I 18 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: think I think I will say im after after it 19 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 2: said that was fun, A great job. Yeah, it was 20 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: a great job. 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: What was it? 22 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: Hold on? Hold on? Great. 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 3: You don't even remember exciting plays in sports off the 24 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 3: heels of the inside the park home run, walking off. Great, Yeah, 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: that we had on Tuesday night. What are the most 26 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: exciting plays in all of sports? 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: That's funny. That was not at all where I was 28 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: going with it. That was not in any way it 29 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 1: was where I was going with it. I mean, really, 30 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: I was going somewhere where trying trying to figure out 31 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: if I was thinking about travel for the summer, would 32 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: you rather do be a tourist, stay at hotels, maybe 33 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: move around hotels, or would you rather do the verbo 34 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: airbnb thing where then you just stayed a place for 35 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: a week and you become like a Greek citizen for 36 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: a week, which is more your style. But well, I 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: have to pocket that one for next week. For next week. Anyway, 38 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: we got a great show for you this just in 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: that you may that you may have heard Jalen Williams 40 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: signs an extension so the with the champion Oklahoma City Thunder. 41 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: So now the big three for the Thunder Thunder on 42 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: the hook for somewhere in the neighborhood of eight hundred 43 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars between three players over the next 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: however many years those max contracts, right, is that those 45 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: numbers are obscene, and you know, I the thunder, I'm sure, 46 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: I feel like this is what we have to do. 47 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: We have to keep these three guys and then all 48 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: the other ancillary parts. We do the best we can, 49 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: and if not, we'll use those draft picks to kind 50 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: of manipulate and get the best young players we can. 51 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: So those extensions I don't think going to effect for 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: another year, so they're still able to add some pieces 53 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: and do some cute math. But eventually you get to 54 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: the place where if any three of those players get hurt, 55 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: now you're where the where the Celtics are where you 56 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: got to think, okay, we can't really truly compete at 57 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: the top of the league that particular year. But let's 58 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: get to this kind of a weird story of the week. Ah, 59 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Pablo Torre and Mike Florio And again Pablo is he's 60 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: very smart. He went to Harvard just you know, like anybody. 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: If you want to know how he went to Harvard, wait, 62 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: they'll tell you, or they'll wear a Harvard sweatshirt. But 63 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: super bright guys. Mike is a lawyer, and so somehow 64 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: they got this information that there was an alleged a 65 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: collusion between owners and the commissioner to have occurred after 66 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson contract was signed and that trade was 67 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: agreed to, while no collusion was found and there was 68 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: no case against them, now it's been discovered there was 69 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: a secret agreement between the head of the players union 70 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: and Roger Goodell. And as you may have heard if 71 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: you were listening to Dan Byer and his update, there 72 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: is now a growing petition by NFL players to get 73 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: the head of the union to resign under pressure. I 74 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: think the problem with it is we don't know, like 75 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: so he's got to resign because there's collusion, but it 76 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: wasn't deemed to be collusion by UH by an investigation, 77 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: but it was boardline and borderline inappropriate. And so there 78 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: was some sort of agreement, secret agreement which is no 79 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: longer secret, which was in place, and because it was 80 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: kept secret from the players, then the union head muscow 81 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: right buyer. That's how I that's how I I read 82 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: this thing. You know again, My my thing is that 83 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: again a bit of a maa coopa with Pablo and 84 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: with Florio, because they've been all over this thing but 85 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: I also think that there's a world where any of 86 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: us who were in real time, in real time discussing 87 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson fully guaranteed contract, we all said, this 88 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: is a bad idea. Again, and I don't know the 89 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: wording of any of these texts that were sent or 90 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: any discussions that were had, but the reality is having 91 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: fully multi year, fully guaranteed contracts for NFL players would 92 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: be an absolute abject disaster. It's hard enough in the NBA, 93 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: consider that in football you just don't have that grade 94 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: of a window and you're literally one play away from 95 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: never having a career or walking again. It just it 96 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it's collusion to go, hey, guys, this 97 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: might not be the best idea to give a five year, guaranteed, 98 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: no cut contract to somebody who's accused of sexual assault 99 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: forty times plus and oh yeah, by the way, he 100 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: suffered two ACL injuries in his life, and now you know, 101 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: at the end of that contract they've had to redo 102 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: it because you can't get out of it. And he 103 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: suffered too Achilles tenantaries like this stuff and by the way, 104 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: not that good. So this is not be being pro 105 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: owner or pro player. I don't have it by head 106 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: in the sand. Again, it's just really hard to decipher, 107 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: like we're making a big deal and accusing the owners 108 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: and Goodell of collusion when it was reviewed and it 109 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: did not meet the pre preponderance of evidence that would 110 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: have taken to go to trial. So there is no 111 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: true collusion, even if there's some borderline stuff there and 112 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: they you know, they pushed their beliefs. Oh yeah, by 113 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: the way, in the time since that deal, while there 114 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: has and that wasn't the first ever fully guaranteed contract. 115 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins had a fully guaranteed contract. It was only 116 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: for three years, and that's what players are gonna end 117 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: up running into, right. There has to be a balance there, 118 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: and if if Pablo Torre and Mike Florio aren't willing 119 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: to admit that, there has to be lessons learned by 120 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: NFL teams from the disaster, which is the Deshaun Watson contract. 121 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: That is, anyone who will this is this reminds me 122 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: by the way of when uh Durell Revis was with 123 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: the Jets and ultimately got traded. I think you had 124 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and what happened was 125 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: the Jets were telling Durell Revis, we think you're the 126 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: best cornerback in the league. So he held out. He's like, fine, 127 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: I need to be paid like the best cornerback in 128 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: the league, like Namdi Osimoi namdas I made sixteen million 129 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: at the time, the next highest paid cornerback was twelve 130 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: million dollars per year. And my point then, which is 131 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: my point now, is you're gonna use that as an example, Hey, 132 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: you gotta pay me sixteen million. Well, it was a 133 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: terrible contract. Why would I mimic a terrible contract? And 134 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: if I'm an NFL owner, I would say the same 135 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: thing about Deshaun Watson. Why would I mimic one of 136 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: the worst, if not the worst contract in the history 137 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: of sports. Explain that to me, you wouldn't. And if 138 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell is reiterating like this is not good for business, 139 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: I don't know how you defend the Deshaun Watson contract. 140 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: I just do not. So I'm not pro owner, I'm 141 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: not anti player. And in the time since the Deshaun 142 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: Watson contract, the guarantees have continued to go up, the 143 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: money has continued to go up. And if there was 144 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: collusion they're doing a terrible job of it, terrible job 145 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: of buyer. Did I read these things incorrectly in terms 146 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: of we don't totally know, we don't know what Goodell 147 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: Or owners are alleged to have said, We only know 148 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: what they were accused of collusion, and it did not 149 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: read the threat did not meet the threshold for a 150 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: lawsuit going forward. Yet there is this clandestine meeting between 151 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: NFLBA and NFL that was agreed to, which's like, hey, 152 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: this is not a great look, let's not discuss it. 153 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: Here's some sort of agreement. 154 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Doug I had to step away just because 155 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 3: of the Jalen Williams news, so I didn't hear your 156 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: whole piece about it. I feel that the Players Association, 157 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 3: in the group of players are up in arms one 158 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 3: hundred times more than probably anybody else should be in 159 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 3: terms of or anybody else is in wondering why was 160 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 3: this hidden? Why do the owners collude? And then now 161 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 3: why is their executive director of other ties to other places? 162 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 3: I think everybody health actually probably would fall in line 163 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 3: with the owners not saying that players shouldn't make as 164 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: much as they want, but that do we really want 165 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 3: teams to be giving fully guaranteed contracts that could you know, 166 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 3: handcuff them in future years if it doesn't work out 167 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 3: like it did with the Cleveland Browns. And so I 168 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 3: think that I think that the players have every right 169 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 3: to be mad. I just don't know if there's going 170 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 3: to be enough people to support what the players did 171 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 3: or what the players are mad about. Considering it did 172 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 3: seem that the owners did collude, but I think that 173 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 3: colluding on that certain topic is probably best overall for 174 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: the league. 175 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. Again, there's a there's a 176 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: a a gray area between outright collusion, okay, and discussing 177 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: what's smart business. Right, Yes, there's a gray area, and 178 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: I feel like this has to have fallen into that 179 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: gray area, which is really the which is why there 180 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: was no lawsuit. So again, if I'm wrong, and if 181 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: we read the text and it's like, hey, by all means, 182 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: don't give them guaranteed contracts, suppress there. But if that 183 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: wording was in there, there would be a lawsuit. There's not, 184 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: you know. 185 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I also think that, and I am 186 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 3: not as well versed, so this is just an amateur guess, 187 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: but I would also think that the reason why the 188 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 3: NFLPA didn't go public with this is because they thought 189 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: maybe down the road that if he did have guaranteed contracts, 190 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 3: it would hurt a portion of their union, maybe not 191 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 3: the top end guys. And it's kind of what makes 192 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 3: the NFL it is, what makes the NF union so weak, 193 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 3: is that there's such a disparity between the top end 194 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 3: guys and everybody else. 195 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, they call those guys, they call everybody else the 196 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: rank and file, Yes, right, So the rank and file 197 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: needs to collect checks for as long as they can 198 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: collect checks for because their checks are not what the 199 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are, the wide receivers are, the defensive ends are. 200 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: You know, the guys we talk about are the guys 201 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna make so much money that yeah, maybe they 202 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: make a couple million dollars less, but it's not gonna 203 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: affect them. The guys we don't talk about the offense 204 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: of the other you know, the backup tackles, you know, 205 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: the the backup running backs, the fifth wide receiver, the 206 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: nickel corner, like those are the guys that are just 207 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: as important to the union. Any union is like that, right, 208 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: That's that's the part that people don't realize about unions. 209 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: Unions have to think of the rank and file first, 210 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: operating on the idea that whoever's at the very top 211 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: of the food chain, they're good. And if you're gonna 212 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: sacrifice anything, sacrifice that because it's just a numbers game, right, 213 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: This is a numbers game. 214 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 3: If you're paying the top end guys, it seems like, okay, great, 215 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 3: but someone ends up having to take a hit on 216 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: the other end. And I believe in the most recent 217 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 3: CBA a lot of middle guys who could spend six 218 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 3: or seven years in the league are gone because it's 219 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: just easier to go with the twenty two to twenty 220 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: three year old rookie at that price. So I think 221 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: as the union, that would be my guess on why 222 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: it was kept quiet. And while yeah, the owners did this, 223 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 3: but if you started to allow guaranteed contracts for everybody, 224 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 3: then maybe you're pricing out a portion of your union. 225 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: Stuck out lip show here on Fox Sports, just a guess. 226 00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: That's again, And my guess is that it's in that 227 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: gray area of what's good business what's not good business 228 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: for all of us. Let's look at the Deshaun Watson thing. Yeah, 229 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: as bad business, bad for business, and we probably shouldn't 230 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: do that again. 231 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 3: I think it would have been easy for those teams, 232 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,119 Speaker 3: Kyler Murray and the Cardinals, or easy for those agents 233 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 3: to ask for what Deshaun Watson got considering everything that, 234 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: all the baggage that came with him, and then it's 235 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 3: difficult to negotiate off of that. And Kyler Murray maybe 236 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 3: would have warranted it, maybe he would have been worthy 237 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 3: of it. And while it sucks for Kyler Murray, I 238 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 3: think there is a domino effect that it isn't good 239 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 3: for the National Football League and it isn't necessarily good 240 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 3: for fans. That's why I feel kind of the players 241 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: are a bit out on an island and all of 242 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 3: this as well, because I think parody is one of 243 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: the things that drives the NFL and now the ability 244 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 3: to turn things around quickly. And if you're saddled by 245 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 3: bad contracts because you have stupid owners, I don't know 246 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: if that's good for or the overall portion of the league. 247 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: Well. I also think you mentioned parody. I don't know 248 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: if it's as much about parody as much as I 249 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: do think that even though it's more perception than reality 250 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: in terms of players playing for their checks and not 251 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: being guaranteed money. Reality is NFL players are guaranteed a 252 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: substantial sum of their salary substantial sum, but the perception 253 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: is they're not, which I think makes them somebody that 254 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: we want to cheer for as as fans as well. Hey, 255 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: whereas NBA players they are fully guaranteed contracts, there's a 256 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: perception there of they don't have to play hard because 257 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: they're still getting paid anyway. So I do think that 258 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: there's some added other benefits to having the perception nodding 259 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: up with the reality in terms of guaranteed contracts. 260 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 4: This is the best of the Done Dot Lead Show, 261 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. 262 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: What I want you to do?

I'd like each participant on this show to 288 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: think of what you were doing in the year nineteen 289 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: ninety nine, because on this day, the sports world changed forever. 290 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: We were told that it was going to change forever, 291 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: and in indeed, twenty six later, we are still feeling 292 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 2: the effects of it.

There 295 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: was so much interest, It is so profitable, it's off 296 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: the charts. Congratulations to Brandy Chastain for being the person 297 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 2: to deliver that to us. The Women's World Cup soccer 298 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 2: team wins on this date twenty six years ago. Dan Byro, 299 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 2: when you think of nineteen ninety nine, what goes through 300 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 2: your mind? 301 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 3: You're a graduated college fellas in the spring of nineteen nineteen. 302 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 2: Oh wow, you're a spring chicken man. 303 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, nineteen ninety nine. We have the Open Championship 304 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 3: next week. Nineteen ninety nine may have been the pinnacle 305 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 3: of golf. You would have a tough time arguing you 306 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: had a better golf year than nineteen nine ninety nine 307 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 3: that unfortunately ended in tragedy with the passing of Payne 308 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 3: Stewart in that plane crash. However, prior to that, Paine 309 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 3: Stewart made such great headlines with the win at the 310 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 3: US Open in nineteen ninety nine at Pinehurst number two, 311 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 3: avenging what happened the year before at the Olympic Club. 312 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: It was for Stewart his second US Open Championship and 313 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 3: for the runner up there was Phil Mickelson. Remember Phil 314 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: was ready to leave the course in case his wife 315 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 3: went into labor with their first child. She ended up 316 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 3: Amy I believe, gave birth the next day to their 317 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 3: first child. But so many of us remember the late 318 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 3: great Paint Stewart winning at Pinehurst number two. But it 319 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 3: was also the year that Van Derveld blew the lead 320 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 3: at Carnousti at the Open Championship, which I would love 321 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 3: to talk about, but time permitting, I know we can't. 322 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 3: Tiger got back on the major train, winning the PGA 323 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,239 Speaker 3: Championship at Medina, which was kind of the arrival of 324 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 3: Sergio Garcia, and then the Ryder Cup nineteen ninety nine. 325 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,239 Speaker 3: Ben Crenshaw, he had a feeling about that on that 326 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 3: Saturday night, justin Leonard's pott the whole deal as the 327 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 3: US came back and beat Europe at the country Club 328 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 3: of Brookline.

So uh, 387 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: nineteen nine nine movies Star Wars Episode one, The Phantom Menace, 388 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: despite the fact that had Jar Jar Binks and a 389 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: bunch of CGI, it made four hundred and thirty million 390 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: dollars ross. Number two was the sixth sense I see 391 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: that people. Number three was Austin Powers, the spy who 392 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: shagged me.

That was Toy Story three, 395 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: and number five was yeah maybe the matrix was five. 396 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: The matrix. 397 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 5: The matrix the best stat of all those. 398 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 2: Listen. I think the matrix came out in ninety eight, 399 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: right that it being five. 400 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 5: Was like the un in the second year. 401 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 2: The uh Christina's Teenager, my super hot girlfriend, Christina's teenager, 402 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 2: we were able to want to let him watch uh 403 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 2: the was it sixth Sense? For the first time. I 404 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 2: got a person's like unfiltered first time reaction to the 405 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 2: end of a sixth Sense. Which it's an amazing movie, 406 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 2: but it's not a great rewatch because the greatest part 407 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 2: of the movie is the reveal at the end, and 408 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: I got to watch him react to it, and that 409 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: was wonderful. It makes sense that the episode one of 410 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 2: Star Wars was the largest grossing despite all of its 411 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 2: uh all of itations, because everyone didn't know the limitations 412 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 2: when they paid to see it. 413 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, which just I'm sure the DVD sales are still big, right, 414 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: but yes, jar Jar Binks threatened to cancel the entire series, 415 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,719 Speaker 1: only was unable to to do that. 416 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 5: I remember being very, very excited for The Phantom Menace 417 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 5: and I remember being like, I liked it, but it wasn't. 418 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: It didn't blow me away. 419 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 5: I think maybe it was before that or a few 420 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 5: years after that did they did the original three re 421 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 5: releases where like they buffed up the graphics and added 422 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 5: like some new scenes. 423 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 2: I just watched a New Hope the other day with 424 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 2: those those kind of modern or more recent graphics, and 425 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 2: it's cringey. 426 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 5: You prefer like the old old, Like you can see 427 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 5: the lines passing through stuff. Joba the Hut is in 428 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 5: a scene and he steps over in and it's laughable. 429 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 2: It's very blurry. He goes on on my bookie, had 430 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: my bookie. Yeah, it's kind of weird. So as as 431 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,719 Speaker 2: George Lucas was making an episode one and releasing it, 432 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 2: I saw him do an interview with sixty Minutes and 433 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: they said, what are you listening to nowadays? Like, what's 434 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 2: what's on your discmand surprise to hear the answer. It 435 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 2: went in something like this, Wow, George Lucas, this is 436 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: Britney Spears her first hit, hit Me Baby, and it 437 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 2: launched a career that still goes today. I think she's 438 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 2: still doing a Vegas residency. But the I guess the 439 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 2: the singer songwriter that will always kind of match with 440 00:26:52,640 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: Britney Spears did this song the same year. Yeah, yeah, 441 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 2: get it now. I was a Christina guy over Brittany. Interesting. 442 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, she was way more talented Damns. Yes, Danby's are 443 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 5: kind of resident nineties pop expert on the show. Yes, 444 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 5: when you look back twenty six years of what has 445 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 5: happened to each of these artists, how do you kind 446 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 5: of summarize things? Who came out ahead, what impact? 447 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 3: Well, I will say at the time, like there was 448 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 3: as far as great as Christina Aguilera was at the time, 449 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: nothing was bigger than Britney Spears and that song and 450 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 3: what it what it did. Ultimately, I would say, because 451 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 3: of the tough road that Britney drove for the last 452 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 3: what ten fifteen years whatever it's been, Christina actually would 453 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 3: probably come out. But I just I don't think that 454 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 3: there was ever a point where Christina Aguilera was bigger 455 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 3: than Britney Spears was at that point. 456 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 5: So it was Britney Spears, Coke, and Christina Laria was 457 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 5: like Arci Cola. 458 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 3: I would say that that, Well, it's funny because Britney 459 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 3: was a Pepsi sponsor. But but if you wanted to 460 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 3: say that Coke was number one, I think it's very 461 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 3: fair to say that Christine the Aguilera was number two. 462 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 3: Then you have Jessica Simpson, others, Mandy Moore came along 463 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 3: at that time. She's now an actress. But yeah, yes, 464 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 3: Chris good parenthood. 465 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 5: She's been on the Voice. Christina Aguilera, she was on 466 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 5: the Voice, and yeah, she had some great pipes, just great. 467 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 2: She did really good. Really really can say so. 468 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: She could really sing. Uh Where's We kind of talked 469 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: about this when I hosted Coward yesterday, which is like 470 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: the Cantlin Clark is she best played in the w NBA. No, 471 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: but she's the most popular player in the w n 472 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: B A right, Christina Aguila is a better singer, better 473 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: singer than Britney Spears, not close, but Britney Spears was 474 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: more popular. 475 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: What you're saying is Christina Aguilera is the Brianna Stewart 476 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 2: to uh Hatel and Car. 477 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say she's the Page Beckers maybe or 478 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: the Sabrinette Escu. Yeah, that's fair because Brianna Stewart is 479 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: an earlier generation, so she'd be more Not Madonna's not 480 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: that that's like Cynthia Cooper's like Madonna, right, but nobody 481 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: actually cared, so not really Madonna. 482 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 3: How about this? Yeah, how about taking a twelve year 483 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 3: old that loves the NFL right now, sitting them down 484 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 3: and saying, you know, in nineteen ninety nine, that was 485 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 3: the era when the Jaguars and Titans ruled the NFL, 486 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 3: because it was at that time, at least in the 487 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 3: AFC the Jaguars fourteen and two, Titans thirteen and three. 488 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 3: You would also say to that twelve year old, can 489 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: you believe the Dolphins actually made the playoffs that year 490 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 3: and they won a game and they beat the Seahawks, 491 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 3: because that also happened in the nineteen ninety nine NFL season. 492 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 3: It was Dan Marino's last victory as a quarterback, Doug, 493 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 3: you talk about the loss that the it took the 494 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 3: next week against the Jaguars, but Marino and the Dolphins 495 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 3: went to Seattle topped the Seahawks in an AFC wild 496 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 3: card matchup, but the Seahawks won the AFC West that year. 497 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 3: Jacksonville and Tennessee were tops in the AFC, but they 498 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 3: were both in the AFC Central. The Colts were the 499 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 3: division winner in the AFC East at thirteen and three. 500 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 2: Peyton Mann in second year. 501 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: Yes, first first year won three, second year lost three. 502 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 5: He finally got some traction. 503 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 2: You know, well, they drafted Edgrin James. That was a 504 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 2: big help and Marvin Edge. 505 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 5: How long was Dan Marino was in the NFL? From 506 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 5: what eighty three to ninety nine? He was in the NFL? 507 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 5: Long time?

Uh, and then some just money, money, money, money, money. 560 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: The fact is, if you actually listen to many of 561 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: the things he says, whether they apply to Colorado or not, 562 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: it's about what we college coaches call the right things. 563 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: You know, guys have to earn things. Guys should stay 564 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: at their schools, a degree has a value to them, 565 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: and yeah, they should make some money. But like, let's 566 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: not go crazy here. A lot of these guys are 567 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: getting paid for something we hope they can do and 568 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: it's not true. Nil. Here's Dion talking about nil in 569 00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:58,959 Speaker 1: college football. 570 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,959 Speaker 6: I wish it was a cap, you know, like the 571 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 6: top of the line player makes this, and if you're 572 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 6: not that type of guy, you know you're not gonna 573 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 6: make that. 574 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 2: That's what the NFL does. 575 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 6: So the problem is you got a guy that's not 576 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 6: that durn good, but he could go to another school 577 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 6: and they give him a half a million dollars and 578 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 6: you can't you can't compete with that. That don't make sense. Say, 579 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 6: all you have to do is look at the playoffs 580 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 6: and see what those teams spent. And you understand, during 581 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 6: the white end the playoffs, it's kind of hard to 582 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 6: compete with somebody who's giving twenty five thirty million dollars 583 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 6: of during freshman class. Right, It's crazy. The teams that 584 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 6: pays the more, pays the most is gonna be then it. 585 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: I mean, he's right, you know, it's like, well, no, no, 586 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: he's right. I mean even Indiana, who I didn't think 587 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: should have been in the collegeball playoff, they spent a 588 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: ton of money in order to get there in terms 589 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: of their personnel. The new agreement is supposed to have 590 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: a cap on spending twenty two million dollar and you know, 591 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: I think thirteen of its supposed to go to college 592 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,439 Speaker 1: to football. But you can also add in nil, which 593 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: is sometimes real sometimes not anil. In college basketball, I 594 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 1: got all but three picks right, and I picked every 595 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: game based upon who's spent the most money. That's it. 596 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: So it is really the haves and the have nots. 597 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: And the part he didn't discuss is that the other 598 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: real world discussion that isn't at is, Hey, you do 599 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 1: realize that a lot of schools were going to lose 600 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: some Olympic sports because if you want to compete in 601 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: the revenue generating sports, that money is not You're not 602 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: making tons of profit at MAX schools, not making tons 603 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: of profit at all these other schools of football. You're 604 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: not making a huge money if you don't have football, 605 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: you're still trying to pay to play in basketball, women's basketball, 606 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: and potentially football. That means you're not going to be 607 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: able to fully fund properly Olympic sports. But he's just 608 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: talking about competitive balance, says it's lacking because there's no cap. 609 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: John Mitlcoff joints just three and outs to the podcast. 610 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: He spent some time in Fresno State in college football 611 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: before moving on to the NFL, before moving on to 612 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: becoming a star podcaster. What do you think of what 613 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:17,479 Speaker 1: Dion said? 614 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 7: Well? I followed that a lot of the comments pretty closely. 615 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 7: Kenny Dillingham had some too. You know Texas Tech and 616 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 7: you know you're a got some big twelve roots. They 617 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 7: have that oil guy that's former players. They have spent 618 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 7: big time money, and Dillingham was saying yesterday like, guys, 619 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 7: be ready, this team is gonna be really, really good. 620 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 7: And essentially what he's saying is like they broke the 621 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 7: bank this offseason when it came to football. They had 622 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 7: arguably the best transfer portal class. You know, you're in 623 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 7: it now, and I know it's different than like you know, 624 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 7: Ohio State, Michigan and Alabama like recruiting and stuff football wise, 625 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 7: but whenever I see like this guy's a great recruiter, 626 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,320 Speaker 7: I think that used to really matter, like ed Ojeron 627 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 7: or Tosh or some of these guys in football, especially 628 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 7: like when I was in high school or in college 629 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 7: in the two thousands, There is no such thing as 630 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 7: a great recruiter anymore. Like are you paying the most money? 631 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 7: And like you said, even when the cap comes, like 632 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 7: in the NFL, if I'm giving whoever an extension TJ. 633 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 7: Watt or Travis Kelcey or obviously the quarterbacks, the whatever 634 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 7: they're going to make State Farm or Chevy, that has 635 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 7: nothing to do with anything with the team. Where if 636 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 7: Kirby Smart goes, well, hey what even once this gap comes, 637 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 7: I can pay you let's just take a number five 638 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 7: hundred thousand dollars with the cap, but I can also 639 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 7: get you half a million dollars in nil, Like he's 640 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 7: part of that. Like the other schools don't have that 641 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 7: capabilia Ohio State. I mean, there's a group of fifteen 642 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 7: twenty that it's only going to continue to separate. Now, 643 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 7: you could argue, you know, in college football, college basketball 644 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 7: could be a little random, right because of the tournament. 645 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 7: Where in football, on the aggregate of the season, typically 646 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 7: the same teams year and year out, give or take, 647 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 7: are competing, that that's only going to continue to separate. 648 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 7: But now it's so conference aligned because of the SEC 649 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 7: money and the Big ten TV money, the advantages they have, 650 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 7: They've always had advantages. Now it's only separated. Why Texas 651 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 7: Tech can even you know, dream of competing is because 652 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 7: they have I don't know their version. It's not quite 653 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 7: it's not apples apples, but like a Phil Knight or 654 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 7: you at Oklahoma State, like you have to have a 655 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 7: special individual with huge money to even be in the 656 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,320 Speaker 7: conversation or else you really got no shot. 657 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: I completely agree. And recruiting, recruiting does matter. Recruiting does matter. Okay, 658 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: you still have to connect with the kid. You have 659 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: to paint for them a vision. You're not always they're 660 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 1: not always going not all of them go to where 661 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: the top dollar is. You know. I think again, high 662 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 1: level football, I major ball, High major basketball a little 663 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: different than what we're doing. But you still are recruiting, 664 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: and some of it is you got to recruit at 665 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: our level, Recruit guys you're not gonna get, you know, Like, 666 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: I'll just be honest with you, John, I'm recruiting the 667 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: top twenty kids the class of twenty twenty six in 668 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: the state of Wisconsin. I'm recruiting all twenty top the 669 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: ones I've evaluated is the top twenty. I'm recruiting all 670 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: of them. There's only one that I've offered a scholarship to, 671 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: and I think he's a little bit above our level, 672 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: but I think this would be a level where he 673 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: can come in and play initially. And then I'm only 674 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: going to say I told him. I gave him till 675 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: the end of the July cycle. We offered him like 676 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: almost a year ago, and then after that, and now 677 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: I'll start offering because he's the guy I want to 678 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 1: build around. Like the recruiting class anyway. Point is, I 679 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: know I'm not gonna get all of them. I'm not 680 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 1: going to offer all of them, but I want them 681 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: to get to know me, and I want to get 682 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,240 Speaker 1: to know them that way in a year, in two years, 683 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: in three years, when they hit the transfer portal, which 684 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,720 Speaker 1: many of the high percentage of are, then there's already 685 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: a relationship there, and I already know if I want him, 686 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: if I don't want him, he already knows if he 687 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,439 Speaker 1: likes me or doesn't like me. So it does. 688 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 7: And that was a big advantage for UCLA a couple 689 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 7: of years ago when Chip the two years ago they 690 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 7: had a really solid defense. A lot of those guys 691 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 7: had transferred. They were from la you know, from Michigan 692 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 7: or whatever. It came home. So I totally understand what 693 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 7: you're talking. That's where you're right recruiting. But that's different, right, 694 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 7: You're like recruiting for their second recruiting cycle. You know, 695 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 7: it's just a different world. 696 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: It's a it's a totally different world. Let's get to 697 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: some of Let's get to the the collusion thing. Okay, 698 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: we don't know the details of it, and I do 699 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: know that because you got Florio, who is a lawyer. Uh, 700 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,240 Speaker 1: and you have Pablo, who is you know, a Harvard dude, 701 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: brilliant like a lawyer that you know there's something there, 702 00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: But there's a there's a fine line between hey, hey, 703 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: this is not good business to give to Shaun Watson 704 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 1: a five year guaranteed contract in this sport especially and 705 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: outright collusion, which is suppressing wages and elimiting the guarantees. 706 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: What do you think really happened between the union and 707 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: the owners after Deshaun Watson signed his deal? 708 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean to me, I read a couple of headlines. 709 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 7: I'm like, I don't really see anyone. To me, collusion 710 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 7: typically is someone getting royally screwed, and I didn't really 711 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 7: see anyone getting royally screwed here. The other thing is 712 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 7: like Tyler Murray, well, you know, one of those texts 713 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 7: was like a good job, Michael on signing that deal. Well, 714 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 7: Kyler didn't have to sign the deal, right, no one 715 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 7: was forcing him. It was after his third year. He 716 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 7: could have played it out again, like no one's forcing 717 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 7: any of these people to sign deals. And the other thing, 718 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 7: when it comes, you know, specifically out of the conversation, 719 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 7: was around the quarterbacks. How often new quarterbacks not see 720 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 7: like the majority of their contract. It's it's very very rare. 721 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: That, you know. 722 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 7: Russell Wilson is an example of like got cut way short. 723 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 7: Now guaranteed money was so high. He still got a 724 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 7: ton of money, But like did Tyler get screwed? Last 725 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 7: time I checked, He's made like a couple hundred million 726 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 7: dollars the last three four years. So it's like, I 727 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,319 Speaker 7: see everyone getting rich in this business model, and you've 728 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 7: been through way more negotiations in your life than me. 729 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 7: I mean, isn't when I read some of these conversations, 730 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 7: Like my first talk was, you know, my dad was 731 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,320 Speaker 7: a farmer for a long time. Dealt with banks is 732 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 7: not just called business like I mean, I just it'd 733 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 7: be one thing if the wages or something hadn't gone 734 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 7: dramatically up. But from my advantage point, it feels like 735 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 7: everyone I would say that there's not a business in 736 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 7: the history of America that's created more millionaires when coaches, players, obviously, owners, 737 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 7: people involved, help people on the outside, media members when 738 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 7: it comes to football, and business continues to just roll. 739 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 7: So I to me, it was it was more of like, yeah, 740 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 7: this is means nothing. I didn't do anything for me. 741 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 7: But again, I'm not those stories. 742 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,279 Speaker 1: I I I totally, I totally agree that it's like 743 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: we're chasing something like, oh, yeah, they're the bad guys. 744 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: Like yeah, I again, if you remember when Kyler Murray 745 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 1: signed the new deal, you know it was after Kyler 746 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: Murray had been accused of playing call of duty too much? Right, 747 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 1: is this a guy we really want? And oh yeah? 748 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,359 Speaker 1: But it was also if you remember coming off an 749 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: injury too, an't he Uh. 750 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 7: No, I think he got injured the next year or 751 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 7: maybe he did. I can't even remember, but it was 752 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 7: after a third year, like the first time you can 753 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:38,959 Speaker 7: negotiate with a with the with the first rounders. Yeah, 754 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 7: and like they didn't have to do that like other quarterbacks. 755 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,839 Speaker 7: Hel Lamar didn't get a contract then. But the other 756 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 7: thing is we actually kind of murder was the number 757 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 7: one overall pick. He had already signed like a forty 758 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 7: million dollar contract, then he got another two hundred plus 759 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 7: million dollar contract. I just don't think anyone on the outside, 760 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 7: mainly the consumer who usually drives a lot of these, 761 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,280 Speaker 7: like if they're all into this, it's like, well, who's 762 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 7: who's really getting screwed here, and I think most of 763 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 7: us come to the conclusion that nobody really yeah. 764 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the Doug Outlive Show, it is Fox 765 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:15,879 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Dallas Cowboys, Michaeh Parsons. You know it does 766 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: feel like you know he's playing on the fifth year option. 767 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: What I mean, we all it's funny. Most people think 768 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 1: he'll be a free agent at the end of the year. 769 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: He won't. They can franchise tag him. Jerry, of course, 770 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 1: could have signed him last offseason, did not. Says he'd 771 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: rather wait and pay more than pay too much to 772 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: a guy he doesn't want. Where do you think we 773 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 1: are with Parsons and the Cowboys? 774 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,399 Speaker 7: To me, that's super far about waiting and to pay more. 775 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 7: It's like seedy Lamb and Michael Parsons. Jerry, where your 776 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 7: draft picks. You've been around these guys every day for 777 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 7: whatever five years. I mean, what's for you waiting? You've 778 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 7: seen them their entire career on and off the field. 779 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 7: You've been around them all the time. So it's like 780 00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 7: kind of know what he is. I mean, Micah is 781 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 7: like thread making the bank for one of them over 782 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,240 Speaker 7: with you. We would trade him like the TJ Watt 783 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 7: hendrickson those older players, that's just like complicated negotiation business. 784 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 7: The micro thing is pretty simple, Like the number is 785 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 7: kind of his number, you know, give or take. Maybe 786 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,399 Speaker 7: a couple million you can argue over. But like, why 787 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,839 Speaker 7: you know Micah Parson's gonna show up for training camp. 788 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 7: I know he played good copter and the off season, 789 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 7: the spring ball, but recent history would say, guys in 790 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 7: his shoes, you know, kind of make it difficult, you know, 791 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 7: Nick Bosa, We've just seen other guys. Now we see 792 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 7: a lot of teams just sign the contract. I would say, 793 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 7: give or take sometime between you know, post draft to 794 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 7: right around the next couple of weeks so they don't 795 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,359 Speaker 7: have to deal with this drama. I think Jerry has 796 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 7: a pretty clear history of like I'm just gonna sign 797 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 7: him like August twenty eight, you know, last possible second. 798 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 7: So that would be my expectation. 799 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he does, and it ends up give 800 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 1: than the guys a chance to take some time off 801 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: of training camp. 802 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 7: I think I think the TJ. Watt things a little 803 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 7: more complicated. You know, these older guys, they have a 804 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 7: lot of wear and hair on them, but they're really 805 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 7: important and excellent players, Henderson TJ. Watt. You know, it's 806 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,320 Speaker 7: in fairness to them. It's like they see the amount 807 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 7: of money other their quote unquote peers are getting and 808 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 7: it's like, well, if I were to shattered my leg, 809 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 7: and these negotiations are hard, Like I understand both sides, 810 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 7: and I don't think there's an easy answer to it. 811 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 7: It's like if you just break here TJ. Watt, here's 812 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,839 Speaker 7: another one hundred million dollars guaranteed, or we just kind 813 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,879 Speaker 7: of play, you know, a staring contest, you know, because 814 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 7: I think Steelers probably all have to give him, like 815 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,759 Speaker 7: a fifty million dollar a little bonus he probably wants, 816 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 7: like what Max Crosby and Miles Garrett just got. But 817 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 7: the problem is he goes, I know you need me 818 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 7: because you guys are all in on this season. That 819 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,320 Speaker 7: situation just feels a little just weird, you know what 820 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 7: I mean. The Steelers have always felt a little even 821 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 7: when they quote unquote not been at the same level 822 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 7: last four or five years, like he kind of had 823 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 7: an idea. But now these last couple of years bringing 824 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,360 Speaker 7: in Russell Wilson, this situation feet a little of Steeler 825 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,799 Speaker 7: like for the first time of the Talblin era. 826 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 1: I totally agree. What do you make of Kirk Cousins, Like, yeah, hey, 827 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: if I know they're going to drive the quarterback, I 828 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 1: would have stayed in Minnesota. 829 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 7: I think the easy person to say that, Remember it 830 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 7: was again, I think we're playing like Monday Morning quarterback 831 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,880 Speaker 7: of what really could have happened here because I think 832 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,319 Speaker 7: Kevin O'Connell liked him, wanted them, but I think the 833 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 7: organization was kind of ready to move on. 834 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 1: Remember he had he had a torn achilles tendon, right, 835 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: and yes, yes they offered him a deal, but it 836 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,840 Speaker 1: wasn't close to the deal that Atlanta offered him. 837 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 7: Right, And it wasn't. Wasn't it more like, I mean 838 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 7: a one yearish like forty fifty You know, they gave 839 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,359 Speaker 7: him essentially ninety million dollars. Yeah, I guarantee I think 840 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 7: anyone was even coming close to that, even if you 841 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 7: take away minnesot To, I don't think he had that 842 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 7: many options. Yeah, so I think it's easy for him 843 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,320 Speaker 7: to say, I don't waive them. They offered him ninety million. Honestly, 844 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 7: it's a reflection of the organization when they gave him 845 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,560 Speaker 7: that money. They didn't realize because they had new coaching staff, 846 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 7: they hadn't fallen in love with Michael Pennix. So they 847 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,319 Speaker 7: signed them in the middle of March, and then they 848 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 7: start doing their private workouts meeting with Penix, and they 849 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 7: fall in love with the guy. So, if anything, is 850 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 7: more of a reflection of the herky jerky nature of 851 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 7: the Atlanta for An office because they knew they were 852 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 7: drafting Pennix. Let's let's be real, they would have given 853 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 7: like ten million dollars to UH for like a flat 854 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 7: okase keenum. I got just a high level back up, 855 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 7: impressive guy that got to help the young guy, and 856 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 7: it'll probably even end up being the backup. 857 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 1: What we want, which by which, by the which, by 858 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 1: the way, is what the Vikings did, right, exactly the Vikings. 859 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 1: The Vikings went and they're like, hey, we're gonna go 860 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,719 Speaker 1: cheap and we're gonna draft a guy, which is what 861 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: the Vikings would do. The other part to it is this, 862 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 1: and I was thinking about this that Cousins complained about this. 863 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,319 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins has mastered the business side of this thing, 864 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: the business right, So forgive the Falcons for treating it 865 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,799 Speaker 1: like it's a business right, like he wants all kinds 866 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 1: of feelings like old on, dude, you know you were 867 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 1: all about business, three year guaranteed contract when you're with 868 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 1: the Vikings. Then they re up to you, Hey, it's business, 869 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: it's not personal. And then you go to Atlanta because 870 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,400 Speaker 1: of business. Then they treat you like it's business, and 871 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 1: now you're bothered because it's not personal. 872 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 7: I also think anyone in Cousin Hughes torn Achilles, regardless 873 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 7: of that, he'd already made like whatever, two hundred and 874 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 7: eighty three hundred million dollars in issues torn Achilles. Older player, 875 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,360 Speaker 7: this team that's kind of desperate, but they kind of 876 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 7: got some interesting weapons. They got like a Shanahan disciple 877 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,280 Speaker 7: McVeigh disciple running the offense, so you know what you're doing. 878 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 7: It was actually made kind of sense, Like I don't 879 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 7: blame him for taking the contract, but like all of 880 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 7: a sudden, they you know, like they got married and 881 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 7: then a month and they're like, we're in an open relationship. 882 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 7: He's like, what did I sign up for? But at 883 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,320 Speaker 7: the time, it's like you were in love, so it's 884 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 7: I think it's easy. He was rattled by it. But 885 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 7: this is also what happens when you bounce around teams, 886 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 7: you know, the the equity just falls off a clip. 887 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,279 Speaker 7: I mean Peyton Manning was now granted his arm wasn't 888 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,279 Speaker 7: really working. John Alway called him into his office and said, like, hey, 889 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 7: Peyton were giving me a backup for a minute. Remember 890 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 7: that like this football, I mean, it's kind of cut 891 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 7: throat at times. And I think Cousins for the first 892 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,279 Speaker 7: time truly in his career where he was like the 893 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 7: starter got I guess, a little bit of a humble pie. 894 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 7: But if you were giving me ninety million dollars, like 895 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,480 Speaker 7: I don't know, I'd figure out a way to get 896 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 7: around it, figure it out. O. 897 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 1: I agree. He's John Middlecoff three. Now it's the podcast. 898 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: He's the host of the volume podcast That Work. Johnny, 899 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Thanks for joining us, Bud
