that will depress the win

726
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: totals of the teams, because I do think you're right,

727
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: there's always a chance one or two of these teams tank,

728
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: But right now they all look pretty competitive with quarterbacks.

729
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 3: Well, they had a nine to ten and twelve win

730
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 3: team a year ago, so it's you know, business as usual.

731
00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, quiz me this because you could just slide it.

732
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: You slid out.

733
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 3: Like the way there. I actually had that entry in

734
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: three different letters, like I just wherever it wherever it.

735
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: That is smart smart.

736
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 6: I got very distracted reading about the Steelers new secret

737
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 6: offensive coordinator assistant Glenn Thomas.

738
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: So maybe that's something that you guys need to put

739
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 2: on your radar.

740
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 5: Okay, there's I remember when Matt Canada, who's there U

741
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 5: in peril though, see that no one likes, was once

742
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 5: kind of the secret offensive assistant that was helping the

743
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 5: former offensive coordinatoruntil they got rid of him and lifted

744
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 5: up Canada.

745
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: You have some Canada anti Canada takes too, don't you.

746
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 3: I did in the middle of last season, but I

747
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 3: warmed up to him.

748
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 5: A not a big Canada guy all right.

749
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: Up next are Connie are Rich.

750
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 6: That's where I'm going here, as in I'm waiting to

751
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 6: see when Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert get that quarterback money.

752
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 6: They both have these two years left on their but

753
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 6: now the Lamar and Jalen Hurts signed theirs, there's some

754
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 6: more comps to work with for the front offices.

755
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow says that he's pretty clear.

756
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 6: On what he wants in the negotiations that are going

757
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 6: on right now.

758
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: The Justin Herbert talks are pretty quiet, but.

759
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 6: I'm really interested to see how what the years are

760
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 6: on both of these deals. Because Jalen and Lamar both

761
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 6: signed five year deals. I think that these both of

762
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 6: these the Bengals and the Chargers, both of these franchises

763
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 6: are owned by families that I think that they're going

764
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 6: to want to push the years hard on these deals.

765
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 6: So I'm interested to see where did the year's land

766
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 6: and where the money lands for both of these.

767
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 5: Guys, and the guaranteed money, because you mentioned it, I

768
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 5: don't think these teams have as much cash as others

769
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 5: because of the nature of their ownership. We went through

770
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 5: the whole escrow thing. We don't need to talk about escrow.

771
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 5: But it's kind of like for these fan bases, all right, Chargers, Bengals,

772
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 5: let's be grown ups. Let's just take care of this.

773
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 5: I think both quarterbacks are so low key they don't

774
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 5: want to have any big drama publicly. But there was

775
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 5: some talking Cincinnati. It's like forever that was Paul Brown Stadium, Remember,

776
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 5: they just wouldn't get a naming right and the whole

777
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 5: idea of them getting the naming rights was literally like

778
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 5: looking ahead to this Joe Burrow contract, like we better

779
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 5: we better sell it to Akroscher. I don't know is

780
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 5: it Akroscher? Who's Akrosher?

781
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: I think it is.

782
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 3: Acrosure is in the midd that's Pittsburgh. Don't they have

783
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 3: to have more guaranteed money? Mar Jackson pay Courts Stadia.

784
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 3: Don't you have to pay these guys more than Lamar Jackson?

785
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: Right?

786
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 5: So? And and Patrick Mahomes who signed that ten year contract,

787
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 5: which was interesting. It's probably gonna get a new contract

788
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 5: this offseason two, like a restructured one where he gets

789
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 5: more than Jalen Hurts too, So it's.

790
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: All that's a fun one to watch, spicy whoever gets Yeah,

791
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: who gets more? That's good. Who's the highest paid player

792
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: in the league. That's how this ends, right, I think it'll.

793
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 5: Be Mahomes Mahomes?

794
00:36:53,080 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, uh, let's see s that's me. Spoon perhaps

795
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: the most underrated rock band of its era, all things considered,

796
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: everyone likes Spoon, Greg they just don't know it.

797
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 5: We were just talking about this.

798
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: Yes, they have a song called the Underdog. I don't

799
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: know if you guys know it. You probably do. You

800
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: probably heard it, like, Oh, I liked the song. You

801
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: didn't know it was spoon. It was featured prominently in

802
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: one of those Spider Man movies with the new guy.

803
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: I'm not aware not Andrew Garfield. Oh yeah, with a

804
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 5: tall girl's boyfriend.

805
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

806
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 3: I like that.

807
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 5: We're really talking like middle aged you.

808
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: Know, you know the kid, the boy with the glass.

809
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: He goes around with boyish charm charisma for days. Very

810
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: good actor, young actor. Anyway, that leads me to the

811
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. They are the ultimate underdogs entering twenty twenty three.

812
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: You ready for this? Here's a stat. The Cardinals have

813
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: opened as underdogs in all seventeen games this season, per DraftKings,

814
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. Am I gonna do it? He's gonna

815
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: do it? Is there an oh to seventeen possibility in Arizona?

816
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: Oh that's dark.

817
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 3: I think that's so tough to achieve.

818
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 5: And yet your team did it and contain almost did

819
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 5: it again. No, it's possible they did.

820
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 3: I would say this like it's let's say there's a world,

821
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: and I think it's very possible where they start out

822
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: terribly and Kyler Murray. It's just sort of agreed that

823
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: we're not going to put Kyler Murray into the middle

824
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: of a car crash. And so you've got a combination

825
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: of Cault McCoy if he's even able to play at

826
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: this point, David Blow Jeff driscoll at quarterback. So that's

827
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 3: the roadmap to not win games and to get destroyed.

828
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 3: And I think they're the They're the one clear team

829
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 3: that like has a reason to get the number one

830
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 3: pick and has a reason to not put Kyler Murray

831
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 3: in Week twelve and try to win a few meaningless

832
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 3: games down the stretch. So it's possible they're the one

833
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: the first team I'd say possibility.

834
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 5: I think it's possible because of the out of division schedule.

835
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 5: So you're you're at Washington, say Week one, like that

836
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 5: should be a somewhat winnable game, but with Colt McCoy's starting,

837
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 5: it's it's less winnable. I mean, as much of a

838
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 5: mess they were at the end of last season, they

839
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 5: were in all those games and they won. They won

840
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 5: some of them. You know, do they win that Atlanta game? No,

841
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 5: Atlanta won at the end, But like you look at

842
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 5: their schedule, and in each site I go to on

843
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 5: the side, it's like tickets as low as blank. And

844
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 5: usually for most team it's like one hundred and fifty dollars,

845
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 5: two hundred and thirty four dollars, and with the Cardinals,

846
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 5: it's just like twenty bucks, twenty five bucks, thirty five bucks.

847
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 5: Like you can get in. If you're into the Cardinals

848
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 5: this year, you can get into the building.

849
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 6: I wonder if there'll be a team that is like

850
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 6: so the coast, so sideways that it's actually fun to

851
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 6: watch at a certain point, like it comes back around,

852
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 6: it goes so far heywire, and so it just becomes

853
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 6: comical at that point.

854
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's if they get the Carson Wentz signing done.

855
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, they got it.

856
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: They could be a wild if Carson Wentz is on

857
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: this stage in at.

858
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 5: Houston week eleven. You're right, it's not. It's like not

859
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 5: the craziest thing. And unlike the NBA, which just had

860
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 5: the lottery, you know, you get that worst record, you

861
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 5: get that one pick, and if you listen to the

862
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,479
Speaker 5: draft people, the quarterback draft people, some people like Drake

863
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 5: May more than Caleb Williams. So that this is a

864
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 5: year where I think there's gonna be two quarterbacks people

865
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 5: absolutely love, and there'll be a lot of motivation to

866
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 5: get to the bottom.

867
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: Here are some great Spoon songs if people want to

868
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: check it out Wild, which is one of my favorite

869
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: songs the last couple of years. Anything you want the Underdog?

870
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: As I said, you got your cherry bomb? Do you?

871
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: Sister Jack? Inside out? I turned my camera on. I

872
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: think that was in the pilot of It's.

873
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 3: A lot of songs, a lot of songs.

874
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: The way we get by it's a great band.

875
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 5: But as we as we were talking about it's a band,

876
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 5: you hear the song and you're like, oh, yeah, I

877
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 5: like this song. Who is this and someone goes like, oh,

878
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 5: it's Spooning, and near like yeah, I was like that.

879
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 5: I was like, Spoons. But then you don't follow up

880
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 5: and actually listen, that's my That's been my.

881
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's impacted their their bottom line in

882
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: a really egregious way, and it's probably very frustrating, But

883
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: shout out to Spoon. Speaking of Spoons, you remember Mark

884
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: back in the day. We're coming up on the year

885
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: anniversary of one of the most famous questions in the

886
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: history of around the NFL to cave on Thibodeau the

887
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: Giants defensive end. Let's listen in.

888
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 3: You know, you've just gotten to know Brian Table, your

889
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 3: your new coach. Would you just instinctly do you think

890
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 3: he's more of a front spoon or a backspoon when

891
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 3: he is spooning someone.

892
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: I don't answer those type of questions. That's a tough one.

893
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 3: I mean, there was this decision because just like right now,

894
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 3: I was staring at, you know, my laptop and then

895
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 3: come up with a variety of questions for him. And

896
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 3: we had talked to him before and I thought that, uh,

897
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 3: you know, he was going to be.

898
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: Game for he was a humorless boob.

899
00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that wasn't the case.

900
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I we were friends, were famous.

901
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: When Greg was here, everything was under control.

902
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 5: I connected with the youth.

903
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 3: I was like, looking, I had I had a decision,

904
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 3: and it's like, I know this is not going great.

905
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 3: I make the decision to ask this question or pivot

906
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 3: off to something panic, pivot to something much more mundane.

907
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: I was like, well, no, of course we're asking this question.

908
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: And it was the right move. As a journalist, it

909
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: was the right move. You know, there were some events

910
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: that came after the fact, after that interview, that the

911
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: public got an eye on some things for that young

912
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: man that maybe he does. You know, he could stand

913
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: to rethink some decisions. I put it that way.

914
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 5: I do love as part of that clip before, it's

915
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 5: like Thibodeau barely had the words out of his mouth

916
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 5: and Dan's just like, oh, yeah, that's a hard question.

917
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 5: It's like board, It's like, let's let's throw Mark from

918
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 5: the boat.

919
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: Well, no, you have to see his face. You have

920
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: to see his face as the question is being asked.

921
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: Because it was like a slow motion car crash. From

922
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: my seat, I was like, oh no, oh.

923
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 2: No, I never really heard it describe that.

924
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: I know.

925
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: I did not leave big little right, I did not

926
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: describe a spoon.

927
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's I actually.

928
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 3: Agree more with front or back because in certain worlds,

929
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 3: like the back person could be the smaller. It could

930
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 3: be a smaller person spooning.

931
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't I'm the smallest big spoon you will ever meet.

932
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 3: Right, but you can play that role.

933
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 5: But god, a little I don't.

934
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 2: Like being a little spoon because I I mean, misterphobic

935
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 2: not surprising, and I don't think he necessarily likes it, but.

936
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: Pill for his poison. I wasn't throwing you under the bus.

937
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: I was trying to like it was going or I

938
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: try to pivot out of that. Yeah, we were.

939
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 3: We got through that together.

940
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: I know.

941
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 3: That's all I'd say about that, because there's another It's

942
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 3: like another fleshy like seventeen or eighteen minutes like.

943
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 5: This guy over here. I don't know about that question.

944
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 2: My god, I.

945
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: Didn't do that. I didn't do that.

946
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 3: It was It was a tough one though, but it's

947
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 3: like a twenty five minute conversation. I remember being in

948
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 3: my car after that, like you're just like trying to

949
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 3: figure out what just happened.

950
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: What it was like a bomb it dropped. I do

951
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: there is a part of me that always has thought

952
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: we got to bring him back. I think so now

953
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: I just called him a humorous boop that that could

954
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: be an issue. But if it gets back to him,

955
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: but he was and maybe if he's on the show

956
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: again with Greg most importantly vitally, yeah he'll be back

957
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: in you know, better speaking opportunity for him, more playful.

958
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll have to ask him again.

959
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: Yes, that is a great call. Let's say it goes great,

960
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: and he's like flying with us. And then one last question.

961
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 5: Like we didn't really get the answer last time, but

962
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 5: we've been wondering the last couple of years.

963
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 2: If you changed your mind, you do answer those questions now.

964
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: T Greg all right.

965
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 5: My word is a truculent, Uh, defined as eager or

966
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 5: quick to argue aggressively defiant.

967
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 2: Have you been called this?

968
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 5: No, but I think that could be accurate in some cases.

969
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 5: The sentence describe you know, they use an example sentence

970
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 5: It was his days of truculent defiance were over. But

971
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 5: let me tell you mine are just starting. It's truculent offseason. Uh,

972
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 5: let's let's hear some things this offseason maybe that will

973
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 5: inspire truculence or just to kind of like get familiar

974
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 5: with the words. Roman Roy right now. Love that guy.

975
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 5: I don't care what he does. Truculent as hell. I mean,

976
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 5: he's he's there's.

977
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: Something there by the way. I think maybe you see yourself.

978
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 3: I think Craig sees himself.

979
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 5: I hope there's not too much, but I just think

980
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 5: he's because he's.

981
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: Like a monster on the show's.

982
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 5: A funny is a funny monster. I've I've always been

983
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 5: a Kieran Culkin fan. Going back to Igby goes Down,

984
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 5: I think he's just a great actor, but he cracks

985
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 5: me up. I think he nails that whole thing.

986
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: He's an enemy of democracy.

987
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 5: Well now yeah, with the political stuff, it's been less

988
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 5: funny that he's trying to ruin the country.

989
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: No spoilers though, No spoiler.

990
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 3: All right.

991
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 5: Anytime like any reporter or analyst or someone on Twitter

992
00:45:55,520 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 5: tries to draw any meaning whatsoever from oates in mini

993
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 5: camps that go beyond injuries, uh, that will make me truculent.

994
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 5: Like it doesn't matter.

995
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: I saw some of that with your boys, Anthony Richardson recently.

996
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: The spirals are unbelievable from this kid. Can't relax.

997
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 5: Just I think the Rams are gonna get truculent when

998
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 5: anyone says rebuild, this is on my radar. They're gonna

999
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 5: be very sensitive. But if they're not rebuilding, when you cover.

1000
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: Like eight teams in one with one letter, yes, you're

1001
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 3: just scattering me. You know I'm being scattered left and right.

1002
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 5: But they're just one sentences.

1003
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm gonna revisit one of these teams. I feel.

1004
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 5: I think the important thing is people leave this show

1005
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 5: understanding what truculent means. After my her suit uh disaster

1006
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 5: the other day, it is getting hairy.

1007
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: Right now? Do you step on one more Sessler topic

1008
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: I have, Like we'll get.

1009
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 5: I have four more Bears fans. We could double up

1010
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 5: a little. It's like Bears fans anyone time anyone points

1011
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 5: out how little ebra flues added to the defense, or

1012
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 5: like even there's like a.

1013
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 3: Little of caution, don't get checking point that out earlier.

1014
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, that I think Bears fans that that's they'll get truculent. Uh,

1015
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson or anyone associated with the Browns will get

1016
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 5: truculent if anyone dares mention the reason he missed the

1017
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 5: season and a half and like, uh, he didn't go

1018
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 5: to jail man. It's America, Like they get very truculate.

1019
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 5: Spit a blanket on the entire fan they like, I

1020
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 5: can't mention it. Sean Payton if anyone mentions he was

1021
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 5: the Broncos fourth choice to be head coach, Oh, it's

1022
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 5: gonna go. And then Bill Belichick not truculent at all.

1023
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 5: This is Bill Belichick season. He's so happy in the offseason.

1024
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 5: I think he loves this. You tell oh, actually his

1025
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 5: he's like wearing the shorts. He's spinning the whistle.

1026
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: Was everyone a negative spinning except for the Patriots. One

1027
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: is that he's.

1028
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 5: Spinning the whistle in the press conference. He's that he's

1029
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 5: like he still loves football. I don't think he loves

1030
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 5: like losing and the stressless season, but this is his time.

1031
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 5: He's just like teaching. He's a cot like he's a teacher,

1032
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 5: and he's just like in a great mood.

1033
00:47:58,600 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: Now, I bet a lot of coaches are like that.

1034
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: Press is where the pressure isn't on them at all,

1035
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: and they just have the ability to do what they

1036
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: love without peering eyes and all that they swing that

1037
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: big old whistle.

1038
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 5: I hope I didn't make you panic pivot.

1039
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 3: And no I'm not. I'm like, I know where I'm going.

1040
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: Let's take a break and finish this out. All right,

1041
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: we're back mark you.

1042
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 3: I want to mention one of the teams that the

1043
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 3: Gregg reference, so I'll say you is for underrated. I'm

1044
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 3: asking a question. I'm not okay, is it possible where

1045
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 3: sort of blanket level underrating the Rams? I just wonder

1046
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 3: because when I read like what Jordan Rodrigue describes what

1047
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 3: the team is doing like there is an incredible youth

1048
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 3: movement occurring, so and Sean McVay decided to stick around

1049
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 3: through this, Like, I wonder if it's a gateway to

1050
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 3: see that we're maybe underrating the powers of Sean McVay

1051
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 3: in general, like to coach up like a super young

1052
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 3: roster that still has a star quarterback, arguably the best

1053
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 3: wide out and the finest defensive player in football. Little

1054
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 3: top heavy, but there are pieces or like to your

1055
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 3: rebuild truculency. Do they get to a point in the

1056
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 3: season and be like or even the offseason, say actually,

1057
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 3: this doesn't all fit together the way that we thought,

1058
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 3: and Matthew Stafford and others are out the door by Halloween.

1059
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 3: If a team needs a quarterback or someone else and

1060
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 3: that does become a full rebuild, I just wonder how

1061
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 3: they view themselves because they seem to be more confident

1062
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 3: in who they are and what they are, then I

1063
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 3: feel about them looking at the roster.

1064
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: If I'm Sean McVay and I guess less need I'm

1065
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: loving this setup right now because no one, like you're saying,

1066
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: thinks they're worth of damn right now, everyone thinks the

1067
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: bill came due and they were terrible last year and

1068
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: they're just gonna not be competitive this year either. And

1069
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a little yeah, that's a blanket statement

1070
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: just to assume a lot went wrong for them last year.

1071
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: I mean a lot. And it's even under the best circumstances.

1072
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: Returning after winning a Super Bowl is a very hard

1073
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 1: task for teams. So now you get past that hangover thing,

1074
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: you get all the terrible injuries, you got a fresh

1075
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: start there. And I think what they're trying to do,

1076
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: Connie a little bit is thread the needle. I think

1077
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: they know they're not a powerhouse, maybe internally, but I

1078
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: think they look at it and they say, you know what,

1079
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: with this core, with these superstars we still have in

1080
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: the building, there's a path that ten wins here and

1081
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: being a relevant team and playing in the postseason, and

1082
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: then who knows what happens. And sure it's not crazy

1083
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: to me.

1084
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 6: I guess at this point they're a team that could

1085
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 6: be looked at as playing with house money if they

1086
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 6: do exceed expectations, because the expectations are so low. But

1087
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 6: even just pulling up the death chart and looking at

1088
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 6: who's there the defense, especially, Like, yes, they have Aaron Donald,

1089
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 6: but it's a lot of names that really are not

1090
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 6: big names at all. And you have Jaylen Ramsey gone

1091
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 6: now too with this secondary I mean their corners or

1092
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 6: Robert Rochelle and Darien Kendrick. Like, there's a lot of

1093
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 6: names that aren't household names. And sure Cooper cup could

1094
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 6: come back from this injury and be great with Matthew Stafford,

1095
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 6: but I'm just I'm not really buying it.

1096
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if they can do it.

1097
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: To the point of what you were saying, though, Mark right,

1098
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: is that this has to be for that building. They're like,

1099
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: we like some of these young guys. We're excited about

1100
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: coaching them up. And people don't think we're gonna be

1101
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 1: able to turn these guys into players, but I think

1102
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: they probably do.

1103
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, they signed a ton of undrafted guys too. I

1104
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 3: just think it's more it's not that this is this

1105
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 3: eleven win season in hiding. I think it's just that

1106
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 3: maybe they feel like the plan is not just this

1107
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 3: is a throwaway year. We're not the Arizona Cardinals. There's

1108
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 3: maybe a lot more going on here. In like a

1109
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 3: weekend NFC, and I just want to I think it's

1110
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 3: kind of like we've seen Sean McVay coach a star

1111
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 3: studded team and we saw the result, but like this

1112
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 3: is a different version of them. For some reason, this

1113
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 3: Rams journey is more interesting to me than the sort

1114
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 3: of like prepackaged Super Bowl team that was foisted upon

1115
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 3: us by the entire NFL.

1116
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 6: You know, I could see them almost as like a

1117
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 6: Lions of last year because we saw we watched hard Knocks,

1118
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 6: and you know, of course our expectations are always high

1119
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 6: after hard Knocks, but there was a lot of names

1120
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 6: that we didn't know how they could play, or what

1121
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 6: they would be like in the NFL, and how they

1122
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 6: would play together. And then they came together and exceeded expectations.

1123
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 6: So maybe that's what the Rams do, right.

1124
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 5: And I don't think they were happy with their coaching

1125
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 5: staff last year. They bring in Mike Lafleur, They're asking

1126
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 5: a lot of Raheem Morris. The problem is I think

1127
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 5: they're over under six and a half, one of the

1128
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 5: lowest in the league. I think they think they can

1129
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 5: beat that. I think they think their recipe is we

1130
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 5: can be a legit good offense like a top seven

1131
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 5: or eight offense with these veterans and the defense like

1132
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 5: Raheem Morris, like, we are asking a lot out of you.

1133
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 3: Man.

1134
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 5: We know we're not giving you much talent, but can

1135
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 5: you just make them respectable enough for this offense which

1136
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 5: has a lot of veterans. I mean, we say they're

1137
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 5: a young team, but like Stafford, Higbee, Akers Havevenstein, Noteboom Cup, Jefferson,

1138
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 5: those are all Super Bowl starters essentially.

1139
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 1: So you said six and a half, six and a half,

1140
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm banging the over.

1141
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 3: I would too. It's just not a very good conference. Bang,

1142
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 3: I think it's right.

1143
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: That's not true too.

1144
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think six and a half feels

1145
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 5: about right.

1146
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: Like bang the under the seven you're saying that's it,

1147
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: they're ex seven and eleven lost team. Okay, I'm sure.

1148
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure is saying, yeah, go ahead.

1149
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 5: Good point. They won five in a total bottom out situation.

1150
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 5: They still it's a good point.

1151
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: Up next is Colleen. But the always difficult letter v he.

1152
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 2: Is for votes and vetos.

1153
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 6: We have the letter by coming up next week in Minnesota,

1154
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 6: and one of the things they will be voting on

1155
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 6: is whether or not Amazon those TNF games late in

1156
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 6: the season can be flexed from Sundays to Thursdays, which

1157
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 6: I think is super interesting. Goodell was pushing this in

1158
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 6: Phoenix a couple months ago. They had twenty two votes.

1159
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 6: They need twenty four votes, so they just needed to

1160
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 6: get two more for this to go through. And I mean,

1161
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 6: it turns out when you're paying one point two billion

1162
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 6: dollars you can get better matchups.

1163
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, one point five billion, you could do it too.

1164
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 2: You lose me on the math and the decimal points,

1165
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 2: so yeah.

1166
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 6: I mean, I think that it's tough to move any

1167
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 6: games in and out of Thursday because it's so early

1168
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 6: in the week. But they'd be able to do this

1169
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 6: with a fifteen day advanced notice, so teams would know

1170
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 6: ahead of time whether or not they'd have a short

1171
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 6: week or maybe they're getting out of a short week.

1172
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: Truth.

1173
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 3: I like any flexibility that allows us to not get

1174
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 3: stuck with like a stink bomb on Thursday night late

1175
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 3: in the year. I think the teams and the players

1176
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 3: have to feel very differently about it. I think in

1177
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 3: a way, we get to a point where they're just

1178
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 3: being moved around the board for our pleasure, and like

1179
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,439
Speaker 3: from a health standpoint and a planning standpoint. They're the

1180
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 3: they take, they take the yel.

1181
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 5: I feel like we we've come a long way in

1182
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 5: terms of like comfort, as in like a Western society.

1183
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 5: I can live with like a finger of a Thursday

1184
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 5: night game here and there, Like I think we can

1185
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 5: accept that. Maybe Amazon can't hence the billions. But if

1186
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 5: you give me like three total stinkers on a Thursday

1187
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 5: and it just don't watch it if you don't want to.

1188
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 6: Broncos Colts last year in overtime and.

1189
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 5: Was early, That's what I mean. You can't prevent that.

1190
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 5: That was that looked like a good matchup.

1191
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: As al Michael said, scheduled a little leaky last year. Well,

1192
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: bet leaky.

1193
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 5: But that part of it was because Russell Wilson was

1194
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 5: so heavily involved in so many primetime games.

1195
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: A little bit leaky. Who's up? I'm up? Time for

1196
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: a poised to pivot? Oh do w all right?

1197
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 3: We went down the Amazon path to Uh that's true.

1198
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: No, I'm not.

1199
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 3: I'm asking if you that what caused you to have

1200
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 3: to pivot?

1201
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: Oh way back? Devanta Adams, Okay, that's why it's so poised.

1202
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: I've had time I love it. Uh. The Washington football team,

1203
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: formerly known as the Redskins, now the Commanders. And there

1204
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: is a thought now that Josh Harris and his gaggle

1205
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: of buddies have you know, rolled in or about to

1206
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: roll in. Why do we have to stick with commanders?

1207
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: What's the point? Like that was just like we talked

1208
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: about who was the private pile? What was the pig?

1209
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: They rolled out private pork commander what commander Carnitas? What

1210
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: was it?

1211
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 3: It was the absurd they got on field care.

1212
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 1: They rolled out the mascot at halftime of their final

1213
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: home game months.

1214
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 4: Before the Commander Tuddy Major Tuddy, Major Major Tuddy.

1215
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 3: I've just looked that up.

1216
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't say Commander Carneath.

1217
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 5: You can't just change the name again?

1218
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: Why not?

1219
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 3: I think there's I think there's provisions that prevent that,

1220
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 3: but I why not?

1221
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 5: But I guess you're right. I take that back. I

1222
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 5: don't like Commanders.

1223
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 2: Why not just go back to Washington football team?

1224
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 5: I like that all we didn't.

1225
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: He it's kind of a take that. It's kind of

1226
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: like everybody agrees that's not good either. Washington football team.

1227
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:11,240
Speaker 5: Why not? It's different. It's like other sports. So it's somehow.

1228
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah is it what because it's like the it's like

1229
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: soccer football.

1230
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, that it was interesting. This is one another football

1231
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 5: I know, but that's just it's just for one team.

1232
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 5: So that's kind of Commanders just doesn't feel right to me.

1233
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm not yeah, I just think maybe that's a little cute,

1234
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: but it's this is a Washington.

1235
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 5: This is Washington. I hear you.

1236
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 2: But where names that you want?

1237
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 5: Like Joe, thisman had a pretty good point. Let me

1238
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 5: there's a Commanders in Washington. There are many commanders in Washington. Okay,

1239
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 5: And Joe was right. And now I want to say

1240
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 5: my take here is not that the commanders should change

1241
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 5: their name. I I I'm saying, why wouldn't Josh Harris

1242
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 5: have the ability to It's his team.

1243
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: He's spent not just six billion, an additional fifty million

1244
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: on top of the six billion. Joeth, thisman who once

1245
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: told us about you know what so many throughout Washington,

1246
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: scattered across d C. He says, chill, Chill.

1247
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 7: I wouldn't be a fan of rebranding because we've had

1248
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 7: you know, we've had three different names in four or

1249
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 7: five years, and to go through it again now that's

1250
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 7: one side of it. I think just to change for

1251
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 7: change's sake doesn't make sense. It never has for me.

1252
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 7: But you know what would be the reason to change.

1253
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 7: If you think of the San Francisco forty nine ers,

1254
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 7: the forty nine ers, they speak to the history of

1255
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 7: San Francisco of what they did in gold rush time.

1256
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 7: When you think of the Washington, DC area, it's the

1257
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 7: seat of command of all military.

1258
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,919
Speaker 1: He's right. He was right then when he leaked the name,

1259
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: which he wasn't supposed to do, and he did, by

1260
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: the way, that was Grant and Danny on one O

1261
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: six to seven the fan and he's right now.

1262
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 5: The seat of command. Maybe we should call them the seats.

1263
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 2: The seat of command is truly wonderful.

1264
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 5: Joeagon Is Joe still going to be like the kind

1265
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 5: of figurehead with the new ownership because he sort of

1266
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 5: had like an unofficial statesman role which I believe was

1267
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 5: paid by the old ownership.

1268
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: Are there any I know Englewood High just walked in.

1269
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: Any anybody that's big Rams fan? Back? There?

1270
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 5: There many Rams like hand a couple of hands like

1271
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 5: they're not actually listening to the show. The audio The

1272
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,479
Speaker 5: audio might not be available there.

1273
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: Are a couple, Eric, there are a couple. Do we

1274
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: want to ask one of the students their thoughts on

1275
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: the RAMS in twenty twenty three?

1276
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:39,919
Speaker 5: I mean, that's putting them on the spot, but sure,

1277
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 5: I'm down.

Speaker 2: Yeah, does anyone want to talk about the RAMS?

1281
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: This is this is what it's about. No sales or deciding.

1282
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: There are roughly forty four students behind the glass right now.

1283
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: They're deciding who will speak on behalf of the youth

1323
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: youth of America.

1324
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 3: I have no wisdom to offer young people on any level.

1325
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 5: Okay, what about Texas?

1326
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 4: What about Texas?

1327
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 3: I think you're probably going to do a better job

1328
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 3: of it than I did over the course of time.

1329
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:55,480

1330
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 2: What do you want to do?

1331
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 8: Actually, I'm going to the navy.

01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:04,360

01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: I do.

1334
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 8: Actually I'm not I'm not that young.

1335
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: Finally, finally, last question. You don't know us? What can

1336
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: we do to kind of get into the neighborhood and

1337
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: let people know that this podcast exists on any level?

1338
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 8: Well, to be fair, I don't really know anything that

1339
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 8: you guys talk about, like to that extent.

1340
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,160

1342
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 5: And you ever heard the word truck truculent before truck

1343
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 5: you lent your suit. It means eager or quick to

1344

Speaker 1: See I feel like we've connected with the youth. Now

1351
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: whether that makes a difference in the metrics word of mouth,

1352
01:02:59,080 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 1: you never.

1353
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 6: Know what the reason you're connecting with the youth for

1354
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 6: the metrics stand correct.

1355
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 5: Well, I did notice a lot of his friends were

1356
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 5: recording that too on their phone, so we could get

1357
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 5: some major's.

1358
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: Little bump new audience. All right, anything else? Are we done?

1359
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 2: No?

1360
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 5: No, I do have to go save my sick. Uh,

1361
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 5: my sick.

1362
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's roll through it here.

1363
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 5: All right, I think I'm up.

1364
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 2: We'll do it quick. Yeah, Greg's up with X.

1365
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: I commanders change your name if you want, but I

1366
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: think follow Joe Eisman whatever he says, all right, go ahead,

1367
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: X all right.

1368
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 5: My my word is uh, seister. I'm not sure how

1369
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 5: to pronounce.

1370
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 2: Care what you're doing this again?

1371
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 5: I don't know. I asked Eric during the show if

1372
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 5: he could play a pronunciation guide of this word. It's

1373
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 5: x Y s t R. I saw this word and

1374
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 5: I was like, what a word. Let's let's try to

1375
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 5: hear the pronunciation. Oh, okay, sister, let's hear that again.

1376
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I trust what is it? So?

1377
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 5: The sister is a sir instrument for scraping bones. And

1378
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 5: that's I feel like the Vikings have been using a

1379
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 5: zister to their defense this offseason, just picking it clean.

1380
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 5: Their top four cornerbacks are gone. Their top four cornerbacks

1381
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 5: last year. Patrick Peterson was one of them. Who else,

1382
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 5: Duke Shelley, Cameron Danceler, I don't know who was the fourth.

1383
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,919
Speaker 5: Who cares. They weren't very good, Peterson was, Okay, it's

1384
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 5: all a bunch of new players. You get rid of

1385
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 5: Eric Kendricks at linebacker as well, you get rid of

1386
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 5: Zidarius Smith. And on one hand, I'm like, what is

1387
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 5: up with this defense? And then on the other, oh,

1388
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 5: you brought in Brian Flores. That's a big upgrade. You

1389
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 5: actually can't get much worse than you were last year.

1390
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 5: So worst case scenario, maybe you're the same. You're asking

1391
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 5: Brian Flores to do a lot. You need young players,

1392
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 5: like their picks last year at the top of the

1393
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 5: draft who really got no playing time, who was Scene

1394
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 5: Their first round pick got hurt right away, Lewis Scene,

1395
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 5: and then Andrew Boots Junior the second round pick. So

1396
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 5: they have some young players. They have Denel Hunter still,

1397
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,479
Speaker 5: if they can just improve to a little bit maybe

1398
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 5: that offense is enough to carry them and they're not

1399
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 5: a total disaster this year. Eight and a half is

1400
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 5: there over under right now? That feels fair. But defensively

1401
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 5: they took the zisters.

1402
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: Is that kind of remarkable? And we all know thirteen

1403
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: and four was weird last year, but to get banged

1404
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: all the way down to eight and a half, Yeah,

1405
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: I think that's my only pushback to We're hearing that

1406
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: a lot like, oh, Brian Flores is there now, they're

1407
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: gonna be much much better. Yeah, but you gotta have

1408
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: players to coach up. And maybe it's the same thing.

1409
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: And like I was saying with La they like a

1410
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: lot of these years, they're.

1411
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 5: A one sided team. I think they're hoping they're defense

1412
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 5: bad their defense, They're hoping their offense can be a

1413
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 5: top ten offense, and then the old line's pretty good

1414
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 5: and they have weapons. I think Addison could be a

1415
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 5: big upgrade from where Adam Thielen was a year ago,

1416
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 5: so the offense could be good.

1417
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 3: I wonder what they what they told Brian Flores. Because

1418
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 3: of any team in the league this offseason, it was

1419
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 3: the Vikings that have had to make like really severe

1420
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 3: moves to they couldn't even pay the rookie class. I

1421
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 3: have to get rid of zid areas, right, That's exactly

1422
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 3: why that happens. So, I mean, if anything, you have

1423
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 3: to give Brian Floores like a total mulligan. They were

1424
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 3: awful to begin with. You've taken parts away and you're

1425
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,439
Speaker 3: essentially putting them into a completely new scheme. We're probably

1426
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 3: if you're Brian flour saying, a lot of these players

1427
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,439
Speaker 3: don't necessarily fit what I would handpick to start with.

1428
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be a long year. But to Greg

1429
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 3: to your point, like, they were literally the worst defense

1430
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 3: in the league last year, So if they're the second worst,

1431
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 3: he's done an incredible job metrics wise.

1432
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: A lot of pressure, a lot of pressure on the offense.

1433
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: The offense has to be great and then the defense.

1434
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: If the defense goes from like the thirtieth best defense

1435
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 1: to the twentieth best this year, is that enough to

1436
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 1: get back to the playoffs? Maybe?

1437
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 5: What's that pronunciation again? All right, let's move on. A

1438
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 5: surgical instrument for scraping bones.

1439
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 2: Oh surgical?

1440
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 6: I was gonna ask you, is that like a Butcher

1441
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 6: Show surgical instrument?

1442
01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: Like an undertaker? More choy all right anyway, Mark, why

1443
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: all right?

1444
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 3: I am panic pivoting, uh and this time I have

1445
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 3: no backup plan. But I do have a question that

1446
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 3: I had a little bit of something there. But I'm

1447
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 3: happy to ask this question. Why is for for you?

1448
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 3: For yolo? I guess a term that I think I

1449
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 3: banned in the past.

1450
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: Each of you sweat is building.

1451
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 3: Give me something this off season that you're going to

1452
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 3: do to change your life before all hell breaks loose

1453
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 3: in August. Something that you vow to do that will

1454
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 3: improve your life between throwing it back to us.

1455
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm a perfect pivot.

1456
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 6: That's a perfect a pivot.

1457
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 1: The okay, Colleen, you're up.

1458
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 6: Then I will be figure skating more because it makes

1459
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 6: me more of a grounded person.

1460
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: That's a great I thank you, adore that, Greg Dan, Okay,

1461
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 1: panic pivot off, a panic pivot. I will be spending

1462
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 1: time with family in Texas and New York and New Jersey. Sure,

1463
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:11,160

Speaker 6: You know you say Philadelphia Royalty. I feel like I

1499
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 6: reached my zenith when last week Andy Reid told me

1500
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 6: I have Philadelphia hair, and I was like, well, there

1501
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 6: is nowhere to go for And then at the top

1502
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 6: of the mountain.

1503
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 5: And he said say hi to Gonzo during a live

1504
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 5: interview on television, and you read that's Did they keep

1505
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 5: that in the show?

1506
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 2: I don't know, because I didn't.

1507
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 5: You were a little worried they might edit that.

1508
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 3: Gonzo's response to that, I'd be on the top.

1509
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if he knows. I have to tell him.

1510
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: You know what else, Like relatedly, you can tell Joe

1511
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: it's a busy day.

1512
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 5: You told me so that's the preference.

1513
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: You told me.

1514
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 2: About it right after it happened. It was a pre

1515
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 2: tape earlier in the day.

1516
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:36,639
Speaker 1: One more Philly related zenith, the sixer is about midway

1517
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: through the third quarter of Game six against the Celtics.

1518
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 2: Can we not?

1519
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 5: Can we maybe merely? Fourth quarter? Yeah?

1520
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 2: They can't get out of that round.

1521
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 5: I can't get past.

1522
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,719
Speaker 6: He's done, they're us career.

1523
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: Go ahead, keep going, get it out.

1524
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 2: I'm done.

1525
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,639
