Speaker 5: the bottom of why there's a hashtag team bet all right, you're.

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,680

Speaker 5: There has to be Paul Beers, I think. But Andrew

124
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 5: Brandt has stumbled into the to the zoop room here

125
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 5: as we're playing a game of athletes and entertainers that

126
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 5: can note Saint Patrick's day?

127
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 6: Why stupidity?

128
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 5: All right, Andrews, So you have you have such great

129
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 5: knowledge and vast experience of everything going on right now

130
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 5: in the NFL from a free agency standpoint. So I'm

131
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 5: wondering explain to to me and mikey A and the

132
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 5: audience in a way that we'll understand what has happened

133
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 5: with the salary cap and why did it happen?

134
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 4: You know, this was this is no surprise Stutts, because

135
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 4: in July July of twenty twenty, the NFL and NFLPA

136
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: got together and said, hey, we're looking at some seriously

137
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: diminished revenues because we're not gonna have fans or maybe

138
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: the smattering of fans, and we're going to negotiate two things.

139
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: One health and safety protocols that we all know about

140
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 4: to get through a season, why playing, pushing through COVID

141
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: and playing. And the other thing was financial and there

142
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: was no impact on salaries as we know for twenty twenty,

143
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: but the haircut was coming, and that haircut is now.

144
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: So they said at that time in writing, Hey, it's

145
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: going to go down. It's not going to go below

146
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: one hundred and seventy five million dollars. That's the number

147
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 4: they came up with. And then all the accounting for

148
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: whatever happened occurred in February and lo and behold, they

149
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: came up with a number not too much above one

150
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 4: seventy five, a seventeen million dollars haircut from twenty twenty

151
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: to one hundred and eighty two to five million. And

152
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: what that number represents is a collective limit on what

153
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: teams can pay their roster. But I don't want to

154
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: get two in the weeds here, but let's just be clear.

155
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: No team actually has a cat number of one hundred

156
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 4: and eighty two to five because you can do now

157
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 4: in the NFL is something I could never do when

158
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: I managed the Packers cap years ago. Bring over money,

159
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 4: so unused cap room from twenty twenty can be brought

160
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: over into twenty twenty one, which is making a big

161
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: difference more than ever this year. So team's cap is

162
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: not necessarily one eighty two five. If they brought over

163
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: ten million, it's one ninety two to five. If like

164
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 4: the Jaguars, they brought over thirty something million, their cap

165
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 4: is like two hundred and twelve million dollars. So teams

166
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 4: have been aware of this, and what I pushed back

167
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 4: on is cees this idea that teams are scrambling. They've

168
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: known about this since July. They've known for eight months.

169
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 5: All right, Well that was explained in a way that

170
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 5: that I think I understand.

171
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 7: So things rollover minutes, Yeah, rollover minutes for your old

172
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 7: cell phone plan.

173
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 5: And you know what I had to do, Mike, I Hey,

174
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 5: that was awesome, Mike, very good job by you putting

175
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 5: that in layman's terms.

176
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Andrew, Um, Sorry.

177
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 4: What I had to do back in the day when

178
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 4: we couldn't roll over cap is you had to create

179
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: these phony incentives so they don't make them and then

180
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: you can debit them and credit them. Like I had

181
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 4: Doug Peterson as my third string quarterback. I gave him

182
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: an incentive like, hey, Doug, if you throw ten touchdowns

183
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: in the last game, we'll pay you twenty million dollars, right,

184
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: And he's like, cool, I'll sign and god forbid. We

185
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: were already in the playoffs. We played Doug and if

186
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 4: he threw one or two, I'd be like sweating, but

187
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 4: then he wouldn't make it, and then we bring over

188
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: the twenty million into the next year. That's the way

189
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 4: he had to do it back in the day.

190
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 7: Calling down, calling down to the coach, Yeah, yeah, running it,

191
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 7: don't you dare?

192
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 5: Let him throw again?

193
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 6: All right?

194
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 5: To Federal real real quick? How'd you become a member

195
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 5: of hashtag team fed?

196
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: I've always been a tennis player growing up. I played

197
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: junior tournaments in the East Coast when across country to Stanford.

198
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: Didn't get to play there, but I was kind of

199
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 4: on there like JV and I don't know if you

200
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 4: know this, but after college, me and some guys at

201
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 4: the end of the bench said let's try this. And

202
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 4: what this meant was let's try to play a couple

203
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: of pro tournaments atp said I tour Deston Florida, Lafayette, Louisiana, Davenport, Iowa.

204
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: Maybe ten people in the stands, calling our own lines,

205
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 4: picking up her own balls, washing our socks, and the

206
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: sink of bad hotels every night. I lasted for about

207
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 4: six months. I got as high as like twenty seven

208
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 4: hundred in the world. But and then I shifted to

209
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 4: law school. But when I went to law school, there

210
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: was a big firm in DC. I went to Georgetown

211
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 4: called Proser. They represented tennis players, and this was my entree.

212
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: I'm like, hey, I'm a tennis player, and I can

213
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 4: get your meetings with Stanford tennis players. So that was

214
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 4: my entree into the world of sports through tennis. So

215
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 4: always been a huge fan and just it's no surprise

216
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: when you watch this guy feeder with such grace, such

217
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 4: natural ability, and just the way he carries himself. I

218
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 4: just became a fan, and I'm like, every time I

219
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: hear this guy talk, every time I see the way

220
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 4: he conducts himself, what a great guy. Like, forget about tennis.

221
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 4: I'd love to hang out with him. And then of

222
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 4: course his tennis is magical. It's beautiful, and I've always

223
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: been a fan. That's not to say I'm not a

224
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 4: fan of Nadal or Yokovic or anyone else, but su

225
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: a big time Federer fan.

226
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 3: We take a quick break. I need to prepare you.

227
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: What you are about to hear is me attempting to

228
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: say the word existence. Back to stupidity.

229
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 5: So when Adnan revealed that he had the same type

230
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 5: of passion feelings for Roger Federer, is that how hashtag

231
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 5: team fed came came into exist? That?

232
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the magic of Twitter. I would say something,

233
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: he would like it, he would say something I would

234
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: like it, and then all of a sudden we're like, hey,

235
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 4: we've got the same interest here, and he puts out

236
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: team hashtag team fed one and then it just sort

237
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: of stuck. So this was years ago. Ada and I

238
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: worked together at ESPN did a lot of different things,

239
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: So this was fun.

240
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: Okay, back to football for a second. Assuming we move

241
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 5: past this pandemic and it looks like we are, what

242
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 5: do you expect to happen with the salary cap next

243
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 5: season and beyond?

244
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 4: You know, I think it'll go up, And everybody's sort

245
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: of saying, hey, you know, we're gonna get these huge

246
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 4: TV deals, which we will, you know, fab fabulous TV

247
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 4: deals ahead because the NFL is the most compelling television

248
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: there is by far. But I think, to god sits

249
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 4: a little bit naive to say, well, it's going to

250
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 4: jump back up thirty million dollars. I think it's going

251
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 4: to have sort of the same increases. It always has

252
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,599
Speaker 4: ten eleven million dollars a year. We've seen that the

253
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: last ten years. This next year, you know, will it

254
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 4: get over the twenty twenty level in twenty twenty two.

255
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: I don't even know that because that would be an

256
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 4: eighteen nineteen twenty million jump. So it's going to be

257
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: more flattened than people think. And these TV deals everything

258
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 4: looks back with the cap. You know, we're looking back

259
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 4: on twenty twenty. These TV deals may not kick in

260
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 4: till twenty twenty two, so it's going to be a

261
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 4: while before we have these spikes people talk about.

262
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 5: I think he answered this question already. Have you ever

263
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 5: met Roger Federer?

264
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 4: I haven't. I met Madal. I was in Madrid and

265
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 4: he walked into the hotel I was staying at. I

266
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: was like a schoolgirl with a crush. I got, really,

267
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 4: my god, but I haven't met fed. I met a

268
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 4: lot of tennis players, but never.

269
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 5: Did Nadal say, wow, look at that, there's the twenty

270
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 5: seventh hundredth best tennis player in the world.

271
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 6: Hey, that's France.

272
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 4: Fun fact, by the way, back in ninth in the

273
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 4: mid eighties.

274
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 5: When I did wait, Andrew, I gotta be honest, that's

275
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 5: pretty badass to be top twenty seven in one hundred

276
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 5: in the world at anything, is I mean, you're a

277
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 5: badass man.

278
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 4: Here's the thing. Bejorn Borg, my childhood hero, was making

279
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 4: a comeback at that point. He was he was like

280
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 4: thirty one hundred, right, I was ranked above beyorn Borg.

281
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 4: This is like late eighties, early nineties, whenever it was yeah, you're.

282
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 5: Gonna laugh, both Borg, John mceroe, and Patrick McEnroe, all

283
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 5: three of them lived in my town, Port Washington. Well

284
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 5: that's what well, Tony pal Port Washington stand's point. Tony Palifax,

285
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 5: McEnroe's legendary coach, had a house right down the street,

286
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 5: and the Port Washington Tennis Academy was there, and so

287
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 5: that was like a big deal. So a lot of

288
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 5: the tennis players came there. So we used to hear

289
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 5: this grunting from all the way from my house in

290
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 5: Tony's backyard, right there was this kid just grunting and

291
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 5: cursing and yelling and screaming. And so we we had

292
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 5: like we were Me and my brother, my friends were

293
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 5: dying to know who this person is. So we snuck

294
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 5: around in the back, very wooded area and we're like

295
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 5: taking a peek at practice, and lo and behold it's

296
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 5: John McEnroe practicing with Tony Powifax and throwing his racket

297
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 5: and breaking it all over Tony's court. So one little

298
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 5: story for you.

299
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: And my vintage at Stanford was the brother you probably know,

300
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: no one knows him, might wait, Mark McEnroe. So he

301
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 4: wound up was between John and Patrick, and he was

302
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 4: on the team. You know, it's not like he was.

303
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 5: A stiff, but it's kind of like Cooper Manning, like right, So.

304
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 4: I got to hit with Mark mac can row, who

305
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 4: I don't even know if he played the tour or not.

306
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 5: I'm not sure. I'm not certain. So with Nadal, was

307
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: there any interaction? Did you like?

308
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 6: Selfie?

309
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: You know, I got a selfie ahead, I'll look at you.

310
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 4: I was you know, I've been around Farv and Rogers,

311
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: all these great football players, basketball players. I'm like, but

312
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: Nadal and I was, like I said, like a high

313
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: school schoolgirl with a crush. And can you imagine if

314
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 4: I met Fedder, I'd be like like lending my pants.

315
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: I don't know what to do.

316
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 7: I think Adman feels betrayed that you felt that way

317
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 7: about Nadal. I think Admin probably feels betrayed, like it

318
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 7: wasn't feed It doesn't count.

319
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: It's not It's not a competition here, you know. It's

320
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 4: It's like if you like Lebron over Michael Jordan, doesn't

321
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: mean you think Jordan's not great. I mean, listen, I'm.

322
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 6: Not you have you been on Twitter?

323
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 4: I'll tell I'll tell ad that. Don't worry about that.

324
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 6: I love it.

325
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 5: It could be very upset. Explain why and how the pain.

326
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 5: By the way, with Nadal, did you notice was it

327
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 5: noticeable to you that the left arm was five times

328
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 5: the size of the right arm?

329
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 8: No?

330
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 5: You didn't notice.

331
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: No, but he had you know the reason I knew

332
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 4: he was coming because Tony coach, Tony the uncle, I believe, Yeah,

333
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 4: goes up and then you just see this crowd like

334
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: if he's showing up, you know who's coming behind him.

335
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 4: So it was he's bigger than I thought. You know,

336
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: I'm small, everyone's big to me, but I didn't think

337
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 4: Nadonne was that big either, both tall and physically big.

338
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: He's he's a big guy.

339
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 5: Andrew Brants with us. Check out the Business of Sports podcast?

340
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 5: Am I getting that right? Business of Sports pod? Okay,

341
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 5: and the Sunday Seven, which I'll have you promote here

342
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 5: in just a second. Explain to us why and how

343
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 5: the Patriots are doing what they are doing in free agency.

344
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 6: Now.

345
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: I said before this too, that this reduced cap is

346
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 4: going to give teams competitive advantage that have managed the

347
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 4: cap well, that have set themselves up that I talked

348
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 4: about earlier, prepared for this well right, And teams that

349
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: set themselves up well like the Patriots could take advantage

350
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 4: of this. Now, you and I it's too early to know.

351
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 4: And the only nerds like me look at this like,

352
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 4: what's the real deal? How much are they really paying?

353
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 4: Don't believe what you see? Even great reporters like Adam

354
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 4: you know you're not. You're just gonna get these big numbers.

355
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 4: But it just seems like they've been able to surgically

356
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 4: go into free agency get guys they want work with

357
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 4: through Rosenhouse a lot, and usually it's simple like a

358
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, you work with an agent on

359
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 4: a lot of deals, you're going to get a discount,

360
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 4: just like any business. You know, you give a guy

361
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 4: a bunch of deals, you're going to get a discount.

362
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 4: And it just seems that way they've done a great job.

363
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 4: It stands out to me that they paid two top

364
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 4: of market tight ends, because I've said this before. They

365
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 4: don't pay running backs, they don't pay receivers since Brady,

366
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 4: they certainly don't pay quarterbacks, but they pay tight ends.

367
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 4: They always have with Gronk and Aaron Hernandez. And they're

368
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 4: doing it again, like they're going to pay if you

369
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 4: believe the numbers, twenty five million a year for tight ends.

370
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: I mean, no one pays five million year for tight ends.

371
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 4: It's an amazing stet.

372
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 5: But it's well, are they spending their money wisely in

373
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 5: your opinion?

374
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I don't value the tight end like

375
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 4: they do.

376
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 5: It's incredible. Yeah, they drafted to the year before. I

377
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 5: believe that.

378
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 4: See, that's the thing about free agency. It's often the

379
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 4: price you pay for drafting poorly. I haven't drilled down

380
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 4: with these deals. I mean, it seems like they're getting value.

381
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 4: It seems like they're getting guys that would be at

382
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 4: certain price. The other thing is this depress market, you know, dns,

383
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 4: you know Khalil Mack five years ago May twenty three.

384
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 4: A year now, Shaq Barrett's making seventeen. So I don't

385
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 4: know if that's the press market, if that's cap if

386
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: that's just the way that the position has devalued. But

387
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: you know, this is a This is a good time

388
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 4: to get good vibes.

389
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 5: The happiest you've ever been. If they're a Federer win

390
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 5: is blank. I want you to take me through it. Andrew, Yeah,

391
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 5: like a dad once revealed to us he was wearing

392
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 5: Feederer gear watching a match from his living room, which

393
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 5: was odd to me.

394
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: Hey, I bought I bought all the Nike RF stuff

395
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 4: and I don't play, you know.

396
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 5: And I thought you were gonna have a headband or

397
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 5: f headband on today for this.

398
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 4: I'm in a whole different sport as you know now.

399
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 4: But did he even win? See, I don't even know

400
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 4: if he won that. In the Gloaming of Wimbledon, that

401
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 4: five setter with Nadal, and I don't even know if

402
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 4: he won. I don't remember if he won, but it

403
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 4: was so epic and I'm hanging on every single stroke,

404
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 4: and you know, it's one of those sporting events that

405
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: you remember more than Super Bowls. It's like they're just

406
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 4: out there in the gloaming. The gloaming meaning no lights

407
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: at Wimbledon, and it's getting dark, you squinting at the TV.

408
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 4: I'll never forget that match, But I don't know who won.

409
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 5: I think, well, two thousand and night, Federer one, he

410
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 5: beaten a doll that was a semi final that. Yeah,

411
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 5: you're going back a little bit further right.

412
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I'll get back to you with that,

413
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 4: that exact match.

414
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 5: By the way, Dad's gonna be calling it in a

415
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 5: few minutes. This is glorious. Do we make predictions of

416
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 5: the match? I okay, we did? I have I have climbed,

417
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 5: I have Kleinberg winning seven.

418
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 4: Five, I'm on, and then six four, I'm on.

419
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 5: Okay, what do you think is gonna happen here with

420
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson.

421
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: In the event that you haven't noticed what I'm doing

422
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 3: here is playing a little game of tennis. Football question,

423
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 3: Federer question, football question, Federer question. Your head should be

424
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: moving back and forth back to the podcast.

425
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 4: I'm on a lonely hill. I was on a lonely

426
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 4: hill where I was totally wrong. So you know you

427
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 4: can't trust me too much. With Carson Wentz. I just

428
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 4: didn't think before I get to Watson. I didn't think

429
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 4: the Eagles would debilitate their franchise with a thirty four

430
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 4: million dollars dead money charge, the third highest charge in

431
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 4: the league, and a guy they invested so much. There's

432
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 4: no player in the NFL with so much invested in

433
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 4: him besides Wentz when you think about draft choices and money.

434
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: So I was dead wrong on that. I was dead wrong.

435
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 4: Now on this one. I'm still standing on that hill

436
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 4: because even more so than Wentz, there's no value you

437
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 4: could get that's commensurate. I mean, and this is for

438
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 4: Wilson too. I mean again, I'm not there. I don't

439
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 4: know how deep the fish. Sure the break the relationship

440
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 4: problem is the breach, but you can't get value. I mean,

441
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 4: you hear about these offers for Russell Wilson and these

442
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 4: multiple number one picks. If I'm out in the Texans.

443
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 4: I don't want picks. What do I care about picks?

444
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 6: You know what?

445
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 4: Don't care about Tua and picks. That's not value. If

446
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 4: you have de Shaun Watson, get Tua and picks, you're

447
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 4: gonna be the Dolphins. Maybe that's not so bad, But

448
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 4: you want to be the Texans with Watson. You don't

449
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 4: want to be the Dolphins. You don't want to be

450
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 4: the team that had the picks.

451
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 5: So if you're running the Texans, what do you then?

452
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get an intervention. What's the problem? You

453
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 4: signed a big deal? Now, this is the other part.

454
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 4: He signed a big deal in September, a massive deal

455
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 4: five months ago, six months ago? So what changed? They

456
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 4: had already gotten rid of the GM that traded Hopkins,

457
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 4: And what's the problem. Maybe he hates this evangelist CEO. Great, okay,

458
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: how can we fix that? Well, he's totally out of

459
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 4: football operations. The CEO? Okay, fine, what about the new

460
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 4: coach seems like a great guy. What about all these

461
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: free agent moves we're doing? You know, it's just like,

462
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 4: how do we fix this? And if Watson's like I

463
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 4: can't fix it, well, what's his leverage? What's his leverage

464
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 4: missing Zoom meetings? Right, No, he's not his leverages. I'm

465
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 4: going to miss Zoom meetings until August. You know, that's

466
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 4: no leverage. Once you get to August. In September, he

467
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 4: can do the Jalen Ramsey thing, which is leverage where

468
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 4: you go into a team and you make yourself a

469
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 4: pain in the ass. And if Watson has that in him,

470
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 4: I suppose then he can get some leverage.

471
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 5: Steve Gott's here for my friends over at fun Rise.

476
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,639

477
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 5: than the traditional mix of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

511
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 5: We all made predictions at Dan on how this match

512
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 5: would go against your great friend Ethan Kleinberg. Okay, mikey Egg,

513
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 5: what do you have.

514
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 7: Just looking at him now, I feel really bad about

515
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 7: my prediction. Okay, I just get I'm just looking at him,

516
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 7: and I'm like, oh, I got this wrong.

517
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 6: I gotta be.

518
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 5: I'm a little disappointed because neither Andrew Brandt or van Burg,

519
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 5: fresh off the tennis court, is wearing the RF headband.

520
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 5: I know you only say him for when he plays,

521
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 5: but I.

522
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 8: Was about to say, I don't want to Tarniship. That's

523
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 8: the things too, Andrew. I know we we cherish all

524
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 8: things beat.

525
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to soil that when I'm with Ethan

526
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: Kleinberg playing tennis in Waldwick, New Jersey, alright.

527
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 5: So I think my I think Mikey A, what was

528
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 5: your prediction? Andrew Brand said Adnan would win. I had

529
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 5: my own prediction. I'll tell you the second Mikey, where

530
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 5: were you going?

531
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 6: I had? I had Kleinberg with the upset six three.

532
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 3: I want to be very clear here, Adnan Burke, our

533
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: friend play tennis today with a guy named Ethan Kleinberg

534
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 3: who doesn't really observe the Jewish holidays.

535
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 6: Back to the podcast.

536
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 5: Okay, so I I was thinking's as ad Nan beat

537
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 5: him six three the first time. Adnam went in very

538
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 5: very confident, perhaps too confident, and Kleinberg went in there

539
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 5: thinking I got to beat this guy. And I think

540
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 5: Kleinberg gave max effort. I think he stole a set

541
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 5: from yet dand seven to five Kleinberg is what I had?

542
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 8: And what was the Andrew's prediction?

543
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 2: Andrew just has me winning, of course, yes, yes, six

544
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: for you, six to one first set, for one second

545
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 2: set and just an absolute devilish verk demolsist climb.

546
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 4: What what happened with the second set? Why didn't you finish.

547
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 6: Him Offleinberg gave up?

548
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Fleinberg was tired.

549
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 8: Yeah too humiliated because you know what, I can't do

550
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 8: this anymore. What per hour? It's fifty two dollars, So

551
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 8: two until three o'clock eastern. We got six one more?

552
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 8: You want to keep going?

553
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:45,280

00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 4: two games?

557
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 6: Yeah?

558
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: Exactly wrong, A man strong.

559
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 8: You know I appreciate it.

560
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 4: I don't play anymore.

561
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 8: You haven't played in a while, right, you don't play anymore?

562
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 4: No, I do the trafon thing, you know.

563
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 5: Do I I told that Dan earlier I would buy

564
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 5: tickets if you had had actually played a match, I

565
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 5: would I'd purchase tickets.

566
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 7: To that does the tennis thing. Andrew does the triathlon thing.

567
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 7: I do the buffalo wing thing.

568
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 8: We're all got our things. But by the way, so

569
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 8: here's the key I worked at with Climberg. That's all good.

570
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 8: We've demolished him.

571
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 2: We've established that Maddy V and mad Dog both and

572
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: will be network guys, apparently both big tennis guys. I

573
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 2: texted Maddy V. Can we play Maddie B's in my area?

574
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: Apparently fifteen minutes Vagas anytime you want to play? I

575
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: think he's pretty good, so he'll probably beat me. But

576
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: after that, I gotta get mad Dog one on one.

577
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: Do gots courts up?

578
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 6: All right?

579
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 5: I have mad Dog? Okay, I will get mad Dog

580
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 5: for us. Can we get our started on that? Well,

581
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 5: I'm co hosting his show. Okay, so we just so

582
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 5: we were all clear on that.

583
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: Okay, you're gonna work your connections. Go dude, Dan loves you.

584
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: We gotta get a tennis but we'll do it for charity.

585
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 5: Okay. So it's gonna be me and mad Dog versus

586
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 5: you and Maddy V. Right now? Can I somehow replace

587
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 5: Maddy V with Kleinberg? It seems like an easier matchup

588
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 5: for me and yeah.

589
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, depending on how the match goes. If you're down,

590
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: you can stop the climber.

591
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 8: For you know.

592
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,320

Speaker 2: gonna figure it out.

622
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 5: We love you, buddy. By the way, I want Cleinberg

623
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 5: on this podcast. Make that happen.

624
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 6: I will get mad.

625
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 5: Dog if you get me Kleimberg.

626
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 8: Okay, that is the easiest train of my life. I

627
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 8: climbing right now.

628
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 5: All right, get out of here. I want to spend more.

629
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 6: Time with friends.

630
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 8: Awesome, thanks guys, by Andrew.

631
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 5: All right, So, Andrew, I want to ask you. Just

632
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 5: pick it up from there, seamless transition. I wanted to

633
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 5: ask you, so, if you're the Dolphins, if you are

634
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 5: the Jets, if you're any team, and you're interested in

635
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 5: Deshaan Watson, who wouldn't be, and you're running that front office,

636
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 5: what are you doing? What are you offering? What are

637
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 5: you doing to try to get the Texans to give

638
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 5: up to Shaun Watson?

639
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 6: Yeah?

640
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 4: I mean listen, you're doing what you what I just said,

641
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 4: the Texans don't want hun which is throwing a bunch

642
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 4: of a bunch of picks, which we and all know

643
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 4: picks or crap shoots, even at the top of the draft,

644
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 4: it seems, and you're trying to offer players that you aren't.

645
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 4: You aren't totally committed to. I mean, listen, a gun

646
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 4: to my head, and this is kind of the opposite

647
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 4: of your question. If I'm the Texans and gun to

648
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: my head, you've got to trade them. What are you

649
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 4: looking for? Okay, you're you want to look at that roster,

650
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 4: you know, give me a sheet of this of the

651
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 4: Dolphins of the Jets. I want your best young offensive player.

652
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 4: I want your best young defensive player. I want a

653
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 4: few number ones. And what can you give me a quarterback?

654
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 4: You know? And so you know you have to make

655
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: them do a completely stupid deal. And if I'm Nick

656
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 4: Cassario and the Jets keep calling, or the Dolphins keep calling,

657
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 4: or whoever else, I'm saying to the GM, now you

658
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 4: understand if I ask you for something, you're gonna not

659
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 4: like it. It's gonna be something you would never ever

660
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 4: do because if you say no, great, great, We're not

661
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: moving Sean Watson. It's not like us wanting to do this. Now.

662
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 4: I think the real question is we were saying before

663
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 4: had Nan checked in, is can make himself such a

664
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 4: pain in the butt that you have to trade him?

665
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 4: And I'll reiterate there's nothing he can do before August.

666
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 4: In my mind, you know, what is he gonna do?

667
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 4: Miss zoom meetings? So but come August, you know, I

668
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 4: guess he can make him pain in the butt. But

669
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 4: this idea has to come before the draft because of picks. Again,

670
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 4: who cares about picks?

671
00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 6: Right?

672
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 5: But if you start sensing I guess that the Shawn

673
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 5: is simply not going to play come August you have

674
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 5: the Texans. You have to do something, right.

675
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 4: I suppose. I mean I do think that. You know,

676
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 4: having been on a team, we always had unhappy players

677
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 4: about their contract, about something, but it usually coalesces when

678
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 4: the team gets together. You know, Ron Wolfe, my mentor,

679
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 4: used to say, I don't care about unhappiness in March.

680
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: I care about unhappiness in like December. Right, I'm not

681
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 4: so sure that this doesn't. You know, when he gets

682
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 4: when he gets with his buddies, I don't know in

683
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 4: August that it doesn't change.

684
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 7: But is there a difference in this instance, because it's

685
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 7: not a I'm not showing up because I'm not happy

686
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 7: with my contract and you go, Okay, if we get

687
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 7: in a room and we hammer it out, well, we'll

688
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 7: make the numbers work. This seems like an difference of

689
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 7: opinion that can't be changed.

690
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 4: I'd sure like to know what that is, Mike, I

691
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 4: really would like to because if it's all about Easterbye,

692
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 4: you know, then the got to really step in. It

693
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 4: seems like easter Be's got the owner under his spell, right,

694
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 4: So where are you going from there? And this seems

695
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 4: like a really good GM, you know, coming from New England.

696
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 4: I think he's made some good moves already. And you know,

697
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 4: if if I were doing it, you know, maybe this

698
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 4: has already been done. Intervention meeting agent, player, GM coach,

699
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 4: keep easter b out of it, keep the owner out

700
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 4: of it. Maybe the owner comes in to support it.

701
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 4: But you know, can that happen? Let's see? And if

702
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 4: they intervention with a problem, then that's something to talk about.

703
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 3: When Colin said he's too booked, do you think he

704
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 3: meant he was actually booked? Orios's bookie too much money?

705
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 3: Boaze in five?

706
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 5: Who is from what you're hearing, who is the second

707
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 5: best quarterback in the upcoming draft?

708
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 4: I'm hearing Wilson. Wow, That's what I'm hearing. You know.

709
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 4: I think there's always recentcy bias recncy bias. After Justin

710
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 4: Fields had that great semi final game recency bias with

711
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 4: Mac Jones in the Alabama winning everything. But I keep

712
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 4: hearing this guy's name is number two.

713
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 5: All Right, I'm gonna play a quick game with you.

714
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 5: Before that, I have a quick fill in the blank

715
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 5: or and a true and false for you. The greatest

716
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 5: packer quarterback of all time is.

717
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 4: To get me in trouble.

718
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 6: That's why I asked it. You don't have to answer

719
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 6: if you know.

720
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,319

Speaker 5: Brant or can't.

736
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,120

Speaker 6: Brandt or can't can't? Okay?

743
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 5: What happened there? With what Russell Wilson? By the way,

00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 5: do you know, like, is he gonna get moved? What's

745
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 5: gonna happen there?

746
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 4: Sam, I'm still on that hill same as Watson. Can't value.

747
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 5: I agree with you on Russell. I think, well, yeah,

748
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 5: there is no equal value, so you're right. But I

749
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 5: think Russell stays.

750
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 4: And the Bears tried. It sounds like they really did try.

751
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 5: But okay, but not a singing ship?

752
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 6: Okay? Correct.

00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 5: is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's

779
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 5: like Mike, if you go to a synagogue and you

780
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 5: listen to people, they're kind of mumbling.

781
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 6: No one knows how to say it in Hebrew.

782
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 8: And the.

783
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 4: Veteran could be a good show. He could be.

784
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, he really could be. Not as good as Climburn.

785
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 5: Cam Newton will make the playoffs in New England? Brand

Speaker 6: Brand or can't can't okay? Brand for me?

789
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 5: Eating food after you dropped it on the floor.

Speaker 4: Nerds. Only nerds in law school and business school know me.

Speaker 5: Sports podcast. Check it out for Andrew Brant at Andrew

820
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 5: Brandt on Twitter using Crestfallen that Deshaun Watson's not being

821
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 5: traded to the Jets, according to Andrew Brant and Dan Burke.

822
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 7: Listen, I I the man is very accomplished, He's very

823
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 7: he knows what he's talking about.

824
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 6: I think he's wrong here. I think Deshaun Watson is

825
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 6: going to force somebody's hand.

826
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 5: Okay, this is a guy who is a former NFL GM,

827
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 5: He is an NFL insider. He is as connected to

828
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 5: the NFL as anyone we've ever had on this goddamn podcast,

829
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 5: and mikey Hey refuting everything.

830
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 6: He did say.

831
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 7: Listen, he was a GM before Twitter, before guys could

832
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 7: have these public tantrums that you know, might force the

833
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 7: team's hand.

834
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 6: I believe that.

835
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 7: I believe that he really thinks he wouldn't trade him.

836
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 7: But I think the Sean Watson has more power than

837
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 7: any quarterback has ever had when Andrew was a GM.

838
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 6: So I agree with you.

839
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 5: I think the Jets the Dolphins the two likely scenarios

840
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 5: for Deshaun Watson. If you're the Texans, you have to

841
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 5: come to the realization, Mike, he's not playing for us.

842
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 5: He doesn't care. He's got a lot of money already.

843
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 5: He'll see if he has to. He's not playing for us,

844
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 5: and you just get the biggest haul you can get.

845
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 5: But you need to get a quarterback back. So the

846
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 5: Jets have the pick. So I think Deshaun Watson to

847
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 5: the Jets. You get darn Old back. They just signed

848
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 5: Tyrod Taylor, and then you get whatever amount of picks

849
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 5: you can get for the New York Jets, and they

850
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 5: have plenty of number ones over the next two seasons.

851
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 5: The Dolphins also one of those teams who have TUA,

852
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 5: who have two first round picks this year. They have

853
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 5: the Texans first round pick this year, and then they

854
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 5: have two next year. So I think one of those

855
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 5: two teams will be the likely destination for Deshaun Watson.

856
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 5: So now we have two gas bag idiots with zero

857
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 5: connections saying the connected guy is fucking wrong.

858
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 6: Let me ask you a question.

859
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 5: Of course we did it after he hung up on us.

860
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 6: Are gonna disagree with him to his face?

861
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 5: There is nothing more stupidity than what just happened on

862
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 5: this episode. But the big news is the big news

863
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 5: is okay, ad Dan forced climbing into submission.

864
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 6: I mean the mercy rule. Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness.

865
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 7: I didn't think Adnan could could dominate on anybody in

866
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 7: that way except for maybe, you know, trying to get

867
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 7: a word in. Because Adnan just just just beat Kleinberg, Kleinman,

868
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 7: whatever his name is, it's Kleinberg. Yeah, just just destroyed him, intimidated.

869
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 6: I look at Adnan different now.

870
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 5: Six one mercy rule in effect. Adden is still he

871
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 5: still has the belt. And if you notice what add

872
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 5: did there because that man simply cannot stop talking, is

873
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 5: he got out of the way. He left there because

874
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 5: we were hogging up. He was hogging up Andrew Brandt's time.

875
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 5: You noticed that, right, Yes, yes, that was very nice

876
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 5: of Admin.

877
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 7: I think I'm just gonna send him the link every

878
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 7: time we do stupidity and see if he just wants

879
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 7: to jump in for a quick five minutes, no matter

880
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 7: what no matter where he is, no matter who we're

881
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 7: having on, ad Nan just dials in and just does

882
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 7: a quick five minutes and leaves.

883
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 5: All right, And I just want to tell you this. Okay,

884
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 5: there's a message from me to you. Okay, let's just

885
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 5: down there right on this note. Okay, if mister Ethan

00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 6: I understand stupidity.
