There's a chance they keep 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: four to start the season. And the reason why I 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: bring this up, it's for a variety of reasons, but 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: I think the most important one is your backup quarterback 26 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: situation with the Rams with Matthew Stafford. They got Jimmy Garoppolo. 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: That's a high end backup. I mean, you got a 28 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: backup who started in the Super Bowl. We don't know 29 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: the severity of Matthew Stafford. It feels like it's day 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: to day with the back issues there. 31 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: But this is a. 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: Team that can challenge to win the NFC. They're that 33 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: talented and it might come down to Matthew Stafford's health. 34 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: And if that's the case, Jimmy Garoppolo, how much does 35 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: he play? Stetson Bentett is the backup to the backup. 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: But look at some of these situations around the NFL, 37 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: and you need to have if you're a really good team, 38 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 2: you kind of have to have a really good backup 39 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: because if your starter goes down, you don't want the 40 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: season to go down as well. But we'll talk about 41 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: that coming up. And the Cleveland Browns brought in Tyler Hunting. Now, 42 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 2: if you look at the headlines, it's Brown's bring in 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: former Pro Bowl Pro bowler Tyler Hunting, and I went, well, okay, 44 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: wait a minute. 45 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: Now. 46 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: The reality is he made the Pro Bowl in twenty 47 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: twenty two. His stats this year two touchdown passes, three 48 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: interceptions and rushing for one hundred and thirty seven yards. 49 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: The Pro Bowl used to mean something, and he did 50 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 2: a pretty good job with Lamar Jackson's absence when he 51 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 2: was with Baltimore, and he's a solid backup. But you're 52 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 2: going to the Cleveland Browns and you already have a 53 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: quarterback heavy room. When you have that many quarterbacks, you 54 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: don't have a quarterback. Joe Flacco's age, the inexperience of 55 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 2: Shadoor Sanders and Dylan Gabriel, and then the curiosity of 56 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett. They're all injured, but not you know, serious injuries, 57 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: but you still have nagging injuries and you're trying to 58 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: get everybody enough reps. It feels like it's Joe Flacco's 59 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: job to lose from what I'm told, But I thought 60 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: at the beginning Kenny Pickett was going to be the 61 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: number one guy. Flacco the backup, and then you're going 62 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: to have to figure out if you're keeping three or 63 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: four quarterbacks with Shadoor Sanders and Dylan Gabriel. Now you 64 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: bring in Tyler Hunting as well, but I think that's 65 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: because you know you've got. 66 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 4: A preseason game coming up. 67 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: I think this Friday, you got to have somebody play 68 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: in the position who's healthy enough. And that might be 69 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: the case there, but we'll look at some of the 70 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: other backup quarterback situations here and the importance speaking of 71 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: what Chris Sims, who was a backup quarterback for a 72 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: portion of his NFL career, will join us as well. 73 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: The college football rankings came out. It's Texas, Ohio State, 74 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: Penn State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Clemson, Oregon, and Alabama. And 75 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: we were wondering, when's the last time you had the 76 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 2: two top teams in the country meeting to open up 77 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: the season. This is the first time it's happened in 78 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 2: the history of college football. And you go back to 79 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: the ap Poles started in nineteen thirty six, the Coaches 80 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: Poll started in nineteen fifty. We've never had number one 81 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: versus two in Week one, and if you're going to 82 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: ease into the season, not exactly doing that. If you're 83 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: arch Manning. We're going to get a really good idea 84 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 2: about arch Manning on the road against Ohio State to 85 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: open up the season. Well, this isn't you know Louisiana, Louisiana, 86 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: Monroe or Mercer or any of those schools. It's you're 87 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: playing the Ohio State at Ohio State. 88 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 5: The defending national champions. Yes, going into Columbus ranked number one. 89 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 5: For really, what is your first game? That's you can 90 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 5: already see the hero or zero storylines for arch Manning. 91 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 2: Here's another thing that I found interesting. I find this 92 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: college football season to be wide open. I think the 93 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 2: voters felt that way too, because you have Texas, Ohio State, 94 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: and Penn State, and they all got double digit votes 95 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: to be the best team in the country at least 96 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: to start out. We'll talk about this second ten. I 97 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: think that's what's interesting. These are sort of the usuals, 98 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: the usual suspects. I like Clemson a lot more than 99 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 2: I probably thought I was going to Oregon's in there, 100 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: Alabama at ten, Notre Dames in there, Georgia, so Penn State, 101 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: Ohio State, Texas, and it should be a fun season. 102 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: I don't know when we're adding four more teams to 103 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 2: the playoffs. It's probably next year. But once again, it's 104 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: gray area there. It's just like the NCAA Tournament more madness. 105 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: I was told two weeks ago, get ready for a 106 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 2: decision if they're going to expand or be status quo. 107 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 2: Well we finally got around to that yesterday where they 108 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 2: said they're not going to expand March madness, which I 109 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: think is really good. I would like them to take 110 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 2: away some of these bids of the opportunity. I'd like 111 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 2: get reduced a little bit more, but that's not going 112 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: to happen. We always add, we never subtract. And if 113 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: you're at sixty eight, I do think we'll eventually get 114 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: to seventy two. And I'm told you might get to 115 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: seventy six as well before the end of this decade. 116 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 4: Yes, Marvin, sorry, are my eyes deceiving me? 117 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 3: Texas at Ohio State August. 118 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: Thirtieth, noon, Yeah, yeah, oh wow, big noon kickoffs? Yeah, 119 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: I know. Ohio State. I think has got a lot 120 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: of noon kickoffs. I don't think they're too play I 121 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 2: think Ryan days to please with the big noon kickoff there, 122 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: but all eyes will be on that. You would think 123 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: that's a Saturday night type game, right, yeah, seton. 124 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 5: But you might be if you're say Texas and arch Manning, 125 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 5: you might love Just wake up, get to the field, 126 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 5: get the game over with. 127 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 4: You're not sitting around. 128 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 5: All day waiting to go all right here here, okay, 129 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 5: stay LuSE gotta the just get the game, let's play. 130 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: I was watching the nineteen eighty three NFL Draft, the 131 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: John Lway Draft and Dan Marino. I was watching the 132 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: thirty for thirty last night. That took place in the morning. 133 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: I think it started at eight am and at noon. 134 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: Now I'm there. I met the Marriott Marquis and you 135 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 2: had to be upstairs to look down upon the draft. 136 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: And I don't remember if how many players were there. 137 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: I don't remember players being there. I remember running into 138 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: John Madden, but it was just when you think about showcasing, 139 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: you usually wait and you want it out. You want to, 140 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: you know, put it on the best time slot. The 141 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: NFL Draft, I think started at eight am and ended 142 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 2: at noon that day. All right, see what's pull question today? 143 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 5: Well, we probably got a gajillion of them off of 144 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 5: the college football list there. That's a lot that one 145 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 5: exactly one gajillion. Yes, we also have a couple of 146 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 5: options from the t DUB you're interested in those, such as, 147 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 5: if you're a pro athlete, are there any circumstances where 148 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 5: you'd want your parent at training camp? Yes or no? 149 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: All right, well, this is a Shadoor Sanders talking about 150 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 2: why he doesn't want Dion Sanders at training camp. 151 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 6: I don't want him come in to see me right 152 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 6: now because I want to get to where I want 153 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 6: to go in for him to see me now, I 154 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 6: don't want him to come and see me. 155 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: You know, get a couple of reptions. 156 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 6: You know, he's cheering like a good dad, like, nah, 157 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 6: you can't be proud of me right now.

By all accounts though, 171 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 2: how he handles himself with the veterans when he's in 172 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: camp that he has put in the time and he 173 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: realizes he's a rookie, he is not looking for expecting 174 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 2: preferential treatment. And once again, this is somebody with the 175 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: Browns who said this, and this was somebody who didn't 176 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: think they should have drafted Shador Sanders, because if you 177 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 2: really wanted him, and you want to send the message 178 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: you really want him, you would have drafted him earlier. 179 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: It felt like a I don't know, let's just take 180 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: him after you take Dylan Gabriel. Now that's aside from 181 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: the point of him looking at him and saying he's 182 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 2: done what you've wanted, expected, hoped for and coming to 183 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: camp would be a spectacle. It would lead Sports Center, 184 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 2: it would be a big big deal. Should Or is 185 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: trying to earn this job, and it's tougher because he 186 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: is should Or Sanders. Does it open doors, yes. Do 187 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: you get a lot of attention publicity, yes, but more 188 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: eyes are on you. They want to know can you 189 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: play the position at a high level? And I think 190 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: what he said is, Dad, let me wait till I'm 191 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: an NFL quarterback. Let me wait till I'm the starter here, 192 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: then if you want to come to camp. Dion did 193 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: go to Shiloh Sanders. He's with Tampa Bay. I think 194 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: he was undrafted free agent. But I think he has 195 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 2: a chance to make the team. But it has to 196 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: be a little bit awkward though, if I'm a coach 197 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 2: and Dion's in town and all of a sudden, you know, man, 198 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: how Shiloh doing. Hey, peg puts. 199 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 4: In the work. 200 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 2: Hey, you know he's got a chance. Like you kind 201 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 2: of have to say something nice. It's like when you 202 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: go to a parent teacher conference when your kid is 203 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: young and you know that she's a problem in class, 204 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: but they go, well, you know, she's interesting, she's got 205 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: good spirit there. You know, they try to tell you 206 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: something positive there. But Shiloh may make the roster in 207 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay and maybe the Cleveland Browns keep four quarterbacks 208 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: even though they got six in there. 209 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 4: Now, Yes, Tod, And. 210 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 7: Why would you want any hint at all or appearance 211 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 7: of preferential treatment that's not to say that any head 212 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 7: coach at GM because Deon's there, is gonna treat you 213 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 7: nicer or give you a better chance to be a 214 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 7: starter or get more reps. But just the look of that, 215 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 7: you don't want anyone to even be whispering that among 216 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 7: your teammates. 217 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 3: Deon's here, he's gotting. 218 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: Well, this is different. This is the NFL. This isn't 219 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 2: a Dion's here. We're gonna start you. That's not happening. 220 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 2: This is a meritocracy. 221 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 3: Are you good? 222 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 2: Can you be the starter on this team? Can we 223 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: win games with you? Like all of those things. It's 224 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: not Dion's here, we're gonna put you in. Or this 225 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: happened to me with one of my daughters playing basketball. 226 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: I showed up, and you know, my daughter wasn't good, 227 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: but the coach then gave my daughter more playing time. 228 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: I pulled him to the side and I said, hey, coach, 229 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: it's okay if Grace is on the bench, I'm fine 230 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: with that. He goes, okay, all right. I just didn't 231 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: want you to come out. And then she didn't play. 232 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 2: I go, no, No, she had to earn it. Don't 233 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: worry about that, yeah. 234 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 5: Laughing it's like the first dad to argue for less 235 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 5: playing time. 236 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 4: I did, well, I know how that feels. 237 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 3: Hey, coach, I gotta talk to you, way too much 238 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: time on the ice. 239 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 5: Could you just play him a little less? 240 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 3: Please? Thank you? 241 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I might have had that conversation with my son's coach. 242 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: You know, hey, you don't have to play him because 243 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: I'm here. You don't have to. I mean, if he 244 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: gets in, great, but you don't have to play. The 245 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: national title odds, Ohio State and Texas have the same 246 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: exact odds. Then it's Penn State and Georgia with the 247 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: same odds, Clemson, Alabama the same odds, Oregon and Notre Dame. 248 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 4: With the same odds. 249 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 2: College football starts in a couple of weeks, so get 250 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 2: ready for that. Any other pole questions that you're talking 251 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: about there seton, Well, I'm trying to. 252 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 5: Come up with one just based off of that. Do 253 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 5: you think the say, national champion this year in college 254 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 5: football will come from those top three seeds or other? 255 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 5: I do think it's interesting that Texas, Ohio State, and 256 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 5: Penn State all have like double Penn State has fourteen 257 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 5: first place votes and they're in third. Yeah, Ohio State 258 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 5: has twenty and Texas is twenty eight. That's kind of 259 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 5: it's not exactly even, but it's closer than it feels 260 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 5: like normally happens in those three spots. 261 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 2: I would probably go with other because of a twelve 262 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: team playoff, and it feels like not parody, but it 263 00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: feels like there's a pretty sizable group that's talented enough 264 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: to win. But you know, it goes back to when 265 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 2: you think of March Madness. You got to win six 266 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: games to win the national title. You got to win 267 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: more games here in a playoff setting to win the 268 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: national title. It isn't season ends. It's one versus two, 269 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 2: or you have a fourteen playoff. Now we have twelve, 270 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: and there's always that chance somebody is going to play 271 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: their best football and knock you off, or you don't 272 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: play your best and you know you're vulnerable in an upset. 273 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: But I probably take the rest of the field if 274 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: I gave you Ohio State, Texas, Penn State. All right, 275 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: well take a break. Chris Simms will join us on 276 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 2: loan from NBC Sports.

And you 295 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 2: watched a couple of episodes and then you watch two 296 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: more episodes. It's a total of five episodes with Tom 297 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: with his soccer club in England. 298 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I got one more to go. I'm through the 299 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 5: first four. 300 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 3: Okay. 301 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 5: First two we're a little rough for Tom. Second two 302 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 5: we're better. Okay, mostly because he's less involved. Okay, this 303 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 5: the second two episodes, he's like either in Miami or 304 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 5: somewhere in the Caribbean or it's a little bit back 305 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 5: and forth, a lot less time in the locker room, 306 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 5: a lot less time around the players being like, hey, 307 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 5: you know, I know how to win. There is a 308 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 5: really funny moment though, with the coach save it, sa it. 309 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: You said save it, save it, but I could have 310 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: said something else that sounded like save it if I 311 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: don't want to give it away, give it away, give 312 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: it away. 313 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 3: Now? 314 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 4: All right, did we decide on the poll question? 315 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 9: Uh? 316 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna go with this year's national champions will 317 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 5: be either Texas, Ohio State, or Penn State or other 318 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 5: other Yes. 319 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: Well I know where Chris Sims will be any former 320 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 2: Texas Longhorn Pro Football Talk Live co host contributor to 321 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 2: Football Night in America. The Longhorns open up with the 322 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: Ohio State. We're gonna get a really good idea about 323 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 2: arch manning. I guess that first week there your thoughts 324 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 2: on that matchup, and I love that we're starting out 325 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: with something that has some weight to it, that means 326 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: something to it. But I'm with you on the road 327 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 2: at Ohio State to open up your season. 328 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's awesome, especially where I think a 329 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 10: lot of people thought maybe last year that semi final 330 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 10: matchup was the national championship game. I'm not trying to 331 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 10: disrespect Notre Dame or anything like that. They had a 332 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 10: phenomenal gear. I mean, yeah, on the road week one 333 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 10: and another aspect I like about it, like, yeah, you're 334 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 10: gonna have one verse two two heavyweights, and you know, 335 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 10: like the old days, Dan, it was like, oh man, 336 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 10: whoever loses their season's over and they can't win the 337 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 10: national championship. That's changed. So that to me makes college 338 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 10: football a whole lot better. But how can you not 339 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 10: be excited about the Longhorns, right, I mean, from all 340 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 10: my understanding, the world was crazy last year and they 341 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 10: were losing their mind that Ohio State was spending twenty 342 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 10: million on their football team. 343 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 3: What's Texas close to this year? Almost forty million? 344 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: Right? 345 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 346 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 10: They do everything big down in Texas, that's for sure. 347 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 10: And they're pumped about arch Manning. I know that from 348 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 10: talk the people first hand down there. I think they 349 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 10: one of the reasons they kind of like maybe pushed 350 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 10: Quinn Ewers out the door was because of the potential 351 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 10: the talent of Arch Manning and where he can bring 352 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 10: the team, and you know, the whole program as itself, 353 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 10: because you know, even the Longhorns are as famous and 354 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 10: as awesome as they are. You have a quarterback like 355 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 10: Arch Manning, he's in the Heisman conversation, You're the number 356 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 10: one team in the country. Man, you might not have 357 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 10: to pay all these guys as much to even come 358 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 10: there after that, because everybody's gonna want to jump on 359 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 10: the bandwagon. 360 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 2: Okay, Arch Manning Heisman Trophy candidate, one of the top ones. 361 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: Probably if he was coming out after this year, the 362 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 2: projections would be he would be a high pick, right right, right? Okay, 363 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 2: is it because how much of this is Arch Manning 364 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 2: as opposed to Arch Johnson? 365 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 10: Well, oh, I hear what you're saying. Well, yeah, I 366 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 10: mean the Manning name helps that a little bit. It 367 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 10: makes everybody feel warm and cozy. You go, wait, wait, 368 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 10: this is in his de He knows what to expect 369 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 10: as far as football and what it's in. You know, 370 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 10: what it takes to be good at that on a 371 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 10: day to day business, on a day to day basis. 372 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 3: It's the family business. 373 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 10: So yeah, does that add a little bit more of 374 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 10: you know, comfort level to evaluators and stuff like that. 375 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 10: Sure does. The names in his family also maybe boost 376 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 10: him up. There are people just to go, well they 377 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 10: were good. I think he'll be good too. Sure, but 378 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 10: I don't think you get to this point with arch Manning. 379 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 10: And I experienced this too as Chris sims. Oh oh, 380 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 10: you're only here because you're Phil Simson. Oh yeah, I mean, 381 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 10: do you know anybody else my age that could throw 382 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 10: the football like me? 383 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 3: No, you don't. 384 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 10: That's why I'm here, Okay, Right, so there, at some 385 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 10: point it has to become like the rubber hits the 386 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 10: road and whoa arch Manning maybe runs four five. Oh wow, 387 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 10: he's got a pretty quick release. Oh he's got a 388 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 10: strong arm. He can really spin the ball. So I 389 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 10: think there's enough proof in the putting pudding there to 390 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 10: justify where he's at. 391 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 4: Hey got a little defensive. 392 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 10: There, Well yeah, I just I know, I know what 393 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 10: you're saying, and I'm not defensive at all. I just 394 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 10: you know, when I get into that mode, I start, 395 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 10: you know, getting into like my fake Phil Simms voice 396 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 10: and start doing that a little bit. 397 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 2: We were talking about backup quarterbacks. The Browns have added 398 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: Tyler Huntley. There you got four quarterbacks, which means you 399 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 2: don't have one quarterback. And in today's NFL, what's the 400 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 2: likelihood that you can carry four quarterbacks on the roster. 401 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 10: Very unlikely. I mean, it's rare that they keep three. 402 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 10: That's that's where this whole thing is odd. And maybe 403 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 10: they will keep four. I don't know. And again, the 404 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 10: word I've kind of used with the Browns and all 405 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 10: that is just to you know, and I say this 406 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 10: even with the Dallas Cowboys with their bad contracts, team building, right, yo, 407 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 10: the value of the quarterback. He's an asset. Oh yeah, 408 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 10: that's great. Oh, teams need quarterbacks there, they're at a 409 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 10: premium all that. Ooh, our analytics say to take them here. 410 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 10: But what about the human aspect of like, oh, the 411 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 10: Shador Sanders conversation is gonna overtake your franchise. And every 412 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 10: day I get a statistical update on Instagram or whatever 413 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 10: else telling me how they all did all because of 414 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 10: Shador Sanders. 415 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 3: So it's just a weird situation altogether. 416 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 10: I feel bad for him in the situations he's in. 417 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 3: But the Browns are in a weird spot. 418 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 10: I would have gone into last week Dan going I 419 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 10: don't know what they're gonna do. I was thinking, like, Okay, 420 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 10: Kenny Pickett, they're gonna keep him because hey, he's still young. 421 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 10: He did have some good moments in Pittsburgh. There's still 422 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 10: maybe some untapped potential. You see what you got there. 423 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 10: You keep Shador, you keep Dylan Gabriel because you're not 424 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 10: gonna be able to put them on the practice squad. 425 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 10: I don't think they'll clear waivers in the twenty four 426 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 10: hour period. Some team will snag them and take them, 427 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 10: so you're gonna have to keep them on the roster. 428 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 10: I was kind of in the boat of I think 429 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 10: Joe Flacco will be the odd man out if things 430 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 10: stayed status quo. You know what he is, he's older, 431 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 10: he's not exactly mister take care of the football all 432 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 10: the time. And that's where I thought. But now we 433 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 10: got the Kenny Pickett hamstring injury. Now we got a 434 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 10: Dylan Gabriel hamstring injury. Shador Sanders was dealing with a 435 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 10: little arm issue this past weekend, and now I don't 436 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 10: know what to think. 437 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 3: The hell is going to happen there? 438 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 10: And yeah, they might be forced to keep Joe Flacca 439 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 10: and figure out some other creative ways to keep all 440 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 10: four of these guys. 441 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 3: Dan. 442 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 4: How often did teams tank in the NFL? 443 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 3: Not very often? Right? 444 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 10: The problem is the front office might tell the coaches 445 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 10: or whatever else, hey, play, these guys do all this. 446 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 10: We want to keep this guy out because we don't 447 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 10: want to pay him guaranteed money if he gets hurt 448 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 10: after the year and all that. So the front office 449 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 10: and ownership might try to set it up to hey, 450 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 10: I hope we don't win the game, but damn, it's 451 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 10: hard to make the coaches and players buy into that. 452 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 10: I mean, you know, put yourself in some guy's shoe. 453 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 10: Oh I'm the second stringer. They're trying to tank the game. 454 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 10: I don't care. This is the first time all year 455 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 10: I get to get out here, put film for my 456 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 10: future job, another team me and blah blah blah. 457 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 3: I'm going all out. 458 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 10: And more times than not, the teams that do that, 459 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 10: the coaches are like, wait, it looks like they might 460 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 10: fire me this year. The hell would them? I'm going 461 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 10: to coach great this week A La Girodmeo Week eighteen. 462 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 10: Last year screwing over the New England Patriots. Right, So, yeah, 463 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 10: that's where it's hard to just full out tank maybe 464 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 10: to the same extent some of the other sports can 465 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 10: pull it off, it's a little different in the NFL. 466 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: Chris Sims, Pro Football Talk Live co host you'll see 467 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 2: him on Football Night in America's podcast is called Unbuttoned, 468 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 2: former NFL college quarterback. The Rams situation I find really 469 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: intriguing because it feels like there's season which could be 470 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 2: a Super Bowl season is hinging on Matthew Stafford. Right now, 471 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 2: you do have Jimmy Garoppolo, but this is a team 472 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 2: that went toe to toe with the Eagles in Philadelphia 473 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 2: last year and I don't see and you know why 474 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 2: they shouldn't be considered one of the favorites for the 475 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 2: NFC again this year. But what like a injury that's 476 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 2: day to day or now it's been weak to week here, right, 477 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: what are we looking at with Matthew Stafford. 478 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 4: In the Ram. 479 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a. 480 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 10: Little concerning, but I'm not like overly concerned yet. Hey, 481 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 10: good thing is they do have a Jimmy Garoppolo, and 482 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 10: I do think he could get you through two, three, 483 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 10: four games. Well, let's not get it messed up. Jimmy 484 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 10: Garoppo ain't Matthew Stafford. Stafford is special, and yeah he 485 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 10: makes them a super Bowl team with all the things 486 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 10: they got around him. I'm with you in that conversation, Dan, 487 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 10: I mean that they are a super Bowl team. They 488 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 10: had the Eagles on the ropes like you talked about. 489 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 10: I mean, I was sitting there on the field watching 490 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 10: it happen. They got everything you need, coaches, young talent, playmakers, quarterback, 491 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 10: all of it. 492 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 3: I won't be concerned. Well, you we heard McVeigh yesterday. 493 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 10: They say, I think you know, he's maybe about ten 494 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 10: days away. To me, that's encouraging. That means that they're 495 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 10: feeling like it's going in the right direction to where 496 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 10: he could practice. But if we get to like August twentieth, 497 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 10: August twenty third, and we're still still dealing with this, 498 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 10: I'd be a little like, oh, man, no, I don't 499 00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 10: know that. 500 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a little worrisome. 501 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 10: Hey, the lower back back is a pain in the 502 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 10: butt for a thrower of the football. Tony Romo, damn, 503 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 10: he had to retire because of it. Troy Aikman had 504 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 10: to retire because of it. You know, my dad had 505 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 10: a little issues. It happens because of that torking you 506 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 10: do as a quarterback all the time, over and over 507 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 10: and over, and sometimes your feet and are in awkward, 508 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 10: awkward spots and you still tork. And that's where they 509 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 10: got to be careful on that. They just got to 510 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 10: make sure it goes away, because it's one of those 511 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 10: things when you're lower back and you go, oh, I'm 512 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 10: about ninety five percent. I think I can go out 513 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 10: there today and do it. The first time he throws 514 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 10: a few lasers, he goes, oh, I'm back to sixty 515 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 10: five percent. And this is one you gotta make sure 516 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 10: you do your due diligence, make sure it's wiped away 517 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 10: so that he can get after it. But we know, man, 518 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 10: this is one of the damn toughest quarterbacks we've seen. 519 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 10: I expect him to be out there Week one, ready 520 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 10: to go more threatening. 521 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 4: Rams are Chargers. 522 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 3: Oooh, I would say the I will go with the Rams. Okay. 523 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 10: The Chargers are threatening, no question, And I got to 524 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 10: see them in per There's a real vibe in that 525 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 10: team and belief. 526 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 3: But that AFC West, we know how good it is. 527 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 10: I think it's arguably the greatest coaches in one division 528 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 10: in the history of football, if not definitely the greatest 529 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 10: coaches in one division. We know Mahomes is there. I 530 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 10: do think the Dan Broncos are real, right. We heard 531 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 10: Sean Payton say that the other day. I think the 532 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 10: Broncos are a team that like, Okay, people talking about playoffs, 533 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 10: but I think ours kind of a sneaky. 534 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: Super Bowl contender, contender. 535 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 10: One of the best defenses in football only got better 536 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 10: with the two forty nine ers they signed in free agency. 537 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 10: Bo Nick's second year Evan Ingram at tight end. I'd say, ooh, 538 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 10: that's gonna be a nice addition. 539 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 3: For Sean Payton and this RJ. 540 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 10: Harvey they got in the second round oft the Central 541 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 10: Florida I think has a chance to be a real 542 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 10: special player. So I put Denver maybe a notch up 543 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 10: above the Chargers as far as that team that could 544 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 10: surprise people and disrupt some of the matchups we'd like 545 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 10: to see in the AFC playoffs. 546 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: When does it become a concern to you, as a 547 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: former player now analyst, with what's happening with Michael Parsons. 548 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,959 Speaker 2: At what point you know in this month would you then, 549 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 2: you know, start to have some real concerns. 550 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 10: I already have concerns, Like I made the comment yesterday 551 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 10: with Floria on Pro Football Talk, like you know, circus 552 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 10: doesn't translate to Super Bowl. 553 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 3: Right. 554 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 10: The football gods they can't look upon this and go, oh, 555 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 10: this is the way you handle a football team. The 556 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 10: way they do contracts is ridiculous. It costs them with 557 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 10: having to pay They could have got Michael Parsons for 558 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 10: thirty four to thirty five million dollars last year. Now 559 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 10: they're gonna have to pay more than forty one. They 560 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 10: should forty three forty four. And those are two or 561 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 10: three players on your football team. When you add that 562 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 10: up to Dak Prescott and Ceedee Lamb and how they 563 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 10: drag their feet on all of that. But let alone 564 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 10: like the owner taking kind of like what cheap shots 565 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 10: to a degree, i'd Michael Parsons all his back's out there, 566 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 10: this is contracts. Oh he missed six games last year 567 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 10: when he really missed four. Right, They put out things 568 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 10: like you know, oh, god, she's a little bit of 569 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 10: a pain in the butt in. 570 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 3: The building, Like really, he can get a Cowboys hit 571 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 3: buy a car. 572 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 4: When he said that I mean. 573 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 10: Exactly, there's just been too many weird messaging. Micah Parsons 574 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 10: has handled it like a true pro been there been, 575 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 10: trying to be selfless, trying to be a good leader. 576 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 10: And then also the other part of it that I 577 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 10: can't stand dan is like Jerry Jones, I don't want 578 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 10: the agent there, No crap, you don't want the agent there, Jerry, 579 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 10: this is your. 580 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 3: Wheelhouse doing business deals. 581 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 10: I mean that's like making hey, Jerry gets some shoulder 582 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 10: pads of a helmet and do a tackling drill against 583 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 10: Michael Parsons. That's like, it's like an equal conversation there, 584 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 10: not fair right, let alone against the bylaws of the 585 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 10: NFL and the CBA. 586 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 3: So it is a distraction. 587 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 10: They can say what they want, and I'm getting to 588 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 10: the point where I think Micah is gonna maybe have 589 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 10: to play hardball and maybe he has to start having 590 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 10: a a press conference like Jerry does every few days 591 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 10: and let everybody know what's really going on. 592 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 2: The Bengals situation kind of tapered off because of Michah 593 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: Parsons and the Cowboys get all the oxygen in the room. 594 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: This is a Bengal team that's all in on offense. 595 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 2: But you know, having an eyewitness who's watched the Bengals 596 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: practice twice and he said, defensively, they're in trouble. 597 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 10: I mean, they weren't a good defense last year. There's 598 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 10: not really a whole lot of Marquee household names on 599 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 10: the defense to make you think, oh wow, it's gonna 600 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 10: drastically turn around. Their biggest thing is they got Al 601 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 10: Golden and the new defensive coordinator there, right, and hopefully 602 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 10: he can be creative schematically to give them some advantages. 603 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 10: And I'm not shocked too to hear that it's not 604 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 10: going great for them at times. Right they are learning 605 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 10: a new defense, and damn you got to go against 606 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 10: Joe Burrow, Chase and Higgins every day. 607 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 3: We saw last year. 608 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 10: I don't care what defense you are, it's hard to 609 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 10: stop that crew right there. But man, it does seem 610 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 10: like there's gonna be a lot of pressure on that offense. 611 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 10: The Trey Hendrickson thing, not only did they need him 612 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 10: as a leader and he's the best player on their defense. 613 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 10: To me, it's twofold in the fact that the kid 614 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 10: they drafted in the first round, Shamar Stewart, he's got 615 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 10: superstar potential, but he's raw. He's simple. He doesn't do 616 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 10: any pass rushers moves. He just is like I just 617 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 10: go that way and that's all I do. So you're 618 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 10: hurting his development by not having Trey hendrickson there as well. 619 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 10: So yeah, hopefully they can get that ironed out. Because man, 620 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 10: when you watch Joe Burrow and company and they're good 621 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 10: in the AFC against of course Mahomes and Lamar and 622 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 10: Josh Allen, man, that just doesn't get any better than that. 623 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 2: Do we give Joe Burrow a Hall pass because he 624 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 2: beat Mahomes in Kansas City to go to the super Bowl? 625 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: But after that, I mean you're looking at not getting 626 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 2: to the playoffs a few years, right, even performance in 627 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 2: the play like I don't know. 628 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 10: I well, you know, he had them on the ropes 629 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 10: right the next year in the AFC Championship game and 630 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 10: they got the late hit out of Mounds on Mahomes 631 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 10: right where he's kind of like, oh man, it feels 632 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 10: like Cincinnati about to pull this off, so that happens. 633 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 3: Injury has been an issue. 634 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 10: I think the fact that the Bengals do things dysfunctionally 635 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 10: does like maybe give him somewhat of a free pass 636 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 10: to your point there, But you know, all in all, 637 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 10: two years ago, they were hot late in the year 638 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 10: and he hurt his wrist. Injury has been his biggest 639 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 10: kryptonite last year. I don't know what else you can do, right, 640 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 10: I mean, damn his thirty points every game. He just 641 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 10: going up and down the field, throwing for two hundred 642 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 10: and eighty yards every game, three touchdowes. He carried the 643 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 10: team as much as you've seen anybody carry the team. 644 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 10: So no, I don't think we give him a free pass. 645 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 3: I don't. 646 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 10: Hey, we got Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson are all time 647 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 10: greats in my opinion. 648 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 3: They haven't even gotten to the Super Bowl yet. They 649 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 3: haven't even been able. 650 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 10: To beat that guy Mahomes one time yet in these 651 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 10: damn playoff games or anything like that. 652 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 3: So that's one to me. 653 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 10: One of the cool storylines of the year is can 654 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 10: Lamar and Josh Allen His talent and as awesome a 655 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 10: quarterbacks as I've ever seen my life have yet to 656 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 10: be to a Super Bowl. 657 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 3: Could this be the year? 658 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 10: I don't know, but yeah, it's pretty unreal with the 659 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 10: quarterbacks in the AFC, and I think Joe Burrow is 660 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 10: truly phenomenal. 661 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 2: Okay, give me the team that you like. Sneaky team 662 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 2: that you like. 663 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, sneaky team. All right. 664 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 10: So here's one that I don't think a team gets 665 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 10: put en up in the in the super Bowl window. 666 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 10: I think the Houston Texans are going to be one 667 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 10: of those teams this year that I'll just say that. 668 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 3: I know they're not sneaking up on anybody. 669 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: As far as playoffs, well, they jumped off the bandwagon 670 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 2: last year, right. 671 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 10: I think, And I think a lot of that had 672 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 10: to do with the offensive coordinator and some of the 673 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 10: issues there. The defense is awesome, that's not even you know, disputable. 674 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 10: Nico Collins was hurt a bunch last year. They lost 675 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 10: Stefan Diggs, their pass protection was pitiful. I think they'll 676 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 10: be better at receiver and I think you'll see CJ. 677 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 10: Stroud have more of a hand in the pass protection 678 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 10: this year. So I would put them in that super 679 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 10: Bowl window or they're a little rated in my opinion. 680 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 10: I think another the New England Patriots are of course 681 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 10: the other team i'd look at to go watch out. 682 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 10: It just seems like between that coaching staff, they one 683 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 10: of the teams that won the offseason where I'd go, 684 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 10: we are sitting here late December, going man New England. 685 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 10: If they win this week, they could go to the playoffs. 686 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 10: I would not be shocked by that at all. That's 687 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 10: one and one more I'll thought of you. The Jets 688 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 10: have the talent to surprise people. 689 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 4: Look at youth. 690 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 3: People are overlooking it. But they got some talent. I 691 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 3: mean they do. 692 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 10: And I believe in Aaron Glenn and I don't think 693 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 10: they're gonna make it all about the quarterback. They're gonna 694 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 10: run the ball, They're gonna play defense. There'll be a 695 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 10: pain in the butt. But I think my leader there 696 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 10: would probably be New England and one of those teams 697 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 10: that you're talking about as far as that just really 698 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 10: jumps out and surprises us. 699 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 4: Good stuff, good stuff. 700 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 2: I like you fired up. I gotta I gotta get 701 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 2: you defensive to start out. 702 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 3: And when am I not fired up?

What's the 748 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 2: official title of the Tom Brady Soccer documentary? 749 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 5: Built in Birmingham? Okay, Tom and the Blues? 750 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 4: All right? 751 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 2: The Birmingham Blues a third tier soccer team. Yeah, they 752 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 2: sort of. 753 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 5: They spent a lot of their history going between like 754 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 5: the first and second tiers, between Premier League and Championship. 755 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 5: Have found themselves down into the third tier though for sure. 756 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 2: Okay, so Tom is one of the new owners there, 757 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 2: fired everybody and didn't go well. But now getting a 758 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,240 Speaker 2: little bit better. The first two episodes you talked about 759 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 2: Tom and maybe lack of soccer knowledge but kind of 760 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 2: leaning on the coaching cliche book for quotes to his 761 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 2: is organizations. 762 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just it's just an interesting look. The show 763 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 5: is really good. It's a fun watch, but that you know, 764 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 5: like I say yesterday, that formula is sort of undefeated, 765 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 5: of like go in, get a team, learn the people, 766 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,320 Speaker 5: try to rebuild it kind of thing that'll work across 767 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 5: any sport, right, Okay, But what was surprising was just 768 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 5: sort of the view of Tom that he was allowing 769 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 5: you to see, where he was kind of like, Yeah, 770 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 5: it doesn't really matter that I don't know anything because 771 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 5: I know winning, Like, oh, who's Aston Villa? Who cares 772 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 5: if we're in the same town, we're better than them, Like, dude, 773 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 5: they're like a Champions League caliber. 774 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 4: Team, Like what are you talking about? How do you 775 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 4: not know that? 776 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 5: Especially just as a businessman, Right, So he kind of 777 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 5: has this air of like, doesn't matter because I know 778 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 5: winning because I came from nothing and look at me, 779 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 5: I'm the greatest ever. So it doesn't matter I win. 780 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 5: That's just what I do. 781 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 10: Uh. 782 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 5: This first two episodes were heavy on that heavy. This 783 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 5: second two were great because it was way less of 784 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,479 Speaker 5: Tom and his business side of things and more about 785 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 5: the actual people. Like here's a player who they just 786 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 5: signed for big money, whose father was a professional player 787 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 5: but died when he was young, and like, now you're 788 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 5: getting like the real storylines there. And Tom would uh. 789 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 5: Usually he checks in either from a private jet is 790 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 5: he's flying somewhere, or from some amazing mansion somewhere in 791 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 5: the world where he's catching up on the game on 792 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 5: his iPad, but there's like a Teaki hut behind him 793 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 5: and he's like, yeah, oh yeah, I'm really invested in this. 794 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 4: Yeah. 795 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, But the coach doesn't really understand the whole Tom 796 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 2: Brady Aura. 797 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 5: There's no not really. He knows that he's great. He 798 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 5: knows that in the game that he played, he's really great. 799 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 5: There are a lot of moments where you can see 800 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 5: like Tom will be like, you know, I remember when 801 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 5: Bill Belichick first said to me, and it just flies 802 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 5: right over everybody's head, and he's like, he's a coach, 803 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 5: He's like one of the best coaches of all time 804 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 5: in the NFL anyway, and he sort of goes on, 805 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 5: there's a moment with the where the coach is doing 806 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 5: an interview like one of those like two camera interviews, 807 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 5: and he's like, yeah, you know, Tom, I'm really lucky 808 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 5: to have a guy like Tom giving me so much advice, 809 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 5: one of the greatest athletes in the world.

Seaton, I don't know 819 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 9: if I agree with what you were saying, like the 820 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 9: bar scene you were describing, like I didn't see him 821 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 9: ever say like how much time do I have to 822 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 9: spend with them, like saying them would have come off bad. 823 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 9: I agree, but he really just said, like, Paul On, 824 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 9: are week here or something like that, And then I 825 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 9: just got to the Beckham scene when Brady's in the 826 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 9: limo and he said, you know, it's that thing stupid 827 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 9: not to give Beckham a kit or something like that, 828 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,280 Speaker 9: and then described like, hey, he has energy. He feels 829 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 9: like he was treated well, he's gonna go home and 830 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 9: root for the team and publicize or whatever. So I 831 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 9: don't know, I just I look at this like I'm 832 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 9: loving it. I think the Brady message he's said shits 833 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 9: like those like little ignorant moments are kind of funny. 834 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 5: He's just he's just. 835 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 9: Saying, like, guys, I am great, I am going. He's like, 836 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 9: good talent can win you games, but sustained greatness is 837 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 9: like systemic, it's up process as leadership. It's the New 838 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 9: England Patriots. Like I get all that, and that's what 839 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 9: he's gonna come off. 840 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 10: Like. 841 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 9: I think the only way he'll look stupid in this. 842 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 9: Tell me if you guys disagree, is if the team 843 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 9: ends up failing and is not good, you know. 844 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 4: Well, yeah they headed in that direction, maybe they're headed back. Yeah. 845 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 5: See yeah, I mean in the first season that Tom 846 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 5: was the owner, he got them relegated because of his decisions, 847 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 5: so that would be an instance of failing. Although they 848 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 5: fly through it and it's only one episode, but it's 849 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 5: actually a full year of soccer or close to anyway. 850 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 5: But now I agree with everything that that person just said. 851 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 5: I love it. I think it's great. It's just an 852 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 5: interesting look from him. 853 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 2: That's one hour two more to go. Sterling Sharp will 854 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,919 Speaker 2: join us see Packer's Hall of Famer a little later 855 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 2: on more of your phone calls as well. Hour two 856 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 2: on the way after this
