9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: Childish Gambino dropped a new album on the internet at

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: four am on a Sunday during a pandemic. Well, we

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: just went up to Mr Glover. Yeah, well the difference,

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Mr Glover. Mr Glover will be rewarded for having done

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: any amount of work. We will not be rewarded at all.

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: So we will be rewarded by our listeners appreciation, in

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: our in our growing fan base. This is like when

16
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: they do the documentary about our podcast, will be like

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: it was really during the pandemic that they took it

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: to the next level. Like those eight ten guys they

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: were around and they were doing great work, and they

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: had they had a solid fan base. When that pandemic hit.

21
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they took off, you know what, to

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: borrow one of their terms, they made the leap. It's

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: the guy what's his name from the NFL Films Countdowns

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: with the name, the Italian name Damon Alma Dalaro Oh Adela, Yeah,

25
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: like his his His greatest career accomplishment is that somehow

26
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: he managed to be in every single NFL Top ten

27
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: episode ever aired on NFL network. Mandela take a show.

28
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, Mandela has had a nice career. I think

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: up there in New England and all that, But what

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: in terms of the greatest accomplishments, imagine beyond every It's

31
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: like the equivalent of Jennifer Anison on every episode of Friends.

32
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: He somehow did it for a clip show. Although as

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: we as we are aware, they don't pay you for

34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: that clip show. So it's like there's a fine line

35
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: between wind and desperate that most get. We'll get like

36
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: a pound cake from like Southampton, England. That's at most

37
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: what we received for this effort. So, okay, where are

38
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: we right now? Well, we're across Los Angeles, same thing.

39
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: It's a bunker cast two point oh. So I'm in

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: the throwback podcast garage at my place West. You're in

41
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: front of the pretty lights with a good function, got

42
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: the good backyard lights. Going on to your abode, Greg,

43
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: you are in the same room as I'm in my

44
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: bedroom now I move that is that has a lot

45
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: to break down there where all the magic and Mark

46
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: Mark You talk a lot about how your house is

47
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: always overrun by children at this hour. They in bed

48
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: right now. And where are you? Are you in the

49
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: shack the backshack? I'm in parts unknown. I'm not even

50
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: at my home address. I'm not going to get into

51
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: any further details about that. Wait really, oh no, he

52
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: did it. I convinced the NFL to put put him

53
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: up at all. I've not convinced them to do anything.

54
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: It's just that whenever this podcast comes around, it will

55
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: cost me something, and this time around it's cost me greenbacks, dollars,

56
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: human dollars. Did the dedication the dedication that I have

57
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: to this show. You spend five minutes five minutes in

58
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: my house and act as walk around, prance around my

59
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: home and act like you could broadcast a football show

60
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: about Ryan Tannehill. I guarantee you you couldnot, so you know,

61
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: but but let's but let's be real, You're never really

62
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: um it's not hard for you to come up with

63
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: an idea of why you need to be out of

64
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: the house and in the hotel somewhere. So this just

65
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: lined up nicely, right. This is kind of a nice coincidence.

66
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: Once again the pandemic coming up big for you. Separate

67
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: issue are you going to are you going to sleep there? What?

68
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: That is a personal question, Greg, that's not for like,

69
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: it's not for the British and the you know, the

70
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: Scottish to know is that and that's that more of

71
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: a motel? It is no, Actually, I will to be honest,

72
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: we are in a this is a very a ton

73
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: of people watching this are in the same situation. You

74
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: have two parents working, You've got kids that have been

75
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: suddenly released out of their structure onto the home front.

76
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: And the wife and I, very collaboratively as a as

77
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: a duo, came up with a solution where we can

78
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: both work and uh, this is my day to work

79
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: here and we have found a home base for her

80
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: to work here on her days, so you know she

81
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: will not be joining the show. But going on, it's

82
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: hard to explain. It is hard to you guys, have

83
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: booked a hotel for the week. We found a very

84
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: a very low level accommodation where we can both have

85
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: essentially an office space. Uh if you know, And I

86
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: think that a lot of people think my children are

87
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: wonderful and mine are, but like they are also quite

88
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: loud and destructive at times, and it's not the most

89
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: work friendly environment to do, uh something on microphones. So

90
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: like about you know, taping tonight, it's because you had

91
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: a big date with you know, Skinn and Max a

92
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: little bit later. What's going on? I don't Greg, I

93
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: don't think that that network even exists at this point.

94
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: So that is I don't know where what area again,

95
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what area you live in, but that

96
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: is that that is not an active channel at this point.

97
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: And what's the rate per what's the rate per hour

98
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: at this motel? Have a friend's house or something. I

99
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: think I've answered enough questions, like I like I it

100
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: was a stretch that I signed up to do this.

101
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't need to be grilled the entire time. Move

102
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: on into the low level signings that have plagued the day. Okay,

103
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 1: so we're plague right now. Yeah, let's address this because

104
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be doing this. Mark, Um, I know you're

105
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: annoyed for it. If it was not it was the

106
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: opening of the show is slightly annoyed. But yeah, if

107
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: it was like Ryan Tannehill and Calais Campbell deals which

108
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: will get to happening, I don't think we would have

109
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: done this show. But this really was like a day

110
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: the NFL unlike the NFL has ever had. The fact

111
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: that you agreed to a collective bargaining agreement basically would

112
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: have been the high point of Roger Goodell's life in career,

113
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: and that by the end of the day it felt

114
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: like kind of like a minor story. I mean, a

115
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: lot of things in the NFL feel like a minor

116
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: story right now, but um to like to go to

117
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: the seventeen game season and everything that happens with the

118
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: new c b A and then by the end of it,

119
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: the fact that free agency is still going on. It's

120
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: just I don't know, there has never been anything like

121
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: this in our lives NFL related, but certainly just in

122
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: terms of the world. And yet how the NFL fits

123
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: into it is fascinating because it seems like it's the

124
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: only major business that's in sporting event that's trying to

125
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: not be effective. Do you think an urban motel is

126
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen safe, Like is it? Do you think it's

127
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: a place or But he's in the clear right now.

128
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: It's a good question. I mean, if anything, I brought

129
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: the COVID with me. It's not that it. You know,

130
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: I didn't arrive into the COVID. I brought it with me.

131
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: But I think Greg Gregg made a very salient point there.

132
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: That was a nice introduction. And let's dive back into

133
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: and by the way, Erica is in the middle of

134
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: Erica's with us Ricky Hollywood, in the middle of hosting

135
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: an online movie marathon book Smart, and you're not able

136
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: to comment on the movie at all because you're doing

137
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: this with us. So, you know, let's shift. You're on

138
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: live tweeting my my hashtag Virtual Movie Night VMN Lakeisha's watching,

139
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: Colleen's walking, watching Cynthia Freeland's watching. We're all live tweeting,

140
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, uh, and Dan sent, Dan sent the text

141
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: and here I am locked away in my bedroom. Thanks.

142
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: But you know, Greg brings up the good point because

143
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: this is also Yeah, that was a nice shot by Greg.

144
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: Good job there. But but like this was we're here

145
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: because we we kind of thought like everybody thought that

146
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: this free agency was gonna get pushed back. Now where

147
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: we are now, it is nine pm Pacific time, so

148
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: it's after midnight on the East Coast. It could still happen.

149
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the reports aren't there now is that the

150
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: league it's gonna start on time and you're probably listening

151
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: to this and maybe it already has. I mean, and

152
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: they sent a memo to the team's you know that

153
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: it's starting out on time, and they sent that seven

154
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: pm Eastern time, right, But this is also a world

155
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: and I'll quote the New York Times here, the Centers

156
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Sunday that no gatherings

157
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: with fifty people or more, including weddings, festivals, parades, concerts,

158
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: sporting events, or conferences, be held in the United States

159
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: for the next eight weeks in one of the federal

160
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: government's most sweeping efforts the slow the spread of the coronavirus.

161
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: These are unprecedented times, so anything could change. But we

162
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: are proceeding right now. Is if um the NFL is

163
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: about to go off as it does every year in

164
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: this week of free agency, starting with Monday's legal tampering period.

165
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: So what we thought would be a good idea since

166
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna have so much unpacked when we do a

167
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: show later Monday, was to kind of catch up on

168
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: the news that has happened since we left you Friday.

169
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: We taped Friday early afternoon here on the West Coast,

170
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: and there's been quite a lot of it, Mark, including

171
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned Ryan Tannehill, which I thought I find to

172
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: be rather saucy league news, but at all, of course,

173
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: you have to keep everything in perspective. It is, but

174
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: I think that I think the bigger news and you know,

175
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: not to constantly cycle back to Greg's intro, but it

176
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: the cb A getting the timing of the whole thing,

177
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: because we we have been hitting on this in the

178
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: lead up for weeks. That the c ba's timing with

179
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: the launch the potential launch of the new league here

180
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: and all the other stuff is like feels like unlike

181
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: anything we've experienced as NFL fans, And it was really

182
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, but I was like

183
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: on Twitter all day long today trying to find out

184
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: is tomorrow's free agency bum rush gonna happen or is

185
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: it not? Like it's like, if you're us, you've got

186
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: to find out what this week is about, because it

187
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: was one it was very two distinct options. One either

188
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: we're heading into a waterfall of fire or everything goes

189
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: totally silent for ten to fourteen days or more. And

190
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: we got and I thought all along, I was told

191
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: by someone actual fleet, you know, and I sent this

192
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: to you guys, someone very confidently told me this is

193
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: not happening. The league year is not happening. You can

194
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: sit back in your easy chair if I owned one,

195
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: and you could just put your legs up, and it's

196
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: time to go like everyone else, start reading a ton

197
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: of books and watching all the movies you never watched.

198
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: But a little mark, a little lesson, mark, a little

199
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: lesson in single sourcing there, huh, A single source, A

200
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: single source, a single source. And you know what, I

201
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: paid the price. I paid the price because right now

202
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm paying the price. So it's like we I think

203
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: that I think the NFL and the NFL p A

204
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: had no idea themselves how this would end tonight. And

205
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: here we are, all right, So let's get into it

206
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: a lot to break down, starting yes with the collective

207
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: Bargaining Agreement, which is in itself huge news that's worth

208
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: its own show. So let's get into let's hit the news. Ricky,

209
00:11:49,200 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: You're sorry, sorry for purchasing, Sorry for buying all of this. No,

210
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that I would. Yes, that is a

211
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: story that that was came up in the New York Times.

212
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: A man but seventeen thousand, seven hundred bottles of hand sanitizer.

213
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: Uh and his goal was to sell them online at

214
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: a premium markup of almost seventy dollars. Uh. And it

215
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: kind of blew up in his face. Uh. And now

216
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: he's decided just to donate him. So he's taken quite

217
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: a financial hit. And you know what, that's what you got.

218
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: You can't be greedy in times like this. Humans. I

219
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: think the proper level of shame was applied to the situation.

220
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: He got killed. I mean, the New York Times did

221
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: an article on him. He sold three hundred bottles of

222
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: hand sanitizer at a markup on Amazon before the company

223
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: removed his listings, and Warren sellers that they could be

224
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: suspended for price gouging. So he he did regret it.

225
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: He did regret it apparently. Anyway, all right, let's get

226
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: into it. These are weird times. Everybody let's start with

227
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: the news. Uh, the NFL Players Association Yes, voted to

228
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: ratify a new collective bargaining agreement that was previously approved

229
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: by the NFL owners in February. The final tally one

230
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: thousand and nineteen to nine fifty nine, very close vote

231
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: that concluded at midnight Saturday. The players signed off on

232
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: the new CBA that will ben begin with the upcoming season,

233
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: extends through the twenty thirty campaign. And what are the

234
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: notable changes? Okay, so we know it. The addition of

235
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: two more playoff teams uh starting this season. Also the

236
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: option to increase the regular season into seventeen games starting

237
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: in the minimum salary shoot up, performance based pay and

238
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: player revenue will go up. Uh. And there's certain a

239
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: bunch of other things of course too. There's so much.

240
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: It's a very dense agreement, but those are kind of

241
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: the big takeaways. It's a done deal and that allows

242
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: things to move forward in a time of such great

243
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: uncertainty in the world, in the NFL world, everything would

244
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 1: have been kind of torn asunder. If this is a

245
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: vote no, it was close, but it was a vote yes. Well,

246
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: the NFL got what it wanted with the seventeen games. Uh,

247
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: they get to take this deal and shop at to

248
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: all the TV networks at the most optimal time for them,

249
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: or what they had planned to be the most optimal

250
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: time um with with league peace, and the players get

251
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: what hasn't been reported a lot. The pensions for about

252
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: eleven thousand former players go up. That's good. Guys can

253
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: get pensions now after three years instead of four if

254
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: you've only been in the league for three years instead

255
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: of four. And then you know, the rosters go to

256
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: fifty five. Taxi squad goes up, so there's there's quite

257
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: a bit they did get well. They also, you know,

258
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: get the seventeen games. If you're the owners. It doesn't

259
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: seem to me like they had to give up that

260
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: much to do it. If you had said when the

261
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: last lockout happened that they ever would have added games

262
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: to the schedule, I would have been surprised. It just

263
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: felt like that was a no go forever. And the

264
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: fact that they got an extra game and they did

265
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: it with a year to spare before this c b

266
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: A even came up is amazing to me. And I

267
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: think it was a good deal for the players to

268
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: UH for a lot of reasons, and if they're willing

269
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: to play seventeen games, you know that that's fine. You

270
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: get rid of the preseason game and on you go.

271
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: But it's amazing listening to Mike Garrett Folo talk on

272
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: NFL Network today that he thinks that there was like

273
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: a late vote and and it's hard to really get

274
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: the data on this, but that basically the situation changed

275
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: so much from when the voting opened to when the

276
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: voting closed that he said he talked to some players

277
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: that had voted no that maybe would have changed their

278
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: mind and voted yes by the end of the week

279
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: because we're entering a period of unprecedented uncertainty, and that

280
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: maybe there were plenty of owners who wouldn't have been

281
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: that disappointed if the players had voted no, because they

282
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't have offered such a good deal. Like it felt

283
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: like a lot of the players voting late in the

284
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: NFL p AH tried to get them to vote as

285
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: much as they could late in the week, maybe voted

286
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: more to pass it, and it barely passed. I think

287
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: it's notable also that the one of the side stories

288
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: was that I believe it was five plus players that

289
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: didn't vote at all, and you've got certain players they

290
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: talked about leaning on their their reps to kind of

291
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: represent them um, which I don't know if that's for

292
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: a lack of having really studied what was in the

293
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: c B a UM or just disinterest. The same way

294
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: with any vote that some people just decide not on

295
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: either side or want to see if it gets rejected

296
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: and we can renegotiate, we're happy with that. I'm just wondering,

297
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: is anyone like I'm kind of warming up seventeen games basically,

298
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: because like with anything at work, where they say here's

299
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: what's happening now, and you either just have to accept

300
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: it or decide not to work there anymore, Like it's

301
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm warming up to it. I don't. I've never really

302
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: been a fan of seventeen games because I find it unnecessary.

303
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: I find it asymmetrical, which I think we've talked about before.

304
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: I have always been a fan of the five record,

305
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: where it basically tells you you are um raging, Lee, mediocre,

306
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: you're eight in eight and now none of that exists anymore. Well,

307
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: just it's it's very It was a penalty. It was

308
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: a penalty, right, you know what I mean? It was

309
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: like you are middle LINKD team. But you know what,

310
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: to me, this is one part of this is yes,

311
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be asymmetrical, but it's also deal with the

312
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: devil is strong because that's not a good connotation. But

313
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: there's a Pandora's box element to this that it's seventeen,

314
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: it's gonna be eighteen eventually, because it just makes too

315
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: much sense. If it's at seventeen, eighteen is going to

316
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: happen as well, and then they that will be the

317
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: next thing that gets pushed for guarantee. What so I

318
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: do to me that I think that this CBA matters

319
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: because from compared to the last one, there's always these

320
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: changes that matter for the players, but for the football fan,

321
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: this CBA has to be one of the biggest of

322
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: the last three or four decades because you're getting seventeen

323
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: games and suddenly you're getting a seventh playoff team. And

324
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: if you look at the teams from last year, and

325
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 1: you know there are years where it would pan out

326
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: where you get that team in there that you everyone

327
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: wanted in the playoffs, that's cool. I can sign up

328
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: for that. Last year would have been the eight and

329
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: eight Steelers and the Rams. We know that some people

330
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: love the idea of the rams being in there, but

331
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: it's still it wasn't well it's I mean, I'm looking

332
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: at one of them right now on my that but

333
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, but it's just I'm saying, like you're not,

334
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: you're not. It's like you're not. It's like a twelve

335
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: and four teams haven't been left out of the mix here.

336
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: So my one issue is that I always thought the

337
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: NFL restricted, for the most part, um half ass operations

338
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: from January where is like if you're if you're an

339
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: NHL fan, every team but like the New Jersey Devil

340
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: slips into the playoffs and the playoffs go on for

341
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: four and a half months, Like are we creeping are

342
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: into that world? Or I like when Mark pretends to

343
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: know anything about any other sports, listen to listen to

344
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: like seven thousand hours of w fan. I know that

345
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: like two hockey teams get in and and you don't

346
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: need that much. But I I'm cool with all of it.

347
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: I just some of the playoff teams that would that

348
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: would slip into me or do not deserve to be

349
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: in that area. Mark, we got Mark. I'm not going

350
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: to just say one thing though, you I think you

351
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: referred to it as half asked teams getting into the class. Mark,

352
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: You and I both root for half asked teams or

353
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: whatever your turn was. But I don't. But I don't

354
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: find it right. I don't find it right that like,

355
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: for instance, it is but at the playoffs, if last

356
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: year's Cleveland team had knocked off Pittsburgh in that second meeting,

357
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: they would have essentially been in line to make the playoffs.

358
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: They are the quintessential team to me that did not

359
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: do anything deserving of football. But let's just fast forward

360
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: to January, Mark and the nine and eight Browns sneak

361
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: into the You're You're gonna be on fire, don't it seems.

362
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: And that's what this is about. It's about, you know,

363
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: it's better for fans, I think ultimately, and I do

364
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: like that. The buy now is this total, it's this

365
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: golden thing. There's only one in each conference and you

366
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: that's one person get one team gets it and everybody

367
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: else has to claw and fight their way through the

368
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: first round. I kind of love that. So I'm not

369
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: in on this the extra game, but I love the

370
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: extra teams of the playoffs. I'm loving market in the motel.

371
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean, so far we've got raging Lee mediocre, which

372
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: is a great turn of phrase, and a waterfall of

373
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: fire of new Yeah, I love the waterfall of fire,

374
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: just like the Game of Thrones. Not a motel. Is it?

375
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: Someone's up? You're keep picking up your little investigative journals.

376
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: You're not, You're not any close. You're at someone's house.

377
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: I just saw I just saw a parasite last night.

378
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: Is there a parasite situation? What's that wacky poster behind

379
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: you on the wall? Not familiar with it? Where do you?

380
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: Where are the where are the bodies of the people

381
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: that own the house? As also not describing that. I

382
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: do want to say before we move on to there's

383
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: a couple like little small things where you have extra guys.

384
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: You know on game day the seventeenth game will not

385
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: be around until one at the very least, So no

386
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: nine and eight teams uh this year, but you do

387
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: have the playoff teams uh this year. And and it's

388
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: funny that, like I remember, everyone thought that Roger Goodell

389
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: was going to retire after this. This was like his

390
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: big like mission in life was to get them through

391
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: one more C, B, A and one more TV deal,

392
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: and it's very like Roger Goodell, just how his career

393
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: has gone, like this should have been the best of

394
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: his career, but instead like they have been fighting and

395
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: on the phone trying to figure out what's next, and

396
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: in taking a lot of grief for it because it's

397
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: kind of an impossible situation for everyone. He is a

398
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: bit of a fascinating figure in NFL history. We're living

399
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: it in real time right now, but when you fast

400
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: forward twenty five years, I'm interested interested to know what

401
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: his legacy is. There are certain areas of the country

402
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: where will it will not it doesn't matter, and I'm

403
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: referring to New England, but you could probably point to

404
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: other places where he's never going to be liked or respected.

405
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: But what what he presided over in terms of the

406
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: league's growth, um and getting these deals done. We're now

407
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: going to be by my math, which is never to

408
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: be trusted. After this c b A, assuming everything goes

409
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: off without a hitch, it will be forty three seasons

410
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: without a lost game UM or game with replacement players.

411
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: So that's that's unrivaled labor piece that the NFL has

412
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: pulled off. Well, Pete Roselle is the best commissioner the

413
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: history of sports, the NFL commissioner in the nineteen sixties, seventies,

414
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: and eighties, and what he went through in the eighties

415
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: from a legal perspective, was way more dramatic and confrontational

416
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: than anything Roger Goodell's had to go through. Who's the

417
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: guy in between? Hall of Famer between, that's my guy.

418
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: I'll go with. They love him in New Orleans, Paul

419
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: Tagley Boo saved the scenes more than more than their ownership.

420
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: By the way, then, I think he might have been

421
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: a full decade off on your uh, like a season

422
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: without a skipped game, if you were going to the

423
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: eighties season that was thirty three years ago, not forty three.

424
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: But I I appreciate what you were attempting to do. Well,

425
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: he's saying, by the time this one ends, yeah, you

426
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: go lay down on your bed bug infestival. But that's

427
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: not years ago? Are you saying to the end of

428
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: this deal? Oh? Please? Well, what are you done? You

429
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: have no idea? What do does this week not tell

430
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: you that you have no idea? What could happen with

431
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: the next ten years? Mark is now predicting the NFL

432
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: will be over before. It's not stopping at the NFL. Mark,

433
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: I preface it by saying, barring something unforeseen, I think

434
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: I covered the basis well. I thought I covered the

435
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: basis with about twenty of my sandwich bets, but no

436
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: one wants to bring that up. Well, I like, again,

437
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: it is a very it's a very thing with the

438
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: Sessler sandwich bets people popping up in my timeline. Well,

439
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: Mark has done it again. Pay him up sandwiches. Anything

440
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: that comes even remotely close to mark prediction, we need

441
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: to give out sandwiches. I'm not saying you have to

442
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: give me anything, but I would say that, like it's

443
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: because there's a pandemic. Now we all say anything about

444
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: the fact that, like you know, like if you're just

445
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: trying to see into the future, which is a hazy

446
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: um employment to begin with, like you you're not sure

447
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: of dates, but you're getting somewhere close and then bang,

448
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: here we are. I mean, what were you saying, m

449
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: v P. You know, candidate, well, you know you were

450
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: much closer to nailing this one than the Philly special.

451
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh please, I'm gonna I will walk to the door

452
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: of this establishment that I'm in now. I want to

453
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: do that. It's probably in a very seedy neighborhood of

454
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: let's move on, Ryan Tannel. Oh yeah, he's locked and

455
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: loaded in Nashville. The Titans and their quarterback have agreed

456
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: to terms on a four year extension worth a hundred

457
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: and eighteen million, including sixty two million fully guaranteed one

458
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: million in total guarantees. Yes, there is a difference. Rap

459
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: Sheet had those numbers. So the Titans after, you know,

460
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: we don't know if they ever flirted with the idea

461
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady. We we all had a lot of

462
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: fun with the Syracuse game with Brady and Edelman doing

463
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: the FaceTime call with Titans coach Mike Brabel, which gave

464
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: more thoughts to the idea that this could be a

465
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: landing spot for Tom Brady. Also, Tom Kern of um

466
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: NBC Boston threw it out there that it was essentially Pats,

467
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: Titans or Niners. Well, it looks like the Titans were

468
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: all in on their guy, or at least that's how

469
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: it ended up. So Tannehill is locked in with Nashville,

470
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: and that also West clears them if they choose to

471
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: go the franchise tag route with Derrick Henry they now

472
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: have that option because Tannehill is on the books. I

473
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: love this one. All the people who can't acknowledge that

474
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans exist from September through the end of

475
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: December now decide that they've overpaid for the quarterback because

476
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: they saw a couple of playoff games in which Derrick

477
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: Henry ran for two hundred yards and Tannehill didn't have

478
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: to do much. They've all decided that their quarterback can't

479
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: play and that the running back carried the team. Well,

480
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: you would love for your quarterback to have a one

481
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: seven team passer rating, ten yards per attempt, some of

482
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: the best numbers we've ever seen. Is there a risk? Sure,

483
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry carried the offense for a long time, But

484
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: as Gregg pointed out in his deepbrief, Tannehill wasn't just

485
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: great in play action, which he was. He was right

486
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: without play action. He was great on everything he did.

487
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: We talked about it during the year. We talked about

488
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: during the playoffs. Tannehill played the way everybody wants their

489
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: quarterback to play. If you're a fan of a team,

490
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: you want your quarterback to play like Tannehill did. He's athletic, enough,

491
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: he runs well, he threw into tight windows, he threw deep,

492
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: he was aggressive. He earned this. He earned this contract

493
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: still young enough. He's not a guy that's in the

494
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: wrong you know, he's not done the wrong side of

495
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: thirty five, so he should have a lot of good

496
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: football left in him. It would have been really risk,

497
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: I think to let him go and people getting on

498
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: the contract that quarter That is just what quarterbacks are paid.

499
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: The only thing that was surprising to me about it

500
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: is that it's basically a three year deal. So the

501
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: contract to be said a lot. I think it's said

502
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady stuff was always nonsense, because the fact

503
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: that they announced this deal right after the c b

504
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: A was agreed to shows that it was essentially agreed

505
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: to beforehand. And Ian Rappaport had said it was always

506
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna be Tannehill. You just put a deal this complicated

507
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: and important together at the last minute. So they were

508
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: waiting to see what the rules were gonna be, but

509
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: they probably knew they were gonna have Tannehill as their quarterback.

510
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: Brady was never a primary option based on them finishing

511
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: it so soon and the fact that Tannehill thought and

512
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: and and he did have enough leverage to get sixty

513
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: two million guaranteed. So that's the first two years of

514
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: the contract. In theory that Titans could get out of

515
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: it next year in a Nick Foles type way, but

516
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: it'd be so painful and so terrible that he would

517
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: have to be absolutely terrible for them to consider that.

518
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: And if he's on the team next year, the third

519
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: year is guaranteed. So it's basically a three year contract

520
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: that they were in on Tannehill and I am with West. Yeah,

521
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: it would have been risky. It's like everything is risky

522
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: at quarterback, but it would have been way more risky

523
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: to try to get Tom Brady or anyone else. I

524
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: think it's instructive that Mike Rabel, friend of Brady, former

525
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: teammate of Brady, John Robinson in ex Patriots front office lieutenant,

526
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: and a bunch of Patriots or ex Patriots on the

527
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: Titans roster did not create some sort of title wave

528
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: to pull Tom Brady to Tennessee. That they are the

529
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: team that knows the current version of Ryan Tannehill better

530
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: than anyone else in the NFL, and they made the decision,

531
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: and this was not made today based on Tom Brady

532
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: saying no to them. We heard this, you know a

533
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: lot of these like fresh reports from the last twenty

534
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: four hours that the Titans were in on Ryan Tannehill.

535
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: Ian had this a week plus ago. This has been

536
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: on our show already, and the Titans were married to

537
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: the idea of of bringing him back. And the one

538
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: thing that stands out to me what I saw about

539
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: Tannehill over and over it was just and I it

540
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: sounds almost like a cliche football phrase, but just throwing

541
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: his body into the fray, totally sacrificing himself for that

542
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: team week after week down the stretch. He fits the

543
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: mental and physical psychological makeup of the Titans, and why

544
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: break away with what they had going on? I I

545
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: have no problem with it. I don't like Tannehill anywhere else.

546
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: I would have liked him going to another team. But

547
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: I love them bringing him and Henry back, and that

548
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: they showed I thought, sort of a clarity of vision

549
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: from the start. You know what they wanted. It wasn't

550
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: really a Brady thing. That was more on Brady side

551
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: that Yeah, I think it was the right move. And

552
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: you know people that are surprised that's how the NFL works.

553
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: I just I finally caught up and saw the Mike

554
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: Vick thirty for thirty four hour saga, and it was

555
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: a good reminder. So Vic as an example, Um signs

556
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: a one million dollar deal after his rookie contract with

557
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Of course, then he runs into major trouble

558
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 1: at the law with the dog fight and goes to prison,

559
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: gets out of prison, signs with the Eagles, and then

560
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: once he gets a chance at the starting job, he

561
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: has one good season and based off that one good season,

562
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: he got a set get one hundred million dollar deal

563
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 1: in his career, not all guaranteed money, but it just

564
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: shows you that's how it works in the league. And

565
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: these guys that in our league, in this league, and

566
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: and the Titans saw enough to say, this is the

567
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: guy we believe in. And I'm with you guys. It

568
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: would have been and totally unnecessary risk in my mind

569
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: to bring in Tom Brady based on name value and

570
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: familiarity with the head coach. This was the right move.

571
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: And I'm looking forward to watching the Titans for the

572
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: first And and Ian did report Derrick Henry Is is

573
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: expected to get that franchise, Like he said, their long

574
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: term negotiations with Henry are basically non existent and and

575
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: Tannehill's money by the by the time he gets to

576
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: the third year of this contract, he's going to be

577
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: like the fifteenth or sixteenth or seventeenth highest paid quarterback.

578
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: The money won't seem that much. All the contracts are

579
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: about to go bananas because of because of the c

580
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: v A uh. In other Big Star news, the Jacksonville

581
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: Jaguars are trading Calias Campbell to the Baltimore Rave It's

582
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: an exchange for a fifth round pick. The Ravens. Uh

583
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: then quickly got to work on a new contract for Campbell,

584
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: according to rap Sheet, and they are close to finalizing

585
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: a two year, twenty seven million dollar deal that will

586
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: include twenty million guaranteed. Greg This seems to me like

587
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: your classic whin now moved by a team. Campbell is

588
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: getting older. He's thirty three years old, but he is

589
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: a proven contributor. He's still maybe maybe he's not at

590
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: the height of his powers anymore, but it's still a

591
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: disruptive guy. That is a great piece to add to

592
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: a defense that could use another disruptor on their front seven. Yeah,

593
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: if they had a weakness, it was in the front

594
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: seven and getting pass rush pressure and Campbell still does that.

595
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: He's turning thirty four, but you wouldn't you wouldn't know

596
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: it based on his play. His He's still been ranked

597
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: in the top five of PFF in terms of interior guys,

598
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: or if you put him as a three four defensive

599
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: And it's just the type of trade. We've all been

600
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: around each other too long. I just start thinking like

601
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: how Mark would have thought, and it just I just like,

602
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: the second this trade happened, I just imagined Mark being like, oh,

603
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: the raven you know, just like a Ravens. He's gonna

604
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: be said back in Baker Mayfield three times in week three.

605
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: Wait are you forgetting about Mark's headline from Super Bowl Week?

606
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: He's looking forward to the Ravens finally hoisting the Lombardi

607
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: for the first time in several years. Well, hold on,

608
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: So I my one note was winning the Super Bowl

609
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: they are going to and I just think that there, um,

610
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, we watched these teams that go from far

611
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: to Rogers and Montana too young at quarterback, and you

612
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: have Eric to Costa, who spent sixteen years under Ozzie

613
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: Newsome and is on a run right now to potentially

614
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: match what Ozzie Newsom did if he went another fourteen years,

615
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: because what they got, how did how they unearthed mark

616
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: Ingram and how they unearthed all these cast of characters

617
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years for the very little

618
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: cost in the low level of draft picks, and what

619
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: they do when they get four thousand compics of year.

620
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: They are the one of the best run teams in sports.

621
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: And this is another example, like he only certain teams

622
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: should even trade for him, and they're one of those teams.

623
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: He fits perfectly. He's one of the best locker room

624
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: guys in the league, a lot like mark Ingram. He's

625
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: a perfect raven And they're gonna go fourteen and two

626
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: and roll through the a f C. And next year,

627
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: I mean, why even play next season? I don't care

628
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: at a seventh playoff team, have a nice time. It's

629
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: seven and ten, you know, Detroit Lions or whatever you are.

630
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: Please January twenty Lamar Jackson among ten NFL figures. I

631
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: want to win a Super Bowl. Well you know, because

632
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: you know what, because you can't fight it. You can't

633
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: fight it if you are if you have to just

634
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: let the Earth energies take Lamar Jackson and the Ravens

635
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: where they are get flushed them through the system the

636
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: same way we did with Patrick Mahomes. And maybe at

637
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: some point one of these lesser you know, half baked

638
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 1: operation like your team or mine sneaks into this situation

639
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: will never happen. Why am I so you're doing this

640
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: show at this point? That would be the question. So

641
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: you've seeing that the Ravens had two fifth round picks, right,

642
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: they had their own fifth round pick which went from

643
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters, and then they had this fifth round pick

644
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: from the car a ved vict trade when they traded

645
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: their backup kicker to the right Campbell, Yeah, Vick, their

646
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: backup kicker who didn't make the team. He was traded

647
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 1: and then got cut and then signed with the Jets

648
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: and lost the Jets of game. That guy got them

649
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: Clais Campbell like, well, that guy in a million dollar contract,

650
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: Calais will have to have a good year because he's

651
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: gonna take up I think about fifteen million of their cap.

652
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: But this is a guy his numbers were down a

653
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: little bit, still one of the better I thought about

654
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: him as a finalist from my All Pro team. Um

655
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 1: probably at this stage more of a run guy than

656
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: a than a pass rusher. But he also was forced

657
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: to play quite a bit inside last year because they

658
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: wanted to get um Josh Allen on the field more often.

659
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: This is a super Bowl or bus season coming up

660
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. Uh wellmar Jackson entering the third year

661
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: of his rookie deal. He's now the reigning m v P.

662
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: There's going to be a massive contract coming down the

663
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 1: line for him if they're gonna win it. And statistically,

664
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: when you look at these guys, and it's why you

665
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: look at the Cowboys and you have to worry about

666
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: them a little bit. With Dak Prescott his contract coming up,

667
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: he kind of gotta win. You gotta cash in when

668
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: you have that window that Ravens have to cash in.

669
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: Interesting that like Leonard Fournette, I don't know if he

670
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: was on a radio show or doing something in the

671
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: same way we are with just headphones in front of

672
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: a a screen grab camera, but like he was calling

673
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: himself the Tim Duncan of the Jaguars because everyone is

674
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: coming and people were saying the analogy actually doesn't really work,

675
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: and I will leave it to you. He was just saying,

676
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: call me the Tim Duncan. It's like, wait, I mean,

677
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: if anyone was on essentially three years in a row

678
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: of like totally hot water scenario, it felt like Leonard Fournette.

679
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: But now he is be constant there. So would you

680
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: like me to pick that apart? Yeah? West, we could.

681
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: We could see if less for about an hour straight

682
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: on that one. Give me what Tim Duncan. First of all,

683
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: he and Popovitch were the infrastructure around which they had

684
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: two decades of excellence. Leonard four neck can't even average

685
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: four yards of care, give me a break. So Tim

686
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: Duncan is arguably the greatest power forward of all time.

687
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: He won what six titles? West, So Leonard Fournette would

688
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: have to be the greatest running back arguably of all time.

689
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,959
Speaker 1: He'd have to be Jim Brown level good, and he'd

690
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: have to have almost as many Super Bowl rings as

691
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady for that to play. I would say give

692
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: it a week, Leonard, you might not be on that

693
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: team anywhere. Had a tone for the entire organization and

694
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: not the one where you don't work out in the

695
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: off season. Uh. In other news, Anthony Costanzo, the Colts

696
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: left tackle, He has agreed to terms with his team

697
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: The team announced it on Sunday. Tom Pallisera reported the

698
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: deals with two years and thirty three million. UH. He

699
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 1: is thirty one years old. He becomes the highest paid

700
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: left tackle in the league for now. UH. And um Costanzo,

701
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: who is a guy who has been very, very steady

702
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: for the Colts. Uh. They decided to stay in business.

703
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: And remember this is despite a team that disappointed last year.

704
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: One of the best, if not the best offensive line

705
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: in football. They could turn around very quickly with a

706
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: good offseason. Had big win for them that they got

707
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: him to not retire. He was going to be a

708
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: free agent. He's someone where if he actually went to

709
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: free agency, he took a hometown discount. You don't hear

710
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: players taking hometown discounts too often, but like, there's no

711
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: question he would have made considerably more money if he

712
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: just decided to become a free agent. Yeah, he was

713
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: at the I'm playing for the Colts or nobody's stage

714
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: of his career and had one of his best years

715
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: last year. Struggles a little bit at times with the

716
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: faster ed rushers, but still, like you said, very solid

717
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: at left tackle. One of my news is I do

718
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: not trust teams that find a way to lose their

719
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: left tackle. If you're one of these teams, it's like, hey,

720
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 1: we can't hang on to our left tackle. We're gonna

721
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: go into a season with like, you know, Joe Flabek

722
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: playing Booken and you're screwed. Like I just you're you're

723
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: out of my wheelhouse. So the cults then let go

724
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: of me sworts. I guess that's right tackle basically. Yeah,

725
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: like exactly when you have Brett Beach saying and you

726
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: have Andy Reid saying, we had four Cleveland Browns playing

727
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: our on our offensive line last year. Oh excuse me.

728
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: That's a coaching staff that understands what the sport isn't

729
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: designed to do. I think it's possibly you can get

730
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: Greg Robinson back in a discount this offseton. Yeah, I

731
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: think so. Well, now that the marijuana laws have changed,

732
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 1: you know in the c b A, which we should

733
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: have mentioned, and other players staying with their teams. News

734
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: Patriots have resigned safety Devin mccordy to a two year,

735
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: three million dollar deal seventeen million guaranteed. He's been with

736
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: the team since two thousand ten, when he's picked overall

737
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: uh and he plays every week He's a rock on

738
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: that team. And now I will tee up Erica to

739
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: give her thoughts on the Devin mccorty resigning. She's clearly

740
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: not paying attention. Well, Katie is bringing me a new

741
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: glass of wine because this was supposed to be a

742
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: quick one and we've been going for so damn long.

743
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: But I'm excited. I think there's a lot of good

744
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good stuff coming out of the

745
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: Paths organization, Dan and the fact that they resigned the

746
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: mccorty twins and Slater like, there are some pieces that

747
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: we're geting in place, and that gives me some extra

748
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: news there. I love it. I love it. Tim Post

749
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: she she got the Jason mccorty. She and uh, you know,

750
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: there's maybe good news if you want Tom Brady back.

751
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: Chris Sims reported, uh today that and he has Kyle

752
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: Shanahan's initials tattooed somewhere on his body, So I feel

753
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: like he's a good source. This is a true story. Uh,

754
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: that they are not interested at all in Tom Brady.

755
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: So the Titans are out, forty Niners are out. It's

756
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 1: probably Bucks Pats and maybe, but I don't really think

757
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: the chargers, boxes, boxes too depressing. You got he has

758
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: to just go back. I will, I will, I will

759
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: give I will give a wet kiss and handshake to

760
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: every person in Los Angeles right now. If Tom Brady

761
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: signs with the Bucks, well no one wants that. No,

762
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: but you don't. How's that the pot? Bring that Colvina

763
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: nineteen my way? Um No, it is not Covina nineteen.

764
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: That is not the technical tournament. So in this situation,

765
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 1: Chris Simms is Rex Ryan and Kyle Shanahan is Mark

766
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: saying no, it was a group of them. I think.

767
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: I think Kyle Shanahan also has Kyle as Chris Sims

768
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: initials on him. It was like a group of five

769
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: or four or five bros that they all they all

770
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,440

00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 1: a good source. Mark. You should know that I could

772
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: actually see little green microbes floating behind you in your

773
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: motel room. Well that's fine. If this is the end,

774
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: you know, this has been a joy to do this

775
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: at Pacific standard time? Uh, anything else? Real quick, Let's

776
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: hit a few more things. Bradley Roby and the Texans

777
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: degree they do they do paper three years. Um, so Greg,

778
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: you wanted to talk about No, I was saying we're good,

779
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: But we're good the Texans they don't have anyone to

780
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: play cornerback. You gotta sign someone, I think, Ricky, what

781
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: is happening with your what is this the viral um? Yeah?

785
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: with someone even if you're alone. It's fun, you know,

786
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: it's it's I want to say that that intellectual property

787
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: I p might belong to me because I launched that

788
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: with the Love is Blind after show live texting party

789
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: that happened with us. So maybe I get a cut

790
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: on this if you end up monetizing it. Yeah, what

791
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: are you going to jump in on the next one

792
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: and not schedule a podcast? And well, what the film

793
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:23,600

00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't have any sound drops. Can you stop like

796
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: setting me up for them like I'm literally in a bunk? Yeah?

797
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: Shut up? Uh? Where he wants to do Little Women next?

798
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: So maybe Greg, that would make you interested. I love

799
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: the New Little Women? Is that out and being able

800
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: to watch at home at this point? Maybe it is?

801
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: It is? Can we can? We isolate Gregg saying I

802
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,919

Speaker 1: of all time I love. Dan suggests that he actually

804
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: came up with the concept of multiple people watching movies together.

805
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: This is fool property that this is. This started with

806
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: Dan Ricky. This is working out great for the virtual

807
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: virtual thing because now everyone who listens to the podcast

808
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: gotta know about it. I mean, based on the hashtag

809
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: it's only you and co working. Yeah, Colleen, Lakisha Sully,

810
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: it's it's a fun group. But you could be doing

811
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: it over text. We might have to steal so an

812
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: away from you. What else do you have on? Yes,

813
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: that's a good point. We should launch a competing movie

814
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: and just do a better movie. No, we go dirty?

815
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: I like that? How dirty? You gotta play through the

816
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: cheap seats take away? All right, let's do it um,

817
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: all right, let's do Roadhouse with Swazy. I feel like

818
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 1: that could get a good crowd. That's what are we doing.

819
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: We're doing podcasts every day this week. The crazy thing

820
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: is they'll be if if free agency really happens as normal,
