00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy freaks and geeks. What's up? You're listening to the

Speaker 1: from Wisconsin Alex Skellhart is in the building. What's cracking?

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like Draft week eve right now. We're

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: in the week. But were Draft weeks or our long

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: nightmare not their long narrative filled nightmare. I love the draft,

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: but that I love narratives. A gap between the combine

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: and the draft is too damn long. I need more.

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: I need more narratives. We got it. We got the

13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: schedule release coming out, or it might have already happened,

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: depending on when you're listening to this, but you got

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: that tent pole event coming out, so there's a lot

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: of cool. It will help. Really a tent pole event,

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: it is schedule released, people go crazy. Even though even

18
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: though we already know who's playing whom, we're putting dates

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: and times. I seen it, yain not yet because we

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: usually get advanced copying even if even if I had

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: seen it, I couldn't tell you because black hooded figures

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: would come into I would say it because it's like

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: the mentors, they would come and just I can't tell you, James,

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: how many texts I get from people like a week

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 1: before the schedule, because like do the schedule and like guys,

26
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: I write fantasy, And no they don't. They don't give

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: it to us that early. Even when we get it

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: like twelve hours early, it's just delete for me. I

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: don't care. I literally care zero. You're you're hilarious if

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: you think they email it to people, they give you

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: a printed copy that they bring only and only people

32
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: that actually have to write content about it. Yeah, like

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: just Joe Schmo can't get it. I don't. I don't.

34
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: Is there a briefcase with a handcuff? I mean, I

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: don't understand exactly. They keep it under lock and key,

36
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: which is just Marcus said, it's kind of hilarious because

37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: we know everybody's playing. It's just like and it's it's

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: like you have all the puzzle pieces, you just turned

39
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: them over and there together here it is. Why do

40
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: people it's such a hard thing to do, Like we

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: can't figure it out, like you can figure this out.

42
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: First of all, you have six games that are automatic

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: that this is an annual rant from Adam Rank. Let

44
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: me say this, and I'm sorry everybody will get to

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: the Fantasy news in a moment, but if you allow

46
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: me a couple of quick tweaks, and this is the

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: number one, you should not play a divisional opponent until

48
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: week four. And at that point we'll call it rivalry week.

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: It'll be a big thing. Steelers Browns from college a

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, you know, whatever caliber, whatever, whatever you have,

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: whoever you figure you're designated, real is that's week four.

52
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: Everybody's back into it. Bye. Weeks should only be weeks eight, nine,

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: ten eleven or nine, ten eleven, twelve either one two divisions.

54
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: You're off one year and then you just rotate every

55
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: year through a four year thing. And you're close with

56
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: three rivalry games, don and Donne and to fill in

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: the rest of them, and I know a lot they'll

58
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: be like, well, like there's concert tours. Who cares? Because

59
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: if you tell people far enough in advance, this is

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: the way the schedule is gonna work from here on out.

61
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: Tell guns and Roses that they can only use Soldier

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: Field during these dates. It's fine. How many, how many?

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: How many stadium bands are left in the world anyways,

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't know everybody plays these intimate venues and that's

65
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: true or maybe manival. I think I don't know. I

66
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: might be dating myself and I think Guns and Roses

67
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: was like the last unless you two comes back around

68
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: or whoever. I mean, for what it's worth, Billy Joel's

69
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: playing Dodgers. Billy Jowel does that. Pearl Jam played Wrigley Field,

70
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: but it's nobody and nobody shares a stadium anymore once

71
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders move. What else? Elai James is why some

72
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: people cares because there are I used to have a

73
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: tradition like this where we would travel to one road

74
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: game every year, and you want to find out as

75
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: early as possible so you can try and book you know,

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: travel and stuff before prices get hyked up and things

77
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: like that is the and knowing when you want to

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: go because also if you're going with like eight or

79
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: nine guys, you have to you have to coordinate a

80
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: lot of schedules. You're like, all right, the road games

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: we could go to this year are like l A Oakland,

82
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: Miami and Boston. Life is the twelve hours between. No.

83
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, just that's why people get excited. I'm not

84
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: saying that's why people hit me up. I'm just saying, like,

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: that's why a lot of people get excited. And you know,

86
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: they like to put too much credence into this, like,

87
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: oh god, we have such a tough schedule. Like, guys,

88
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: we don't know, we don't know bleep about bleep right now.

89
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: But the draft hasn't happened, all the off season moves

90
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: haven't happened, all the camp bodies have not shifted around yet.

91
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: But I'll figure out when the Bears play. And the

92
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: Bears play in New Orleans this year. That's worth noting.

93
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: That's worth noting, So then you can kind of figure

94
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: it out, like, oh yeah, I'll be going there in November.

95
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's get let's get to some stuff here, alright. Listen,

96
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: we got a great show in front of us here today,

97
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: a big time show. We've got Dan hands is joining

98
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: the program. Hand zeus hands us. We'll figure that part

99
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: of it out. Uh. We also have dream fantasy fits

100
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: from a draft per Inspective, out Skill, Horror, and MG,

101
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: my guy Marcus Grant talked about dream fantasy fits for

102
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: draft prospects at the running back and wide receiver position.

103
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: You'll be able to catch that as well. We'll close

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: out with your daily depths, but we start, as always

105
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: with your top headlines, the camera highlights in the world

106
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: of sports, freaking, breaking news, breaking, continue to follow breaking news, kids,

107
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: your wife. Bill Belichick not only hates your fantasy team,

108
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: he hates mine specific and ranks fantasy specifically. Oh my gosh,

109
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: we were ready to win that league because we are

110
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: going to have sexy, rexy yeah, oh yeah, carrying us

111
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: and Martavis Bryant and mart Davis Bryant. Let's go such

112
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: a great start. Despite signing Team Danger's own sleeper, Rex Burkhead,

113
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: the Hatriots, in a d move, also signed Bills running

114
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: back Mike gillis Lee to a two year tender worth

115
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: six point four million dollars four million of that in

116
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: the first year. The Bills are not anticipated to match

117
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: this offer. Gillislee joins the backfield of the aforementioned Burkehead,

118
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis and James White, who just signed a three

119
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: year extension as well. Why Boston, Why must you do

120
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: this to US New England. You know who's gonna end

121
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: up getting the most touchdowns? Deon Lois. That's just the

122
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: way it's gonna work, right. You know, well, I don't understand.

123
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they give money to Burkehead, they give money

124
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: to Gillislie, they give money to James White. It's too many.

125
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: We need to stop drafting individual players in fantasy and

126
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: just be like, I'm gonna take team Hatriots running backs,

127
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: team running backs. There you go from here on out.

128
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't ridiculous. I hate that they keep trying to win.

129
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: I did you just go out and just now fulfill

130
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: our fantasy football request. You've done enough fantasy wise. I

131
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: think they're getting gillissly to basically be their new Lagarrett Blunt.

132
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: Like he's a bigger back. Gillisle is fast, he was

133
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: quite efficient on minimal touches last year, so I think

134
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: they want him to add that power element. Because while

135
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: we all, while we all love Leggy Blunt, he are

136
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: all we all love. Excuse me, Rex Burkhead, He's not

137
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: a Garret. He's a big you know, he's a bigger back,

138
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: but he's not Lagarrett Blunt. So I think they wanted

139
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: Gillis Lee for the scoring prowess. Burkhead is still gonna

140
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: have a role. Feels like a home run guy. It's

141
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: gonna be it. It's gonna be a nightmare, is what

142
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: it's going to be. Essentially. I don't like it. I

143
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: don't like it at all. MG your thoughts on either

144
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis or James White moving forward? One of them

145
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: is not going to be in New England. I feel

146
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: I feel like you think Dane LUs is gonna get cut.

147
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: One of them is gonna go. Yeah, there's no way

148
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: they're going to roll in with these four guys in

149
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: this backfield and try. Even Bill Belichick isn't that machiavellian.

150
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean he's just not you mean mcadooean um except

151
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: except his running backs are good? Uh? Speaking speaking of Belichick,

152
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: um Bro, why are you gonna disparage Orleans Dark Wall

153
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: like that? I mean, he's a great Star Wars character name.

154
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: Why are we talking about Orleans Dark Ones right now?

155
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: Podcast Bob McAdoo running out of foreheaded attack in New

156
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: York featuring Orleans Dark Wall as well? What the hell

157
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: are you doing? Or whatever? I look, I still think

158
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: Burkehead is going to have a fairly sizeable role. I

159
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: think Gillis Lee, as as Gilhart said, is going to

160
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: be kind of that short yardage gold line back, which

161
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: means he'll fall into the end zone a handful of times.

162
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: He does have the home run ability too, but he's

163
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: a big guy that, you know, I think that role.

164
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: And so then it comes down to which guy they

165
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: like the most, either Dion Lewis or James White. I

166
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: guess you know, White just signing a three year extension. Uh,

167
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: that seems and you know what, I had been hearing

168
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: those whispers for a while, even from the moment that

169
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Burke had you got to New England that you know,

170
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: the whispers were that you know, they may move on

171
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: from Dion Lewis. So he seems to maybe solidify that

172
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: little maybe he lost a little bit of juice after

173
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: the after the the injury that I stuff. I don't know.

174
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: Maybe it's possible because then they also bring back Brandon

175
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: Bolden for you know, for a hot second, I don't

176
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: believe they did. You might be a camp body, though,

177
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: who knows. Derek Carr was a full participant at ot

178
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: AS Monday. Remember he broke his fibula in Week sixteen. Gentlemen,

179
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: how excited are you about the news that apparently he's

180
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: doing full drills and he's looking good. It's exciting, that's

181
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: for sure, because he and Marks Mariotte are two quarterbacks

182
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: that could have like tons of late round value. But

183
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: we really need to wait and see how they come

184
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: back from hell. So this is a good sign. Now

185
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: I would like to, like, you know, get some visual

186
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: proof of how well he performed. Mariotta was running around

187
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: and stuff too, but he wasn't doing he was not

188
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: doing a full sprint or anything. I feel like Oakland

189
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: is a team that is the most interesting from a

190
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective um moving forward until the season starts, right,

191
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: and what I mean by that is what they do

192
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: in the draft and what they do with you know,

193
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch or Adrian Peter or whoever whatever running back

194
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: is going to be in that system that could be

195
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: some serious, serious value. Uh Off the Oakland Raiders and

196
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: Adam Rick. I know you were talking about the prospects

197
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: of Marshawn Lynch possibly joining that offense. Oh absolutely, I

198
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: think that if he goes to that team. And I

199
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: this is on me because I thought last week when

200
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: we were going through the motions, I'm Mike, he's never

201
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: coming back. But now it seems that we're closer than

202
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: we ever have and it just comes down to the

203
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: Seahawks making a deal. And if Marshawn Lynch goes to

204
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: that team, I say he gets at least double digit touchdowns,

205
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: I would put him. I would put him running backs

206
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: who I want. And this is going on what I'm

207
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: not even gonna qualify that he's outside of the top

208
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: four for me, for the running backs, the Big four,

209
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: he would be. He would be number five, stop it,

210
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: stop it, Okay, So outside of those four guys, and

211
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: I think it's Marshall because it's all about the Rex

212
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: Burk hid by the way, oh Rex person, not Rex.

213
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: Stop it. Everybody being clip We have done. We have

214
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: one g D player and you guys just can't give

215
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: us enough credit. Four the fourth running back RB four.

216
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: Who's better? Nobody? I don't know, Leshawn mccoyra. What is

217
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: this like two thousand nine, I'm talking about two that's

218
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: a topic. That's a topic for a different a little

219
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: bit too far back. But in any of it, no,

220
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: I think again, whether you think Marshall Lynch is obviously

221
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: not the running back that he was a couple of

222
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: years ago, and that's fine. But when you have a

223
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: great offensive line, and I think most people would agree

224
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders are, if not the best, the second best

225
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: offensive line behind the Dallas Cowboys. You put anybody not

226
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: you put somebody capable behind them, they're going to get

227
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: a lot of production. And that's to me, probably more

228
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: important than watching guys and be like, oh, that's a

229
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: great running back. Like, yeah, there's there's plenty of good

230
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: running backs that are in terrible situations that can never

231
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: really get going. And you put a guy who's capable,

232
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: you put him in that offense and you have other Yeah, exactly,

233
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley would probably be the top running back in

234
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: football if he was playing behind the Raider offensive lines.

235
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: Good point, all right. Speaking of Marshawn Lynch, next week's

236
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: NFL Draft could be the deadline from Marshawn to agree

237
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: to a contract with Oakland. That according to a report

238
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: from NFL media insider Ian Rapport, why well, because quote

239
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: once they the Raiders take a running back, it probably

240
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: will close the door on mars Shawn Lynch. I think

241
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: that's very very interesting. And I would agree with that assessment.

242
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: Uh that's yeah, the the draft. If Marshawn doesn't sign

243
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: by next Thursday, I don't know. I mean how long

244
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: you think Marshawn's gonna play? I mean seriously, like, why

245
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: why would drafting a running back preclude them from bringing

246
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: in Marshawn Lens This is guy who's going to play

247
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: a year maybe two with the most Like I think

248
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: a year. I don't. I don't envision Marshawn and making

249
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: move to Laws Vegas with this team. True? So true? True?

250
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: Why why would drafting or running back preclude them from

251
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: bringing in Marshawn Lynch. You draft a guy and okay,

252
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: maybe he gets fewer carries the first few years while

253
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: you're work, you know why you're getting Marshawn Lynch some run.

254
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: But you know, after a year or two, when he

255
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: is tired for real, for real, for real, for real,

256
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: for real, for real, then you have a healthy, young

257
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: stud in theory running back ready to just jump in

258
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: and play. Well. I guess the thought would be that

259
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: if they could get a running back in the second round,

260
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: that he'd be probably would be a stud. And if

261
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: he's a stud, he probably needs to get a lot

262
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: of burn, not a little bit of burn, Henry Comma, Derek, Yeah,

263
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: but also are the type hold up, but I totally

264
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. But would you say that the

265
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: Titans are a well run organization? Yeah? Now they are?

266
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: Come on, they nearly made the playoffs last year, right,

267
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: turning it around. I'm not saying they're not turning it around,

268
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: but they fell and they fell. I mean they could

269
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: completely look that. The fact that they have three running backs.

270
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: If if they bring in Marshawn, they still have DeAndre Washington,

271
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: Andre Washington, So why would you bring in the fourth

272
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: We literally just had a five minute conversation about the Patriots,

273
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: and they're running backs, right, and everybody wants to be

274
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Why wouldn't they just trying to stockpile a

275
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: bunch of guys and then we'll throw all these running

276
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: backs against the wall and we'll see which one sticks.

277
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: That sounds violent, It does sound violent. Joe Mixon will

278
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: stay with running back news. Joe Mixing, the talented running

279
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: back from Oklahoma that was caught on camera punching a woman,

280
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: could potentially slide into Day three. According to a report

281
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: from Pro Football talk, per Mike Florio. Quote, multiple leak

282
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: sources who have investigated the situation believe that Mixon maybe

283
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: waiting beyond round two or three. At least one source

284
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: has suggested that Mixon possibly won't be drafted at all.

285
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: Close quote Florio also sites are very don't Gil Brandt

286
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: who has Mixing outside of his top one and fifty

287
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: draft prospects. So what does this mean that they know

288
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: something else that we don't know, because otherwise I'm gonna

289
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: need the NFL gms to get together and get their

290
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: morality straight because we here the he could be a

291
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: second day guy, he could be around three guy. He

292
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: might not get drafted. I mean we hear that he

293
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: has people are round one. I mean, this thing is

294
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: is why as it can be. So I'm gonna need

295
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: the general managers of the National Football League to get

296
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: because it's not it's not about ability. It's not about

297
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: ability at all on just straight football ability. He might

298
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: be the best running back in this draft. So I'm

299
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: gonna need you guys to get together, get your morality

300
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: straight to side. Are we taking a stand against Joe

301
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: mix him because we have him on camera punching a

302
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: woman or do we want to just play football and

303
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: bring this guy in and we'll figure out the pr

304
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: because this dancing around and this he might not get

305
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: because even if he doesn't get drafted, he's going to

306
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: play football somewhere. Someone's going to sign him to a

307
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: free agent contract. Let's just let's just equivocate, Let's just

308
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: get it out there, and let's just decide where Joe

309
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Mixon is gonna play football. Well, that's that's really the

310
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: decision for thirty two different owners, and every owner has

311
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: his own set of not values, but has their own

312
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: seven values. Yeah, say, listen, like, there's some teams that

313
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: are gonna be like, absolutely not, He's off the board.

314
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: There some teams and I figured, you know, and I

315
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: sit close to our college draft editor, so I hear

316
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: a lot of things. And there are certain teams that

317
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: just say Joe Mixons not on our board at all.

318
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: And there's other teams who are like, well, I'll wait

319
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: on this. And I know there are some teams who

320
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: have taken chances on players like this in the past,

321
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: didn't realize what it was gonna be like. And now

322
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: we're in a different state of mind where they can't

323
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: do that again. Like well, we got away with it once,

324
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: or we had such a huge backlash for this guy

325
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: that we're not gonna do it again. So I think

326
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: every team has just kind of set a value on him.

327
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: A lot of I would say, I'd say a lot

328
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: of people just will say, you know what, first round pick,

329
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: primetime Thursday night. I can't take that that risk. The

330
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: only team that could do that would be a team

331
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: like the Browns, because the Browns traded back into the

332
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: first round. They have to they have to first they've

333
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: got two first round one and twelve, Like if they

334
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: traded back into the first round and drafted him, and

335
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: then you go to that press conference and you've got Miles, Garrett, Myles,

336
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: Garrett Strabiski, and you got Joe like Joe Mixons one

337
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: of three guys. So it's completely different as opposed to

338
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: if you're another team and like, this is our guy,

339
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: and this is Thursday night and this is the only

340
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: thing you're gonna be able to talk about for twenty

341
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: four hours. Actually, but the way that you drew it up,

342
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: I actually think that that would preclude the Browns from

343
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: doing it, because they want the all the focus to

344
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: be positive on Miles Garrett and Mitch Robisky and this

345
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: is the future blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

346
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: And then maybe they wait until day two or you know,

347
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: maybe day three. Well I could that's because the headline

348
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: would get a little bit buried, right, That's that's possible.

349
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: But you would the big three would be they would

350
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: be connected together. It would be like Draft Days. Like

351
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: I never seen this movie, you know how it goes

352
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: like I just at the end of the day, you're like, oh, look,

353
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: the Browns have laid their foundation, that running back of

354
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: the future, their quarterback and a pass rusher who should

355
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: be great. All right, those are your top headlines. Let's

356
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: bring in a very special guest. We continue our NFL

357
00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live and around the NFL Crossover event. All right,

358
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: we're popping his NFL Fancy Live chairry here. We got

359
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: the great Dan hand Zeus say, well, well, we'll get

360
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: away with it. You would need that would mean that

361
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: somebody actually cared enough about this podcasts to it. There's

362
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: a guy who's the head of the NFL podcast listens

363
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: to every second of every podcast except for this one.

364
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: We even get sweatshirts. You know what's funny is this

365
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: like DDFP got sweatshirt. You guys didn't get seat did no, no,

366
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: some of us what it was. It was not. It

367
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: was making our defense. No one ran it past us.

368
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: We were just handed these shirts. Nobody asked, No one consults.

369
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: The same thing happened with us as well. Nobody all

370
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden they showed up one day, but everyone

371
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: on the podcast got one. Yeah, on those podcasts, right,

372
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: I mean any part of it, rank Rank has kind

373
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: of been an all second edition. He was an off

374
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: season edition. That's true. That's true. I'm not I'm not

375
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: defending on the off season. When did you get these?

376
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: We just got him. I think we're bearing the lead here.

377
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: We have distinguished guests from the studio, right, That's right.

378
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: Is a big part of it's actually James, I yes, sir,

379
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: I'm starting to I've decided to start correcting people on

380
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: this just because Damage. I started this like seven years ago.

381
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: It is hands us like Kansas and and you know,

382
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: I don't rank you. The first time I was ever

383
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: in the studio was on the Dave Damage Football program

384
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: with you and and Dave, and he referred to me

385
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: as hands jus And then try to convince me that

386
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: I should go because it was a stronger name of

387
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: some kind. But birthright, I've gotta from hands with my father.

388
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 1: I gotta it's my name Tansas. But I think it's

389
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: also because you go by the old Juser, which throws

390
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: people off that to see that adds a little wrinkleton.

391
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: Come on, how can you people? You're complicit? Now you are?

392
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 1: Maybe al right, he's part of the Ausser joins us

393
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: Zusser does not quite have the ring to it as

394
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: the Zeuser. I disagree. Excessor is a strong name. The

395
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: reason we have him on the podcast to day, he writes, Uh,

396
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's is it a weekly might

397
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,239
Speaker 1: be more than weekly. A column. It it's like a thing. Now,

398
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: it's a thing. It's the end a round. It's a

399
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: great piece. It's kind of a you know, off the radar. Uh,

400
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: it's it's a culture of the NFL. It is a

401
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: daily blog, but a weekly column. And uh, that's where

402
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: the confusion comes because you see the banner no no, no, listen,

403
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: and I think that I'm I just feel like I

404
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: just don't know Dan's work at all so much. That's

405
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate because here's that's here's what I'll tell you. No,

406
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: it's unfortunately you're missing it said, I will say that

407
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: Dan hand Zeus stuff do it. No, but I'm I'm

408
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: saying he's probably my you know, that's I hate that

409
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: I went to people are so man Bey Pamby about like,

410
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: oh it might be like forget that Dan hands Us

411
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: is my favorite NFL dot com writer even though and

412
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I mean, you're in a room full

413
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: of I love him, no disrespect to anybody else, and

414
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: I love him even though he's kind of veered from

415
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: his clever days to is now I hate the world

416
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: face whatever, I still love him. That is exactly Wait,

417
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: hold on, that is exactly the truth. You the I

418
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: didn't know there was a team in Vegas is that

419
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: was absolutely me showing my ignorance of the NHL scene

420
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: in the year. But the thing is is the Raiders

421
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: have been rumored to be moving to Vegas for the

422
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: last two years at least, so having another professional of

423
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: the major four teams in Las Vegas should at some

424
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: point have crossed your radar, even just barely. Amazingly, we

425
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: are about ten minutes into this interne and for four

426
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: minutes in we'll do it. Well, we'll get there, and

427
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: then you get the thing with the shirts like I

428
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: didn't know NBA fans were the same colored shirt, Like

429
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: I've never walked past his sports bar and the last

430
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: time you process that properly, I acknowledge that that that

431
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: was another end around piece that I wrote where it

432
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: was really good. J J Watt a fan, Yes, no,

433
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: I love you, Adam. J J Waka booed because he

434
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 1: was not wearing a matching shirt at the NBA arena,

435
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: which now you have to do it if you're in

436
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: the hundred seats, especially if your courtside. J J thought

437
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: he was getting the celebrity pass and the jumbo tron

438
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: put him in his place, which was great, and it

439
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: wasn't hating it. I don't know when this became a thing.

440
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: And then the other day he was in there. He

441
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: doesn't even he had never heard of Clayton Kershaw until

442
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: two days ago. I'm not I'm not buying at all.

443
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying you and I'm not buying that in different

444
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: to the to the to the Dodgers, but I at

445
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: least know who Clayton Kershaw is. Do you know who?

446
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: Do you know who? Mike Trout is? Wait to say,

447
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw is one of my favorite baseball player. I'm

448
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: like Dan Dan Hans is a noted baseball fan. Yeah,

449
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: former baseball writer. Once I was stretching, I love it.

450
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: So you think Marcus back Partner has written a wonderful piece,

451
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: as he always does. It's on his end around you

452
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: can find a NFL dot Com right, he talked about

453
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and if I was just I just want

454
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: to keep trucking through, I'm with you, but we got

455
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: let's give Dan his pub here um slash end around.

456
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: Oh man, Uh, your most recent in around piece talk

457
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: to focused on Aaron Rodgers cutting out golf. Yeah, it

458
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: is one of your ten trope commandments. Yeah. Do you

459
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: want to break down what that means and what we

460
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: saw from Aaron Rodgers? Yes. Well, I've been at NFL

461
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: dot com sin's two thousand and ten, and for most

462
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: of those years I was working in the news department,

463
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: where part of the job was to once this time

464
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: of year rolls around, is you know, cranking out five

465
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: or six posts a day about what's happening at O. T, A. S.

466
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: And what you start to notice is the years go by,

467
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: is that it's basically the same stories over and over

468
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: and over again, just with different names and and the

469
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: and the date line or the timeline is updated. So

470
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers coming out and saying last year he had

471
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: another trope which was I'm in the best shape of

472
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: my life because he was starting to follow the Tom

473
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: Brady diet, cutting out a lot of different foods, including cheese,

474
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: which like sacrilege. Yeah, he was working under the what

475
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: he called the eight twenty rule before last year, which

476
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: means healthy and then whatever he wanted, and he eliminated that.

477
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: And now this year he showed up uh this spring

478
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: and said, I now have cut out golf for the

479
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: most part, which was one of his favorite activities. And

480
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: that hits on article eight of the ten Trope Commandment

481
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: Veteran ex colon, I haven't been this healthy in years,

482
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: because he said that because he cut out golf, it

483
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: has allowed his body and replaced golf with other type

484
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: of workouts. It has allowed his body to feel incredible.

485
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: And here's this quote. It's been fun. It's fun to

486
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: be thirty three and feel like I'm in the best

487
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: shape I've been in starting an offseason program. Article eight

488
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: of the ten trope Commandment. You know the best part

489
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: about it when you see the list right here, it

490
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: actually looks like a coach's press conference. But it's like

491
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: a madly or Darrell Patterson looked like he's ready to

492
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: turn the corner. We're extremely excited. Derrick McKinnon, he's you know,

493
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: by the way, Sam Bradford reminds Uh, he reminds Randy Moss,

494
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm a young Bret farm the You could find the

495
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: Trope Commandments again at NFL dot com slash And now

496
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: obviously you write all these pieces tongue firmly in cheek.

497
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: But um in regards to Aaron Rodgers, though, what are

498
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: you kind of you know, projecting for I mean, he's

499
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: I buy into what he's doing. Like I know, it

500
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: is all very cliche, the things he's saying, but he's

501
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: an example of what's happening in the NFL right now.

502
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: People are looking at Tom Brady and looking at how

503
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: he's been able to stay. Tom Brady turning forty in August,

504
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: and I think guys like Aaron Rodgers are going to

505
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: directly benefit from that example. I think that could be

506
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: Brady's like biggest legacy is that he got all these

507
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: guys that were great players to be like, you know,

508
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: once upon a time, like guys would show up with

509
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: spare tires, they smoke in the offseason, and then it

510
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: got to a point where they were taking care of themselves.

511
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: But now these guys are like, wait a second, we

512
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: really got to go the next These are my prime

513
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 1: earning years. I'm thirty three. If I really take care

514
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: of myself, I could be a stud for another five

515
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: to eight years. And they're making a bunch of sacrifices.

516
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: And that's all following the Brady Moss. So basically, what

517
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: you're saying is that because because Tom Brady has not

518
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: had his uh you know, gradual decline, slight regression, um,

519
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: that basically we're going to see a generation of football

520
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: players over the age of about thirty two who turned

521
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: essentially from human beings into soulis football playing robots until

522
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: they decide it is a little boring, and I mean

523
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of I mean, it's great for fantasy though.

524
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: If we get these high, high level producers for another

525
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: five six I would think for somebody like you, Dan

526
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: and the rest of the eight ten guys who have

527
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: to write this, we think you would prefer more Martellis

528
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: Bennett's and fewer Tom Brady's. Yeah, I mean Brady. I

529
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: will say Brady and the Patriots in general. As much

530
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: as I despise them as a Jets fan, they're great copy.

531
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: They're great too because there's always something interesting to write about,

532
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: even you know, ground showing up at Sewan Spices press

533
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: conference that is amazing. They are just constant for a

534
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: team that's famous for, you know, the Patriot way, and

535
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: they're not allowed to have any fun in my world

536
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: the end around, Like of the things that are worth

537
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: writing about this offseason been the Patriots because there's a

538
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: lot of like kind of interesting angles to them, whether

539
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: it's Brady or Gronk or Belichick or Edelman or you

540
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: know any other you know, uh player on the team

541
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: that kind of is out and about right now. Has

542
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: been kind of a huge story to suit. By the way,

543
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: at that that white House thing was pretty impressive, pretty

544
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: on point. It looks like a starting quarterback. He's ready.

545
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: Pique Lapel's like he's ready to be a starter in

546
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: the state right hashtag trance because all Eastern Illinois quarterback.

547
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks can dress well, Dan, I have a question for

548
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: you of these tropes. Obviously you had to sift through

549
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: a lot to compile the full Commandments. What is your

550
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: favorite to to see pop up in the in the

551
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: headlines or what one makes you makes you chuckle the most,

552
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: or or crack the knuckles before you start right in

553
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: the post of that makes me roll my eyes the

554
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,239
Speaker 1: most is always draft Buck bust X looks like he's

555
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: ready to turn in the corner. Because and just because

556
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: I wrote about the tropes last year as well, and

557
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: I found an article where I had cited some examples,

558
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: and Hugh Jackson this time last year said that Justin

559
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: Gilbert looks sensational and was ready to finally earn his

560
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: stripes in Cleveland. Uh. And then the other one, this

561
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: one is kind of more a sad one, but it's

562
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: just the fact that it pops up with such frequency.

563
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Player X, I'm better now than I was before devastating

564
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: lower body injury. Yes, I'm just we're waiting for Adrian

565
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: Peterson to drop that right. Yeah, that's coming. Was maybe

566
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: the patron saint of article nine, But that one is

567
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: always out there, and I quite enjoy it. It's great.

568
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: By the way, you talk about these guys becoming soulless

569
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: football roll. It's not like Aaron Rodgers is boring this offseason.

570
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's doing workouts with Nick Jonasan was Hollywood.

571
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's plenty to write about here. He got dumped.

572
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: That was his most impressive feat. It was the biggest

573
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: thing he did this season. Is that? Is that the

574
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: theory that he got dumped? He got dumped? I know mine,

575
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: but I didn't know that. I thought it was a

576
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: mutual scenario, a conscious uncoupling, if you would. Perhaps mayhaps

577
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: that is the case. But uh well, this is what

578
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: my wife tells me. And I don't know. But my

579
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: wife says, Oliviamn broke up with Aaron Rodgers. I buy it. Okay, alright, wow,

580
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: what an April? What an April episode? Here? Diving into

581
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: the I just we're just talking about stories, you know what, actually,

582
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: And I could be totally wrong on that. I have

583
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: no idea, and I don't. I don't read US weekly,

584
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: but my wife does religiously, so I don't know at all.

585
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: All right, Uh we do? Uh Dan hands us, Yes,

586
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: that is the old the foremost authority on the Hard

587
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: Knocks franchise. Yes, we have a new uh, we have

588
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: a new team Tampa. But let's go, let's break it down.

589
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: What do you think like, Uh, let's be honest. Last

590
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: year with the l A Rams a little bit not great.

591
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: I'll be completely honest. If you guys didn't even finish it,

592
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: it was it was among the worst seasons. And you know,

593
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: the Bucks. To me, it's a lot of promise. And

594
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: I wrote about this. This is my um most recent

595
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: column that that just went up. It's on NFL dot

596
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: COM's homepage right now if you want to check it out.

597
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: On I wrote about the reasons why to be excited

598
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: about the Bucks. The number one jamis Winston. It's kind

599
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: of catnip for Hard Knocks producers when they have a

600
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: quarterback that's kind of young and charismatic. And Winston as

601
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: an imperfect person as he is, as we know for

602
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: some of his past and also as recently as some

603
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: poor advice he gave to the youth of America. Uh,

604
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: not a perfect person, but all the filter, yeah, the

605
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: warts at all make him a really compelling sty for

606
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 1: this type of documentary, Far better than Jared Goff. Last year.

607
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: What did you call it the bro of fact or

608
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: something like that. Well, I just remember golf like they

609
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: were really like, you know, grasping at straws. They had

610
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: him just hanging out with his bro on a matching

611
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: recliners watching TV like Winston is gonna be a lot

612
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: more interesting, you got Uh. I'm not excited about Mike

613
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: Smith being back on Hard Knocks. He was on the

614
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: RAM season in is it Tivas you never knew? Don't

615
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: call him Tiva's. That's just me. Tiva's are back. But

616
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: it'd be interesting to how the Doug Martin situation plays out.

617
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to talk about a fantasy stud

618
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: who killed people last year? When was he drafted in

619
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: a lot of drafts last year? Second? Nd, oh my god,

620
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: can you even imagine being stuck with Doug Martin one

621
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: of them. There's also a possibility they could end up

622
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: with somebody like Dalvin Cook, which could make that thing

623
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: really spicy. Yeah, and he and Martin's making some money,

624
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: so it's like he could he could get cut and

625
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: that's a to see a star player get cut is

626
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: is pretty juicy. And then I love I love the

627
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Kicker fight. Yeah, I'm so excited about this. You think

628
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm a hater, No, no, Adam, I and I brought

629
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: up one of your positive columns. Yeah. Roberto Aguayo, one

630
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: of the few, uh, one of the great bus potentially

631
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: of all time, now having to fight for his job

632
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: and his dignity against a very accomplished veteran, Nick Falk,

633
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: who got seven fifty thousand guaranteed to sign with the Bucks.

634
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: So this is not a farce. This is an actual

635
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: battle with Aguayo's um reputation at stake. He's done. Jason

636
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: Light he was the man that traded up to get Aguayo,

637
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: so he might have to be on camera when they

638
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: decide they have to cut loose the second round pick

639
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: in year two. That was a kicker. It's legitimately great

640
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: storyline and I trust Hard Knocks producers to get this right.

641
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: How about that's a lot of fun. How about if

642
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: they go off the board and to keep both kickers?

643
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: So God, please, now let's go off the board. That

644
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: is off the board, kicker, community, We're gonna go with

645
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: the hot foot that's getting the most most of your

646
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: draft pick for sure. Alright, all right, well, should we

647
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: let Dan get back to it? I mean, he's got

648
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: drunk popping up in the White House, press briefings and

649
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: other things to document him, and he hasn't already. Great

650
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: a little tease for you around the NFL podcast. Please

651
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: all right, see you later. I actually I've heard, but

652
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: continue this bigness. We are going to have the Car

653
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 1: Brothers on today's show to work out Derek Carr blocked

654
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: me on Twitter. Wait and wait, you have both brothers

655
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: and David try to work out a piece. Derek, why

656
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: did you that's part of That's what we're gonna find out.

657
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: That's a tease. Can we at least we should? I'm

658
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: now convinced now more than every man. I have you

659
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: back because I think gonna have it. If you knew,

660
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have the Car Brothers on to talking. I

661
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: have no idea, you have no idea. Was also blocked.

662
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: I've been I've been beatot by famous people like outside

663
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: of here, humble, inside of here, h and I always

664
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: want to know what the trigger was, like that's this

665
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: is I bet he doesn't remember. Maybe it doesn't. Is

666
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: this a podcast series as well? It's just people who

667
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: blocked me on Twitter? Right, The famous people who have

668
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: blocked me on Twitter. Let's figure this out. One of

669
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: them we might be able to get a hold of.

670
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe maybe that's that's a tease too. Yeah, and

671
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: one lesson of the two. I'll say one of them

672
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: I've already I've already said. One of them is Bill Simmons.

673
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: He's blocked you. Oh yeah, but he's a Boston guy.

674
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: And the Lakers and Celtics and Adam and Adam Rank

675
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: has admitted to to drunk tweeting at Bill Simmonds. I

676
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: probably listen Twitter. Here's what I said two thousand nine.

677
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: Twitter started, the Celtics and Lakers played in the playoffs,

678
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: the Angels swept the Red Sox. I'm like, it's it's

679
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: probably pretty easy to pinpoint the area of where I

680
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: drew the line. It's a prominent block right there. All right,

681
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: that's good, And I just need to relay this place

682
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: from my podcast that I got a text from Mark

683
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: Sessler not eight minutes ago. Tell the Fantasy podcast that

684
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: they are on Fantasy Corners Radar, Mark, who is on

685
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: our Fantasy Corner on our show. One of my favorite segments,

686
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,479
Speaker 1: I have gotten some deep knowledge from the Fantasy corn

687
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: and I think it directly ties back to Alex what

688
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: you were wondering about before we started taping. Yes, that,

689
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: now that every other member of the Around the NFL

690
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: Podcast has been on the show, don't you don't want

691
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: to get a Sessler's radar that I love Mark. I

692
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: love Mark Sessler. Get we'll get him. We'll get him soon.

693
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's let Dan get out of here.

694
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 1: Dan thing, thanks for having fun times from the Around

695
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: the NFL Live, but the Around the NFL Podcast. I'm

696
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: so used to saying our own podcast, Dann. We appreciate it, man.

697
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: All right, here we go again. Find his work at

698
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: NFL dot com, slash and around and download the Around

699
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. It's the flagship podcast from the NFL media.

700
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: Wait is it really? I see now we're gonna hear

701
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: from Damna check about it. Oh, I'm sorry. Let's just

702
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: let's go look at those numbers. Numbers. Can we have

703
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: the numbers? A t N crushes everything else? Like legitimately,

704
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: I think you could add up every other podcast and

705
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: a t N beats it. Who's number two? That would

706
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: be us? In season? It's definitely us right now. I

707
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: think I think Damnaek might be beating us a little bit.

708
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: And this has moved the Sticks season two. So I

709
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: feel like, true, I feel like we should start a

710
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: beef with another podcast around here to see if it

711
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: will boost our numbers. I feel like the and They'll

712
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: just kick us back under the car on the into

713
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: the cupboard. I feel like the A T N move

714
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: the Sticks beef has done a lot for both of

715
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: those pods. That's true. It's like an old hip hop move, right, exactly,

716
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: create a little beef. We'll do. Marshall and Michael the

717
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: Couches show should be all right, should we get back

718
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: to the rest of the show. All right, let's do

719
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: it all right, let's get back to a little bit more.

720
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: You know, and and Alex Kale Hard love to pick

721
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: your brain on this. You know, we talked about Aaron Rodgers,

722
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: I guess for a little bit there. Uh, anytime I

723
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: brought him on to talk about Aaron Rodgers and we

724
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 1: talked about Aaron Rodgers for what all thirty seconds? Yeah,

725
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: we pretty much talked about everything else other than I

726
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: think we talked about Clayton Kershaw more than we talked

727
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: about an everything. But anyways, your question about Aaron rod

728
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: Uh can we fully anticipate him to be the clear

729
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: cut quarterback one in fantasy draft. I don't think there's

730
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: any question. I mean, aside from the one anomaly year,

731
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 1: Ineen Rodgers has finished first or second in fantasy points.

732
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: Every year he's been a starter and has not been

733
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: injured another four thousand and forty touchdowns. Lock it up?

734
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: Why not? I mean it's he's he has both I

735
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: think the combination of the highest ceiling of the quarterbacks

736
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: out there and the safest floor. Like even bad Aaron Rodgers,

737
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: like his catastrophic year, he finishes the quarterback eight, quarterbacks six,

738
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: I think quarterback six. So there's there's no question to

739
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: me he should be the number one quarterback taking he

740
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: offers you stuff with the legs, and he's got the best,

741
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: the best arm, and one of the best receiving corps

742
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: in the league. All Right, there you go. We'll stay

743
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: with you. Alex Kalahar, you wrote a great piece of you,

744
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: and Marcus Grant wrote a great piece your dream fantasy fits. Well,

745
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,959
Speaker 1: start at the running back position. Um, you talked about

746
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nett going to Oakland as a dream fit.

747
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: Why direct? Well, this is this is dream fit. This

748
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: is not steeped in reality. And when you look at

749
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: what Oakland did last year in Latavius, Murray barely averaged

750
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: four yards and carry still had I think twelve total

751
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: touchdowns behind that offensive line that can move heaven and earth.

752
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: If you put it back like Leonard Fournett in there,

753
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: I think he could have a ton of success, both

754
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: in all the goal line scoring opportunities that offense would

755
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: afford him with the talented playmakers around him, and just

756
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: in the space that that offensive line could create. It

757
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: seems like a dream fit. Murray did pretty well in

758
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 1: there as kind of a size speed combo for Nets

759
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: a better size speed combo. He can still catch passes.

760
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: Some people worry that for Net wouldn't be able to

761
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: run out of the gun as much, but he ran

762
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: out of the gun a few amount of times and

763
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: did quite well with it in college as well. Plus,

764
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: I think people are forgetting that Oakland ran so much

765
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: more out of the gun last year because Derek Carr's

766
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: pinky injury. That's true. Uh, you know you talk about

767
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: it not being steeped in reality. I'm not saying that

768
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: he will fall to twenty four this and that's where

769
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: Oakland picks. There's like zero percent chance. That's not zero,

770
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: it's not zero. There's talking he could fall out of

771
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: the version. It's it's really not a zero percent chance

772
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: because I talk is what I saw in James Coast timeline. Yeah, yeah,

773
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: that's probably what I was. No, no, no, I mean, look,

774
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville right now, Jacksonville is is you know a lot

775
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,479
Speaker 1: of our NFL dot com guys have have slated Leonard

776
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: Fournet to go to Jacksonville at four. I'm not I'm

777
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: not a dent convinced that that's actually everybody you if

778
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: you go and look at other mock drafts, because it

779
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: seems like our main guys and I'm on the Mock

780
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: Draft Live show, like everybody the top four was the

781
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: exact same, and I'm like, it can't be this way.

782
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: I agree, it's not this season. And and I don't know,

783
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: I'm not totally convinced Jacksonville is looking at running back

784
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: in the top four spots, not with all the defensive

785
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: um studs that are that are going to be available.

786
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: And then Carolina at eight, I think is also a

787
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: good fit for Leonard Fournette, but they need some secondary help.

788
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a decent secondary player there.

789
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: Uh at if he falls out of eight, then it

790
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: just starts getting crazy interesting, right like at fifteen. Are

791
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: the Colts gonna go running back? I mean they could,

792
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: they could, I mean the Bengals. The Bengals could use

793
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: running back. Doubt they're not going to take one in

794
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: the first round exactly exactly right, and then and then

795
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: and then what's left Tampa Bay. I don't think he's

796
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: a scheme fit there for Derek Cutter. I think they

797
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: go Dalvin Cook if he's available, which I think he

798
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: will be. I don't think him falling at twenty four

799
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: is out of the realm possibility, by the way I

800
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: read that, And I know you were kind of, you know,

801
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: hedging your bets a little bit, but man, I'm I

802
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: think he could actually fall totally not saying that it's

803
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: likely to happen, but it's definitely within the realm possibility.

804
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: I'll say that. You also talked about Christian McCaffrey possibly

805
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: going to the aforementioned Indiapolis called a wonderful fit that

806
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: works on so many levels. This team desperately needs a

807
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: running back. I mean, they were giving a ton of

808
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: carries to Robert Turban last year, who is already getting

809
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: offseason hype about having a bigger workload. Not buying it.

810
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: It's total smoke screen the ages. Frank Gore is there,

811
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: but man that he's coming off of a touch season.

812
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: He turns, he turns thirty four in May. So they

813
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: need help and McCaffrey could come in. And Luck has

814
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: really never had a super dynamic pass catching back like

815
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: McCaffrey would provide him. I mean he had like Vick

816
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: Ballard for a hot minute there, and but he was

817
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: never Ballard was effective to Ballad was effective. He was

818
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: a decent fantasy back there. So you put McCaffrey in

819
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 1: eight games on the fast track at Lucas Oil Stadium,

820
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: in a in a high flying, fast offense with the

821
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: likes of t Y Helton, Dante Moncrief on the outside

822
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: of Andrew Luck under center. This guy, this guy could

823
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: be just a yardage monster. I agree. I agree if

824
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: he If McCaffrey goes to Indianapolis, watch out. I mean,

825
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: like like watching a total yard like That's what I'm saying.

826
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it a lot. You've also

827
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: said Joe Mix into Green Bay, we we didn't talk

828
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: about where he would go, what round he would go.

829
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: But why mix into green Bay? Well, I think he mixing.

830
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: As Marcus mentioned, is one of the most complete and

831
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: talented backs in this class. He's got amazing hand, he

832
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: can run out of the backfield, He's he's got power,

833
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: he's got speed, he's got patience and vision coming through

834
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: the line. And that's what green Bay needs right now,

835
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: is a complete back. I love time Montgomerney, and he

836
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: showed he can run between the tackles effectively. But I

837
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: mean he's a converted wide receiver and he's he's yoked,

838
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: he's got he's you know, he's a pretty big guy

839
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: for his size. But Nixon would just be the total package.

840
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he'd be the best parts of Eddie Lacy

841
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: and the best parts of Time on Goovern he kind

842
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: of combined into one. All right. So there you go.

843
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: And then you say, Dante Foreman to Carolina, the big,

844
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: the big bruising back out of Texas going to Carolina,

845
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: which I think is a great fit too. Right, this

846
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: is assuming that they don't draft uh target the position earlier.

847
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: But if they want to wait and get a good

848
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: compliment to Jonathan Stewart. I know I mentioned this in

849
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: Harmon is not a big fan of Foreman, and he's like,

850
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: I don't want this because well he's like, yeah, he's

851
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: gonna replace him man for now. For now, he'll replace

852
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: him down the line. But they've resigned Stewart on a

853
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: cap friendly extension for like one more year, so they

854
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: come in. But Foreman works really well. I mean, he

855
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: ran through a lot of wide open space in that

856
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: Texas offense, and some of the some of the runs

857
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: that they'd use in Caroline, especially the zone read plays,

858
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: could give him the open spaces to really get going

859
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: and punish defenders in the second level because he's a great,

860
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: great size speed combo, you know. And and also around

861
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: the goal line, they won't have to go to Campa.

862
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: We saw them shy away from giving Cam Newton goal

863
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: line carries, right if this guy would be perfect for that.

864
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: They've actually I tweeted this out and I see if

865
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: I can't find it real quick. It was a little

866
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: while ago, but they've been leaning away from using Cam

867
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: as often at the goal line for a few years now. Um,

868
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: they've been giving more and more carries to Jonathan Stewart,

869
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: if I can continue to see mixed results two solid

870
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: results like Stewart's been been doing well in those opportunities.

871
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: But all right, I can't find oh here it is

872
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: so uh yeah, over the last three years, Stewart has

873
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: had uh thirty rush attempts inside the five to twenty

874
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: for cam and what was the conversion rate for I

875
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: don't have that. Those were just the numbers. But Stewart,

876
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: you've seen his touchdown totals go up in recent as well.

877
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: All Right, so there you go. We'll we'll switch over

878
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position now again. Dream fantasy fits

879
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: for wide receiver prospects. Marcus Grant wrote this one. You

880
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: you wrote that Mike Williams, they talented wide receiver from

881
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: Clemson going to Seattle, would be a good fit. One. Absolutely,

882
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: they are looking for, I think a big body, athletic

883
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 1: guy who can play on the outside and be searching

884
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: for this forever forever, you know, And you know Jermaine

885
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: Curs has been okay, he's passable out there. I know

886
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: they really you know, he's made some big catches and

887
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: big games, you know, I know they're hoping that somebody

888
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: like Paul Richardson could step up and really fill that role.

889
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: But Mike Williams, I think is a nice compliment to

890
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: put him on the outside with Doug Ballen working in

891
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: the slot being productive. Um, you know, and you know,

892
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a jump ball specialist, but

893
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 1: Williams is very good at going up and high pointing

894
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: the football, which means he could be a nice guy

895
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: down field. Uh, you know, especially in those Russell Wilson

896
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: scramble drills. You know, you get Russ running around there,

897
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: you get Mike Williams kind of breaking loose and making

898
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: plays down the field. I think it's an interesting pairing.

899
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's good, especially because the

900
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: way Clemson through the ball to DeShawn Watson obviously had

901
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: a lot of timing rounds, but he did break huddle

902
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: um and break the pocket quite a bit and had

903
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: to search for a guy. I think Mike Williams has

904
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: a little bit experience in that scrambled drill too, So

905
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: I I like that fit um a lot. How about

906
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: Corey Davis to Baltimore? Why why that fit? Uh? The

907
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens. You know, just looking at that that offense,

908
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: there's nothing about it that is exciting. UM, Corey Davis

909
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: is super exciting. He's he's super exciting. He's exciting with

910
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: the football in his hand. He's a guy who can

911
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 1: be downfield and that adds a little bit more speed

912
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: to this group. To have he and Mike Wallace together,

913
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of a one two punch. It's more interesting.

914
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: I think it's really really interesting. You've got a quarterback

915
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: in Joe Flacco with a big arm who likes to

916
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: go down the field. Corey Davis, I think can be

917
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: a more dynamic version of what they had hoped to

918
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: get out of Tory Smith. I know Brashot Pereman is

919
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: still hanging around there, and uh, you know, talking tropes

920
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: with with Dan hansis uh, he's one of the player

921
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,959
Speaker 1: who's going to break out potentially. You know, I feel

922
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: like I feel like bad Perriman fits into one UM.

923
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: It's true. But in the meantime, I think, you know,

924
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: having Davis and Wallace, who played pretty well last year

925
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 1: as your top two pass catchers coming in the season,

926
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: UM makes that offense a little bit more dynamic than

927
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: it looks right now. On the bottom line is it's

928
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: never a bad thing to give Joe Flacca more deep targets, right,

929
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean at all. I mean he's one of the

930
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: best deep ball guys in the league. To give him

931
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: more options there wherever it comes from, I think it's

932
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: probably a pretty damn good idea. You said John Ross

933
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: to Tennessee would be a good fit. I think that

934
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: makes too much sense. They just need more speed. They

935
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: need more speed in that wide receiving corps um. You know,

936
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: we saw some We've seen some good things from some

937
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: of the guys, the ever Shard, Matthews and every now

938
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: and then Kendall Wright would rise up and make a

939
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: couple of plays, but they just flat out and needs speed. Um.

940
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: And you know, John Ross does a lot of things,

941
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: but if there's one thing you know about him, it

942
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: is that he is felt. He is fast. So putting

943
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: him there when with Murriotta, who went down field quite

944
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: a bit last year, was that When I looked at

945
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,280
Speaker 1: the numbers, it surprised me how how often Mariotta went downfield.

946
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 1: So putting him with John Ross, I think would be

947
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: a nice group, all right. And the Cooper Cup to Chicago, um,

948
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is not he was the guy that obviously

949
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: was a Senior Bowl Darling and he got some early

950
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: hype and then he went to the combine and I

951
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: think he ran a five nine? What do you running?

952
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: He's still running? Is he not? It was, it was

953
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: still trying to finish it. I think by the way, um,

954
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, and and Matt Harmon has referred to him,

955
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,720
Speaker 1: I think fairly as kind of a big slot receiver,

956
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: sort of in the mold of Jordan Matthews. And I

957
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: think you for a team that's sort of rebuilding its

958
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: wide receiving corps, trying to build it around Cameron Meredith. Um,

959
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, they have been foisting Eddie Royal upon us

960
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: as a slot receiver option for a few years now.

961
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: And uh, are he's gonna get cut? Yeah? Probably, And

962
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: we're not. We're not. We haven't been buying it. We

963
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: haven't been biting on that. Don see why I think

964
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup can slide in there. Dude's got great hands.

965
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I say what you want about a

966
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: speed dudes got phenomenal hands. To put him there as

967
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: kind of a safety net underneath for Mike Glenn and

968
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: I think would be would be pretty good. Adam Rank

969
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: your your reaction if they did take Cooper Cup somewhere

970
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: in around you know, three or four five. Now, it's

971
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: a good spot for him. I really hope that they're

972
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna continue to address the defensive side of the football

973
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: for them. Help there. Man. They they were pretty decent

974
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: last year. They weren't bad. They weren't as bad off.

975
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 1: I think they have some young guys developing a lot.

976
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: A lot of it's gonna have, uh is, a lot

977
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: of it's gonna be depending on what the forty Niners

978
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: do at number two. Okay, Jamal Adams seems like a

979
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: pretty good idea for them, sure. I know Lattam Moore

980
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: has been connected with them as well, and of course

981
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: some of the interior linemen. Uh So there's there's a

982
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: whole hodgepodge of guys, and there's I feel like they

983
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: could go defensive line, like right off the bat, because

984
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be safety help later on in the draft,

985
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: depending on who falls and who rises. But if Cooper

986
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: Cup goes as your cogo, does he pair well with Cameron?

987
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah. We wanted to talk about the offensive guys,

988
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: so that's that's what matters. Um. I do like it, Yeah,

989
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: I know, Um, I've been defending Cooper Cup for a

990
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: long time now ever since he emerged from the from

991
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl, because again I would rather take what

992
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: I saw him doing in a game as opposed to

993
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: what he was doing in his underwear. Like it just

994
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: to me, it's like he's a good football player, Like

995
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: the Bears need some fine football players, and I think that,

996
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, he just if you want to use the

997
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: phrase slow footed white guy, I go. I think that. Uh,

998
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: sometimes those students pay off, all right, So there you go.

999
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: And finally, Chris Godwin, the Penn state wide receiver, was

1000
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: really making a lot of noise here. You say, is

1001
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: a good fit for Cleveland? Yeah, I think, you know,

1002
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: building a young wide receiving corps there with Corey Coleman

1003
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: and Chris Godwin on the outsides could be really really

1004
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: interesting there. I mean, they still have to figure out

1005
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: their quarterback situation and I think that's going to have

1006
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: a big impact on it. But um, you know, I

1007
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: think Godwin is one of those sneaky plays that you'll

1008
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 1: get him second day probably sometime and could really step

1009
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: in and produce right away. Uh. He's another one who

1010
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: I know has become a favorite of our reception percept

1011
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: of those five guys there, who what's the most you know,

1012
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: you talk about dream fantasy fits. What what is a

1013
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: realistic fit? Which one of these teams could really land

1014
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: these guys that you're talking about. I think the most

1015
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: realistic is probably John Ross the Tennessee. Yeah. I think

1016
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: that's the one that that everybody's looking at. That that

1017
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: could be a Thursday night sort of thing for those

1018
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: two teams. All right, I like it. All Right, let's

1019
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: close out your show as we always do with around

1020
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: Daily DAPs. Depth does not depth, all right, Dailey DAP

1021
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: time We'll start with MG my got Marcus Grant? What

1022
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: you got? You know what Daily DAPs to? Uh the

1023
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: new Gander of Lamar album. Oh my god, damn that's

1024
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: the name of the album that is that's not just them,

1025
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: it is both the name and the reviews. Uh. Yeah.

1026
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: I had was spending that all weekend as I was,

1027
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, going around the Los Angeles. I think Humble

1028
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: is My is probably the best hip hop single that

1029
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,760
Speaker 1: has come out over the last in at least two years. Wow,

1030
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: that's a big statement. That is in the video. It's

1031
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: so good. It's a it's a fine song. Um, but yeah,

1032
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: the the album is is there were there was speculation,

1033
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: rumor and in the window that maybe he would come

1034
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: out with another one to like in short order, really

1035
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: a companion piece. But you know that's it's it's an

1036
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: internet hip hop. You know how those are. So you know,

1037
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: I don't know how much stock you want to put

1038
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: into that, but either way, it is on It's on Spotify,

1039
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: but go buy it. Um. Just this is my plea

1040
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: that if you, if you find something or someone who

1041
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 1: creates something that you enjoy, like, pay for it because

1042
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: that's how they that's how they afford to create more

1043
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: things that you enjoy. Yeah, but I look, you're fine,

1044
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand. Yes, it's great to get

1045
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: things for free or close to free. No. Well, what

1046
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, though, Marcus, was these artists, actually

1047
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: I think they care less about the CD sales. It's

1048
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: more that's more for their ego. It's like, oh yeah,

1049
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: I have a platinum selling artist. They make their money

1050
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: off a concert. So I was gonna say, if you

1051
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: like Kendrick, go to a weekend you can see them

1052
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: all right there you go, Boom, I like it, Alex

1053
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: galhard what you got? I want to give a daily

1054
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: DAP to uh the memory of Pat Tilman, slash the

1055
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: Pat Tilman Foundation. I'm running for the first time the

1056
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: Pat Tilman Pat Tilman's Run. Pat's Run four point two

1057
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: mile run, so it's a little longer than five cakes

1058
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: used to wear forty two And the proceeds go to

1059
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: his foundation and do a lot of things like that.

1060
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: But he's just a really cool figure in NFL history,

1061
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: especially especially for especially for younger fans who might not

1062
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: have watched him play. Like I remember, I was a

1063
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: big fan of the NFL one Pat was on the field,

1064
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: and then the big story of him going to serve

1065
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: and you know, passing away in service for America. And

1066
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of great features and stories and

1067
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: other things done about him. I know, Adam, you're a

1068
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: You're a big, big fan of everything of his legacy

1069
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: in his work as well. But my top pin tweet

1070
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: is it's it's still about pet Town or did you

1071
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: just switch it? But it's awesome and the run the like,

1072
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: the proceeds go to charity. Like I said, you can

1073
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: donate extra. I think the NFL helped organize try and

1074
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 1: get more people there. So I'm gonna go down to

1075
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: Hermosa Beach on Saturday morning and run for it. But

1076
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 1: I just encourage all of you to read more about it.

1077
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: Pet Tilman Foundation dot org. I think I'm assuming most

1078
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: of the runs are already booked up, but there are

1079
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: a bunch around the country. Um, Chicago, Madison, Indianapolis, Houston,

1080
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, Denver, Minneapolis, so check your city. Pat Tilman

1081
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 1: Foundation dot org has all that info. But daily depths

1082
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: to Pat. All he did for the NFL are our

1083
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: country and the legacy that he's still still building. There

1084
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:42,879
Speaker 1: you go. I love it all right. I'm gonna give

1085
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: that Hermosa one I want to do. I want to

1086
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: go out to Tampa and do the actually one big

1087
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: one at some point makes sense you finish on the

1088
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: forty two yard line at sun Devil Stadium. Oh is

1089
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah? Well that's cool. It's pretty cool. Alright,

1090
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: I should just let's plan on that for next year.

1091
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: Let's you and I right now just decide. He's talking

1092
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: to Alex Keller. He's definitely all of the listeners. All

1093
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: the listeners because the NFL we used to do something like,

1094
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: they used to organize it for us, and now I'm

1095
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: super lazy because we got an email about it. That's

1096
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: why I'm doing the one in her most because it

1097
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: reminded me about it. Was it an NFL? I got

1098
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: an NFL email at some point about it? Yeah, because

1099
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: I used to just hook it up and be like, yeah,

1100
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: if you guys just sign up, you can come down

1101
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,720
Speaker 1: and do it. Okay, I might just do it anyways,

1102
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: like who cares? Just show up down let's start running,

1103
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: Like who cares? Who's gonna gonna get out of here?

1104
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 1: Who's going to stop down there? I don't have an

1105
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 1: official BIB. I'm still running. I'm not going to have

1106
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: the shirt less embarrassed. I like it. Um. I will

1107
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: give a daily depth out to Memphis head coach Memphis

1108
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: Grizzlies head coach David Fizdale, who gave one of the

1109
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: more epic coaching postgame rants of all time. Uh one

1110
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 1: of recently. Yeah, I've totally met. I'm not following. I

1111
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: usually tune in the NBA playoffs, like second round, I

1112
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: got you, I got you. This coaching rant, oh man,

1113
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: this postgame rant by Fizdale class take that for data

1114
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: has become the new meme. That's that's the new one.

1115
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: So he closes out his interview or his his postgame

1116
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: interview with take that for for data. Um. But the

1117
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: one I personally enjoyed the most was he him telling

1118
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: the the the the universe that yes he is, you know,

1119
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: a younger coach compared to Greg Popovich on the other sideline.

1120
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: But but the referees, they ain't gonna rook us. Then

1121
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: rook us as soon as I'm done, We're done with

1122
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: this podcast. I'm listening to this right. Oh man, the

1123
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: David Fizdale ran so uh definitely definitely adapts to him. Undap,

1124
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to grow a Clippers playoff beard. All right,

1125
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,479
Speaker 1: this is seven days in odd, this is seven days

00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 1: in it for it's not working. It's very much stubble um.

1127
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: And I say that as someone who working, who can't

1128
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 1: grow facial hair. That dude, you can't grow facially Yeah,

1129
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: it makes me feel better about my I mean, that's

1130
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 1: the reaction. That's pretty. It's like I'm growing out a

1131
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: Clippers playoff beard. Oh are you that's pretty? That's pretty.

Speaker 1: It just looks like your face is dirty. That's pretty.

1133
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 1: The incredulous pitch raise at the end of the question exactly,

1134
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: So on depth to that. We only have to work

1135
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: on it for another week or so. Come on, bro,

1142
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: So rude? Uh. This is surprising to some people because

1143
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: I had this conversation with lands Arline yesterday. I'm I'm

1144
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: a I was born in Chicago, I was not raised there.

1145
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,919
Speaker 1: The Bears are the only team from the second city

1146
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: where I raised the flag him. Although I am a

1147
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: big CM punk fan, um, but I do want to

1148
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: give depths to the Chicago Bulls for going up to

1149
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: Oh hell, yeah, I don't know what's coal. Yeah, I

1150
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: don't know if that's gonna play out or what's gonna happen.

1151
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: You could ask, You could legitimately ask Matt Tanton, who

1152
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: was a producer uh for NFL Network as well. I

1153
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: was telling him before the playoffs started. I was like,

1154
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: don't be surprised if the Bulls pulled this upset and

1155
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: he's like, nah, they're not that good. I'm like, bro,

1156
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: it is a matchup freaking nights. They're the one seed,

1157
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: Chicago's the eight seed. It's the first time since and

1158
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: eight seed has gone up two oh on seed. It's

1159
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: because the bulls right now are Marquette South. They got

1160
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade and Jimmy Buckett. Hey, there you go, there,

1161
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: there it is. I love it all right? What else

Speaker 1: is he? Yeah? I've actually um just started following him.

1164
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: But he's amusing and he had a nice one today

1165
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: because they the Astros mascot pulled a little prank on

1166
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: Mike Trout and uh, Syndergarde had a fun responsor, So

1167
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: go look, let us go follow him. He's pretty fin

1168
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: Oh you know what? And uh the Fantasy hipsters now

1169
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: have their own uh own handle. Oh they do, so

1170
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: adapts to them. If you haven't, what's the Twitter account

1171
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: fantasy at Fantasy Hipsters. At Fantasy Hipsters, find that out.

1172
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 1: I would like to give some depths to Star Wars Rebels.

1173
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: I have finally made it through the end of season three.

1174
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: I've caught up on everything. Very nice conclusion. As they're

1175
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: heading into season four, which is gonna be their final one.

1176
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: There's only three seasons that uh, there's just three seasons,

1177
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: and they're limited with how much time they have, like

1178
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: Rogue one, they're gonna shoot past a little bit past

1179
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: Rogue one. I think, well, because the ghost is in

1180
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: Rogue one. I'm not giving away any spoilers. Ghost is

1181
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: in Rogue one, so they at least make it that

1182
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: that ship makes it that far. And it's really good,

1183
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: and it's one of those things. I know, this Bob

1184
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: this this kind of bothers me too, because I know

1185
00:59:55,200 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 1: somebody who's a purported okay, And I was talking about

1186
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: some of the characters and like, who is that? And

1187
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: I said, as Katana, everybody knows who this. She's the

1188
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: main protagonist from Clone Wars, as Rip Bridger and Sabine

1189
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Ran or the two main characters. There's five, but they're

1190
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 1: the two main ones, uh, and that and then they no,

1191
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: well that's I don't get into that. So I'm like,

1192
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: that's okay. Then don't say that you're a huge Star

1193
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: Wars fan, because it's the same thing that if you

1194
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: showed up to a super Bowl party and you're like,

1195
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: I had the hugest hugest Patriots fan. You're like, hey,

1196
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: what do you think about Danniel Madeloy, Like, I have

1197
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: no idea who that is. I only watch the super Bowl.

1198
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: That's all. That's the only that's all the thing that matters,

1199
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: the only thing, And that's how I feel about the movie.

1200
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Only people for Star Wars. In speaking of that Star

1201
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Wars trailer, pretty good, Last Jedi, pretty good, pretty gosh

1202
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: star and amazing, not giving away too much, giving you

1203
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: enough to really bring you in the thought of the

1204
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: thought of last Jed. And again like when he's when

1205
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker is talking about it's time for the Jedia,

1206
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: and there's two possible ways that could mean, Like he

1207
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: could mean it. How we all think, like I want

1208
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: the Jedi to go away because there are elements of

1209
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Star Wars rebels and even when you go back and

1210
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: you watch Rogue one, because Surrett is force sensitive, like

1211
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 1: he obviously uses the Force, but he's not a Jedi,

1212
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: and there is some movement where people are tuned into

1213
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: the Force but are neither a scythe nor a Jedi.

1214
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: There is a part in the middle, so we could

1215
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: be moving something towards that, and maybe Luke's coming to

1216
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: that realization, or most likely it's Luke telling Ray like, dude,

1217
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna train you. The Jedi need to go away,

1218
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm on this island and I don't

1219
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: know why you found me here, or they just cut

1220
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: it off and he has a nice long, pregnant pause there,

1221
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: and it's the Jedi need to end this, like crap

1222
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: this war. He pulls out his light saber and it's like,

1223
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: let's go. I like that. I watched too much Fast

1224
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: and Furies recently, so no, that's a legitimate that's a legitimate.

1225
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: So there's three possible outcomes right there, all right. And finally,

1226
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: Serena Williams dabs to you why twenty weeks pregnant? She

1227
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: won the Australian Open two months ago whilst prigs well pregnant,

1228
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: the greatest accomplishment of all until I although I I

1229
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: do imagine the Patriots right now huddling together telling Tom

1230
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Brady like, you gotta get pregnant. You, We've got to

1231
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: add on to this. We can't let Serena take this

1232
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: because he's with you. Can't. It's right, and the thing.

1233
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: And I always think about this too, is I I

1234
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: think about that child, the Serena child. We don't know

1235
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: the sex of it yet, but at some point that child,

1236
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: it should have come downstairs. He famous. She was recently engaged,

1237
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: so presumably no I know, but I'm saying, is the

1238
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: guy famous. I don't since we can't remember his name

1239
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: that it's not me um, but that child's so not

1240
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: At anytime that child comes down not feeling well. It's like, Mom,

1241
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can go to school today.

1242
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm not a little bit. She's gonna be like, you

1243
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 1: know what. It's funny because when I was pregnant with you,

1244
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: I had a little bit of stomach. I you know

1245
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: what I did. I want out and won the g open. Okay,

1246
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: you're going to school. I'll go get my stuff. To

1247
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: your other point, with that rank, do you think Tom

1248
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Brady is at home downloading Junior on iTunes to watch

1249
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: it as research. He's like, we can do in vitro, right,

1250
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I could carry carry a baby

1251
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: just for a couple of months, at least for a game.

1252
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: I think just gotta raise the She's raised because to me,

1253
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: I always do that thing. Whenever anybody is talking about

1254
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: who's better Magic or Michael Jordan always point to like,

1255
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: well Magic did something that you can't match out. Well,

1256
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: Jordan could never have gone back in match because because

1257
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: Magic won Game six of the NBA Finals as a

1258
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 1: rookie playing center, which is something like Jordan never did

1259
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: that and you will never do that and it could

1260
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: never happen. So that to me was always something or

1261
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 1: you think about Jack young Blood played the Souper, not

1262
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: only played the Super Bowl, played the Pro Bowl the

1263
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: following week with a broken leg. Like that's pretty incredible.

1264
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: That's good pregnancy. And you know, I mean you you're

1265
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: you have a child, so you know what your wife

1266
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: went through, especially at eleven weeks. That's that's not an

1267
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: easy time. No, it's not. And she went out and

1268
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: nailed it. I wanted one were quick thing. So Junior,

1269
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, Arnold Schwarzenegger got pregnant. He

1270
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: was No. I brought this up because I I uh

1271
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 1: came out. They have to go out and find I

1272
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: have to watch it. But how much money? So you

1273
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: three came out, all of you've seen it came out.

1274
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: How much money do you think it made at the

1275
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: box office box fifty million, Marcus, I'm gonna go. I'm

1276
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna go lower. I'm gonna go to twenty A. I'm

1277
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna take fifty million and one dollar just to have everything.

1278
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: What that's outrageous set us outrageous. The movie is bad, guy.

1279
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: I should watch it if you've never seen. This is

1280
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 1: why Arnold Schwarzenegger was the highest paid actor for like

1281
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: a decade. The open could open a movie, man, I mean,

1282
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: come on, dude, that's mind boggling. Oh my god. All right,

1283
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: we should on the show. Now we're completely off the rails.

1284
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: But that is awesome. Good show. Wow, strange show, great information.

1290
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: have to work here for X amount of years to

1291
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: start picking up these things? Is that also a trope?

1292
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: So many tropes tropes on topic, at least at least

1293
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 1: to round out the full list of attend commandment side

1294
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: feel because some pop up more frequently than others, as

1295
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: in Marcus refers to uh the number eight one as

1296
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: the b S O h L. The best shape of

1297
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: It's funny. I borrowed that from baseball because it's definitely

1298
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: a baseball thing. So shape of his life, shut up

Speaker 1: you said I'm in the best shape of my life

1303
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,640

1306
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:10,240
