19
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of slowing down a little bit. We're a

20
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: couple of weeks away from the draft. Uh. Luckily, Baker

21
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Mayfield sat down with formally his name is Mike now

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: used to be Mike stud actually sneaky s m jams. Uh.

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: He's like, uh, I don't even know Rapper, I guess,

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: but he's got a couple of good songs. I'm not

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna lie. He played baseball duke with Marcus Stroman, so

26
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: have some obviously that's kind of gone viral. Have a

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: couple of takes there. The a f C West Derek

28
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: Carr now clearly not going anywhere. Uh, And we're just

29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: gonna end up talking about this division a lot because

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: of the hype around it. The Dan Snyder stuff will

31
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: just not go away, the miss appropriation of funds. Maybe

32
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Ellen will buy the Commandos too. I I refused the Commanders, like,

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna say that. It's like the Cleveland Guardians,

34
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: like I'm sorry, I'm not calling your team, Like I'm

35
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: just not I don't know what I'm gonna call you now.

36
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Granted I don't really have to care about baseball, but

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: like it's hard for me to say the Commanders. I

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: don't view them as the Commanders. I personally like football team. Uh,

39
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: if if Ellen buys it. My advice to him would

40
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: be changed it back to the football team. That was

41
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: a unique name. Uh. And then something stood out to

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: me watching one of the play in games. Adam Silver

43
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: has been probably one of the worst commissioners in the

44
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: history of sports commissioners. I give him credit. The playing

45
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: game pretty good idea. Uh, and something jumped out to

46
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: me about that, and then Uh, I wanted to start

47
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: with something, but again, subscribe to the podcast. Subscribe if

Speaker 1: channel if you're into the YouTube thing. I don't know,

54
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: It's just one of the biggest websites in the world,

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: owned by Google. No big deal. But I wanted to

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: start with because I think this time of year you

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: hear a lot about this. He's a very safe pick,

58
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: that so and so player is very safe. There is

59
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: no such thing as safe. Literally, nothing in life is safe.

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: I think we take for granted, like you know, when

61
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: you got food poisoning and listen, we've all one time

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: I got food poisoning sick as I've ever been little

63
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: restaurant called Chipotle now and I'm a royal Chipotle guy.

64
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: I've been back several times since. But when you go

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: pick up food somewhere, like we're very lucky, you don't

66
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: even think about, yeah, this might be undercooked, or yeah

67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: this might make me sick, because the percentage chances of

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: that happening is so slim and it rarely happens, but

69
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: sometimes it does. You know, you just crossed the street.

70
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: Talk about risk. We've talked about risk so much these

71
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: last couple of years during the VID, during the ROHNA,

72
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: like we we risk getting in the car, driving around,

73
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: crossing the street, buying food, Like everything in life is

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: a risk. There is nothing that is one hundred percent safe.

75
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: A year ago is like nothing could go down to

76
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: the stock market, well ship, Look now a lot of

77
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: things plummeted like you just never know. There are so

78
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: many things that you have no clue. I don't care

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: when we use the term this, this thing, this buying

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: a house. The last couple of years, great, by great bye,

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: Well what if the market fucking tanks next year? And

82
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: we have a housing crisis. Who knows might not happen.

83
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: Probably won't, but you never know. So when I see

84
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: that these players in the draft, and it happens every

85
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: single year, this guy is very very This guy is

86
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: a high This guy is a high floor. Might not

87
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: have the highest ceiling, but he can't bust. That's not true.

88
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: You just do not know that we're dealing with human

89
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: beings here. You are dealing with a huge like a

90
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: small percentage of players in college football that is really

91
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: think how many people that play high school football? Don't

92
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: sniff like, I don't know the percentage, but I think

93
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 1: it's really small. A couple of percent of high school

94
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: football players go on to play Division one college football,

95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: and then a very very slim percentage of those players

96
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: go on to play in the National Football League. And

97
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: then a small percentage of those players actually stick for

98
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: longer than three or four years, and a small percentage

99
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: of those players actually become starters. This is a very

100
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: very difficult process. There is no you know, this isn't

101
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: an exact science because one schemes changed so much, coaching

102
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: impacts so much, and ultimately it's just very very difficult.

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: So when you hear players like this guy. He is

104
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: not like Mac Jones last year his he was known

105
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: as a guy with a really really high floor and

106
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna see, like, obviously he's probably not gonna suck,

107
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: but he went to the perfect situation. What if next

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: year Belichick retires, who the hell are they gonna hire?

109
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: Who would be as coach? There's no guarantee that he

110
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: could just overcome that. There are no guarantees in life.

111
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: The only thing that guarantees in life are axes and death.

112
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: Other than that, nothing, and definitely not on year old

113
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: just guarantee you gonna be a starting quarterback or or

114
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: starting running back or starting safety or whatever. We see

115
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: it every year, right, third round picks are immediately beat

116
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: out in training camp by a seventh round pick by

117
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent. It's what makes the draft so

118
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: cool and to me, my favorite part of the draft.

119
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: And it's why that I don't make such a big

120
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: deal you know about like later round picks. I'd say

121
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: like four, fifth, six seventh round picks, because those guys,

122
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: the percentage of those guys that hit, like, I don't

123
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: throw a party for third day picks because it's consistently

124
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents beat them out in training camp. So

125
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: what makes the d NFL so different than I'd say

126
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: than like basketball. For the most part, there aren't undrafted

127
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: free agents playing in the NBA. It's a huge part

128
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: of the NFL because part of the sport of football

129
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: intangibles stuff you can't quantify. You can separate yourself how

130
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: smart you are, how quick you understand stuff, toughness, and

131
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: that translates a lot to life. Like intangible separate people

132
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: in every industry. But like in basketball, like you can't

133
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: overcome being five eleven, right, you know you just can't.

134
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: We're in football. You can overcome not being the biggest guy.

135
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: Like Jason Kelsey not the biggest guy, but what does

136
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: he have. He's fucking smart, he's tough as ship, he's athletic.

137
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: He'll never, you know, be the first guy getting off

138
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: the bus. That's gonna scare you. So it's just it's

139
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: a time of year where I think a lot of

140
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: people try to get as closer they can as the

141
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: answers to the test, but you never truly know it,

142
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: and you're taking highly educated guesses in the draft, and

143
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: there there is no avoiding risk. Everything has risk. You

144
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: just try to mitigate your risk with high character guys,

145
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: with smart players, with good guys, but you also have

146
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: the talent. Is It's why it's so complicated. Ultimately, if

147
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm running a company and I just need some salespeople,

148
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: I just need to get people that can l whether

149
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: they're a good guy, whether they're a bad guy, all

150
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 1: that's it's kind of irrelevant. If you can just sell

151
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: my product or sell whatever I need you to do,

152
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: that's all I need you to do. Like, it's not

153
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: It's not that easy in football, right, There's so many

154
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: different variables being a good teammate. Like in a lot

155
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: of industries, who cares if the guy is a good

156
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: guy or a bad guy or gets along with people

157
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: at the office, that's a bonus. It's hard to overcome

158
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: that football because you spend so much time in the

159
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: locker room, you spend so much time in practice, You

160
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: spend the majority of your time in the facility, not

161
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: even playing the game. The baseball season started, what do

162
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: you do You look up every day you fall your

163
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: the Cubs, the Nationals, whoever, the Mets, the Giants, the Dodgers,

164
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: literally just play every day. You just never stop playing. Hell.

165
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: Even in basketball you're playing three four times a week.

166
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: In the NFL, you play once a week. The majority

167
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: of your week is spent on the practice field or

168
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: in the meeting room doing stuff related to the game

169
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: that is not the game. It's why Ray Lewis said,

170
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: you basically pay me for the week. The games are

171
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: for free. That's fun. The other stuff is not. And um,

172
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: just to me, it's what makes the draft very fascinating.

173
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: The other thing I think football really has and we've

174
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: talked about this a lot, and this is not like

175
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to uh, you know, be state media

176
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: here for the sport, but obviously basketball has really been

177
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: impacted by their regular season doesn't matter. I'm a millennial

178
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: who enjoys baseball. But let's face it, like you play

179
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: a game today, tomorrow, in the middle of May, they

180
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: just really don't matter. You know, obviously, you need to

181
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: win games you can get to the playoffs, but for

182
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: the most part, you're watching the individual game. Whether you

183
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: win that game, whether you lose that game, regardless of

184
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: what the outcome in that individual game, it doesn't matter.

185
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: We're in football, and definitely college football, but in the NFL,

186
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: every game matters because you only have so many. You

187
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: don't have eight two or a hundred and sixty two,

188
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: you got seventeen. In college football, you've got twelve. So

189
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: the the impact of every game, it's why for the

190
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: most part, not that there's not blowouts, not that they're

191
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: not bad games, but I would say at high level

192
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: Division one, and definitely in the NFL, eight percent of

193
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: the games might even be higher than you watch that

194
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: you see, guys, you know there's a small percentage of blowouts,

195
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: but I think the majority I think of games in

196
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: the NFL are a one score game going into the

197
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I heard Tom Coughlin say that a lot,

198
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: so you might have to stat check me on that

199
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: could be wrong, but you know, when I use my brain,

200
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: uh and do the formula in my brain, I'm yeah,

201
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: it kind of feels like it makes sense. Now. A

202
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: lot of games end up. It's why points spreads aren't

203
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: you know in the NFL fifteen points right. I mean

204
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: some every once in a while, maybe every once a

205
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: month or twice a month, you see a game with

206
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: these huge points spreads, But for the most part, they

207
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: hovered between three and six points, right, Because the majority

208
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: of NFL games are relatively close, and when you're in

209
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: a relatively close game, you're playing hard. Well, I'm watching

210
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves Clippers game the other night. The effort in

211
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: that game was just remarkable, and I'm thinking, if the

212
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: n b A could just get a large seventy of

213
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: their games to give this much effort, sport be okay,

214
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: because that's why the n c Double A tournament crushes, right.

215
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: It's a one and done situation. Every single player from

216
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: every single university is fucking laying it on the line.

217
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: You're like, this guy could not be trying any harder.

218
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: And for the most part in the NFL, you know,

219
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: you watch Jags Colts, You're like, the Jags are branded today.

220
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: You know. Let alone, if you watch like Cowboys Eagles

221
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night football, you get high level or Niners rams.

222
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: But you can watch like Lions Ravens. You're like, God,

223
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: the Lions are give them all you can handle. And

224
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: that is just consistent with the sport. And it's just

225
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: a point of difference. And I always think it's funny

226
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: that obviously the gambling companies who are in bed with

227
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: us here at the volume and basically everybody as they

228
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: should be. I say all the time, like so many

229
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: media members pretend to gamble. They don't actually gamble. They

230
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't give a penny if they had to to gamble

231
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: on a game. But they're doing it for financial reasons,

232
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: which I which I get. But I think you're a

233
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: little fraudulent if you if you hype up gambling and

234
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: you refuse to take make a bet. Uh, that's just me,

235
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: but I think you're a fraud There is no sport now.

236
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: I love gambling on golf, but you have to follow

237
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: golf pretty closely to feel pretty good about It's why

238
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: we do a podcast. We try to draw some shine

239
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: a little light on it. It's pretty easy to bet

240
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: on football. It's not easy to like most people are

241
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: betting on baseball, even in the NBA, Like it's not

242
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: I used to bet on the NBA a little bit

243
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: when they used to care about the regular season. You couldn't.

244
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: I actually did a couple of times this year because

245
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: I was board once football and for the most part,

246
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: I just don't think the consumers ever gonna bet on

247
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: the end. We bet on on football on Saturday and

248
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: Sunday and Monday and Thursday night football. That's when we

249
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: gamble because you feel pretty good about gambling on the game,

250
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: like you have a legitimate chance. Now you're obviously gonna

251
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: lose for the most part, more times you win unless

252
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: you're pretty good gambler. But there's nothing like the feeling

253
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: of winning a bet on a football game. It's it's great,

254
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: but ultimately you do it because you feel like the

255
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: game is like part of the reason why it's hard

256
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: to bet. A lot of times on the NBA, it's like, well,

257
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: I don't know who's gonna play. This guy is gonna rest,

258
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: this guy's taking a mental health day, this guy fucking

259
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: no where to be found. Ben Simmons, guy just quit

260
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL, Like if a guy if Tom Brady's

261
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: not playing, you know he's injured, right, If Nick Bosa

262
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: is out, he's he's hurt. Other than that, like all

263
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: their guys are gonna play. And I think it's just

264
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: been a point of difference for the NFL for a

265
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: while now. Is their effort just given the setup of

266
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: the sport is just one of its major point of

267

294
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: my issue with Russell Wilson is not that I don't

295
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: think he's one of the greatest players I've ever watched,

296
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: because I truly do. I think he's like the modern

297
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: day version, kind of like Steve Young. He's just a special,

298
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: unique player. Now I know he's different than Steve, but

299
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, he's just to me, he's

300
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame, just an all time great player.

301
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: But I just the person kind of drives me nuts.

302
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: I've said this over so I'm not gonna beat a

303
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: dead horse. But I do appreciate when people are just authentic,

304
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,359
Speaker 1: like you just be who you are, and I understand

305
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: being a public figure like I don't expect you to

306
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: break down every political belief you have. But when you

307
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: just are just cheeseball over and over and over again,

308
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: one of microphones in front of you, I don't believe

309
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: that's actually who you are, and I think most people

310
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: don't either. Uh, but that's the game to play with

311
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Instagram and social media and put on this fake face.

312
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: So I appreciate when guys say what you want about

313
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I do feel like when Aaron Rodgers talks,

314
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: you just get Aaron Rodgers. I think Tom has really

315
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: kind of come into his own as he got older,

316
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: and you just feel like he got a you know,

317
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. It's why Kobe Bryant, who I I sports hated,

318
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: and I really hated him partly because when I've grown

319
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: up was a Kings fan. The last like ten years

320
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: of Kobe's career and definitely after he retired, up until

321
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: he died, I thought Kobe was one of the most

322
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: authentic athletes we'd ever seen. It was just like, no

323
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: no agenda, no bullshit, you don't have to agree like I,

324
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't understand why we're so obsessed like everyone thinking

325
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the same. To me, that's very weird. I think you're

326
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: a whacko. If you're obsessed with people thinking like you,

327
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: I had no problem. If you don't think like me, whatever,

328
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: who cares. But I do appreciate if you're just true

329
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: to whoever you are, have, have a belief, stick with it,

330
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: and just be open to it, be honest about it.

331
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: And I know Baker's kind of getting crushed for this,

332
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: this interview that he did with Mike. I think he

333
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: just goes by Mike. I call him Mike Stud because

334
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: that was his rapper name when he became early on

335
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: when he left Duke after baseball career. But like I

336
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: appreciate Baker just being open and honest. Calling this a

337
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: controversy would be strong. But Cam Newton because ultimately, like

338
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: ten percent of society is on Twitter, and the only

339
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: place I saw this was on Twitter. Cam Newton made

340
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: some comments about what he looks for in a wife

341
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: for a girlfriend, about how he wants her to cook,

342
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: and Twitter freaked out. I mean, of course Rince Wash

343
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: repeats same ship, And I thought, like the whole thing

344
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton, like h one thing, I hang my

345
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: hat on. I don't care what you do inside your home,

346
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: you your wife, your significant do what you do I

347
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: I never understood people obsessed with other people's relationships. One

348
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: thing we all know. Everyone's different. Some people are swingers.

349
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: Some people the woman makes the money. Some people the

350
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: man makes the money. Some people the woman likes making

351
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: all decisions. Somebody the man makes all the decisions. Every

352
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: fucking relationship is different. Some people that you think would

353
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: be weird, they think you're weird. Everyone's different. I never

354
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: understand when someone says what they look for in a

355
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: significant other, if it's not like they don't want to

356
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: beat them or like commit crimes, but just like personally

357
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: what they like, and then people freak out. I don't

358
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: I can't understand that. It doesn't make any sense to

359
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: me because every single person I know think like the

360
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: ten people closest in your life. Wouldn't you say most

361
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: of their relationships are just a little different. They all

362
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: have their little idiosyncrasies. They all just maybe don't match

363
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: up to your relationships. It doesn't mean it's good, it

364
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's bad. It's just what works for them.

365
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: And listen, I have that Cam was just being honest,

366
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: whether you agree or disagree with, that's what he looks

367
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: for in a significant other. And if you're a woman

368
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: and you don't like it, don't date him. I mean,

369
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: he's not not that complicated. Well, Baker Mayfield, you know,

370
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: was saying all this stuff about disrespect. At least he

371
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: was just telling what he believes, whether he's right or wrong. Like,

372
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: I have no issue with Baker being honest from his perspective,

373
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: and that's all he was. Now whether I don't like

374
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: Baker because I don't like a six six ft average

375
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: athlete kind of you know, lacks a little common sense,

376
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: Like that's I'm not into that. But I actually think

377
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: we've gone too far the other way of now acting

378
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: like he's you know, Nathan Peterman, like he's not some

379
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: scrub when he starts and he's healthy, Like you can't

380
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: compete if you have a good team. We saw it

381
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: two years ago and this notion like no one's gonna

382
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: like him. After watching that, we already knew what he

383
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: was like that They've been talking about maturity or whatever

384
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: for a long time with him. Someone tweeted at me like, godd,

385
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: he looks kind of fat sitting on the couch. Well, yeah,

386
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: as someone that's you know, five tannish uhh, when you're

387
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: not six four angles are very big in pictures. So

388
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: when you're gonna sit on the couch and you have

389
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: a bad angle, it's gonna make you look chubby, so

390
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: you gotta kind of sit up. You know, postures big

391
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: when you're a little shorter and a little more compact.

392
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: But it's not like the NFL thinks he's six ft

393
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: four like they know, like the the NFL part of

394
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: to me, if Baker Mayfield the Deshaun Watson thing had happened,

395
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: let's say after the combine, like it had become official,

396
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna trade him to Houston the contract and hadn't

397
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: kind of dragged out. Now, it kind of had to

398
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: because remember that the grand jury situation when he turned

399
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: out he wasn't getting indicted or whatever the legal verbiage is.

400
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: I probably screwed that up, but so it kind of

401
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: got pushed back. But to me, ultimately, and then the

402
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: de Shaun thing didn't happen, right, you know, in that

403
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: kind of moratorium or even that first day of free agency.

404
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: You know what happened whatever a week after or whatever.

405
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: I think Baker would have been immediately moved. But this

406
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: is kind of a puzzle piece. And once the pieces

407
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: of the puzzle around the league. Cap space drives up.

408
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: Teams don't have like he makes eight basically nineteen million

409
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: dollars a year. It's it's the problem with Jimmy Garoppolo.

410
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: Once it came out of the combine, he had a

411
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: hurt shoulder. It's teams are kind of backing off because

412
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: you have to factor in the money. It's easy to

413
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: trade for five million dollar players, seven million dollar players.

414
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: You'll see in training camp. After guys get drafted and

415
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: maybe like a draft pick that's not fit in the scheme,

416
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 1: or even a guy like a second year player with

417
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: new coaches that doesn't fit. It's easy to trade a

418
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: third round pick that's on the books for one million dollars.

419
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 1: It's not as easy to trade players who whose contracts

420
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: are short, meaning they're not under team control for a while,

421
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: and the number is bigger than like fifteen twenty million dollars.

422
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: It's it's not easy. This is not Major League Baseball,

423
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: where a good player, if he's available, the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Giants, Nats,

424
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: Phillies or whatever, they can do it if they want.

425
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: It's it's it becomes a little more complicated than that,

426
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: But I I I don't understand why the dog looked

427
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: dead this uh r. I p one of my best

428
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: friends growing up, Travis, who passed away a little while ago.

429
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 1: Uh he we uh. When we were in high school,

430
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 1: either ninth grade where I grew up, ninth grade was

431
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: technically still junior high, so are our junior high was seventh, eighth,

432
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: and ninth. But when you were in ninth grade, like

433
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: you played JV football or JV basketball or whatever, so

434
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: you went to high school for sports, but you're but

435
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: in ninth grade you were still at the junior high.

436
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: And you know, edibles now are such a big you know,

437
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: just so readily available like that. When I was a kid,

438
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: if you wanted to get some weed, you had to

439
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: meet some behind like a McDonald's parking lot. You know.

440
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: If if if I want some edibles, the dude pulls up

441
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: to my house and I hand him a credit card

442
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: and it gives me a bag full of animals and

443
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: they're they're in the other room right now. But we

444
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: had these weed candy bars and they were like Snickers

445
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: and Recist, but they were in like you know, funny

446
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: weed names. And his dog, Skeeter, who was a weener dog.

447
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he hit him under his bed or something. And uh,

448
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: the dog eight one of the candy bars, and it's

449
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: obviously it's you know, they're pretty potent. I couldn't. I

450
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to handle them now like they were

451
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: you only eat like half, you would split it with

452
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: someone or eat like just a little piece. Dog eat

453
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Then we looked for the dog, remember

454
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: him calling me, and the dog was just out like

455
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: look like in that Baker Mayfield interview. That dog that's

456
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: what Skeeter looked like. And for like twenty four hours,

457
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: Skeeter did not move. Now, Skeeter lived, made it through it.

458
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: But it was a scary time when I saw that

459
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: dog sitting next to Baker Mayfield. As George Kittle tweeted,

460
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: is the dog okay? Like it's it's hard to move

461
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: your eyes away from the animal who looked like it

462
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: just ate a weed brownie because it could not. It

463
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: didn't budge, it did not move. But Skeeter, uh, yeah,

464
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: it took down that that weed candy bar really fast.

465
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: But I just at the end of the day, Baker

466
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: Mayfield was overdrafted. He shouldn't have gone number one. Overall,

467
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: if we had a redo, he would have gone not

468
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: that high. But he's not that bad of a player,

469
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: and is he does he have some like arrogant, cocky

470
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: vibes for a guy that's probably not good enough to

471
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: have those vibes, Yeah, a little. I mean, would you

472
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 1: rather have like Philip Rivers personality or Drew Brees? Of

473
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: course you would. One reason if you just pulled like

474
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: the average coach, Baker Mayfield win healthy, is a better

475
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: thrower of the football than Jimmy Garoppolo. I don't even

476
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: think it's debatable. But if you just went around offensive coordinators,

477
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: head coaches, like who would you rather have in your

478
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: building Jimmy Garoppolo or Baker Mayfield just the person, not

479
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: the player, it would be Jimmy Garoppolo because, as I

480
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: said about the high ceiling, low floor, like that type

481
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: deal with the draft, you are dealing with people, and

482
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: these people spent so much time around your team, around

483
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: your coaches, around the secretaries, around the people in the cafeteria,

484
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: like you just one thing. Despite these franchises being worth

485
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: billions of dollars, which we saw, the Broncos are gonna

486
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: go for four or four if Snyder's kicked out of

487
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 1: the Commandos. That thing could go for like six I mean,

488
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: these franchises are out rageously uh properly probably worth a

489
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,239
Speaker 1: lot of money because they're guaranteed cash cows right from

490
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: the media deal. Next year you'll get three and fifty million.

491
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: You just pritt and cash. But now, granted, I haven't

492
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: been in an NFL building as an employee, you know,

493
00:24:54,640 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: for whatever, eight nine years now, but they're not that big. Know,

494
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: you got some people on the business side, I don't know,

495
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 1: thirty forty, maybe they've grown a little bit. And then

496
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: your football staff, which is your football coaches, you're scouting staff,

497
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: and that's your trainers the players. Like it's I wouldn't

498
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: call it a mom and pop shop, but it's much

499
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: closer to mom and pop shop than like Apple or

500
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: Google or Walmart or something. I mean, it's it's not

501
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: as big as you think once you're around it, Like

502
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: if you're there a couple of years, you know everybody's name.

503
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: So all these people are interacting with all these people.

504
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly. New England has always felt a

505
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: little cloak and dagger and not really sure what's going

506
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: on there in my in my experience, everyone kind of

507
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: knows everyone. Everyone's friendly. Players are cool with this guy.

508
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: This guy knows this guy. It's just so when you

509
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: get some bad apples and listen, we're all moody. I

510
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: I wake up, you wake up. We all have are

511
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: bad days, Like who's the best guy in sports? Like

512
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, like Drew Brees or something like. Not

513
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: every day is perfect. There's nothing wrong with, you know,

514
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: waking up on the wrong side of the bed and

515
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: being a little angry. That's called being a human. But

516
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: there is. You know, some people are just negative. Some

517
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: people are just kind of don't get a guy. And

518
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: I think that's what everyone's asking themselves right now about Baker.

519
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: But I I didn't his interview, not that I just

520
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: watched some of the clips. I was gonna watch an

521
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: hour and a half of Baker talking to Mike. Not

522
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: bothered by it. If anything, like I appreciate real I

523
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: appreciate you just being authentic. Just be who you are.

524
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: There's nothing you know because ultimately, if you're a team,

525
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: that's who he is, right, that's what you're gonna get.

526
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: Like Cam, like we've known for a while, Cam was

527
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: a guy that I wasn't that big a fan of Honestly,

528
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: he earned a lot of credit and a lot of

529
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: like I, I I turned the corner a little bit. Not

530
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: obviously his play was atrocious, but like he fitted in

531
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: New England. They liked him in New England. Like you

532
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: get along with the Belichick and they think you work

533
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: hard and grind, Like I respect that. It's not I

534
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: don't think I would have lasted in New England. I've

535
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: got to know a couple of people that worked there

536
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 1: for a long time. Like it's hard, I questioned myself,

537
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: Like it was hard. I mean working for the Eagles

538
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: was hard as a mother, just in terms of it

539
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: was intense. We're in the NFL is difficult, long hours, grinding,

540
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: especially when you're young, you're not making any money. But like,

541
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: it's not this is this is just it's a tough business. Uh.

542
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: The a f C West is just going to be

543
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: the most talked about division, at least early on, just

544
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: because the hype behind it is gonna be outrageous. I

545
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,959
Speaker 1: mean it's gonna be really really big and rightfully so,

546
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: I think it will be probably the most hyped division

547
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: we've ever seen in terms of just the talent, and

548
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: it is stupid, but there's no debating it, right, adding

549
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, adding Khalil Mack, adding Davante Adams. Uh, It's

550
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: just it was a really big deal. Like even if

551
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: you hate some of these teams, we all admit it, right,

552
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: we all acknowledge, like, yeah, this this is division is

553
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: pretty pretty dope, pretty badass. There's some pretty sweet teams.

554
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: But Derek Carr, who clearly did not want to leave

555
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: the Raiders, signed a very very team friendly deal with

556
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders because he basically said, I'll take whatever you

557
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: will give me. Because no top quarterbacks who care about

558
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: maximizing their value would assigned that contract. I want to

559
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: say top quarterbacks, I mean like top fifteen guys. Dak

560
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: Prescott got a hundred sixty million dollars, Kirk Cousins keeps

561
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: getting thirty five million dollars a year, guaranteed, guaranteed, guaranteed, guaranteed.

562
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: Derek basically got million dollars guaranteed. Now, when you're a quarterback,

563
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: you basically see every penny like Jimmy Garoppolo got I

564
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: think it was seventy two million dollars guaranteed from the

565
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: Niners years ago. Through his contract, he's made a hundred

566
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: and twelve million dollars. So when you're a quarterback, you

567
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: unlike a lot of these other positions where they're constantly

568
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: moving on from your cutting restructuring. For the most part,

569
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks see the majority of their money in their contract.

570
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: So why Matt Ryan's You know, guys like that are

571
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: so Eli Manning, Peyton Manning. When you look at their

572
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: contract history, Ben Roethlisberger, they saw every penny of their deals.

573
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Mahomes, the Josh Allen's, the Staffords. These guys

574
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: are making so much money most of these other positions

575
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: that guaranteed cash is really all you truly know you're

576
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: getting because a moment things can change. But I'm gonna

577
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: keep saying this. Someone is not going to live up

578
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: to the hype. There is going to be a team

579
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: the likelihood that all four of these teams, which I

580
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: guess is possible, but let's face it is very very

581
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: unlikely because one they all play each other, and two

582
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: it would just be hard for all of them to

583
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: get to ten wins. So someone in this division, and

584
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: I just do not think it's gonna be the chiefs

585
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: Now I know they might come back to earth. And

586
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: when we say that a little bit, instead of being

587
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: a thirteen win team or twelve win team, they're a

588
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: ten win team. But to me, they're gonna be good.

589
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: They have the best coach in the division and the

590
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the division. When you have those two things,

591
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: you win. If I had a guess right now and

592
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: put my money where my mouth was, I'd say the

593
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs win eleven games that that would be my guess.

594
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: But one of these other teams is gonna go eight

595
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: nine now, like for the Raiders. Josh McDaniels, who is

596
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: put on a little lbies which happens. You know, you know,

597
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: you're not the tallest guy. You gotta be careful you're eating,

598
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe cut the carbs or whatever. Is clearly

599
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: a really really good offensive coordinator, really good. I mean

600
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: he was. He's an impressive offensive coordinator. Even if you

601
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: hate the Patriots, you'd acknowledge that. But being a head coach,

602
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: we saw it one time. Now granted it was a

603
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: long time ago. It was a disaster. He didn't even

604
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: make it two years, Like he got run out of town,

605
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: like it just they now he's quote unquote changed. Seems

606
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: like he's much more confident in just being himself and

607
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: not trying to be Bill. But who knows? Can he

608
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: be the head coach? They have a really good team.

609
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: They made the playoffs last year. They brought back a

610
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: ton of guys. They still have their quarterback, they trade

611
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: for Davanta Adams, but their offensive line sucks. They don't

612
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: have any picks. How how do you just get right tackles?

613
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: How do you find a center? Like? How do you

614
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: improve those positions? It's hard. I guess you coach them up,

615
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: the guys you have, But what if they're just not

616
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: good enough the Broncos? Like, what if Russell Wilson another

617
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: guy who looks again, I'm pretty I understand guys that

618
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: are six feet and under. I could judge their chubbiness.

619
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Looks a little chubby too, you know. And it's what

620
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: if he's just not as good as he once was?

621
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: And as I said earlier, like I'm a Russell Wilson fan.

622
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: I think he's the first ballot Hall of Famer, But

623
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: what if his trajectory's pointing the other way? You never know,

624
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: like it happens. Not everyone is just guaranteed to have

625
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: eighteen great years and then what if their head coach

626
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: is just over his head. I don't know. I'm rooting

627
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: for him, Davis, guy bald, but a ton of pressure

628
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: once this thing sells for four billion dollars, Can you coach?

629
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: Can you figure it out? I don't know. We're about

630
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: to find out. The general manager, who we've seen pretty good,

631
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't impact really the week of once the season starts.

632
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: When you're a general manager, you actually don't have that

633
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: much impact during the season unless you're like a sirio

634
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: and in the booth. But you're not scheming, you know,

635
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: I guess you can. You know if you have the

636
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: jews to tell the guy who to play or who

637
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: not to play. But you're still you're not calling the

638
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: plays or telling that guy where to line up. You're

639
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: not coaching him unless you're balky, and then you love

640
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: coaching guys up on the field. But and let's face it,

641
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers won the three of their franchise like they

642
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: underachief they no one can dispute. Over the last couple

643
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: of decades, they have had so many teams with a

644
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: ton of talent that have just gone seven and nine,

645
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: gone six and ten, gone eight and night underachieved. When

646
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers, I think an underachieving franchise and

647
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: really starts at the top. They have an owner who

648
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: is just incredibly cheap um and just hasn't been a

649
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 1: good owner period, point blank, end of story. And they

650
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: have a coach who, you know, so I think sometimes

651
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: things is the smartest guy in the room and does this,

652
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, kind of reckless fourth down bullshit that didn't work.

653
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: And you can be like, well, John, you're nitpicking, got it?

654
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: One of some games, well yeah, and some of the

655
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: biggest games of your season against the Chiefs at halftime,

656
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, he goes for it, gets stuff, costs himself

657
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: four points or three points. Uh. At the end of

658
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: the season with the with the literally the playoffs on

659
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: the line, he went forward on his own two or

660
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: eight team yard line. He had eighty eight or whatever.

661
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: I can't I'm not a mathematician plus twelve. Yeah, who

662
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: does that? Brandon Stalley does. So this notion that I

663
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: just feel good about him, I just don't, because I

664
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: do feel good ready about the quarterback. Justin if you

665
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: told me that people would take Herbert, if you drafted

666
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: the entire NFL, there would be a couple of general

667
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: managers in the league, and it's this has never happened

668
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: in the history of sports, but it's a great talking point.

669
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: Like what if we just did a draft from scratch,

670
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 1: put every player in there, depending on there would be

671
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: someone who would take Herbert number one. Overall. I'm not

672
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: saying that the right move. Obviously Mahomes accomplished more Josh Allen,

673
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: hell even Lamar, but I don't think it's the craziest thing,

674
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: and I don't think I would do it. I'd probably

675
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: just take my homes uh and then i'd probably take

676
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 1: Josh Allen second, but i'd probably take Herbert third. You know,

677
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: it's and the gap between those guys and him, it's

678
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: not as far as I think the average person thinks.

679
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: But the pressure on that franchise is gonna be immense.

680
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: They play in the building with the Super Bowl champs.

681
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: I know they actually never play at the same time,

682
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: but even though I think the a f C and

683
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: NFC West played each other next year, so that means

684
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: that that game is gonna be It's so fi it's

685
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: irrelevant who's you know, home or away, Like that game's

686
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: in l A that's that's actually a really good game

687
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: Ramps Chargers. But I just I don't know. I I

688
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: don't have a great feel for like what team I'm

689
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: betting against. As crazy as it sounds, you know, the Broncos.

690
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: To me, I just I don't know. I think it's

691
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of pressure on a guy that's

692
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: never been a head coach. You had Russell Wilson, Like

693
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: ultimately Josh McDaniels has pressure. Of course he does. I mean,

694
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: that's just the NFL, right, But you know the Raiders,

695
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: it's not like he's getting fired anytime soon. I mean,

696
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: the last coach they had got a ten year contract.

697
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: The only reason you got fired is because of the

698
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: commandos leaking his emails, right or the NFL or whoever.

699
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why Gruden Sewing like Mark Davis, was

700
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: never gonna fire John Bruton. You know, Brandon Saley. I

701
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: can say that, Like listen, I thought Week seventeen or eighteen,

702
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: who're in a Week eighteen last year against the Raiders,

703
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: we fireball offense. I mean, he had dramatically the better team.

704
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't even close. He lost to go he ended

705
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: up not in the playoffs. Like, that's that cannot happen.

706
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: I I can't take you seriously when that happens. But

707
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: Dean Spanos ain't paying you to go away, so he's

708
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Like the pressure on Nate Hackett gonna

709
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: be a brand new owner who paid a ton of money.

710
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure Russell over the next couple of months is

711
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna get an enormous contract. The hype on that franchise

712
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be massive. They're doing all these parallels to

713
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: like when they traded for Peyton Manning and he resurrected

714
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: the franchise. Can Russell do that now? S buckle up, man?

715
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: I think that thing could get weird the fastest, um,

716
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: just because, let's face it, here's the other thing, Like ultimately,

717
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Davante Adams pretty eay to work with, right,

718
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: Justine Herbert pretty low key guy, pretty easy to work with.

719
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack pretty easy guy to work with. Russell Wilson.

720
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: Google the history of offensive coaches that have worked Russell Wilson.

721
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all of his offensive coordinators they become head coaches.

722
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that's that's Peyton Manning, that's Tom Brady, that's

723
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Russell's all get fired, Russell's careers end. Do

724
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: you know the craziest part about Russell Wilson is that

725
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: if you're an offensive coordinator for him, Historically, most great

726
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks Drew Berries, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Mahomes, Josh Allen,

727
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: they get there. You want to be the offensive coordinator

728
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: for great players because you become a head coach. You

729
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: quadruple five, six, eight x your salary. When you coach

730
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterbacks, it's basically guaranteed. Mike Shanahan, Steve Young, Boom,

731
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, Tom Brady, boom Right, every coach Peyton, Manning,

732
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: Boom Hell, Andrew Lock, Bruce arians Boom Yet first whatever reason,

733
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, you can go through all of these offensive coordinators,

734
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: they all get fired. Bevil, Schottenheimer, whoever the last guy

735
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: just was? I can't even think about it. Uh not Schottenheimer, Bevil,

736
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: Those might have been the last us too. There's another

737
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 1: one mixed in there, Shane Waldron. I mean I thought

738
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: actually might get fired, and Russell came back. So you

739
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: just the Russell thing. Let's not act like you just

740
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: guaranteed to win when you coach him, and obviously Nate

741
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: Hackett is calling the place. It's not easy because this

742
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: is no ship. I think the social media push, which

743
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe Russell's people are pushing it, like let

744
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: him cook, let him cook, let him cook. That's that

745
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: ain't gonna die. I mean, that's like when I think

746
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's like, everyone's never shuts up about letting him cook.

747
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: You know, and listen. Sometimes when he's cooking, he makes

748
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: an incredible meal. But last year, for the first time,

749
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: you're like, you know, I don't know if I don't

750
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: know if i'd eat this meal. Let's uh, let's let's

751
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: back up there a little in the kitchen. Let's head

752
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: to the microwave. So that'll probably wrap this bad boy up.

753
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: Keep a short sweet, enjoy the weekend while the mail

754
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: bag come out. Uh, I guess Saturday and Sunday at
