Speaker 1: Seems to have a lot of favor receivers, but certainly

00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: this is one of them. He is working on a

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: deal with the New York Jets. I can't say for

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: sure that the Jets have spoken directly to Aaron Rodgers,

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: but I know they've spoken to his camp in the

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours, so he in. The communication continues,

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: rich gay. Whistle will take it where he where he must.

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,200

Speaker 1: where he may Mike. He might make you uncomfortable, but

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: he's spitting truth. He's pushing the envelope, pushing it. That's

31
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: what he does, pushing it. Colleen and Twistle fashion, I'm

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: great again. I showed up today in a sweatshirt and

33
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: now I feel like I'm at Like Bill Belichick vibes

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: a little bit like should I should I cut the

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: sleeves off of this and just make it. That could

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: be a good look. It could be a good look.

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what we do at the end of the show. Yeah, ok, yes,

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: stay two of Free agency week, and there are so

39
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: many things to talk about big moves. There is the

40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: biggest domino still, I guess I don't even know if

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: it's a domino anymore. With Aaron Rodgers. It has not

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: officially been announced, but we're gonna take a little bit

43
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: of a different angle on this around the NFL. We're

44
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: we don't cowtow to Big Roger. We have decided to

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: proceed Greg as if this is a done deal, right.

46
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: They don't want you to say legal tampering. They don't

47
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: want us acting as Rogers move has already happened. We

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: don't listen today. We're not on your timeline. We're in

49
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: the studio. Let's talk about it. I mean, you're bringing

50
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: in every former pushing guar outside of like Jamichael Finley

51
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: to the Jets. We know what's happening. Let's just talk

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: about it. This is the resistance. Yes, well, breaking news stitude.

53
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: The Jets quest for a new quarterback in our minds

54
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: has concluded with Aaron Rodgers now being the new quarterback

55
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: in the meadowlands. Thank god it's happened, and now we

56
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: will do fifteen minutes on whether Joe Namath should give

57
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: up his number twelve to the Packers legend. Let's dig in,

58
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: let's start there. No, um no, the news is an

59
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: official But the more reporting that comes out, this is happening.

60
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers will be the quarterback of the Jets I have.

61
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: It's a big difference between now, Connie and this time

62
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: yesterday where I was so filled with anxiety that I

63
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: was tweeting out Ryan Townehill trade parameters. Yeah, and rich

64
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: Isisen was like, relax, dude, you gotta relax. Not wow,

65
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: that's right. It was actually, man, you got to calm down. Oh,

66
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: calm down, calm down. Wow. If anyone said to be

67
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: a weak out, he's probably right in a way because

68
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: I was spinning. But now when you hear the reports

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: that Alan Lazard is in talks with the Jets and

70
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: and not anybody else, and what was Mark? What was

71
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: what was the Rodo World headline connected to Rogers in

72
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: the Jets morning? Let me source that for you right now.

73
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: It was Rogers Ransom note to ny J full of

74
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: Packers and obj well. Because Aaron Rodgers has asked the

75
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: Jets to um heat seek Randall Cobb, which is like

76
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna help a friend Lazard

77
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: as you know. I think it's a good addition. I

78
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: think he would be a Sadies Lewis. Who's I think

79
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: my age um Odell Beckham. Wait, he's part of Generation Next.

80
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: I believe he's the only other person in it. Wasn't

81
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: he a MJD's draft class. Yeah, it's like John Coon

82
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: as well, and also James Starks, who was on the

83
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and ten Super Bowl. I can't even tell

84
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: when the joke begins or if that's a last two

85
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: names are not connected, but it does include Odell Beckham,

86
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: and it's like, I think if you're Joe Douglass, you're thinking, like,

87
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: could I be more publicly controlled by this individual? You know?

88
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: The reporting is, you know, and people are saying it's

89
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: not official. We keep hearing from both sides it's not official.

90
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: They still are figuring out. It's like, okay, we get that.

91
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: They it's an annoying negotiation for both sides in terms

92
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: of the compensation, whether it's the trades or the money

93
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: that like no one wants to lose. But also both

94
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: teams are operating absolutely as if it's happening, because it

95
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: has to happen. It's gotten too far at this point.

96
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: And uh, it's exciting. It's exciting for the Patriots to

97
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: be predicted dead last and they watch out. Yeah, I mean, listen,

98
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: if this is true, it's happy. No, I'm talking about

99
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: ESPN's reporting with these players that he wants. Uh yeah,

100
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean it also takes two to tango, so he

101
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: could he could provide that list. We could see if

102
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: the Jets actually, in good faith pursue all those players.

103
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: I would hope they don't, and I would hope that

104
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: with you know, history is instructive, as Chris Westling was

105
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: known to say, what we saw with Nathaniel Hackett and

106
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and Hackett is now in the building with

107
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: the Jets. If you if you view your your inside

108
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: of your building as a true partnership between the quarterback

109
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 1: and the coach and the staff and the organization. Sometimes

110
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: I could go sideways, So you can't give him everything

111
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: he wants if you don't think it's right for the team.

112
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: That said, I do trust the brain trust of Douglas

113
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: and Sala to provide the necessary pushback if necessary. Still,

114
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: he's got to be officially in the boat on this show.

115
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: He is assuming he is, the Jets are in a

116
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: very good position. This is a very exciting time for

117
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: Jets fans. And I just think, and you look at

118
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: where they where this put would put them in the AFC.

119
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: You know, it puts him in the mix. It puts

120
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: him as a legitimate potential contender in the NFL, in

121
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: the AFC, and I will take that, and I think

122
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: it's definitely a roll of the dice, but it also

123
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense and way better than an alternate universe

124
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: where they were saying we took Zach Wilson number two. Overall,

125
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: We're going to give this one more try. This is

126
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: an aggressive move for a veteran legend quarterback and maybe

127
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: maybe you roll a big number and win it all.

128
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: Who knows. I mean, we grew up listening to wfa

129
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: N and NFL Network sampled some Jets callers calling in

130
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: as the Jets fan base because you know, as a

131
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Browns fan growing up, Like I think the Jets and

132
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: Browns had some shared DNA, but forget the Browns. Like

133
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: the Jets fan base is out there in a universe

134
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: all by themselves among all sports fans. I just really

135
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: feel that way because it's been such a rough, terrible

136
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: trail through darkness for Jets fans for so long that

137
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: all this angst and annoyance there you go. They still cheer,

138
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: but like with're Aaron Rodgers, Like this has been an

139
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: annoying process, we can just let's not like it's an

140
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: annoyed us all in various ways. Who cares if it

141
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: happens and suddenly Aaron Rodgers is your quarterback, it changes

142
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: the division entirely. It changes the Jets from top to bottom,

143
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: and there is an incredibly actual, tangible hope that the

144
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Jets could be entertaining for the first time in eons. Right,

145
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: They've been creating cap space to get to this moment.

146
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: They also traded for Chuck Clark last week. That was

147
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: kind of quiet, nice little safety pick up. The reason

148
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: it all makes sense is because the rest of the

149
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: team is in a good position. Joe Douglas has put

150
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the team in good position. They lost

151
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: more games to injury on their offensive line than any

152
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: team in the league other than the Rams last year.

153
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: That they had to survive all those injuries, that was

154
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: a big part of the reason that I think MICHAELA.

155
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: Fleur got fired. Was just bad injury luck because I

156
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: think he would be a nice offensive coordinator for this

157
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: team and would fit obviously well with Aaron Rodgers. But Hackett,

158
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: who hasn't called plays at the NFL level in a

159
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: long time and that doesn't have a great history, should

160
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: be good enough. And you have Garrett Wilson, you have

161
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Elijah More. We'll see who ends up staying, because I

162
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: do think there'll be more moves. I think that, I mean,

163
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: of all this happening officially would make sense by the

164
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: league gear starting. It's already happened. It has already happened,

165
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: but like on this show, it happens happening like Wednesdays

166
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: and day because I will I am curious about some

167
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: of the details contractually. And then who else is on

168
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: the roster with him, not just all the former Packers,

169
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: but if any of these Jets are gonna get the

170
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: heave ho uh to clear up cap space because a

171
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: lot of the big cuts around in the league, and

172
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: this isn't just Jets, haven't happened yet some of the

173
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: ones I expected, and I think it might happen Wednesday

174
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: when teams officially happen. Aaron Rodgers, the gm um, you know,

175
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: it's interesting. It's the moves that he really wants the

176
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: Jets to make to bring in a lot of these

177
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: guys in their prime. Um, well, see, this is the

178
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: type of stuff that people can miss me with because

179
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: it is this is a moment. The prevailing narrative was

180
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: that the Jets were gonna blow this and not get

181
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and as we've announced on the show Today show,

182
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: that has not happened. And now the narrative is that

183
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: it's going to work out terribly and that he's going

184
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: to run the organization. Everybody have fun with it. Well,

185
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: who is actually saying that? I don't think. I think

186
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: here's Colleen Hello, go check out the rodal World headline.

187
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: It's all fine, but everybody can enjoy it. It's good.

188
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: But if it was going to another team, you would

189
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: have the same concerns. Because he has a very short window.

190
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you don't do the move. But giving

191
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: him all the power in the world is the same.

192
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: But did they give him all the power in the world.

193
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: There's some I mean, you've got the leverage, you might

194
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: as well use it. The assumption here is that this

195
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: is how it's going to play out, and perhaps it will.

196
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say there's going to be a lot

197
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: of critical takes around the move because the assumption that

198
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: it's not going to work out, And that's what I'm

199
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: not interested in personally as a football fan, as a

200
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Jets fan, I'm just right now absorbing it as a

201
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: time of incredible hope and optimism as a fan that

202
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: you took this roster and Joe Douglas has been a

203
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: very interesting GM for the team. I've brought it up before,

204
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: but I'll bring it up again. He is like in baseball,

205
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: power hitter who hits two thirty five but can hit

206
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: fifty home runs. And that's how you have Joe. That's

207
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: how you ended up with Zach Wilson on the roster,

208
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: which is a big swing, and miss McKay Beckton, which

209
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: is a pretty big miss right now. But also how

210
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: you ended up with Sauce Gardner home run, Garrett Wilson

211
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: home run, Elija Vara Tucker home run, Breece Hall home run,

212
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: DJ Reid and free agency another home run last year.

213
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: And they now have this roster to make a play.

214
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: And I think it's fascinating that now you add Rogers,

215
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: who I think a little bit of what's been talked

216
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: about with Rogers and how he wasn't good last year,

217
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: and he really wasn't. Some people, I think have attributed

218
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: that to age and as he a quarterback and decline

219
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: certainly possible, but he also played with a broken thumb

220
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: on his throwing hand, and I think that has been

221
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: lost in the mix, especially when you realize he won

222
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: the two MVPs back to back the year before, the

223
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: two years before. I think, like again, this is hope

224
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: season now, very high level, and it could end poorly

225
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: because in the past years since I've been a fan,

226
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: ninety nine week one, Vinnie Blue is Achilles Pennington with

227
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: the shoulder issues, Farves starting out great and blowing out

228
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: his biceps rex of years petering out just when it

229
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: looked like they're about to get over the hump. History

230
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: tells you that Jets will once again fall on their face,

231
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: but it just takes one year for everything to come together.

232
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: And I am all in on this being an opportunity

233
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: for a tap and you should be. You can live

234
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: in that space and that's no one can take that

235
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: away from you. And I also would say that like

236
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: bad luck from the past for literally any sports team

237
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with what will happen from here

238
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: on out, and like I like I would if I

239
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: could get. One thing for Jets fans to do is

240
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: to cut ties with all the angst from the yester year.

241
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: Let it go, because if you want to treat this

242
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: new that's fine, but you need new energy in general.

243
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: I love this for the Jets. I think you actually

244
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: have a good team around Rodgers, which matters, but you

245
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: may only get Aaron Rodgers for one or two years.

246
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: That's the one thing about it which is a little

247
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: bit you still have to get, like build a team.

248
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: And Joe Douglas is an argument to not get rid

249
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: of the GM the minute he misses on a quarterback

250
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: because he's done all the good stuff, jump the Jamal Adams, rookies,

251
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Years, the awards. He can do it.

252
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: But this only works because I think Aaron Rodgers is

253
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: coming to a team that's pretty well set up to succeed,

254
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: but in a very top heavy, crazy AFC, so nothing

255
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: is guaranteed here. And even if he's only with the

256
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: Jets for two years, imagine how many primetime games the

257
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: Jets that would be wonderful they could play Week one

258
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: they I mean they I mean they could play Thursday opener.

259
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: If they don't do this, we turn really dark. And

260
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I think the other part of this with yes, it

261
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: makes them a power player in the AFC, at least

262
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: ahead of the season. And it goes both ways because

263
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: I think, a, yes, there's a lot of pressure on

264
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: them and they have a very difficult schedule. They did

265
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: not host the Jets, by the way, they just checked. Okay, um,

266
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: they have a tough schedule. The AFC is loaded, like

267
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: there will be a lot of hyper around the Jets.

268
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: But I think will help them a little bit that

269
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: it still will be a situation where not everyone's gonna

270
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: be picking the Jets all of a suddenly go to

271
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. They're just now, to me, one of

272
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: a handful of very compelling teams and a conference that's

273
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: loaded compared to the ANC. And it is fascinating to

274
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: look at the landscape changing in terms of quarterbacks with

275
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: the NFC. Now who is who are the best quarterbacks?

276
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: It's Jalen Hurts, and then where do you go from there?

277
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: Dak's probably number two, which is great, Actually that's not

278
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: that crazy. But then it's like you're talking about like Stafford,

279
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: you're talking maybe Offen Cousins. Yeah, yeah, it's it's not

280
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: great that it's tricky because like, what is gonna mean

281
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: success for the Jets? I think you you make this

282
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: trade to win a super Bowl? But I find that

283
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: daunting to think like that's the only definition of success.

284
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: Even making a Super Bowl is a daunting definition of success.

285
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: If they are a winning, exciting team in prime time

286
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: and they win some playoff games along the way, to me,

287
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: be enough to qualify it as success because you're not

288
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: doing it right now with Lamar Jackson, as I mean

289
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: with with Zach Wilson. The only thing that's crazy is

290
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: that at this exact time, there's potentially another MVP available

291
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: that the winners of what three of the last four

292
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: MVPs are available, Rogers and Jackson, and you're making this

293
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: choice to go for Rogers. There is another door where

294
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: in theory you could try to go after Lamar Jackson

295
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: and make that happen. It's not happening, And it's just

296
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: a weird moment in this like league that I can't

297
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: remember two players being available at this high of a

298
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: level at the exact same time one's obviously very old,

299
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: and he has complications that you know are involved with

300
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: bringing him there, including the contract, and Lamar has his

301
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: own complications too, and they're making this choice. And to me,

302
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: it's box office. I only checked it. I wasn't trying

303
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: to be annoying the chief's schedule because I thought when

304
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: you said that, that's it. That's the open. That's amazing.

305
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: It's a road game, so they wouldn't open and met life. Uh.

306
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: They they only open in Kansas City and the Jets

307
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: are are the road team, because otherwise that's it right there.

308
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: I would love that. Um, and yeah, I think background

309
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: is important. Like we've been doing this podcast ten years.

310
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: Their Jets are sixty two and one oh six with

311
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: zero playoff appearances in those ten years. So to add

312
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: Rogers to this very exciting young roster makes them relevant

313
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: in the league and opens the door for something special

314
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: to happen. I feel really good about it. I think

315
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be your time. I do. No,

316
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm serious. It is weird. When I'm nice, I get it.

317
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: It feels strange, but I'm serious. I think it's I

318
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: haven't seen you experience it yet. It's been it's been

319
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: rough and I do want to watch a super Bowl

320
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: with my dad, and the clock's ticking and it's just like,

321
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: maybe this will be it. Where's your dad on all this?

322
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: I hope we would talk to him later in the week,

323
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: but I don't know, actually, because I don't think he's

324
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: a huge r this guy. I think he's one of

325
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: the guys that my dad goes. I don't like Rogers.

326
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: He's arrogant. I think he might have to deal with

327
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: that arrogant players list where he ranks. Speaking of rankings,

328
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: I do have an assignment. My next Power Rankings is

329
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: on Monday. Kandie we might have a podcast next money

330
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: when heads up Um. She's so busy honestly about the

331
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: schedule of this show by listening to the pot and

332
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, what the schedule changes next week? M

333
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: I might have three AFCs teams at the top ten

334
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: of the Power that that's part of the trick here.

335
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: It's so hard to make a super Bowl, like like

336
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: like the Bengals are gonna feel as good or better

337
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: about their chances to make the Super Bowl as a

338
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: jet the Bills I would put in that category. The

339
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins are close if they're not if they wouldn't be

340
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: right there to me, they're nine and ten to me

341
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: in some honor. Yeah, they're figure that out. They're close.

342
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: The Ravens, if they can keep Lamar Jackson like, are

343
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: still gonna believe that they are contenders. The Jaguars, I

344
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: would put at them a couple of personally, but they're

345
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna have high hopes. We know the Chiefs are the Chiefs.

346
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: The Chargers and Broncos are trying to get in the mix.

347
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they're a little below where the Jets app but

348
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: they're not schlubs. And it's like, it's just like a

349
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: lot of teams. It's a lot of teams, a lot

350
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: of teams in the NFL. I meet a lot of

351
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: teams something definitely that just means half of those teams

352
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: are gonna go into next offseason with deep disciplines. Yes, yes,

353
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy, though, Aaron Rodgers on the Jets that

354
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: this is a thing that's happening right and strange. We

355
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: beat the mainstream news that stream by days. Who knows

356
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: by the time Keith comes on later this week, hopefully

357
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: stream media will have got up some problems. All right,

358
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: Please refer to our show from twelve days ago, when

359
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: he finally and what do we do? We do something

360
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: just this is the emergency right now, we can We're

361
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: gonna keep coloring in uh you know what we should

362
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: color in buck here with some of the details when

363
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: it happens. But this has taken care of the emergency.

364
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: We should have banked the pod ahead of time, the

365
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: emergency pod that Aaron Rodgers is signed. Yes, mister Graver,

366
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: if he retires at the end of all this, I'm

367
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: just gonna like this pod, delete this section of it,

368
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: and we'll just roll straight into the next and so here. Okay,

369
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: thank you. That kind of sets me up from my

370
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: last point. If something does happen, if he retires, or

371
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: if he forces himself back to the packers and it

372
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: makes their life more hell, I will be hyper disappointed

373
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: because you just heard everything I just said in the

374
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: last twenty minutes, but also be like, all right, we

375
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: dodged that ball. This guy is completely off the reservation.

376
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: Because this they wouldn't make any This makes too much sense.

377
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: It has to happen, and that's why it did happen

378
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: on this show, in this studio. Right now, what is

379
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: a bit what would be a more high level. I

380
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: would almost enjoy this a bigger punking of the Jets

381
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: than Aaron Rodgers convincing jew would almost enjoy it. Go on,

382
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: well to go, Let's say the Jets go get Randall Cobb, Beckham,

383
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 1: and then Aaron Rodgers just retires. It's like he's just like,

384
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: I just did it to you, Like Joe Douglas does

385
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: his press confers and it looks like he hasn't shaved

386
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: it in the week and he's drunk, and he's like,

387
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: we just like the upside of all these players. It

388
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with quarterback. Yeah, leaders grizzled um

389
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: romantic about football. Man, I'm still gonna give a little

390
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: a little flower, some flowers. Oh wait, we're not giving flowers.

391
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: Why you know, I think he was. He was right

392
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: in terms of the timing here that that that was

393
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: the moment where he the bat signal was sent out.

394
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: And now it's like, you gotta fill in all the

395
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: details around him, But I'm not questioning that man's reporting.

396
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: So he was the one person that beat this h

397
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: because it is official, right, it's happened, So he broke it.

398
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: You're right, but we're like the first we are the

399
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: first show to analyze the move ye with certainty that

400
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: it happened. I really did. Yeah, I think Wingo would

401
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: respect what we've done here. All right, let's take a break. Okay,

402
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: it's one of the stranger segments we've done, I feel like,

403
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: but I feel okay about it. I think part of

404
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: it as a Jets fan is I feel like this

405
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: might be the ultimate Jink scenario that were like daring

406
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: the universe to do something stupid. But absolutely now, honestly,

407
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: this was like a therapy session. I feel right where.

408
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: It's like a small really good work today. Dan like,

409
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's a risk. We're not afraid

410
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers, but if this somehow went south, this

411
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: would be a funny moment in podcast call him for

412
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time. I feel like myself,

413
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: this was really great work by you, and the work

414
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: will continue. It's never finished, but communication we made some

415
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: really good progress today. Great, let's take a break and

416
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. All right, We're back, all right.

417
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: So we broke down the Roger situation and hopefully this

418
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: cities where it is and we will now look at

419
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the league day two of the free

420
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: agency period. The league gear starts officially tomorrow Wednesday. We'll

421
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: be back with another show to break all that down.

422
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: But deals are happening. Let's start, let us start well,

423
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: let's stay in New York. It is on a New

424
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: York city right now with the with the football teams,

425
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: the Giants of course coming off eight. It's sound turn

426
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: that up in my headphones. Is there more to the song? No?

427
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: Or is this just the whole song? This? Are there verses?

428
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: Breathe just a little bit more, hang on, hear those lasers?

429
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: Is you like that? Yeah? I don't think we're going

430
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: to get a verse. Um, So people are excited. It's

431
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: a very clear, simple message. It is on. The Jets

432
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: have Aaron Rodgers and the New York Giants and now

433
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: added a big piece on their offense with Darren Waller,

434
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: who has moved in a trade from the Raiders Tooman

435
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: for a third round pick. A third round pick, Mark

436
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: Sessler for a player who not so long ago got

437
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: a huge contract and was seen as a pillar, a

438
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: load bearing weight. Is that what they said in Los Angeles?

439
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Load bearing weight bearing wall of the Raiders leg Yeah

440
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: he is now? Guess was deemed to be a yeah,

441
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: fifth table leg on a square table and has been

442
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: sent packing. Big pick up for the Giants. I mean,

443
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: it is you needed, you need to continue to add

444
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: weapons because you have Sterling Shepherd, Isaiah Hodgins, Wandale Robinson

445
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: and not a lot else. Daniel Bellinger at tight end.

446
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: I continue to kind of wonder what the Raiders are

447
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: attempting to accomplish on our planet at this point. But

448
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: I just simply anything that the Giants do on offense,

449
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: I just start essentially with Brian Dable and say I

450
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: trust it. I just trust it's going to work out.

451
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: And you know, Waller was phenomenal with the Raiders for

452
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: a stretch last year. Injuries and stuff, he vanished a bit,

453
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: but I think it's a great pickup for a Giants

454
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: team that cannot stop adding weapons left and right. It's

455
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: so messy from the Raiders though, absolutely like they gave

456
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: him a really good contract, which he earned with a

457
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: couple of big seasons twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. But they

458
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: gave him that contract right before last season started, and

459
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: then there were reports that he was available for a

460
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: possible trade just months later, like literally six weeks later,

461
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: at the NFL trade deadline that Darren Waller might be available,

462
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: and there was even buzz that, like Josh McDaniels, it

463
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: wasn't quite a fit. He didn't love him, but then

464
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: they gave him the contract. So it sure looks like

465
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: from the outside that ownership wanted to give him that contract,

466
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: and I can understand that, like he was great for

467
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders, but the coaching staff didn't really want him,

468
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: so they gave him the contract and now their tradium

469
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: for pennies on the dollar like six months later. It's

470
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: just like, that's not how a good team is. Just

471
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: feels like Josh McDaniels, Like Josh McDaniels to me is

472
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: an agent of pars Up. Yep. Yeah. I mean when

473
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: you look at Darren Waller, the problem, the concern I

474
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: have with him is the injury history. But those two

475
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: back to back seasons that he had with the Raiders

476
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: were bonkers. He was so productive with them, and you

477
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: think how far he's come from what was he like

478
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: signed off the practice squad from the Ravens. Personal issues

479
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: that he overcame, right, So it is a comeback story

480
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: and it's an absolute need for the Giants they've been

481
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: pretty quiet and free agency, and now they go out

482
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,239
Speaker 1: and they get a pass catcher. Yeah, I'm with you,

483
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: Mark that the deble of it all, benefit of the doubt.

484
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: You just gave Daniel Jones a lot of money working

485
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 1: under the theory that he will become something greater than

486
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: he is right now, which has taken the step up

487
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: and becoming like a top ten quarterback in the league.

488
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: Waller is sneaky old, maybe a sneaky old Hall of Famer.

489
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: He's entering his age thirty one season, but still should

490
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: have at least a couple of years in the tank

491
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: where he could be an elite guy for them. I

492
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: think it's a good trade for the Giants for the Raiders.

493
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: It tells you that McDaniels obviously is running things, and also,

494
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, is that an organization to trust. And then

495
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: the one other part of the kind of fun little

496
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: nugget and all this is that this is the one

497
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: hundred overall pick that's being moved. That is a draft

498
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: pick that the Giants got from the Chiefs for Cadarius Tony.

499
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: So the Giants essentially traded Cadarius Tony for Darren Waller,

500
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: and that's interesting, and I like the way the contract

501
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: is structured too, because there's no guaranteed money after twenty

502
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: twenty three, so they can see what they have in

503
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: him this season and then not have to be on

504
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: the hook for it. Right to the Raiders credit, they

505
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: structured the contract they gave to Waller in such a

506
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: way they're actually not taking any cap hit for this

507
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 1: almost at all. There's very little dead money, and I

508
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: think it's a good deal for the Giants because there's

509
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: not a lot of risk. He's gonna make eleven million

510
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: dollars this year and that's totally fair. And as Colleen mentioned,

511
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: if for some reason it didn't work out, and you know,

512
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: he only had under four hundred yards last year, a

513
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: little over six hundred yards two seasons ago, so that

514
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: that's a couple of seasons there. If it didn't work out,

515
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: then they'll move on. And they barely gave up anything

516
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: for one hundredth pick that's basically a fourth round pick.

517
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: At some point, I feel like we need to add

518
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: an eighth round. There's so many compensatory Okay, here we

519
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: go or the Niners got how many a lot, So

520
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: there's so many compensatory picks. That there's actually more than

521
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: a round worth of compensatory picks. There's more than thirty two,

522
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: So we're into the eighth round. Like this hundredth pick

523
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: is is the fourth round? Yeah, and just use it.

524
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: Aspens Well, I was I was to say, um, personally speaking,

525
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: day three of the draft is a bit of a slog.

526
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm ready to take that podcast. Um that's getting another round.

527
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: It makes us have to stay longer. And oh so don't.

528
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: It's just the naming every thirty same amount of picks.

529
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: I just mean it's confused to have a more commercial

530
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: breaks potentially like a lot of nonsense, like they had

531
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: the orangutang announcing a pick in Indianapolis or something like

532
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: that a couple of years. They gotta be Shelman too.

533
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: I thought that, No, we just need to let's get it,

534
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: put it, make it two minute. You got two minutes

535
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: to make a pick after round three. I love this,

536
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: by the way, just the risk wise for the Giants

537
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: because it's good. I thought they were maybe gonna try

538
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: to sign Gaseki or Dalton Salts just because there's not

539
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: good wide receivers available and there's some good tight ends. Instead,

540
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: they get Waller, and maybe Waller was a two year

541
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: wonder or whatever and it doesn't work out. But I

542
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: never never quite set well with me. And I think

543
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: a lot of Giants fans felt the same way that

544
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: the Tony trade, given the upside that he had as

545
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: a player, and then you watch what he did in

546
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl kind of helping to win that game

547
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. Now, I feel better about it. I'm

548
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: a Giants fan. Now I have this potential all pro

549
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: tight end that you traded essentially for Tony, and yeah,

550
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: you're not done. I optimism they're gonna bring in another receiver.

551
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll be a trade or a

552
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: free agent, but they need one. Speaking of wide receivers,

553
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and the Saints are staying in business. He

554
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: signed a one year, ten million dollar contract with New Orleans.

555
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: You can earn another five million in incentives that from

556
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: schefterm so greg that is a deal that makes sense.

557
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: It's weird. I think part of it, and the Michael

558
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: Thomas contract is very hard to understand because at this

559
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: point it's been restructured like seventeen times, including as recently

560
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: as January February, which was supposedly gonna lead to a release,

561
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: but they would have eaten, I believe, if I'm understanding

562
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: it right, a lot of dead cap hit if they

563
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: cut him, So you might as well keep him because

564
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, how does Michael Thomas have the leverage at

565
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: this point to make ten million dollars? Like, he hasn't

566
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: played football in quite a long time. But I think

567
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: it's because they would have eaten that cap hit if

568
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't on the team, so you might as well

569
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: keep him around. There's a lot of incentives on that deal.

570
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: He was excited about Derek Carr and they actually have

571
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: a kind of a fun group of weapons. If Michael

572
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: Thomas could ever see help. Yeah, Chris Love, I mean,

573
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: like I think he helped recruit Derek Carr to some degree. Yeah,

574
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's it's always it's a plus

575
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: for the quarterback. Um not unlike the Raiders. The Saints

576
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: continue to mystify me on on some levels as to

577
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: what the end, what the actual goal is here on

578
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: But Mike keep jobs, I guess. Michael Thomas, like I said,

579
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: everybody banished from our lives for the past. Well, he

580
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: was season ending injury, what three games into the season

581
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: last year, and then the offense and the team was

582
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: sort of irrelevant because of the quarterback play. And so

583
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: now when you have Derek Carr in there and a

584
00:30:54,600 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: jazzed up Michael Thomas after he jazzed up Michael Thomas

585
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: and so character thank you for that. But yeah, she's back.

586
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what did we say your name is,

587
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: But she's sixty four years old and she's got a

588
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: lot of pluck for an older lady. She's been smoking

589
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: packs of cigarettes for years and years. Guys, it's just

590
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: my asthma. I don't swimp um. But Derek Carr, he

591
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: said that he couldn't get off the phone with Michael

592
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: Thomas like he Michael Thomas was such a huge, huge

593
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: factor in him kind of signing there and putting everything

594
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: over the edge. So it just kept you know, um, yes,

595
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: so we will see how that is. And by the way,

596
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: he did look I don't know if you mentioned it,

597
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: Greg I was doing a little administrative work. He looked

598
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: pretty good early on last season before he went down again.

599
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: That's fair and I think Saints fans would have been

600
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: heartbroken he it to see him in another uniform and

601
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: then stay healthy. So I do kind of like this.

602
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: There is like a little bit of a vibe of like, oh,

603
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: those guys are still there with the Saints though, like

604
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: including their head coach. Jamis Winston is coming back. He's

605
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna be Derek Carr's back up the coach, right yeah's

606
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: comma and Jamis Winson right now. I just been like, oh, like, oh,

607
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen, he's still their coach. That's odd um. And

608
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is still there. Oh, Jamis Winston is Derek

609
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: Carr's backup in the year twenty three for the New

610
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. I don't know. That seems weird, but I

611
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: think it was a good move. As for the Saints,

612
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: He's only getting four million dollars. Jamis's market really uh

613
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: took a hit, and for four million dollars, that's a

614
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: nice backup. Like Dennis Allen and Jamis Winston seemed to

615
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: have a weird year together, like relationship wise last season. Yeah,

616
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: I know. I mean Dennis Allen is not a popular

617
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: figure on the show, and I don't know, he doesn't

618
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: have a huge track record of success. Uh, but like,

619
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, what was he supposed to do last year?

620
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: Was he you act? Like he was. He was coaching

621
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: the seven page. It was just the way that he

622
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: ran the team. I don't think um like he has

623
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: shown anything as a head coach. I mean he is

624
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: fifteen and thirty eight, right, he's not. It was a

625
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: strange promotion at the time, and yeah, but it was

626
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: tough situation with injuries quarterback. So yes, I'm not giving

627
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: you a ton of rope when you're historical record, we're

628
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: any rope you're saying you should have been one of

629
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: the Chauncey Garner. He's one of the reasons that that

630
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: player was not on the Saints, and he was sort

631
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: of the heart and soul of that defense. Was he

632
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: in contention to win the NFC South in like late

633
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: December early January? Well, what's that saying? Nothing? I mean joke?

634
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: So were we um the Yeah? And then he lost

635
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: to who it was? It did beat the Eagles, remember

636
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: a little hot they were the Eagles killers, I know,

637
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: But then in the week eighteen they lost to that

638
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold performance. It wouldn't have mattered in the end anyway.

639
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: I do wonder if Derek Carr is going to move

640
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: up in the quarterback rankings having a good defense and

641
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: then having Chris and Michael Thomas like what a fun

642
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: things actually turned around of it. The next if I

643
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: have to do a power rankings next week, when are

644
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback ranks? Don't don't even suggest that, right, I'm

645
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: going to approach that. I just read an art this

646
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: is right now. The system is kind of John Gruden

647
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: like in New Orleans. I'm wishing I think it can

648
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: kind of. I would say, maybe that's something to start

649
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: working up. Yeah, I have an article coming out next

650
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: week is various trades are you doing grades? Yeah? So

651
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: I'm already I'm entrenched already, so all right? And other

652
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver newss the Raiders who just traded Darren Waller

653
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: signed wide receiver Jacoby Myers formerly the Patriots. Patriots three years,

654
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: thirty three million. There there is something yeah, going back

655
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: to this McDaniels thing, there is um something inevitable about

656
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel's team, about how certain moves are made and

657
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: what's done, and then her and bringing in his former

658
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver Myers, who had a good market mark and

659
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: this particular free agency. I think it was helpful to

660
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 1: him that he came out this year. He gets twenty

661
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: one million guaranteed. So I know Patriots fans wanted Meyer's back,

662
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: but Josh McDaniels got the guy he has history with.

663
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: You could argue for our you know, slapping the Raiders

664
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,479
Speaker 1: to and fro that Davante Adams, Jacoby Myers and Hunter

665
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: Renfro is one of the better trios wide receiver wise

666
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: in the conference. He's probably in the back end of

667
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: the top ten, maybe, but that's so. I like the

668
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: move a lot um I initially when doing a lot

669
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: of work and a lot he's doing a lot of

670
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: but he's that good he is, and he vanished for

671
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: games a couple times last year. But they I mean,

672
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a you've got to try to

673
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: treat Jimmy G the way he had so many people

674
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: around him in San Francisco, and I thought he in

675
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: those eight games. You have Jimmy G on the field

676
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: this year, you really want to put a lot of

677
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: good players already suggesting that that's all he'll he'll last for. Okay.

678
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: I love Jacobe Meyers, so I do think that they're flexible.

679
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: He can play inside and out. Renfro he's kind of

680
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: just an inside guy. But Adams can play inside. Now,

681
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: that wasn't a lot of money. The free agency market

682
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: in general, I think it's been somewhat conservative outside of

683
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: like the Lineman. But yeah, you didn't have to pay

684
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,479
Speaker 1: for much. I'm not sure why the Patriots wouldn't pay

685
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers eleven million dollars a year. But it does

686
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:13,479
Speaker 1: give Jakobe Myers a chance to make good on his

687
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: history in Las Vegas, because the last time he was

688
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: there he was throwing a ladder that get intercepted by

689
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. So I like that that eventually he gets that.

690
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: That's the best newsroom moment for me of the sofar era.

691
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: That lateral interception. You want to hear it, I have it.

692
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: You have the play itself. Look at Ogger Grave, Digger

693
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: mac Jones hands it off on a drat Mondre Stevenson

694
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: breaks out of a tackle at the fifty, has the

695
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: forty five, breaks away from another tackle, pitches it backwards

696
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: and now Jacobe Myers, spitting around, he throws it now

697
00:36:49,400 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: towards the d stares, Oh my goodness that the playoff

698
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: no spiritually, spiritually they actually had a good chance still

699
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks later, but they lost it, but

700
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: if they had that win, would they have been in

701
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It's amazing that happened to Bill Belichick.

702
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: I just think it's people. Here's what also has happened

703
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: to Bill Belichick. How about you have like one wide

704
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: receiver under contract right now and absolutely have used like

705
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: somebody like what's darn Waller? I mean like the j bro. Yeah,

706
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: they paid. They paid Nelson Agilar eleven million dollars a

707
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: year a couple of years ago, and they wouldn't do

708
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: it for Myers. They will bring in some players, but

709
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: the whole idea of like, hey, let's go get those

710
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: former Patriots never worked in the past. But it really

711
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: doesn't work U when you're doing it off of like

712
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: a seven and ten Patriots team. It's like, oh, the

713
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: Texans can't wait to bring in Chase Winovich. It's like

714
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: stealing off of this mediocre Patriots team is does not

715
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: seem like a strategy. And Jacoby Myers, he actually had

716
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: a pretty good seasons last year, considering what a mess

717
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: the Patriots, notwithstanding he was a quality player for them. Yeah,

718
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: he was good and bad circumstance, he was entertaining that

719
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: in that Vegas game. It's highly entertaining game for everyone,

720
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: but especially was immensely entertained. Uh, Austin Ekeler, Let's update

721
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: this situation. We talked about it yesterday that the report

722
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: was out that he was requesting permission for the Chargers

723
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: to seek a trade. He has been granted that permission

724
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: according to sources. So now, Uh, Eckler, I would think

725
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: will be moved. I could be wrong, but it seems

726
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: like this is all headed a certain direction and not

727
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: a good one. If you're Charges fan, it makes you

728
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: seem like you're a little bit little league in my opinion,

729
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: because you have Justin Herbert, and you have this window,

730
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: and you have Keenan Allen with not too many big

731
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: time of years left. You get Mike Williams in let's

732
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: go for it with this great core, and instead you're

733
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: going to trade away a guy that's thirty eight touchdowns

734
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: in two years? What makes sense as a good landing spot?

735
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: Colleen for Austin Eckler, did we talk about the Bills? Yeah? Yes, that, UM,

736
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: I would say the Dolphins, but didn't they just sign

737
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: They just resigned Moster and Jeff Wilson. They are bringing

738
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: back their backfield for pretty low running back. Maybe maybe

739
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: the Bears. Maybe still I think the Bears and the Falcons,

740
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: who both have a lot of cap space. With the Bengals,

741
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: if Joe Mixon, what about Tyler? Tyler l jars But

742
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: that's a commo served by it, and that's that's thunder

743
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: and lightning. I mean, that's the kink's gonna be Patterson

744
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: Is he not in there? Well, he's there too, But

745
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: you can use them. They used like five guys. I

746
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: just feel like that's a fun duo. It's a team

747
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: that likes he's a great landing spot. The Chargers, how

748
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: about what we do? That's yeah, that's what I'm saying.

749
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about the Chargers, but I never

750
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: feel great about the Charger backs. Cut Joe Mixon and

751
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: go get Eckler. That actually kind of feels like Bengals move.

752
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: I do like, well, you your draft assets have been

753
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: depleted after the trade with the Bears. But the Panthers

754
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: traded Christian McCaffrey. They have a need back there I

755
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 1: think in their backfield, and you're gonna you pair him.

756
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: He's he is you know what Eckler is among many

757
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: things including friend of the show. He is kind of

758
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback's best friend. And if you give a young

759
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: quarterback Austin Ekeler behind you somebody as a safety valve

760
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: that you know you could get the ball too, and

761
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: he's going to find a way to help your team

762
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: win games and getting the ends. I would say, so

763
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hate the Eagles, but the Eagles have just

764
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: agreed to terms with Rashad Penny. I like that Penny.

765
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think they had to pay a

766
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,959
Speaker 1: lot for him, but when he was healthy, and that's

767
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: been a very short time in his career, he was incredible.

768
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: So it's like a total low risk, high reward move.

769
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: I doubt they're paying him anymore than a couple million

770
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: dollars or something. I didn't go breaking news there because

771
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: they're in a fragile place with the breaking news a

772
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, so I just wanted to just allow

773
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: the news to again. Justin has earned the right to

774
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: take some creative and editorial leaps, Yes, and he leapt there.

775
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: He leapt I think maybe you got here's some I

776
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: have some more notes pod. Maybe there's some drops that

777
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: are not breaking news, but like maybe you need to

778
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: do some like developing news some right, but just like, hey,

779
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: this is some news. Maybe there's a third there's a

780
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: new drop that we don't have that is the perfect

781
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: valve for a rashad penny that little clown knows horn

782
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: that West used to love. I mean that's mean we

783
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: were we were at it wet, we were at a

784
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: big rashade penny performance with our families, a random Tuesday

785
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: afternoon football game. He won't cost much, by the way,

786
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler like these trades. Waller goes for nothing, Ramsey

787
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: goes for nothing. Might be a good sign. Rogers, because

788
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: of the contract, might not go as for as much

789
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: as people think. Like Ekeler, I think they'd basically be

790
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: giving him away for close to free, like it'd beck

791
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: and saving the money. I don't think it would. What

792
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: do we cost that much? All right, let's hit a

793
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: little four pack here. Defensive lineman getting paid. Draymond Jones

794
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: gets fifty one million over three years from the Seahawks.

795
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 1: Zach Allen to the Broncos thirty two and a half million,

796
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: fully gallant guaranteed, Dalvin Tomlinson to the Browns twenty seven

797
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 1: and a half million, guaranteed on four year deal. Marcus

798
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: Davenport gets thirteen million from the Vikings Takeaways Takeaways shoot

799
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: him out. I like what the Browns have done so

800
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: far with Tomlinson and Obo agbo Ok caught it. I

801
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: kind of like like Tomlinson was was very good for

802
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: the Vikings. He had a two year, twenty million dollars

803
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: or twenty one million dollar contract last time around in Freezenzy,

804
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: he outperformed that. Like guys who can take up multiple

805
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: positions no matter what type of front that you use.

806
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: They could use some run stop and I feel like

807
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: the Rounds have quietly had a couple of nice days.

808
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: Well those were absolute defensive line. Edge were massive needs

809
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: for Cleveland and they've they you know, I started to

810
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: see this defensive linement going everywhere else. Cleveland found a

811
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: way back in, so that's good for them. I think

812
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: Zach Allen is an interesting one for the Broncos. It also,

813
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: for me highlights how desperate the Cardinals are right now.

814
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: They have they yours, no Zach Ellen anymore, There's no

815
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: Jj Watt, you don't really have any presence at Edge,

816
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,959
Speaker 1: and I just think that team is spiraling into into

817
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: the Abyss Broncos are spending more money than anyone. They're

818
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: the offseason champs. Here, Ben Powers twenty eight million guaranteed.

819
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: Mcglinchie fifty million guaranteed. Zach Allen thirty two million guaranteed,

820
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 1: who was one of my favorite. I love that signing.

821
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: I love Zach Allen. And also it's going to be

822
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: nice for him to go to Denver and you know

823
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: Vic Fangi or Vance Joseph's there, so you have like

824
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: a nice little rapport already in place for the transition. Good.

825
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: They also resigned Alex Singleton gave him too much money,

826
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: probably for like an okay off ball line. Becker Jared's

827
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: did him got a lot of money. They're just spending

828
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: that Walmart money. I think I think there is an

829
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: advantage to being a rich owner. You can spend more cash.

830
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: You say one advantage, I mean because there's a salary advantage.

831
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: The advantage is like capped on some level because of

832
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: the salary cap. But these teams like the Saints who

833
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: act like a rich team. Is this guy talking scrow?

834
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: They got that Walmart escrow. They're gonna open up a

835
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: new Walmart just to put their NFL s grow in

836
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: that money concept. When you have a lot of networks.

837
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: Greg Rosford, thank you, thank you, remember that one. That's

838
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: a good one. Esco. Yeah, escro you need actually a

839
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: physical space, like a big warehouse to keep it, I believe. So, yeah,

840
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: that's why it's physical. Money is just piles suitcases or

841
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: the big money bags, the canvas bags, dollar sign on it.

842
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: What it is just like gold treasure got a treasure

843
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: chest like a big pool you jump into, like Scrooge McDuck.

844
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans were very surprised because that Draymond's got one

845
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: of the biggest contracts in alive free agency. There's a

846
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: lot of money there in the first two years and

847
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: they never spend big. I never know exactly what the

848
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks are doing, but he's like a high risk, high

849
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: reward type of signing. I would say Davenport is too,

850
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: and it kind of makes me think Zadarius Smith is gone.

851
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: That was just a one year deal for Davenport, who's

852
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: had a very up and down career. Also released Shelby Harris,

853
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: who I like, and Quinn Jefferson, so they needed Seattle's

854
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: an interesting team to try to figure out. We have

855
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: to wait kind of till after the draft. They have

856
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: premium pick coming up. Like where do they fit in

857
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: right now? When you talk about the NFC, this would

858
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: indicate that they really want their defense, like they're gonna

859
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: be a little more aggressive in the past to make

860
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: that defense better. Hasn't been great for a while. Let's

861
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: take a break and then we'll hit the rest. All right,

862
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: we're back. Let's get into some backup quarterbacks. Jamis Winston.

863
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: We mentioned he is going back to New Orleans to

864
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: back up Derek Carr. A little bit surprising, you could say,

865
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: but that's kind of also, Connie, where Winston's career seems

866
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: to be at this point. He doesn't appear to be

867
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: a guy scene as a bridge at this point. He

868
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of he went through the young franchise star number

869
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: one overall pick phase, then he went through the Saints

870
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: fresh start slash bridge phase, and now maybe this is

871
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: his market. He finds a backup place where he's comfortable. Yeah.

872
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean watching him last season, it was a rough

873
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: start for him and then he was hurt, so I

874
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: kind of I felt for him a little bit in that,

875
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,240
Speaker 1: but he also didn't really perform great in those starts.

876
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: Four touchdowns, five interceptions. It was just it's been rocky

877
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: for him from the beginning and it continues to be

878
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: that way. In other quarterback news, Taylor Heineke, how about

879
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: this cecy he is joining the Falcons. So the idea

880
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: of the Falcons getting in on Lamar Jackson, Well, now

881
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: they have their quarterback quote unquote of the future in

882
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter. Now you have Taylor Heineke is a fairly

883
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,919
Speaker 1: high level backup. I guess maybe they are out on Lamar.

884
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 1: I think they're also it tells me they're The deal

885
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: for Heineke is a two year deal worth up to

886
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: twenty million. We'll see the particulars, but the first year

887
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: was just six point two five so it's kind of

888
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: like a one year, six million dollar deal within sentences

889
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: fair enough. I mean it tells me though that they

890
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: I take them off my list of a team that

891
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: you know they have a high draft pick that they're

892
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: gonna go quarterback there. I think that there's enough belief

893
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 1: in Desmond Ritter and that came right from Arthur Blank.

894
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think they stop them? But they're

895
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: the combination of him and Ritter. I think something like

896
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: they seem to like ridder enough they love him. That

897
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: seems like, yeah, approval Ritter getting heine I think they

898
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: also know where they are in the draft. They're not

899
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: gonna trade up, and they're at eight, then you're gonna

900
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: have a great guy. I followed you necessarily. I did

901
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: find an interesting Heineke had a market. Washington wanted him back,

902
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: and he ended up getting more than Mike White and

903
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: more than Sam Darnold and more than Jamis Winston. I

904
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: mean only a couple million dollars more only. But I

905
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: like Heinek. I think he does some things here and

906
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: there's spicies, kind of got some verb to him. They

907
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: targeted him. I mean, you know who else got some verb?

908
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Right, So they say that they don't want

909
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, but they're super in on Desmond Ritter, and

910
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: it's gotta be it. It's gotta be annoying because I

911
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: don't think the Lamar Jackson story's necessarily gonna get written

912
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: until after the draft. Lamars Sweaton today, by the way,

913
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: that oh yeah, I like that. Here's what he had

914
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: to say, because there was a report out there that

915
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: he turned down undred million guaranteed that that came from

916
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: Schefter um back in September, and then Lamar replied one

917
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: thirty three over three years, fully guaranteed emoji face like

918
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: an annoyed emoji face. I would say, but I need

919
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: an agent, laughing face face palm. I think you do, sir,

920
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: But that's okay. And then he added, people throw poop

921
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: emoji at the wall and hope it sticks. Crying laughing

922
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: emoji looks like someone blowing smoke emoji. Also his response

923
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: to the initial tweet, which was an aggregated report about Schefter,

924
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: which I don't even know if I need to find

925
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: out the particulars if Schefter exactly reported that, but he

926
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: was saying that never happened, the two hundred guaranteed and

927
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: if he was offered one thirty three over three, you know,

928
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of an insulting offer, not consulting,

929
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: but you would It's not an offer that the Ravens

930
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 1: would ever expect Lamar Jackson. I think Lamar should have

931
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: just done this whole holdout thing. Yes, lost his leverage, right,

932
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like other quarterbacks got paid by doing

933
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: that earlier in their contract status. And if you're Todd Munkin,

934
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: who's their new oc. You're sitting here. I mean, you

935
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: know there's time, but you don't know who your quarterback is.

936
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: I do like that he's annoying, like all the football cognizane.

937
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: Like on some level, if the people that are most

938
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: angry that you don't have an agent are agents who

939
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: aren't exactly like the greatest people in the world and

940
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: insiders like who are in bed with agents, Like I

941
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: don't know, you might be doing something right if like,

942
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: if you have you have an agent, by the way,

943
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: I feel like, I just mean, like for like the

944
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: integrity of like sports agents exactly like a job. Sure,

945
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: and it might not be savory to you again, but

946
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: it's all part of how this saw siege. Absolutely, But

947
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: when the people in the media essentially work with the agents,

948
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: as Tanna, but Floria has been very out spoken about

949
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: he really needs an agent, needs an agent. When the

950
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: interests of the journalists and the agents are the same

951
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: and they're kind of working on the same team together

952
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, that's how they do their job.

953
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: To me, that's problematic, and when one person pushes against it,

954
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: you do kind of I root for that one. I mean,

955
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: he's I think it's made it more complicated for himself

956
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: by not having an agent. There are certain little things

957
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: here and there that an agent could have helped to

958
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: facilitate this and probably move the timeline up a bunch

959
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: from where he sits. Right now, he's not in great position.

960
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: We'll see where it all ends. Will it end with

961
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson being a Jet? No, because we have established that.

962
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers says, I also want Lamar Jackson on the roster.

963
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,359
Speaker 1: Will see see if they could facilitate that. How about

964
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: your boy Mike White going to be starting a big

965
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: time game against the Jets next year? Four point five

966
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: million gets the exact same money as Sam Darnold taking

967
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: one hundred I think in sixty eight picks behind him

968
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: in the twenty eighteen Mike White. That's why it's it's

969
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 1: unfair like ball, don't lie. Now they're making the same,

970
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: but he didn't make the same up until this point.

971
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: Mike White's a guy that people love. If you only, like,

972
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: remember a couple of games on him. I'm just saying,

973
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: in that system with McDaniels, like in Tyreek Hill, and

974
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: who knows, I could he'll make us. He could make

975
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 1: a string of starts and then a year later get

976
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: a much better deal. Mike White on the way I've

977
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: been in on Mike White when he's had he had

978
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: two big games, one against the Bears, who are the

979
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: worst team in the league last year, and then legitimately

980
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: great kind of uh within in a dark period of

981
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: their organization's history. It goes down to lore a four

982
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,280
Speaker 1: hundred yard three touchdown game against the Bengals in twenty

983
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: twenty one that ended up with his uniform going to

984
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. He has a fun, little fun

985
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: in a dark time in Jets history. So I will

986
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 1: always be a rooting for Mike White. He was also

987
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: very popular in that locker room. So he's a good guy.

988
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: Play with broken shattered ribs, I mean poorly, but but

989
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what, there's something different about him

990
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 1: and the other quarterbacks in that room year ago. I

991
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to walk with a broken right. I mean,

992
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,479
Speaker 1: he's I hope, I hope the best for him. It'll

993
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: be great. I'm sure he'll destroy you. Don't worry. You've

994
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: got all right. Here we go. What else do we

995
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: have here about Kirk Kirk. Kirk does not get a

996
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: contract extension, which to me is a great Yes, is

997
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: a great sign for the Vikings. They have been on

998
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:38,959
Speaker 1: this weird trajectory with Cousins, where the way his contract works,

999
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: it's almost like they have to put off the pain

1000
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,359
Speaker 1: another year and they give him an extension every year

1001
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: to put off that pain. And this year they're starting

1002
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: to like take themselves off that Kirk Cousins narcotic and

1003
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: they just restructured it and they're I think gonna take

1004
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: the pain next year. It just is setting up for

1005
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: this to be the last Kirk year. It's always with

1006
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 1: Cousins everything, and it took a while for to play

1007
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: out in his favor, and there was a lot of,

1008
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure uncomfortable times with Washington before he

1009
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: finally got the double franchise tag into a big payday

1010
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: to Minnesota, into another big paiday to Minnesota. He might

1011
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: finally be out of leverage after a career of incredible

1012
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: earnings for basically five hundred players as teams. Well now

1013
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: he's above that five hundred mark because they insanely won

1014
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: thirteen games last year as a totally middling team by

1015
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: the slimmest of margins. Like every single time I said it,

1016
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: so many times on our Power Rankings podcast that watching

1017
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,479
Speaker 1: the Vikings was just such a white knuckling experience. They'll

1018
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: be all the way to the end. One of Mr

1019
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: Vegas will have their over under eight and a half.

1020
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: They feel like they're rebuilding there there, they might just there. Ross,

1021
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how this offseason's gonna go. This. This

1022
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: means they put off a little pain though a little bit,

1023
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: restructuring his deal, and I mean they're just trying to

1024
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: get under the cap. They kept Garrett Bradbury, they got

1025
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: other issues. Yes, I think we'll see Scott out of

1026
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: the caught Eric Kent Kendricks. All right, let's let's play

1027
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: the game real quick. Her career earnings for kirk Cousins,

1028
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 1: no looking, no cheating college. So I took a little glance.

1029
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: I can't see anything career career earnings for kirk Cousins

1030
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,240
Speaker 1: since entering the league in two thousand and twelve. Greg,

1031
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: are you googling over there? Uh? No, Okay, I was,

1032
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: but I didn't. I thought you were just asking college

1033
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 1: again the whole gang. It's a big number. He just

1034
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: cleared a very big milestone. All right, I'm gonna go

1035
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: to eleven I'll go two thirty five. I mean I

1036
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: put myself. Oh, he has made two hundred and one

1037
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: million dollars. You guys all went over prices, right rules,

1038
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: that's a loss. So by technically you win, well I didn't.

1039
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm not involved. Okay, it's a win for Kirk, win

1040
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: for Kurry. That is absolutely well put. Greg great transition

1041
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: moment class Campbell cut in Baltimore and I message from

1042
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,879
Speaker 1: the team I believe they sent out. And then Mike

1043
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: Geez reported yesterday on our air that he might come

1044
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 1: back to Baltimore, but I don't know where. He didn't

1045
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: seem like he wanted to. He was like, I'm fired

1046
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: up to go try to win a title as or

1047
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: he might not. Supposedly, a lot of people think that

1048
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: they are truly saving space to match anything into actually

1049
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: pay Lamar Jackson. That's the crazy thing about this is

1050
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: he probably ends up back with the Ravens. I don't know. Uh.

1051
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Vikings, the Chargers signed linebacker Eric Kendricks,

1052
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: formerly of Minnesota two years, thirteen point two five million.

1053
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: He had been with Minnesota for eight seasons. Uh so, yes,

1054
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: the Bolts might be ready to cut ties with the guy.

1055
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: That has thirty eight touchdowns in two years. But they

1056
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: do get this man. Oh in a tough situation financially

1057
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: like that, keep spending on defense, like spend an offense.

1058
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 1: Jimmy Jimmy Ward to the Texans, who also acquire Shack

1059
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: Mason from the Tampa Bay Back and Ears and a

1060
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: swap of late round draft picks, and let's head to

1061
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: the Kicker Club Grave Digger. Yeah, it's open during the

1062
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: off season. In fact, I'll tell you something the Kicker

1063
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: Club gets don't be in the off season. Really. Yeah,

1064
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: it's like check your cell phones in one of those

1065
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: little bags, like like when you go to a show.

1066
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: It's like in a warehouse under a railroad track. You

1067
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: don't know where to find it. What happens in Kicker

1068
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: Club literally cannot be said anywhere else because it's just

1069
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: just STI I'm picturing it as for anyone who's watched Succession. Yeah,

1070
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: Tom when he goes on his bachelor party and if

1071
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: you know what, Colleen Sagan, everything from that episode happens

1072
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: in the Kicker Club and more. Matt Gay gets paid,

1073
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: he gets the bag from the Colts. Uh, So the

1074
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: Rams lose a kicker who's been very good for them.

1075
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: Greg the leg zero line verline also gets a new

1076
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: deal from the Jets. So there you go. The Matt

1077
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: Gay contract is the richest free agent deal for a

1078
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: kicker in the history of the NFL. What has that

1079
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: gone wrong? Well, I would just say if you're you

1080
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: take that to the club, you're operating on a different

1081
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: level than any other two. I mean, there are a

1082
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: few kickers that you could really trust, and because of

1083
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: course Tucker is above all of them. But I'm a

1084
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: team building that seems weird unless you have like a

1085
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: goat level guy to give a big contract on your

1086
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: seller cap. But then again, I'm talking out of two

1087
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: sides of my mouth because kickers have such a huge

1088
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: part of these games and we pay them like they're

1089
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: worth nothing. It screams we haven't had a kicker for

1090
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: like three years. We just have to make it happen.

1091
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: Remember when they made fun of the Bucks Jason White

1092
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: for drafting Matt Gay and he kind of flamed out

1093
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 1: there quickly. And now he's had a nice little career

1094
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: and he's he's breaking my daughter's heart. She loved Matt

1095
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: Gay and she made us watch the Pro Bowl games

1096
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: just for the moment where they played kick tack toe,

1097
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: where kickers would try to kick the ball while playing

1098
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: tick tack to and Gay wasn't even in in the end,

1099
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: we thought he was gonna. I don't even know. Now

1100
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: she's gone having to explain this to her. I have

1101
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: I just didn't do it this morning. Didn't want to.

1102
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: Just drafted Gay and uh Robert Aguayo. I don't know

1103
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: if that was the same. Were you just describe sounding

1104
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: like Aguayo? What I mean like a guy around pick

1105
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: of the buck. Jason Light drafted uh Matt Gay, yeah,

1106
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty, but did he take a guyot too?

1107
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: And then he didn't make like the team he quickly

1108
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: like flamed out twenty sixteen valuable Greg was part of

1109
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,439
Speaker 1: the problem was he went back to kick and people

1110
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: were like, you're doing this again for Aguayo. They did, right.

1111
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: Maybe the craziest draft pick shows, yeah he quote or

1112
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: headline bucks GM defense taking kicker Matt Gay after drafting

1113
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Robert Ohio. Yes, every berta leguire. So he went back.

1114
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Then You can really make a case that no one

1115
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: benefited more from the Tom Brady era in Tampa than

1116
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: like he was. He was on the way out. Yeah,

1117
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: all right, odds and ends Connie. Okay, oh wait, do

1118
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: we have the edition? Of course he has. He's ready

1119
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: for this. So I'm still singing. Huh. So you have

1120
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,640

01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: with yesterday, and then she'll be the fourth And we're

1132
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: getting closer to that goal that we have of the

1133
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Connie choir, Yes, choir, But I feel free to sing

1137
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: Dan said that yesterday. Well, give it a shot and

01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:39,560

Speaker 1: friends it's odds and ends. Now we got the low end. Okay.

1147
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna need a falsetto at some point, so

1148
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: you're going to have to be training ahead of this. Okay,

1149
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: you have some runway though, Graver, can you send me

1150
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: the clip yes, which I believe you asked. You made

1151
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: that request yesterday. What is Graver up to these days?

1154
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: we get a auto tune or something to next? So

1155
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: let's really nick that in eight o'clock to light, Bears

1156
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: continue their spending spree to Marcus Walker could then Ellis

1157
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: get big money from the Falcons, Kelvin Beacham back to

1158
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, Cowboys, they will stay in business with Donovan Wilson,

1159
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and you mentioned Cut Shelby, Harrison, Penton, Jefferson,

1160
01:02:56,080 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: anything else. John Kaminsky just resigned minutes ago. I feel

1161
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: like anyone eat point five million, anyone going back to

1162
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. They're just saying, I own a you know,

1163
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: property here in Phoenix, and I'm not looking to move

1164
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: anytime soon. So exact, Kaden Ellis, it's it's good to

1165
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: have the team that you play for have their coach,

1166
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: and the GM go to your biggest rival. Because there's

1167
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: no reason why he got as much money other than

1168
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: the Falcons and Saints were bidding against each other, although

1169
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: he had like a month of insane play last year.

1170
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has also asked the Jets to sign Dorsey Levins,

1171
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: so he got that as well. He's an executive with

1172
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 1: you know the bits talent. Maybe Jordy Nelson cornerback Emmanuel

1173
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Moseley to the Lions. Okay, two cornerbacks there. I like

1174
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: a man. I like this graver cleaning up the loose

1175
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: ends here. Anything else. Um, there was a couple of

1176
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh signed an offensive guard, Nate something big. Yeah, Patriots

1177
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: signed the Sailors side Nate. The Patriots signed Calvin Anderson.

1178
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: Ever replacement level swing to ah, we're back all right,

1179
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: there you go. We are getting to the point where,

1180
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: like we have another show tomorrow, Like let's see what

1181
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: sort of news lineup we have at that point. Some

1182
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: of these names are becoming a little bit underwater from me.

1183
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: As each day passes, I look more and more forward

1184
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: to the top of show free agency rundown from all

1185
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: our insiders. The names are they're going to continue to

1186
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: kind of go in a certain downward trajectory. But that

1187
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: gets me excited. I want to the real nitty gritty

1188
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: of free agency is what I get excited for. What

1189
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: a time of year for you? Then, oh, we still goto.

1190
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown is out there, Chauncey Gardner, Johnson, James Bradberry,

1191
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, Smart teams Wi Salton Schultz Jujuse, it is

1192
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: true the smart teams do wait. The teams that typically

1193
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: win free agency end up bailing on many of these

1194
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: deals quickly down the line. Just a little buyer beware.

1195
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: I feel like they've never done it. Yeah, any crazy

1196
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: deals this year. Defensive tackles. They got like a decent

1197
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: amount of money a couple of the tackles. But it

1198
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: feels like teams are pretty conservative. Yeah, not as frenzied mum.

1199
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: Jenna Ortega future of Hollywood? I think so. Thoughts, Yeah,

1200
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: there's an argument to be made there. I'm gonna big

1201
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: Ortega kick right now. Start watching Wednesday. Watched her on SNLU.

1202
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: I believe there is some superstar potential here. I've seen

1203
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 1: a number of the Wednesday episodes, so I'd have to

1204
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: side with you. I think she's got I mean, I

1205
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,919
Speaker 1: don't think your first to this corner, but I watched

1206
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: her Hot Ones episode. Okay, I mean, you know you're

1207
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: doing some research. What is it about her sort of

1208
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: thespian catalog that you enjoy her abilities? She inhabits a

1209
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: both smart you could tell she's intelligent and quick witted,

1210
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: sense of humor, very cute kind of girl next door vibe,

1211
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: but also don't mess with her and a good actor.

1212
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,400

1221
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Kind of blown away by that. I believe that this

1223
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:46,200

Speaker 1: he put a spell on you. See. This is usually

1228
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,560

01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: fifteen years old, like The Godfather or well that's more

1252
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: think Greg would agree that if you haven't seen everything everywhere,

1253
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: all at once in the theater, go to the theater

1254
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 1: to see it. Don't wait to be at you know,

1255
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: in your den on a laptop and right, go see

1256
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: it in the theater. I've heard that the performances are amazing,

1257
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 1: the acting is incredible, but the actual story is kind

1258
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 1: of man I would disagree. You like a little post

1259
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: oscars talk about the movies involved with the Oscars. I

1260
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: will you really are behind? If you go to a theater,

1261
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: you won't be able to enjoy the movie with some

1262
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: everything everywhere all at buns. Someone suggests that everything everywhere

1263
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: all at brunch, which would have been really a different dish. Yes,

1264
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean a different setting for the whole party. But

1265
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: that was a good one. What a crime love heart wipe?
