And what's 35 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: a uh in a time where time and space is 36 00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: very confusing, we might as well play around a little bit, right, boys, Absolutely, 37 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: why not play with it, play with the space. I 38 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: love having Um.

I like getting a chance to peer into 48 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: for instance, Gregg's UM, I believe maybe that's a living 49 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: room space. I just saw a female, a woman walk 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: walk by in the background, So I wouldn't see that 51 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: if we were all sitting in a studio. I mean, 52 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: you know, you know who it was.

Who got some what from the 67 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: team perspective? Who got some good values? Who maybe made 68 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: some bad deals?

I let it with 75 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: a good contract there. How about that excellent way to 76 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: sell it west by the way, Thank you. That's that 77 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: should keep the listeners plugged into the end of the show. 78 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: All right, boys, I'm happy to hear that everyone's healthy. Erica, 79 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: you look healthier than ever. I feel like you've been 80 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: doing something. Are you exfoliating? What's happening with you? Yeah? 81 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: You know? Um, not showering every day has actually been 82 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: pretty nice. So when I do get all, you know what, 83 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I was gonna just say something like 84 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: hussied up, But I don't know if that's like if 85 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: that's allowed, so we'll have to look into that. Um, 86 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: but yeah, no, going on runs, getting out of the 87 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: house a little bit, feeling good, and how are the 88 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: quarantine beards coming along? Gentlemen, Marx looks really nice. I 89 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: gotta say, I'll show you a little bit. It's a 90 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: little look. It's in that sort of, um admittedly creepy 91 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: stage where I just you know, the people in my 92 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: own home were wondering where this is going. I can't 93 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: get a haircut for two months either. That's another deep 94 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: concern of mine. Greg's is looking decent. You know, you've 95 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: got your patches like normal, problematic exactly. It's more I'm 96 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm on Mark's corner too, that the lack of a 97 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: haircut is going to become a problem sooner than later. 98 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: Dan looks hot. Really you think it's okay? It's yeah, 99 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. And West looks like 100 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: he's about to deliver his baby himself. It's the hermit 101 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: starter kit, you know what, West, I thought you were 102 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: joking about that, and then I had a nice conversation 103 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: with your wife on the phone. It was no hanky panky. 104 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: Just for the record, West, Um, and uh, she said 105 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: she had legitimately had you going on YouTube to do 106 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: some type of cursory research into delivering a baby out 107 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: of a you know thing. Well, this is Wayne heavily 108 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: on her mind. This was the story of our weekend. 109 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: She's been seeing tweets where a hospital in New York 110 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: the husband was not allowed in because, uh, there's no 111 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: room at the end, basically because of a coronavirus. So 112 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: she's been researching. She's a little worried that there's not 113 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: gonna be enough room even for the people giving birth, 114 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: so she's been looking up alternative places to have a baby. Um, 115 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: we may have what is it called a doulah, Yeah, 116 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: we may have one of those. There may be a 117 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: birth in the bathtub. We've been told by neighbors. Fireman. 118 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: We saw Lindsay Rhodes over the weekend from six ft 119 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: away and she told us that her husband has delivered babies. 120 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: He's a fireman. So nine one one might be our 121 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: best bet. But got two months right, it's it's um 122 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: if there's something to be grateful there. If it was 123 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: if you were like two weeks away, that would be 124 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: um an even bigger concern than I'm sure it already, 125 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: is Jesus. Well, if it was two weeks away, then 126 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: I would start to worry about it. She's more in 127 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: the two months, worry not west. You know Ben Leevenberg's 128 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: wife as a duela and be The children that are 129 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: born underwater, UM, no, are notably calmer individuals. Um. I 130 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: can attest that my two children were not born underwater, 131 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: but it's not a terrible um strategy. You don't keep 132 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: them underwater. They're quickly brought out from that, but they're 133 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,799 Speaker 1: coming from essentially a sack of water inside the mother's body. 134 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: To to let you know, I hear you. It feels 135 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: a little to Los Angeles for me personally, but I 136 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna get much of a vote when 137 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: it matters. I'm still hung up on the fact that 138 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: Lindsay Rhodes husband, who by the way, is essentially like 139 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: a super hot surfer firefighter guy, he's also delivering babies. 140 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: That's a good job by Lindsay r Oats. I mean, 141 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: he's a very lucky man too, but wow, what a 142 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: combination right there. Hot fireman. Not just what this is 143 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: actually iced tea, but it does look like whiskey. So 144 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm drinking it out of a whiskey glass. That's what 145 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: we would expect you to say. I'm in back. I'm 146 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: back into because what you gotta do is you gotta 147 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: control the drinking in this situation. And um, there is 148 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: a temptation to just drink every day during this but 149 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: I have now relaxed into more like a weekend drinking 150 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: scenario and then keeping it sober during the week. You 151 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: gotta have set little, um, you know, walls for yourself 152 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: and barriers during this unforeseen time in our lives. That 153 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: sounds nice. I don't think a single person viewing this 154 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: is convinced that nice tea. But continue on with the narrative. 155 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: It's also it's a good it's a good idea. We're 156 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: here Monday afternoon. We'll revisit Friday's show after our fifth grade. 157 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: See how it's going. Yeah, that's fair. Alright, let's do 158 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: some newsday. You will find me company the landslide in 159 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: a paint spen over in the sky a little. That 160 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: is my boy, the eternally great uh Liam Gallagher, formerly 161 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: of Oasis, showing people how to wash your hands during 162 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: the coronavirus pandemic. And you did a fine job, I 163 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: have to say, and I liked this little message at 164 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: the end as well that takes me back about twenty 165 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: five years. I had not about that. I had no 166 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: idea that was actually Liam Gallagher.

He's been all over it recently.

The celebrities are struggling 184 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: a little bit because they don't know what to do 185 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: in their giant houses.

They're giving back by 192 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: showing how they wash their hands, which I feel like 193 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: it's just like a fancy way to show how nice 194 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: your kitchen is. Oh yeah, look at me. I'm gonna 195 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: go to sinc Number eight. You know, warm rushing, warm water, 196 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: beautiful soaps that cost like eighty dollars a bar. Please. 197 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's get into the news. Uh. The Saints 198 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: made a move over the weekend that definitely helps them. 199 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: They signed Emmanuel Sanders, formerly of the forty Niners, to 200 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: a two year, sixteen million dollar deal. Um, this is 201 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: the same Manny Sanders got traded from the Broncos to 202 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: the Niners and then really had a good impact in 203 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: San Francisco with Jimmy Garoppolo and company. The end of 204 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: his season was hampered by an injury, but he's already 205 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: shown he can come back from injury, made it back 206 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: from an achilles uh in his time with Denver. So 207 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: he's a guy. He's older, he's thirty three, um, but 208 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: he showed last year he can play. And the Saints 209 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: Chris Westling, were a team that, despite having the magnificent 210 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, really needed another guy to add to that 211 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: wide receiver group. This feels like a really nice pairing. Yeah, 212 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: I love this signing, and I think we spent most 213 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: of last year saying we needed somebody besides Michael Thomas 214 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: to step up in this offense, and Jared Cook ended 215 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: up doing that in the second half of the season 216 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: when Alvin Kamaro was injured. So now you've got Camara 217 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: coming back healthy, Michael Thomas, the best receiver on the planet, 218 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, Jared Cook, uh, You've got Malcolm Jenkins added 219 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: to the defense. I feel like with the forty Niners 220 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: losing DeForest Buckner, losing Emmanuel Sanders by by the time 221 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: training camps open, whenever that happens to be, the Saints 222 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: are gonna be people's consensus pick. For the NFC. They're 223 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: the safest pick I think to make the playoffs in 224 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: the entire NFL. Maybe with the Chiefs, Like I give 225 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: Mickey Loomis their general man, sure a lot of credit. 226 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: They are always the team going into the off season 227 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: that people are overly concerned about their salary cap and 228 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: then they always managed to make it work by moving 229 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: a lot of money around. And this contract Chris Westling 230 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: made the best contracts list. I don't like this slander. 231 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: You gave it right off the top because it's perfect 232 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: for a team that like is the ultimate win now team. 233 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: You gotta figure out like Manuel Sanders is a win 234 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: now receiver. He's not gonna honk a lot if he 235 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: doesn't get a lot of targets. He fits in well. 236 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: He's known as a great team like he's a perfect 237 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: like role player to add to that team. That's an 238 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: article for you. Do do your list of win now 239 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: teams this offseason. So I was gonna say, do your 240 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: list of guys who honked too much. That's a long list. 241 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's Thursday's show. We're gonna be needing topics. 242 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: Someone should be writing these down. I think that's something 243 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: nice you see happen in the NFL A little bit 244 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: is when someone like Sean Payton goes out and faces 245 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: the forty Niners and in you know, in the game 246 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: last year that was one of the better games we've 247 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: seen in years, and it's Emmanuel Standards who torches them 248 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: for a hundred and fifty seven yards a touchdown receiving 249 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: and then throws a thirty five yard bomb to Raheem Mostart. 250 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, this guy can do a little bit 251 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: of everything. He's also, you know, in a weird, very 252 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: weird offseason. A veteran has been around so many different 253 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: offenses that you can just sort of account on him 254 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: to produce right away no matter what they introduce him to. Alright, 255 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: moving on, UH quarterback news, The New England Patriots are 256 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: obviously a fascination of everyone now in the wake of 257 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's decision UH to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 258 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: and they have to address their quarterback room now. Jared 259 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: Stidham is a guy that they seem to like, but everyone, 260 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: or a lot of people seem to think, come on, 261 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: that's not how this is actually gonna play out, is it. 262 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: Who else is going to be in that room while 263 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: they added someone Brian Hoyer, Uh, the veteran quarterback who 264 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: I feel like it's been with a million teams and 265 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: now he's been on the Patriots for a third time. 266 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: So he comes over uh and joins that room, essentially 267 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: replaces Brady's roster spot for the time being. Greg you, um, 268 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: are a man who supports the Patriots on some level. 269 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: Do you believe there is a a big splash in 270 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: store for New England, either in the next week or 271 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: two or in the draft or is this potentially a 272 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: real situation with Stidham. I mean, the only thing, um, 273 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: that they're gonna make a splash, and it is the 274 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: price of my house on Stidham Corner going up. I mean, uh, 275 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: we've been talking. I've been talking about this on the 276 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: podcast for a while. I thought I thought he was 277 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: a legitimate part of the equation, and this Brian Hoyer 278 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: sign makes me think it's over. I mean, they are 279 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: rolling into two thousand and twenty, I think with Hoyer, 280 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: Stidham and maybe a rookie to be named later. But 281 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: this was the strongest sign yet that Stidham is gonna 282 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: be a huge factor and they don't have much cap space, 283 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: and it wouldn't surprise me if they draft someone to 284 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: u it. But Stidham, I think, is a guy they 285 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: have to believe in, or else they wouldn't be acting 286 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: how they're acting. And Hoyer to me is like kind 287 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: of the thing that tells us what they want blamed 288 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: to me, how the Patriots are not going to be 289 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: a bad team in two thousand and twenty. I know 290 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: they have the greatest coach of all time, but the 291 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: roster is not impressive, especially on offense. And when we 292 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: see these teams that go from ten wins down to 293 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: three or four wins, it's because they don't have a quarterback, 294 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: and it's because the quarterback play is abysmal. And whatever, 295 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: Jared Stidham had a great preseason, We've seen tons of 296 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: guys have great preseasons and then flame out and be nothing. 297 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: I just this, this offense gives me no confidence whatsoever. Yeah, 298 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: I just right. They'd had a low wattage roster in 299 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: many ways last year. And you know, we could talk 300 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: about the Vikings all day long for letting people go 301 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: left and right. And it's not that like stars are 302 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: leaving New England, but people with key roles from a 303 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: year ago were all gone, so their drafts suddenly becomes 304 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: sue were important and I just part of me. I'm 305 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: not rooting against the Patriots necessarily, but it would be 306 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: amazing to see Belichick on a team that simply cannot 307 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: hang with others and have to deal with that on 308 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: a week toweek basis because I feel like he's kind 309 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: of giving a gigantic middle finger to everyone insane. I'm 310 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: not panicking, I'm not signing stars. I'm letting people go 311 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: and signing nobody. I mean, you could have had Dalton, 312 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: you could have gotten Jamis Winston. Never felt like a 313 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: Patriots quarterback to me, but there were guys out there 314 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: and Brian Hoyer does not exactly UM get the season 315 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: ticket holder rushing to the gate to see eight of 316 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: those affairs in Foxboro. UM. I certainly said it with 317 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: a dose of glee because as a fan of an 318 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: a f C East team that's not the Patriots, this 319 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: has been a cause for celebration tom Brady leaving. But 320 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: I kind of mean it that the Patriots aren't special 321 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: if you take Tom Brady out of the equation. There now, 322 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: like so many other teams that are looking for a quarterback, 323 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: and I think Belichick's greatness as a coach. You know, 324 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: you're not gonna question that, But is there any scenario 325 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: where this is a truly contending team I'm talking Super 326 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: Bowl contending team in the way it's presently constituted. No, 327 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: And I think it'd be hard for anyone to argue that. 328 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: I don't know, do you. I would argue it just 329 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: because football history has teams that you just don't see coming, 330 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: and they would have to be a team like that, 331 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: the two thousand one Patriots led by Tom Brady being 332 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: one of them. I mean that that was one of them. 333 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: That was a one in a million thing, you know, right, 334 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying there, I'm saying it there is. There'd 335 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: be less surprising teams to make a run and be 336 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: relevant than the team that had the number one defense 337 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL last year with most of the key 338 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: people back on that defense led by you know, a 339 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: head coach whoes you know, had a history of finding 340 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: ways to do things even with or without Tom Brady. 341 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they're going to be like a super Bowl team. 342 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: But the X factor that we're not, you know, talking about, 343 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: I was like how good is stid I'm gonna be. 344 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: We have no idea. They don't really know how he's 345 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: gonna be in the regular season. But if he is 346 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: the week one star order, like there is absolutely a 347 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: chance that he's a capable quarterback or else, I don't 348 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: think they would have as much faith in him as 349 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: they do the problem. You know, they just have to 350 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: have a plan. B Brian Hoyer is making a million 351 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: dollars on this contract, so he is not getting even 352 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: decent backup money. He is getting like I may or 353 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: may not make the team type of money. Greg, let 354 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: me ask you one quick thing, like do you I 355 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: you know I have feeling I know your answer is 356 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: gonna be. But the Patriots being in essentially cap hell 357 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: right now, and you can't look at the roster and 358 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: say there's stars all over the place like with with 359 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: another another team that might be paying five or six 360 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: all pros. I mean, do you put any of that 361 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: at the feat of Belichick where there has been a 362 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: number of questionable drafts. Number One, the team cannot go 363 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: out and really sign anyone right now because of the 364 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: cap space. And I know that we all talk about 365 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: Belichick being the greatest GM along with everything else. But 366 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: they're not exactly in a great place to roll out 367 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: um a continuity plan post Tom Brady right now. No, 368 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: they're not, and I think they would have been a 369 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: different points. I guess I would just push back that 370 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: they probably like their roster more than everyone else does. 371 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I think their defense of their defense in 372 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: terms of you know, moving from the back to the front, 373 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: their secondary is very much intact. They do have the 374 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: defensive player of the year, so we say they don't 375 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: have stars. They have an offensive line where they haven't fade. 376 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: He's gonna fade quickly. They have an offensive line pairing 377 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: where they have a center who has been great for them, 378 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: who will be returning, one of the best guard combinations 379 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: in the league, a first round pick at left tackle 380 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: they love, and one of the better right tackles in 381 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: the league. So that's like one of the better offensive 382 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: lines on paper, a deep backfield. I don't think they're 383 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: like a great team, but I think you could find 384 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: half the teams in the league with a lot less 385 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: just pure talent than the Patriots. Still, I think it's 386 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: so much positive spin. I think it's time and and 387 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: the counter to that is I think it's a fair 388 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: time to question everything, even mark your comment just now 389 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick is a great GM all that was 390 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: all kind of built on the back of Tom Brady 391 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,239 Speaker 1: being his quarterback. So I know he's made a lot 392 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: of shrewd moves throughout his career, but what can he 393 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: do when he doesn't have the greatest quarterback of all time. 394 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: He's also one of the best trade partner. I mean, 395 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: he has fleeced a billion people with trades and basically 396 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: taught other teams how to negotiate trades. So I do 397 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 1: give him. I don't think he's just it's not been 398 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: like here's the thing. He didn't have the greatest post 399 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: or something here, he didn't have the greatest quarterback of 400 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: all time last year, I stid him is a major 401 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: question mark and corter in the playoffs, right, could could 402 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: totally sink their team, right, but it was it would 403 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: have been the best season. They won twelve games. As 404 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: kind of my point, like they won twelve games. We 405 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: can't have it both ways. That we talked about how 406 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: bad Tom Brady was last year, I mean it's pretty 407 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: much was accepted on this podcast that at best he 408 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: was mediocre and they had an easy schedule and maybe 409 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: they're more like a ten win team, but they they 410 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: found a way to win twelve games that that actually happened. 411 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: They beat some good teams along the way in that 412 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: that shows to me there was kind of a backbone 413 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: that wasn't all based around the quarterback. The problem is, 414 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: is Stidham gonna be okay if he's really the guy, 415 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: or is he gonna be a major, major problem, And 416 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: that's certainly possible. Yeah, I don't think Patriots are gonna stink, 417 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: but I just whether they're actually a team that matters 418 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,239 Speaker 1: right now is more what I'm talking about. And you 419 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: can't have it both ways either. You can't call them 420 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: the number one defense when you sat here and said 421 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: in the last two months of the season that their 422 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: defense was getting worse every week and are no longer dominant. 423 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: I don't trust them on defense to be that good again. 424 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: I think they have it like an It's an asset 425 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: what they have on defense there. I expect them to 426 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: be better than average, but you're right, I don't expect 427 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: them to be nearly that good. Their offense is gonna 428 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 1: have to be better. I don't think any of us 429 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: have asked this question, Greg, how are you? How you 430 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: holding up? I mean, in addition to the rest of 431 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,239 Speaker 1: the world upside down, the Patriots obviously are matching the 432 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: times that they live in. Even the Red Sox lose 433 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: Chris Sale to Tommy John surgery, that that one really hurt. 434 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: In the Rosenthal household, there was like we we we 435 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: had a hard time getting up that morning. I mean, 436 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: what what is how are you good? It's funny some 437 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: of the listeners and you said I had an unemotion 438 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: in a response to Brady leaving, and I feel so differently, 439 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: like gratitude is an emotion and I and I'm not 440 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: just saying that, Like I feel that more than ever 441 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: right now, not about the Patriots, But aren't the five 442 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: Like haven't you guys thought a lot about how lucky 443 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: we are during this last week or two compared to 444 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: like all the people out there, many of whom we 445 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: know and don't, who are a lot more vulnerable, you 446 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like we have jobs that are 447 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: paying up. You're kind of taking this in a different 448 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: direction right now, But I feel that I I was joking around. 449 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: I feel the same thing about the Patriots, like they 450 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: could go out in sixteen forever, and I'd be grateful 451 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: for what they gave. I think that's you do occasionally 452 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: have a disconnect with the larger Patriots fan base, and 453 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: I think you just delved into a disconnect right there 454 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: with the oh and sixteen forever. I'm not sure you're 455 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: gonna get too many to sign up for that in 456 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: New England. I I you're a very optimistic Jets fan, Dan, 457 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: and I'm I was always kind of the same way. 458 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: When the Patriots are bad or or the Red Sox 459 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: are bad, it's the same way. People are like, I 460 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: don't know the people that have like full time jobs 461 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: and everything that are winding and I don't know. I 462 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, well, it sounds like you're doing great 463 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: the Patriots also part ways was Stephen Gaskowski, So the 464 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: end of an era at the quarterback and the kicker 465 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: position he'd been there forever. He's thirty six years old, 466 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: missed the end of last year with a hip surgery. 467 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: Seemed to be trending in the wrong direction, UH in general, 468 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: as he aged, so this is probably pretty easy decision 469 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: that saves some money for the Pats. So that is 470 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: another position, UH that has some unrest. Who is their kicker? 471 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: Last year at the end of the Folk Hero, I 472 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: wonder if he's back. They had like eight of them. 473 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: I really didn't expect a guy on kicker corner to 474 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: be asking who the Patriots kicker was, Like, you know what, 475 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: My my mind is a little scattered right now. I 476 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: have to admit in other former in other former Patriots news, UH, 477 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler of VSPN reports of the Colts intend to 478 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: keep Jacoby Brissette. Jake Briskett, who of course was the 479 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: starting quarterback last year after Andrew lux surprise retirement, would 480 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: figure it now to slide into the number two role 481 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: behind Philip Rivers, who signed the one year, twenty five 482 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: million dollar deal UH to join the Colts in the 483 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: short term. So I even read it, and Peter King 484 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: of NBC wrote that it wasn't even you know, beyond thought, 485 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: that beyond a reason that Jake Priscott could be the 486 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: future answer in India. I don't buy that at all. 487 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any going back once you move 488 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: away from him for a year or however long this 489 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: last with Philip Rivers, but he makes so much sense 490 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: to me as their number two. Yeah, when you um 491 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: asked me too in bed with the cool at the 492 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: press commerce, I I told you what what was going 493 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: on with Jacobe? Did they love him as a human being, 494 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: They just don't want him to be their starting quarterback 495 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: in and I think they still believe in his development too, 496 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: and they are year to year at quarterback. Rivers his 497 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: one year million when none of that money pushed into 498 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 1: the future. I think if he plays the way he 499 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: did last year in Los Angeles, he's gone, and maybe 500 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: they go back to Brissette and draft another guy. But 501 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: it would not surprise me to see Brissette under center 502 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: next year. I mean, they've also given away their first 503 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: round picks, so if they wanted to make some sort 504 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: of splash and get one of these rookies in the 505 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: first round, they can't do it. They got the Forest 506 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 1: Buckner instead. Right, Brissette was a guy that their contract. 507 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: I know they love him, but I think if they 508 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: didn't have their that contract where all of his money 509 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: almost was guaranteed this year, that they would have gotten 510 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: rid of him. They wouldn't be paying him sixteen million 511 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: dollars to be someone's backup. But he's one of those 512 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: guys that it would have been more costly to get 513 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: rid of him than it would be to keep him. 514 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: And if you're in that scenario, he's not going to 515 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: be a pain in the locker room. He is a 516 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: good guy. He is a great backup quarterback at the 517 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: very least, So why not just uh, why not just 518 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: keep old Jake around. I'm not buying he's anyone's quarterback 519 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: of the future. This guy's twenty eight or nine years old. 520 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: He's almost as sneaky old as Taysom Hill. Well. I 521 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: don't know if he's the backup or the quarterback, but 522 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: they couldn't find themselves in a situation next year where 523 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: he's their best right and he's been there for three years. 524 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: That's the thing when they talk about his development. I mean, 525 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: he's he's been on that team for three seasons now. 526 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: It's it's not like he just got there. I would 527 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: think Jake brisk had becoming their quarterback again would be 528 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: a last case scenario for them, because they they said 529 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: it at the end of the regular season that they 530 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: got a huge sample size of Brissette and he didn't 531 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: do enough for them. So what would sit him on 532 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: the bench for a year. Bringing him back make him 533 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: their answer a quarterback unless it was an absolute necessity 534 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: where they couldn't find anyone else to play the position. Yep, 535 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: it makes sense, all right. More quarterback news. The Panthers 536 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: trade Kyle Allen to the Redskins. Do we see Kyle 537 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: Allen in London? Was at the quarterback when they beat 538 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: the Bucks? Indeed, yes, speaking of London, we were at 539 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: a somewhat historic game because in that game where the 540 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: Panthers beat the Bucks, in that scene in St. Peter 541 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: King Piece I alluded to a few minutes ago, that 542 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: was the game where the Bucks internally were like, oh no, 543 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: we can't this winstant thing is not gonna work. When 544 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: he threw five picks and had two fumbles. Uh, So 545 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: we were there, We could say, We could always say 546 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: we were there. It was an intense melt chop and 547 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: we were like on the sideline attempting to do sideline 548 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: reporting in one of the lasting drive it off, but 549 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: we pulled it off. But I mean to be thirty 550 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: forty yards away from watching one of the more intense 551 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: quarterback melts of all time was memorable. There was anyway 552 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: Kyle and had a little had his moment. Uh And 553 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: I think it kind of crested in that game in 554 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: London where they had I think had won four or 555 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: five or something along those lines, and then he kind 556 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: of revealed himself to be not maybe the answer. So 557 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: Tom Pelliser reported the Panthers trade Alan to the Redskins, 558 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: uh per a source informed of the situation, the Redskins 559 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: are sending a fifth round pick back in exchange for Alan. 560 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: The trade comes after the Panthers sn XFL star P 561 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: J Walker, who lit up that league and it's abbreviated 562 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: first season, So some musical chairs in the backup positions 563 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: for two squads. It's great news for Dwayne Haskins. You know, 564 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: we talked about where is Jamis Winston Gonna Land, Where 565 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: are there some spots you could see for Randy Dalton, 566 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: like who like where the legit competition come in? We 567 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: said Washington, And this makes me think they're not going 568 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: that route. And Kyle Allen supposedly might get a chance 569 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: to compete with Dwayne Haskins a little bit or be 570 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: a guy that's there if Haskins struggles, because Ron Rivera 571 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: likes him. But give me a break. If they're going 572 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: to Kyle Allen that is saying good night to the 573 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins era. I think it's interesting that, you know, 574 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: if you're Ron Rivera, you're trying. He seems to want 575 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: to sign every Panthers player he can, and Brandon being 576 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: up in Buffalo keeps stealing these Panthers players away for 577 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, and there's this little inner NFC war. I 578 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting also to watch to see Lewis 579 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: Riddick on Twitter said us that p J Walker, who 580 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: really was pretty awesome um in Houston with the with 581 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: the XFL. I don't know what you can say. The 582 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: competition was that he thought he might steal snaps and 583 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: starts away ultimately from Teddy Bridgewater this year. How I'll 584 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: wait to see it, but he is an interesting player. 585 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,239 Speaker 1: In other news, the New York Giants have added some 586 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: depth to their backfield by way of Dion Lewis, the 587 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: twenty nine year old running back who was cut loose 588 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: by the Titans after this season. It's a one year deal. 589 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: Say Kwan Barkley obviously the man there, but now Dean 590 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: Lewis joins that team. In other news, Nelson Aglare signs 591 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: a one year contract with the Raiders, right eyes and Aguilar, 592 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: who had his moments in Philly but really could never 593 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: win the trust of the fans and apparently of the 594 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: coaching staff in front office because of his poor pair 595 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: of hands. Uh. He now gets a fresh start with 596 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: the Raiders who are still looking to um improve on 597 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: that wider suit receiver group that just got killed by 598 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown going nuts. So that a look for the 599 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: Raiders to address that in the draft. Well, I feel 600 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: like after five years of Nelson aghil Are, the one 601 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: thing that I feel like I have a good sense 602 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: of is that he can only be a good receiver 603 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: when he's playing primarily in the slot. That's when the 604 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: Super Bowl year, when he had a good year, he 605 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: was playing the slot. And the Raiders have Greg's boy 606 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro there. I don't like him as the number 607 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: two receiver playing outside. Mm hmm. They need they need 608 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: some more receivers. I mean they have signed to just 609 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: about everyone possible and in the off season like Mike 610 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: Mack's getting busy, Eli Apple, Corey little to Nick Nick Koyaikowski, 611 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: Carl Nasson, Malik Collins, are Witten Mariota like They have 612 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: signed a little bit of everything, but the one position 613 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: that was probably the most desperate was receiver, and A 614 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: isn't really doing a lot for me. Neither nor is 615 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: Jason Witten at the tight end option. But they have 616 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: some pieces there as well. Greg, did Hunter Renfroze rookie 617 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: season well, not spectacular, but certainly productive from where he's 618 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: taken in the draft. Did that change how you feel 619 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: about rookies with suspect hairlines? No, I think that's a 620 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: red flag. I mean, you're not going to be respected 621 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 1: in the locker room. And um my thing with renfro 622 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: was just throwing the ball to him early in the 623 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: season was wildly inefficient and h he he played quite 624 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: well down the stretch. I'm not giving up. I'm not 625 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: saying that this guy is gonna be great, though. Let's 626 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: come down so you're not a lot with your hair 627 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: these days too. I mean, we've we've had people couched 628 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: inside our own UH network that we went to a 629 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: few media summits, and I can think of one individual 630 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: who suddenly, after years of being I thought bald, showed 631 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: up with a thick, full head of hair out of nowhere. 632 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: And Jason Witten is an example right on the raiders 633 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: of the creative ways you can handle things. Greg, did 634 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: you say you're not giving up on giving up on 635 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: Hunter Redfroll? Yeah, exactly. Finally in the news, ESPN says 636 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: no thank you to UH, or excuse me, Peyton Manning 637 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: says no thank you to ESPN, The Post has learned sources. 638 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: According to Andrew Martin, who is just all over this 639 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: story for the Post, UH sources say the overriding factor 640 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: was whether Manning finally wanted to enter the broadcast booth 641 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: and commit to the weekly schedule in the fall. The 642 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: answer remains no. So from where we were a few 643 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,959 Speaker 1: weeks ago, when it was very exciting the thought of 644 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: Al Michael's and Peyton Manning being the Monday Night dream 645 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,959 Speaker 1: team UH and Mike Rico getting his shot on Sunday 646 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: Night earlier than expected with Chris Collinsworth for NBC, none 647 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: of that's happening. Al remains with NBC and Collinsworth and ESPN, 648 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: I don't know where they go quite quite honestly, because Uh, 649 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: it's clear they want to make a change, but they 650 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: don't have a solution right now. And if your booger 651 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: and test it tour. It's it's obvious, you know, it's 652 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: a business and that I guess it's hard not to 653 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: take it personally. But they are publicly at least it's 654 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: being publicly reported trying to replace you. Can you bring 655 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: those guys back? How does it work? I don't know. 656 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna find out. Kurt Warner was reportedly their second option. 657 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: I think Marshawn had that as well, So maybe we'll 658 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: see him. And I've said this before, but I've I've 659 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: liked when he's done a playoff game here and there, 660 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: the Saturday night games with Rich Eyesen and and um, 661 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: he's I think Kurt Warner has done a really good job. 662 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: He does great work on Radio two. And I think 663 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: the difference between Kurt Warner and Peyton Manning is that 664 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner has discovered that he enjoys broadcasting football. I 665 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: I get that Peyton Manning keeps getting matched with these 666 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: dream roles, you know, years on end, But I don't 667 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: get any sense that Peyton Manning has any real innate 668 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: desire to be a color analyst for the NFL. I mean, 669 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: is does it is there any hint that that's the case. No, 670 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: not so far. Not so far. Maybe in time, but 671 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: at this point no, and ESPN is probably pretty bummed 672 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: about it. West, did you say Andrew marsiand are you 673 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: have that on authority? Are you just going with a 674 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: alternate reading of his name. I'm just going by how 675 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: my history have seen that name pronounced Marando. I mean 676 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 1: that's where, that's the route, um, where it came from 677 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: from the old country. Can be dead wrong. Can you 678 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: get on this, Ricky. I think it's Andrew marchand West 679 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: says it is Andrew Martian. Yeah. I think you're both right. No, 680 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: I need you to do research on this. Reach out 681 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: to the New York Post please, Okay, Yeah, I'm on it. Okay, great. 682 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: Uh And that's what's happening in the news. All right, Mark, 683 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to touch base with you on something because 684 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: I know there's been a lot of questions about you 685 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: and your airbnb set up. Well. Now we have an 686 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: update on the city situation from Simone Sessler on Twitter. 687 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: A big thank you to Mark Sessler for figuring out 688 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: how we can both work and homeschool our boys. I 689 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 1: took over his home office and we got a cheap 690 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: airbnb studio around the corner as a quiet office space 691 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: to podcast and take turns getting breaks. We both homeschool 692 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: the boys. My hero Wow, she wrote my hero or 693 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: did she wrote it? She need to add to that. Now. 694 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: The initial thought, and this is fairer unfair, is that 695 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: you had something to do with this tweet yesterday. That 696 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: was your initial thought. And I said fairer or weight 697 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: into that degree. I think it's unfair because you know, 698 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: I did reply. I did reply to Simone. Okay, Mark, yeah, 699 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: I saw that, and I'm you know, I fired back 700 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: at you if if the if the were kernels of 701 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: that that were true. But here's the thing. The plan 702 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: played out, um in a in a perfect way because 703 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: I needed it, you know, almost entirely when free Agency 704 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 1: was in its frenzy period, and you know, and we 705 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 1: have tried to figure out how to keep this house. 706 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: Come currently, I'm in a what used to be a bedroom. 707 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: It now just looks like a ramshackle um Northern Quadrant 708 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: of Iran. But I have the door locked. I mean, 709 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: you got setup that in the week and a half 710 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: and you've got yours looking beautiful and well again it's 711 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: like it's it tracks back to being um, you know, 712 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: caring about the show and being a professional. But the 713 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: Airbnb thing, for simone side of it. UM paid incredible 714 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: dividends from the Friday through Sunday period where I, you know, 715 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: as any good husband would try to do, get out 716 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: of here. You've been dealing with these kids for you know, 717 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: four or five days, and we're we're I think, like 718 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: with a lot of people, I I'm with Greg. I'm 719 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: not trying to complain about anything. I've kind of enjoyed 720 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 1: UM homeschooling them a little bit and now then it 721 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: gets to be a little bit too much. But they 722 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: are here twenty four Evan. They're not allowed to wander 723 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 1: the streets obviously, so you're we're just trying to figure 724 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: it out. And that was an incredible UM investment for 725 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: the one and a half week period. It just it worked, 726 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: and I would suggest it, well, it's so it's we 727 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,439 Speaker 1: had it. We have it for a couple more days, 728 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 1: but it's lost. It's based function other than I'm gonna 729 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: give her another night off because it's just you know, 730 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: these you have these little kids, they wake up at 731 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: like six o'clock in the morning. Needs that when how 732 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: far away is it? I could walk there in five minutes. 733 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: It is literally I could also see NFL network out 734 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: the window of it, and I initially thought we were 735 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to go into this nob We're gonna go 736 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: into the studio and all this stuff. And then society 737 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 1: just said everything is over, and so the proximity mattered 738 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: less because because you know, one of them things people 739 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: are stressing here during all this social distancing is you've 740 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: got to keep that connection going. And that's not just 741 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: with people that you you know over the phone or 742 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: anything that that's with your wife. And I'm thinking, these 743 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: kids follow us leap, it's only five minutes away. You 744 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: never know, you never know. I I'm just saying, but 745 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: once they're asleep, you know, it's a it's a crafty plan, Greg. 746 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: In our practice, we don't typically leave the nine and 747 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: seven years in the house. An I legal plan, I 748 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: would say, in terms of how the lawses child rearing, 749 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: as Gregg pointed out the last show that the l 750 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 1: A Police seem to have vanished entirely, So I think 751 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: you could probably get away. I've not seen a policeman anywhere. 752 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: Not Every romantic rendezvous was above board as far as 753 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: the law is concerned. Sometimes dangerously. Yeah, thank you, that's true. 754 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: That's true. There would be guilt though if you did 755 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: do that and you return and your youngest, say, has 756 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: a horrific nightmare and he's stumbling around the house looking 757 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: for a parent to hold, Yeah, I feel tad guilty. 758 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if that that question. It's calmed down 759 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: about the idea of you know, sometimes love and passion 760 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: can't be held by laws. I mean the need you. 761 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: I don't think the coronavirus and what's happening to our 762 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: country has done an incredible amount for people's um marriage 763 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: libido scenarios in general. I mean that's I'm just gonna 764 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,319 Speaker 1: suggest it's not a high point in the you've got 765 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: that backhouse though, I forgot about that. The shack, well, 766 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: you can go to the shack and get away with 767 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 1: it is because you're still on the property and you 768 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: know anyway, these are all these are all possibilities for you, buddy. Um, 769 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: let's get into it. Greg Road a sub banger by 770 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: his own estimation. Here's the headline, NFL Free Agency's best 771 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: Contracts colon Cousins Extension smart I mean headline. Those headline, 772 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: guys have not the headlines are always revealed to me 773 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 1: by you, Dan, But yeah, wait, this is one of 774 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: the I'm reading this now and I don't know how 775 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: they came up with this, but I they're a wonderful 776 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 1: editing team. Love them like whatever can get the most controversy, 777 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,760 Speaker 1: that's got to be the headline. Let's get into it, Greg, 778 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,439 Speaker 1: you mentioned Kirk Cousins, you know, so you could look 779 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: at it two ways. Greg. With Cousins, it's a nice deal. Um, 780 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: it keeps stability at the position. There might be other people, 781 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: In fact, there are that's say that this guy is, 782 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: you know, fairly pedestrian and he hasn't been able to 783 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: get him over the hub in the first two years, 784 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 1: and now you're essentially tying yourself to him for half 785 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: a decade. Speak to that. I liked it just from 786 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: a financial point of view because it only added one 787 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: year of guaranteed money. It's two years, sixty six million, 788 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: but it only if they wanted to they could get 789 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: out of it out of two years, so it's not 790 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: half a decade. It's basically just tacking one extra year on. 791 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 1: But then you don't have to go into the season 792 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: with all the questions of is he a franchise quarterback 793 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,280 Speaker 1: or not. It's like they've made a decision. They saved 794 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: ten million dollars in cap space by doing the move. 795 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: They were decisive about it, and uh, when the contract 796 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: ends and he might not get another one from Minnesota, Like, 797 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,959 Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if he's not in the top 798 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: ten highest paid order backs in the league. So it's 799 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: really not like a crazy amount of money an ease. Anyways, 800 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,320 Speaker 1: I stand into all of your ability to uh generate 801 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: strong feelings one way or another on that contract. M 802 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,240 Speaker 1: I just like the move. Here's the here's the reason 803 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: why he's not on board with this segment because I'm 804 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: getting that Cousin got another thirty million. I mean because 805 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: I'm I've killed and I hate what the Cowboys have 806 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 1: done and I hate what the Redskins did with Cousins 807 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: last time. And this is the opposite of that. When 808 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: they would have had every reason to do that that 809 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: it would have cost them more money in the long run, 810 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 1: Uh to wait around and and been a little bit 811 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: of a problem. Instead, you open up cap space. Now, 812 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are gonna pay for it. Another 813 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: move you like Greg Jason Hargrave formerly of the Steelers, 814 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: joins uh An Eagles defense that was not lacking guys 815 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: that can get it done on the defensive line, but 816 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:55,399 Speaker 1: now they are, you know, downright scary with Hardgrave involved. Yeah. 817 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: West West talked up the Eagles moves the other day, 818 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,760 Speaker 1: and I totally agreed. It's about getting like in act players, 819 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: and I like teams that have an identity and they 820 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,800 Speaker 1: build strength on strength, and that defensive line is their strength. 821 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: Malik Jackson's gonna be healthy again next year. So you 822 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:16,720 Speaker 1: have Jackson, Hargrave, Fletcher Cox, Derek Barnett. That's a good 823 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: it's a good brand. And I don't think it was 824 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: too expensive to get him either, at least compared to 825 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 1: other defensive lineman free agency. What move? What's the move 826 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: you hated? Do I want to hear West? What did 827 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: you not like about it? Let's hear that. I mean, 828 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: it was just like, of course, Greg's gonna say he 829 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: hated Todd Gurley. You've always hated him, never credited him 830 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,720 Speaker 1: as a good running back. You've never liked Robert Squinn, 831 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: like all these guys. See, I wouldn't expect anyone you, 832 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: I mean, to remember who I like or don't like, 833 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 1: but Quinn has been one of my favorite players, I 834 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: would say over the last time every year for the 835 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: last three or four years. And then when he played 836 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: light out, absolutely lights out with the Cowboys last year, 837 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: like that didn't seem to factor into your analysis. It did. 838 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: But there's a reason why he cost five million dollars 839 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: on a one year contract the year before, and why 840 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 1: why he's been on so many different teams five straight years. 841 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: He's had an injury problem until last year. So are 842 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,320 Speaker 1: you going to trust the four years before that or 843 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna trust just last year? Trust the last time 844 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: I saw him, which was unblockable. Well, the Bears agree 845 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 1: with you, and they must have felt the same about 846 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. You know, the last time they saw him, 847 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 1: he had like a thirty yard catch and you'll see 848 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: that again, Like what you were looking at Jimmy the 849 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 1: playoff game, he had a thirty yard catch. I think 850 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 1: it was the only one all year, and they were like, Wow, 851 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 1: that guy must be great. How long did it take 852 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: him to cover those thirty yards? And minutes? All right? West? 853 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,439 Speaker 1: What else did you hate about what Greg wrote? That's 854 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 1: it just just the part where I knew he would 855 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 1: bashtak Girl and Robert Quinn. Well, what's what is the instinct? Okay, 856 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,439 Speaker 1: the Falcons have like no caps ace relatively, and that's 857 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 1: what they're saving it for. Like, why why do you 858 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: have to pay Todd Gurley six million dollars? I don't 859 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 1: because I don't have to, But but I understand the 860 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 1: low risk of that, Like one year six million dollars 861 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 1: for a guy who another year removed and it's not 862 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: like he even had surgery. What if he just flashes 863 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: that form again? What if he gets to be like 864 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 1: eight pent of what he was when he was Offensive 865 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,720 Speaker 1: Player of the Year. Now you've got a great offense 866 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: in Atlanta. I will give this to Greg. If someone 867 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: assigned me the shore of coming up financially with the 868 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 1: best and worst contracts, I'd be a child blindfolded in 869 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 1: the woods in the middle of the night. I have 870 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 1: no idea how to write that, So I think Greg 871 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 1: was the right person to author this. Be like your 872 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:50,359 Speaker 1: children searching the Los Angeles streets looking for their parents. Yeah, 873 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: you're out at the hotel. It's also like, yeah, go ahead, West. 874 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: I would say it's well reasoned and well written. I 875 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: just you know, I gotta have something for the show 876 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 1: where I rip on Greg's you know, the same guys 877 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: he always hates are on here again and also down 878 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: Down and West has a loaded gun in his right hand. 879 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 1: So get out of this as quick as possible. Our 880 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 1: editor Phil Specter, you know, he has me working on 881 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: power rankings for tomorrow. It's a kind of similar, Greg, 882 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: though also in a good way. That is, you can't 883 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: be right or wrong with this. Well, I looked at 884 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 1: last year this that I made, and tell believe me, 885 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: you can be wrong. There are some Kenneth was on 886 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: the Worst Contracts list that might have been the best 887 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 1: for you. But you can study of all time. You 888 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 1: can't be right or wrong on the day you publish it. 889 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: That's fair. Randall Cobb, come at me. That's what I 890 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 1: feel pretty strong about. By the way, that's a terrible contract. 891 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 1: That was like we didn't get we just traded DeAndre 892 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 1: Hopkins and he was our plan and we're just gonna 893 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 1: pay him whatever he wants. Does it hurt you a 894 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 1: little bit now NFL network shut down. This would have 895 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 1: been a great little seg for you to have your 896 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 1: tie on and the the pocket square and you'd be 897 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 1: going through all these with Siciliana or money, and it'd 898 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 1: be a real moment for you and it kind of 899 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: it's out the door. Well, how how have those moments 900 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: really made an impact in the world at large previously? 901 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if it would have been 902 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 1: a moment as you described, more personal moment. Because by 903 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,799 Speaker 1: the way, for programming, I can think of an hour 904 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,959 Speaker 1: long show that we could offer daily, five days a week. 905 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: Where's the why are they? Why are we failing to 906 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 1: drum up interest? With these people walking around the third floor? 907 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 1: We have no idea. Where do we get contact? Let's 908 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 1: replay Tom Brady's two thousand and eight Week eight victory 909 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 1: four times in a row. I don't know. You could 910 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 1: have picked any any year, um, except two thousand and eight. 911 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: That would be something I don't know because it's I 912 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,839 Speaker 1: probably just argued against my own point right there. Nothing ever, 913 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 1: nothing for me, will ever beat what they had in 914 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:57,799 Speaker 1: the air Friday. It was called the Jamis Winston Showcase. Well, 915 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:02,240 Speaker 1: I just love that created Well that was a tough spot. 916 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 1: That was the night before because I was supposed to 917 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,360 Speaker 1: be on now on Friday afternoon last Friday and watching 918 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: our Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that we're now in in 919 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,800 Speaker 1: our shutdown. That's like the only time the mayor is 920 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 1: ever going to tell me that my had has been canceled. 921 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,280 Speaker 1: Don't need to wait for the internal email on that one. UM. 922 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,840 Speaker 1: Finally before we go today, so check it out NFL 923 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,359 Speaker 1: dot com slash Rosenthal.

But his 947 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: message is very nice. But I find his appearance to 948 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 1: be um from ten years from now.

And then uh, he's cutting his own hair. 958 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 1: That much is clear if you look at the top, 959 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,720 Speaker 1: he is cutting his own hair. Was that a figure 960 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 1: of speech? Are you actually calling big Ben an elephant 961 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,879 Speaker 1: in the room. Well, why do you think he's got 962 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,280 Speaker 1: the beard? He was the only quarterback with multiple chins, 963 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,840 Speaker 1: so he had to cover it up. He he is, 964 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: you know, and not trying to be mean, you know, 965 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a man of generous carriage myself.

I didn't 968 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 1: see the rest of the body. For me to make 969 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 1: that claim, I'd want him to um reveal the rest 970 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: of what's happening with the body. He could be, he 971 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 1: could be a guy. Maybe just he gains it in 972 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 1: the face. I mean, it's it's possible. But we don't 973 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:52,919 Speaker 1: have to worry about him blocking any of us because 974 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,800 Speaker 1: he's already blocked all of us and the rest that 975 00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 1: is true. I just I'm looking forward to well, I'm 976 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,400 Speaker 1: looking forward to the World Reserve returning to normal and 977 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,360 Speaker 1: there being a season.
