8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: We're in Chicago. The temperatures mid sixties. Honestly, I had

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: to get talked out of wearing a tank top on

10

Speaker 1: part of your day and listen. I got a lot

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: of opinions on Kadie's burner account, it just hasn't been

14
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: verified yet. When it gets verified, I got all sorts

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: of opinions. So a lot of people in our space,

16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: the talk show space, they don't like to get called out.

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: That's why I've always respected guys who don't play it safe,

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: who have big opinions. They don't care what you think.

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: They don't care about the pushback. They The bottom line is,

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: you can't worry about the critics. You can't worry about fans.

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: Do your prep. Let it rip, it lands where it lands.

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: And I saw this this morning. Caleb Williams. According to

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com, they looked at all the numbers, is

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: the NFC North's best quarterback? And my take was, no,

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: we're getting into a discussion if you count everything that

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams may very quickly be the best quarterback. You've

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: got to count everything with a quarterback, including the cost,

28
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: not including what a quarterback costs. There's a reason the

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: Bills have no Pro bowlers on defense and the and

30
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: the Bears have a stacked roster. It's because Caleb Williams

31
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: cost ten million a year. It's a three and a

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: half percent cap hit. Lamar Jackson's going to be a

33
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: twenty five percent cap hit if you count mobility and

34
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: health and arm and lack of turnover this year he

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: corrected negative plays. Is Caleb Williams. I don't care about resume.

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm not into past celebrations or pass failures. I'm into

37
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: projecting twenty twenty six Labor Day weekend? Is Caleb the

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league? Because discussing quarterbacks without also

39
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: acknowledging the cost is like doing your family budget when

40
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: you sit down with your wife and not counting the

41
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: maserati you bought last year without asking her. Yeah, it's

42
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: going to kind of screw up the budget. Not going

43
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: to have a nanny this year, not going to be

44
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: going to the movies much, forget second vacation, can't afford one.

45
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: I looked up the stats this morning. Only one quarterback

46
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: in the league had more big time throws twenty plus

47
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: throws than Caleb Williams. It wasn't Josh Allen Mahomes and

48
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't Lamar Jackson. Caleb Williams has the lowest interception

49
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: since he entered the league, better than Mahomes, Lamar Jackson,

50
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen. He is now officially the

51
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: fastest quarterback on clock, better than Lamar, faster than Josh

52
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: Allen and oh by the way, he also had the

53
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: longest completion in the league last year. So if you

54
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: count everything and you have to count cost, there is

55
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: a reason Drake May, bow Nicks, Caleb Williams have really

56
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: good rosters and the Buffalo Bills don't have a pro bowler,

57
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: or why the Chiefs O line in run games stinks

58
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: if you're counting everything I said when he came into

59
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: this league. I said two things he won't get a

60
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: lot of credit for because he's so dynamic. There's so

61
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: much horsepower that you're in awe of watching him as

62
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: he never gets hurt, and he doesn't throw interceptions. That's

63
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: just the little stuff on the edges. Now he throws

64
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: the longest ball and is the fastest quarterback and has

65
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: the lowest interception rate and his three point five percent

66
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: against the cap. Now, once he's gotten rid of the

67
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: negative plays which he did last year, is he next year?

68
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: All things in the best quarterback in the league. You

69
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: can keep telling me about Josh Allen and Mahomes and

70
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, CJ. Stroud regressed. I think Lamar regressed this year.

71
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm not into resumes. I'm into projecting. And he's also

72
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: an ascending player. Go look at his last seven regular

73
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: season games last year. It was like fourteen touchdowns, two

74
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: picks something like that. So you know, when I hear

75
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: this stuff, if you're gonna count, and I think you

76
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: should for quarterback, I mean we have a trend in

77
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: this league. Highest paid quarterbacks take out Mahomes in twenty

78
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: twenty three. They don't make super bowls. They don't make

79
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: super bowls. Sam Darnold just did, Drake May did, Bo

80
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: Knicks should have. So if you're gonna count everything, and

81
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, how do you not count what

82
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback costs? I said it all this year. Look

83
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: at the Bears roster offensively, It's stacked interior, O line,

84
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: right tackle, running back, depth, wide receiver, that Snowa's arc.

85
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: They got two everything. Here's Caleb on Max Crosby's podcast,

86
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: not talking about himself, but what he thinks he can

87
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: be part of with the Bears offense this year.

88
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 2: I really want to become the greatest offense this year.

89
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: That's that's really on my mind.

90
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: I think the average was thirty eight point five or

91
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: something like that of Denver.

92
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: At Peyton year we have fifty touchdowns.

93
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: I think he's thirty nine is the is the number?

94
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: You know, average score and so yes, so what we're

95
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: going for.

96
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it's crazy. You know, we we

97
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: when things are right in front of you. The NFL

98
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: is a hard cap league. Every dollar matters. So you

99
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: can tell me how great Josh Allen Is and I

100
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: can tell you too bad. We can't afford to go

101
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: get Max Crosby. You know who can the Bears Denver.

102
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Now they're out from under Russell Wilson's cap hit. So

103
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: there you go. And I don't think that's hyperbolic. I

104
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: think the kids that good. The numbers are now all

105
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: coming in, big throws, speed, longest completion interception rate, they're

106
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: all coming in, and it's like, oh, they're better than

107
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: Josh and Lamar and Mahomes and Burrow. And he never

108
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: gets hurt. And now there's no negative plays. Okay, I'm

109
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: here for it. So I saw this. I'm working on

110
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: a project right now with a couple of people and

111
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of people, and it's one of those Hollywood projects.

112
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: And the difference is our show is great because J

113
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: McK and I can prep do the show, go home,

114
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: it's done. Hollywood's very glacial, and because of that, actors

115
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: can be very frustra to work with at times. It's

116
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: very slow. It's let me get into character, let me

117
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: contemplate what the motivation is for this character. And I'm like, bro,

118
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: let's go got a life to lead, cha cha? So

119
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: I see this story with Aaron Rodgers and Erin's always

120
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: been the most Hollywood of the quarterbacks Peyton Manning and

121
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Urgency. Aaron Rodgers is very much like Christopher

122
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Walkin staring out a window. It will be amazing when

123
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: I get to it. So I see a story this morning,

124
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: former general manager urges the Steelers to move on from

125
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And I don't think the general manager dislikes

126
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. This is a very urgent league, and Aaron's

127
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: a very casual guy, and I think that's much easier

128
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: to do when you're in your prime. You know, when

129
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Aaron first exploded onto the scene, he was a little

130
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: like the very first flat screen TVs. WHOA, what is that?

131
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: You hang it on your wall? Like god, it's like

132
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: eighty eight inches, Like not that many people, if anybody

133
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: else you know in your group had the giant flat screen.

134
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Now everybody has them, and they're not that special, and

135
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: it's kind of embarrassing if you don't. And it's so

136
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: it's like something to not necessarily brag about. They're kind

137
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: of giving them away. And that's how I kind of

138
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: look at Aaron. Aaron's casual nature was much cooler when

139
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: he was much better, and I thought he had a

140
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: really good year. But I'm i'm I'm thinking about Mike

141
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: McCarthy's building his staff. Free agency starts in three weeks.

142
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: It's like, Aaron, you're forty two years old. There are

143
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: certain things By the time you're forty two, you mostly

144
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: give a quick answer to, like, Hey, do you want

145
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: to come back for your job? Do you like it here?

146
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: What do we got to pay you? That stuff's harder

147
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: at twenty, and maybe it's hard eighty, but when you're

148
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: like when you're a pro athlete at forty, you kind

149
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: of know when a season ends. I don't want to

150
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: go to that again. I don't want to get hit again.

151
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm not into it. So I it's you got you know,

152
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Albert Breer on Monday on the I would go get

153
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: Malie Willis And it's nothing against Aaron, who I defend

154
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,479
Speaker 1: it all year. But it's like, bro, this whole Hollywood

155
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: casual indifferent thing. I mean, Tom Brady is LFG, Aaron

156
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers is LFC. Let's f and chill, and I think

157
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: that's much easier when you're in your prime. Here's Albert

158
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: Breer on if the Steelers should wait for ar.

159
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: I know the Steelers like Will Howard.

160
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: I don't they like him to the level where it's like,

161
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 4: we're not going to do anything else at.

162
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: Quarterback, you know.

163
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: And then if you are going to wait for him,

164
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: the problem is then all that quarterback movement that happens

165
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 4: in the middle of March. I mean you could be

166
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 4: left with you know, everybody's got their seat, you know,

167
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 4: in the game of musical chairs, and you're left with nothing.

168
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 4: I don't think Art Rooney wants to be bad this year.

169
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 4: I don't think he wants to bought him out. I

170
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 4: think bringing in Mike McCarthy as the head coach tells you,

171
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 4: you know, implicitly that they do not want to go

172
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: through the full rebuild all at once. Go be bad

173
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 4: for a couple of years and draft a quarterback.

174
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. When I read this story, I think to myself,

175
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: the whole casualness is is it works for actors. It

176
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: works when you're in your prime as an athlete. I

177
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: it would drive me insane if I was Mike McCarthy.

178
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out the draft. I got free agency,

179
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking at film, I'm trying to figure out my roster,

180
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: and the most important position is I'll get back to you.

181
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: Bring your wife. Maybe I'm married, maybe I'm not. Wait

182
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: what huh? It's just to me. It's like I need answers,

183
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: bro like fast. I'm building a business here, J Mack.

184
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: There's some Laker stuff percolating. I also want you to

185
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: work on that KD. Burner story.

186
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 5: Callery is firing at all cylinders today. It's almost like

187
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 5: he's excited about something. Is it the return of the

188
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 5: NBA tomorrow.

189
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: Maybe it's my vacation, Oh, vacation, that's what I thought.

190
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 5: It was Michigan Duke on Saturday. You got to set

191
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 5: an alarm in your phone for that one.

192
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: Michigan's a giant team, so if you don't have length,

193
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: you're in big trouble against the Wolverines. It's a great game.

194
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, you want the KD. Burner stuff, I'm on it, boss, Yes, sir, well.

195
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: There is. There's been stories about somebody found Kd's burner

196
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: and he takes a shot at teammates, and he's taking

197
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: it shots at guys he plays with. And I don't

198
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: know if it's true or not, but people are acting

199
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: surprised and My take is, guys, we always said this

200
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: about KD. Great player, not a great leader. You don't

201
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: build a round kit. You build around Steph, Magic Bird, Lebron, Kobe,

202
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: They're a player, Duncan, they're players you build around, and

203
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: then there's just players that are really talented leaders. Steph Curry.

204
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: You would never hear this story with Steph Curry on

205
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: the burner. You would never hear that story with Lebron

206
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: on the burner. You would never hear that story with

207
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan in a burner account, Yokich, Luca sd k D.

208
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: If you told me this story, guess who it is,

209
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: I would say, well, who's not a leader, who's kind

210
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: of an independent, who's a guy that's just a baller

211
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: doing his own thing. I'd be like, Oh, that's probably KD.

212
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: So it plays into his brand, which is he's not married,

213
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: he's doing his own thing, he's a little thin skinned,

214
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: he battles on the internet. He's staring at his phone

215
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: all day. And that's remember we've talked about this before.

216
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: He's got rabbit ears because he's on the phone all day.

217
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: Married guys with a bunch of kids aren't on phones

218
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: all day at least guys I know, and so I

219
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: think single guys are If you go to a restaurant

220
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: and you watch two people on a date and they're

221
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: both singling, they're young, they're on their phones, that's generational.

222
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: So to me hauling out teammates people that are shocked

223
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: by it, I'm like, no, I'd be shocked if it

224
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: was Steph Curry or Duncan or or you know, the

225
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: guys in this league like Jalen Brunson, I'd be shocked.

226
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: No way, Steph Curry shocked, YO, get shocked. K D.

227
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: I'd be like, that's kind of what we've always said.

228
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: You don't build around him. He's not the cake. He's

229
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: just unbelievable icing And there you have it. If it's true.

244
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: welcome in. I never forget this. I was. I'm watching

245
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: a documentary right now. It is fantastic. I'm three parts

246
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: of four parts through it. It's called Soul Power. It's

247
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: the story of the ABA. And the ABA was initially

248
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: legitimized because they stole a star from the NBA, Rick Berry,

249
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: the MVP. But it was ultimately legitimized not by Rick

250
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: Berry alone but by Doctor J, a star with star power. Yes,

251
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: he was a great player, Doctor J. The Dunks. And

252
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: then the NBA had a down period and David Stern

253
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: came in and what saved the NBA? Star power, Magic Johnson,

254
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: Larry Byrd and and and then this the league went global.

255
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Who gets credit for that? Dave Stern agents no Michael

256
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Jordan superstar. So in review, what legitimized the ABA? Why

257
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: did the NBA look at the ABA and go we

258
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: should merge Doctor J. And then there was saved by

259
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: Magic and Bird went global by MJ. What is the

260
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: biggest hole the NBA right now has. It's not money,

261
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: They're making a lot of money. It's not ratings. Now

262
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: All Star Game got great ratings. A lot of the

263
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: international guys lacked star power. SGA lacks star power. He's

264
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: just a great player, saying with Jokich, Wenby's got a

265
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: little bit of it, Luca's got a little bit of it.

266
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: Not close to Stephan Lebron. It's a star driven league.

267
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: And so when I watch what's happening, I'm reading a

268
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: story this morning on Magic. Johnson was on All the

269
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: Smoke a podcast and he was talking about how we

270
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: got Lebron, a very smart businessman, very shrewd businessman. Magic

271
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: and Lebron, how we got him too La. It wasn't

272
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: because the Lakers had the best front office, the best owners,

273
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: or the best roster. In fact, they were at the

274
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: bottom of the group of teams. But Magic new Lebron's

275
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: a star. Stars love La. You can hide in la. O.

276
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: Tani was offered a lot of places. He stayed in

277
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: La to a better baseball team. You can hide here, right,

278
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: And so what's interesting about this article. It really makes

279
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: me think of David Stern and Adam Silver. Adam Silver

280
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: is getting criticized during All Star weekend. The league's got

281
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: issues and they do so did baseball years ago, and

282
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: the commissioner tweaked them, change them, altered them, and it's

283
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: been a renaissance for baseball. But one of the things

284
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: basketball has to lean into is star cities. The reason

285
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: Rucker Park is cool is that it's not in Sacramento.

286
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: It's not in Cleveland, it's not in Omaha, it's not

287
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: in Memphis. It's in New York City. And New York

288
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: City's cooler than Memphis. And it matters more. Got two

289
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: trillion dollar GT beat GDPs in this country, LA and

290
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: New York trillion plus. Lean into it. Lean into stars.

291
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 1: It saved your league. It legitimized the ABA. When your

292
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: league was broken, you leaned on them. Your most popular

293
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: teams have been star studed, your best players have been stars.

294
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: They made your sport global. They sell the most merchandise.

295
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: Stop trying to neutralize market size and market share. It

296
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: does matter. There's a reason on the East Coast in

297
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: a winter league, the one place that historically keeps landing

298
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: stars is Miami Star Friendly, no state tax, aqua water,

299
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: celebrities everywhere. That's the one. Eat Boston, New York, Philly.

300
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: Now a lot of them want to go to Miami

301
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: Winter League, warm weather, no state tax, aqua water. Lean

302
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: into it. This. Magic Johnson's a prime example. Magic figured

303
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: it out. He's like, this is a celebrity town. It's

304
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: a celebrity league. You're a star. It's spread out. People

305
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: aren't on top of you. Choose the Lakers because they

306
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: were good, and I just I think it's unnatural to

307
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: try and convince us we have to care about OKC

308
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: as much as the Knicks and the Lakers. It's always

309
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: been a city league. It's never been a rural league.

310
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: It's never been a media market league. Hell Portland, Oregon,

311
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: where I used to live, they've never even hosted an

312
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: NBA All Star Game. They don't have enough hotel rooms. Apparently,

313
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm not making it up. They've never been a proud

314
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: NBA franchise forever and will remain for the next one

315
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: hundred years. Probably. They've never hosted an All Star Game.

316
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: Why the league's like, you're not big enough. So the

317
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: league acknowledges and David Stern was very comfortable leaning into

318
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: the big city. So I don't know. I magic Johnson

319
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: figured it out. He recruited Lebron. There were seven teams

320
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: after him. He's like, you can hide here. You can.

321
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: In the story he's saying, you can be a billionaire here.

322
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: You're not going to be a billionaire in Acron unless

323
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: you're like in you know you've got factories, right, That's

324
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: not gonna work. Here. Was Nick Wright yesterday on Lebron's

325
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: future with the Lakers.

326
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 7: I do not believe Lebron James is retiring, and I

327
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 7: do not believe Lebron James will be a Laker next year.

328
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 7: I think wherever the final chapter is going to be

329
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 7: will be somewhere else. Is a basketball crime that you

330
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 7: had Lebron James on your roster, who Luca modeled his

331
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 7: game after, and the types of players that you need

332
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 7: to have around an older Lebron James to succeed are

333
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 7: the exact types of players you need to have around

334
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 7: Luke at Ancic. And they trade for Luke at Ancic

335
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 7: and we're more than a year removed, and they're like, man,

336
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 7: we sure don't have the right types of guys around him.

337
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people think Lebron doesn't end his career

338
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: in LA. But there was a story yesterday and it

339
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: was written about and confirmed again today. The Lakers are

340
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: bringing him back if he wants to come back, and

341
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: of course he wants to come back. That's why Stafford's here,

342
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: and Otani's here and Freddie Freeman is here. Of course

343
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: he wants to come back. It's a city league. He's

344
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: a celebrity, he's a star. The league can try to

345
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: convince us that we have to care about Indiana, Okse

346
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: and San Antonio as much. The players don't. They may

347
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: get drafted and developed there. The players don't. They've always

348
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: had certain cities they want to play in. J Mack

349
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: with the news. No, No, No, turned on the news.

350
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 3: This is the herd Line News.

351
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 5: It's been a rough six months for the Kansas City Chiefs, Colin,

352
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 5: but they've got some good news this morning, and that

353
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes has restructured his contract and a pretty impressive

354
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 5: move from the Chiefs. Kansas City converted forty four million

355
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 5: of his base salary and a roster bonus into creating

356
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 5: forty three point five million dollars in caps. So that's

357
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 5: the good news. Okay, Mahomes restructure created forty three million

358
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 5: in cast base nine. Here's the here's the bad news, Collin,

359
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 5: the Chiefs still are eleven million dollars over the salary

360
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 5: cap even after this move. That's how dire things were

361
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 5: in Cansas.

362
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: They have three of the first I forget the number

363
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: three of the first, like seventy picks. They have to

364
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: nail an edge rusher, they've got to find a running back.

365
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: They've got to shore up the old line.

366
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 5: So then again, you expecting three rookies to come in

367
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 5: and do all that is.

368
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: They don't need to carry the team. I didn't say that,

369
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: but they've got an upgrade at edge. I mean edge

370
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: and running back can play immediately. Offensive tackle is probably

371
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: a year or two develop into a really good player.

372
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: But running backs, I mean Bjeon Robinson, Saquon Barkley, Ezekiel

373
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: Elliott running back in Waukee in high school to college,

374
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: college to pro and play immediately. Here's the ball. Find

375
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: a crease, run hard. There are a certain visit cornerback,

376
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: running back, and I also think edge rusher, you've got

377
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: it or you don't. If you come out of Adison

378
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: came right out of college. He was immediately a factor.

379
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 5: So do you think they'll be able to be factors

380
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 5: in free agency because you know, really, oh well, that's

381
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 5: not great banking on rookies to come in and help

382
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 5: out instantly.

383
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: Banking on three rookies to be drafted and start and

384
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: a couple of them running backed and edge rusher to

385
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: make plays. I don't think it's a huge ask.

386
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Jeremiah Love, I mean, I'm surprised you're on

387
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 5: board for that given the other needs.

388
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 3: And we know running.

389
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 5: Backs kind of a luxury, but he is a superstar.

390
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 5: He feels like a Bijon Robinson do now.

391
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't feel running backs to luxury. I don't. I

392
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: think Kenneth Walker proved you can be driven largely, not exclusively.

393
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: But if you have a mean, when McCaffrey plays, the

394
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: Niners win seventy five erc under their games. When McCaffrey doesn't,

395
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: they don't. That's Kyle Shanahan. That's an excellent coach. So

396
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you start looking at the

397
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: best coaches in this league, most lean in. I mean,

398
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: what's one of the first things Jim Harbad did get

399
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: Najie Harris draft Amarion Hampton he knew where I'd start.

400
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: They may not have enough receivers and tight ends. They

401
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: want to make sure they have excellent running backs. JK. Dobbins.

402
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: They brought him on last year.

403
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 5: It seems like there's a couple guys on the defensive line,

404
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 5: including Chris Jones, who could be the next restructure.

405
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 3: We know Jones starting.

406
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 5: To fall off a little bit. Is that safe to say, well,

407
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 5: a big game every now.

408
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: Sean Payton brought in JK. Dobbins harbad did the year before.

409
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: The point being is I don't think. I think for

410
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City, running back is not a luxury item. I

411
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: do not believe it is.

412
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 5: All right, Let's move on to the Baltimore Ravens. They

413
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 5: have finally named an offensive coordinator and that is a

414
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 5: gentleman by the name of Declan Doyle Colin. He comes

415
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 5: from the Bears, where he was the OC last year

416
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 5: at the age of twenty eight. Now he wasn't calling

417
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 5: plays in Chicago, but at twenty nine years old in Baltimore,

418
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 5: he becomes the youngest play caller in the league.

419
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: Colin, this is kind.

420
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 5: Of stunning, But Lamar Jackson's calling the shots there apparel,

421
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 5: so maybe he likes this. Here's what Doyle had to

422
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 5: say about his new quarterback and Lamar.

423
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 8: That trust is going to be earned through time. You know,

424
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 8: It's not like I can call up Lamar and say, hey,

425
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 8: I need you to trust me. We'll earn that over time,

426
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 8: and it's really going to be a two way street.

427
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 8: He's got to earn my trust. I have to earn

428
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 8: his trust. When you watch the tape, there's not really

429
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 8: any throws that he can't make. He's very arm talented.

430
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 8: I think there's a number of things that you watch

431
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 8: that I think that he can get even better. I

432
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 8: think there's even a higher ceiling to his game, you know,

433
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 8: where you're looking at a guy who's been the MVP

434
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 8: twice and yet I still think that just like all

435
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 8: of our guys. But I think he still has room

436
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 8: to grow as well.

437
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see last year didn't feel quite as explosive,

438
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: wasn't as fast statistically as Caleb Williams, So we'll see

439
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: he didn't feel the same last year, but some of

440
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: that could have been injuries.

441
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 5: This is interesting, Colins, So Dick glan Doyle's twenty nine

442
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 5: years old, so is Lamar and Jackson. You know, we

443
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: talked about Matt Stafford in the Super Bowl. He's seen

444
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 5: every defense, he can handle everything. And then you know

445
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 5: that was a couple of years ago. Now we see

446
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 5: young Drake May in the Super Bowl. He was shook,

447
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 5: he was rattled an offensive coordinator who's twenty nine.

448
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 3: That feels like.

449
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 5: A Madden ish higher, doesn't it at twenty nine years old?

450
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: Colin, come on us, I think I think God, I

451
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I people experience matters. I think young I

452
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: think brain power matters. If he's the smartest guy you interviewed,

453
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: McVeigh was a kid. He was six games into his

454
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: NFL coaching career. McVay was a top eight coach. A

455
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: year into it, he was probably a top three four coach.

456
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: Like I, age doesn't. There's a ton of really smart

457
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: people out there. Our kids are smarter than we were.

458
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: They have access to more information. So I twenty. I mean,

459
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: I don't really care about coaches. I worry about when

460
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: they get too old and they're not current, like they're

461
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: not they're just not up to speed. That worries me.

462
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: I don't worry about Yeah, I mean, if there's there'll

463
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: be a twenty six year old NFL head coach at

464
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: some point in my lifetime, and it's going to be

465
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: he I mean, Sean mcvay's first press conference.

466
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 5: You're like, Wow, he could have been an outlier though,

467
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 5: I mean.

468
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: Well, he probably was. But this kid's probably an outlier too.

469
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald was a kid when he got hired by

470
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, seems and what do we say, Oh, he's

471
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: basically McVay on the defensive side. Timiko Ryans was right

472
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: out of the league. He's been excellent.

473
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 5: So we got rookie, first time head coach in a

474
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 5: mentor and a first time play call youngest play.

475
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: Caller in Deckland Doyle. Well, it's blond a team. You've

476
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: got some bandwidth on this roster. There's some older veteran

477
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: players that are really good. I don't worry about leadership

478
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: with the Ravens. I don't I worry about the cap

479
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: hit Lamar Jackson's new contract is because that's going to

480
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: completely limit what you can do.

481
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 5: It's February, But who's winning that division?

482
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, I don't feel strongly about anybody.

483
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: YF Malie Willis went to the Steeters. I think that

484
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: would be really interesting.

485
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 5: Okay, don't have that one final story, Calm college basketball,

486
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 5: your guy. Mick Cronan last night tough one for the

487
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 5: Bruins crush and one of his players made a poor

488
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 5: decision here, kind.

489
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: Of a hard found, not cheap.

490
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 5: He made an effort, got piece of the ball, but

491
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 5: down twenty five. It was a bit of a dangerous play,

492
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 5: and Mick Cronin, in a shocking move, ejected his own player.

493
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 3: I don't know that I've ever seen that.

494
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: I don't like him at all. I think you're embarrassing

495
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: a young man in front of fifteen thousand people or

496
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: whatever the arena holds. I don't like that. I think

497
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: it's over emotional. I think coaches jobs are to lose

498
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: d I think a really good coach, you know, Bobby

499
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: Knight used to preach discipline and yet had none. You know,

500
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: Bobby Knight was like, be disciplined, but you didn't have

501
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: any discipline with officials and how you were yelling and

502
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: screaming and throwing stuff like so to me, I think

503
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: this is showing up a player. I don't like it

504
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: at all. I think, I mean, you try that stuff

505
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: pro basketball to you get tossed into the stands. I

506
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: don't like to.

507
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 3: Quickly cullin if we're being real.

508
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 5: I know it in full speed, it looks scary when

509
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 5: you slow it down. It's a good hustle play, and

510
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 5: he got bold. The guy was in the air, which

511
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 5: makes him look initially like.

512
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: Holy hell, and Cronan flipped out.

513
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 5: Anyway, here's Cronin and Tom Izzo after the game talking

514
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 5: about the incident.

515
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 9: True toughness is on how you compete and how you

516
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 9: go to work every day. Steve's a good kid. He

517
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 9: made a bad decision. If you want to be a

518
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 9: tough guy, you need to do it during the game

519
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 9: for a blockout for a rebound. So I was thoroughly disappointed.

520
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 9: Guy was defenseless in the air. I know Steven shaying

521
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 9: to block the shot, but you know the game's a

522
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 9: twenty five point game.

523
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: You don't do that. I guess see upgraded that to

524
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: a segment too. Huh. That's first time I saw a

525
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: coach do it. But that sounds like mix. So you'll

526
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: get that straightened out now.

527
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 5: Listen, Cronin, who you and I both like after the game,

528
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 5: got a little I'm mad with the reporter who asked

529
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 5: him about the zone fans section, and he snapped at

530
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 5: the guy. I like Cronin, okay. I like his feiziness.

531
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 5: He's tough, he's not going to take any crap. It's

532
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: just a tough one. They're not great this year UCLA.

533
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: I just didn't like. I don't like the look of that.

534
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: I can like a coach. Two things can be true.

535
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 1: I can I can like Iszoh, and he can make

536
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: a play call or a play design. I didn't like.

537
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: I just don't like. Well, first of all, you're a

538
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: very young player. When what's that kid nineteen years old?

539
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: You're competing your butt off you you don't want to

540
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: give up a freebie. It looks like he gets this

541
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: is a real it's not a cheap shot. He's going

542
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: for the block and the kid crashes. I don't like it.

543
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't And I have no problem with coaches yelling.

544
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: I think volume occasionally is very effective. I don't like this.

545
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I listen in the moment. I can see him

546
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 5: getting heated. If he saw the replay, I don't think

547
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 5: he would have told his guy to get to the

548
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 5: locker room.

549
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: And I like it. Jmack with the news, Well that's

550
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: the news, and thanks for stopping by the herd Line News.

551
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: And u c l A is not going to like that.

552
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 1: Like U c l A, I mean, you know, U

553
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: c l A has got a lot of people. They

554
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: answered to USC is private. They can pay their coaches

555
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: what they want to pay their coaches. Everything has to

556
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: be above board at u c l A. It's the

557
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: grand public institution. They're they're they're fan you know it's

558
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: it's it's listed right next door to bel Air very

559
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 1: boogie there. This is not going to play well. This

560
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: is this is going to get massive pushback because u

561
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: c l A has got this sort of elegant, precious

562
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: feel to it, and they're kind of a lost athletic department.

563
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: They're lost in football. They can't really afford the nil

564
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: portal system, and the basketball is what they have. They

565
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: have a beautiful arena and mix kind of rough around

566
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: the edges and it makes a lot of people uncomfortable.

567
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: And I watch that and I'm like, oh, that will

568
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: not play well at u c l A. Will not

569
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: play what John did his coaching at practice. I mean

570
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: there's still it's the ghost of John Wooden, Like it's

571
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: this elegance, this expertise, the pyramid of success. That's not

572
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna play well. I mean that, just watch the next

573
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: twenty four hours will not play well. It's the hurt.

574
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd Weekdays

575
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: and Noon Easter not a em Pacific.

576
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 5: Sunday on Fox, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Atlanta.

577
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 5: Kyle Larson and the best of the best take on

578
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 5: Echo Park Speedway for some high speed chaos. Pre race

579
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 5: coverage begins at to eastern with the green flag at three,

580
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 5: only on Fox.

581
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 1: So I hear all these gloom and doom stories about AI,

582
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: and I've always said this, the media exaggerates everything, not

583
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: the sports media, necessarily the political media. I don't know

584
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: what tariffs are going to do eventually to the economy,

585
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: but it sounded like within three weeks we were all

586
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: going to be on food stamps. And it looks like

587
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: we're all doing okay. You know. It's just it's one

588
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: of those things where the media, we're all going to die.

589
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: With COVID three hundred and forty five million people one

590
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: point three million passed. That's too many people, majority over

591
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: seventy five years old. Life expectancy in America is seventy

592
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: eight and a half years old. This was not children,

593
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: This was not teens. So I always you know everything

594
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: with the media, I always a I've seen it all before.

595
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: When you get older and have gray hair, you've seen

596
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: every crisis. It wasn't our first pandemic, believe it or not,

597
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: Like we've had stuff like this before. And so when

598
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: I hear the stories about AI, I'm like, this is

599
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: going to be jet fuel to the economy. Microsoft just

600
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: at a study where they found that AI found disease

601
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 1: four times faster than our best doctors. So they're not

602
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: AIS not replacing doctors. It's going to be used by

603
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: doctors to save lives. And I believe AI is. You know,

604
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: coders are probably in trouble. The software industry could be

605
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: in trouble, but I think AI is going to be

606
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: a massive economy. And we've got hundreds of shoulder economies

607
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: in this country. I just don't buy all the it's

608
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: all going to die, We're all in big trouble. I don't.

609
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: I take a deep breath. And the college football yesterday

610
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: I had Urban Meyer on and Mike Elko, the coach

611
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: of Texas A and M came out and he's like,

612
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: we need a CEO for the sport. I totally agree

613
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: with that, absolutely agree with it. That's why boxing died

614
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: and UFC got popular. They had a centralized voice. It's

615
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: why the NFL has pulled away from everybody. Strong leadership,

616
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: willing to adapt and innovate and change. College football needs

617
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: a CEO. I'd nominate Nick Saban, but urban Meyer talked

618
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: about Mike Elko's comments and the state of the sport.

619
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 10: The last thing that college football needs is more rules.

620
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 10: The rules are in place now, they're not enforced. That's chaos.

621
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 10: College football is chaos right now. I think we're in

622
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 10: the golden era of parody and college football. I mean,

623
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 10: you had to number ten. Miami really should have won

624
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 10: the game. I was there, and they should have. They

625
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 10: could have, and that I stood there and watched them,

626
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 10: wore them up. They were a national championship looking team.

627
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 1: So I have heard nothing but concern for the sport

628
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: and I don't see it. And here's my reason. If

629
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: you truly love something, you'll accept its flaws. It could

630
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: be your pets, your kids, your wife, if you're a

631
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: woman listening, your husband, your boyfriend. If you love something,

632
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: you'll accept flaws your neighborhood. You'll accept it. We love

633
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: college football. Half of you went to the school. You've

634
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: got plaques on the walls, tailgating. You think people are

635
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: just going to give up in the Big Ten in

636
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: SEC country, Notre Dame fans. We love this sport. One

637
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: of the reasons many people don't watch the Olympics, even

638
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: though there's paid triotism and great athleticism. You don't love

639
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: the sports. You don't love downhill skiing, you don't love curly.

640
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: With college football, it's totally flawed. You don't have to

641
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: love the NFL, the transfer portal, twelve teams in the playoff,

642
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: which will become sixteen or maybe twenty four, but you

643
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: love the sport and all. It's the same with AI.

644
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: It's going to end the world. I'm like, it's a

645
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 1: super economy. It's going to be used by every industry.

646
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: It's going to replace some people. But in the end,

647
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: I like my doctor, I like my accountant, I like

648
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: my agent. Hopefully you like me or you'll get some

649
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: AI version of it. So I got Indiana winning a

650
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: national championship. I've got more parody than I've ever seen.

651
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: I've got the Big Ten, the strongest has ever been.

652
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: No longer a two team conference. The SEC is no

653
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: longer has a stranglehold on the sport, and they're no

654
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: longer a two team conference. I've got an NFL like

655
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: playoff system I've never had before. I'm the older players.

656
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: Players are staying in college football longer because they're getting paid. Translation,

657
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: the teams are better. Miami and Indiana, you and guys

658
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: that could have been in NFL year ago. So like

659
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: the sports, better ratings up, revenue up, Indiana can win

660
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: a Natty. The Big ten's got six teams that could

661
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,479
Speaker 1: win the championship, maybe five. SEC's got four or five,

662
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: and one of them may not be Alabama. So it's

663
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: like I see hope, I see passion, I see revenue,

664
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: revenue and ratings. I don't see chaos. I mean a

665
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: lot of us like chaos. You don't go to Marty

666
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: Gras to get a good night's sleep, especially if you're

667
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: Shia La buff. You don't go there for a good

668
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: night's sleep. You don't go to the ball Drop in

669
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: New York City because you want to go to bed

670
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: at eight thirty. People like tailed and wild and loud

671
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: and crazy, and we sit in snowstorms to watch football games.

672
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: So we're not board sitting at home. So I think

673
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: the sport's fine. Now here's something that's not fine. Listen

674
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: to this story. This is brutal. This is brutal. So

675
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 1: longtime NFL defensive assistant Wink Martindale interviewed twice last month

676
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: for the Jets defensive coordinator position. A new report says

677
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: he heard two different things from the head coach, Aaron Glenn,

678
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: because they believe what happened is Aaron Glenn had his

679
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: vision of defense, and then Woody Johnson has his vision

680
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: of what to do with the defense. And so now

681
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: Woody Johnson is meddling with a defensive coach on the

682
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. And a popular assistant said,

683
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: I heard two different pitches for the defense. So and

684
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this this morning. I do not

685
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: remember an NFL team going into the season with less

686
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: hope coach, F quarterback situation D minus F ownership. Brutal.

687
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if you since twenty fifteen, the Jets have

688
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: had thirty four games with zero offensive touchdowns. Next closest

689
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 1: is the Giants with twenty one, and they've been futrid.

690
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: And you can. I mean, on the misery meter of

691
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: the NFL, you could make fun of Cleveland. But if

692
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm a Cleveland fan, I'm like, I've got maybe the

693
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: best player in the league. Miles Garrett and Shador Sanders.

694
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: Say what you want. Seven starts went three and four

695
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: and one is last two. There's a little bit of hope. Tennessee.

696
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: You can say, oh, the Titans, I got cam Ward,

697
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: a ton of cap space, got Sala and Brian Dabele.

698
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: I like, I like that coaching staff in a winnable division.

699
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: You look at the Raiders. I'm getting Mendoza. I got

700
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: Clint Kobiak. I got a tight end to running back

701
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: and one receiver. I like Colton Miller, the left tackles

702
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: coming back. You can talk yourself into a lot of positives,

703
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: even Arizona. I got one of these young coaches from

704
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: the Sean McVay tree. I've got tremendous tight end, running

705
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: back and wide receiver talent. I mean, they were scoring

706
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: a lot of points last year. But Jakobe Brissett, you

707
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: can talk yourself into Vegas and Cleveland. I mean, I've said,

708
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: just play a Shador Sanders. Why not? One of his

709
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: last two starts, roll it out. Got a couple of

710
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: first round picks, So see if he can play. I

711
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to be great. Let's see if

712
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: he can play. Jets. There is I mean, the only

713
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: thing I like about the Jets is they got a

714
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: couple of firsts. And if I was the Jets, I

715
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: would trade down if possible, and I would just keep

716
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: drafting young players. They don't have to start. Just get

717
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: them in the building, cheap labor, get as many draft

718
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: picks as I can, get your quarterback next year, and

719
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: get a new coach bought them out. That's the best

720
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: thing I can say. But I mean, there's only three

721
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: teams that didn't have a pro bowler. It was the Jets,

722
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: and that story if Wink Martindale, and there's no reason

723
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: for Wink Martindale to make stuff up, basically saying he

724
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: went to Aaron Glenn and heard two different accounts of

725
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: what they want the defense to be. That is I mean,

726
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: that's that is a notch below on the misery meter. Cleveland, Vegas,

727
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: Arizona Titans. That's like a notch below their hopelessness. J Mack,

728
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that's how I see it.

729
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 5: It's fine. That's what you're going to do on your

730
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 5: way out the door, taking jabs at my jets who

731
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 5: are down, kicking them while they're down. Colin, Yeah, yeah.

732
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: Matt Hasselback today is showing up.

733
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 5: You think he's uh, you know he's fine. After the parade,

734
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 5: in the week long celebration in Seattle.

735
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 1: That you know, that's they're getting after it. That story

736
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 1: about Kenneth Walker. There's a lot of momentum building that Seattle.

737
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: This is tough choices, super Bowl MVP, and a lot

738
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: of people believe and they're probably not wrong. Seattle is

739
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: not going to franchise him because that running back does

740
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: not want to be franchised. There's no reason to get

741
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: a moody guy in the room. They're going to move

742
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: off him. We'll cook. You keep your post at a

743
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: corporate
