1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on my people, John Middlecoff

00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: three Now Podcast, Happy Sweet sixteen, Let's go Arkansas and

3
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: the Johnnies. I'll actually pick my final four a little

4
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: bit later, but we got a busy, busy show cause

5
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: I need to dive in on the Australian Game, which

6
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: is kicking off at ten thirty am on Friday in

7
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: Australia for the Niners in the rams A take with

8
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: college sports that is driving me nuts. I want to

9
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: dive into Pooka Nakua feels like the guy's kind of life.

10
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: Set a fork in the road, Ty Simpson. That argument

11
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: just continues. There's video of my homes. We will we'll

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: do a little change of scenery today and when with

13
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: a couple of mail bag questions at John Middlecoffe as

14
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: the Instagram fire in those dms. So yeah, that'll kind

15
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: of do. We got a lot going on. I'm fired

16
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: up for today's show. You guys know the drill. If

17
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: you listen on Collins Feed, make sure you subscribe to

18
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: three and out. If all of our video, all of

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: our video up on Netflix, go check that out. I'm

20
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: actually recording this before the Giants Yankees, which is also

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: on Netflix. It's weird. I mean, I grew up a

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: diehard Giants fan, but I kind of enjoy the Yankees

23
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: in a weird way because I don't think the Giants

24
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: are gonna be any good. I'm gonna roof for the

25
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Yankees this year, maybe not tonight, but I'm excited for

26
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: a little regular season baseball on in the background. But

27
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: let's dive into some football. I do want to start

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: with the news that because of the dates and their

29
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: rules with high school football, that the NFL can't play

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: on Friday during a certain stretch of the year, and

31
00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: because this year the first week falls under that that

32
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: that time frame, they were not gonna be able to

33
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: play on Friday. So they're pushing Seattle, which the defending

34
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: champs always host the opening game on Wednesday. Because the

35
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: forty nine ers in Rams, which we've been talking about

36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: are you know, it's well I mean well known now,

37
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: are playing in Australia and because of the flight, you know,

38
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna take them, you know, a day and a

39
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: half to get there. They can't do it just in

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: a random weekend. It's got to be week one, right,

41
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: And I want to start overall, like I understand the

42
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: mindset between international football, like trying to grow in other markets,

43
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: especially when you're going to get in bed with people

44
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: like Netflix, which we love being in bed with them here,

45
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Apple plus you know Amazon Prime, I would imagine is international.

46
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: I can't don't quote me on that one, just never tried.

47
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: But I do understand the desire to try to grow

48
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: your business. And I think these games in the UK

49
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: in Germany have set up pretty well because they could

50
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: kick them off here at nine thirty am Eastern, but

51
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: they were primetime for those guys, so when they were

52
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: playing the game, it was like playing a five o'clock or,

53
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: depending on where you were in the country, a night

54
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: game on Thursday, Sunday or Monday for the players, like

55
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: they had the rhythm to the day on game day

56
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: of playing a later game non morning or afternoon, but

57
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: the primetime window if you're playing like Sunday night football.

58
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: I think the problem with Australia, which let me say this,

59
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: it is a great sports place. They are a very

60
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: very passionate group of people when it comes to athletics.

61
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a big golf guy. Live is gone

62
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: there for a couple of years now, and it has

63
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: been a raging success. It has kind of been the

64
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: defining moment of the Saudis Tour. You know, obviously rugby

65
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: is massive there. I mean, these are people that like

66
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: a violent sport, so it makes a lot of sense.

67
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: It's obviously football is different than rugby, but like these

68
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: people like athletics, so I get it. To me, the

69
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: issue is taking two teams who are a forty five

70
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: minute flight away from each other. If you get on

71
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: a plane in Sacramento to go to Los Angeles, it's

72
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: like fifty five minutes. If you get on a plane

73
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: in San Jose, it's like a little underd forty five minutes.

74
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: You can't be any closer. There probably aren't that many

75
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: games where you have to hop on a flight in

76
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: the National Football League or in college where you're in

77
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: the air for less time than when the forty nine

78
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: ers and the Rams play each other. And you're taking

79
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: these two teams and you're taking them international, which if

80
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: you were taking them to the UK, I'd be like, okay,

81
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: but there's a seventeen hour time toiffit. And the reality

82
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: is growing this business which the NFL and specifically roge

83
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: is and I'm sure the owners are obsessed with I mean,

84
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: I mean they are just they go from six to

85
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: midnight when they think about some new fans in some

86
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: of these international markets. Yet they make all their money

87
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: here because the television window in which they build this

88
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: game around is a night game eight thirty Eastern time,

89
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: five point thirty out here on the West Coast. Here's

90
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: the problem for Kyle and Sean McVeigh. They have to

91
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: get their team ready to kick off at ten thirty

92
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: am Pacific time. So what the league has told you

93
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: is they don't give a shit about the kickoff time

94
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: for the fans in Australia. But that's not a normal

95
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: big event ten thirty am on a Friday morning. No

96
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: sport in America does that none. Now, some events that

97
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: go seven days, maybe, like a golf tournament has golf

98
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: going on on Friday, but the main event of a

99
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: golf tournament is Saturday and Sunday. No different than let's

100
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: say tennis. Right. You obviously have a bunch of tennis

101
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: matches early on in the tournament, and as you get

102
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: down to the quarters, to the semis, to the finals,

103
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: you start putting that bad boy in a primetime window.

104
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: So when the league has gone international in the UK,

105
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: in Mexico, in Germany, they have tried to situate it

106
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: in a great time slot for the people they are

107
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: attending the event, and then manipulated it over here, i e.

108
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: The early morning kickoff. The problem is the time difference

109
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: in Australia is so extreme they don't have a choice

110
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: because they would never not in a million fucking years,

111
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: kickoff rams forty nine ers at ten thirty am. In

112
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: the States, Roger would jump off the Walt Whitman Bridge

113
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: before he even I mean, he would fire any one

114
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: that broach that idea to him. But to get this

115
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: game on in prime time and play it, that's what

116
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: they have to do. Now. I get it that Kyle

117
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: and Sean coming off training camp are gonna have to

118
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: manipulate how they do things. I'm sure they go over

119
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: way early. But here's what I know that Sean McVeigh

120
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan are made men in their organizations. They

121
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: are more important. Like obviously the owner Camp is not

122
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna fire himself, but they have so much juice that

123
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: they can piss off the owner and there's not much

124
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: the owners can do. They're specific owner. The owners meetings

125
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: is right around the corner here in Arizona. If I

126
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: were those two guys, who probably have the most juice

127
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 1: in the younger crew, I would cause a huge stink

128
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: over this. Now. I'm sure they've known about this. Maybe

129
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: it just kind of came to our attention when they've

130
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: really done the math and the time zone difference. But

131
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: these are two of the best teams in the league.

132
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: These are two of the most important coaches in the league.

133
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: These are two of the biggest brands in the league.

134
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: Nash I would be like, fuck you, this is insane.

135
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: What are we doing? We have to play Week one,

136
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: a massive, massive divisional game. I mean these games can

137
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: be the determining factor of who gets the one seed

138
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: and who gets the five seed. When the dust settles

139
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: in early January and we're kicking off in Australia at

140
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: ten thirty am Eastern, that means our players have to

141
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: get to the field at seven forty five when the

142
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: buses arrive. What are we doing here? This is a

143
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: big newon kickoff Illinois versus USC. I would be if

144
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: I were those two guys, beyond furious, and I'm sure

145
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: they have been because they've known about this with the

146
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: math much longer than it kind of came to all

147
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: of our attention when we really looked at it today.

148
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: But that's absurd, and I'm not I've come around, like

149
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: I understand it. I get you're just creating new revenue streams.

150
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: I'm all for that. We try to do that here.

151
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: We all got bills to pay, expenses grow inflation. Like,

152
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm not shitting on them for having these new ideas, right,

153
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: Like I expansion in the NBA, You're like, listen, the

154
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: majority of your league stinks is unwatchable. You're gonna expand

155
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, we're gonna charge us seven billion a

156
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: team that's fourteen billion that we split up thirty ways.

157
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, i'd vote for too, if I was

158
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: on their side. You know, I'm not one of these

159
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: radical media members who just despise all this shit. Like

160
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: I understand it, I get it. But to me to

161
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: put this product in these two teams in that spot

162
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: feels really really unfair and feels kind of ridiculous. Now,

163
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: I know people that a lot of you guys that

164
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: DM ME that are Australian you know either you know

165
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: people that have moved from the States or people that

166
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: just like football down there and you're excited for it,

167
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: and I get it, But are you as excited knowing that,

168
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: like you gotta take the day off work, like you

169
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: go to the stadium at ten thirty am? What other

170
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: events the sporting world have that take place? I just

171
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: I really don't get it. So I think it's ridiculous

172
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see if Kyle and Sean

173
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: kind of throw up a red flag here in a

174
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: couple of days. And obviously nothing's gonna change. This game's

175
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: going down no matter what. But kind of do cause

176
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: of stink? Because I know if I were those two

177
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: guys and have the juice, I would one cause of stink.

178
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: I would go a little Belichick. Let's piss some people off,

179
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: let's ruffle some feathers. Quick college take And we talked

180
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: about this. I don't even know when, over the course

181
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: of the last week or so, is it feels like

182
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: people are just copy and pasting the way we talk

183
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: about college sports in the NIL era, from the pre

184
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: nil era. It's like, guys, what happened? And I think

185
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: about this In the business I work in, I can't

186
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: even relate to the twenty fifteen, me a guy that

187
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: was working on radio and as a decade ago, and

188
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: the things that have dramatically changed in my industry, and hell,

189
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: what I'm doing now. I could have moved anywhere in

190
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: the world and done my show and been every bit

191
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: of successful. It did not matter. That wasn't even possible

192
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: that long ago. I mean, seriously, I think about this

193
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: from the fact that over the course of the last

194
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, I ordered a baby seat for the

195
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: stroller so we can go on walks and he looks out.

196
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: I ordered gas drops so it kind of breaks down

197
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: the milk in his stomach and he parents know that,

198
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, you get burpie and gassy, and these things help.

199
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: And I ordered air conditioned AC filters for my house

200
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: because I realized I hadn't changed him in a while,

201
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: and as the heat's coming in, you don't want old

202
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: filters and you know, dirty air. The press of a button.

203
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: Ten years ago, I would have had to get in

204
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: my car and probably go to three separate places, Ace hardware, whatever,

205
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: the baby store that has this stuff, and safe way

206
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: to pick up the three items. It would have been

207
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: a pain. Now I literally go to an app called

208
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: Amazon and order fucking everything. I can always need a

209
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: new toothpaste press of a button. Thank you, Jeff Bezos.

210
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: If I would have told you that ten plus years ago,

211
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: you'd be like, what, that's not possible, not doing that. No,

212
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: that's what we do Amazon. You mean the bookstore. No,

213
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: this is actually a They just deliver everything, literally, anything

214
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: you need. Hell, I got new outdoor furniture for the summer.

215
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: I needed things because we've had crappy outdoor furniture before.

216
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: We didn't have any covers, and anyone that knows if

217
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: you live in a sunny, warm place, the sun destroys

218
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: outdoor furniture. Before we had chief furniture. It didn't necessarily matter,

219
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: but it brutalized them. This time around, got a little

220
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: bit nicer furniture. It's like we need to have, especially

221
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: if we leave for a couple weeks in the summer.

222
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: We're just we're not using it covers. What did I do?

223
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: Went to Amazon, pressed the button, delivered they all fit.

224
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: That's how much life has changed where we live in

225
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. You can bitch and moan about it.

226
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: I enjoy it makes life a lot more simple. And

227
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: the one thing about college sports is before it was

228
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: like history really mattered. This is where so and so played,

229
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: this is where so and so coached, This program has

230
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: won this many titles, this program has this practice facility

231
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: and these cool things in the locker room, and look

232
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: how big their weight room is. In twenty twenty six.

233
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: None of that shit, I repeat, none of that shit matters.

234
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: How much will you pay me the nil budget or

235
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: the budget to pay the players whatever that revenue I

236
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: don't even know. It's kind of ever fluid is the

237
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: number one thing that matters. If Kurt Signetti had just

238
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: left Indiana a couple months ago to be the head

239
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: coach of the Raiders, Indiana was the losingest program in

240
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: the history of the sport two years ago. Before Signetti

241
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: got there. It would have been a job that would

242
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: have been looked at like that's a terrible job, Do

243
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: not touch that. If Signetti had just left, they would

244
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: have had the pick of sweet coaches. They would have

245
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: easily got Matt Campbell, who went to Penn State, and

246
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: historically Penn State's one of the top destinations. Obviously they

247
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: James Franklin was a big get, Bill O'Brien was a

248
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: big get. Now Matt Campbell was a big get. Indiana

249
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: could have got Matt Campbell, no problem. You know why.

250
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: They have a big budget to pay the players, and

251
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: they pay their coach a lot of money and obviously

252
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: their assistance. That's all that matters. Now. So when I

253
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: see that North Carolina fires Hubert Davis, all I see

254
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: is like, this is a destination job. The history Michael

255
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Jordan played there. Guys, I'm forty one years old.

256
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: I was born in nineteen eighty four. That's the year

257
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan got drafted in the NBA. These you think

258
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan playing at North Carolina impacts any of these

259
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: top basketball players? What about the history, all the championships.

260
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: Once Roy came there, they he rattled off multiple championships.

261
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: None of these players care at all. Aj Dubonsa went

262
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: to BYU, not because he cares about John Smith or

263
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: because he loves the Mountains, because they paid him seven

264
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: million dollars. North Carolina in basketball, just like Ohio State

265
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: under Ryan Day, has not been dominating because they have

266
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: They're a historic program because they were great with Tressel,

267
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: because they were great back in the day with Woody

268
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: Hayes against Bo Shechem Beckler. None of that matters. It's

269
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: because they have one of, if not the highest budgets

270
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: to pay the players and pay the coaches in the country.

271
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: In football, unlike basketball, you're coordinators really matter. So part

272
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: of Indiana's success is he's got two sweet coordinators and

273
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: now he's paying them both millions of dollars. Ryan Day

274
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: has literally has two NFL coordinators, Matt Patricia who makes

275
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: like four million dollars and Arthur Smith, who now makes

276
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: like two million. He's paying his coordinators six million dollars total.

277
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: North Carolina plans on paying a basketball coach like six

278
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: or seven million, which is a lot in basketball. But

279
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: when I see like, will they get the Michigan coach,

280
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: will they get the Arizona coach? Well, yeah, if they're

281
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: willing to say, we will pay whatever it takes for

282
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: NIL to buy players. Because none of it matters. On

283
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: the logo on your shoe, the Carolina Blue, all the

284
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: championships you've won back in the day that Vince Carter

285
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: and Rashid Wallace, no one cares, literally nobody. It's the

286
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: reason Bill self has been getting Darren Peterson. They paid

287
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: for it. The reason Duke's Landing, all these guys. Obviously

288
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: Boozer went there because they paid for it. If you're

289
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: willing to pay for it, you know. I just got

290
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: a question the other day about Dabo Sweeney going on

291
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: the rant about losing a player. Do you think that

292
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: guy twenty years ago, who'd you rather play for Dabo

293
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: Sweeney or this guy Pete Golding who's coached two games

294
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: in his career. Dabos sweeneys won multiple national championships. I

295
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: get the programs down a little bit. But he didn't

296
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: leave Clemson because he didn't like Dabo, because he didn't

297
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: like the program. Omis literally recruited him when he was

298
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: on campus, said what do you make and he said X.

299
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: He said, we'll play you why That's why he left.

300
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: The game's very simple, which honestly I kind of appreciate.

301
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: It's not as emotional. It's not about like I'm going

302
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: to usc usc just had the number one recruiting class

303
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: in the country. Reggie Bush, Matt Liinert, and the Pete

304
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Carroll era was completely irrelevant for the execution of that.

305
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,239
Speaker 1: It was simply because in the state of California, you

306
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 1: can give high school kids money before they show up

307
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: on campus, which a lot of other states do not allow. So, USC,

308
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: who has been very underwhelming since Lincoln Riley got there,

309
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: got the number one recruiting class in the country because

310
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: they bought them. Honestly, college sports now watch blue chips.

311
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: All that was illegal now it's all legal. So when

312
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: I see the conversation around, will so and so go

313
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: and personally, I have a theory in college basketball, if

314
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: you can be like a one, two or three seed,

315
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, be a top ten consistent team in the

316
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: country at a football school, that is a better job

317
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: than living in the fish bowl of Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina.

318
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: It's like would dust he may leave Michigan. Well, he's

319
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: been a number one seed. There is a program that's

320
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: been to multiple national championships over the course of the

321
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: last decade. They clearly have good nil but at the

322
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: end of the day, like he doesn't take as much

323
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: shit as fototball coach, even when the football coach is

324
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: not some dude that's banging everything walking around the street,

325
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: which it still boggles my mind when I've seen some

326
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: of these clips. The Charon more in the uh in

327
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: the courthouse and his wife is there now Again, I

328
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: never judge anyone on what they're doing when the doors

329
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: are closed behind their home. You know, inside their home.

330
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: We all do different stuff. I just know the relationship

331
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: that I'm in my current wife and my current child.

332
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: They would not be supporting me in the courthouse if

333
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: that was my situation, and I would imagine many people

334
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: listening can relate to that as well. I would not

335
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: get some loyal ride or die in the situation where

336
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: I was bending over my assistant in my office. But

337
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: that's a conversation for a different day. But Alabama, Michigan,

338
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: these coaches that are having success at football schools, that

339
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: to me is a great gig, get to fly under

340
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: the radar, a little get to make a ton of money,

341
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: and obviously they give you leftover nil, which is still

342
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: great for the basketball team. Now. I like one thing

343
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: I saw too is like, could they steal Arizona's basketball coach? Well,

344
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: as someone tweeted at me, Arizona this year is like

345
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: a top three or four roster in terms of payments

346
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: they are paying for the players. He's not just coaching

347
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: these guys out of thin air. He's not rolling out

348
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: the ball and saying middle coough you go run the

349
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: point guard for my team. They're paying premiums for these guys.

350
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: So I just think that whenever I see these people

351
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: talk about these jobs, Alabama is no longer the same

352
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: Alabama under Debor as it was under Saban. Saban obviously

353
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest coaches in the history of sports,

354
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: but he had a big advantage once he got the momentum.

355
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: That's where people wanted to play a little like Caliperiat

356
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: Kentucky or Coach K at Duke. The reason John Shires

357
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: having success at Duke they have the number one nil

358
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: on the acc not because coach K twenty five years

359
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: ago was running some cool program. None of that matters.

360
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: So like Indiana is now one of the best jobs

361
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: in the country, why because they spend money on the talent.

362
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: If that is not the number one thing you say

363
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: about a job and listen, maybe North Carolina gets the

364
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: pick of the litter, But the reason it will is

365
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: because that coach will go, what's my budget to pay

366
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: the players? And they will either say it's this or

367
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: it's unlimited. Because if they say it's unlimited, then everyone

368
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: will run right there. So I just think these conversations

369
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: around college sports feels a little arcade. It feels outdated.

370
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: It's like, guys, do you know how much has changed

371
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. You know, Netflix wants

372
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: delivered DVDs to your house. You know. Now I'm doing

373
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: a podcast on it. Like, things change and they change

374
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: really really fast, and it's usually because of money. And

375
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened to college sports. It changed dramatically,

376
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: basically overnight, and we haven't looked back since. And these

377
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: jobs aren't really what they once were, though they can

378
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: sustain it Ohio State in football, Duke in basketball, as

379
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: long as they're willing to pay whatever it takes. If

380
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: they're not, it doesn't matter about what they did years

381
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: in the past. Can I tell her my friends at

382
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet? My wife looks at me the other

383
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: night and she goes, why are you rooting so hard

384
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: for Arkansas? You would have thought that coach cow was

385
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: my dad. I said, fifty to one, I got the

386
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 1: Razorbacks to make a freaking run. Duke, bring it on, baby.

387
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: Today She's like, why are you rooting so hard for

388
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: the Johnnies? I said, Rick Pattino, that's my guy. Let's

389
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: make a run. Got a takedown one seeds. But that's

390
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: the thing, even if your bracket is busted, if you gamble,

391
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,080

414
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: I was actually telling my mother in law this. When

415
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: she's a stud, we fly her out and she comes

416
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: helps the baby. It's it's it's incredible. I mean that's

417
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: to have a babysitter for a couple of days and

418
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: get a good night's sleep. I mean she could have

419
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: charged me one hundred grand I would have cut her

420
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: a check. You know, the sanity and the uh, the

421
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: mental clarity it brings to uh my household is is priceless.

422
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: It truly is so found out. I got invited to

423
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: play in a member guest at a golf tournament. I said, hey,

424
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: would you would you be willing to come back? I said,

425
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: love to. I said, boom, but you tell me when

426
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: I all ordered your flight yesterday. But I was telling

427
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: her when I picked her up from the airport. A

428
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, we were talking about something and

429
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: I said, I I can only speak for guys, but

430
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us get to a point,

431
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: and it happens in our twenties, and it could be

432
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: early twenties, mid twenties, or late twenties where if we're

433
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: going down a path or doing something we don't want

434
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: to do, we make a pivot, we make a change,

435
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: and we go, this is not who I want to be,

436
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: this is not what I want to do, this is

437
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: not what I want to be about. And you go

438
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: in a different direction and you pretty you do it dramatically.

439
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: And I said, the older you get, I think it

440
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: becomes much more difficult. It doesn't mean it's not possible.

441
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: But as you get in your thirties your forties, I'm

442
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: not saying you don't mentally grow and you don't much

443
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: sure as a human being, but you don't change that

444
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: much or it's much more difficult to make dramatic life changes.

445
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: I truly believe that, and I think for a lot

446
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: of young men. I was just watching the Red Hot

447
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: Chili Peppers documentary, which is really really good. It's crazy.

448
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the amount of bands in probably the seventies

449
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: and eighties and even early nineties. I mean people that

450
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: are still alive today that became like historic musicians that

451
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: probably easily could have died in one of the members

452
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: of the I'm not gonna give it away. It's just

453
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: if you like the red hot Chili Peppers or just

454
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: kind of that versus you know, genre of music. I

455
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: check out the documentary Very Organic how they came about.

456
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: But life's about making decisions, and those decisions could be

457
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: as simple as like do you stay up super late

458
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: or your guy that kind of goes to bed early

459
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: and get your rest so you're ready to roll every day.

460
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: You know, are you complaining that you're kind of fat? Well,

461
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: what are you put in your body right? Being disciplined

462
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: on what you eat, what time you go to bed,

463
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: how you treat your body, I mean, or you binge

464
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: drink or are you not? And these are just personal

465
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: health questions. To then you a single guy, who you

466
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: run around with, what type of women, what type of girls?

467
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: And the more famous you are, the more money you have,

468
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: Like these are decisions that become much more important because

469
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna be around situations that the average guy's not

470
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: and these situations can go well and they also couldn't

471
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: go really wrong. And also, like I always thought about

472
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: this because my dad said, the one crazy thing is

473
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: I can do a lot to like raise you and

474
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: teach you the right things to do and how to

475
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: live and how to operate. But I don't really get

476
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: to choose your friends. Like that's kind of on you

477
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: on who you hang out with from when you're a

478
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: young kid to when you go to college. Throughout life,

479
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: you know, who do you gravitate towards and listen, We've

480
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: all probably ran around with people that you're like, ah,

481
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: that probably wasn't the best idea. That could have gone

482
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: really bad. And for some people in that situation that

483
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: maybe they would have changed, it goes bad and they

484
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: get into a situation that they they not only regret,

485
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: that might change their life. And for whatever reason, Pookin

486
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: Nakula's decision making over the course of the last six

487
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: to eight months feels really shitty and let's be I

488
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: mean really kind of you know, the Mormon Wyve situation

489
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: that happened to the bats of Ratt It feels like

490
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: a cage cat got got out of provo and just

491
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: doesn't know what to do with himself and became really famous.

492
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: And it's not handling it will now. I'm not pointing

493
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: fingers and saying anyone did anything. I just know this

494
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: like one headlines like listen, you had nothing to do

495
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: with it, A great guy, like there's been enough smoke.

496
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: Now it's like, bro figure shit out. And we talked

497
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: about this the other day. It doesn't matter what the

498
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: rams say. It doesn't matter what Les Zied and Sean

499
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: McVay and Sean I think talks at the owner's meetings

500
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: here in a couple of days, the words that come

501
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: out of his mouth mean nothing to me. We'll judge

502
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: on the actions because JSN just got a historic contract.

503
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: Are they copy and pasting that or are they going out?

504
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely no chance we're paying him that right now. We

505
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: do not trust him, and until they pay him, that's

506
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: the only thing I have to go off of. But

507
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: it does feel like Puka Nakua, who is one of

508
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: the more fun players I remember watching in my life.

509
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: He is just a badass on the field, but as

510
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: of right now, he's not someone that you could trust

511
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: giving one hundred and twenty million dollars guaranteed to and

512
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: I think the rams every day that goes by is

513
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: showing you they agree. I believe, And I'm not trying

514
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: to be like Steven A. Smith here, but he's kind

515
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: of at a fork in the road. It's like time

516
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: to either draw a line in the sand and be like,

517
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: I'm getting away from all these fucking people who are

518
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: putting me in bad situations and then through them, I'm

519
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: putting myself in bad situations, or I'm just gonna be

520
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: a slappy And we see a lot of NFL guys

521
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: with a lot of talent get down a rut and

522
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: never been able to get out, and you look back

523
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: what could have been. And I do feel like he's

524
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: kind of in a fork in the road right now.

525
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: And he clearly he has a bunch of high level

526
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: guys around him. I mean, Davante from just a work

527
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: ethics standpoint, married man, kids, Stafford family. It's like you

528
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: got guys in your own meeting rooms, in your own

529
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 1: side of the ball that are just high level cats,

530
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: mature dudes. And I get it, you're young. You are,

531
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, the one of the toasts of the of

532
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: not the town. Because I don't think La necessarily gives

533
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: a shit but of the league, you got a lot.

534
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: You know, heavy is the head that wears the crown, right,

535
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: So when things are going really well, more people are

536
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: paying attention, and there's a lot of pressure on you

537
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: to do the right things. And it's easy for me

538
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: to say like I never got I mean, I probably

539
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: got lucky a lot when I was younger, but by

540
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: the time I got to college, like drugs didn't interest me.

541
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: I found out pretty quick, like I'm not a club

542
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: late night guy. I'm not saying I don't like the

543
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: booze a little bit, but I'm not You're not gonna

544
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: find me up. I get too tired at like two

545
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: in the morning, you know, So I and listen, there

546
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: are probably some women in my single days it's like, yeah,

547
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: that could have gone wrong, that could have gone bad.

548
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people could say, like, I'm

549
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: glad that we just kind of got through that period

550
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: of my life. But I also didn't have one hundred

551
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: and twenty million dollar contract waiting for me in my

552
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: mid twenties, and it does feel like he's got an

553
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to really fuck this thing up. So I just

554
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: know that these headlines and gonna deny and It's like,

555
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: how many headlines are we gonna get now? Because I

556
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: look around like I don't see any headlines with Jamar

557
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: Chase or Justin Jefferson or Davante Adams. It's like, it's

558
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: one thing. Listen. It doesn't bother me tweeting about the refs,

559
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: But when TMZ is tweeting about you, it's drawing the lines,

560
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, a line in the sand. Time it's okay,

561
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: it's time to look in the mirror, have a little

562
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: introspection and be like, what do we need to change?

563
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: How do I need to pivot? Because if you don't,

564
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: this all could get away from me really fast. A

565
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: couple quick quarterback things. There was video of Patrick Mahomes.

566
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: I had the video on mute because he was the

567
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: baby was sleeping earlier today, but he was throwing now,

568
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, three months out of ACL surgery. I know.

569
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: When I was at the combine, I was told by

570
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: very reliable sources they feel very confident about the pace

571
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: in which he's making. So I think it's fair to say,

572
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: as we sit here on March twenty six, like I

573
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: would be prepared for Patrick Mahomes to play Week one.

574
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's insane. I wouldn't go there yet.

575
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 1: It's well got a long way to go that like

576
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: by the start of training camp he's ready to go.

577
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: Even if he was, they would probably ease him in.

578
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure even if he does some limited stuff

579
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: during OTAs, they're gonna work with Justin Fields a Ton

580
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: and let Patrick mahomes easy into this. But this gets

581
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: back to they're gonna get a motivated guy. They're gonna

582
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: get a guy that, let's face said, did not have

583
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: a good season, and they're gonna have reinforcements. They have

584
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: a great opportunity pick nine, pick twenty nine other picks

585
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: in the draft to really change this thing around. And

586
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: they clearly know it. He clearly knows it. And I'm

587
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: telling you, I think the Chiefs not saying they're gonna

588
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, but they're gonna have a chip

589
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: on their shoulder. They're gonna be coming, They're gonna be

590
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: bringing it. The other thing is Ty Simpsons got a

591
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: first round pick for me. I didn't see it when

592
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: I watched them. I used this comp of like, I

593
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: think there's some similarities with perty Perty was a seventh

594
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: round pick. Those type players for me, are guys that

595
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: are drafted after pick one hundred. Now I get it

596
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: with quarterback inflation or Latsky's getting shit on his connection

597
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: with Cia, who also represents Ty Simpson, which I think

598
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: we really benefit from. Like in twenty twenty six, we

599
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of know what's going on, and if we don't

600
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: know what's going on, we eventually find out what's going

601
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: on really quick. I've always said this about my parents.

602
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 1: They grew up in an era that you know, after

603
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: World War Two and in just some other international conflicts.

604
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: When they grew up, like in junior high and elementary school,

605
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: they would do bomb drills where they hit under the

606
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: desk prompt. It's like, did no one raise their hand

607
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: and be like, uh, this makes no sense, Like what

608
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: are we doing there? But no one didn't and they

609
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: just hopped under the desk. It's not really the times

610
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: we live in, Like we kind of have a bunch

611
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: of information. You could argue too much, but I do

612
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say, like when you're represented by

613
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: the same people and our lawsky's like, well I pay them. Yeah,

614
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: It's like we all know. Mi guy Ethan Strauss been

615
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: writing about this for Woes Woes used to destroy coaches

616
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: who weren't CAA and then guys that were he would

617
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: protect kind of the game, kind of the world. They

618
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: helped place you in these spots. They helped make you

619
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: a lot of money and negotiate. Whoever you're in business with,

620
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: you are going to have, You're gonna be more cognizant

621
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: of the relationship. Let me just say, especially people that

622
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: make you money. Right, So listen, I'm very protective of

623
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: the relationship I have with Colin and the operation that

624
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: has changed my life professionally, financially, the whole thing. That's

625
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: usually the way it go for anyone with a fucking brain.

626
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: That being said, I've texted a bunch of different executives

627
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: and scouts, and some people are in agreement with me.

628
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: No way. I text a buddy today who's a future

629
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: GM Locke in the next three or four years, maybe

630
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: even less. Was like, I think he's a top I

631
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: think he's a top thirty two pick. I think he's

632
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 1: a first round pick. He agreed with Dan, maybe not

633
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: necessarily he was the best quarterback in the draft, but

634
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: he thinks for sure he's a first round pick. That's

635
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: kind of draft talk. That's kind of what these draft

636
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: meetings are. You get into a meeting, there is going

637
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: to be someone in that room potentially, you know, for

638
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: guys like Jeremiah Love, you would look like the village

639
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: idiot if you raised your hand your life. I don't

640
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: think this guy's that good, you know. I think this

641
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: guy thinks I hate him, which I don't really personally

642
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: have any feelings toward him. But Ryan Grigson once had

643
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: a second round grade on von Miller. It's like, yeah,

644
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: I'd keep that one to yourself. I wouldn't say anything

645
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: about that in the room. It's like, this guy's not

646
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: only a top five pick, it's pretty clear what he

647
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: does is going to translate to the league fifteen years later.

648
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: Guy's going to the Hall of Fame. But most players,

649
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: you can argue till you're blue in the face, cause

650
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: most guys are not just like, this guy's a future

651
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. That's not you really how it works

652
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: in the draft. So when you look at a guy

653
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: like makay Lemon or Omar Cooper from Indiana or Bane

654
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: from Miami or whoever in this draft, you could argue like, yeah,

655
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not comfortable with this pick, and

656
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be guys in every single draft room arguing

657
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: both sides. So they're gonna be people that don't like

658
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendos. They're gonna be people that don't like Ty Simpson.

659
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: I think the problem for Dan is his argument goes

660
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: about Fernando. It's like, the biggest games are the most

661
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: important games. And when he played Ohio State and on

662
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: the first play of the game, he got hit like

663
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: you would get hit in the NFL from Miles Garrett

664
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: or Micah Parsons, and it looked like he broke ribs,

665
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: got a concussion, and it was like his season is over.

666
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: And two plays later he shook it off and came

667
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: back in the game. That's the NFL. That is what

668
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: the NFL is. So when I see Ty Simpson doesn't

669
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: have a run game, a lot of bad teams in

670
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: the NFL don't have a run game. How are you

671
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: gonna figure it out? That's part of playing football, that's

672
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: part of playing in the NFL. It's like, well, they

673
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: were down seven points going into the fourth quarter. Welcome

674
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: to Sundays. So what he showed in the stretch of games,

675
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: which were the most important games were the games everyone

676
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: was watching and against the best competition outweigh some of

677
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: the bad games or the bad moments that he had.

678
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: The other thing is how you react to bad plays,

679
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: which are inevitable in the NFL. Peyton Manning threw a

680
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: pick six in the Super Bowl. Tom Brady has thrown

681
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: pick six is in playoff games and I'm pretty sure

682
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl as well. Part of the deal comes

683
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: with the territory. How do you react? What am I

684
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: supposed to judge a guy throwing three or four touchdowns

685
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: beating the shit out of you? That's not normal. In

686
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. The Chiefs couple of years ago went to

687
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl won it. They went fifteen to two,

688
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: Like most of their games were one score game in

689
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. That's Sunday football. So I, like, my

690
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: issue isn't like I have no problem with people having

691
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: different opinions. We need more people with different opinions that

692
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: are like, yeah, it's just where it goes. If everyone

693
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: in the room is thinking the same way, you're probably

694
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: in this wrong room and you're probably gonna get to

695
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: a bad decision. Right. So I have no problem with

696
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: him thinking that, though I disagree and I'm on McAfee

697
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: side about that stretch of games, that is like I

698
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: know what I watched, and I know the teams and

699
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: the talent in which he was playing, Like that was

700
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: fucking impressive. Now that's also being said of like Fernando

701
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: Mendoz is not some like all time prospect, but in

702
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: my mind, in my opinion, he's a much better prospect

703
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: than Ty Simpson. But there'll be people in the league

704
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: that disagree with you. Uh, really quick. This segment is

705
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: change of scenery sponsored by my friends at Toyota. Now

706
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Joe Flacco have the opportunity for an

707
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: incredible change of scenery. Now it takes two to tango.

708
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: If the Steelers, who don't really have quarterbacks right now,

709
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: and who knows Daron Rodgers needed a backup plan and

710
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: last year, I know Tomlin's not there, but Tomlin thought

711
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: he was like Joe Montana meets John Elway. He could

712
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: have done what probably rarely happens. A guy plays for

713
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: every team in a division. He's obviously he just resigned

714
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: with the Bengals, where he signed last year before he

715
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: was traded. After he was traded from the Browns. That

716
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: would have been really cool to see a guy play.

717
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: Started his career for the Ravens, end up playing for

718
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: the Browns, traded to the Bengals, and then end his

719
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: career playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think Joe Flacco,

720
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: who I thought five or six years ago, wasn't just shot.

721
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's out of the league just He's

722
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: gonna be coaching high school football, hanging out with his family. Somehow,

723
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: he has dusted off whatever you know, cobwebs were on

724
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: those cleats and that shoulder and that elbow, and he's

725
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 1: actually been a pretty functional backup and the Bengals signed

726
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: him back, and he's pissed off. He's saying it's dumb

727
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: that most people in the league don't think he can start.

728
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: It's like, Joe, you're forty one, you can't move. You

729
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: can just basically throw the deep ball and check it down.

730
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: But I appreciate his chip on his shoulder still at

731
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: this day and age, with the amount of money he's made,

732
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: and why is he doing this, Like what is the

733
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: point of this, I'm not quite sure, but I'm really

734
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: really mad because I think it would have been really

735
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: cool to see him complete the four corners and just

736
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: have the NFC or the AFC North the completion of

737
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: playing for every team and obviously ending his career on

738
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: the rival to the team that kind of made his career,

739
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens, but we didn't get it. Now Joe Flacco

740
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: is back on the Bengals, which he didn't really start

741
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: on because last year he got traded in the middle

742
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: of the season from a divisional foe. Just bizarre situation.

743
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: So Toyota reminds us that when people are the destination,

744
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: it's not where you're headed, but who you're headed there with.

745
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 1: Learn more at Toyota dot com and find a vehicle

746
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: that fits your people. Okay, before we do a couple

747
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: of middleclock mail back questions, Uh, I do want to

748
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: pick my final four hard rock bet. I told you guys,

749
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: the two teams I hammered White, I did three, I

750
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: did Art, I did Kansas and Saint John's because I

751
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: knew they were going to play each other and whoever

752
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 1: won that game was going to have a lot of momentum.

753
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: And Patino didn't just win that game. It feels that

754
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 1: that walk off he calls the dude big balls bell. Uh.

755
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: He's won national championships before, for I'm just listen, It's

756
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: gonna be very difficult, but I'm taking the Johnnies to

757
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: make the final four. I also got to stick with

758
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: my guy, John cal Party, who I think is Taylor

759
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: made for the nil era. Taylor made for the nil air.

760
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: And the reason Arkansas has a chance to not only

761
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: make the Final four this year but be a dominant

762
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 1: team moving forward is not because Nolan Richardson and Corlis

763
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: Williamson in the nineties. It's because of Tyson Chicken and

764
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: the nil behind that program is big time. So I'm

765
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 1: going the Johnnys, going Patino, I'm going John cal Party.

766
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: After Nebraska, his son hits the game winning layup, then

767
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 1: the dude misses the half court shot, which was in

768
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: the basket. I feel like that same bounce ten times

769
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: it goes in like eight. Might just be a team

770
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: of destiny. They had never won an NCAA Tournament game

771
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: until this year. Now they're in the final four. You

772
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: look at the bracket like, I don't think it's impossible.

773
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: This one's a little bit more of my heart than

774
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: what I would bet on. But I'm taking Nebraska to

775
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: make the Final four and last but not least Michigan

776
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 1: feels like they've been in the Final four a lot

777
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: over the course of the last fifteen years. They're just good.

778
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to Arkansas, the Johnny's, Nebraska and Michigan. Let's

779
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: do a little midlecoff mail bag at John middlecoff at

780
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: John midle Coffin just wended with a couple questions. We'll

781
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: start with Alexander. If you were do podcast on something

782
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: beside sports, what would it be, politics, travel, life stories, etc. Well,

783
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: my wife gets very angry at me. I mean she could.

784
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: I feel like could travel NonStop. Not a big travel guy.

785
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: Not that I don't like traveling, Like I've been other

786
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: places and when I'm there, I enjoy it. Chicago last

787
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 1: year with Colin was cool. Got married to Nashville. Love

788
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: that place. I love it when i'm there. I just

789
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm not one of those guys who's, as my wife says,

790
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: my cup gets full when I know I got a

791
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: trip on the books that's not necessarily be again. Been

792
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: to Europe twenty plus years ago was awesome. If you

793
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: told me I never went again, I'm like, I like

794
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: Italy and Blake Cuomo looks as cool as anything online.

795
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: If you tell me I never go there. I'm not

796
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: gonna lose much sleep. So I probably wouldn't be the

797
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: guy for the travel podcast as someone who's trying to

798
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: change my diet dramatically. I kind of am a fat,

799
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: acid heart, So I would say I could do a

800
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: pretty good food podcast because I do love to eat.

801
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily a foodie because I kind of will

802
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: eat anything, but I do think that would kind of work.

803
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: Like all sorts of genres, nice stuff, crappy stuff, hole

804
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: in the wall, you name it. But I gotta get

805
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: better at what I put in my body. Politics, you

806
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: just get too angry when you know you talk about it.

807
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: I know I do, but people do. I also think

808
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: none of us have any impact on anything. Like one

809
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: thing I've learned besides being able to move you or

810
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: your family to an area that kind of fits with

811
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: what you want out of life, like, we don't really

812
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: have that much juice. So I just try to focus

813
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 1: on my business and my family and I guess friends

814
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: and nothing else really matters. When I see people online

815
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: getting so caught up, it's like, bro, you have no

816
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: influence over any of this shit. How are you? Is

817
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: this all fake? Because there's no way you can actually

818
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: be this mad, Like I don't think this is you're

819
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 1: actually acting like this offline, which I kind of believe

820
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: none of them really are, especially like the rich, you know, celebrity,

821
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: powerful people. I don't think they actually care. Once they

822
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: click off, they just go lead their life. So I

823
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I do a football podcast, do

824
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: a golf podcast. I try to interweave my takes in those,

825
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: so I haven't really never crossed my mind to do,

826
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, call her daddy Daddy. Pretty big pivot. I

827
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: try to describe it to a buddy the other day,

828
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, she got famous off talking about blowjobs.

829
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: Like He's like what, I'm like, No, I'm dead serious,

830
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: Like the gluck luck, the blowjob is not what just

831
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: put her on the map. I mean it made her

832
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: a rocket ship. I started listening. I'm like this just

833
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: because I was fascinated. It was like this podcast went

834
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: from zero to like one of the most popular things

835
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: in America and now it's like interviewing Oprah. You know.

836
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: I was like, it's a hard pivot, but uh, I listen,

837
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do for that cash. Uh,

838
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: with how young green Bay Packers change the back to

839
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: football with how young Green Bay Packers are. Is that

840
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: actually the advantage in today's NFL with cat flexibility or

841
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: does youth still show up as a weakness in big

842
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: time playoff moments with Jordan Love and his surrounding cast.

843
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: I think youth could be a little overrated, you know.

844
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean the Chiefs got Carloftis and Trent McDuffie and

845
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: they started going to Super Bowl and they got ready

846
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: to Tyreek Hill. So to me, youth can get brought

847
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: up to speed immediately when you have established people on

848
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: the team, When you have established winning veterans, they can

849
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: bring you along really quick. It's like you can go

850
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: into a job and not really know what you're doing,

851
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: but if you have a good mentor or people you're

852
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: working with to kind of show you the ropes, you

853
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: can turn the corner quick. Now, if you go to

854
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: a place like you get drafted by the Jets and

855
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: no one knows what they're doing, like, it can be

856
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: a problem and that's the reason they don't win many games.

857
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: But I think like when you look at a lot

858
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: of good teams, nature of the beasts, like you're just

859
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 1: gonna have some young players, and the other thing with

860
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: young players, like they get better. You know, old players

861
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: can get worse. Do you think John John Schneider could

862
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: get an equity position from the sale of the Seahawks. Uh,

863
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I mean, I'm sure he'd want it. Uh.

864
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: I just I would doubt that would happen. I don't

865
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: know if there are NFL rules, But if I was him,

866
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: I'd be like, listen, you can pay me whatever my

867
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: salary is. Cut that thing in half and give me

868
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: if I stay for the next ten years. Every year

869
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: is a tiny, tiny percentage, and maybe it adds up

870
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 1: to whatever a percent or two. I mean, do the math.

871
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: So I'm sure he would tell his agent, but I

872
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: don't think that's the way it works. Should they give

873
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: both those two guys a little dabble? Again, I don't

874
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: know the rules on that. Typically, rich people aren't just

875
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: big on just handing out equity though, especially with It's

876
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: one thing to get equity in a startup worth nothing.

877
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: It's another thing to give out equity in something that

878
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: sells for ten billion. Interesting, who's gonna buy it? Right?

879
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: I Mean, that's I think a lot of people think

880
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: Seattle Bezos. Does he want to own a football team?

881
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, but again, like ten billion to him

882
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: probably isn't that much, So maybe it's like, yeah, just

883
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: buy a football team whatever I'm in. My take would be,

884
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: if you're super rich, buying football team might be a

885
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: pain in the ass because if things go bad, everyone's

886
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: shitting on you, and then you just human nature, you

887
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: would try, like, if something was going bad, you would

888
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,959
Speaker 1: have to try to respond, right, So if like, Okay,

889
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: we gotta fire this guy, we gotta do that, and

890
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: they can just keep going bad and then everyone just

891
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: starts saying you're a village idiot. You're like, well, I

892
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: just pay ten billion dollars in cash for this. I

893
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: must not be that stupid. Create a thing called Amazon

894
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: that you guys are all using. But all of a sudden,

895
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: if Seattle went the wrong way, everyone would be all

896
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: over his ass. You know. Jimmy Haslam was just a

897
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: rich guy printing cash until he bought the browns Now

898
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: everyone thinks he's the worst owner ever. David Temper was

899
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: just one of the greatest stock traders of all time

900
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: until he heaves that that vodka soda at that chick

901
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: of the Jags game and then everyone's been talking shit

902
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: ever answer, So I don't know. I might just stay

903
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: rich and just leave me alone. If I want to

904
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: watch football, just watch it on my couch. Question for

905
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: the bag, at what point do bad teams really start

906
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: mailing it in? For example, when a team starts one

907
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: to five or zero and six next year, do they

908
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: start making changes quarterback, d line? Uh, it's probably pretty rare.

909
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: Like the Chiefs, they didn't view themselves a six win

910
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: team in training camp and then things, you know, hit

911
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: the skids. I think like when the Jets, the Dolphins,

912
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, the Browns, there're gonna be some of these

913
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: teams in training camp that aren't gonna go okay, we're

914
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 1: gonna be really good. So you have an idea. I

915
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 1: think you start talking about it in training camp. As

916
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: the season goes, let's try to work these guys in

917
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: and then obviously if you start really like oh and seven,

918
00:51:55,480 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: that happens. But the thing in the NFL, you can

919
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 1: be six and two and if you ain't getting it done,

920
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: you will get benched. This is a league that win

921
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: or lose. You have to play well because if you don't,

922
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: you will get replaced. Now, quarterback a little more sensitive.

923
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: Let's face, they're just treated differently. But all these other positions,

924
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: you cannot get smoked every week just because the team's good.

925
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: And you're a linebacker missing tackles, you're a safety, blown coverages,

926
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: you're a guard getting smoked, you will get replaced. I

927
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: think that's what makes the NFL so relatable to society.

928
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: In basketball, you're just kind of a made man. That guy.

929
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm making forty million dollars a year. What are you

930
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: gonna do to me? And the answer is nothing, really,

931
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you probably just keep playing. Right. In football,

932
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I've paid you a lot of money

933
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: just not getting done. See you, I might just cut you.

934
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: But guy, winning teams cut players. So I think you say,

935
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: losing teams I think every team thing with football the

936
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 1: first coaches do. Right. Let's just say a home game. Obviously,

937
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 1: if you're flying home, some of them wants a tape,

938
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: some of them might just have a peer and relax.

939
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: But definitely Sunday or Monday morning, right, so you play Sunday.

940
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: Let's say you have a home game at noon. You

941
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,479
Speaker 1: know you win or you lose, you shower whatever after

942
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: the game as a player, as a coach, go home

943
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: with your family, go to dinner. You're back in the

944
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: office pretty early. Some coaches are nuts, they're there at

945
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: like four thirty five. Some coaches maybe work their way

946
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: in at six seven, get a workout. You typically have

947
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 1: some sort of staff meeting before lunch to go over

948
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: the grades of the tape, because probably like eight or

949
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: nine you watch the tape, you've watched it individually, and

950
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: then you watch it like offense defense, and maybe the

951
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: head coach, if he's an offensive defensive guy, is in

952
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: there with you, and you're going through it and grading

953
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: it and evaluating everybody. So if you're the offense, THEOC

954
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: probably has or the head coach has the clicker, the

955
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: wide receiver coach, the aligned coach, the tight end coach,

956
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: the running back coach, quarterback coach. They're all in that room,

957
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, with their already gray. It's kind of going

958
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: over it. So over the course of a month, like

959
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: in September, you could be four and oh, but like,

960
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: hey man, our fucking right tackle is not getting it done.

961
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: Do we need to trade for one? Do we need

962
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: to claim a guy? Do we need to start competing

963
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,720
Speaker 1: the backup in practice. So that's the thing with football.

964
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: I think most jobs, I mean, unless you're like Justin

965
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: Jefferson could have a bad month, you know what I mean.

966
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 1: The majority of players, though, are getting evaluated very very

967
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: thoroughly every single week, win loser, draw, and that that's

968
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 1: what I think makes the NFL so intense. It's why

969
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: when you see these players, these former players talk about

970
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: the anxiety every week, all these team meetings on Wednesday,

971
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: because it's just an intense environment. It doesn't matter if

972
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: you're ten and oh or two and eight. You gotta

973
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: fucking have your head on a swivel. No good team

974
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 1: like has a complacent environment, and then bad teams even

975
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: if it has a bad environment, everyone's on edge because

976
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: you know at any moment you get cut, fired, traded, whatever.

977
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: So good teams everyone's kind of like, hey, we gotta

978
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: this isn't good enough. We gotta people are coming for us.

979
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: Bad teams everyone thinks like this could be my last day.

980
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: It's just football. Listening to today's podcast, I found it

981
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: funny that one of the ads is for a pet Er.

982
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: I love that Fugazi rant. Some people hit me up

983
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:37,399
Speaker 1: on some of the ads. The automated ads, they're called

984
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: programmatic ads are typically which that is funny, are sometimes

985
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: locally driven. Someone's like, middle Coff, you got this political ad. Well,

986
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: if you live in a certain area, you know, iHeart.

987
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: We just buy these ad platforms, like the guy that

988
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: lives in Florida is gonna get a different ad than

989
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:02,439
Speaker 1: the dude that lives in Minnesota in Seattle. So some

990
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: of the now, some of them are national, right, like

991
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: McDonald's or something. But sometimes some of these ads are

992
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: locally driven. Which is the power of what we do

993
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: is you know, it's it's based on where you are.

994
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: Why radios fucked? Also, a listener gave you an idea

995
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: for the fans of the show. It's stupid, but you

996
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 1: could call your fans the Eagles since they're all obsessed

997
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 1: with three and out. I don't think how we would

998
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: like that joke, but that's a pretty good one. Yeah,

999
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: we just gotta when you know it, it's like if

1000
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: I ever hear it and I go, that's it. I've

1001
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: just never heard one. It's like, that's it. Who knows?

1002
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: Like knowing what I know? Now? What I name the

1003
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: show three and Out? I don't know. I just I

1004
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: remember needing a football name. I wanted something kind of generic.

1005
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: I remember Daniel Jeremiah moved the sticks. I'm like, that

1006
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: is just a great name, move the sticks. Certain names

1007
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: just just work right, pardon my take. Certain names just

1008
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: call her daddy. I mean, they're just certain names. Like

1009
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: that was a genius name. Three and out. I would

1010
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: I have renamed it like after I started doing it.

1011
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: Who knows? But too deep in and out of change.

1012
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,439
Speaker 1: Question for the bag Ravens fan, how do you think

1013
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: the team should approach the first round? I still have

1014
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: major concerns with a pass rush. While Trey helps, unless

1015
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: Matabuque is healthy and Mike Green takes a major step,

1016
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: I struggle to see this unit not big a weakness, again,

1017
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: considering no one had more than five sacks. I have

1018
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: similar concerns with the pass catchers zay as they and

1019
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: in aging Mark Andrews are their only proven guys. I

1020
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: see mock drafts having us take an interior offensive lineman,

1021
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: but that seems like a reach on a position the

1022
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: Ravens have had success drafting in later rounds. Well, you're

1023
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: kind of the sweet spot because I don't know if

1024
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: there's a wide receiver worth taking there at fourteen, one

1025
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: of the pass rushers could definitely drop. I think you

1026
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: would have to think long and hard about that. I mean,

1027
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: Trey Henderson's coming off a major injury where he played

1028
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: seven games, and he's an older player, so like, what's

1029
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: his What would you say is over under sacks? Is

1030
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: next year? If I said ten and a half? Like

1031
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: to me, if you tell me he's healthy for seventeen games,

1032
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: like he's getting double digit sacks, would I bet on

1033
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: him playing all these games? I don't know if I would.

1034
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: So I think they're very, very invested in him. We've

1035
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: seen some older pass rushers recently like kind of get

1036
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: banged up, so you know, when they change teams, I

1037
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: think you would one hundred percent take a guy if

1038
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: it's worth taking. In fairness to them, they draft pretty well,

1039
00:58:56,360 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: so you know, Kyle Hamilton's a Flowers, Ronnie Stanley. Times

1040
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,439
Speaker 1: they've had you know, higher picks. They they've nailed them.

1041
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: So I DaCosta maybe kind of a dick, might not

1042
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: have been, you know, the most nice guy to me,

1043
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: but I respect their franchise and how they draft. So

1044
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: now he's got his pickback. No Max Crosby, I would

1045
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: I would say defensive line would be would be an

1046
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: area in which one they could go, uh like mackay Lemon.

1047
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: Kind of feels like a raven. A little bit could

1048
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: see that, I guess. Remember Greg co Sell did not

1049
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: like him. I liked him when I watched him. But

1050
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: in a perfect world I would draft receivers in the

1051
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: second round. I would be much more inclined to take

1052
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: lineman when on that Audie else, see you tomorrow. Peace.

1053
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: The volume
