49
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: the mail bag, what I gotta tell you about is

50
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: my friends at game Time, the official ticketing app of

51
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: this podcast. They are loyal partners, great partners, and most importantly,

52
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: people I've used for a long long time. And the

53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: number one thing I would say is that going to games,

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: going to concerts are fun. You all know that. I

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: know that, and with Game Time it's made it so

56
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: much easier. Hockey games, baseball games, basketball games, concerts. Do

57
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: you want to go to a concert this summer? Every

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: one it feels like it's going on tour. And I

59
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: cannot recommend using these guys. I've seen probably six or

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: seven concerts because of them. Pick my seat, the price point,

61
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: the angle to the stage. It does not get any

62
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,320

69
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: shot me Instagram messages. I don't know you guys personally,

70
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: but you follow and hit me up. I got engaged

71
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: a couple days ago, so exciting times in my house.

72
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: I've had the ring at my house for probably like

73
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: twenty ish days. The week I got sick kind of

74
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: derailed it. It's a lot of pressure, you know, and

75
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: part of its, you know, social media and Instagram. You

76
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: want to have a video for her. And my brother

77
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: came into town after a bender he had in Cabo,

78
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: and I utilized him and he got the video. I

79
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: just said we were taking a picture and I posted

80
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, and a lot of you

81
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: guys have sent me messages and I appreciate that. And

82
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: we're going home to California, be with my family, have

83
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: a party and go to Tahoe and kind of hang

84
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: out for a couple of weeks. So thanks again, and

85
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: she's excited. I'm excited life happens. You know, I'm probably

86
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: one of all the people I know. I'm thirty nine

87
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: years old. Most of my friends that I grew up

88
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: with or went to college with all have children and

89
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: are either married or not married but have kids. And

90
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: most of them are married. Uh, and I just you know,

91
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: I didn't meet the right person to get married, and yeah,

92
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: pretty career driven, it just didn't happen. And then you

93
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: meet someone you can't put a timeline on it. There

94
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: there were times when I probably, you know, I could.

95
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: I guess I could have forced it, but uh, not

96
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: with her. I just mean, I'm just glad this is

97
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: the person that I ended up with the right time

98
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: in my life. And they say timing is a big deal,

99
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: and I think it's true. You know, I was ready

100
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: to settle down. Even though I've been settled. I'm not

101
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: a I'm more much more of a homebody. But uh,

102
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: it's exciting. And I want to thank her Grandma for

103
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: you contributed a family diamond to the to the mix

104
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: and made the process very very enjoyable, but the reality is,

105
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how it worked way back in the

106
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: day or even everyone's different. And she picked the ring,

107
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: so it's like, did she know what was coming? Well, yeah,

108
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: she went with me to the engagement store. I bought

109
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: the ring that she wanted, so yeah, she knew what

110
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: was coming. I don't know what to buy. I would

111
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: have bought her like a you know, one of those

112
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: rings with the diamond sugar, the pop, you know, the

113
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: diamond ring. I wouldn't have done that, but I would

114
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: add no clue. A couple of times in the engagement store.

115
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that looks pretty good. She's like,

116
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: that looks terrible. I'm like, I got no fucking clue.

117
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: Pick whatever you want. I don't know rings. I don't

118
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: know what looks good, what looks bad. She picked it,

119
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: so when people go she knew. Yeah, hell yeah, she knew.

120
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: She went with me. But I'm engaged, excited, fired up,

121
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: feel our process. Probably you know, we bought a house,

122
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: she remodeled it all, so it's you know, it's not

123
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: like we're getting married then moving in together. We've lived

124
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: together now for probably year and a half, so probably

125
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: not much. I guess will change beside official title, and

126
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, potential unborn children will become born children. But

127
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: exciting times. I'm very very I'm happy. Okay, let's go

128
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: to the mailbag. This was a report from CBS that

129
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: the Eagles in twenty twelve. I would have been there,

130
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: but I wasn't going to the meetings with Howie and

131
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Andy for these type of conversations. Tried maniacally to trade

132
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: with the Colts for Andrew Luck in the twenty twelve draft.

133
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: Now he just sent me a screenshot of CBS posted

134
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: on Instagram. The one part of the story I saw

135
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: is they were hoping that the Colts would resign Peyton

136
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: Manning and then wouldn't need Andrew Luck and could have

137
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: basically a you know, a host of bidding war. Now

138
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. They cut Peyton Manning. He went to

139
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: be the biggest free agent one of them, of my

140
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: entire life, and the rest is history. They took Andrew Luck.

141
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: I know this after Michael Vick's twenty ten year and

142
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: then the twenty eleven experience. He got injured a lot.

143
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: It was clear that it was pretty risky the way

144
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: he played to try to play it out over a long,

145
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: long period of time that it wasn't going to be sustainable.

146
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty sure that they were very aggressive with

147
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. I think they he liked Archie three a

148
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: lot too, and tried to make a trade for him.

149
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: But that's what you do when you're in a quarterback

150
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: situation where your quarterback isn't good enough and you have

151
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: the guys in a draft that you think are gonna

152
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: be legit, you should try to move heaven and earth

153
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: to acquire that player because if he does become Andrew

154
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 1: Luck changes your franchise. Now, this question was would Coach

155
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: Reed still be with the Eagles if Luck was the quarterback.

156
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: This is a hard hypothetical because Andrew Luck ended up

157
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: retiring early. But part of the reason he retired early

158
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: was because he got destroyed behind a bad offensive line. Now,

159
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: it was also part of the way he played. He

160
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: was a little reckless. But I don't know. I couldn't

161
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: say with a straight facing yes, you would say. One

162
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: thing Andy is great at historically is building offensive lines.

163
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: He's an offensive lineman at heart, and he cares a

164
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: lot about those positions. Those five guys are a big

165
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: part of his operation best in the line of scrimmage.

166
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: So would Andrew Luck have had better offensive lines if

167
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: Andy Reid would have ran the show. Would Andrew Luck

168
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: still have gotten banged up and been retired early? Possibly?

169
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: You never know, So I don't know. I would say

170
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: this if you looked at Andy Reid right now and said,

171
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: would you like the opportunity to coach Andrew Luck and

172
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: stay with the Eagles or have gone to Kansas City

173
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: and gone through the Alex Smith experience. To Patrick Mahomes,

174
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty no brainer the way it

175
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: ultimately worked out, and it shows you, like part of

176
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: what's cool about the draft is that there was a

177
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: lot of almost there are a million conversations every year

178
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: about potential trades. It's like Brandon. I Yuke's all caught

179
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: up like Brandon. They're having conversations. This is the reason

180
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: that you're gonna make seventy eighty million dollars. Basically every

181
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: player is in conversations unless you're like a top twenty

182
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: player in the NFL. Like no one's calling the Steelers

183
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: about TJ. Watt, no one's calling the Cowboys about Micah Parsons.

184
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: But like there are less than probably twenty nine quarterbacks.

185
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: The Vikings got calls on Jessin Jefferson. You know, Brandon

186
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: Ayuk's all emotional, and I get it. It's tough because

187
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: it's a business, but it's also he is the business.

188
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: But it's like, bro, like, ain't Jerry Rice really good player?

189
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna make a ton of money. But that story

190
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: that came out last week that John Lynch and Kyle

191
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: Shanahan meet with him, I wonder if it crosses John

192
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: Lynch's mind sometimes, Like I could probably Terry Bradshaw retires.

193
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: I could make five million bucks be one of Fox's

194
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: main studio hosts. I even go to games and live

195
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: an easier life. Instead, I gotta leave vacation to meet

196
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: with Brandon Ayuk because he's mad that we're offering him

197
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty six and a half million dollars a year.

198
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: God.

199
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: I like Brandon Ayuk, But Geez Louis's thing scotten little

200
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: Like we're not talking about Randy Moss here, but it's

201
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: part of the big and it's part of what he

202
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: signed up for. So gotta deal with this stuff, and

203
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: it's usually wide receivers. They dealt with it with Debo.

204
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: Now they're dealing with Brandon Nyuk. Yeah, question for the pod.

205
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: Loved that you were a big Peyton Manning fan. I

206
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: was too, even went to his camp in high school

207
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: and met the guy. I heard you say Manning was

208
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: bad in the playoffs. When I said bad, it was

209
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: relative to the way he had played in the regular season.

210
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: He underwhelmed because he played like a ten out of

211
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: ten in the regular season, and then he'd watched the

212
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: playoffs and some of those big losses, it didn't quite

213
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: look the same. And though I agree with that, I

214
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: do attribute quite a bit of the bad luck and

215
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: bad defense in a lot of those years. I'm with you,

216
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: their defense let him down. I think Peyton is the

217
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: best regular season quarterback of all time. My question is this,

218
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: If Brady, Peyton, Manning, and Patrick Mahomes were all on

219
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: the same team in their prime, with the same career

220
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: achievements at the same time, who do you think wins

221
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: the starting job. I just have a hard time thinking

222
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: anyone could beat Peyton out. He was just too anal

223
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: and in charge. That's a great way to put it, actually,

224
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: because we constantly argue who's better Mahomes or Lamar this year? Right,

225
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: Who's better Lebron or Michael. What if they're on the

226
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: same team in their prime and you can only start one.

227
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: Who you starting, I would say depends on the coach.

228
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: I think Andy Reid would without hesitation, choose his guy

229
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: much more athletic than the other two guys can freelance.

230
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: He's a little more artistic, and Andy's a more artistic guy.

231
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: When you look at Bill, who is much more regimented,

232
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: do exactly like we tell you, play within the confine

233
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: of our offense because we're gonna coach so well. I

234
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: actually think he would go with Tom because Peyton was

235
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: like telling you practices the way they were run in

236
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: the early two thousands, So in a weird way, I

237
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: think it's very dependent on the coach. Now, if you

238
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: had most defensive guys like a Mike Tomlin, a John Harbaugh,

239
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: a Pete Carroll, where they have nothing to do with

240
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: the offensive play caller, and honestly they don't want that

241
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: much to do with the offense, I think they would

242
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: have loved Paid Manning because it's basically like just having

243
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator and your star coach. Obviously Tom became that,

244
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: but Peyton became that really really quick so I think

245
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: if you have one of these crazy generals that wanted

246
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: exactly like they're telling you the way Parcels coached and

247
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: the way Belichick coach, no brainer, Tom Brady, if you

248
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: kind of like a little freelance, I look kind of

249
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: like that, right, Mike Holmgrin, Andy Reid, the Grudens like

250
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: that McVeigh. They would love Patrick Mahomes. They like a

251
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: little more athletic guy. I think what's interesting is who

252
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: would Kyle Shanahan like the most. I think he'd probably

253
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: go Tom Brady because Peyton Manning would butt heads too

254
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: often and play calls, and I think Tom Brady would

255
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: do what he was told, even though he obviously would

256
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: have power at the line of scrimmage. But and this

257
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: seems like in a weird way, you're criticizing different guys.

258
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, I think you could argue

259
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: that that Patrick Mahomes is already a top five quarterback

260
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: of all time. Tom's obviously one, and I think Peyton

261
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: Manning easily is a top five quarterback of all time.

262
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: If I had to do my top five quarterbacks of

263
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: all time, I would go Tom Brady. I would go

264
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: Joe Montana. I would go Peyton Manning and John Elway,

265
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: and I think the fifth is up for debate Marino.

266
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: It's weird because it's easy for me to go l

267
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Way because he had so much s. I mean, he

268
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: went to five Super Bowls, he won two. Marino didn't

269
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: have as much, but anyone that played football said he's

270
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: like the greatest talent to ever play. I saw Farv

271
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: and his prime was about as good as a got.

272
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: I think like a three four year stretch of Steve

273
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: Young was all time elite. I think that'd kind of

274
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: be the group. I think most people would go like

275
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: Marino far of Young. I'm talking like eighties on. Obviously

276
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: there's you know, the United Is guy. I can't even

277
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: speak with a straight face on those guys. But in

278
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: my lifetime, born in eighty four on, I kind of

279
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: think it's that crew, Brady Montana, Elway, I forgot Rogers.

280
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: You could throw him in there as well. He'd be fascinating.

281
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: Like are you putting Aaron? Is Aaron Rodgers a better

282
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: player than Brett Farv, right? But I feel like Brett

283
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: Farv is more universally kind of enjoyable to watch, if

284
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: that's fair, But maybe not I don't know, Rogers, better

285
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: player than Young, probably better player.

286
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: Than far.

287
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: Who else did I list Marino? That's a pretty good

288
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: like four through nine. This is from Matt. Congrats on

289
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: the engagement. Appreciate you, buddy. Second, I'd like to hear

290
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: you discuss the NFL trade market. I've been recently thinking

291
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: about the potential fireworks at the deadline as talk of

292
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: baseball season heats up and my Orioles desperately need some pitching.

293
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: The season could be an interesting opportunity for teams to

294
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: make moves at the deadline. In the NFL, we've seen

295
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: teams make franchise altering additions with recent acquisitions like Christian

296
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: mccaffert elevating the Niners run game to new heights, or

297
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: Roe Qwan Smith solidifying the middle of Baltimore's defense. Is

298
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: there a more clear difference in contenders and non contenders?

299
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: Could we see movement on game changers Bengals starts slow

300
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: with rehabbing Burrow and Higgins or Hendrix becomes available. I

301
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: think the hard part about the trade deadline in the

302
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: sport of football is you never know who's gonna be good. Right,

303
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: let me rephrase that, you know teams are gonna be good,

304
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be random teams that are good, and

305
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: then their players are off limits, and then they're in

306
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: the by mode. Right the reason it's only good teams,

307
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: I guess it's like this in baseball, two that are

308
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: in the market to acquire those guys. Howie's made a

309
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: ton of deals over the years. The Niners have made

310
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: multiple deals Jimmy Garoppolo and Christian McCaffrey that were game

311
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: changing moves for them. The Rams traded for Von Miller,

312
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, Maybe I'm just it's the middle

313
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: of the summer and I'm not super like thinking about

314
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: this much. Was it Roquan before the season? I don't

315
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: remember him being traded at the trade deadline, but maybe

316
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: you just talking trades in general. I also think you

317
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: never truly know. It's hard, like if you're Howie Roseman

318
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: or John Lynch or Andy Reid, like you get random

319
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: guys or rookies that fill a void that you might

320
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: think you have right now. And that's the big part

321
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: of training camp. And obviously the first month and a

322
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: half of the season is like, actually, this rookie's pretty good.

323
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: We actually don't need a right guard, or we don't

324
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: need a corner. The second year guy's a legit nickel now,

325
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: or this rookie is gonna catch seventy five balls. Our

326
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: receiver depth is better than I thought. That's the hard

327
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: part about football is so many young guys and second

328
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: year guys take big jumps and fill needs and fill

329
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: voids that you think you have maybe in the spring,

330
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: or you were unsure of because you don't know till

331
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: pads come on. And every year you would have been like, God,

332
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup's gonna have a bad season. Right if I

333
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: would have told you that at this time last year,

334
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is gonna be banged up, He's not gonna

335
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: be a huge, big a factor as he's been. But

336
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna be awesome. Stafford's gonna have a

337
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: great year and they're gonna make the playoffs. He'd be like,

338
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: did they trade for Mike Evans or something. He'd be like, no,

339
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: this dude named Puka Nakua comes in and shatters records

340
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: and you just don't know. And that's where I think, like,

341
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna be bad Carolina? Well? Are they gonna be

342
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: in the selloff move? If they're not sniffing the playoffs.

343
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: The Giants, even if they're bad, who are they trading.

344
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: They're not trading the D lineman. They're not trading neighbors.

345
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: Saquan is not even on the team anymore. Obviously they're

346
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna be guys. They creep up. But it's really, really hard.

347
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: Baseball is a good example. If some star players on

348
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: some shitty team before the season starts, you know that

349
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: team's gonna suck. Kind Of the same teams in baseball

350
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: right now, right Phillies, Dodgers, Yankees, your Oriols have been

351
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: good for a couple of years now. It's not really

352
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: the Indians. It's not really randos in football. They're just randos.

353
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: And they're also random players because a fourth round pick,

354
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're like, God, we got one

355
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: pass rusher. We need more help at the d line.

356
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, your second round pick has

357
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: ten sacks. And that's what's cool about football, and that's

358
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: what's cool about the draft is on draft night, even

359
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: though you don't know the names that well, once you

360
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: get to like the third day, by the week six,

361
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: you're like, God, I love our fifth round pick. This

362
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: middle linebacker we got makes every tackle or god, this

363
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: DB's awesome. Where do we get this guy a six round?

364
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: So you just never know. Hey, John big fan, congratulations

365
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: on getting married. How long has it been in the works?

366
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: Did you know how and where you're gonna ask her?

367
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: Were you nervous the moment? I'd say been in the works,

368
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: I mean probably a year plus. Uh, think about it.

369
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: For a long long time. I knew she was gonna

370
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: be the girl I was gonna marry a long time ago.

371
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: But the proposal, in anyone listening to this, it is

372
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: depending on if you hire a photographer, someone that maybe

373
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: a family member. If you're having like a family party

374
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: right after, probably a little easy to orchestrate ours. Because

375
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: we're going home next week. One thing I was not

376
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: gonna do is take the ring home. If the ring's

377
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: going home, it's going on her hand. I am not

378
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: putting that in a travel bag. I'm not carrying in

379
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: my pocket. I am not southwest all of a sudden

380
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: some dude mess on my bags as an expensive rent.

381
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: Not gonna happen. She was getting it one way or

382
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: the other. I was joking with her a couple weeks ago.

383
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 1: We're having a few cocktails, like, what if I use

384
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: the security cameras of the house they were in twenty

385
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: four to seven, the high quality. She didn't like that idea.

386
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: So once my brother was coming from Cabo and was

387
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: staying for a week and we were gonna play golf

388
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: in the morning, I was like, let's go to dinner,

389
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: and I told him, actually the day of I'm gonna

390
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: need you to get this on camera. So as we're

391
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: walking to dinner, I said, let's get a picture. It's

392
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: a cool place called the Princess right behind where they

393
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: have the waste management. Looks really good on camera, and

394
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: he just got a video. I was definitely nervous. I

395
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: actually slammed a beer before we went to dinner because

396
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: I was kind of it was antsy. And then when

397
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: I was waiting there was a monsoon. So I'm like,

398
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be screwed. There's gonna be a driving rainstorm

399
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: as we're walking and it's not like you gotta walk

400
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: outside to get to this restaurant. What am I gonna do? Who?

401
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden they kind of cleared

402
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: up and it worked out pretty well. Question for the mailbag,

403
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: what is the most exhilarating bet that you won on

404
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: a game in terms of you sweating it and getting

405
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: the high from it. What was the most excruciating and

406
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: painful bet you've ever lost? Doesn't have to be the money, uh.

407
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: I would say that both within the last couple of

408
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: years the Super Bowl. This year, I probably got let

409
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: my emotions speak putting money on the Niners. It should

410
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: have been a stay away, and clearly the correct money

411
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: was you bet on Patrick Mahomes as an underdog. But

412
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: I simply thought Chiefs have already won a couple the

413
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: Niners got back, they had been beside the Raven game,

414
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: had been the best team all season long. This Chiefs

415
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: team is not a great offense. This is the Niners time.

416
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: And I'm not Dave Portnoy here. I put five thousand

417
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: dollars on a game. That's a lot of money, and

418
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: that sucked. It sucked, not only because I lost the

419
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: game in overtime the way I lost it with a

420
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: dude wide open. It just it sucked. But also it

421
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: was just there was never a time where you felt

422
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: good about it. But they had the lead and then

423
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: they get the ball first in overtime, which is highly

424
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: debated that was I had the same amount of money.

425
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: I had a ten grand two week stretch that I

426
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: said goodbye, Hello, DraftKings. Enjoy my ten thousand dollars. I

427
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: knew the Ravens game was over in five minutes, and

428
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: any gambler knows that there are moments when you know

429
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: quick you go. I regret that that's dumb. And one

430
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: of the reasons I bet on the Ravens was obviously

431
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: watch them all season, but that night against the Niners,

432
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: when they treated him like a JV team, I like,

433
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: this team ain't losing. But I didn't sweat that bet

434
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: at all. They never never felt like they were gonna

435
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: win the game. The Niners game was Rory McElroy a

436
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: couple of years ago at the Open. This is probably

437
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: when I first started betting four figures. If he would

438
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: have won. Now, I don't think I had as much

439
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: because golf the odds, I would have won like sixty

440
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars, And there was a moment on Sunday

441
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: where I'm like, Roy mclroy is gonna win the win

442
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: the Open Championship, and at the time sixty six would

443
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 1: have been easily the biggest win I ever had. And

444
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: then he made nothing. Camp Smith made all these putts

445
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: and somehow Roy Damon finished second. I would say the

446
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: best sweat I've ever had, because it's the most money

447
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: I've ever made on an individual game. The Bryson bet

448
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: is the biggest bet I've ever hit, but that's a parlay.

449
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Was the Washington Texas game, and I even pushed out.

450
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: I said I was gonna put ten k on the

451
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: money line. What I ended up doing is I only

452
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: put eight, and I think forty five hundred went on

453
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: the point spread, and then the other three went on

454
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: the money line. I ended up making eight or nine

455
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, but I got cold feet going Draftking sports

456
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: Books right down the street from my house, and I

457
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: remember taking my cash. I was like, I don't know

458
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: if I can really do. And I've never believed in

459
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: a game more in my entire life ever, any sport

460
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: ever was more confident, and they were working them and

461
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: it was just like at one point in time in

462
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: the second half, like this is this is easy. And

463
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: then by the end Texas had a chance, I'm pretty

464
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: sure to win the game, and I was pacing. I

465
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: wasn't close to having a heart attack, but I would

466
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: have been far away. That would have sucked. But it

467
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: was an incredible high the Bryce. And I've said this

468
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: cool a couple of people. I only had one hundred

469
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars on the line. So to me, I

470
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: sweat and get into a bet when I have a

471
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: lot to lose, right stock market, If I have a

472
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: lot of money in a stock and it's down, like

473
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: you kind of feel it. If I have fifty dollars

474
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: on a stock weather goes up or down, who cares?

475
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: So when Bryson won, it was it was awesome, like

476
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm not turning down eighteen k here, but I didn't.

477
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: I was more into the golf tournament than sweating. If

478
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: I just would have had if I would add ten

479
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: grand on Bryson right of my own money to win

480
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: eighteen k, obviously those wouldn't have been the odds. But

481
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: let's just say that I would have sweated a lot more.

482
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: I would have been a wreck. I don't get very antsy.

483
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: I've hit a few parlays over my years. I'm not

484
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: afraid to lose it. You put five K on a game,

485
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: or ten k or whatever's relative. If its five hundred dollars,

486
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: a lot to you or a hundred bucks do you

487
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: start sweating? Man? But that's the I don't get that business.

488
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean lucky you have some success in business podcasts

489
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: going well, I don't get highs from that. It doesn't

490
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: do anything for me. It's like, that's the expectations what

491
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: we're doing. We're doing deals, trying to make money here

492
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: gambling there's something it brings you back to, like when

493
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: you're playing high school football or something you're winning or

494
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: losing and this means a lot to my bank account hopefully,

495
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: or draftkicks. I was down because of that bad playoff stretch,

496
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: and I've actually had a couple couple bad weeks golfing betting.

497
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: I was in the hole like eleven thousand dollars on

498
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: the year, which sucks. And then you hit that bryceon

499
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: bet and now you're in the positive about seven, so

500
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: that that feels good. Nil question for you. If a

501
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: school gets hit with sanctions and has to forfeit some scholarships,

502
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: what is stopping the school or some businesses from offering

503
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: an nil deal that just happens to cover tuition and housing.

504
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: Example northwest Central Alaska state, what a name doesn't have

505
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: any tree climbing scholarships due to some ill timed recruiting trips.

506
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: Due to this, they say, we can give you a

507
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: scholar We can't give you a scholarship, but we have

508
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: Salmon Incorporated who will pay you fifty thousand dollars a

509
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: year tuition that will be used to pay for your

510
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: schooling and everything else. I'm pretty sure it's allowed. It's

511
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: why I was reading an article recently. I don't think

512
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: walk ons are going to exist much longer in college football,

513
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: which sucks. But their rosters still might be ninety or

514
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: one hundred, but they'll all be scholarship guys. And I

515
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: think a big reason was I'm still a little confused.

516
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: I know the Laane Kiff and Kirby Smart they offered

517
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: to give money back of their own contracts because they

518
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: hated the idea. And I don't know enough about it.

519
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: So some of you guys that follow this sport, maybe

520
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm speaking, you know, just stupidity here. This is just

521
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: not accurate. But I wonder if it's because I can

522
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: just get a walk on and I can just compensate them.

523
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: That's what's happening with all the like baseball. You know

524
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: the reason the SEC is dominating the sport of college baseball.

525
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, the Pac twelve and even

526
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: the conference where I went to school, cal Paly, it's

527
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: cal State Fullerton, cal State Irvine, u See, Riverside, Santa Barbara. Like,

528
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: these teams used to be really good and they used

529
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: to go to College World Series. Well, now the SEC goes.

530
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: We have all the football money. So if you play

531
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: baseball at Tennessee, I'm pretty sure you make one hundred grand,

532
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: whether you're on a half scholarship, whether you're on a

533
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: full scholarship, or whether on no scholarship. So whether you're

534
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: on scholarship or not, if I get one hundred grand,

535
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be paid for every year. And I get

536
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: to play at Tennessee and I still got extra money.

537
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: My parents are a student. I don't need anything. I'm

538
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: telling you. The SEC is running circles around everybody in

539
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: football and in golf, and really the you know Clemson,

540
00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 1: now Florida State, North Carolina, those schools because of their

541
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: football programs, the money they're generating, I don't think these

542
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: West Coast schools have a chance. IDEA question for the mailbag.

543
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: Is there a world in which the NFL buys the

544
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: new UFL expands it so there is one UFL for

545
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: each NFL team. Each team is basically a minor league

546
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: affiliate of the NFL that they are attached to. They

547
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: would play their season in the spring, but operations wise,

548
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: they would operate like baseball's minor league system. A fun

549
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: little twist could be the spring league affiliate team could

550
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: have their practice facility near and play their games out

551
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: of the nearest big time college football program. For example,

552
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: the Packers affiliate could play in Madison at Camp Randall.

553
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: The Titans affiliate could play in Knoxville. Probably not realistic,

554
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: but thought experier. Here's the thing, guys, whether you're a

555
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 1: business worth one hundred thousand dollars or one worth ten billion,

556
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: like all these NFL teams are now five to ten

557
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: billion whatever, they don't need to in Curry's costs, So

558
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense. I got news for

559
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: you that would work. The USFL, who I think I

560
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: called the UFL. I can't keep track of all the names,

561
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: but whatever league Fox had this spring was drawing like

562
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: a million people to watch some of their games, which

563
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: Google a lot of sports main sniff in that number,

564
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: especially These are games no one knows anything about. But

565
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: the NFL has College Football Georgia in Alabama. They pay

566
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart and Nick Saban twelve to fifteen million dollars

567
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: to get guys ready for their sport, or Ryan Day

568
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: or Lincoln Riley or whoever. They don't have to pay

569
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: for any of that. College football business model is the

570
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: minor leagues? Now? Is it apples to apples? Are they

571
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: running all the same stuff? No? Is there. It's not

572
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: like an affiliate where you can control but put ourselves

573
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: in the shoes of an owner. Football is very expensive

574
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: to operate, right from the size of the coaching staff,

575
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: the amount of players you have to feed, guys to travel,

576
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,719
Speaker 1: the size of the party. It's not just coaches, you

577
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: need film guys, you need trainers, the injuries. It's a

578
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: it's an expensive operation. Why would we pay for that

579
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: when we don't need to because it, like I said,

580
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: it is not cheap. And these college football programs are already

581
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: given me their operating as the minor leagues for free.

582
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: Now they make money on their own and we have

583
00:33:54,680 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: no part of that. But it's perfect. So I just

584
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: don't think it's necessary. I guess would be my thing.

585
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, and I don't think it's

586
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: a crazy idea, but I don't think they're ever going

587
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: to go for it. Big fan of the Pod. I

588
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: wish you were on Collins Show more often. I think

589
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: I go every Sunday during the basically like ten months

590
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: a year. Huge fan, Huge Packers fan. I always love

591
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: how we draft and develop. Teams like the Packers, raven

592
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: Steelers all seem to draft and develop too. My question

593
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: is why do some teams like the draft and develop well,

594
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: but teams like the Raiders in Carolina can't. What are

595
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: those teams missing that others are not? Cohesion? You have

596
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: the same people. The Packers over the last fifteen to

597
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: twenty years have had two or three people. Think about it.

598
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: They've had two coaches since whatever seven six, whenever McCarthy

599
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: was hired. They've had two gms, Ted and Gudikins. And

600
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: even Gudikins came from Ted Thompson. So the Ravens have

601
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: had two gms over the last twenty five years, meaning

602
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: they all think alike. The Ravens, same thing, same coach

603
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: for mid two thousands. Steelers three coaches in the history

604
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: of the franchise, so everyone knows what they're looking for.

605
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: The Raiders have had since I got out of the

606
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: NFL and I did post game for the Raiders up

607
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: until today. Think how many coaches they've had. They've had

608
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: several gms. Right, they had Reggie McKenzie, then they had

609
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock, then they had McDaniel's guy Ziegler, and now

610
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: they got to a Lasco. Four guys in twelve years.

611
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: They've had Dennis Allen, Tony Soprano, Jack del Rio, John Gruden,

612
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, and Antonio Piers. It's like seven plus coaches.

613
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: Obviously one of them is an interim, but you can't

614
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: Why do the Chiefs been good now for a decade?

615
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: They've had one vision, Tandy Reid one vision. How have

616
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: the Niners and the Rams figured this out? They've had

617
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: the same GM, the same head coach now going into

618
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: year eight, when you constantly like Telesco doesn't view football

619
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: like Ziegler. They have different ideas, they have different views,

620
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: they look for different things. So some of the guys

621
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: that Ziegler like, Telesco's not gonna like how many coaches

622
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: has what's his name ran through in Carolina got there,

623
00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: Rivera fired him, then they had Matt Ruhle fired him,

624
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: then they had Wilkes, didn't keep him on. Then they

625
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: brought in Frank fired him. Then they had an interim

626
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: for a little bit, the special teams coach, and now

627
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: they got Canals. And that's in a way shorter period

628
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: of time than the Raiders. If you just run through coaches,

629
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 1: even if they deserve to be fired, I'm not acting

630
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: like some of these guys didn't deserve to be fired,

631
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: but you got no shot, zero, none, absolutely none. You

632
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: can run through players, you can turn that roster. You

633
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: can't run through coaches. Obviously, you have to fire a

634
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: coach when he's bad. But like that's a problem. When

635
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: you're firing coaches, it's a coin flip whether the next

636
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be any good, and more often than not,

637
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in the same cycle in a couple

638
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: of years. I think a good example too is the Giants.

639
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: Think how many coaches the Giants have had since Tom

640
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: Kafflin McAdoo, Seya Schirmer, Sea, Joe Judge Sea and now

641
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: Dave Ball's a bad season away for is he gonna

642
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: get fired? Can't win like that, As Mike Singletary would say,

643
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: can't do it, can't can't do it, won't do it.

644
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: A question for the mailbag, what's your take on why

645
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: guys with zero coaching experience get hired as coaches and

646
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: managers in the NBA in baseball but never happens in

647
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. Is it simply because coaching in the NFL

648
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: is more difficult, difficult than coaching or managing in the

649
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: NBA or baseball one thousand think about this. I was

650
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: thinking about this when JJ got hired Mike Vrabel. Who

651
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: I think if you just compare the two careers, Mike

652
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: Vrabel was a better football player than JJ Reddick was

653
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: a basketball player. Either guy in their prime, which guy

654
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: would you want? You would want Vrabel? Right. Yet, Vrabel,

655
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: when he retired, three time champion team captain on one

656
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: of the great teams, starts as like a recruiting guy

657
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: linebacker coach for his buddy Fickle at Ohio State and

658
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: then coaches an assistant for Urban Meyer, then goes to

659
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: the NFL and is a linebacker coach before he's a

660
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. When I was in the NFL, Doug Peterson

661
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: when I first got there was our quality control coach.

662
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: Dude played in the NFL as a backup quarterback for

663
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: fifteen fucking years. Cutting up tape is a quality control guy.

664
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: Now he worked his way up, but still he didn't

665
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: start as the offensive coordinator. Marty Morningwick was, and there

666
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: was a quarterback coach over him. It's not even possible.

667
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: And I think Rabel and those guys will be the

668
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: first till I had to go be an assistant coach

669
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: because it is a completely different operation. JJ Reddick will

670
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: be good. Simply if Anthony Davis Lebron James and they

671
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: trade for another start, this team will be good. If

672
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis heard a lot and Lebron starts showing father time,

673
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: they'll suck maybe a moment here or there, but give

674
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: me a break. Stephen Vote, who's the manager of the Indians.

675
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: I love Stephen Vote hues to come on our radio

676
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: show in the Bay Area every single week and sing

677
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: he's the man. He's he's awesome. His team's loaded. Like

678
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: if I put Steven Vote on a shitty baseball team

679
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be a legit manager. Stephen Vote's one

680
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: of those guys you meet and you're like, I would

681
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: bet on that guy. Go if you told me Steven

682
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: Vote wants to go be run a bank, or Steven

683
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: Vote wants to go be an athletic director, like you

684
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: just he's one of those guys. He's gonna be successful.

685
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: But it's impossible to be successful in baseball. Like if

686
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 1: you don't have good players, you have no shot. It's

687
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: much easier to manage the Phillies or the Yankees than

688
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: it is the Rockies. So to me, it just it's

689
00:40:55,160 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: very very talent dependent. Were football like it's a schematic game.

690
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: We're playing chess every single Sunday. Now, clearly there are

691
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: gonna be moments where a player takes over and makes

692
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: a play that is not schemed. But you could not

693
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: be successful if you do not have a like an experienced,

694
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: good coaching staff. Think of what the way we talk

695
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: about all the best players or excuse me, the best

696
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL Shanahan, Reed McVeigh. God, these guys

697
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: are great play callers. They are great play callers. You

698
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: gotta motivate, you have to lead, and you have to outthink.

699
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson is listen, he's a damn good coach. Phil

700
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: Jackson also coach Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Shaquille O'Neil, Kobe

701
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: Bryant and then Pau Gasol and some of those great teams.

702
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: Great coach, and he was an incredible psychological warfare with

703
00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: the referees, the opponents, and with his own team. But

704
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: as Phil Jackson doing the same, if he's coaching like uh,

705
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: Lou Williams, you know, and I just random NBA players,

706
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: it's much easier to coach Dwayne Wade and Lebron than

707
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: it is Bradley beal right, and it did again. It

708
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: doesn't mean these guys aren't good. Like I listened to

709
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens on with Ryan Rossillo, Brad Stevens, you could

710
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: tell like that guy was born to be successful. He

711
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: was gonna be successful no matter what. He just sounds

712
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: like successful people sound, and obviously his resume speaks for itself.

713
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: But even he said, like, I got pretty lucky when

714
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: I got here. Danny worked a lot of magic and

715
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: we ended up getting Tatum and Brown. Those guys don't come.

716
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: It's probably a little harder. And obviously when I took

717
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: over being a GM, the cupboard was full, so I

718
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: think it's less about like all these people like JJ smart,

719
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: Jesus Well, JJ will be a good coach if he's

720
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: got good players. If he doesn't, he's gonna get fired

721
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: in two years. It's just that simple. And they got Lebron,

722
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: they got Anthony Davis. Lebron's forty years old. It's gonna

723
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: be very, very difficult, but it's it's much harder to

724
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: like Jason Kidd, who's one of the greatest players in

725
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: the last twenty five years, I mean, an all time

726
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: great point guard. It it's much easier to coach when

727
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: you just give the ball to Luca. You know, obviously

728
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: there is scheme there that there is stuff asked. But

729
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: if I gave Jason Kidd, who's an awful in the

730
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: Portland Trail Blazers, do you think anyone would be like, Ah,

731
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: Jason Kid's a good coach. Jason kidds Chauncey Billups, who

732
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: was a great player too's coach and the Trailblazers Everyone's like,

733
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: that's a disaster. We're in football. You could take a

734
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: disaster and all of a sudden it's like God's it's

735
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: a well coached team. So I just think it has

736
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: to do. It's one guy has the ball and score

737
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 1: thirty forty points and just completely take over a game

738
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: in baseball. If I got Max Schurzer and Justin Verlander,

739
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: Jim Leland's a great manager, right, A lot of people

740
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: consider one of the best managers last thirty years looked

741
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: pretty good. We was on the Tigers when he had Verlander,

742
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: when he had Cabrera, when he had Sureser. I saw

743
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: some of those teams live. They were good. Why they

744
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: were loaded with dudes. Part of what makes Bochie, why

745
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: people give him a lot of credit is some of

746
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: his Giants teams, like, yeah, they were good, but like

747
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: how many Hall of Famers they have one Posey He

748
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: was just incredible with the bullpen. He could play chess.

749
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 1: That's why the dude has four World Series. Most guys

750
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: can't play chess. TikTok star Gabe Kapler is playing like

751
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: a tic tac toe. Do you think that the NFL

752
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: teams in deep blue states like California and New York

753
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: end up paying more for players because of the state

754
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: income tax and cost of living. Specifically, I'm thinking of

755
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: the Niners and the Brandon Nyuk. No, I don't think

756
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: it factors in at all with a free agent in

757
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: the in a situation like this, like it's Marcus's market. Obviously,

758
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: if you're a player, you would want more money to Meulnt,

759
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: but he's not a true free agent. I think it

760
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: makes it. I think it makes a difference. Like if

761
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm a free agent and I can go play in

762
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: Jacksonville or Houston or the Rams, and it's like, well

763
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: they're both offering me seven million dollars a year, Well

764
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: you get a lot more take home cash in you know,

765
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: the no state income take states. You just if you're

766
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: making twenty million dollars a year in California, it ain't

767
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: the same as making twenty million dollars in Texas or Arizona.

768
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: And everyone's like Texas, he's got a super rich Like yeah,

769
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: anyone making decent money knows, like it's a fucking big deal.

770
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: I just crossed an imaginary line. I got a lot

771
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: more dry powder. That impacts my family, that impacts my life.

772
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: It's a big deal. I don't care how much money

773
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: you're making unless you're like Jeff Bezos any of those,

774
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: then yeah, it's like, Okay, I pay an extra one

775
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in taxes, which still who that wants

776
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: to get this money away if you don't have to.

777
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: But like at the end of the day, like the

778
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: Iuke thing, like the Niners have always paid guys the

779
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: Warriors and stuff. When you're not a true free agent,

780
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: I think it probably is less. Like all these guys

781
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: love LA, right, they love playing in LA, whether it's

782
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: the Dodgers the Lakers. If free agency was a little

783
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 1: different football, I think the Rams would clean up again

784
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: the cap and stuff. I'm just saying, like if they

785
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: had more cash spaces, I think people would want to

786
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: play there just because it's kind of cool living in

787
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: Newport Beach or Manhattan. It ain't the same in San Jose.

788
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's as impactful. Like the money's

789
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 1: the money. It just sucks once you sign the contract.

790
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: For sure, I think it plays much bigger role in

791
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: football more than basketball and baseball because their numbers are

792
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: so high in true free agency when I can pick

793
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: my team, But like Brandon, it's not a free agent.

794
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: But where are you gonna go? And the other team

795
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: that supposedly wanted you was the Washington Commanders. Well, they

796
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: pay a lot of taxes over there too. I think

797
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: part of the problem is like Brennan, it just he's

798
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 1: just very emotional. I don't do that well with emotional people.

799
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine part of it. And listen, that's

800
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: part of your job as a GM. It's one thing

801
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: if like Trent Williams or Nick Bosa, even though Nick

802
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 1: Bosa it wasn't even that it just took a while,

803
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: but he wasn't showing up needing meetings basically like tell

804
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: me you love me. It's like Jesus, this is the

805
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: pros this this big business. Like we're willing to give

806
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: you twenty six. The public is not gonna cry for

807
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: you that you want twenty nine. No human gives a

808
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: shit beside you, and clearly your emotional like spend less

809
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: time on social media. I promise you it'll help your

810
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: mental health here during these contract negotiations. But no one's

811
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 1: feeling bad for you that you're like, you need more money. Yeah,

812
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: you deserve to get paid in a big contract. But

813
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: what you're arguing over now, you're not gonna win in

814
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: the court of public opinion. Nobody cares whether you make

815
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: twenty six point eight or twenty eight point one, no

816
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: one gives a shit, and the Niners are gonna drive

817
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: a hard bargain, as they should. But I don't think

818
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: the taxes have any conversation in this specific situation. I

819
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: also think, like let's use Aaron Judge for example, who

820
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: had the opportunity, probably could have gone like Wherever teams

821
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: with money if you play like the amount of money

822
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: Steph Curry has made. If you're in a winning situation,

823
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: you make money for life. So Steph Curry, the money

824
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,479
Speaker 1: he's paid in taxes in the Bay Area the last

825
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: decade is probably astronomical, But he has made so much

826
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: other money because of his stardom, because of the success

827
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: that money. He just creates a company in LLC and

828
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: he can write stuff off and he can manipulate a

829
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: little bit, right, But the salary. No state loves a

830
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: high W two guy more than obviously you know the

831
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: high tax states. They live for those guys. You're making

832
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars a year W two, send me about

833
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: twenty seven of that because that's what goes to the government.

834
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: You're not even a fifty to fifty shearholder in the

835
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: W two. Now, these guys have so much other shit

836
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: going on that it doesn't even matter. But I do

837
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: defend anyone that wants to complain about it. I really do,

838
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: because it's easy for someone making eighty grand, like once

839
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned a moment about obviously he makes a lot

840
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 1: of money and he's not worrying about like paying the bills.

841
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: But put yourself in a situation where you're making twenty

842
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: million dollars and nine of it disappears like that sucks.

843
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: And it's not like that money goes to help, like

844
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,479
Speaker 1: some single mom in need live in California for thirty

845
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: five years, the poor rot. You know, it's not like

846
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: the schools are great. So I don't know what to

847
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: tell you. It's part of why I left. I'm not

848
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: paying this anymore. Peace. It's been a lot more enjoyable

849
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: to see that money stay with me. First time in

850
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: the mailback guyless quarterbacks to win super Bowls the next

851
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: ten years and leaves Burrow off the list and gives

852
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: love too. This was the last this guy did. The

853
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: next ten years, all the dudes who are gonna win

854
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: super Bowls, and he gave like Mahomes three gave Josh Allen,

855
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: he gave love to I think here's The thing with

856
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: Burrow is when you're injured, you're just a little out

857
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: of side, out of mind. It's just that if Joe

858
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: Burrow had been healthy and been in the AFC Championship Game,

859
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: or been playing Josh Allen, Lamar and Mahomes in the

860
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: final four of the AFC, he would be thought about.

861
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: But when he got injured, you just become an afterthought.

862
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: I do think it kind of represents the way our

863
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: minds work. Society has changed a lot. We move at

864
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: rapid speed. Sometimes in the morning if I'm like scrolling

865
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: Instagram or at my desk scroll on Twitter, like I

866
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: had to take it off my phone because I don't

867
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: want to scroll it in bed or anything. And our

868
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: brains were not meant to have this much information constantly

869
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: in our head. I feel like my memory has gotten worse,

870
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: and part of my theory as a non doctor business

871
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: major who not that smart, is I wonder if I

872
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: just put so much information in such a short period

873
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 1: of time like this. My dad never have to worry

874
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: about that, Like the seventies and eighties, He just read

875
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,919
Speaker 1: the paper in the morning, went to work, interacted, maybe

876
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: watched the news tonight. The information coming at us is insane,

877
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 1: So it's like, I do this a lot. I forget

878
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: to mention Joe Burrow. Sometimes I don't forget to mention

879
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Josh Allen. Why because I watched those guys dominate

880
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: up until the bitter end of the season. So I

881
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: just think it's simple. He's got to stay healthy. If

882
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: he plays, everyone's talking about him. He's a star, but

883
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: he did have an awful injury last year, and it's

884
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 1: a big question this year. It really is. I hope

885
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: he's healthy. I enjoy watching him play a throwback, but

886
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: you get out of sight, out of mind, it happens,

887
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: and it happens fast, just the way sports fans operate,

888
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 1: just the way all of us operate. So I'm excited

889
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: to watch him play, and I think I'll be back

890
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: the volume
