Rode a world. I 70 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: want to see a top headline just like us, like 71 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: randomly speculating they should do. If you can do a 72 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: post on you know, Trent Richardson questionable with an ankle 73 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: injury for week three of the a F. I think 74 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: you can do a post. I would argue that this 75 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: is the USA. I know you're out there into the 76 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: rodal world goes away into a F. I don't mind that. 77 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: I like it. I think I would love for the 78 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: a F to succeed. We had a great night with 79 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: Evan and Rhodo PAP, but I questioned their sanity with 80 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: the in depth coverage of this, uh this a F league, 81 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,119 Speaker 1: I thought you'd be plugged Inmarkers people are saying, speaking 82 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: of Trent Richardson, that he's playing so well through two 83 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: weeks that maybe it's gonna end him, get him another 84 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: shot at the NFL. I'll plug in when that happened. 85 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: I need to watch the tape because the stats are terrible. 86 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: One of their updates said, he absolutely does not look 87 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: like an NFL back, if I'm not mistaken. But he's 88 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: doing well in this you know, separate league for those 89 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: trouble getting out of an elevator before the doors closed. 90 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: For those unaware, Mark and I have a long stand 91 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: and standing sandwich bet about Trent richards and ever reservicing 92 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL for a regular season snap. Hey, listen, 93 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: he leads the league Russian over well. I paid it out, 94 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: so if it's a two sandwiches coming back my day, 95 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: I there is a breath of hope. How is it 96 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: that that's the only one ever paid out and it's 97 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: not even happened yet. I don't know there was a 98 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: that's a great question, but it was. It was one 99 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 1: of the high octane bets of old. Let's do some news. 100 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: Anyone who watches NFL networks a bunch of mouth breathers, 101 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: all right, It's a interesting Friday here at the NFL 102 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: because we have some ownership news right off the top here. 103 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has been charged with 104 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: misdemeanor solicitation of prostitution, Jupiter, Florida Police said Friday. Jupiter 105 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: Police told reporters Friday that the seventy seven year old 106 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: Craft has not been arrested, a warrant will be issued 107 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: and his attorneys will be notified. A statement was released 108 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 1: by the NFL. The NFL is aware of the ongoing 109 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: law enforcement matter and will continue to monitor developments. Ask 110 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: people also release the statement denying any wrongdoing connected to 111 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: uh this alleged incident at a massage parlor, and a 112 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: lot of people sending tweets at me asking for a reaction, 113 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: I am giving you the news. Right. There's not much 114 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: to say about it other than how could it affect 115 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: kind of the Patriots and and the league in general. 116 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: And this, you know, in theory falls under the personal 117 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: conduct policy that that Roger Goodell has used for players 118 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: that get in trouble with the law, and he could 119 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: certainly use it for owners that get in trouble, you know, 120 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: with the law. Whether that's a fine. Whether that's a suspension, 121 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: who knows, But I think that's kind of how the 122 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: story is going to be covered. What else is there, Well, 123 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's a pretty huge story, and UM, people 124 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: that listen to this podcast understand that we we get 125 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: a lot of rope about what we get to talk about. 126 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: Maybe not so much on this topic. But Mark, I 127 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: know you said you wanted to talk about it. Your 128 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: real opinions. No, I don't have much to add other 129 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: than the facts that you've dispensed and will will see 130 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: what happens next. Your opinion, Well, I think it's interesting 131 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 1: in the sort of the Roger Goodell Robert Kraft tug 132 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: of war that we've seen over the past half decade 133 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: where they were very tight and he's one of the 134 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: most influential owners, and then they butted heads on the 135 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: deflate gate and now I mean, I just want I 136 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: just kind of wonder about that dynamic going forward. You're right, 137 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: and move on. We should move on Levy on Bell 138 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers. UM, he 139 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: is going to be a hot name on the market. 140 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: Uh GM of the Steelers. Kevin Colbert Um made it 141 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: official earlier this week, saying they were not going to 142 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: use the transition tag or do anything to try to 143 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: hold on to Bell or maybe facilitate some type of trade. 144 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: Bell responded on Twitter by quoting Martin Luther King. Um, 145 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: and that means that he is free and he will 146 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: be an unrestricted free agent. Now a report comes out 147 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: Mnish Meida of the New York Daily News, Um, who 148 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: writes a lot about the Jets, and um, he threw 149 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: it out there that a source told him that levy 150 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: On Bell had blown up a little bit. Word on 151 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: the street was the term used that Bell had balloon 152 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: to two and sixty pounds during his year away from football. 153 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: Is listed playing way his two five. So obviously, if 154 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: this is true, he chunked up. He actually entered the 155 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: league with some um issues with conditioning, but then turned 156 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: it on and became a guy that was a real 157 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: really dedicated to keeping his body in great condition. Uh. 158 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: Levy On Bell's trainer called reports or that report laughable, 159 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: and he said that Bell remains in elite shape. West. 160 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: It would make a lot of sense, too much sense, 161 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: or I should say it would make no sense. For 162 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: after all of this, this long journey Bells made about 163 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: maximum dollars for him to be out of shape. So 164 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: I am actually going to side with the trainer side 165 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: of this that Bell is in good condition. Maybe chunked 166 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: up a little bit, but at this point he has 167 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: to be in good in good shape. Maniche Meta is 168 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: a well connected reporter. But I'm gonna need more than 169 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: quote word on the street. Yeah, what's that about. That's 170 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: not a report, that's just whispers. That's scuttle butt, and 171 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: I need more than word on the street. I mean 172 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: it almost sounds like scuttle but directed from the team 173 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: that wants to sign him to you know, decrease his 174 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: value if you really wanted to get uh some craziness. 175 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: I don't even care if he's blue into two sixty 176 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: in the middle of last season. If he's in great 177 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: shape now. The trainer was on with Tom bel Sero 178 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, and said, he's been, you know, working 179 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: out like like they would for any season. He's actually 180 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: in better shape because he got to start it early 181 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: this offseason in January February. As long as he's fine now, 182 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: it's not shocking. Levan Bell, if you remember, entered the 183 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: league about thirty pounds heavier than he was once he 184 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: got to his second and third year when he is 185 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: playing better. I mean, he was a big, big back, 186 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: one of the biggest backs you've ever seen. He wasn't 187 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: as good with all that weight. So he's a guy 188 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: who probably he's one of those guys when he retires. 189 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: You know, some guys go one direction. They either get 190 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: skinny or they get big. He might be a bit, 191 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: you know. I also don't feel this is anything to 192 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: even be concerned about until we see him. I mean 193 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: that he's gonna have He has plenty of time too 194 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: if if he's tacked on a few pounds. The only 195 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: thing though, is if if it's even if a hint 196 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: of it's true where he got out of shape to 197 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: some degree, then all those reports that he was going 198 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: to show up to Pittsburgh at some point during last season, 199 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: if that was true, that was just never in his 200 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: plans to begin with. But these guys can shed twenty 201 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: pounds over the course of a month or two without 202 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: much issue. I just I he's gonna have to be 203 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: present and show his body to teams that are about 204 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: to drop millions on him. So you know, I don't know, 205 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: he can't fake. I think that's one of the interesting 206 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: things about it is teams won't see him. I mean, 207 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: he's going to get a contract before you know, They're 208 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: just gonna have to, uh accept whatever the agent tells him. 209 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: I think you're on is something, Greg, I like that. 210 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: In that same meta piece, um, there was a report 211 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: or a source inside the Jets building that there were 212 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: some concerns about his passion for football, which makes me 213 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: start to think that this might not be a match, 214 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: although I think it would be a good match. That 215 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: the Jets are a little spooked by this guy. Um, 216 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: so you can kind of connect the despital as a 217 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: Jets fandan. I mean, like, I know, if he signs, 218 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna love the signing. Obviously, who wouldn't. But with 219 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: everything we know about the Levion bell experience, there isn't 220 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: anything about that that would give you pause about the 221 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: Levion Bells signing a massive, guaranteed contract. I think there's 222 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: a ton of money to spend, and I think he's 223 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: an amazing talent and I'd be willing to roll the dice. Now. 224 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: The combo of him and Antonio Brown would would be 225 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: another matter, would be something special because today on our 226 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: air and Kevin Colbert the Steelers. GM told Patrick Clabon exclusively, 227 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: uh that that three teams, three teams have already called 228 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: about Antonio Brown, and then immediately Tom Pella, Sarah and 229 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: garat Folo speculated that the Jets they felt strongly were 230 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: one of those three. We talked about that dream team 231 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: pairing on the last show. Do you feel like that 232 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: would exacerbate headlock? Watch bringing an it's one or the other. 233 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be. I'd be much more 234 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: concerned if they had Leve Bell and Lacert Blunt. I mean, honestly, 235 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: the way the way things are going, the decisions they're making, 236 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: why not just go all in, go crazy? Yeah, bringing 237 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: one just to like drive and supply him, you know, 238 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: with illegal substances. Go get Vante's perfect, get him in 239 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: the building, get everybody all right, get Paxton Lynch, all right, 240 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: here we go. Ravens, Tavon Young, They agree to a deal, 241 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: three year contract. People are excited about this. Extensions were 242 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: seven million people. Mike garat Folo, Uh, and Uh. The 243 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: Ravens have a nice group there. They got Young, Marlon Humphrey, 244 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: Brandy Carr, Jimmy Smith. Well, I mean, we're not. We 245 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: don't do the Ravens that anymore. The Ravens is dead. 246 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: Long live the Ravens nest. But the Ravens are pretty 247 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: set up in the back end. Well, after hearing that 248 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: this basically sets the market for slot corners, the second 249 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: thing that I took away from this is that Jimmy 250 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: Smith's in trouble, that Marlon Humphrey and Brandon car are 251 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: probably gonna start Tavon Young in the slot. Yeah, and 252 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith is due about ten million dollars this year. 253 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: He's been injured over the last few years and he's 254 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: been their best corner when healthy. But Marlon Humphrey looks 255 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: like he might be ready to take that job, and 256 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: he'd be an interesting guy. They're gonna get younger, they 257 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: might come Eric Weddle, and that kind of sets the market. 258 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: I think they were trying to get ahead of it 259 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: because there's a few good slot cornerback is a starting job, 260 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: so they deserve to be paid that way, and there's 261 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: a few good ones. Bryce Callahan is a guy who's 262 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: ranked pretty high on West and I's Top one on 263 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: one list, which is coming out on Monday, and there's 264 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: a few other ones dark quested RDS. The other guy 265 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of, which is a solid slot cornerback who's 266 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: gonna go get paid in free agency like those those guys. 267 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: Are you need a slot cornerback? I think it's you know, 268 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: it's eric to cost us first couple of months on 269 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: the job full time, And what kind of GM is 270 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: he gonna be? I mean, I can't think of someone 271 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: that's had a larger, a larger, longer training period under 272 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: a GM than him. But it's it's a signing before 273 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: he went out and reached free agency. You did ahead 274 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: of time and probably got him a better value than 275 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: you would have if he had to wait another year 276 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: or two to get him when he's on the open market. 277 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: Moving on. Uh, it's over, boys, And I'm a little 278 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: disappointed about it because it was a burgeoning bit on 279 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: the podcast the Clock trying to figure out when the 280 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals We're gonna hire a d C. Well, it happened, 281 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: and and and it's a name that I'm gonna struggle 282 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: with right now. I'm gonna be honest with you. Oh, 283 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: it's a fun name. It's a fun name, but it's 284 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: when you gotta learn. It takes a little bit of practice, 285 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna try right now, do it with the flourish. Okay, 286 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: here we go, Lou Lou. That's easy, alright, Lou on 287 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: a rumo. He's the new defensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals. 288 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: After they tried multiple other routes, the interview process kept 289 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: on yielding nose. They get the Giants, I believe defensive 290 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: backs coaches. He uh to come in and uh, there 291 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: is a tie there. He's um NFL assistant. He knows 292 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor, their new coach, from their days of the Dolphins. 293 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: Now they're together, Mark, break it down. I mean, sometimes 294 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: your fifth, six or seventh choice in life winds up 295 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: being the best thing that ever happened to you. No 296 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: proof that that's the case here, but it is. It 297 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: is possible. I'm just saying in life. I'm sure it 298 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: has happened to someone somewhere. That's not the way you 299 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: seem to put it. You said you're like you were 300 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: thinking of something specifically in your life. Go oh, plenty 301 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: of six or seventh choices have happened to me. Not 302 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: in her personally, But I'm I'm saying with like jobs 303 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: or something. It's like, did I did I want to 304 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: work in this like carved out, hideous, corporate like workplace 305 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: that I was in in like two thousand and four. No, 306 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: it was definitely not even the seventh choice of where 307 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to work. But I'm working there and it 308 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: worked out. I mean, it paid me money for a 309 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: period of time. I lived on and did not starve 310 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: or die. What got you here now on a Friday, 311 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if it got me here, but he 312 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: got me kept me alive. So losing the building, Cincinnati 313 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: is now ready. That's the most important part of the 314 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: of the coaching staff outside the head coach West Now 315 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: they're ready to reboot post Marvin Lewis Well. Nobody knows 316 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: anything about any of their coaches, and anybody who tells 317 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: you they can predict whether they're going to be successful 318 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: or not as full of it. I mean, it's just 319 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: it's a complete unknown. Zach Taylor, Brian Callahan, and Luana Rumo. 320 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: Who knows. Finally, in the news, Devin mccordy, thirty two 321 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: years old. This August, he turns h with the Patriots. 322 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: The safety he told Dion during an opening Night back 323 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: to Well week that he wasn't sure if he was 324 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: gonna come back. Well, Gregg, He's coming back, believe or 325 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: you he is. In uh NFL Network inside er Ian 326 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: Rappaport tacked on that Jason mccordy also wants wants to 327 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: come back. Who was a great value. I'm interested to 328 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: see how the Patriots approach this offseason in a few ways, 329 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: and one of them is mccordy and High Tower, unquestionably 330 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: the leaders of that defense and kind of like the 331 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: real hardcore Patriots big cap numbers in the past, one 332 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: of those two guys, or or maybe both, would be 333 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: I think at risk of getting released this offseason. I 334 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: think mccordy has made it clear he doesn't want to 335 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: take a pay cut. That might have been what the 336 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: retirement duck was about. And uh here, I want to 337 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: see what happens there because I don't want them to 338 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: cut him. But then I also think, like, isn't Trey Flowers. 339 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: Shouldn't Trey Flowers be your next guy? Like that? And 340 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: to me, I would much rather pay Trey Flowers whatever 341 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna cost on a long term deal and cut 342 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: one of those two guys. If that's the equation, uh 343 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: than than keeping the two older guys and not the 344 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: one who's been a better player. I'm with you. I 345 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: think the one unique thing to the Patriots is that 346 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: for all these guys that might if they were attacked 347 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: to a low level real rebuilding team of coorse, you 348 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: sore in the free into retirement and just be living. 349 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: You know there, you guys are already multi multimillionaires with 350 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: the Patriots. It's very realistic that if you do this 351 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: one more year thing, you're just gonna get one more 352 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring and have one more crank credible run 353 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: no other team can make. You can even hoist set 354 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: up as a reality. I don't care who you are. 355 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: Um and circling back to a point earlier in the show, 356 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: I just want to say, um, yes, be I'll be 357 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: at the combine, and yes, I have reservations every night 358 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: at St. Almo. It's gonna be a lot of steak, 359 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: but I a lot, have a lot of conversations. I 360 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 1: mean we're there, we're there for like two nights night. 361 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: I don't even believe that one of them. It's a 362 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: lot of horse rat it it's too much. But I gotta. 363 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: It's work. I'm working grind. I mean there's other restaurants, yeah, 364 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: I mean I would argue that sat Almos His and 365 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: even like Top five EF fact gathering. It's it's where 366 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: you go, I mean where you're a guider. As an insider, 367 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: maybe you won't understand, but that's where it's funny because happen. 368 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: A lot of the insiders like to kind of being 369 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: out of the way places so that they don't give 370 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: away who their sources are. Not at the place that 371 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: like everyone's going to, like you don't really just see 372 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: like oh yeah, you don't do it in the main 373 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: dining area. There's a downstairs that's where you go. Well, 374 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: there was that year where like Albert Brier and one 375 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: or two other people had this like little tiny UH 376 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: round table and then Bill Belichick rolled in with a 377 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: hoodie and like a giant backpack and just like b 378 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,239 Speaker 1: line to this like dark corner where they sat and 379 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: had a private conversation for like an hour plus. Well, 380 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: there was there was getting it. See. There was also 381 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: the year that UH, an unspoken source close to the 382 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 1: podcast made a reservation where we had to hit a 383 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: minimum um and then things had to do you know 384 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: things happened with that reservation where it became very difficult 385 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: because we had rented a room to get to that 386 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: in him um and uh, that was something that went 387 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 1: out the I have less to say about that than 388 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: I do. Robert Kraft. St Elmo's is the Bruce Springsteen 389 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: of restaurants. Go on, every white sportswriter is in love 390 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: with it. Alright.

We 400 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: know the ram Stadium is being built. We don't need 401 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: any more shots.

All right, 434 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: here we go, mail bags out and if dot com 435 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: slash handsas that's the email bag, there's a mail bag 436 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: by Jake Lazer. Uh. He threw out Odell Beckham could 437 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: be traded by the giants. We can throw out stuff too. 438 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: I respect Ja.

Veterans were veterans 441 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: of this country and uh, nice bald head seems to 442 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: keep himself in great shape. He's plugged in with the 443 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: ultimate fighting seems incredibly So this isn't an anti Jay thing, 444 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: but this is what this is about. We can do 445 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: it too. Oh yeah, so let's throw us them out. 446 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start all right, and just to mention again, 447 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: the mail bag is up NFL dot com slash Hansas 448 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: and from that very entry, um, I have this idea 449 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: to talk about on the show. One of the people 450 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: that sent in a querry um for the mail bag 451 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: through this out. He's a disgruntled Detroit Lions fan. And 452 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: I get it. I get where you're at if you're 453 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: a Lions fan, because you just see it seems like 454 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: you're in football purgatory. So what do you do? So 455 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw out his question here it comes. Should 456 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: the Lions trade Matthew Stafford? Yeah? Why not? Let's trade 457 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. Let's he's just he's just turning. He just 458 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: turned thirty one, He's got four years left on his contract. 459 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: The Lions they need something, they need a little juice, 460 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: they need a little adrenaline, a shot of adrenaline to 461 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: that organization. So what if we moved Matthew Stafford. Two, 462 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: let's jump in the fish tank and send him to 463 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, and in return, the Dolphins send a 464 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: first round pick this year and a third next year. 465 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: Now we're cooking my fire, Matthew Stafford, and now and 466 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: and part two. The man's name is Raymond. Nun's off 467 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: he threw out there. Hey, by the way, go draft 468 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: Kyle Murray, Kyler Murray at eight overall. Now, if you're 469 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: Detroit and now you're starting over, and you've got a 470 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: new direction and the Stafford era, and I want to 471 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: make it clear, I don't think Stefford's a bad quarterback 472 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: or even the problem in Detroit, but I certainly think 473 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: the Lions need a jump start for this franchise. Let's 474 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: do it and give the Dolphins a franchise quarterback they've 475 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: been looking for since they missed out on Drew Brees. 476 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: This is interesting. Two of the most boring teams in 477 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: the league, Yet the scenario you present has a chance 478 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: to make both of those teams interesting. I think the 479 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: price is way too low. I mean the Dolphins would 480 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: do that in a heartbeat. I mean to get a franchise. Well, 481 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: they get a lot of get a lot of capital 482 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: leaf there too, right, Yeah, but that's important. Overrated, I 483 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: mean everyone's got it. It's overrated until it's like not 484 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: part of the argument you're looking for. I feel like 485 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: that's a that's a big piece of it, because he 486 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: does have a huge salary stuff. It would be great if, yes, 487 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: you replace it with a great rookie quarterback, but a 488 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray probably not making it to eight, so if 489 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: you really want him, I don't think he's got I mean, 490 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: but they would have an ability to trade up to 491 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: Yeah it's early, who knows. But you can't pin your 492 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: that entire plan on Kyler Murray because you're gonna, uh, 493 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: you might not get him. I mean, you have no 494 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: idea what other teams are gonna do to give up 495 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: to to go get him. I think he would cost 496 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: a lot more, I really do. I mean it. I 497 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: just think he's a top fifteen NFL quarterback and that 498 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,719 Speaker 1: is worth multiple first round picks. I think the Dolphins 499 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: would love it. I I the idea of a fresh 500 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: start on some level for both of those teams because 501 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: this should be fun, like is appealing to the NFL 502 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: fan in me just to see all of these two 503 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: teams completely reboot, and I think the Dolphins are looking 504 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: to reboot there. Obviously Tannehill is out the door, it 505 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: sounds like. And so I like the trade, did m 506 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: I do too. I agree with Greg that compensation might 507 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: have to be tweaked, but I do it's it might 508 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: kill two birds with one stone. As far as boring teams, 509 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm thinking there is a flaw to this, by the way, 510 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: because if you trade, well, no, it does work. Actually 511 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: the Dolphins would send you there one and then that 512 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: would arm you with the ability to move up the board. 513 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: The one thing is if if Quinn and the Lions 514 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: f up part two and you have suddenly Matthew Stafford 515 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: with six or seven more good years down in Miami, 516 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: because he, like you said, he's not in the problem 517 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: in Detroit, they are going to be fired. I mean 518 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: they have to. They have to pull off part be Well, well, 519 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: how about I go next, because and let me just 520 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: make one more point that I did some reading in 521 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: the Detroit papers when I was doing the mail bag, 522 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: and public sentiment has turned it seems against Stafford right now, 523 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: which is is weird because he he has every of 524 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: the top like seven passing seasons in the history of 525 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: that franchise. But last year was really bad. He took 526 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: a step back in almost every UM relevant category and 527 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: the team stunk uh and the Jim Bob Couter thing 528 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: fell apart. So his value maybe is at its low point, 529 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: and Detroit fans seemed like they want a new start. 530 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: It would be I mean, part of me does wonder 531 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: what Patricia thinks really of him, of Quinn who inherited him, 532 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: whether they think he can take the next step. It's 533 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: not crazy. But he also hasn't missed the game in 534 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: like eight years. He has a has a ton of value. 535 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: I mean, how will they be around to get another 536 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: quarterback if they made it? Tradeer? Go ahead? Mark all right? 537 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: So mine mine is a similar drum beat to it, 538 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: where there's a part A and B and part one 539 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: is the Raiders um continuing to reshape the Raiders with 540 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: a Gruden to Grooden trade where John Gruden ships Derek Carr, who, 541 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: in my deepest suspicions, I just don't believe he's totally 542 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: on board with You've been trying to trade Derek Carter 543 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: every team in the least grant I think he's I 544 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: think Mark, I think something could happen here, but I 545 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: think that he I think there's reasons to like Derek Carr, 546 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: and Gruden a likes him enough that he could sell 547 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: him to Grooden b to Jay Gruden, who Redskins desperately 548 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: need a quarterback. And if you're Jay Gruden, I really 549 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: wonder if you have time to risk it on a 550 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: rookie and hope it goes well. You don't. You need 551 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: someone that you can plug in, start right away. And 552 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: Derek Carr fits the bill of someone that there's no 553 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: question that he'd be your week one starter, and you 554 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: ride with it, and in return, the Skins, because Derek 555 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: Carr is a up and down product, get him for 556 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: a second round pick. This year, there's number two pick, 557 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: and so then you are the Raiders with the number 558 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: four overall pick. You've also got the twenty four and 559 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: I believe this year you have to first next year, 560 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: but you'd also have a second this year. So the 561 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: Raiders who are sitting the number four spot, they basically 562 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: at that point send this year's number four and next 563 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: year's number one, and the second round they got Washington. Well, 564 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: it's it's this, it's this, year's four and next year's 565 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: number one their own, and this year's second, which is 566 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: similar to what the Redskins had two more their fourth round, 567 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: the number four overall. Wow that much for Derek Carr. 568 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: No no, no no, no, no, Derek Carr comes to Derek 569 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: Carr comes to Oakland for for Washington second rounder. Then 570 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: the Redskins, who have a billion number one picks, take 571 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: this year's number four overall, the second rounder from Washington, 572 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: and next year's numb umber one pick one of two 573 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: they have, give it to the Arizona Cardinals, move up 574 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: to number one overall and take Kyler Murray as John 575 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,719 Speaker 1: Gruden's quarterback of the next ten years. And I know 576 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: that people have their ups and downs with Kyler Murray. 577 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: I think he is going to be a star. And 578 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: my one concession with with the Lions just grabbing him 579 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: at number eight and people saying, oh, the Redskins are 580 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: gonna grab Kyler Murray at number fifteen. Nonsense. He is 581 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: going to go. I believe in the top two picks 582 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: number one or number two overall, one of those teams, 583 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: either the Cardinals. I still I'm not done with the 584 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals maybe taking him on their own there are I 585 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: talked to two people in this building that said, you're 586 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: crazy if you think the Cardinals and behind closed doors 587 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: aren't still talking about that. There are people inside the 588 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: football side. Ownership came out hard, but the football side 589 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: still there's a bunch of people that think he's a 590 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: much better fit for the air raid offense than Josh Rosen, 591 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: and that there are people inside that building that wanted 592 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: still and they wanted to happen, but you're gonna have 593 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: to they would that would they would have to give 594 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: get a lot to trade out at number one. So 595 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: this is a two part trade that guarantees the Raiders 596 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: get Kyler Murray not at number four, where they may 597 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: not impressive. You're passionate about this. I I like it. 598 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: I mean it definitely the Redskins. That's a that's an 599 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: easy move to make a second round pick for for 600 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: Derek Carr. I don't think they would give a first 601 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: That's the one thing. I did not think they would 602 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: give the number fifteen overall pick for Derek Carr, and 603 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: I think they might. But either way Car ends up 604 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: in Washington, that's the main thing. And then Murray with 605 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders and they'd still have another number one pick 606 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: next year and another two this year. It raises like 607 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: a great uh just overall point that if you look 608 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: at the Cardinals and then the Raiders and the Redskins, 609 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: all those three teams are wild cards, I think to 610 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: make some spicy moves that no one's talking about. Derek Carr, 611 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: Josh Rose and Kyler Murray probably being in the center 612 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: of all that. It does make sense to me because 613 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: I think the the reason I'm saying cap spaces over rate, 614 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: you can figure it out. I mean, you can figure 615 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: out your cap space, and that's going to inspire teams 616 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: to make these types of trades, like for Derek Carr. Oh, 617 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: it is your turn, Chris Westling, give us something. So 618 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: saying what if I told you there is a young 619 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: ball hawking cornerback coming off his first Pro Bowl season 620 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: and he's available, that sounds great? Okay, Now teams are 621 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: like a real pro bowler or like like the fifth 622 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: alternate legit legit pro bowler, legit ball hawk Xavian Howard 623 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: of the Dolphins. A lot of reports did he's available 624 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: this year that maybe they don't want to give him 625 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: a huge contract in a rebuilding mode. So the Colts 626 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: and Chiefs are interested, but Packers have two first round picks, 627 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: and the number thirty overall from the Saints goes to 628 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: Miami for Xavian Howard. The Green Bay Packers cornerback to 629 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: pair with Jai Jaire Alexander and I just wanted to 630 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: upset Mark and make the Packers better. So the well, 631 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: one person that would love that a is Mike Petton. 632 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: That's his whole defense is based off of two guys 633 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: that can operate that way at cornerback. It would not 634 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: I not would not be upset that the Packers are 635 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: better by the way it is the fawning media attention 636 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: we had as dead we had a segment entitled Teams 637 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: Mark hates and then ever since then he's denied that 638 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: he Well, like at that point in the season, I 639 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: told you flat out this Packers team that everyone's still 640 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, frolicking over would not make the playoffs. And 641 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: the recent days you've bemoaned the Packers and the Rams 642 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: get they're annoying the Panthers. I yeah, but then I 643 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: then I was I went back and said I was 644 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: known no longer annoyed with the Panthers anyway, And then 645 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: he was putting a tough spot when the Rams and 646 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: the Pats are in the Super Bowl, and he just 647 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: he just had no I just went kind of quiet. 648 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: Um any other thoughts about the West trade? Smart makes sense? 649 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: Like ball hawkeyers. I think it was av Howard's available. 650 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: He hasn't incredible, he has incredibly high value. Why let 651 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: him go? Well, that's the thing. Why would my I mean, 652 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: it just seems like Miami's dumping organic fish tag. We'll 653 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: see what happens. What do you think about the tweet 654 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: the guy on Twitter? I don't know if you saw 655 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: this that said dolphins aren't fish. I thought that was 656 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: a ridiculous thing to say to Dan because it's a 657 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: famous saying squish the fish, and they're talking about the dolphins. 658 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like it's part of how far how 659 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: long did you? When did you start listening to or 660 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: watching the NFL? Like the dolphins has been called the 661 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: fish and headlines for forty years? Fair if I guess 662 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: the point. I never considered that technically, So how many 663 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: times you want to talk about the flying over the 664 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: the space where the new stadium is, or or the 665 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: steakhouse the Whites liking it? What about how many times 666 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: we have to be told how smart the dolphin is. Oh, no, 667 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,439 Speaker 1: it's smarter than the dolphin. It's a mammal. It could 668 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: speak many languages, and it's very it's a beautiful, beautiful thing. 669 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the dolphins forever, you know, put the how Africa? 670 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: How does that not get the dolphin drop? What? What 671 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: do we need to get the dolphin drop in here? 672 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna actually say, let's go to the 673 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 1: fish tank. But you're just talking about dollars talking about dolphins. 674 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: We have a dolphin drop. Let's hear those suckers. I'm 675 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: just saying I've heard a lot about dolphins over my lifetime. 676 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: They're very intelligent beasts. They're not fish. They're mammals. I 677 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: learned recently they're one, you know, one of the only 678 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: animals that enjoy sex just for for itself. They're like, 679 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: they're into it, not just for reproduction. Good for the fats, 680 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: next level animal life. Gotta respect that, absolutely, gotta respect that. Absolutely. 681 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: Give us another one. Well, I mean someone had to, 682 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: you know, give a good player to the Patriots that 683 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: would annoy everyone else. I guess that's gonna be me. Hey, 684 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: Deshan Jacksons. By the way, the Patriots could use a 685 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: trade right about now. They could, and I think they will. 686 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: I think teams like the Patriots, the Eagles, the Rams, 687 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: they're ahead of the game when it comes to the 688 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 1: sending these mid to late round picks for veterans with 689 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,919 Speaker 1: big price tags and think of a few that would 690 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: help the Patriots. But Deshan Jackson is right at the 691 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: top of the list. He's so uh, he's so good 692 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: still his own team is trying to rerecruit him, but 693 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to play for the Bucks. Who go 694 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: send a fourth round pick for just one year of 695 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson and uh, they can they can survive without it. 696 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: The Patriots have six picks in the top one hundred 697 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: this year, which so I'm gonna give them a fourth 698 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: for one year of de Sean Jackson. I mean, how 699 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: much can that really cost? But ten he's gonna be 700 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: ten million dollars. I think he'd help their team out 701 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: for two thousand nineteen. Or the Patriots going to trade 702 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: for a quarterback who can throw the ball to Deshan Jackson. Deep, Oh, 703 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: that's not part of Tom Brady's game anymore. I mean, 704 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you completely give up on any throws 705 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: over ten ten yards. And I think De Sean Jackson 706 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: could be used creatively for after the catch place too. 707 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,879 Speaker 1: It's not Tyreek Hill, no, but he's still very good. 708 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: He led the league in yards perception. When you watch 709 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 1: the Sean Jackson he looks like Jacks burning guys over 710 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: with a I to your point, though, I don't think 711 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 1: you can give up on a deep all his arm 712 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: look great. I would say in the playoffs his arm 713 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: strength is fine. He wasn't very out, absolutely untrue over 714 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: the injury, He's not throwing deep. It would put an 715 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: end to the incredibly tedious offseason habit article of will 716 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston into Sean Jackson finally get their chemistry together 717 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: for like the third or fourth straight year in a row. 718 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: Just no more of y. So his deal is he 719 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: has ten million dollars one year left on his contracts. 720 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: This is just like a short term. But I think 721 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:35,959 Speaker 1: there are a lot of teams out there that would 722 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 1: look at that and think you don't need to cut 723 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: him bucks. We'll be happy to pay De Sean Jackson 724 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: and we'll do some sort of trade up, or we'll 725 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: give a late round pick and and give them to me. 726 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: Are you saying the Patriots are in win now mode? Now? 727 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: But that's the type of moves they made to get 728 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: mccordy and pass what they're not. They're always in wint mode. 729 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: They're not sacrifice in the future. They got these I 730 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: would not be Did you like that? By the way, 731 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: that you know that they have the three top one, 732 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 1: six top one picks this year? I love that? But 733 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,720 Speaker 1: would I be concerned or upset of the Sean Jackson 734 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: landing on the Patriots Now he's turning thirty three in December. 735 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 1: If you look at his game log after game after 736 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: week five, he did nothing, had a touchdown, never went 737 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 1: over a hundred yards, And yeah he can go go 738 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: over the top. But I to West's point, and I 739 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: you know, I don't like the Patriots, but they weren't 740 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: a very exciting offense to watch. They were very They 741 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: got the job done because they're just so well, they're 742 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: so well oiled the machine with a lot of those 743 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: short passes. But is Tom Brady at forty two forty 744 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: three hells you know, is he's gonna be taking the 745 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 1: tops off defenses? Well, yeah, I don't think you can. 746 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: I put it this way, They're not going to go 747 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: into the season giving up on that. You need to 748 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: have that some sort of thing. They went into this 749 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: season given up. That wasn't the plan though, That was 750 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: not That was not the play if they if they 751 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 1: got de Sean Jackson, can see him cut by week 752 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: seven because he's complaining, you gotta use me if you 753 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: want me on this team. I think he's a guy 754 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: that coaches and people that have been around him ultimately 755 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: like like having around that. He is a ultimate. He's 756 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: a competitor that even to wear out as welcome maybe 757 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: after a few years, but that's the Patriots kind of 758 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: m oh. They take guys for a couple of years, 759 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: they get rid of him. There you go. We can 760 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: do it too. Good trades. Hey, Greg, last week, you 761 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: um you put out a challenge to the listeners, didn't you. 762 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: I did, and they listened. I asked for you to 763 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: leave some comments and more even just as importantly, leave 764 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: some ratings I wanted. I don't remember what number it was, 765 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: between fifty and und but you delivered. We got a 766 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: ton of new ratings, not as many new comments. So 767 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: let's let's keep coming with the comments, but they did 768 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: hit the goal of the five star ratings, and uh 769 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: they did. We do appreciate it or the comments positive 770 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: or they yeah. One one says a t N is 771 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: my favorite in ear experience that came up on birthday, 772 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: So I like that. One is from Clark Bennett. Who 773 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 1: is the name of um, a guy that ran the 774 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: Fantasy Baseball League I used to be in. Who is 775 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: the cousin of my friend here, Dave Bennett, the best 776 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: man at my wedding in the house watching our podcast, 777 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: and he he was very complimentary of everyone here, but 778 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: he did say, my only hope is they dive further 779 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: into points, spreads and odds. The rainmaker doesn't really do 780 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: it justice freaks. Guys. Wait, so you have your friends 781 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: your friends writing I don't. I'm guessing based on that 782 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: comment it's not the Clark Bennett I know, but you 783 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: never know. Um. Dave behind the Glass is one of 784 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: those one and a half speed listeners. He listened to 785 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: us at one and a half speed and don't Mark 786 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: said rub you the wrong way a little bit. When 787 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: people do that, I just hear more and more people 788 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: that I know it rubs you the wrong way. I don't. 789 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 1: I would say I have enough issues to deal with 790 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: in my existence right now. It's not something that's making 791 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: like a top one list of my annoyances. I wouldn't 792 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: say it rubs me the wrong way, but it's you know, 793 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: as you're trying to craft something and then you imagine 794 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: it's being listened to in the way that you produced it. 795 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: I guess it's akin to a recording artist um or 796 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: a filmmaker finding out that someone watched his movie on 797 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: the iPhone. I don't like the idea of our at 798 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: that speed or at one and a half seeds. I 799 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: don't like it. I've told Dave this. I've told Dave this. 800 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: It's like ruins the timing. It's like if you're if 801 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: you're so interested in efficiency, who I want I can 802 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: listen to more podcasts If I listened to them at 803 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,479 Speaker 1: one and a half, you're not really getting the full 804 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 1: Like the timing of jokes. My voice. Can you imagine 805 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 1: how it's annointed enough at at normal speed? Can you 806 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: imagine it's sped up? That's tough? Maybe you sound super 807 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: hotel except I've tried it. It's like, yeah, that's music. 808 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: Is a great comparison, because if do you listen to 809 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: more music at one and a half speed so that 810 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: you can crank out more albums, now, it's like, just 811 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: enjoy what you're listen.
