1
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: What is going on? Kind of weird to be excited

2
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: three and Out podcast John Middlecoff, so probably be a

3
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: little different show today, uh, with a Corona theme and

4
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: just how it relates to football that these are these

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: are weird times. You know, I don't even I don't

6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: know exactly what to say or you know, typically I

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: would have thought this would be kind of heading into

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: free agency being excited for everything. But you know, these

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: last really three or four days since I did the

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: first show of the week record on Monday have changed

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: a lot. I attempted to go to a NBA game

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: on Wednesday night. I had tickets. I mean, one of

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: the reasons was I just had bought the tickets to

14
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: see Zion Williamson play the Kings. My mom lives on

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: the a from where I lived, so I went home,

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: kind of made a day of it, and right before

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: the game, the game got canceled and I was there.

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: I was walking into the arena when the p A

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: announcer about five minutes before tip off announced that it

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: was over. Now, you could argue I probably shouldn't have

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: been there in the first place, but you know, I

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: spent two U twenty dollars on tickets, and I'm not

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: just I'm not at the point where I'm just throwing

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: away money. And maybe it's I was not affected or

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: afraid to go in, but I was gonna go watch

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: and play. And there were twenty thousand people there. I mean,

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: the place is gonna be packed. But it got canceled.

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: And then really the next twenty four hours to where

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm recording now in the afternoon on Thursday, basically everything

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: has been canceled. Basketball has been suspended, the March Madness

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: and the tournaments canceled, basically all spring sports and college

32
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: sports canceled. Major League Baseball and definitely suspended. And we

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: just there's a lot of unknown right now. And I'm

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: glad I waited to record this till the afternoon because

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: I guess what, I'll leave the show with the the

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: in the middlecoff mail bag. You can shoot me d

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: M S. But I you know, as we lead into this,

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get into free agency here, I

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be delayed. Florio tweeted out that I've

40
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: been unsure with how this voting process works. They must

41
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: have to like send in ballots, because if it was digital,

42
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: we would know whether this thing passed or not, the

43
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: c b A, that is, and from all reports it

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: feels like it's gonna pass. But I can't pretend to

45
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna pass or not. Let's just assume

46
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: that we'll have a result come Sunday night, whether the

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: NFL has agreed, the players have agreed to a new

48
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: cb A with the owners, or they've rejected it. And

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: there were some people, I think a player today for

50
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: the Saints Morehead tweeted out, you know this is this

51
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: is called uncertainty. This is economic uncertainty. And I feel

52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: for everyone right now all over this country who does

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: not just have unlimited money in their bank when I

54
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, millions of dollars or hundreds

55
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars, who lives paycheck to paycheck. Who's

56
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: the majority of America? The majority of America does not

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: have ten thousand dollars in savings. And if this has

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: whether you whatever you want to believe about Corona, I

59
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: don't know. It doesn't feel like anyone quite knows. It's

60
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: just pretty clear it's having serious ramifications on the way

61
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: we operate worldwide domestically as a society. Or it's gonna

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 1: have huge, huge economic ramifications as things get canceled, as

63
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: works not allowed to get done. That's what I know.

64
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: And a lot of the way our country operates is economically.

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: We're dependent on the economy rolling. I mean, that's our

66
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: our people are and whether that's that's just the way

67
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: we live. And I I think football, what once they

68
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: find this out, the right thing to do is probably

69
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: delay free e not probably is the delay free agency

70
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. To me, I would just move back.

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: What I would do is just move back free agency.

72
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: You know. Uh, I would write it in pencil, not

73
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: pen just we plan on We're not gonna have it

74
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: start next week. We're gonna tentatively push it back two

75
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: weeks and kind of go from there. And same with

76
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: the draft. Everything's just gonna get pushed back. And luckily

77
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: times on our side, we're not in season. We've seen

78
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: the owners don't care about O T s or anything.

79
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: That's only the coaches do. Hell, the players would cancel

80
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: those in the heartbeat. So you got time to work with.

81
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: You can be, you can be nimble, you can be

82
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: you can pivot easily. And I think the one thing

83
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: that I read Florio wrote something on it, and it

84
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 1: makes sense. Is that Tom Brady signs with the Titans

85
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: two years fifty million dollars that breaks on Tuesday Wednesday?

86
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? I mean, listen, I'm in the

87
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: business of talking about football, specifically. The NFL is the

88
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: cash cow. It literally pays my mortgage. Is that the

89
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: right thing to do next week if business are shut

90
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: down all over America and all the other leagues are

91
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: shut down? Or is it smart just to maybe take

92
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: a breath, because I do think there's an element optically

93
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: to you know, it won't look great now, that doesn't

94
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: mean you can really take advantage. There is no competition.

95
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: I freaking love March Madness. I'm a gambler. I gamble

96
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: on March Madness. It's canceled. That sucks. There's no way

97
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: around it. I get it, and I think ultimately you

98
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: had to cancel it. But that sucks. I would imagine

99
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: a lot of you listening. I love Thursday and Friday,

100
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: the tournament, filling out brackets, rooting for teams and players

101
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: we don't know. It's It's as cool of an event

102
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: as we have in this country in all in all

103
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: of in all of sports. I I can't get enough

104
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: of it. And I think the NFL could look at

105
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: it like, God, we don't even have that to compete with.

106
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: We can dominate. The NBA has gone for minimum thirty

107
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: thirty days. We can really kind of own the headlines

108
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: because think about television, ESPN, Fox, CBS, their inventory is

109
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: games just in general, whether it's NBA, NHL, golfer really

110
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: is the only sport going. Thank god. I got a

111
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: little money right now in Brooks to win the players.

112
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: We'll see if you can come through. He's minus two.

113
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: He just finished. But all these other there's gonna be

114
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: nothing on. And I think you could easily justify it.

115
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: And football gets a lot of heat for being all

116
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: they're the greedy league. They're the greedy league. Well, to me,

117
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: this is an easy one. This is what I would

118
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: call a BP fastball. Just move it back a couple

119
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: of weeks. Every human, it's not just all we're inconvenient.

120
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: We're all inconvenience right now. At any moment some people

121
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: were all in business with If this gets really ugly,

122
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: could go under and we we all could be in trouble,

123
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, and whatever whatever industry we're in who knows

124
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: this is uncharted territory. I've only been a you know,

125
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: a estional adult. I feel like for like five or

126
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: six years, you know, kind of as I turned to

127
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: my thirties, kind of feel it now, Like I I understand,

128
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: like when I was young and things, you know, wars

129
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: would happen or re session would happen, and you feel it.

130
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: You see the stress on your parents and you can't

131
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: even quite comprehend it. You kind of understand it as

132
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: you get older. It's kind of sobering. My god, you

133
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: feel you wish you could go back to like your

134
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: thirteen year old self and like have a serious conversation

135
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: with your parents. But it's not the way the world works.

136
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: And I think the NFL, we'll see, I don't know.

137
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I I would imagine they push it back.

138
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: They're clearly having the conversation. I think that would be

139
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: the right move. And and trust me, you guys have

140
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: been listening to I'm not MR overreact on stuff, But

141
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't think we can deny the impact this is

142
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: now having on everything. And being at the King's game

143
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: or and the game didn't happen, but the reason it

144
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: stopped for those of you that don't fallow basketball. I'm

145
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: sure you've seen the headline. Rudy Gobert, the center for

146
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: the Jazz, who had it well, one of the referees

147
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: in that Utah game, who had worked a Utah game

148
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. The players on the Pelicans figured out,

149
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: or it just got out that that guy had been

150
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: around Rudy, So all the players started being like, I'm

151
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: not playinger with this guy or around this guy. And

152
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: then you realize basketball, which is different in some other sports.

153
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: Everyone touches the basketball. And then really just that game

154
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: got canceled and the whole season got suspended, and then

155
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: Baseball followed suit, and c double A followed suit. The

156
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: thing with the NFL is there's not you know, like

157
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: Florio tweeted this morning, the silence from the NFL is deafening. Well, Mike,

158
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: the season is not going on. Hell the free agencies

159
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: next week. But it's not like an event. You can

160
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: just do it from your office. So it's the NFL

161
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: was not up against the wall in terms of a

162
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: time crunch. They had. Time was on their side. But

163
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: I think as they take a deep breath and time

164
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: gets closer to where they have to make a decision.

165
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: This feels too easy for me, and you know, at

166
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: least where I'm sitting, and I'm not. I don't know.

167
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: Listen all the logistics of the league that they're pretty

168
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: dependent on ESPN, NFL network, people like me coward whoever,

169
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: like we help the whole thing go too, and who

170
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: knows if some of these shows are gonna be able

171
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: to happen. Can you get people in some of these networks.

172
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just I think it's just easy

173
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: to take a step back, take a deep breath. You

174
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: don't even need to put a specific date on it.

175
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna open up free agency on this day. Just listen.

176
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna push it back at minimum two weeks and reassess,

177
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: kind of like when Steph Curry injures his ankle, the

178
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: Warriors put out her tweet that say, Steph Curry has

179
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: hurt his ankle. He will be reassessed in two weeks

180
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: and we will have new information. Just do something like that,

181
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: because i'mlike, like with basketball, there is the seasons going on,

182
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: the playoffs aren't that far away. The time isn't necessary

183
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: early on your side, though, they have some months to

184
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: work with baseball. The season hasn't even started, but they

185
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: couldn't go. Well, can we afford to push it back

186
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: till the end of July and start and have play

187
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: a three months like the NFL? The season is so long,

188
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: so far away, you've got a little wiggle room. If

189
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: worst case scenario you can't have O T S will live,

190
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: We'll live. Would that be ideal? No? Can you get

191
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: by with that? Yes? If free agency has to start

192
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: July June one and the draft is July one, you know,

193
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: sh it happens. You don't crazy part about this world.

194
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: We no one knew Corona or COVID nineteen or whatever

195
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: you're calling it. What's gonna happen? Hell, it's We're a

196
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: couple of weeks into this and I feel like educated people,

197
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: which I claim, you know, I got a couple of

198
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: degrees on the wall, though, I mean think you can question,

199
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: like how educating? All right? I don't really know what's

200
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: going on. We're all reading the same stuff, we're all

201
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: watching the same shows, and I know myself, I feel

202
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: like I don't even know what's what. I really don't like.

203
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks tweets out he's got Corona my first is

204
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: he gonna die? And then he tweets out, no, I

205
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: feel good, I'm gonna be okay, and is it gonna

206
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: be okay? So are we over? You don't even know?

207
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: It's what that's what makes us really crazy is there's

208
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: just so much unknown. And I think the NFL, I

209
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: hope the NFL for the for the first time in

210
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: a while, just makes an easy, correct decision. But I

211
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: guess by the time next time you hear me. The

212
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: good thing about me, I can self quarantine in my

213
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: office and just keep recording podcast so the podcasts aren't

214
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna go away. But I guess we'll see by the

215
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: next time we talk if if free agency has happened

216
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: or not. Where I guess is happening or not, which

217
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: my guests as of Thursday, March twelve, for thirty in

218
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: the afternoon is that it ultimately gets pushed back unless somehow,

219
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: in some unforeseen circumstances in the next however many hours,

220
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: Corona just disappears. And it's sure as hell feels like

221
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: Corona disappearance. It's like only get stronger or at least

222
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: spreading more. So, Uh, you know, I think we've build

223
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: up for this this week in the middle of March,

224
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: to ultimately have it pushed back. Okay, regardless of what

225
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: happens in free agency, whether they move it back or

226
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: leave it, the reality is for every team, the hay

227
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: is in the barn. You know exactly what some of

228
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: your options are. Can I tag and trade this guy?

229
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: How much is it gonna cost me ballpark to sign

230
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: this guy? Do I have a chance to sign this guy?

231
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: Because by about early I was a pro scout. By

232
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: about early to mid January, your free agent board is set.

233
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: You know who you like on your team and what

234
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: you need by the time you go to the compt

235
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: and you kind of know what's coming out in the draft,

236
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: so by the time you go to the combine. And

237
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: I talked about this with Howie and he said, if

238
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: you listen to the podcast last week, it's about accumulating information.

239
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: He's like a CIA agent. And as I told Howie

240
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: on that interview, another decision maker had told me he

241
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: had four team today for like five straight days, all

242
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: about getting a feel for how much your own players

243
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: are gonna cost if I traded this guy. What could

244
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: I get if I wanted to trade for this guy?

245
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: How much you would cost. You've accumulated all that information.

246
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: So once this week started, like you have an idea. Now,

247
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you don't. It doesn't mean you know

248
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. But if I'm the Niners, I know

249
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: how much Eric Armstead wants an extension. I know what

250
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: I can get tag and trade for the guy. I

251
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: know teams that go well. If I signed Clowney, I

252
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: don't need Armstead. If we don't get Clowney, we'll trade

253
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: you a second rounder for Armstead. There is a lot

254
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: of unknown, but you know this or that you've got

255
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: some idea. With the draft, you're still gathering a boatload information.

256
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: Unlike free agency the haze in the barn in terms

257
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: of the information this period, now we can say how

258
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: much you gain out of it or not. The Pro

259
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: day circuit earlier this morning, but for I recorded my

260
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: other podcast. I follow Michigan football, and I see boom,

261
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: they've canceled their Pro day. I talked to a bunch

262
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: of scouts. I just text them, like, what's your guy's status.

263
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: He's like, we got pulled off the road. We got

264
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: pulled off the road. I'm sure a lot of you

265
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: guys seen on Twitter, than a lot of the scouts

266
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: and coaches were pulled back to the office. The sec

267
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: of the information that I have that I saw today

268
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: canceled everything for at least the next month, including pro days.

269
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: So pro days now, some of them happened earlier this week,

270
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: but moving forward, they're not happening. So pro days are

271
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: done so and we could argue all day long how

272
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: much they matter. But for a guy I saw the

273
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: receiver at Clemson, Higgins, who didn't do that much at

274
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: the combine, did a bunch of stuff at the Pro Day.

275
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: Like you don't have to do stuff at the Pro

276
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: at the combine, it's your choice. But usually that same

277
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: player then does a lot of stuff at the Pro days.

278
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: And again like does a vertical jump make or break?

279
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: You know? But information is power, and there's a reason

280
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: these guys jump and do these drills so you can

281
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: get quanti quantifiable information and compare it to other players

282
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: in the in this draft that are in the league.

283
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: It's cashtag analytics, and this stuff is gonna end. And

284
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: depending on the timeline here, if we don't do pro days,

285
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of questions on the information. And

286
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: I saw my former boss, and my former colleague Lewis

287
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: Riddick tweeted, Well, if these Pro days end right now,

288
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: it'll put a lot more pressure on the good organizations

289
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: that do their work during the fall. And I know

290
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Ravens, the Patriots that that school of

291
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: grading their grades lock in at the end of the

292
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: college football season. They specifically do it so when you

293
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: go to the Senior Bowl, when you go to the

294
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: All Star Games, when you go to the Combine, when

295
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: you go to the Pro Day, you can't change your grade.

296
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: When December, when the ball games end, and you have

297
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: a third round grade on a player, then he goes

298
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: to the Senior ball, the Combine and the Pro Days

299
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: and he just becomes a workout warrior. You can't bump

300
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: that up to a late first round pick. The high

301
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: level organizations do not want you to do that. Now,

302
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna factor in that information, but they separated. Now.

303
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how every team does it. You guys

304
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: got a pretty good idea of the teams I interact with,

305
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: and I know the way they operate. The Chiefs, the Bears,

306
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Niners. I mean, the Raiders don't talk

307
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: to me, but I know how they operate because I

308
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: got a couple of moles. But again, I'm people think

309
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm a raider hater, I'm actually not. I love Mike Mayock.

310
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the brighter gm is going.

311
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: If Mike Mayock got fired tomorrow, he'd actually be in demand. Uh.

312
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: But so I think when you the draft, there's gonna

313
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: be a lot of unknown I would imagine general managers,

314
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: whether you move free agency or don't there they'd be

315
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: okay with whatever they do. Now obviously it's not their

316
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: choice to me the draft. If all these pro dace,

317
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: a lot of gms are gonna be a little insecure

318
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: and uneasy. Insecure is probably the wrong, wrong word uneasy,

319
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: just because if you're used to a certain amount of

320
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: information and whatever job you do to help you get

321
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: to your decision, and then I remove of that information,

322
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: it's a little harder. Ultimately, what a decision is, right,

323
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: is basing stuff off information. Now, you just gotta sometimes

324
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: you get I mean, the way life works, you gotta

325
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: deal with the cards you're dealt and welcome to the

326
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: real world. Like not everything things change on uncontrollable events,

327
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: and that's what this is. But with the travel and

328
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: the groups are teams still gonna have draft meetings. The

329
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: great part about technology, Uh, like the podcast I do,

330
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: Hey rom in the middle, Coff, we skype when we recorded,

331
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: so you could easily do if you're Chris Ballard and

332
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: your scouts are all over the country, sit in the

333
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: draft room and skype in, you know, with your I T.

334
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: Guy figure out how to set up. I'm sure many

335
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: of you guys listening to do Google hangouts and all

336
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: this stuff. I've done it before when I did some

337
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: freelance stuff for Bleacher Report seven or eight years ago.

338
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: It's not that difficult. You can do it that way.

339
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: That's what's That's what Google and and all these companies

340
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: make all this money from the technology is there. It's

341
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: actually not that difficult. It's it'd be pretty easy, actually

342
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: to hold draft meetings remotely. Now. It'd be you know,

343
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: you got one guy in California, You've got another guy

344
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: in Connecticut. You got one dude, and you know Dallas

345
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: another time. You know, if you're a California guy and

346
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: you work for the Eagles and the draft meetings started

347
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: eight you know you're gonna have to get up a

348
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: little early now, you'll be done earlier, but you're just

349
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to figure it out. And I would imagine

350
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: that you know football teams in the coach off offt

351
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: Obviously I can't even speak. Um always says this, right

352
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: every time you hear a coach speak to a team,

353
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: or if you've played high school football, you you prepare

354
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: for a game, but you never know what's gonna happen.

355
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: Then you adjust halftime adjustments, in game adjustments. When you're

356
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: in you gotta play, are injured, you gotta play when

357
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: you didn't expect to play, next man up. That's that's

358
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: that's the draft process. That's this So what pro days

359
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: get canceled figured out? Like, what's the point of scouting

360
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: this guy all fall or for the last several years,

361
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: because if you're a good player, most guys aren't one

362
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: year wonders. Even if you are a one year wonder,

363
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: like quote unquote Joe Burrow, Well, every scout in the

364
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: SEC was keeping an eye on Joe Burrow two years ago.

365
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: But you've been keeping an eye on a lot of

366
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: these guys. If you're a scout that's been in a

367
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: region for an area, or if you're a college scouting director,

368
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: You've been accumulating information on all these players. So this

369
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: tests how good you are at your work. Now one

370
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: area that doesn't get talked about that much. Maybe, and

371
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: maybe if you listen to some football shows, you've heard

372
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: of this. There's a thing called Top thirty, a top

373
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: thirty visit. The thirty visit, you're allowed to bring in

374
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: thirty players to your facility. Now, you can't work them

375
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: out when they're there. But if I'm the Raiders and

376
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: I want to bring in six or seven of the

377
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: receivers because I'm gonna draft one Ceedee Lamb, Jerry, Judy, Rugs, Lavishka,

378
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: you name it, I'm gonna fly them all in. Are

379
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: we doing that now? Can you do that? Now? To me,

380
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: that is an area that at the combine you only get.

381
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: I saw this year they added fifteen. It used to

382
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: be sixty interviews fifteen minutes of pop. It's now I

383
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: think forty eight interviews at eighteen minutes of pop. Well,

384
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: the the top thirty visit is a big deal because

385
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: if I'm thinking about drafting, let's say Ceedee Lamb. But

386
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: if I'm a general manager, Slash the coach and I

387
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: don't know him, that well, I've watched the film and

388
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: I like it. I've talked to my scouts, boots on

389
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: the ground, got the information. I still want to meet

390
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: the guy. You know. It's one thing drafting a guy

391
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: in the fifth or six round and not ever meeting him.

392
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: If you're the coach, it's a little risky, but still

393
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: it's just the reality of the business. But financially, you're

394
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: not tied to him. You can cut him and it

395
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt you. You gotta know your first and second

396
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: round picks. Like it was easy for Kyle Shanahan to

397
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: draft Deebo Samuel last year he coached have been the

398
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. Got him and his coach gotta spend a

399
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: lot of time with him. It's another thing to draft

400
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: a guy at the top of the second round when

401
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: you never even met him. Now we hear about it sometimes.

402
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs did it somewhat with Mahomes, But

403
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: as Veach said, Veach had done so much work on him,

404
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: he'd scouted him for two years really closely. Like he

405
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: did do a lot of work, and he was their

406
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: top scout at the time. Doing that work, It's another

407
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: thing to draft. I'm just gonna throw this guy's name out,

408
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. If I'm whoever, and if I'm John Gruden,

409
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: I have to meet him and more than just the

410
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: eighteen minutes of the Combine. I I just do now.

411
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: I remember John Lynch told a story that they talked

412
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: to Mike McGlinchey at the Combine. They liked him as

413
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: a player. They interview him at the Combine and they

414
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: loved him, and that was I think when they were

415
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: fifteen minute interviews. And then after that, I don't think

416
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: they brought him in because they didn't want anyone to

417
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: know how much they liked him. But they knew when

418
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: he left that they knew there was a chance they

419
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: might draft that guy. They were smitten for him, So

420
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: there's some of that. But they did meet the guy,

421
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: and I'd say McGlinchey and Ceedee Lamb might be this too.

422
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: Certain players are just tim tebal off the field, so

423
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: you don't really need to think much about him. But

424
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: most players not, even if their character issues, just you know,

425
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: there might be something in his personality that you just

426
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: want to spend some time around the guy. They might

427
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: not be positive, might not be negative, just somewhere in

428
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: the middle, just the guy is different. We're all different.

429
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: We're all not. Have you ever met two humans that

430
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: are the same. They don't exist. That's where the visits

431
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: and even the Here's another thing. A lot of teams

432
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: send position coaches like if you're gonna draft a running

433
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: back and do Staley's my running back coach? Well, and

434
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: I know, like if I'm the Eagles, for example, and

435
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: I drafted Miles Sanders last year in the second round

436
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: was the third round, I think it was a second round,

437
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: and I go, well, I need another running back to

438
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: go with him. So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

439
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: draft a guy super high, but I would draft a

440
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: guy somewhere between the fourth and the sixth round. We'll

441
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: get a list of like the majority of guys, maybe

442
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: ten guys that we like that will be in that range.

443
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna send Deuce on a on a fifteen

444
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: day couple of weeks, just fly around the country and

445
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: go work out. Will go work those players out right,

446
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: reports come back rank them, and we'll kind of attack

447
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: it from there, Like is that gonna go on? Now?

448
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: I mean, sure as hell doesn't look like it. So

449
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna be elements to the draft process, which this

450
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: is all a process that aren't going to exist and

451
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be strictly on the film, which for

452
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: the most part, and I have always believed this majority

453
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: of mrs are not with the player, there with the person.

454
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: And the more time a position coach I trust, And

455
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: that's why I use Deuce, Like, if if Deuce likes

456
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: the guy, I think the guy is gonna be good.

457
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: Just that simple, and he's he's got a feel. And

458
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: every staff has these couple of position coaches. They can

459
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: just go, Yep, that's our type guy or Nope, that's

460
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: not our type guy, and you trust him, and you

461
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: just you just send that guy. And it helps the

462
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: draft process so much. Just gets to spend some time

463
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: with five or six players that you have grouped in

464
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 1: the same little clump that if they were all there

465
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: in the fifth round as of middle of March, you

466
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: don't know how you'd rank them. The more information you get,

467
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: you know, I don't love that personality. I don't like

468
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: that person. I like that guy. Jim Washburn, who was

469
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: the d line coach when I was with the Eagles.

470
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: He's like Fletcher Cox is the dude. He he thought

471
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: he was the guy and he was dead on you

472
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: knew it. Fletcher Cox probably go the Hall of Fame

473
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: one day. And that's you're good, really talented position coaches

474
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: that are good evaluators and just good judges of people,

475
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: like great evaluator of football character and and and kind

476
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: of work at the character, just the character that surrounds

477
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: what it takes to be an NFL player. You do

478
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: depend on two or three guys on every staff during

479
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: this time of year, and it doesn't feel like, uh,

480
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: some of this stuff might not get pushed back. It

481
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: might get just you know, deleted. It just it might

482
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: not happen. It might it might just vanish this year,

483
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: which again back to what I originally said, that's the

484
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: life ship happens. It's just gonna kind of change. I

485
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: I wonder if you know, in a couple of three

486
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: or four years, it'll be like, ah, we didn't have

487
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: enough time because of Corona. I would imagine. I don't

488
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: know if people will outwardly make that excuse because you

489
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: kind of look bad, but it'll be It wouldn't shock

490
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: me if there's some articles like some gms don't love

491
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: this process. They're getting things taken away from because it's

492
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: an it's a league that the reason that the scouts

493
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: weren't yanked off the road right away is because the

494
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: competitive it you're so terrified, Well, if another team is

495
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: not doing it, I can't do it. It's just I

496
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: have to keep up with the jones. Is because if

497
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: I don't do that, we'll we'll take a step back.

498
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: Because the difference in the NFL between the halves and

499
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: the have nots is like two players and a good coach,

500
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: you know. In the NBA, it's like, if you don't

501
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: have Lebron or James harden Staff, you've got no chance

502
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: to win in baseball. If you don't either have Billy

503
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Bean or a big payroll, you're gonna lose. In football,

504
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: it's just the difference between like the Redskins and the Cowboys.

505
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: Next year could just be like if Ron Rivera gets

506
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: the right quarterback, right, who's to say the Redskins couldn't

507
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: be solid next year. Things change fast in the league.

508
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 1: It's the one sport where every year new teams make

509
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs, every year first teams go to last place.

510
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: Just the constant. I don't know if parody is the

511
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: right word, because over at ten one of your period.

512
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: Similar teams make the playoffs a lot, but on any

513
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: given year, like in the sport. You know, the sport

514
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: is based off the premise. Any given Sunday thing change.

515
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: You know, so these this draft is big for a

516
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: team like Sean McDermott talking to him at the combine

517
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: like he's the team that probably feels he's a player

518
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: or two away from being in the a f C

519
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: Championship game. I mean, this draft to him is massive.

520
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: So you take some of these things away from him,

521
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: I bet, just like in society, just a lot of

522
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: uncertainty surrounding the draft prospects right now. Okay, kind of

523
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: feels weird, but you know it's still a Middlecoff mail back.

524
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: Got a bunch of questions will fire through him at

525
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff is the Instagram handle. You just send me

526
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: a d M and we talked on the show. Well,

527
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: actually I might need a lot of these over if

528
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: if free agency gets pushed back and the draft gets

529
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: pushed back, it's gonna be uh some open in real

530
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: estate to do some to do who knows what, I

531
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: don't even know. Do you think major League Baseball would

532
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: benefit if players could hit free agency after four years

533
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: if service time of seven years, so players can sign

534
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: bigger contracts in their twenties instead of their thirties. Also,

535
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: do you think the NFL could benefit from a minor

536
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: league system like MLB does so players can get reps? Uh?

537
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: I think baseball is definitely a screwed up system too

538
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: many guys because you gotta wait six years so you

539
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: hit free agency. But that's six years until you get

540
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: to the big leagues. So if I'm a college player,

541
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: and this is the benefit, this is why Kyler Murray

542
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: played football, because Kyler Murray before he got to let's

543
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: say he made the big leagues, which he was a

544
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: first round pick, he would have he might have been

545
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: in the minors for three years. So he's twenty one

546
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: years old. He gets to the miners until twenty four

547
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: years old gets up. Let's say he becomes a good player,

548
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't become a free agent n til thirty. Well,

549
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: think about Kyler Murray and football. He's the number one

550
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: overall pick, signs a thirty five million dollar contract, start

551
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: some immediately, is a quarterback, so he's really famous is

552
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: four years away? If he's really good, Well, hell, he's

553
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: already a year in he's three years away from an extension,

554
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: so that there is it sucks being a good baseball

555
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: player because you gotta wait forever. That's why I think

556
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people I think that there is going

557
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: to be a strike in uh in baseball. I'm still

558
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: traveling for work and doing the same things I always

559
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: try to do, avoid getting sick from the cold and flu.

560
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: But watching events of today and today's weird thought of

561
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: all the league's NFL and Major League Baseball best positions

562
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: against corona fans typically outside and especially football, if it's cold,

563
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: fans are bundled up and have mass over their face

564
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: to keep warm. Serious question, how do league's plan for

565
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 1: something like this? And while combine had passed, if travel

566
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: gets shut down in the US like other countries, what

567
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: impacts is there to the draft if any, since scouts

568
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: won't be able to get on airplane? Related question, what

569
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: about college recruiting. I saw the SEC shut down college recruiting.

570
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: Like I I talked about the pro days in the draft.

571
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna it's gonna cripple it. Your your

572
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: first question, how do they plan for something like this?

573
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: I think this is part of life. I mean, there

574
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: are things in tragedies. I don't know if we'd call

575
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: this a tragedy yet it's a pandemic. You know, tragedies

576
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: when you like Kobe Bryant's situation is a tragedy. You

577
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: know when you're when your parents passed. I mean, I

578
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: lost my dad a couple of years ago. He was sick,

579
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: and he had been sick for a little while, and

580
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: while we didn't know the severity of his sickness, it

581
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: turned out he had pancreatic cancer my gut and we

582
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: just he acted a lot different the last year. Well,

583
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, it turns out his old stubborn ass was

584
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: so sick he just kept his mouth shut, but he

585
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: was a different human being. It just started getting weird.

586
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: You know, when when but I think I'm going people

587
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: you know that have tragedies in their life, whether it's

588
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: a I'm gonna get extreme here, but their son becomes

589
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: a paraplegic, or they lose a family member, a teenager

590
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: I manage of the worst case of things, or you know,

591
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: a guy gets in a drunk driving action. I don't

592
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: even know. I mean, these things happen every day, not

593
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: to always. I mean, for the most part, you don't

594
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: even know him. You see them about on the news.

595
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean, tragedy strikes all the time, and you just

596
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to keep going good or bad.

597
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean we have good things happened to us too,

598
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: But I I think there's just things in this crazy

599
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: world that we're a part of being human beings that

600
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: you just don't know what's coming, you know. And this

601
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: is something that you would have said, Corona two months ago.

602
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: You would have said, light you want a line, you know,

603
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: draft is it on tap? Now? Corona? I don't think

604
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: we're ever gonna say the word Corona again the same.

605
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: Can you give a take on how it's cool to

606
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: hate on billionaires and kind of snowflakey When a billionaire

607
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: says they're gonna do a charitable donation, then there's always

608
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: the one guy who is like, in relative terms, it's

609
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: like you give or I give fifteen dollars then, contrasted

610
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,239
Speaker 1: with Cuban being a good guy. I think you'd make

611
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: a great take out of my poorly constructed paragraph. Yeah,

612
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm very uncomfortable with the way the media treats owners

613
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: in general. Now, are there you know, quote unquote ship

614
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: heads and d bags and bad dudes for sure, But

615
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: are most guys pretty good guys? You know Joe Lacob, like,

616
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's a brash talker, but does he do

617
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: a lot for the community, and does he reinvest a

618
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: lot in the community. Or Mark Cuban or Jed York

619
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: or I'm just using the guys in my backyard, the

620
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: giants in their ownership. Yes, you know it is Dan

621
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: Snyder a bad owner one million percent? I do. I

622
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: mean people you Redskin fans might know. I don't know

623
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: in much information. I imagine the Redskins are do give

624
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: a lot back the guy. I think we all act

625
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: like these owners are just scumbags. And I talked about

626
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: this at length on my other pod about the Corona.

627
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: I I get uncomfortable when we talk about greed. When

628
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: you run a big, big business, you have enormous expenses,

629
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: like Joe Lacob right now, he's a rich guy, but

630
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: he over extended himself and got really aggressive to build

631
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: this building in San Francisco. His expenses per game, while

632
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: he makes five to six million a game there, he

633
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: depends on a lot of revenue to pay that and

634
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: think about his bill, well, Steph think about several of

635
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: his employees. Clay Thompson makes thirty five million, Steph makes

636
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: forty Draymond now makes on top of the other players,

637
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: his coaches, his insurance that he pays on the building,

638
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: his countless, the payments that he's paying for his workers,

639
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: which again I mean he's it's a business. When when

640
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: we say greed like part of it is just to

641
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: keep the wheel churning of money and money out, money

642
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: and money out. Really, you know who's making the most

643
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: cash and the most liquid are players, especially in the

644
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: NBA the NFL not as much. I mean a few players.

645
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: I would imagine several players in the NBA, Lebron, Steph Harden,

646
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: some of the younger guys are probably not there yet.

647
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: Chris Paul are more liquid. I'm talking you look in

648
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: their bank account. They might have two hundred million dollars. Now,

649
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban might have two hundred million dollars and Jerry

650
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: Jones might not. Mark Davis doesn't, Mike Brown doesn't, the

651
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: vec Rana DVA doesn't. We just like pointing and the

652
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: media does. And I've said this all the time. I

653
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: took journalists journalism classes at cal Pauly. I just took

654
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: a lot of business classes. I think would behoove a

655
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: lot of people. J A. Donde tweeted last night that

656
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: all the tickets of all the cancel game should not

657
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: be refunded. They should all go to the part time

658
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: workers because everyone that is getting that every everyone that

659
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: bought tickets that is disposable income. I got no issue

660
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: with Jay, I've always kind of liked them, but that

661
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: that is a laughable opinion, because my take would be

662
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: beside rent and food and like basic stuff for your

663
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: kids to clothe them, everything is disposable income, and to

664
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: act like everyone going to an NBA game is super

665
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: wealthy would be one of the most the most moronic

666
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: thoughts ever. It's just it's just false. I mean I

667
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: I bought tickets to go to an NBA game the

668
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: other night, and by no means rich that two I

669
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: paid for. The two tickets were not that I need

670
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 1: the money, but I don't just give that money away.

671
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean nothing to me. And I think sometimes

672
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: you see some of these takes of people in the media,

673
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: it's like, guys, can you guys read a business book

674
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: for the love of God and you don't need to

675
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: be pro like listen, I'm not trying to beat the

676
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: drums like while they cancel these games, the owners should

677
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: profit at the same level. Of course not, but they're

678
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna lose their ass and they're you know, they're depending

679
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: on paying a lot of people that when you run

680
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: a business, people think like liquid liquid liquid. A lot

681
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: of the money is tied up. That's the way business works.

682
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you guys that are listening

683
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: to this because a lot especially I've gotten a lot

684
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: of listeners from the column crowd. You guys are an

685
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: educated crowd. You guys understand how this works. To me,

686
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: there's a big difference between being quote unquote greedy, which

687
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: the NFL owners when it comes to seventeen and eight

688
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: keen games, you could you could argue that's greedy. Now

689
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: are they greedy? And everything they do by giving the players,

690
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, some more money, and the way they treat players,

691
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: and the way they pay their coaches. No league pays

692
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: the coaches like they do in the NFL. I'm not

693
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: talking just the head coaches that make more in the

694
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: NFL than the other juice, but I'm talking the assistant coaches,

695
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: the millionaires that are being created to be cording eights.

696
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: That doesn't get tat. That's not sexy. We saw the

697
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: NFL was public enemy number one for many years with

698
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: the media because I think we all acknowledge it stands

699
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: for you know, capitalism and just just you know, aggressive

700
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: business more than the NBA, who loves to, you know,

701
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 1: kind of be a little more progressive. Yet we saw

702
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: are they any different than the NFL. We saw when

703
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 1: China came up with Darryl moriy what happened. The NBA

704
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: got China's back because they love their revenue source. You

705
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: know who likes revenue sources? All of us, we all

706
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: do because everything costs money. My money just gets cut off.

707
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: Like I I like over three dollars in this conduct,

708
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: I gotta pay it off. I got a mortgage to

709
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: pay off. You guys house payments, payments for your kids,

710
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: like we all need this revenue to keep coming in.

711
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: We all start living. And money's money is all relative.

712
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: Whether fifteen dollars to me is you know, five million

713
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 1: dollars to Joe Lake up or Jed York, it's still

714
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: the same. Like that still means something. Now you can

715
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: still the difference is when if we all get cut

716
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: off tomorrow. Myself, I'm only surviving for a finite period

717
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: of time. I don't have an unlimited amount of money

718
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: in my savings account. That money would run out relatively fast.

719
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: I actually took a little and put it in this

720
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 1: in my stock account because there's a couple of stocks.

721
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: If they get to a couple low numbers, I'm diving

722
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: back in. But that's a risky move. I actually put

723
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: a five figure amount in my stock account, and I

724
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: started thinking, like, is that a smart move? And then

725
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: I started thinking, you know, sometimes in life you gotta

726
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: have some balls and risk some stuff. But that's a

727
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: risk I'm willing to take. Put it backfire. I just

728
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: think we just love shipping on owners all the time.

729
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: It's just it just never ends. It gets exhausting to me.

730
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm not saying they're all I'm not calling them

731
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: you know, mother Teresa here, But there is I say

732
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: it all the time. If I go to a Niner

733
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 1: game next year and Joe Schmo jumps off the top

734
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: of the building, land's head first and killed himself, does

735
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo or Tom Brady, We'll see how free agency

736
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: plays out or Nick Bosa or Joe Staley or any

737
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: of those guys have to worry about what just happened

738
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: to that human. No, they shower and they go home.

739
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: That's all on the owner. The players, especially in the

740
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: NBA and baseball. Steph Curry now really doesn't even have

741
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: a liability. He could break his ankle or tear his

742
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: a c L tomorrow and it wouldn't matter at all.

743
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: That entire contract is coming his way. Kevin Durant tore

744
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: his achilles. Every team in the league was lined up

745
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 1: to give him a max contract and he got one.

746
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: The hell the Warriors were given offering him more money.

747
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: I I just I give Kevin Loves some credit because

748
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: I said the the NBA is by far the hanger

749
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,479
Speaker 1: hat were the most outspokenly. Again, that's fine. I got

750
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: no problem with being a big talker. Just back it

751
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: up with your actions. And there are probably thirty plus

752
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: players in the NBA worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

753
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: Like the NFL, rich player might have twenty million in

754
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: the bank. In the NBA, to be i'd consider you rich,

755
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: you'd have a hundred plus million in the bank. Kevin

756
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: Love has made two hundred plus million in his career,

757
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: and I gave him he'd offered a hundred thousand dollars

758
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: to help out these workers that are going to be impacted.

759
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: I think every NBA team has a player on their

760
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: team probably worth over a hundred million dollars. Some players

761
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: have multiple like those guys, which all the owners need

762
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 1: to pick up the tab? Why why out the players

763
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: pitch in a little too? It's an easy one for him.

764
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: I I have Kevin loved a lot of credit, and

765
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: there there would be that the same people that should

766
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: on the owners will be like a hundred thousand means

767
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: nothing to him? What I mean, what are we doing

768
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: when we're playing that game? That game bothers me? It

769
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: really does. Uh. Anyways, here's a question with this TB

770
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: a more than likely passing in the NFL moving on

771
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: from THHC testing, what does that mean for a dude

772
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: like Josh Gordon? Is he absolved? Is he sitting around

773
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: somewhere praying to God this actually passes? Honestly, I hope

774
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: that is the fact in the case. That's a great question. Um,

775
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: I can't honestly answer. I don't know if I had

776
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: to guess, you know, you know, like in society. Right,

777
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: they've gone back and they've retroactively taken I don't know

778
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: what the exact word is. I'm missing there's a specific word.

779
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: And they've absolved people's charges. Right, if you were serving

780
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: five years for selling a hundred dollars or the weed

781
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: because I was your second strike, they've let those people

782
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: out in prison. Right, there's a big difference we've realized

783
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: between selling a dime bag and selling a crack rock.

784
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,959
Speaker 1: And it felt like when I was growing up, my

785
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: my my dad, if you said weed or crack in

786
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: like ninety one, he would have thought they were the

787
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: same thing. That the marketing against weed was. You gotta

788
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: tip your hat to the alcohol industry, the cigarette industry

789
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: that you might as well in the people, the baby boomers,

790
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: at least the baby boomers that I was around. I

791
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: mean that wheedles meth. You know what turns out? You know,

792
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: actually we might be better for you than alcohol. Do

793
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: you know what I'm learning? You know the worst thing

794
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: that I I use sugar, I mean sugar and I

795
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't know I would let those guys play, but

796
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: I with with Roger in the NFL. You never know, Uh, Hi,

797
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: John really big fan. Just a question as a British

798
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: guy who has played American football for the last seven years,

799
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: I was wondering what you thought of the prospect of

800
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: NFL Europe returning or even European XFL in the future,

801
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: as basketball has produced many great European athletes from having

802
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: those euro leagues. It's a good question, you know. I

803
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: would say they would just keep messing with the XFL.

804
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: I think the europe League is a little complicated logistically. Now,

805
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: maybe they could add an XFL TA team to London.

806
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 1: Maybe that would be on the table. I could see

807
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: that maybe if this XFL thing, you know, keeps going

808
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: the way it is, you put an XFL team in

809
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: London and it's kind of a precursor to the Jags

810
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: moving over there. I'm a diehard Eagles fan living in California.

811
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: What is your opinion on the Eagles should do in

812
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: regards to the draft of free agency? We have a

813
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: solid uh tight tight end group, but need a lot

814
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: of help at running back and receiver. I would love

815
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: to see the Eagles go after Sammy Watkins and another

816
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver to be a top threat with the Sean Jackson.

817
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: Your thoughts well, you know, Deshawn's now in his early

818
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: thirties and he couldn't make it through more than one

819
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: game last year. So I think, and I know that

820
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: one game he had like a hundred fifty yards two touchdowns.

821
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: You almost have to look at anything you get from

822
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: de Shawn next year is gravy al Sean because of

823
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: his contracts probably stuck. You got Arths and got her.

824
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: You got Miles Sanders, who looks pretty good. You'd probably

825
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: like to get a physical back in the mid mid

826
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: rounds in the draft to go with him. I think

827
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, you know, maybe a veteran guy like an

828
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders. You'll see if other players are cut, you

829
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: get involved in. Dion Lewis was just released from the Titans.

830
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: Now he's a little like Miles Sanders, but you know,

831
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: the West Coast offense kind of what Doug and Andy Reid.

832
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: They like those little scap backs, and maybe you sign

833
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: a guy like that. I think you think about drafting

834
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: a guy in the first couple of rounds, and then

835
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: I think you signed a wide receiver. But to me,

836
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: the number one they need a corner. They do not

837
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: have functional corners. So if you signed Byron Jones, and

838
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: maybe you draft a wide receiver in a corner in

839
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: some rotation in the first and second round. That that

840
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,959
Speaker 1: would probably be what I would do. But you would

841
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: think if you can keep the tight ends healthy, you've

842
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: got two dynamic tight ends. We got one great tight end,

843
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: and then you have got or who should be a

844
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: good player. You got Miles Sanders who should be really good,

845
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: and then you need you know, Greg Award Junior is

846
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: pretty good player. I talked to Doug at this combine.

847
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: I was like, I, Doug, that guys play. So how

848
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: did you become a scout for the Eagles? What were

849
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: the steps for you getting there? Uh? You know, I

850
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: just sent and you read a letter and he you

851
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: only back and said, come no, I you know, I

852
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 1: worked in college football. I've told the story. I got

853
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: involved when I was an undergrad at how Poly. I

854
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: became a graduate assistant in recruiting at Fresno State, and

855
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: then we had a lot of NFL players, you know,

856
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: Bryan Matthews my second year was I think fift overall pick,

857
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: maybe replaced Ladinian Thomason. So basically every scout in the

858
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:39,479
Speaker 1: country was coming through and uh in recruiting, you work

859
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: with the scouts. I worked with the pro liaison, meaning

860
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: the guy that gives all the information for your college

861
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: players to the scouts, and I just got to know him,

862
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: and one thing led to another and and I got

863
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: an opportunity. But I tell people all the time when

864
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: they think about wanting to work in in scouting, work

865
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: work in college and try to work with a bigger

866
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: pro graham like a mid major or a major. That's

867
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 1: where the NFL players come from, and the scouts will

868
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: come through. As a cowboy fan, Am I crazy to

869
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: want to move on from docket over thirty million a

870
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: year and possibly signed Jamis and let him Ari walk

871
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: and draft a receiver and keep Byron Jones. Jamis has potential,

872
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: just needs to less picks healthy with eye surgery. Who knows.

873
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of faith in Jamis's uh

874
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: and Jamis is Lasik. I've never I don't remember a

875
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: Lasi that people thought was gonna have that big of

876
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: a changing moment for human Now we'll see Steph Curry

877
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: got lasick, but he could shoot before it, you know,

878
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'd have to study Byron Jones

879
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: to have a legitimate take. I mean, clearly he's a

880
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: solid player. Is he highest paid corner in NFL history? Worthy?

881
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: That that makes me a little nervous. You did trade

882
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: a first round pick for a Maria, But as we've

883
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: talked about on here, Amary can be a little hit

884
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: or miss. I'm with you. I don't love paying Dak

885
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: historic money, but he is pretty good. The problem is

886
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: if Dac doesn't get any better from here on out,

887
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: you're just stuck with Dak paying him this historic freight.

888
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty risky. Like you're right, I mean, if

889
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: Jamis cuts down some picks, you get him with McCarthy,

890
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: you get him with some of your you know, you

891
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: keep him Mari You got what's his name from Colorado State? Uh?

892
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup? You you got Zeke? You know? I think

893
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: you draft like you hell, you could draft a receiver

894
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: to go along with those two guys too. And it's

895
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: it's an offensive league. Your defense is already solid. Maybe

896
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: you look at it like that. I just you kind

897
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: of stuck. You know, this is why the Cowboys, I

898
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: don't know why they wait so long to always pay players.

899
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: You gotta pay him earlier, so you get them at

900
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: discounted prices. The cowboys wait, and then Jerry loves him

901
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: and he pays him a premium, and then he gets

902
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 1: into cap trouble. I mean, it's kind of on Jerry.

903
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: He just hates signing early because he I don't know

904
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: just I love Jerry the business man, but God, sometimes

905
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: with his contracts, he's just pretty hit or miss. Sorry

906
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: for you know, this is a different podcast, Corona podcast.

907
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys, uh going with me and living

908
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: with me and coming through this bumpy ride. And you know,

909
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: I see you next week and hope everyone stays safe,
