I wouldn't 49 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: say that they should do that. We put it. We've 50 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: all been writing all morning. I mean, people, if you're 51 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: gonna ingest schedule, release content should probably be I'm not 52 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: down with controlling people's media habits. Um. Speaking of NFL 53 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: media and what, we gotta get a lot to get to. 54 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: So we can't dilly dally today. But I just want 55 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: to say to West, I hold in my hand, and 56 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 1: Greg has one in front of him, So does West 57 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: you have in your hand? You know what? Sometimes you 58 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: you will gripe about your pay here at the company, 59 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: but then something happens, like what happened this morning at 60 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: our in our office, when a woman walked around all 61 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: the little it was actually it was a man. Yes, 62 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: once again the common man rankings a bald man a 63 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: bald man, uh, circled through the newsroom to all the 64 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: worker bees and dropped off a big pen. And if 65 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: you look very closely, there's an NFL Draft two two 66 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: thousand sixteen logo on that west You can't put a 67 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: price on that, well you could. It's about fifty nine cents. 68 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: I have a meeting with the bosses right after this podcast, 69 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: and I'm basically go in there and drop everything I've 70 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: ever wanted except a pay cut, because I have this 71 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: new fancy pen. It is a it's a pretty good pen. 72 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: It's actually not that it was great was the jet. 73 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: It was a gentleman. He was bald was actually looking 74 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: at the list and probably around forty people in the 75 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: room did not get a pen. It was only certain 76 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: employees that got a pen. Sos, maybe this is uh 77 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: remember remember it's a wonderful life. It's an olive pen. 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: That bald man was the ghost and it's a wonderful life, 79 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: showing you to appreciate what you have. This big pen. Yeah, 80 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: it's it's a wonderful implement. All right, let's get let's 81 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: get to it and we'll start, Uh, why not just 82 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: for fun, let's do some news irishman. What can I say, 83 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: another fascinating day in the n b A yesterday. By 84 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: the way, it was akin too washed up. Kobe Bryant 85 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: dropping sixty points on fifty shots in the last game 86 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: of his career was akin to Peyton Manning and Super 87 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty audible ing into a pass every play in 88 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: finishing forty four of eighty two for six touchdowns and 89 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: four interceptions that come back when over the Panthers. It 90 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: was that type of situation. Well, no, it would be 91 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: a week seventeen game that meant not thing when you 92 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: had when you were part of the biggest part of 93 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: the reason your team was the worst in the league 94 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: or the second worst. So I'd say that would put 95 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: him in the Super Bowl. Well, the analogy was how 96 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: he was washed a legend. I thought it was especially 97 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: fitting that he took fifty shots in his final game. Well, 98 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: there was some fans, some obviously intoxicated idiot, but seventeen 99 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: thousand dollars worth of Kobe Bryant snake skinned memorabilia, according 100 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: to Darren Ravel. So that's information. My Mike on this 101 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: headset slips till why are you following Darren? Well, he 102 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: annoys me and that in that news that he distributed. 103 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: It annoyed me and I tweeted about it last night. 104 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: I'm fine with Kobe being out of our lives. So 105 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: we took a lot of shots. But it was a 106 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch. But now we got to 107 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: talk about the NFL and the huge, huge trade that 108 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: went down. Uh, listen, are there the Tennessee Titans or 109 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titoons. It still remains to be seen. We'll 110 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: see how it all plays out, but there is a 111 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: huge story that came down early Thursday in the NFL 112 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: and it involves in the Los Angeles Rams. Yes, the 113 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: l A Rams, who had told us um that case 114 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: Keenum was their quarterback. Well, I don't think that's gonna 115 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: be the case. After the news that broke. They have 116 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: acquired the number one overall pick in the NFL draft 117 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: from the Tennessee Titans, and it cost a lot. Uh. 118 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: Tennessee gets the Rams first round pick in twenty sixteen, 119 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: which I believe is fift overall, two second round picks 120 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: in steen, a third round pick in twenty sixteen, a 121 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: first round pick in ten, and another third round pick 122 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and the Rams get yes, the first 123 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: overall pick, a fourth round pick this year, and a 124 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: sixth round pick this year. This is a bombshell, one 125 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: of the biggest trades in recent NFL history, certainly the 126 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: biggest one since the last time the Rams were involved 127 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: in a blockbuster that ended with the Redskins drafting RG 128 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: three UH number two overall UH in the two thousand 129 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: twelve draft. Greg, your first thought when you heard about 130 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: this deal. My thought was hooray for the Rams, poray 131 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: for the Titans too, that it can be a win 132 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: win that that I talked about it on the last show, 133 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: that they they seem like a likely team to move 134 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: up because they had to do it. They were just 135 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: at this point in time where they absolutely need a quarterback, 136 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: and you there's no way to know if they're gonna 137 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: be a great quarterback. But if at any point Carson 138 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 1: Wentz or Jared Goff, whoever they take, is a top 139 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen quarterback in the league, they make one 140 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, whatever it is, it was worth it. You 141 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: just there's nothing, there's no too much that you can 142 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: give up for a quarterback. I think that's what you tweeted, 143 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: right right. Chris and I totally agree with there's no 144 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: such thing as overpaying to get a franchise quarterback when 145 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: you don't already have a franchise quarterback well, and I 146 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: think the Titans are actually a good example of that 147 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: because they feel obviously very confident that Marcus Mariota will 148 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: be that guy for a long time, and they have 149 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: the number one pick, and you're at that point just 150 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: building around the most important position, and the trade. The 151 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: Rams win for that act reasons that you mentioned, but 152 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: so do the Titans. They got a bundle in this, 153 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: and they have a talented general manager in my opinion, 154 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: who looks like he's now has the picks to really 155 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: build a decent team. They're not the Titoons, right, and 156 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: they get a cup, they get the first and the 157 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: third next year. So it's always nice when these kind 158 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: of trades stretch out over years and you can just 159 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: look forward to it and you get extra picks you 160 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: can use in different ways. The Rams only were able 161 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: to make this pick. Jeff Fisher made this point, and 162 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: he's absolutely right. They are only able to make this 163 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: trade really because of the extra second round pick that 164 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: they had picked up previously. So these sort of trades 165 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: give you flexibility and ammo to do whatever you want. Well, 166 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: he and sneed also, you know, we're giving each other 167 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: slaps on the back about the fact that, hey, it's 168 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: a good thing we had that field goal block guys 169 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: Gas last year. I mean, they couldn't have framed a 170 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: loss in more of a victorious way. The right lost 171 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: the gym time, Sula, you'd be feeling pretty good too 172 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: if you didn't have to go into your next season 173 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: with Case Keen as your quarterback. By the way, the 174 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: worst smoke screen in recent memory, I think maybe before 175 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: r G three's draft was there a John Beck's smoke 176 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: screen out in Landover. I can't recall. But now they 177 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: really wait, they felt they followed through. But I will 178 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: say this, I still they will for me. They're they're 179 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: gonna remain the Titoons until they actually start mattering in 180 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: wins and losses, because we we said the same thing 181 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: after Marcus Mariotta was drafted and and he started so well, 182 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: and then they ended up being a joke and they 183 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: ended up and this that doesn't always sit with me 184 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: well as a football fan, that a team can be 185 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: so sucky that they get to leverage that like, they 186 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: got Mariota last year the number two overall pick, and 187 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: then they got the number one pick again this year, 188 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: and then they they leverage it against a team that 189 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: was desperate. So now they get all these other picks, 190 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: do something about it, start getting better. I do not 191 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: want to see you in the top five again next year. 192 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: That's so I said, bring about a lottery. Remember my 193 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: draft rules I'd like to change. Get the lottery, you 194 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: get the Titans out of there. And this is a 195 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: much safer trade for the Titans. I mean, sure they 196 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: could blow all these picks, but to me, it's it's 197 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: almost a no lose trade at all for the Titans. 198 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: It's almost they don't even have to think twice. Of course, 199 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: we could look back in four years and say this 200 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: didn't work out for the Rams. That's not the point. 201 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: That's not saying they're not a winner today. Because there 202 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: are chances in your football life, especially if you're Jeff 203 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: Fisher and less Sneed who are kind of on on 204 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: the edge here of keeping their jobs, that are worth taking. 205 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: And this is just one of those chances. These two guys, 206 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: not only we've been talking for years that these guys 207 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: are Teflon and now they wisely trade up and get 208 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: a quarterback and as long as he shows anything, whoever 209 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: they end up taking, uh, they will probably buy the 210 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: more job security even if they go seven and nine 211 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: A guess. Uh, these guys could be around for another 212 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: two or three years, even without doing anything well. And 213 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: I think whenever you find the quarterback, and it's a 214 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: lesson to teams that want to get too smart and 215 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: not pick a quarterback when you need one up top 216 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, Yes, the Titans are not a good team, 217 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: but it was a perception changing draft pick because we 218 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: think differently about the Titans primarily because of one player 219 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: right now, and they're able to think different They're able 220 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: to think differently. The Rams are the same way. I 221 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: mean the Rams. We made fun of the Hims for 222 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: their seven and nine endless eternal streak, and the fact 223 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: of this case keenom thing one season after they basically 224 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: lied to us about Sam Bradford. So now we don't 225 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: have to hear any more fibbing and nonsense about the 226 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: quarterback position. You get him, you sit on him for 227 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: the next decade. We get it for a couple of 228 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: weeks because they're saying that they have not decided who 229 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: the number one pick. Oh no, but they have plenty 230 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: of hay in the bar. Are you buying a word 231 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 1: of il shucks? Charm of less need, whose hair and 232 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: the press are better than ever? By the way, but 233 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: I think I'm now, I'm starting to think he's turning 234 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: it on that a Southern accent a little heavier to 235 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: make him more endearing in what's going to be a major, 236 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: uh stressful period in his tenure. Was a conversation in 237 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: the news room among some of the ladies that I 238 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: sit here in the in the middle of the news 239 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: desks about that about his good looks, that he was 240 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: an eight, that even even some that wasn't wasn't less 241 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: his type. It wasn't he They weren't his type. You 242 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: know they're type, but they well they're not breaking news. 243 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been in our top hottest executive rankings 244 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: for a long time, so he's been, yeah, at the 245 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: top of that list. Was I thought, this is a 246 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: rare trade where it would have been riskier for both 247 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: teams to stand pat. The Titans could have drafted a 248 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl left tackle and had seven or eight open 249 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: spots in their starting lineup on if you combine both 250 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: sides of the ball, now they have a chance and 251 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: a draft where people say the meat of the draft 252 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: is from the teams to seventy six picks. In the 253 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: top seventy six picks, you can address many different positions. 254 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: The Rams, I think it's far riskier to stay seven 255 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: and nine and don't compete with case Keenum. So what 256 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: are you really giving up? You give up a chance 257 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: to go five hundred every year, and I think they 258 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: showed how it works the other way. People have argued 259 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: that the Rams didn't do well with the r G 260 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: three trade. They did well with that trade. They got Rockers, 261 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: they got um who else and I forget Aaron Donald 262 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: in the trade was one of those picks. Whatever it was, 263 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: it was a solid group of players. And ifs just 264 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: if the Titans just get three or four starters, it's 265 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: a good trade for them. That the best you can 266 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: hope for. And the way the draft, well, you hope 267 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: to get a star out of the You hope to 268 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: be the Dallas Cowboys Herscheler type thing where you really 269 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: hit on a few guys and build a championship, which 270 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: they hardly they have not built anything beyond a five outfit. 271 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: Maybe this is the one, the move that finally pulls 272 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 1: it all together. By the way, Greg, you wrote a 273 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: winner and loot, winners and losers piece of the trade. 274 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: But everyone can see at NFL dot com slashal who's 275 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: the biggest Who are the biggest losers in this deal? Well, 276 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: I don't think the Browns can like that that a 277 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: team just traded up ahead of them to take a quarterback. 278 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: We don't know if the Browns are going to take 279 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: a quarterback, will never know if they wanted the quarterback 280 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: that the Rams take, Assuming they don't trade, they're already 281 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: putting it out there that well, maybe the Titans, I mean, 282 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: maybe the Rams and the Browns will trade. They both 283 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: like Jared Goff, Who really knows. But the Browns might 284 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: have a guy that they really wanted at quarterback and 285 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: now their option could be limited. It's just not a 286 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: good thing that that a team with the same needs 287 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: passes in front of them. Totally agreed. I do think 288 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: that they probably were prepared for someone to do this. 289 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: I mean it sounded even yesterday before the trade. I 290 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: talked someone in the office who said, basically that teams 291 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: around the league aren't wondering if the Titans, if the 292 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: Titans will treat to pick just went into who it was, 293 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: it was almost presumed to be done well, and other 294 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: teams were in the mix according to the Titans. So 295 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: I think those other teams you gotta think of them 296 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: as potential losers. I would put the forty Niners at 297 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: the top of that list, picking number seven. I thought 298 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: either they could take a quarterback there, or maybe they 299 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: were going to trade up the Cowboys at four. Maybe 300 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna take a quarterback or or be able to 301 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: trade that pick. So those those teams seem to like 302 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:36,479 Speaker 1: losers to me too. It's gonna be tougher for them. 303 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: Big winner. By the way, Oh yeah, are Knox fans 304 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: this could This is shaping up as potentially the best 305 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: season ever. It's got all the ingredients. You got all 306 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: you got, all the ingredients, you got sneed and fish bomb, 307 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: and you got the l A move and all the 308 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: drama there and Todd Gurley and now you import all 309 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: this drama with the number one overall pick some hot 310 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: shot quarterback. Maybe we'll see him hitting the dating seed 311 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: in Hollywood. Well, let me ask you because you cover 312 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: hard knocks primarily for the site. Actually it's it's essentially 313 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: your own round and around is big. That too comes 314 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: around one. Which rookie quarterback would you rather see? I 315 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: know that we don't spend a lot of time with 316 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: these guys, but whence they're gone set failure, Well just 317 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: go babe, just go off their looks. If you don't 318 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: anything about them, just don't. Uh they're both whites, um 319 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: once from North Dakota State. I feel like maybe a 320 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: little culture shock. I like that. I think how much better? Uh? Well, 321 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: what do you what do you think? It's like he 322 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: has a little bit more personality. I don't think either 323 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: one of them, you know, their quarterbacks for the most part, 324 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: quarterbacks aren't you know, gonna blow you away with wild personality. 325 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: I think when it's just considered the more like a 326 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: personality type, he he seems more interesting. Think about the 327 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: quarterback battle now that you'll have instead of Keenum versus 328 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: Mannion or Keenum versus Falls, Nick Foles will not be 329 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: on the roster will in the quarterbacks. He'll be on 330 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: another team. It will work out well for him because 331 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: he has guaranteed money from the Rams Anyways, uh now 332 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: it's Keenham versus the North Dakota stay guy. Because you 333 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: know Keenham is sitting there. He's a loser in this trade. 334 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: He's competitive enough, I'm sure, as any professional would be, 335 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: that this annoys him, and he's gonna even though it's 336 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: an uphill battle, he's gonna be battling as hard as 337 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: he can to keep that job. Make one more point 338 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: about this trade, yes, sir, nor Moving on, I did 339 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: some research. Since two thousand and eight, when Joe Flacco 340 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: was drafted at number eighteen, twenty quarterbacks have been drafted 341 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: in the first round. Tim Tebow is the only one 342 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: outside of the top five picks who's won a playoff game. 343 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: And if you look at the franchise quarterbacks from those 344 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: out of those twenty guys, only six I would classify 345 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: as franchise quarterbacks. If you include um, Winston, Mariota, and Bortles, 346 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: all drafted in the top five picks. It's a different 347 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: game than it was in two thousand when guys like 348 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner and Jeff Garcia and rich Gannon. We're coming 349 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: out of nowhere to be great quarterback. Right, you can 350 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: hit on a second round pick. I mean, it happens 351 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, Derek Carr. But I think what you're saying 352 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: is is these guys that that teams kind of agreed 353 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: they're worth taking as a as a franchise type. You 354 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: gotta take them high. They're just gonna go high, and 355 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna get your Jake Lockers of the world every 356 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: now and then too. Alright, that's what's happening in the news. 357 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: And now West who again because he grips that pen 358 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: in the same way he feels Wow, wait a second, 359 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: it's all coming into focus. Hashtag blessed to be here 360 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: yesterday on schedule released day. Yes, what you don't like 361 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: schedule leasing? Well, you know this is a nod to 362 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: Gregg's actual excellent readership leadership. He kept me out of 363 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: the schedule analysis online. Well, I mean it was it 364 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: was good because you know, but well you know, I 365 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: love what was. West dictates the terms of his writing 366 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: around here. He didn't say he got out of this 367 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: entire earlier. He didn't say anything. See, you're just blue 368 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: blew the cover. I sometimes I just do things quietly. 369 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: West went on a schedule released rant and uh, Dan, 370 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: how about you start doing a lot of this, uh film, 371 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: I didn't ask out of that. He didn't that he 372 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: didn't he did not ask. I just made a decision. 373 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: You know, why why force someone that is clearly antagonistic 374 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: to the beautiful enterprise when there's not that much. We 375 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: used to have so much to do for schedules. Now 376 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: it's like we each one one media. I get where 377 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: West comes from this. Yeah, I do more than my 378 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: fair share on a lot of the analysis stuff. I 379 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: get it. West, Listen, this is analysis to I know, 380 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: you don't believe it's it's like, yeah, I find it 381 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: very hard to analyze the schedule four months or five 382 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: months before the season, so it's hard for me to 383 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: come up with it. It's West is just less talented 384 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: than the rest of us at our at schedule ANNALYNCEI, 385 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: we're great at schedule. That's absolutely true. Here's the here's 386 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: the truth about it is it is a little fluffy. 387 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: But I will say this, and there's a lot of 388 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: like the NFL's catching a ton of heat yesterday on 389 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: social media because there was an announcement about the announcement 390 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: and yes, it's all a little bit ridiculous. Your old 391 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: friends of p FT we're cute as usual, Uh, taking 392 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: shots at the league, and it's like, but then p 393 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: f T will have seventeen stories up about the schedule 394 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: and as soon as it lands and or leaks, So 395 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: everybody that is complaining about the schedule, not us, Uh, 396 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: calm down. Well, then don't read about it, don't don't 397 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: get all involved with it, just stay away until September. 398 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: If I'm the person, I guess there would be. Eric 399 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: Weinberger is one of them that the people that really 400 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: helps start NFL Network. The number one successes that they've 401 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: had for the league as a whole are the scouting 402 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: combine in this schedule release thing, which I also agree 403 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: with with West, especially back in the day. I used 404 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: to think was just nonsense. But once our network started 405 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: doing it for two hours and making it some event, 406 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: then ESPN copied it, and and then everyone's doing all this stuff. 407 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: And hey, it's paying the bills. It's paying the bills, 408 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 1: is right, So let's let's break this scheduled down all 409 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: thirty two teams. Now we were they all knew the 410 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: teams who were they were playing, but now they know 411 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: when they're playing, where they're playing, uh, what time, and 412 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: they're playing. Yeah, uh so that's good. You always need 413 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: to know what time. Just like West, you and I 414 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: have our first softball game at seven thirty tonight. I 415 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,239 Speaker 1: thought it wasn't happening. Well, we might. We might be 416 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: scrimmaging because the other team is going to forfeit. From 417 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: what we're hearing, we don't know. Also on the team 418 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: is the Irish. Okay, I just wanted to make sure 419 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: I thought that breaking news there. Maybe West got out 420 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: of the schedule thing because you know, just sitting near 421 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: you guys this week there's been roughly what twenty hours 422 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: of discussion and pin about a you know, the NFL boy. 423 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: I wish you guys the best of luck. It's been 424 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: a heavy operation. Mark and I also, you know, in 425 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: the middle, like when our contract negotiations has come up, 426 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: we'll bring up the fact think of all the extra 427 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: productivity you got out of us but not involved with 428 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: this software that's gonna go in that half their time. 429 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: Any executive above us will see that clear as day 430 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: if they know what they're doing. By the way, the 431 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: more the morale, the the teamwork, the character building of 432 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: playing with your colleagues, that is work in its own 433 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: right and for West and I on the Joe Tory 434 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: West is my first lieutenant, Don Zimmer. We are putting 435 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: together a champion, uh and we will keep people informed 436 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: on the season. Brandon is a young prospect. He has 437 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: the first baseman's mit. Will he be able to play 438 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: first space. We don't know West because it's a co 439 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: ed team and you just don't know how the strategy 440 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: breaks who by all accounts as a star on this team. 441 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: I'd be a little insulted that he's called Don Zimmer. Yeah, 442 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: you don't know, you don't know. And just so it 443 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: doesn't get in this room, so it doesn't get ugly 444 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: in here. Greg and I did your team a tremendous 445 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: favor by not joining. All right, that we we've we've 446 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: helped you a lot. And Dan, I want the record 447 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: to show I dove on the first practiced one only 448 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: one guy was bleeding Dove. We basically had a catch 449 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: on Tuesday and Brandon got dirty on one play and 450 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: had skinned his knee. So that I go all out, 451 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: just like I go out for this podcast. All right, 452 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: pick up the chisels. Big day for Brandon. So far 453 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: You're doing great, buddy, all right, so let's get into 454 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: the schedule a little bit. Uh, we'll start with Greg. 455 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: You wrote a piece up on the site right now. UH. 456 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: First we'll get into the opener. The first game that 457 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: we're all gonna watch, will be all excited. Thursday night 458 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: of Week one has now become customary that the defending 459 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion UH plays at home. Unless the owner 460 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: of the Orioles bangs you in a big spot, UH, 461 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: you will play at home. So in this case, the 462 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos will open the season against who, Greg the 463 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: Carolina panting I'm a rematch? First ever Super Bowl rematch 464 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: to kick off a season, which probably shouldn't be that surprising. 465 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: It's only, somehow the seventh Super Bowl rematch in a 466 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: regular season in NFL history, which seems like a low number. 467 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: All it does except the look at the way. I guess, 468 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: if you think about it, if the league used to 469 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: be smaller. Either way, if if you looked at the schedule, 470 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: the Texans as a potential Week one kickoff really annoyed me. 471 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 1: I was not excited about that. I thought Patriots would 472 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 1: be fine kicking off again the season. But I like 473 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: this one. The Cam Newton against that Denver defense trying 474 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: to make amends. You're not gonna get revenge for the 475 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: super Bowl, but at least you can give your next 476 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: season a nice little feel. Or if the Panthers are 477 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: oh and one after this game, it's just such a 478 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: dragg How are you gonna feel if it's Mark Sanchez, Well, 479 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: it's either gonna rule. Well, I needed I needed to 480 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: provide news. I needed to provide news and analysis, so 481 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: I put myself Suckla Mark declare to Mark Sanchez moratorium 482 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: on the pod. Well, it's more important that I will 483 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: not write about him on any level ever. Um, by 484 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: the way, this and I would, I would guess Kaepernick 485 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: though if I had to, if I had to guess 486 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: a week one talk about that, I'm just saying, but 487 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: you're right, You're probably right there is you know. I 488 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: think that, um, this will be a strange situation because 489 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: the Panthers were so badly outplayed a couple of months ago. 490 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: Now you would think there'll be they'll be a favorite 491 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: in this game. Right, were they that badly outplayed? Maybe 492 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: I guess maybe not committed a lot of their own 493 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: mistakes on the field. It I think I did go 494 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: back and rewatch it eventually, and it reminded me a 495 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: lot of the Giants Patriots Super Bowl, where I thought 496 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: that the Giants were so much tougher than the Patriots 497 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: throughout the game. So yeah, maybe they weren't. It wasn't 498 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: that mismanaged, but the Boncas were the tougher team on 499 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: to the ball, no doubt. Um, okay, what about some 500 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: other Greg primetime games that really jumped out to when 501 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: you thumbed your way through the schedule. By the way, 502 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: the notorious d P. Hank Hotson, known in some circles 503 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: is Handsome Hank on the Dave Damascheck Football program. It 504 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: is cloak and dagger stuff. When the schedule gets handed 505 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: out to only essential personnel in the newsroom. Uh hashtag blessed. 506 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: We all got a copy of the schedule yesterday. I 507 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: didn't give West one didn't he wasn't right and he 508 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: didn't get one. It was it was kept under lock 509 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: and key to the point where not having that, we 510 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: were warned to, you know, hide the schedule because if 511 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: it leaks on your watch a banged you can't get 512 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: the digital copy. And I just get the heart when 513 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: you post these articles, you know to pull to go 514 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: behind the curtain. You're only allowed to email it to 515 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: two or three very specific people. The last thing you 516 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: want to do is use the collective group email, which 517 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: would send it to our entire office. So it's a 518 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: good thing that none of us did that. Right. Then, 519 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: I happened to write a piece that we'll get into 520 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: a little bit, best Revenge Games on the scale, that 521 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 1: I sent to roughly uh five people in the company. Uh, 522 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: not all essential personnel, and you just hope there's no trade, 523 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: including seasonal employees who are home right now, you know, 524 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: probably out to lunch. And should I should share an 525 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: email that I got from a shadowy league figure, Uh, 526 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: one of the top lieutenants within our division who replied 527 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: to my email or my copy with the line probably 528 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that to DM writers probably, And then 529 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: I responded, because there's only one way to respond. Yes, 530 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: I am an idiot. Yeah, anyway, prime time games, Well, 531 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: I I focused on the week one prime time games, 532 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: which is really what I always look at first. That's 533 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: all I care about because I can't think too far ahead, 534 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: and I think the best game of the season for 535 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: me happens to be that first Sunday night game. I 536 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: wish they had saved it a little longer. But Cardinals 537 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: Patriots in Arizona as your Week one Sunday Night game. 538 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean that is those are two corkers off the bat. 539 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: You have the four teams that were the final four 540 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: in the NFL are the two first NBC games, and 541 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: you know, as talented as a team as you could 542 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: possibly want. In Arizona. Chandler Jones first game of the year. 543 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,239 Speaker 1: He's gonna be trying to make Bill Belichick pay for it. 544 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: You got your first Martellis Ben, Rob Gronkowski together sighting. 545 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: It's a cool game. I don't like it because we 546 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: tape a pod during it. We're gonna get our first 547 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: look at Carson Palmer's irreversible decline. I mean a lot 548 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: of stuff to look forward to. Yes, you can get 549 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: excited about this game. This was we were tasked with 550 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: an NFL now hit and this was gonna be my 551 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: choice for best game of the year. I didn't know 552 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: it was going to be the same. So for you 553 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: Week two, it's all downhill. It's just turn off your 554 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: Those are two fun ones to start, and then you 555 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: have the two Monday night games. Of course they do 556 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: the double header. Now that's traditional. I wish they would 557 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: just do that every Monday night. Why not, because it's 558 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: about you know, remember they had that middle of the 559 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: night Sunday night game that was that was too much? 560 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: That was that was Raiders. Also the London games at 561 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: five am. Let's I like that too. Let's come down 562 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: without a new window, alright, Gouse spread them all out. Well, 563 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: you remember my old theory. This was a couple of 564 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: years ago on the podcast. I broke it out just 565 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: two games a day for the entire I love that idea. 566 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: Those days off, like that they dealer's redskins, little random 567 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: but to playoff teams on that first Monday night game. 568 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I like it. I like that we're diffusing 569 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: the boring nature of the NFC East with the most 570 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: exciting offense just about to watch in league. And then 571 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: the Monday night finale, first Los Angeles Rams game in 572 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: San Francisco. And why in San Francisco that's mildly tedious? 573 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: Why because you want the it is a little weird. 574 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: Why not kick off the l A era in l 575 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: A That's a great that's a great point. The Colosseum 576 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: is in ruins right now, so they're just frantically trying. Well, 577 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: there are legitimate issues with the Colosseum in USC, as 578 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: you could imagine. And if you look at the Rams schedule, 579 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: they only have two games in the Colosseum before November six, 580 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: and that's largely because of USC playing on Saturdays and 581 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: different rules and things like that. They also have their 582 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: quote unquote home game in London during that time, so 583 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: that takes up some time. But who knows. We don't 584 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: know who the quarterback is going to be for either 585 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: these teams, but it's Chip Kelly two point. Oh, that's 586 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: not a bad one to end it. Let's uh, let's 587 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: talk about teams that at this point, Uh, it appears 588 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: that the scheduling gods are working in their favor. And Greg, 589 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: we actually did an NFL Now video hit earlier this 590 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: morning where you were talking about the Green Bay Packers. 591 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: Of all teams, of all the teams that need a break, 592 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: the Packers appear to have a nice clear path to 593 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: perhaps the NFC North title. Yeah. I like that the 594 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: if I like all the NFC North schedule because they 595 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: have the easiest out of division schedule. I think that 596 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: of any teams, I believe it's the a f C 597 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: South in the NFC East. So if you want to 598 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: load up some wins, I think the Vikings, Packers, Lions. 599 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: You know, they're all in good shape. The one thing 600 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: the Packers have going for him is they don't have 601 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: to play the Packers because that's a tough match. They 602 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: The one thing the Packers have going for him is 603 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: they don't really play any superpowers right there. The schedule 604 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: looks uh for green Bay, especially early in the season. 605 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: You're always looking at like if the team gonna get 606 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: off to a quick start. And I love the way 607 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: the Packers schedule. Yes, it starts with two road games Jaguars, Vikings, 608 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: but then you don't face another team that had a 609 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: winning record last year until what is it, Week eleven, 610 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: and that's the Redskin. So it's just a lot of 611 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: teams that were mediocre last year. And that's true of 612 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: a lot of these NFC North schedules. You know, Connor 613 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: Or wrote this again, we have a ton of schedule 614 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: release content at NFL dot com, almost too much. You 615 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: could you could argue that, uh not. And if you 616 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: can't get enough of this written content, three hours of 617 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: life coverage on the old Mothership Network. Yeah, if you're 618 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: listening to our podcast, Get the Whole Family Together three hours. 619 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: Connor Or has connor Or has offered up the Dallas 620 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys as a team with the easiest schedule. I'm not 621 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: sure if I agree, because I don't know if they're 622 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: a type of team that has any gimmes. But this 623 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: is what Connor had to say. Uh, they opened at home, 624 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: they got back to back. Uh well, they opened the 625 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: home against the Giants that travel to Washington. Then they 626 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: host the Bears at home before going up to San Francisco. 627 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: It's a good start. It's a it's a nice start. 628 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: And and I, um, you know, I talked about the 629 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: Ravens is another team that I thought had what looked 630 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: like an easier easier scared because they're playing the two 631 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: East divisions, which other than the red Skins, other than 632 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots, there's not a lot of powerhouses. But I 633 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: like to look I don't like to put too much 634 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: into the schedule, but I like to look at the 635 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: top of the schedule and see which teams can potentially 636 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: get off to that two and oh three and one 637 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: best case scenario four and O type start. I think 638 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens are a team like that. Connor believes the 639 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys are a team like that as well. Yeah, I 640 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: kind of disagree because the NFC East, while the in 641 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: division games are not difficult, they do have to play 642 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: the a f C North out of the division. They 643 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: do have to play the NFC West, I believe out 644 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: of the division. Am I wrong? I'm wrong the a 645 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: f C North, which is either way, it's not easy. 646 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: A f C North. This, you don't want to any 647 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: any any NFC East team is dealing with a tough 648 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: deal there ELT's move to West. Any thoughts on that, 649 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: No thoughts. You guys covered it well as you did. 650 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: This is just gonna sit out the whole podcast as 651 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: you did in the written form. Who is your easiest 652 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: schedule on on NFL? Now? I believe you thought the 653 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens well, I talked about that roughly. Yeah, that's right, 654 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: that's right. I was looking at Greg, we're all excited 655 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: about the schedule release. He took my hot take it 656 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: was gonna be the Packers. When I glanced at their schedule, 657 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: it seemed by far the easiest of anyone. Um, you know, 658 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: if there's teams that have a nice schedule. There's teams 659 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: they got banged, and I want to talk about one 660 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: of them. And you know it's not fair because a 661 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: certain team that plays in the meadow lands snopping back 662 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: to the big game since nineteen sixty nine, I think, 663 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, won ten games last year, didn't even get 664 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And how do my New York Jets 665 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: get rewarded for being a non playoff team with this 666 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: heavy heart and the pain of all the years of 667 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: frustration Number two on the Pain Rankings nfl dot com 668 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: slash Pain Rankings. The New York Jets start their season 669 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: with six games uh five games. Their first six games 670 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: are against five playoff teams Cincinnati Bengals at home, at 671 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: Buffalo at Kansas City home to Seattle at Pittsburgh, at 672 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: Arizona on a Monday night. The only team that didn't 673 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, of course, is the Bills, who swept 674 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: the Jets last year. And it's on a short week 675 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: on the road. It would be very It's very possible 676 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: that my beloved New York Jets, and you guys can 677 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: tell you guys are emotional and upset about it as well. 678 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: Uh could go two and four worst case scenario, go 679 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: one and five and their season's over. I'm very nervous 680 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: that this could be one of those seasons where the 681 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: Jets bomb out in the first two months. The side 682 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: would be that this is a perfect set the table 683 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: operation for Geno Smith's come back to him. This is 684 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: all right, you know, don't even play the game last 685 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: season for the Jets, Mo Welkerson gets traded on draft weekend, 686 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: Gino Smith takes over at quarterback and they have a 687 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: hard schedule. It's gonna be like, well, Gino Smith's gonna 688 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: take over after the two and fourth start when they've 689 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: been trying Fitzpatrick, and then he's gonna look great. It does, 690 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: It does ease up. And by the way, none of them, 691 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: any nothing anyone said just now is the unrealistic. It's 692 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: all this isn't play. I think the Jets are doomed. 693 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: After looking at the sketule. That is a you almost 694 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: wonder because they try so hard for parody and to 695 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: give a team like the Jets, who had a nice 696 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: season last year, you thought they'd want to bounce off that. 697 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: That is a rough Well, it's it's just today. It's 698 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: just the a f C. East, and yes, the Jets 699 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: schedule eases up a little bit in the second half 700 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: of though they do have their better They have their 701 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: two Patriots games in the last six weeks, so those 702 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: are obviously that's but the a f C East, they 703 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: all have tough schedules. He's a Jets fan, but if 704 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: the Jets had opened with the Dolphins schedule, we'd be 705 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: here and crying about that too. The Dolphins start with 706 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: the longest potential trip in the entire NFL if you're 707 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: staying domestic, and that is to Seattle. That's a loss. 708 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: The next week is in Foxboro. That is literally the 709 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: hardest one to punch any combination I believe that you 710 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: could come up with in the NFL. At New England, Yes, 711 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: you get the Browns in week three for your home opener, 712 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: so you know, Gloria Estefan is gonna enjoy that. You know, 713 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: she brings out what's her backup band? Und then the 714 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: sound machines playing halftime. You get a win. But then 715 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: you go to Cincinnati on a Thursday night on a 716 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 1: short week, another tough team, so that if you're if 717 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: you're better than one and three coming out of that, 718 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: they're doing pretty lucky. Yeah, but then they got they 719 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,919 Speaker 1: got the Titans, and maybe they'll be better this year. 720 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: But the Browns obviously, uh four and twelve teen, the 721 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: Titans two and fourteen, sandwiching the Bengals game. So we 722 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: don't know how these teams are gonna be. But basically, okay, 723 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: they could be two and three after five weeks, but 724 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: they basically have the same schedule as the Jets. And 725 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: of my point is the Bills have this schedule. The 726 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: Patriots have a tougher version of this schedule. They do 727 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,359 Speaker 1: do they play the Patriots twice? No, that they don't 728 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: have to Classic clas again again, how do you forget 729 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: that Greg New England opens in Arizona. By the way, 730 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: a brutal star. Uh the division has to play the 731 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: top two divisions of our division power ranking. So we're 732 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: the smartest uh NFL analysts in the country. We decided 733 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: that the a f C North and the NFC West 734 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,280 Speaker 1: are the two best divisions. Those are the two divisions 735 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: that the a f C East place. So you could 736 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: see a lot of these teams kind of slide back 737 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. It's gonna be tougher. I like that 738 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: the Browns and forty niners are listed here on the 739 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: hardest schedules, because when your roster is in such dire 740 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: straits as they are in San Francisco and Cleveland, every 741 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: game is a hard game on the schedule. I mean 742 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: Cleveland the problem. True, they do have a tough schedule. 743 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: That division is hard. It's always tough because you automatically 744 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,240 Speaker 1: get bangs six times with the other teams in that divisions. 745 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: But the other problems, they're just not good at football 746 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: right now. So it's like, honestly, because even some of 747 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: these bad teams, you could have what we would call 748 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: an easy schedule, you're still gonna win three games. Yeah, 749 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: but it's especially it especially seems cruel for the Browns. 750 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: In their first seven games, only two of them are 751 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,399 Speaker 1: at home, so five road games out of seven, which 752 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 1: is a very you know, they obviously have a heavy 753 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: backloaded home schedule, and those two home games ones against 754 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens, you know, division game, and the other ones 755 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: against the Patriots. So you gotta be that is and 756 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: if you're the ownership in Cleveland and you're trying to 757 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: sell tickets and in all your games are at home 758 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: in November and December and you're one in nine. You're 759 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: looking at a half empty stadium? Is a factors? Don't 760 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: say that before put the chisel down. Look at the 761 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 1: Buccaneers in the first five weeks. This stands out. In 762 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: the first five weeks, the Buccaneers play the Cardinals, Broncos 763 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: and Panthers, the three best teams in the NFL. Yeah, 764 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: and two of those games are on the road. I 765 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: think that's a car play two road games to start 766 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: the years. The Bucks have have a tough one. I 767 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 1: thought the Rams and you could really put any team 768 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: that gets stuck playing a home game in London as 769 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: a team with an a tough schedule because you're basically 770 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,399 Speaker 1: giving up a home game. I know everyone's excited they're 771 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: moving here, but like I said, they have two home 772 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: games in l a before November six, and that's because 773 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: of the USC thing. And they also are they going 774 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: to have that much of a home field advantage here anyways, 775 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: And they're gonna be a lot of road road fans 776 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,879 Speaker 1: in l white out at least initially. All Right, let's 777 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: move on, and you gotta play four games against the 778 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: Seahawks and Cardinals. That ain't fun. Bra Let's move on. 779 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: Mark you wrote, uh, an excellent piece. I couldn't put 780 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: it down on the Thursday night football schedule. The games 781 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 1: that really jumped out to you, well, I had to 782 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 1: write about every game actually, so and I know I 783 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: believe I have this assignment last year and it was 784 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: a banger. I remember, uh the Twitter had it, wasn't it? 785 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: Dad had it two years ago? He did a very 786 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: uh what I thought was what I wanted to take. 787 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: This approach you you put them in tears kind of 788 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: best right, And then NFL Network got on Dan's back 789 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: and said, uhh, I've been doing it this way, so 790 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: now it becomes what a Russian novel where you go 791 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: through every single game and give your thoughts. That reminds 792 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: me of when they had me do a live blog 793 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: of the first Pro Bowl Draft and I made a 794 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: crack about Steve Mariucci potentially getting blown into the Pacific 795 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: Ocean and several producers talked bad about me behind my 796 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 1: back for years and maybe to this day. For bet 797 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: all right, Mark, uh t NF skid what jumps out? Well, 798 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: when I was gonna do Top five, I I struggled 799 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: with it, to be honest with you, because I think 800 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: TNF has a has a bit of a complexity issue 801 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: in terms of getting the best games because it's where 802 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: you have to put all these teams that wouldn't be 803 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: on prime time otherwise, and there's a lot of divisional 804 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: games obviously focused on that. They aren't all because you've 805 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 1: got Miami and Cincinnati in Week four. I liked right 806 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: out of the gate. I know you don't like the 807 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 1: Jets schedule. A Week two Jets versus Rex Ryan and 808 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: the Bills. I like getting that. Let's t that up 809 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,879 Speaker 1: early and get a feel for both teams. I think, 810 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: you know, Buffalo has got a lot to prove that. 811 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: Jets don't want to deal with Rex Ryan. They want 812 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: to put them under six ft under the ground and 813 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: they'll have a chance. Don't don't want to kill them? 814 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: Well I I don't. You know, I don't want to either, 815 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: But I just say it was kind of an amica 816 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: amicable divorce between Jets fans, and I like to make 817 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,919 Speaker 1: it more than it was. Um. You know, I thought 818 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: there was a lost opportunity in Week five Arizona Cardinals, 819 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: which were on prime time a lot last year. You 820 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: put them against the Niners, and you know, come on, 821 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 1: could we have found a better match up here, but again, 822 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: Tianna has to get the Niners on prime time somehow. 823 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: That's an interesting call though, because the minimum is one 824 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: primetime game, but the Niners, just looking at it, got 825 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: too and I feel like that's one too many for 826 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: the Niners. I feel like they should have been at 827 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: the minimum. Yeah, you're right, they got that. They got 828 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: the opening week one, which is sort of you know 829 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: that that doublehead or second one isn't the best spot. 830 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree, Cardinals, but there's some good games here. 831 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 1: Texans Patriots is interesting. Week three. I think they have 832 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: done a good job later in the year because Week 833 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: thirteen and fourteen, December one, December eight, you get the 834 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 1: Cowboys at the Vikings has potentially be interesting, and you know, 835 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 1: a matchup that has really pretty much sucked for a 836 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 1: long time, the Raiders and Chiefs, a story rivalry, actually 837 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: might have some juice at that time of year. I 838 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,879 Speaker 1: like this Week sixteen game with playoff implications on the line. 839 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 1: T J. Yates comes off the bench, recovered for mac 840 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: l surgery and beat the Bengals. Again. That's on cre 841 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: love it. That's on Christmas Eve. So while while the 842 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: rest of America is unwrapping presents and by the fire, 843 00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: t J. Yates Christmas be with West at the board 844 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: monitoring every move. By the way this is, this has 845 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 1: nothing to do with you know we I guess we 846 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: could have known this before uh today, But this is 847 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 1: one of those years. And I believe it only happens 848 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: once every seven years. I guess even more often that 849 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: that football is being played on Saturday of week sixteen 850 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: the whole league just about and it's Christmas Eve with 851 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 1: a night game and then with the night game. Then 852 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: they put a couple of games on Christmas as well. Papa, 853 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: are you yeah? Basically as I you know when I 854 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 1: was scanning this, you're trying to have what fires are 855 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: are we gonna need to put out on the home front. 856 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,800 Speaker 1: It's a long season, and you know, you get around 857 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: the fact that we all you know, you're getting banged 858 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: with three games on Thanksgiving and now it's usually Christmas, 859 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,720 Speaker 1: which you know falls on a Wednesday or a Thursday, 860 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 1: and everyone Connor or probably doesn't early shift and everyone 861 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: else is off. Now it's line it. Line yourself up 862 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: for twenty seven games, a ton of night everyone six 863 00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: across Goddy go away, get ready for that exactly. You know, 864 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 1: the you know, the league has essentially uh, their family 865 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,319 Speaker 1: first motto takes a hit here. You're just you're just 866 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:14,479 Speaker 1: gonna have to pretend that the Christmas that's all, Mama. 867 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 1: That's a great and that's a great tradition. Mama. What 868 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 1: our daddy's priorities? Can I mention one thing? In Week ten? 869 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: Beat writers listening to this thinking we're a bunch of 870 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: spoiled guys. We get to stay home with our family. 871 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: They travel, They are not listening to the Can you 872 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: provide some nuanced contexts on NFL's deal with Twitter? Uh? Well, 873 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 1: actually asked a question because I used to follow up question? 874 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: They said, what is it gonna look like on Twitter? 875 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: But what does it mean? You sit there and it's 876 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 1: you can't get away from it? There are a lot 877 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: of people on Twitter we have nothing to do with 878 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: football to have a choice to not watch it. And 879 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: the answer was, we don't know. That's that's where we're at. Well, 880 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 1: that's I'm giving you as much as I assume it'll be, 881 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:02,879 Speaker 1: it'll be some sort of you know, like any online presentation, 882 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 1: it'll just be It'll basically be some sort of screen 883 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: or whatever you call it app type of thing. You're 884 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,399 Speaker 1: watching the game and maybe they'll into screen Twitter next 885 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: to you, know what I mean. It's not like they're 886 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: gonna make you watch it. You got to open it up, 887 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 1: like like the NBC one or the NFL one. How 888 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: do you tweet while you're watching? That's the thing. How 889 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 1: is that going to be integrated? It's just gonna be 890 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: sort of on the right rail where it's all like connected. 891 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 1: It would be cool if they don't change the name 892 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 1: of that show to the Couch Show. They're really missing 893 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 1: an opportunity. Well check, wait, what is it? We're a 894 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: little rusty now. It's the Sunday Extravagance NFL NFL Game 895 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: Day Blitz only on NFL Now. But well, you know 896 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: it's different as we get Alan Chris on these Thursday nights, 897 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: they have five games CBS is five. They won't know 898 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,399 Speaker 1: what to do without an NFC's team, and every since 899 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: they do have the Cowboys here at least once since 900 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,799 Speaker 1: you brought up the announces. Oh, Mike Tariko, you've done 901 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: it again. Tasked with calling the final Kobe Bryant game, 902 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,760 Speaker 1: you provided call after call that made me think once again, 903 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: you are the best in the business. With all apologies 904 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,320 Speaker 1: to al Michael's so versatile. I thought it was funny 905 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: though that Hub Brown. There was a little bit of 906 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 1: discomfort you could tell with him of the total focus 907 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: on He's hit fifty points and then he was like, yeah, 908 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: but they're trailing by ten, like he kept mentioning that that, 909 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: oh hey, by the way, like there's a game being player, 910 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,720 Speaker 1: but who was? It all worked out well because Kobe 911 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 1: ended up making a comeback and they win. But but 912 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: every once in a while you could see it was 913 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: a little uncomfortable with Tarriko just going well, who really 914 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 1: have the right context though? Because who cared about the game? 915 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: The game's the outcome of the game. Trico Tariko got 916 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 1: to the heart of the matter. I agree, but only 917 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: because they won. If they had lost by ten, it 918 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been the same thing. It was a good 919 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 1: costUS impersonation by Trico getting to the heart of the manner. Well. 920 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: I like that. By the way, a lot more costs 921 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 1: coming at you with this new Thursday Night. It's interesting 922 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: I noticed in our makeup room. I don't know if 923 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: Dan or West You've ever seen this. Uh, there's a 924 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 1: picture of Bob Costas with his signature on it in 925 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: our makeup room. You know how people sign a little 926 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,800 Speaker 1: picture and they put it up. There's one from Costas 927 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: from two thousand four. I saw that the other day. 928 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 1: I went back in there today and I looked and 929 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: it was stolen. It was it was god. I think 930 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 1: number one it's a polaroid. They have hundreds of polaroids 931 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,479 Speaker 1: of everyone that's ever been That's right, everyone but four 932 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: people that have ever been on NFL network and Costas. 933 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:39,799 Speaker 1: Our list of grievances is h Finally, before we get 934 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:50,919 Speaker 1: out of here, let's talk uh revenge games, just trying. 935 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 1: I wrote the copy just like when the chorus hits 936 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 1: is when it really takes off. See now this, this 937 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: this gets me thinking, I should ask I should ask 938 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: my wife Emma, you know, for some of her favorite 939 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: j pop. I mean, because I think you can do 940 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: even better than this. She likes Bump of Chicken. That's 941 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 1: one that was that was Irishman. Can you take note 942 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: of that that wasn't her favorite? There was this other 943 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 1: group that was her favorite. Another buddy Dave liked them too, 944 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: but I can't remember Chicken Bump of chicken. How do 945 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: you top that? Good luck to you. Let's open the 946 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 1: next show with a bump of chicken. Alright, So the 947 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 1: this this is about the games that scream revenge uh 948 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 1: and the two that really obviously jump out one in 949 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,560 Speaker 1: week seven we'll start with actually put in order in 950 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: which they'll take place Week four, r G three against 951 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:49,839 Speaker 1: the Redskins in the landover uh. Of course, there are 952 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: two things in play here for this even to be 953 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,319 Speaker 1: something that's on uh the nation's collective radar by the 954 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: time this actually comes around. RG three has to be 955 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: the starter for the Cleveland Browns we don't know as 956 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 1: of yet, depending on how the draft shakes out. And 957 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 1: r G three has to stay healthy for the first 958 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 1: three weeks of the season, which is no given obviously 959 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 1: given his history. But let's just for the fun of it, 960 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,319 Speaker 1: say he is on the field as the starter, and 961 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:18,319 Speaker 1: he is high in the sky playing well mark UH. 962 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 1: Then he gets to go into watching the team that 963 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 1: gave up on him, the guy that was supposed to 964 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: make that franchise relevant for a decade and a half. Instead, 965 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,879 Speaker 1: they kicked him out the door, And now he gets 966 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: a chance at I thought this might wind up being 967 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,879 Speaker 1: Cleveland Cleveland schedule for like the eighth year in a row, 968 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 1: there are there is one primetime game and fifteen games 969 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 1: that started. And that's the case. Again, I thought this 970 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 1: would get that prime time treatment, but you know it 971 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 1: has to be earlier in the year, and it's probably 972 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 1: I knew it wasn't definitely gonna happen, so they probably 973 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,120 Speaker 1: couldn't bank on it. No, they put them. They put 974 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 1: them on Thursday Night Football in a week ten against 975 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 1: the Ravens in Baltimore. You think Mark's being cute the 976 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 1: Browns of prime times? I mean, why that's not forgetting me? 977 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,719 Speaker 1: Football fans don't want to watch that game. Well, so 978 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 1: I guess I guess you're right. Wait, what is the question? Well, 979 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 1: I thought that I thought he was like smirking at 980 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: you be. I don't think he's riping about the Browns 981 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 1: prime time. So now I think he knows that that's 982 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 1: not a good idea. I like this Mario Williams, because 983 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 1: it was just at the owners meetings in March where 984 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: Rex said we're gonna have that game circle. Yeah, and 985 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 1: not only did Mary Williams call out Rex or and 986 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,800 Speaker 1: that's two matchups obviously, because Williams landed with the Dolphins 987 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: a week seven and sixteen, Williams called out Rex Ryan 988 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 1: Schemes is not a good fit for his skill set, 989 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 1: and then Bill's players as things that got ugly leaked 990 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 1: how Mario wasn't really playing hard and this was a 991 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,440 Speaker 1: guy who's, you know, highest paid guy on the team. Uh. 992 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,319 Speaker 1: By the way, a little breaking news, uh, since we're 993 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 1: on the topic of the Buffalo Bills. Percy Harvin, nice man, 994 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 1: the Chisels, everybody, everybody's working through the weekend on Mount 995 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 1: Ruy More because Brandon is killing it today. Percy Harvin 996 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 1: is has told the Bills that he's retiring, uh from 997 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,400 Speaker 1: the NFL. This from rap Sheet, per source and formed 998 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,799 Speaker 1: of Harvin's thinking, so we had heard. This basically goes 999 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 1: against the reporting from about a month ago that he 1000 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 1: was planning on playing but apparently, you know, speculation here, 1001 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 1: but maybe that hip is not bouncing back and it's 1002 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,799 Speaker 1: now something that he decided to end his career on. 1003 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,240 Speaker 1: Percy Harvin at a football before the age of thirty 1004 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 1: definitely just doesn't mean what it used to be, because 1005 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 1: that's what the report was March thirty. He's definitely playing 1006 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,280 Speaker 1: in two times. Well, he he has informed the Bills 1007 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,360 Speaker 1: that that he's retiring. Who knows, he could obviously change 1008 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:44,279 Speaker 1: his mind, but next week and or he could even 1009 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,840 Speaker 1: more likely change his mind next year. Uh, that's becoming 1010 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:49,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a trend, but I could 1011 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: see it becoming a trend. Players taking a year off 1012 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,600 Speaker 1: like Anthony Davis Percy. Harvin's only twenty seven years old, 1013 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 1: might decide he wants to play again. But if he 1014 00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,800 Speaker 1: doesn't play again, what a weird career? Yeah, four four 1015 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,880 Speaker 1: teams looked like a superstar gets kicked off, essentially the 1016 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 1: super Bowl champion team because of a fight. Just Everynge 1017 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 1: Grange career when you thought he was going to be 1018 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: so good from a talent level though, I mean we 1019 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 1: just talked about RG three. You want to talk about 1020 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 1: a list of players where injuries sideswiped what would have 1021 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 1: been potentially a really fascinating NFL career. I mean, Harvin 1022 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: is if if you had put Harvin with an earlier period, 1023 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,239 Speaker 1: Brett Farve, when he was with Farv in the in 1024 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,920 Speaker 1: the in the Vikings, he was marvel as good as 1025 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,680 Speaker 1: a rookie. He's a rare rookie that came into the 1026 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 1: league and making it, made a big impact right away 1027 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 1: and was pretty healthy is first three years in the league. 1028 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 1: The end was the Migraine. It was like, I feel 1029 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,360 Speaker 1: like we've there were four thousand articles for about the 1030 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,719 Speaker 1: migrane and with Harvard just shows you how quickly things 1031 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 1: change in the league. Last spring there was the big 1032 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,240 Speaker 1: around the Jets, big hubub should they keep Percy Harvin 1033 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 1: at fourteen million a year or cut him loose and 1034 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,240 Speaker 1: go get someone else. They decided to trade for Brandon Marshall. 1035 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 1: That obviously worked out very well, Big Mac. He then 1036 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 1: signs of the Bills West and I remember you writing 1037 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 1: about it. He looked great in September and and then 1038 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 1: the injury bug came up and got him early in 1039 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 1: his career. One of the physically toughest wide receivers in 1040 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 1: the league and maybe the best after catch wide receiver 1041 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,799 Speaker 1: I ever saw. Was the first eight weeks of two 1042 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,719 Speaker 1: thousand eleven or twelve, he was in the m v 1043 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: P race and he was so elusive after the catch. 1044 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick loves him. Well, think about it. Only three 1045 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:31,479 Speaker 1: years ago. The smartest or one of the smartest front 1046 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 1: offices in the league, gave up a first round pick 1047 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 1: to acquire him and a third round pick. It was 1048 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:42,560 Speaker 1: the first and the third to get Percy Harvin. But anyway, 1049 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 1: so yes, maybe we'll talk about that a little later, uh, 1050 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 1: in another show. But back to uh, you know, revenge, 1051 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,919 Speaker 1: which is the key thing to be talking about here. Yeah, 1052 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 1: so the Bills don't like Mary Williams. Mary Williams doesn't 1053 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,360 Speaker 1: like the Bills. That's double sided revenge narrative. A couple 1054 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,400 Speaker 1: other revenge pops of course, brock Osweiler versus the Broncos 1055 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: versus the Broncos in Week seven, and they put that 1056 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 1: in primetime. Uh. They it's Monday Night Football, my friend 1057 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 1: Mike Tarko uh and John Gruden with a call, so yummy, yummy, yummy. Uh, 1058 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 1: and uh like this one West Chris Long versus the 1059 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,319 Speaker 1: Rams Week thirteen. I know, Wes, you think that Chris 1060 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 1: Long has got something in the tank. You know he 1061 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: has that date circles because how annoying is it to 1062 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 1: be Chris? Everything ended up well, you're with the a 1063 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: f C powerhouse, but you Lee, after years of middling 1064 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,239 Speaker 1: teams in St. Louis, they moved to l A that's fun. 1065 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,879 Speaker 1: Then they go get the quarterback and now you get 1066 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 1: shipped out of town or get dumped. How about it? 1067 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: I take the Patriots if I was him about an 1068 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:42,279 Speaker 1: impromptu round of go get my lunch. Wow, Chris Long 1069 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 1: has more sex than Chandler Jones in the two thousand 1070 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: sixteen se I'll take that. I'll take you. You would 1071 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,480 Speaker 1: take it too, right, Yeah, because you're because you're going 1072 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 1: with the guy who, even in his even in his prime, 1073 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,319 Speaker 1: was not getting the same amount of sacks as Chandler Jones. 1074 00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,919 Speaker 1: I believe Chris Long's only top ten sacks one set 1075 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,560 Speaker 1: that could be. I like to look at it that. 1076 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 1: I will not owe you that sandwich till at least 1077 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: about January two. From two thousand and ten through two 1078 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:11,759 Speaker 1: thou thirteen, Chris Long average hits herries in sacks, which 1079 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,919 Speaker 1: was second in the NFL over that four year span 1080 00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,320 Speaker 1: to Cameron Weeks SEV. Yeah, but the last two years 1081 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 1: are also a real thing. They happened. They were cut 1082 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,719 Speaker 1: short due he did have to two seasons over over 1083 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,799 Speaker 1: ten sex. I'm sure he's lost a step or two. 1084 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 1: But we're talking about a guy who was one of 1085 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 1: the premier pass rushers in the league. Good sandwich, Wazer, 1086 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 1: what a shocker breaking news, and go get my left 1087 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,000 Speaker 1: and that that reminds me, by the way, that's that's 1088 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,239 Speaker 1: enough of that revenge malarkey. But um, that reminds me 1089 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 1: that my least favorite round. But I take part in 1090 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:48,360 Speaker 1: it because that's you can't be a coward. My least 1091 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,320 Speaker 1: favorite round of Go get my lunch props. Uh is 1092 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 1: draft season where I killed last season. I think something 1093 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,160 Speaker 1: to the tune of two and fourteen. I've rallied back 1094 00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: when a real football stuff. But I'm back with a 1095 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 1: new strategy. I'll have but we will We'll have to 1096 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 1: do it. I guess next week or or the week after. 1097 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 1: We got two weeks to figure it out. But we 1098 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 1: will have another round. And go get my lunch Draft edition, 1099 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: and if you want to check up on how things 1100 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 1: are going, go get my lunch dot org.

Now Dan's basically tied. 1102 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,080 Speaker 1: You know, I I have more uh more wagers, but 1103 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,640 Speaker 1: we're both nine over, so it's close. West is right 1104 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:36,480 Speaker 1: there as well. Mark. I started terribly. I actually did 1105 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:37,840 Speaker 1: well in the draft one. But the draft is going 1106 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,359 Speaker 1: to be a wild card because I would I would 1107 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,719 Speaker 1: wager that the four of us have never spent less 1108 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 1: time studying the Draft than this year. That's potentially true. Um, 1109 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 1: all right, we gotta go.
