1 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: Well, well, well, back again, Baby, back again, the Three 2 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: and Out podcasts with Me Best, John Millcoff and uh 3 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: as we headed into summer, Happy summer. As I'm recording 4 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: this about five thirty in the afternoon on Monday, it's 5 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: kind of weird watching Michigan. They're playing the College World 6 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: Series right now. I mean that's their team is actually 7 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: pretty sweet. As I'm as we're starting here, they're kicking Uh. 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say they're kicking Vanderbild's ass, but they're up 9 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: a couple of runs. So who would have thought? Don't 10 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,639 Speaker 1: sleep on the Wolverines as athletic program. I guess having 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: all that money doesn't hurt. But there's a football podcast 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: and we're in the middle of the football summer. But 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 1: don't worry. You know, I've worked in radio for years. 14 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: I know how to make content, Baby, and we we 15 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: got some good stuff today. Actually, uh some thoughts on 16 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: Cam Newton. I have a couple of thoughts on what 17 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: if you haven't seen I would imagine a lot of 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: people listen to this because you're consuming it a podcast. 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: You know, younger, you're more in tune. Maybe with social media, 20 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: you've seen Cam Newton. I have some thoughts on that 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper was doing something with Gatorade. So he's doing 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of interviews. I watched his interview today with 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick. Have a couple of thoughts on his free agency. 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about him. And then one of 25 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: the stories today has come out about Tyree Hill, who 26 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: has been absolved in terms of the law. Uh. They 27 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: basically have said that he didn't do anything. But now 28 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: it's in Roger Goodell's hands. And I think the Tyreek 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: Hills suspension because I do think he's gonna get suspended 30 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: because I think we have precedent where when you just 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: keep your name in negative headlines, whether you're guilty or innocent, 32 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell has proven he doesn't care if you're innocent, 33 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: he will still suspend you. Uh, And I think that's 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the best players in the league. 35 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: So depending on how long his suspension gets into, I mean, 36 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: it could have major ramifications on you know, one of 37 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: the best teams in the league. We'll talk about that 38 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: and then at the end, like we always do. Middlecoff 39 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: mail Bag, Instagram, d MS wide Open. I actually told 40 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: Instagram today like I recorded the video say I needed 41 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: some help on middlecoff mailbag questions my then my d 42 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: M s. I mean, I have so many d ms 43 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't even know what to do with. So if 44 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: you do have a d M question, probably hold off 45 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: because I'm I'm gonna be answering these questions for the 46 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. Uh. But I appreciate, you know, 47 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: everyone interacting. It's the way kind of we interact in 48 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen. You know, I'm not big on I 49 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: actually when I hosted radio shows, I'll be honest, and 50 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: this is no shade. I know a lot of you 51 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: guys interact with social media, know what you're talking about. 52 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: But for the most part, the callers we got sucked. Uh. 53 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: And I'm not a big fan. Like if I'm listening 54 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: to a radio show and you bring in a collar, 55 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: I changed the channel, like if I and that's a 56 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: great part. Like Colin show, he doesn't take phone calls, 57 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: you know, And if I'm going to a radio show, 58 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm not really there for the phone call. That's why 59 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: I like, you know. Now, I do like hearing another voice, 60 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: and I need to get some interviews. We're gonna try 61 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: to do them. During training camp and have a couple 62 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: of ideas before training camp comes. But this is not 63 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: really a collar driven UH medium just to begin with. 64 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: And one way I thought that I could, you know, 65 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: interact with you guys was through the middlecoff mail bag 66 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: and I've enjoyed doing it. But let's get to Cam Newton, 67 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 1: which I think you know it was probably the number 68 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: one viral story over the last I don't know, over 69 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: the weekend. And I have two main takeaways from the 70 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: Cam Newton UH situation. One on just the most basic 71 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: level of once we have the information, I'll get into 72 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: the way society films everything and starting to become a 73 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: little uncomfortable with it. But like I said, we only 74 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: move forward as society, we never go backwards, so the 75 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: filming is not going away. But let's just talk about 76 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: the deal. I'd say one of the great parts about 77 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: America is I can just walk up to you in 78 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: front of your car, and let's say you're driving a 79 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, a brand new Mercedes, and I can just 80 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: say I'll pay you eighty grand for it right there 81 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: on the spot. You can say yes, you can say no, 82 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: obviously if you own the car. I I can walk 83 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: up to any house in any neighborhood and just knock 84 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: on the door and say hey, and I know people 85 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: that has happened to It's it's obviously never happened to me. 86 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: I would love for it to happen to me, because 87 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: if you made a number so high, I would give 88 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: it to you on the spot. Where I've had people, 89 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: especially like family friends, that had like, let's say, beach 90 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: front property. And again I'm not not like beach front 91 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: property and like Newport Beach or anything. I'm just talking 92 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: in places like uh around San Louis Obispo and this 93 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: place Aptos, a little uh north of Santa Cruz, where 94 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 1: people have just been offered X number for their house. 95 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: And it's a great part about a free market. You 96 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: can just pay for anything at any moment, or that 97 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: person can just say no. Cam Newton attempted to make 98 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: a deal he, as it turns out, is very cheap, right. 99 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: And I'm not even talking about the deal, which was 100 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: a bad deal that he even extended, but just the 101 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: deal that if he's gonna go on a ten hour flight. 102 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: Now I don't know what airport he was in because 103 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: I know he's flying to France, but I don't know. 104 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: If Charlotte to frances ten hours, that doesn't quite seem right. 105 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: So maybe he's coming from l A. I don't know. 106 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: Maybe he's coming from Alabama. I think that's is that what? 107 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: He's from Alabama? Wherever he's coming from, but he's done 108 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: a ten hour flight. If I'm Kim Newton and I'm 109 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: six ft six and I've I've stood by him a 110 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: couple of times. I was actually at Radio City Music 111 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: Hall of the night he was drafted. I've seen him. 112 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: I think like a second year they played the forty 113 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: nine or is a candlestick? And I remember thinking, like, 114 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: this dude is Lebron James. He is a massive human being. 115 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: He's also worth a hundred plus million dollars. If I 116 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: was worth that much money and wasn't gonna fly private 117 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: because that is an expensive private plane. If you are 118 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: a little pipe, I'd still get a first class seat. 119 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: So Kim Newton gets just an economy seat. Offers this 120 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: guy fifteen hundred dollars for our seats now and a 121 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: lot of people keep asking me, middle cop, would you 122 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: have taken the deal? One? When I fly because of 123 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: the economic status of my life, I fly just basic seeding. Like, 124 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: so I'm never in business or economy unless like my 125 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: parents are playing paying for it and I'm going on 126 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: a family trip. If I'm just flying by myself or 127 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: with a girlfriend or whatever, we're getting normal seats. Hopefully, 128 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: one day business keeps going well, I can afford better seats. 129 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: So if I could afford those seats, that would mean 130 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: that a couple of grand on a ten hour flight, 131 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: Let's just say, doesn't mean that much to me, because 132 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: there's a big difference between a nicer, you know, more 133 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: leg room seat obviously and just the basic seating. Well, 134 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: we all know that we've all flown, whether it's domestically 135 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: or internationally or whatever, there is a massive difference at 136 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 1: price point, especially if you do it last minute or whatever. 137 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: So when Cam Newton walks up to this guy who 138 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: clearly is probably in an economic status, were like to me, 139 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: I'd probably think about that now, I'd probably my first 140 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: words out of my mouth. Hopefully maybe I you know, 141 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be star struck, but it might be like 142 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: damn Cam news making me offer. I might just take 143 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: his money. Hopefully I would have said, as a good businessman, 144 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: encounter offered him and maybe we would have met two 145 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: grand and I move, But from it's a low ball 146 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: offer to me. Have you ever checked a plane ticket 147 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: day of especially, and I'm that's just like for me 148 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: San Francis go to l A or San Francisco to Arizona. 149 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: Imagine l A to France day up? To me that 150 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: tickets to Grand right, I don't even know. I've never checked. 151 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: But you don't need to be, uh, work for American airlines. 152 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: So no, that's gonna be a pricing ticket to me. 153 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: At minimum, the number that you'd have to offer to 154 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: get a guy to think about moving, if i'm Cam 155 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: Newton is probably four grand, maybe five grand total. I 156 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: mean five grand gets the deal done. It should unless 157 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: this guy is a multimillionaire and money means nothing to him. 158 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: But fift Uh, his offer was borderline. It's sole thing. 159 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it really was. And Cam Newton is a guy. 160 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: It's not like he just got rich when he got 161 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: to the pros. We've seen this. He's been getting paid 162 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: since college, tons of money. Obviously, he was paid an 163 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: astronomical amount of money to go to Auburn. Missippi State 164 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: had also paid him because they thought they were getting 165 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: him let's call it what it is. When he went 166 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: to Florida, they probably paid him to And again you're 167 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: not getting moral high horse pro clutcher here. I am 168 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: pro paying players under the a table. I would die 169 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: for the Pack twelve to be more active in that market. 170 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: Probably why us out here on the West Coast are 171 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: getting our ass kicked because those guys in the SEC 172 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 1: they clearly pay a premium. I just saw a story recently, 173 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: I think, like bar stool well, it was like a 174 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: you know in New Orleans that a dude had a 175 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: guy that got arrested for laundering money had used the 176 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: laundered money to pay an offensive lineman's dad, like a 177 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: hundred fifty grand, like the amount of money. I always 178 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: think media members are so naive on social media when 179 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: they act like the poor players they're not getting paid. Yeah, 180 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: they're not getting paid above the table, but below the 181 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: table where no one's looking, they're getting enormous amounts of cash. Now, again, 182 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: is it done correctly? No. Should these guys be able 183 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: to profit out their likeness, for sure, but let's not 184 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: be naive, especially with all the information we have now 185 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: in basketball and football, these guys are getting paid and again, 186 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: I've been around a lot of these colleges, not in 187 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: the SEC but just on when I did the packed 188 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: well living pretty well. Hell, I was at Fresno State 189 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: and they were living well. I can't imagine what they're 190 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: living like in Alabama and Florida. Actually I know because 191 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: I know people that have coached there. It's pretty damn good. 192 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: So Cam Newton, I think he's a little out of 193 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: touch with money and then too in fairness to can 194 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: we probably shouldn't know about this story. And I'll be 195 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: the first. I'm guiltiest sin when I'm at event. I 196 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: was just at Pebble Beach a couple of weeks ago, 197 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: and the moment I got close to Dens and Johnson, 198 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: I was filming, the moment I got close to Phil 199 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson, I was filming. I filmed everything. Now. Granted, 200 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: I kind of do this for a job, so I 201 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: tried to push the content to people, but still, even 202 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: if I was working insurance whatever, I'd probably still be filming. 203 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: That's part of the culture. We're never changing. Like the 204 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: amount of stuff we can do on the phone now 205 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: is stupid. It's a huge part of our life and 206 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: anything we do, we feel we have to film or 207 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: record it or didn't happen. But I do feel a 208 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: little dirty when I'm watching it, Like Cam made an offer, 209 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: the guy said no, when he sat back down, he 210 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: didn't cause the scene, and now he's just getting destroyed white, 211 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: I mean crushed. I mean I kind of just made 212 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: fun of him. And we probably shouldn't know about this 213 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: like a famous person anymore. And I'm always hesitant because 214 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: I remember I don't know if you've seen the clip, 215 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: but Odell Beckham was on lebron Show and he said 216 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: he gets treated like a zoo animal because everywhere he 217 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: goes people mob him. And my takeaway was like, yeah, 218 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: welcome to fame. That's that's how really, like, how do 219 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: you think NBA players get treated? How do you think 220 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: Hollywood actors get That's part of fame. That's why you 221 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: make all the money. I mean, it sucks, that's part 222 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 1: of the deal. It Cam, clearly, you know Heisman Trophy 223 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: when an m v P. He's one of the poster 224 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: childs of the NFL. Now he hasn't played that well lately, 225 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: but we all know he's one of those famous players 226 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: in the league, one of the most polarizing players in 227 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: the league. One of the most physically gifted players we've 228 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: ever seen. And I mean he stands out like if 229 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins put a hat on, you might not notice him, 230 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: Like no one's missing camp, especially he had on his 231 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: goofy you know, top hat or whatever. But like he's 232 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: just making the guy an offer. Heah, hey, he'll give 233 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: you if you change seats. And a guy had to 234 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: immediately film, immediately film, like can't you just let the 235 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: guy live life now? Again? Like would I have filmed that? 236 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: Maybe I take a picture. So it's like I can't 237 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: crush the guy too much because I probably feel it 238 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: just guilty. But it's kind of sad that everything we 239 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: do now the moment we think like we can go viral. 240 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: It's one thing to go viral off something that naturally happens, 241 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: but just trying to take advantage of some famous person 242 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: that we have to film or have to take a picture, 243 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: someone's getting wasted. We oh, there's there's I'm just using 244 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: Cam Newton again, Like there's Cam Newton taking shots of tequila, 245 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: Like can't the guy just live life? And the answer 246 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: probably is no. But this was something that was like 247 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: it was pretty innocuous. He just wanted a bigger lay room. 248 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: Now kind of exposing this cheap or whatever. But I 249 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: think this is like, it's kind of crazy that this 250 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: story is about leading my show. Now, part of it 251 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: is ju but still, like every single person that I 252 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: fall in the NFL was talking about it, people laughing 253 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: about having to laugh at Cam Newton. At the end 254 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: of the day, White scare worth a hundred million dollars 255 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: successful NFL career, but he's got I mean, he's a human. 256 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: If I was him, I'd be a little embarrassed. And 257 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: it's just it's kind of crazy. I mean, it's really 258 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: that's just my dake. Like it's just it's kind of 259 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: sad indictment, but it also is just it's who we are. 260 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: And if anything, you've ever go to a concert lately, 261 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: I mean hell, like I said the Pebble Beach, you 262 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: went to Pebble Beach and you sat at like an 263 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: area where they were teeing off or hitting second shots. 264 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: Every single human again I raised my hand and guilt 265 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: had their phone out. And obviously if you watch, like 266 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: you go to YouTube and listen to music and you're 267 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: watching a live concert, just great. We we can't live 268 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: our life anymore. We're just the phone in the pocket. 269 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: We we wouldn't dare go anywhere without the phone in 270 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: our hip pocket and in our hand. But it just 271 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: it just never ends. And that I do feel some 272 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: compassion with everyone shipping on Cam Newton that you know, 273 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: I mean fifteen years ago, this this stuff type stuff 274 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: was happening all the time and no one ever knew. 275 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: He just made an offer, a low ball offer, a 276 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: terrible offer, and was denied. It was pretty normal, you know, 277 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: not nothing crazy, just the normal human interaction. The guy 278 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: said no, uh, and it exposed camp is being cheap 279 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: and it's part of it because it's two thousand nineteen. 280 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: If it's two thousand and seven, never happens. Okay, let's 281 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: get into a Mark Cooper because I think he was 282 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: doing kind of the car wash today all over different 283 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: radio shows with gatorade, and I heard him on Dan 284 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: Patrick and basically the way this was actually kind of 285 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: funny on Dan Patrick. I mean, he did throw some 286 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: serious shade at the raid or see if I can 287 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: get this for you guys, what do you miss about 288 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: the readers? What do I miss about the readers? I 289 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: missed my teammate. Okay, ok okay, you know what time 290 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: that's just shade. What do I miss about the graders? 291 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: But that's that's not really what I was trying to say, though. 292 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to throw shade at the Raiders here though. 293 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,599 Speaker 1: They basically just replaced him with the box safety. And 294 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: I think every team in the league if you said, 295 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: right now, you can have a Marie Cooper who's even 296 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent, or you can have Jonathan 297 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: Abraham who's done a rookie contract but still makes lot 298 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: of the first round pick. Who would you rather have? 299 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: I think the majority of teams rather Cooper, But you 300 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: know I could be wrong. Let's start with this. Dan 301 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: basically asked him at the end, like are you worried 302 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: about what Michael Thomas gets in the twenty two million? 303 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: Are you watching that and how it impacts you? And 304 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: he said no. And I talked about this last week 305 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: with a Marie Cooper. Mari and Michael Thomas aren't in 306 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: the same category. Michael Thomas has produced at a high 307 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: level of Mari has been very hit or missed. Now again, 308 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: I think why he's kind of throwing shade at the 309 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: Raiders like no one produces with the Raiders and his 310 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: first two years he went to the Pro Bowl. So like, 311 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: you know, the Raiders are in a place where people 312 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: go to succeed. We've seen that it's where people go 313 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: to die. That's what to me was so impressive about 314 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: what a Mari, Derek and Khalil Mack were doing because 315 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: that's not where people have success. Now. A Mari left 316 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: had a ton of success with Dallas, helped them make 317 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: it to the playoffs and it's going into his fifth 318 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: year option. In my recommendation, unless they make you an 319 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: offer like million dollars, which I don't think they would, 320 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: just play out the season because you're gonna be productive. 321 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: I think you'll catch between eighty and ninety balls, and 322 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: we've seen two things that you kind of got them 323 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: there back against the wall. If they signed doc right now, 324 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to franchise you. And if they don't 325 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: franchise you and let you hit the open market, which 326 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: it seems highly unlikely because they gave up a first 327 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: round pick for you, so they're gonna have to pay you. 328 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: Then if you have a big year and you prove 329 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: like you're kind of Daks, guy, They're going to pay 330 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: you now, right now. I do understand where they're coming from, 331 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: despite giving a first round pick, like, the production doesn't 332 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: equal this massive contract. The production to me equals like 333 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: Demonte Adams and he's making fourteen million dollars. But I 334 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: think Amory would immediately counter and go, well, Sammy Watkins 335 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: hit the open market and got sixteen, and their counter 336 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: would be, well, Amory, this is not the open market. 337 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: You're still under contract, so meet in the middle. I 338 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: think a team friendly deal would be seventeen. A major 339 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: win for a Mari would probably be eighteen and a half. 340 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: And I'd say when you talk about guaranteed money, Odell 341 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: Beckham got sixty five. If a Mari got like fifty eight, 342 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: that'd be pretty impressive. Or I'd say sixty that would 343 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: be a huge win for a Mari. If Dallas could 344 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: get him at like fifty, that'd be a pretty team 345 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: friendly deal. But I think he still has a lot 346 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: to prove. I've always been on a Mari. Cooper guy. 347 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: I saw what he didn't in Oakland, and that shouldn't 348 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: have been possible. Like I've seen countless players come through 349 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: and do nothing and he was awesome. Now he has 350 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: his flaws. He had a lot of concentration drops in Oakland. Uh, 351 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: there were times like he I wouldn't call him the 352 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: toughest player, you know that's something. DeAndre Hopkins is a 353 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: tough effort. Julio Jones, tough dude. Even Antonio Brown, like 354 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: he doesn't miss games and he produces like a Mari 355 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: has been a little hit or missed with that. But 356 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: I saw in Dallas he was like rejuvenated. It felt 357 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: like he was at Alabama again. And maybe he's just 358 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: a bright light sky Dallas in the in Alabama, like 359 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: they win in everyone watches. They're a big deal. The 360 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: Raiders a little under the radar. I would just play 361 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: this if I was his agent and they're a low 362 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: ball on me right now. Just play it out because 363 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: let's call it what it is. Even if he has 364 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: an average season, we saw what Sammy Watkins got, so 365 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: I dare you to let me hit the open market. 366 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: He'll get players get overpaid in the open market. Dallas 367 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: is not gonna do that because they just traded a 368 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: first round pick for you. Okay, franchise me because I 369 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: know you don't want to franchise me have all these 370 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: players you gotta take care of, right, Dac until he 371 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: gets signed, is gonna be going into his last year 372 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: of his contract. Zeke next year will be on a 373 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: fifth year contract. They're gonna want to get that done. 374 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith. I'm pretty sure this Jalen Smith fourth year, right, 375 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to pay him. They got a 376 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: lot of guys to pay, you know. So they're they're 377 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: gonna want to get this done, and they're gonna want 378 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: to meet Amari Cooper somewhere close to what he's asking 379 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: for just to get the deal done. I think Mary 380 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: is in a great spot again. I've been a big 381 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: believer in a Mari from day one. I loved his 382 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: body language and his offense. He's kind of got a 383 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: swag back in Dallas. I thought now it was risky 384 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,959 Speaker 1: at the time because it looked like they're pick might 385 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: be in the top ten. But the way it all 386 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: played out, trade and picked twenty seven for a Mari Cooper. 387 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: That's the easiest trade Jerry Jones will ever make. And 388 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: this is a year old guy down, a third year 389 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: old guy who's only scratched the surface. And I think 390 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna be poised for a big year. Okay, let's 391 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: get into Tyreek Hill. And I said two months ago 392 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: that my take on Tyreek Hill was, I mean, black 393 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: and white. If he did it, he should go to jail. 394 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: If he didn't, we shouldn't be so quick to jump 395 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: on things that we don't have the information to. I 396 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: don't know, and I've seen it before with Ruben Foster. 397 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm always uncomfortable in these situations. We've seen it countless 398 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: times in the NFL. We just don't know. And I 399 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: just yeah, he had a terrible mistake in the past. 400 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: But do I just assume they did again. I don't know. 401 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't know him personally. I know 402 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: people with the Chiefs did think. Unlike Kareem Hunt, who 403 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: they couldn't trust, who they just had a lot of 404 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: issues with, they had zero issues with Tyree Hill from 405 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: the moment he's been there, not one. Now this is 406 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: an issue, but it's pretty clear they believed when he 407 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: claimed he didn't do it. And then I always say this, 408 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: I hate when the NFL, when society, it's mainly the media. 409 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: I don't think fans do the media expects them to 410 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: be like the judge and jury like this is they're 411 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: in the private sector. Their goals to win. But if 412 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: the police says the guy is innocent, and that's what 413 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: Kansas City said that they did not think that he 414 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: had anything to do with this guy breaking his arm 415 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: or his young child. They don't think he did it. 416 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: If they died, he did it, you know, if they 417 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: said he's guilty and knee would cut him. But they 418 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: said he did not do it in Kansas City. So 419 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: the chiefs have just done nothing, and now it's in 420 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: the league's hand. So again, according to the police, he's 421 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: innocent here. And this is where I get like uncomfortab 422 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: bull with just saying because the media loves like throw 423 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: them in jail. But then they all happen to be 424 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: extreme liberal, you know, they all we know how they vote, 425 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: and they're clearly you know, in theory shouldn't be against 426 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: mass incarceration. I saw with Ruben Foster. So it's like, 427 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: you just want these guys to go to jail without 428 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: knowing whether they're guilty or innocent. Isn't that like a 429 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: whole societal problem. But again, they, you know, hypocrites. I 430 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: try not to be. I try to hang my hat. 431 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: One thing I take a lot of pride in. I 432 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: try to be very authentic. I'm not hypocritical on anything 433 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: if I can't avoid it. And this is something that like, 434 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: I think mass incarceration is a bad thing, right, I 435 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: am for innocent people not being incarcerated. So if he 436 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: didn't do it, he shouldn't be incarcerat. I don't like 437 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: calling for people to be incarcerated or go to jail 438 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: when I don't know. I wasn't there. And this he said, 439 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: she said thing I'm never comfortable with. And this is 440 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: where I think a lot of players have had problems 441 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: with Roger Goodell because now it's in Roger Goodell's hands 442 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: and it's pretty clear President would say Tyra Hill is 443 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: getting suspended, right even if he's innocent, Because Ezekiel Elliott, 444 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: who the police also absolved, got suspended for six games. 445 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: Remember Jerry Jones freaked hell. Tom Brady who you know 446 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: after Belichick speech a couple of years ago, was like 447 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: he didn't deflate the balls he had spending for four games. Now, 448 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: domestic violence and his domestic violence considered we hit your child, 449 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: whatever that is considered, whatever umbrella that isn't. It's sick, 450 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 1: it's terrible. So this is where it gets kind of dicey, like, 451 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: what does the NFL do with him? Ruben Foster, who 452 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: again was accused twice by a by a woman of 453 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: female to his ex girlfriend whatever, who made it all up, 454 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: literally made the whole thing up. She lied twice. Now 455 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: he should have got ding for being an idiot and 456 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: not allowing her when he was on the road and 457 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: they were flying to Tampa Bay bringing her there, especially 458 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: what had happened previously. So even though she made it 459 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: all up, I deserve, Like I didn't have a problem 460 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: thinking it. The NFL believed he deserves some sort of punishment, 461 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: and until he shattered his leg and screwed up his season, 462 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,239 Speaker 1: you know, not intentionally. Obviously, the NFL didn't suspend him, 463 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: but they find him too game checks and I was like, 464 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: you know what for just your ultimate stupidity, given what 465 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: you had just gone through. I'm okay with that now. 466 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: I'm also like, I don't see anyone in the media 467 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: saying lock her up because she's not done this to 468 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: Ruben Foster twice, she did to another guy, Like I mean, 469 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: that's where society has issues. Like, why are we not 470 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: making a big deal about these people that make these 471 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: things up. But again, on this situation with Roger Goodell, 472 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: what does he do? I I don't even know where 473 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: to guess, and I think guessing suspensions are really difficult. 474 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: My guests would be four games, but two wouldn't shock 475 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: me if they believe Tyreek Kill that he's innocent. For 476 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: if they're just unsure, they know they need to do something. 477 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: If they think, kind of like Zekiel Elliott, that he's 478 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: lying to them, they'll he's probably getting six or eight. 479 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: So I went through Kansas's schedule, like, Tyreek Hill is 480 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: a top fight player in this league, nine quarterback Khalil Mack, 481 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, Tyreek Kill. I mean, he's he's that good. 482 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: You know that. I don't think anyone would argue he 483 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: is elite. He is a dominant force in this league, 484 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: and he's on arguably a top two or three team 485 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: in the league. So his disappearance for whatever amount of 486 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: time is gonna be a big deal. So I just 487 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: wrote down their first eight games of the season. Let's 488 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: assume Tyreek gets Let's go go through the different scenarios. 489 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: Let's say he gets two games, at Jacksonville at Oakland. 490 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: I think they could win both those two games without 491 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. Now there, I don't look at them like 492 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: locks though. I think they would beat the Raiders without 493 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill the Jaguars Week one. Anything's possible. Let's say 494 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: it goes four games at Jacksonville, obviously at Oakland, and 495 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: then you get Baltimore at home, and then at Detroit. 496 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: I think that they could figure out a way. I 497 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: mean with Lamar Jackson that wing te offense, and then 498 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: Detroit kind of been shambles. You go three and one, 499 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: even without Tyree be killed where I think it would 500 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: get difficult if if it went six or eight games. 501 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: If it win eight games, it'd be hard for the 502 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: Chiefs obviously those first four games, and then it gets difficult. 503 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: You have Indie Houston both in Kansas City, the Indie Games. 504 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: A Sunday night game Indy, you'd imagine it would have 505 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: a little bit of a chip on their shoulder. Kansas 506 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: City kind of kick their ass in the playoffs last year. 507 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: Then you'd get Houston, who on paper is pretty good team. 508 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: You gotta go to at Denver short week Thursday night, 509 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: that's tough, and then off a long week, you get 510 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: Green Bay at home. So let's say suspending six games, 511 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 1: you could easily lose that Indian Houston games, even though 512 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: it's in arrowhead, like those two teams are just two 513 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: playoff teams and you take away the team's Obviously the 514 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are the most important players, but if you went 515 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: number after the quarterback, Tyreek Kill is the Chief's best 516 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: player in Houston and India are pretty loaded. Now. I 517 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: do think at Denver Thursday night, who knows how they're 518 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: gonna look. And then you do that long week green Bay. 519 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: Maybe you could handle it if you win eight games, 520 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: but I'd say five and three best case. If he 521 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: misses eight games. If he misses six, I mean you 522 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: could be looking at like three and three. If he 523 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: only misses two, you could have no issues and they 524 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: could be two and oh in their first two games. 525 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: I think the number of games you get suspended, and 526 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: I can't even begin to guess because I don't even 527 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: know what Roger Goodell will think, because it's pretty clear 528 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: what the police think. They didn't do it, you know, 529 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear what the media and Twitter thinks he's guilty, right, 530 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: So I don't know, and I'm just I am never 531 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: comfortable saying that young men's career should end off things 532 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: I don't have facts on, and I saw it, and 533 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: I guess part of this experience being here in the 534 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: bay with Ruben Foster and with some of these extreme 535 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: media people around here was just wrong. I mean they 536 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: literally should send him a note as an apology. I mean, 537 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: the chick made it up. Now you can ding him 538 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: for being dumb and being a round her, especially after 539 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: the first time. That was not healthy. You should cut 540 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: her out of your life. But we're all humans. We 541 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: we know if you're in a serious relay ship with someone, 542 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: it's it's easier said than done. Now, we would imagine 543 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: many people listening their significant other has never tried to 544 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: ruin their career, right, I can send them to jail. 545 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: That's pretty extreme. I think I would be able to 546 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: emotionally get over someone pretty quickly and cut them out 547 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: of my life. But again, easier said than done. Uh. 548 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: With Tyreek, I the information I have, the actual court 549 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: and the police say innocent. Twitter says guilty, and Rogers 550 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: probably somewhere in the middle. So I I can't even 551 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: begin to guess, but I will be very shocked, right, 552 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: if he doesn't get some games, even if the Leak 553 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: needs he is innocent because the president has kind of 554 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: been set by Roger Goodell that he kind of has 555 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 1: to suspend you just from drawing negative headlines. That's kind 556 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: of what they do in the NFL. Now, Okay, I 557 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: said I was gonna do every division every show, or 558 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: pick a division, every show until we've done them all. 559 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 1: I did the a f C East on Friday. I'm 560 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: gonna do the NFC East today. And what I'm gonna 561 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: do is I'm gonna go over all the over unders 562 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: and who I like to win the division based on 563 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: my bookie, literally my bookie. But one thing I'm gonna 564 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: dive a little deeper because someone hit me up, like 565 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: go into a little bit about you know, what you 566 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: like and what you didn't like the off season. So, okay, 567 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: this one's pretty easy one. The NFC East, which I 568 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: think is pretty clear. Two of the best teams, not 569 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: just in the NFC but probably in all of football 570 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: or in the NFC East. From a roster standpoint, you 571 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: could put Dallas and Philly's roster probably against any in 572 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: the entire league. They're stacked. I mean they got. They 573 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: got dudes in every position. So the betting favorite is 574 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: Philly and basically plus one to one. So you bet 575 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: at a hundred ducks, you went a hundred bucks. Uh, 576 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: the Eagles and they're over under his ten and I 577 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: think they're eleven or twelve win team. Now, to me, 578 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: the biggest move they made this offseason was something they 579 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: didn't really have to do. Arson Winz just came back 580 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: and they put all their chips in the middle of 581 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: the table and they extended him. But the other big 582 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: kind of ripple effect to that was they had to 583 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: make a decision with Foles and they just let him walk. 584 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: Pretty high level move, just let him walk. He ended 585 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: up making fifty million dollars guaranteed pretty big win win 586 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: for their situation. But now the elephant in the room 587 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: with this team is if Carson goes down, they no 588 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: longer can be counted upon. That doesn't mean that Nate 589 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: Sudfeld or the dude they drafted from Northwestern, whoever wins 590 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: the backup job, couldn't win some games because their roster 591 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: is good enough. But we don't know that, Like I 592 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: knew for a fact, we all did that Like last 593 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: year when Carson went down. They were equipped to win games. Now, 594 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: I don't think we all thought that they were gonna 595 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: figure out way to get in the playoffs, but they did, 596 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: and then they want a playoff game like once they 597 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: got to the playoffs, like I wouldn't bet against Nick Foles, 598 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: and then we didn't and he won the game even 599 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: against the Bears, Like that margin for error is gone. Now. 600 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: They added they had a good draft. They drafted their 601 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: tackle in the first round that not even gonna start. 602 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: But if Jason Peters gets hurt, boom, he's in. They 603 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: draft a little running back from Penn State that's good 604 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: j j Or take a Whiteside which is like a 605 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: crab Tree type player, jump ball guy in the red 606 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: zone should really help out. They already have a deep 607 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: receiving corps with Ertz who's tight end but he's a receiver, 608 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: and al Sean Uh they're running back group just in theory. 609 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: Adding that guy to go with Uh. They traded for 610 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: Jordan Howard should be a lot better. Defense is pretty stacked. 611 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: Their corners are a little bit of a question mark. 612 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: They resigned Ronald Darby Sidney Jones and he starts playing better. 613 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: Get McCloud back from injury. Malcolm Jenkins. You would imagine 614 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: the contract gets worked out. Linebackers are pretty solid, d 615 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: lines pretty stacked. I mean they added Malik Jackson. The 616 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: team's good. Uh, I would I'm I probably like Dallas 617 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: just a little more. But I like Carson a lot 618 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: more than Dak. I just don't trust Carson to stay healthy, 619 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: though I wanted to stay healthy. Is one of my 620 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: favorite players in the league. So I like Dallas to 621 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: win this division because I think both these two teams 622 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: are twelve eleven twelve thirteen win teams. Dallas you get it, 623 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: plus one thirty. They're over under his nine. So Philly 624 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: and Dallas, I like both their overs now tends a lot, 625 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: but I think Philly is that good eleven twelve wins. 626 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: Dallas to me, is a much easier over. I think 627 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: they win eleven or twelve games. Uh. The roster is 628 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: pretty much the same because they didn't have any cap space. Really, 629 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: they didn't have a first round pick, but they have 630 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: a Mari Cooper. Their team is loaded. I mean, they 631 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: found a way to get DeMarcus Lawrence done. Their linebacking 632 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: corps is awesome. They have sweet DBS. Their offensive line, 633 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: which has been a strong point of the team, is 634 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: a little bit in question because some of the guys 635 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: are getting older. But I still believe in the group. 636 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: I like that, I like Zeke. I like a Mari 637 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: Jason went and comes back to bring a little guidance. 638 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm more of a Jason Garrett guy than some Again, 639 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: I like the over I love their team last year, 640 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: the way they were playing at the end of the season. 641 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be really good. I think they're 642 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: right there with Philly, and I think the defining probably factor. 643 00:30:54,320 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: I just think that Dallas just consistently they have an identity, 644 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: like at the end of the day, Boom I handed 645 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: to Zeke, and I think there are some question marks, 646 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: like with Carson, there's like some pressure for him that 647 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: that's not really there with Dallas, Like there's always pressure 648 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: with the Dallas and with the Eagles, but like in 649 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: Philly's case, it's gonna be Like the pressure on Carson 650 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: Wentz is kind of unique. He's replacing this guy that 651 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: wasn't even was his backup. But it wont a Super Bowl, 652 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: which just a weird spot. Uh So again, I'm not 653 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: I don't feel great about my Dallas pick. But I 654 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: love both these two teams. I love both these two teams, 655 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: and I hate the other two teams. Washington, who's the 656 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: third best odds to win the division plus nine hundred. 657 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win five or six games. I 658 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: think Jake Ruden is gonna get fired. I like the 659 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: under its six and a half. I don't think it's 660 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: that much under. It's probably five or six games because 661 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: I think Jake Gruden is a good coach. They just 662 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: always have so many injuries. You look the first praxe 663 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: o t as Ruben Foster goes down, Who's gonna be 664 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: their quarterback? I mean, sucks for Alex, but his career 665 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: is probably over. Case will start the season and Haskins 666 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: will eventually come in. That's a huge lead for Haskins. 667 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: Uh Is Trent Williams ever gonna show up? Their front 668 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: seven actually is pretty good. I mean it really is. 669 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: Darius Guys is coming back, but he's coming back off 670 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: in a c L. Yeah, that won six games, six 671 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: or seven, So I I wouldn't touch that over under 672 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: six and a half. That feels right in the sweet spot. 673 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: But Jake Gruon's already said like, if I don't make 674 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs undone, it's like they ain't making the playoffs 675 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: because they're not even close to as good or Dallas 676 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: of Philly and he's done. The Giants are gonna be 677 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: god awful. I mean their defense. I was talking with 678 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: a buddy in the league a while back. He's like, guy, 679 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: their defense on paper is just horrendous. No pass rush. 680 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean, their first round pick is a defensive nose tackle. 681 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: Jabrel Pepper is already banged up. Linebackers stink, there's there's 682 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: defense is awful. Offensively, like they traded away Odell Beckham. 683 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: Now they added Golden Tape. See Juan Barkley is a superstar. 684 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: Their offensive line is not great. Daniel Jones is not 685 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: a plug and play player. So they're over under six. 686 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: I think they win like three games. I really, I 687 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: think they win three games. I if I was a 688 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: gambling man, which I am, I don't ever play over 689 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: unders just because it on the patients, I would hammer 690 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: that under. I would absolutely hammer the under. Obviously you 691 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: can get him eleven to one to win the division. 692 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: I don't think they sniff that. So I like Dallas 693 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: close h but if you pick Philly, I wouldn't argue 694 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: with you. I think both those two teams make the 695 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: playoffs just like last year, though I think it's gonna 696 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: be a little easier for him both. Last year, Dallas 697 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: was ten and six, Philly was nine and seven. I 698 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: think this year is like once thirteen and three and 699 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: once twelve and four. Like, remind me of the year 700 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: that the like thirteen when Seattle and they were the 701 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: two best teams in the NFC. It wouldn't jock me 702 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: if that's the NFC championship game. Though. The NFC is 703 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: really good. So I like Chicago, I like New Orleans. Uh, 704 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco or Seattle will get to them a little later, 705 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: I don't think, or even the Rams I think kind 706 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: of come back to Earth, but we'll say that for 707 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: another day. So the NFC East, I like Dallas slightly, 708 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: though I think Philly's unreal. Two playoff teams and then 709 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: two of the shittier teams. Well, Giants are gonna be awful. 710 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: Actually think I think the Redskins are gonna be awful awful. 711 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: You know, they'll probably end up drafting like somewhere between 712 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: seven and eleven with six or seven wins, but they're 713 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 1: just not gonna win enough games there. I think they 714 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: both those two teams sweep. I know it's hard to 715 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 1: win divisional games, but uh it's it's very top heavy. 716 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's very top heavy. But the Giants are 717 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: at least watchable. They got Sae Kwon Barkley, and I'm 718 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,479 Speaker 1: interested to see Darius guys and if Dwayne Haskins place, 719 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: and who knows what Eli I mean, the Giants are 720 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: just in a sad state of affairs. Okay, let's get 721 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: to the Middlecoff mail back. I put out the bat 722 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: signal day on Instagram and you all came through. I 723 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: am loaded with questions. I got so many questions I'm 724 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: only gonna be answered probably of them. Who's your early 725 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: m v P pick this season? And who's your dark 726 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: horse candidate for m v P. Also a potential m 727 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: v P that is not a quarterback. I think I 728 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,439 Speaker 1: did this last week. Maybe it did him other show 729 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: with Haberman. Uh Khalil Mack would be my dark horse, 730 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: just because I think the Bears have a chance to 731 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: be like fourteen and two if they get the number 732 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: one seed. And let's just say he has like his 733 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 1: best season ever where he gets like eighteen nineteen sacks, 734 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: they're playing in all these primetime games. He would be 735 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: my sleeper that's not a quarterback, uh, my dark horse candidate, 736 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: just because I think the team is gonna be really 737 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: good as Dak. I mean, what if they just what 738 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: if he throws thirty five touchdowns and runs for seven 739 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: or eight and the Cowboys win thirteen fourteen games. I 740 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: think a lot of people, you know, Carson Waitz, Patrick Mahomes, 741 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck are are the easy ones. To me. I'd 742 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: put that those guys kind of in a group. I'd 743 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: say Jimmy Garoppolo would be another kind of sleeper. What 744 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: if he comes back off this a c L and 745 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: leaves a forty nine into the playoff. But my my 746 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: definitely like sleeper one would be Dak. Uh. What are 747 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: your thoughts on Seattle's pass rush? Ziggy Anza and LJ. 748 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: Collier Anso got injury problems and I'm super scheduled skeptical 749 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: on Callier, I'm a little bit worried about my hawks. 750 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: Greetings from Germany. Uh, you did this thing where I 751 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: gotta blur the image skeptical snake. Okay, I got you yeah, 752 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I one thing I've learned is I don't 753 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: I don't bet against Seattle. I mean, last year everyone 754 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: wrote them off. They thought they were gonna be the 755 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: worst team in the league. And what they do. They 756 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: made the playoffs and I guess they didn't win a 757 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: playoff game, but they played pretty well at Dallas. Uh 758 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: and really last year they went toe to toe twice 759 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 1: with the l A Rams. As long as you got Russell, 760 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: Wilson and Pete Carroll, you're gonna have a chance. I 761 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: will say, though they did lose their third best player. 762 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 1: If Russell was their best player, Bobby Wagoner's our second 763 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: best player. Frank Clark was the third best player. And 764 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: those three guys were awesome last year, right, I mean 765 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl level guys. So you lose that guy, trust me, 766 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,479 Speaker 1: I'm a I'm gonna have a soft spot for Ziggy. 767 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: He was my second highest guy on my board my 768 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: last year in the NFL, behind uh Dion Jordan's that 769 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: didn't age well, but obviously injuries have changed his career. 770 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: Hopelly to get lightning in a bottle. But yeah, their 771 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: pass rush won't be as good, but I would imagine 772 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: their linebackers and defensive backs would be a little bit 773 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: better with Pete, and they're gonna have to just be 774 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: better on offense. You know, they added what's his name 775 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: from Old Miss, the freak DK back half. You drafted 776 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: the running back in the in the first round last 777 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: year and shot Penny go with Chris Carson. That's a 778 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: pretty good one to punch in your backfield. You got 779 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: Russell makes some damn plays. You still got Tyler Lockett. 780 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got players, and again, Russell's one. I 781 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: got a soft spot for Russell and just because whenever 782 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: people talk about him, maybe it's because I watched so 783 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: much NFC West football. I've seen him live I don't 784 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: know five times. In the end he's owning the Niners. 785 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: But he's just I mean, he's probably my favorite. Like 786 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: if I had to go top five favorite players of 787 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: all time, you know, like Steve Young, Brett Farve Peyton, 788 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and probably Russell Wilson. I mean that would 789 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: be the group. I love Russell Wilson. So as long 790 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: as you got Russell as your quarterback, I give you 791 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: a chance. But that division pretty wide open. So I'd 792 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: also say, yeah, your pass US is not as good, 793 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: but the Rams are coming back to earth. Todd Gurley 794 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: screwed the Niners. I mean their number one. They might 795 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: be my playoff pick to make to win that division. 796 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: But that's still nine or ten wins their number one 797 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: white wide receivers Dante Pettis, you know, and then the 798 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals suck. So yeah, you could probably the NFC West 799 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: might take you nine. If you go nine and seven 800 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: in the NFC West, you might win the division. Okay, 801 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: let's get to the next question. I guess this guy 802 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: sent me a tweet. So the Packers were six and 803 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: four beside these six games of one with to go 804 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: against Minnesota of twenty twenty six, with eight fifty to 805 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: go against the Rams, tied seven, seven, seventeen, seventeen, start 806 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: fourth against the Pats, of three left against Seattle. So 807 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. Uh So, you're basically just 808 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: saying Green Bay should come back to the mean next 809 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: year and win a few more of these close games 810 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: along with additions on defense in the off season. Motivation, 811 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 1: their stories, blah blah blah. What's your opinion? I agree 812 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: in theory, the main curveball here is say what you 813 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: want about McCarthy, and it had becomes sale and it 814 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: was time for a change. I can't assume that they're 815 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: gonna be in those games with Matt Lafloor. I just can't. Now. 816 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: Maybe they will, but until he proves he can do it, 817 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: I cannot do it. I don't know anything about him. 818 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: I've already have them red flagged. He already has a 819 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: torn achilles obviously, but that, that to me, is the 820 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: big question mark. I mean two reasons. They were really competitive. One, 821 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean they have Aaron Rodgers and their defense actually 822 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: is not terrible. But you know, McCarthy got crapped on 823 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 1: and rightfully so for some moments. But they were usually 824 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: like I mean, they were in games, they were really competitive. 825 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: Like you said, I mean their record when you really 826 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: dive into the context of it all, I just don't know. 827 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: I mean, again, I don't believe much. And it's not 828 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: because the quarterback is because of the coach. I'm not 829 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: a believer in the higher I don't like the higher 830 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 1: I talked about it last week, some of the issues 831 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: that Rogers already having with the offense and the way 832 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: he's I don't know, you know, I just we'll see. Hey, 833 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,720 Speaker 1: you think the a should try to add and swing 834 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: a deal for some pitching or are they better off 835 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: waiting for their prospects to make a jump big club 836 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: in one or two years? A little baseball question. Uh yeah, 837 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't think the ACE can win 838 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,280 Speaker 1: it this year. I mean, to me, it's like basically 839 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: a two horse race probably in the a L and 840 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: that's Houston and the Yankees. Everyone else is just the 841 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: Red Sox aren't the same. Um, I just think it 842 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 1: comes down to those two teams, the Twins. I mean, 843 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 1: we'll see if they make a big trade at the deadline. 844 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: But the problem for the A's is they're not gonna 845 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: win their division and they don't have an ACE. Now 846 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: that guy just got spend at eight games, and having 847 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: been someone that bet on him last year against the 848 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,439 Speaker 1: Yankees in Game one or in that wild card game, 849 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: it's just, you know, it's just such a crapshoot because 850 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: if your aces on that game, you got a chance, 851 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: and if he's off, you're screwed. In the A's Mr 852 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: you know, Mr. Moneyball, which you know, in fairness, it 853 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: works for them. They have to do it because they 854 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: don't have the money. Literally, do they do money ball 855 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 1: because they don't have any money. Uh, you can't throw 856 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: out some opener in a wild card gap. You need 857 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: a blue Chipper. You need a Madison bum gardener, you 858 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 1: need a Justin Verlander, you need a twenty to thirty 859 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: million dollar player, and come, come get this cheddar because 860 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 1: my guy's blowing cheese in the A's again rolled a 861 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: rolled out an opener last year. It was embarrassing. I 862 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: have a relative throwback question in Super Bowl forty nine. 863 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: Let's say the Seahawks ran the ball, got stopped, called 864 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: time out, ran it again and got stopped in time expired. 865 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: How would we judge Pete Carroll or if for us 866 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 1: had completed the past, But the narrative is Pete out 867 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: smart Bill. Yeah, it's not the million dollar question. I mean, 868 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: really we separate like in most things in life, like 869 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,839 Speaker 1: who who are geniuses right now? Jeff Bezos? I mean 870 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: he's been building Amazon for how many years? Uh, you know, 871 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: started in the mid nineties. I think he founded it 872 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: like ninety two or whatever. But it's really been humming 873 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: now for what like fifteen tens, ten years. It's been 874 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,320 Speaker 1: at a high level these last like five, just a 875 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: stupid level. Elon Musk has been going strong for a while. 876 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: Steve Jobs, like most business guys that we can Warren 877 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: Buffett has been, you know, selling stuff since he was 878 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: like five, get their entire life to prove themselves. But coaches, 879 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: they get like these moments and if it goes well, 880 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: it's like It'scot's genius. And in basketball they always say 881 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: it's a maker misleague, and it really comes down to that. 882 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: Like the Warriors lost in the NBA Finals, but they 883 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: got a wide open shot to Steph Curry, the greatest 884 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: three point shooting in the history of the NBA, in 885 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: Game six, and he clanked it. Now, they were only 886 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: down to they didn't need to get three. But at 887 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: the end of the day, they got a good look 888 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: on a great play and he missed it. So then 889 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: a Steve Kurran idiot now football, I think at the 890 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: end of the day, that proved why Bill was a 891 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: genius because he didn't get flustered, he didn't freak out, 892 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: and Pete was freaking out. So I think two of 893 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: the best, I mean, the best coach in the league 894 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: against arguably the second best coach in the league. The 895 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 1: difference in the biggest spot. To me, it wasn't even 896 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: about the play call. It was more than Bill looked 897 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 1: over there and realized he was flustered, you know, and 898 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: Bill in that same situation was not flustered. So I 899 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: think it's less about like play calls go right and 900 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,720 Speaker 1: go wrong, you know, like is Andy Reid an idiot 901 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: because de four jumped offsides? You know? I just I 902 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: that's the thing about the NFL, Like players do some 903 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,840 Speaker 1: stupid ass things that they've been told over and over 904 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: and over not to do in big spots in the playoffs, 905 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: and I just can't totally blame the coach always like 906 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, I'm not Mr Genius x Is and those guys. 907 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: But I've heard enough people talk that that play call 908 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,959 Speaker 1: wasn't that crazy. Now I would have ran the ball. 909 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: I think most of us run the ball. It's not 910 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 1: reinvent the wheel there. But to me, the bigger issue 911 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: was just how flustered they were and how unfazed Belichick was. 912 00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: That That to me is the craziest part of that 913 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: whole play. But I'm trying to think of some other 914 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: moments in recent memory, like think about the Atlanta Falcons. 915 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: They were up huge right in that playoffs and Kyle 916 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 1: Shanahan's goals and keep scoring points, keeps scoring points. As 917 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, I do put the blame on dan Quinn. 918 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: Now should Kyle of like thought big picture maybe, but 919 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 1: he just keeping his foot on the pedal. That's what 920 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,919 Speaker 1: been working all game. Just keep grinding. Dan Quinn's gotta 921 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 1: get on the headset and go, Kyle run the ball, 922 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: like I'm sorry, that's his job as the head coach, 923 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 1: that that is his job. So I think at the 924 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 1: end of the day, it's crazy how that stuff works out. 925 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 1: But over time, like Pete Carroll's kind of been validated. Right, 926 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 1: he had a bad moment in a big game, but 927 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: he'd won a super Bowl previously this year making the 928 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 1: playoffs was incredible. Like it proves out over time you're 929 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: really good coach, you don't winning super Bowls. Some freaking 930 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: ship kind of happened sometimes, right, Like I think Doug 931 00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 1: Peterson is excellent. But in the second round of the 932 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 1: year that they want it all with Nick Foles a 933 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: quarterback against the Atlanta Falcons, they're on I think like 934 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 1: the five yard line with under a minute at with 935 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 1: first in goal and Steve Sarkisian run ran one of 936 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,800 Speaker 1: the worst four offensive play sets. Obviously the final fade 937 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: that did not work. I think he ran a screen 938 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. On second down, I think I 939 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,399 Speaker 1: had the eagle. I had the Falcons in that game. 940 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: So I'm still a little piste off. But I was 941 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: so mad at myself because you can never bet on 942 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian. But you know, it's just like, what if 943 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,879 Speaker 1: Julio Jones catches that ball, like as Doug Peterson any 944 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 1: better or worse? Like it's clear Doug's a really good 945 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 1: play caller, right like as Matt Naggy not a great 946 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: coach because Cody Parkey missed the field goal. You know, 947 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: I just some of this stuff is hard, and I 948 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,760 Speaker 1: think coaches take a lot of flak, And I again 949 00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,799 Speaker 1: will raise my hand. I'm as guilty as sin when 950 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 1: it comes to giving them a lot of criticism but 951 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 1: also praised the smart stuff, though I probably give them 952 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: too much unjust criticism. We all do, but that's why 953 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 1: they make the big bucks. Derek Carr have over under 954 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: thirty and a half touchdowns this year. I would say 955 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: right around thirty two somewhere in there. Ab over nine 956 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: and a half touchdowns. I take the under. Josh Jacobs 957 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: over under a thousand yards, I would take the under. 958 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 1: I mean he ran for seven hundred last year at Alabama, 959 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:21,760 Speaker 1: I'd say eight fifty. Rather have a four foot four 960 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: footer downhill put to win a major or a free 961 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 1: throw to win the NBA Finals? WHOA? I would probably 962 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 1: go with the free throw to win the NBA Finals. 963 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 1: Four ft or downhill? Is it? Is it a you know? 964 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 1: Is it a tester? Like? Is it moving? Or is 965 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 1: it straight? If it's straight, I'll take my chances. If 966 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 1: if it's a slider, I don't know. I'd probably go 967 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: free throw because the end of the day, I think 968 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 1: you could take some deep breaths. It's the same motion 969 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 1: the free the baskets not moving, people are going nuts. 970 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 1: Is on the road or at home too, That's a 971 00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: big question. On the road, like in Toronto, would be intense. 972 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 1: At home, everyone shuts up. I think I got a chance. 973 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 1: Is if Carson Wentz wouldn't have gotten hurt in two 974 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,400 Speaker 1: thousands seventeen and won the m v P, do you 975 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,240 Speaker 1: think he would have had as much hype as Mahomes 976 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 1: as having. Uh, I think it just depends how that 977 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,320 Speaker 1: year plays out, Like do they win the Super Bowl, 978 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,759 Speaker 1: do they lose in the first round of the playoffs 979 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: where I guess their first round would have been obviously 980 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 1: the second round because they were the number one seed. 981 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 1: I just think I don't know, you know, I mean, 982 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 1: they easily, like I just said, they easily could have 983 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 1: lost that game to Atlanta, and Atlanta is a really 984 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 1: good team, like that wouldn't have been a terrible loss. 985 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 1: Atlanta had just gone on the road the previous week 986 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: and beating the Rams. So I just have to know 987 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 1: how it looked like Mahomes last year kicked ass and 988 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 1: took names all the regular season, then kicked asks in 989 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 1: the first playoff game, and then against the Patriots, now 990 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: granted it wasn't home, laid kind of an egg in 991 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 1: the first half, and then just came out swinging and 992 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 1: was excellent in the second half. So yeah, I mean, 993 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 1: I just maybe the more I think about it, I mean, 994 00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,959 Speaker 1: you win the m v P under twenty five years old, 995 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 1: get a lot of hype. You know, quarterbacks in this 996 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,520 Speaker 1: country are treated like royalty, so yeah, you just get 997 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: you just get more praise thoughts on DeShawn Watson being 998 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 1: a top tier, if not number one, fantasy quarterback next year. 999 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: Oldline is nowhere to go but up. True. Uh, the 1000 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 1: Jordan Rivera baptism could be seen as a symbolic gesture 1001 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 1: for the coming season. I don't know if I quite 1002 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 1: followed that one. That might be a little inside Houston 1003 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,560 Speaker 1: Texans football. I think he's probably a better He's like 1004 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,840 Speaker 1: a baseball player. He's probably gonna be a better regular 1005 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 1: season player than he is an NFL playoff quarterback. Now, 1006 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 1: he's obviously been really good in the playoffs in college football. 1007 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 1: Last year, in that first round game against Indy, he 1008 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,800 Speaker 1: was so horrendous. I mean, the ball looked like a dud. 1009 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was tired. Obviously came back 1010 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 1: that season against injuries. Now, if you're just looking at 1011 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 1: top tier fantasy quarterback, you know, take the emotion out 1012 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,840 Speaker 1: of it. You go, well they got if. If Antonio 1013 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 1: Brown is the best receiver, you could argue DeAndre Hopkins 1014 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 1: the second best receiver in the league. Will Floors a stud? 1015 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: Like you said, their offensive line should be improved. Did 1016 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 1: they draft a running back? I mean, I'm not the 1017 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 1: biggest Lamar Miller guy. Yeah, I could see him having 1018 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 1: a pretty big year. Thirty five touchdowns, yeah, top two. 1019 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 1: I can I can hear that you watch any CFL. 1020 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 1: They're getting some ESPN two time. Actually watched, uh a 1021 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 1: little bit of the game the other night would have 1022 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 1: been like Friday or Saturday night. Because a buddy of mine, 1023 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: good buddy of mine, who's assistant coach at at un 1024 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 1: l V, Eric Brown, his younger brother, Travis Brown. They 1025 00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 1: both of them played at FRESNL State. Their dad, coach 1026 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,840 Speaker 1: of FRAZZL State, is now coaching for the Edmonton Eskimo. 1027 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,439 Speaker 1: So I was kind of locked in on that. Uh yeah, 1028 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 1: I mean I it wasn't terrible football. It was actually 1029 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,839 Speaker 1: pretty entertaining, wide open, you know, I had. It had 1030 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,359 Speaker 1: like a little big twelve feel. Guys were hitting hard, 1031 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,760 Speaker 1: offensive guys making plays. Running backs and quarterbacks look pretty capable. 1032 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: Not not a terrible product at all. That's gonna do 1033 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: it for the middlecoff mail back. I'm gonna save something 1034 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,920 Speaker 1: for next week or I mean later this week, some 1035 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 1: of you guys.
