Speaker 1: what is up? Boys? Listen to that music? Ride it out.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what tanking for tam Posey means. We

7
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, there'd be a prize at

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: the end, but we already have her working for us,

9
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: So what would we be gaining if we put a

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: terrible year's worth of episodes out to come in last

11
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: place among podcasts. We're on our way, yeah, not far off.

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: This is our Friday news rundown program. Very exciting time

13
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: for the show because not only are we back to

Speaker 1: eight am Eastern tomorrow eleven am Eastern, a little Saturday

22
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: morning with the kids. Forget like I like to log

23
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: onto that like twenty two pound desktop computer we have

24
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: in that one room that no one's using and watch

25
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: it on I don't know, it's just like a gigantic

26
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: piece of you. Haven't you own a desktop still? I do?

27
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: You know? It's not you gotta bring it to the

28
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: new house or just like that's getting lost in the mix.

29
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: That could be one of those things we've had success

30
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: just putting large objects at the end of our driveway.

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Then like a guy in a truck comes by and

32
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: takes it away about eight seconds this and I could

33
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: be the last time you ever see this entirely fake background.

34
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Have you used like offer up or let go those apps?

35
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Some guy came in a pickup truck and picked up

36
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: my b stro set yesterday and handed me fifty bucks cash.

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: We got. We've gone the less storny free route. We're

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: just sticking it out. We're in. We're in, you know,

39
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: the the eleventh hour of this shift across the city.

40
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: So you don't have anything to add, Dan, I mean

41
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: it's good. I'm glad you got a plug in there

42
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: for a company marks telling us about the stuff he's

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: putting on the street corner. But we got stuff to

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: do because, like I said, we're doing a podcast today,

45
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: we're doing a video show, and uh, it's all there

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: for you the listener slash viewers. So if you listen

47
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: to this podcast after it goes up on the digital

48
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: side at NFL dot com today, no, you can watch

49
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: on NFL Network tomorrow morning. And uh, you know, just

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: giving you guys content for the rest of the summer

51
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: until our formats switches up a little bit or scheduling

52
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: once the season begins, and we'll tell you all about that.

53
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: It might be familiar to last year, but with a

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: little bit of a difference as well. Were crimes and

55
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: is starting in under four weeks. The kickoff game is

56
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: I would already already happened, Uh four weeks from now,

57
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: the Snoopy Bowl would have been played tonight, by the way,

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: So that's the real loss here. If you look at

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: what happened to the country over the last six seven months,

60
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: the Snoop Peo Bowls disappearance, that's v Giants. The game

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: really hasn't been the same since Rex has been gone.

62
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: But that's that's life all right, before we get into

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: the news and this is just a news rundown show

64
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: because like I said, we're very busy today, but we

65
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: need to be in touch with our wonderful listeners. I

66
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: do have some developing news. Okay, so you guys know.

67
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: Obviously on Wednesday's show, very exciting, we rolled out our

68
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: new fan club. It is the Bengals Den. In this club,

69
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even really know what it is.

70
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: We go place, we go a place, we visit and

71
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: then so that's it got off to a nice start there.

72
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: But then um a listener, Josh Rosnowski and great job. However,

73
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: you got a name like that, shut up thor whenever

74
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: you got a name like that Rosnowski and then you

75
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: can just bang it out at Rose and then you're

76
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: just Rose for the rest of your life. That's not

77
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: bad anyway. Roz hits up me Greg and Mark. Greg

78
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: never saw it here. It is just listen to the pod.

79
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: Great stuff is always one thing though, Bengal Tigers don't

80
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: live in Den's. They sleep in the open or wherever

81
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: they happen to be. Lions live in Den's, hence why

82
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: Ford Field is called the Den. Who knew maybe the

83
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: maybe the Bengals rest. I don't know, it doesn't sound

84
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: right to me. What do you mark? This feels like

85
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: something we need to rectify. Yeah, it tell us. I mean,

86
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, I did a little bit of work on

87
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: on my own because we were very correct in general.

88
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they originate in India. I felt that they swim,

89
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: they can swim from island to island. But it left

90
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: me no closer to um a name suggestion. So I

91
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: don't know, if you what where we are with that?

92
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: What does point out that Bengal tigers and then maybe

93
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: the Bengals are bigger badasses than lions going out from

94
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: like hiding in their den Tigers? I did. I did

95
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: see the tweet right before we started and checked its accuracy,

96
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, they usually just like sleep out

97
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: in the open, right next to the prey that they

98
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: just eat ate. I mean, what's more badass than that?

99
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. So here's what I'm thinking.

100
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: Since there is no den, we got to get him

101
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: out of that den. Uh So what we're gonna do

102
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: is we're gonna move him to a sanctuary and will

103
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: become our Bengal sanctuary and uh to do that? Listen, Greg,

104
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: you think it's problematic, We're just getting started. Um Ricky,

105
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: let's uh yeah, let's let's move these bangles. Just the

106
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: tranquilizer dart. Don't worry. Are you sure that was a tranquilizer?

107
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: Is that allowed? Pretty sure? This is a tranquilizer gun.

108
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: Let's bag attack these suckers and get into the sanctuary.

109
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: And now we're gonna have a Bengal sanctuary. It's gonna

110
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: be great. We're gonna take care of them. We were

111
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: just taking them away in a forklift. I feel like

112
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: there's gonna be interference from certain groups. I think said

113
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: the word sanctuary means that they're ultimately like rescue animals

114
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: that couldn't survive on their own in the wild. I

115
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: don't think you would call it a sanctuary if you're

116
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: like brutally um hurting them. I knew you would have

117
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: a problem with this. I'm just saying I've been the sanctuaries.

118
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: The kids love the sanctuaries. It's all like tigers, and

119
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, they were found in some place where they

120
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: can't live, so they it's the only way they can.

121
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: Someone trying to bat they are as a species. Greg,

122
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: you gotta get your head out of the clouds. How

123
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: do you think these uh tripod tigers get to the sanctuary.

124
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: You can't just pick them up and put a leash

125
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: on him. Well, they just take them there on on

126
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: the metro or something very safely, no problems. It's everything

127
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: is being done in a humane manner. Now we have

128
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: this beautiful sanctuary. And at the end of the season, Greg,

129
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: and this, I think we'll make you feel better. We

130
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: plan to set them free in an open field Bombay,

131
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: Downtown Bombay is my plan. Downtown, beautiful, beautiful Junglehara the Sahara.

132
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: You know, I think they like that. All right, we'll

133
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: take care of him. All right, let's do some news

134
00:07:47,320 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: now that we've tackle that right now, the block there

135
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: is Drake dropped the video at midnight, Drake, who you

136
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: may remember number five on the top ten things I

137
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: Love about Canada. He's doing the thing, He's doing Drake stuff.

138
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: And that was Marshawn Lynch Beast Mode himself jacking up

139
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: Drake in the open field and then insulting him and

140
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: a nice little interlude. Greg, you look very confused. Well,

141
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: the whole yeah, I hadn't seen the clip without oh

142
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: b J and Drake the song in general where he

143
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: seems to be coming after Push the T and kind

144
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't know Drake, you know this this part of

145
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: the Drake career not as into right now what about you,

146
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: Ricky seems to be an agreement. Um. Yeah. The the

147
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: video's really really funny, like Drake's crying and he's like

148
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: in a Nike store, like repetitively, like the Nike balls,

149
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Like it's like we get who paid for your video?

150
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: The headquarters in or Yeah, it's insane, his whole video.

151
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: It's so it's worth checking out, and it's very funny.

152
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: It's not a good song. He is the most streamed

Speaker 1: artist mark you're you're big on streaming. He is the

154
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: most streamed artist in the history of music. He actually

155
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: surpassed Eminem somewhat recently. So Drake is, on some by

156
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: one measure, at least, the most successful artist of all time.

157
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: I think he's hit that level or period of his

158
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: career now where he's probably peaked creatively, but he's more

159
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: famous than ever. So the music will probably continue to

160
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: go down, but his fame will continue to stay where

161
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: it is, and I think it comes through artistically and

162
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: little things like if you watch that video, the kind

163
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: of the hook, the verbal hook of the song as

164
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: he goes baby over and over and all through the video.

165
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: He has things like he comes out of submerged water

166
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: and says baby. And one time he's like on a

167
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: basketball court and he gets dunked on he turns his

168
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: head he was baby Like. All he's trying to do

169
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: is at a a meme. He's just trying to go

170
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: viral at this point, so he knows what he's doing.

171
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I like I jumped on the

172
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: Tailor Swift bandwagon late. I don't This doesn't sound like

173
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: the right I want to jump on. Not not right now.

174
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: I do feel like people our age though I'm including

175
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: the guys in the room now that we're all over forty.

176
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: You know, Dan is right there with us. I feel

177
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: like our our era probably doesn't have enough respect that

178
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: Drake is. He will go down with like like Michael

179
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: Jackson and Prince for younger generation. Is that influential and

180
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: that in like one of the greats which made you know,

181
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: you gotta give him, you gotta give him that respect,

182
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: which I don't know if he gets from the over

183
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: forty crowd, but he will. Look he got it from me.

184
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: Top five best Canadian things. Hey, Also, you guys, fun

185
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: little nugget our podcast listeners. Um it shows you who

186
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: listens to around the NFL on Spotify, and one of

187
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: the top streamed artists from our listeners happens to be Drake.

188
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: So let's not alienate him. We love. We're like thirteen

189
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: minutes into this show. We've covered uh, you know, Bengals Layer.

190
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: We were being scolded for, you know, going slightly off

191
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: track about ten and a half minutes ago. And look

192
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: where we are. Is there anything else that's going out

193
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: in the street corner this weekend? Mark? No. I mean,

194
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot more I can offer, but it's it's

195
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: a nobody cares. Nobody cares at all, I don't think.

196
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: So I'll just I'll see you when I get to

197
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: the next place. And it's the Bengal Sanctuary. Uh. We

198
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: don't want to get any more tweets. All right, let's

199
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: get to it. Tight ends getting paid in the NFL.

200
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: George Kittle and the forty niners in agreement five years,

201
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: seventy five million of that seventy five million total. More

202
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: than half of it is made up of guarantees thirty

203
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: million guaranteed as signing, forty million guaranteed for injuries. Still

204
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: don't know what that means. Eighteen million arriving being a

205
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: signing bonus. It makes them the highest paid tight end

206
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: by a wide margin, surpassing Gronk. But guess what happened next.

207
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: Right after that signing, Travis Kelsey got a deal done.

208
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: Interesting interesting numbers here, four years, fifty seven million dollars

209
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: keeps him in case for the next six seasons. The

210
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: deal is worth between fourteen and fifteen million per year

211
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: and new money average. Kelsey older uh than Kiddle. He's

212
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: turning thirty one in October, but he had two years

213
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: left on his deal. And Greg riddle me this because

214
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: you're good with the cap numbers and things like that,

215
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: or you're the closest to being a competent in this

216
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: realm on our podcast. The Chiefs had no room, had

217
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: no cap space according to figures that were public a

218
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: couple of months ago. And then they signed Patrick Mahomes

219
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: to a half billion dollar deal and then made the

220
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: tight end travels Travis Kelsey the second highest paid tight

221
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: end in league history. How did they do it? They

222
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: backloaded them. They are not you know, Patrick Mahomes especially

223
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: is not making that much money in cash or anything.

224
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: Over the next two years. He got a bump, But

225
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: once you spread that money over the ten years of

226
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: the Mahomes contract, he actually saved a little money with

227
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: that half a billion dollar contract. And then Kelsey, it's

228
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: the same similar thing where they're pushing a lot of

229
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: the guarantees into the future. They're spreading the money out.

230
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: They did not have to do this. This was absolutely

231
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: um a move that they are telling Travis Kelsey how

232
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: much they value him, that they think they're getting a

233
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: solid deal on him long term. Um. But that Patrick

234
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes contract, which was very team friendly, as strange as

235
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: that sounds, I think made it more possible for them

236
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: to sign Chris Jones and for them to sign Travis Kelsey,

237
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: and uh that that's all part of the mix. Like

238
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: the guarantees are coming later in the deal, they're pushing

239
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: a lot of money into the future. You're smiling with Dan.

240
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we're in a place now to where, you know,

241
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: all team players all around the league. You've got these

242
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: guys that they will spend the whole off season talking

243
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: about the money they should be making. They want to

244
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: be the highest paid this or that, and their team

245
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: goes four and twelve. The Chiefs are very dangerous right

246
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: now because they have three super key components that this

247
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: offseason agreed to team friendly super team friendly deals that

248
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: allow allows this nucleus to stay together. It's team friendly

249
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: in the sense that there's no signing bonus for for

250
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: any of them. You've got Kelsey's breakdown over the years.

251
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's I'm not saying it's bad for the

252
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: player either than making a ton of cash, but you're

253
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: not gonna find a lot of teams where the players

254
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: talked about, we just want to be here, we want

255
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: to keep this together. I think the Seahawks um had

256
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: to had to sign a bunch of guys to a

257
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: bundle deals years ago their whole defense. But you know,

258
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: it's so hard to keep it together with this case.

259
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: You can look at Mahomes and Kelsey, and I think

260
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: Kelsey is the He's not going to fade in the

261
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: next year or two. The way that he you look

262
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: at his career, I just think he's he's gonna live

263
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: through most of this contract. It's his third one. I

264
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: loved the deal for the Chiefs and maybe a little

265
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: less so for Kelsey. Two years left. Usually get paid

266
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: with two years left. I mean, it's a type of

267
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: contract that Patriots never get. Rob Gronkowski and I and

268
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: I was tweeting about this, and like people had a

269
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: conversation sort about, Okay, Kittle got way more than the

270
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: next highest paid tight end in the league, but he's

271
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: still getting less than the top ten wide receivers. It

272
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: doesn't really make sense. And I think it goes back

273
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: to Rob Gronkowski, who signed a contract in the after

274
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: two years of his contract to start his career. Um

275
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: that he played the entire thing out. He was by

276
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: far the best tight end in the league, and uh,

277
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: he was dramatically underpaid. I understood why he took the

278
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: contract at the time. It was only two years into

279
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: his career, three years off of a back surgery that

280
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: people thought was chronic, and he was setting himself up

281
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: for the rest of his life. But the Patriots weren't

282
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: given contracts like this that the Chiefs gave to Travis Kelsey.

283
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: That's for sure. It speaks to the culture of fear

284
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: and intimidation that was going on behind the scenes when

285
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots were special, when Belichick held all the talking

286
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady Rob Gronkowski, the two greatest players in

287
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: the history of their positions, signing way below market deals.

288
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: At the time, people thought that they were taking a

289
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: huge risk because he had just got surgery. Continues to

290
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: resonate to this day, hurting players in the walls. Because

291
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: Bill wanted what Bill wanted, he got it, He got

292
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: those rings, and he got those guys under contract. It's

293
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: kind of silly, though, that tight ends make that much less.

294
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't really make less than Jarvis Landry. He's to me,

295
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: he's as valuable as any single wide receiver in the NFL. Right,

296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: But there's probably like four or five tight ends that

297
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about that deserve these big wide contracts. Well,

298
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: of course, but every I mean, the position itself shouldn't

299
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: as a whole. Elevated ends don't do anything. He's the

300
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: most important pass catcher in their offense. He is one

301
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: of the most important blockers on their offense, so he

302
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: affects all phases of the game. Uh, maybe that's something

303
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: that gets a drest than time. But if it's not

304
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: happening for Kittle. Now, I don't know who it's gonna

305
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: have to be that's going to get that wide receiver money.

306
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Everson Griffin off the market. The four

307
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: time pro bowler has signed with the Dallas Cowboys after

308
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: ten years with the Vikings. He signs a one year

309
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: deal worth six million dollars. We're getting wild now, by

310
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: the way over on the dot com in terms of

311
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: I know, we wanna make sure all the males are

312
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: fed on who did the reporting, but we got a

313
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: triple We've got a triple source attribution here according to

314
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: rap Sheet and Tom Pellicero and Jane Slater, all three

315
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: of them have reported this, so I think it feels safe.

316
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: We triple sourced our own reporting there within our own building.

317
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: That's the next level. Usually as as an insider, I'll

318
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: tell you go for the triple source, and that comes

319
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: from three sources outside the building. What we're doing, what

320
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: we're doing here at the NFL dot com is we're

321
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: triple sourcing internally before so that would be nine sources

322
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: outside the building three times three unless unless you know,

323
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: the same insiders are getting peppered by the same sources,

324
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: which I think would that that probably feels likely to

325
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: and they're all Steven Jones. Basically, it feels like a

326
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: move where I think Tom and Jane, you know, kind

327
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: of broke it together and then Ian just tries to

328
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: jump in and get his name in there. How about

329
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: this just for the sake of a copy, because Mark,

330
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: you and I remember this on the desk and we

331
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: when we are all the A T N writers, why

332
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: don't we just create a person like a Frankenstein Ian

333
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: Pellis later we don't have to put all these names.

334
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: I like the idea of that. Don't anyway, I doubt

335
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: that you will. Let's get the focus back on ball

336
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: thirty two years old Griffin. We know he can play.

337
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: He's had some off the field um issues that uh

338
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: lad to struggles for him at the end of his

339
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota run or or took him off the field. But Mark,

340
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: the feels like a really nice value add for the

341
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys who get a proven player at a cost that

342
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: is well below what you would expect a player of

343
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: Griffin's ability. I love it for Dallas. I mean, we

344
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that there really just wasn't someone

345
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: across from DeMarcus Lawrence that the pass rush was weak. Um,

346
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: you put them on a line that also has Gerald

347
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: McCoy don Terry po. I think this was a wonderful

348
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: move for Dallas at at a great cost for one year.

349
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: They have sort of NFC title game vibe to me

350
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: if things go right, and you know, Griffin, Griffin has

351
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: talked about like he with those issues that he dealt

352
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: with two years ago, that he is continuing to work

353
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: with the right people to make sure that that doesn't

354
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: bubble up again. You know, not super sure what's going

355
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: on with all that, but last year he was very productive,

356
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: and I think it's kind of it's it's a loss

357
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: that after being linked to returning to the Vikings all

358
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: along and so many changes in Minnesota that they that

359
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: they didn't get Everson Griffin back and he goes to Dallas,

360
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: a team that probably will vie for a division title,

361
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: were with the Vikings for a wild card spot and

362
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: potentially could be the difference here. Well, the Vikings didn't

363
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: want him. I don't know what the story is there.

364
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: He's certainly one of the most productive players for the

365
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: Vikings over the last ten years, including last year he

366
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: had more knockdowns QB not like QB hits uh than

367
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa and Aaron Donald. He was in the top

368
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: twenty in hurries to he's in you know, top ten

369
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: in knockdowns and and had eight sacks too, So so

370
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: something was going on. But they had no interest in

371
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: bringing him back because why do you think though, because

372
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: they mentioned that they were open to it months ago,

373
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: So maybe it was a mutual thing, but they certainly

374
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: weren't interested in paying them very much money or ust

375
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: they would have. I mean they gave they gave like

376
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: nine million dollars to a nose tackle and Michael Pierce

377
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: from Baltimore. Uh, they're starting, uh a seventh rounder from

378
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 1: three years ago at defensive end and Dallas, who I

379
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: thought was really thin upfront. They still have very much

380
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: a boom er bus kind of defensive line. Is McCoy

381
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: and Poe free agents and ald and Smith and Griffin

382
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: all gonna work together. Well, I don't know, those are

383
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: all kind of like upper aged guys, you know, at

384
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: the back half of their gear. But they all were

385
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: pretty productive last year on paper like that could be

386
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: the key to their team. If that defensive line is great, uh,

387
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: they could fly and and if not, then the secondary,

388
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: which which doesn't look nearly as great, could could get exposed. Mark,

389
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: this is not really related, although it as Cowboys related.

390
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: You mentioned that they could be a team you see

391
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: gets to the NFC Championship Game. Do you realize, boys

392
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: and listeners, that the Dallas Cowboys have not even made

393
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: the conference championship game in the NFC in a quarter

394
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: century getting to the Super Bowl. They haven't even gotten

395
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: to the NFL's version of the Final Four in twenty

396
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: five years since they won the Super Bowl in the

397
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean they were perfectly there was how how more

398
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: milk toast could the Jason Garrett experience have been? And

399
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: they hung around with that much longer than some teams would.

400
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: But I am aware of that because I think that, um,

401
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: the draping over Jerry Jones for a long time has

402
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: been all, you know, all the hoopla draping the team

403
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: like they take our shots on Jason Garrett. But Jason

404
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: Garrett got there in two thousand and ten. There were

405
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: before that. It's on it's I think pre midway through

406
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: Garrett's career. I think Jerry Jones and then you're throwing

407
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: Steven Jones. Let the front office change some of their

408
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: strategies a little bit. Their drafts improved, and they have

409
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: the roster now to get to an NFC title game

410
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: if things go right. And had a good quarterback though

411
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: for fifteen years now in a row. So that's so

412
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: that's a disappointment. That's stat I think, if not a

413
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: surprise to Dallas fans, that's for sure. That is like

414
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: mentioned every morning on Dallas radio. It's kind of the

415
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: John Abraham uh stat for the Jets that the Jets

416
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: have not drafted a pass rusher since John Abraham. And

417
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: by the way, the ND I've seen that twice in

418
00:22:53,920 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: copy regarding the Jets. Athletic Yeah, had it, and I've

419
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: seen it twice in the build up to the season.

420
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: Connor Hughes, Yeah, of the athletic. No, the Jets have

421
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: not had a pass rusher since the John Abraham trade

422
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: in two thousand five. It's it's been a while. But uh, alright,

423
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: another position though, So I can see why they they'd

424
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: go elsewhere you don't really need. But you know what's crazy,

425
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: Like even the Jets, who stink and they don't know

426
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: how to do anything, it seems they went to the

427
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: their conference title game twice in the last eleven years,

428
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys twenty five years. It's almost impossible, uh to believe,

429
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: all right. The Falcons added Todd Gurley this offseason. They're

430
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: hoping that he finds the fountain of youth. They're hoping

431
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: that what the Rams believed that they once had a

432
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: franchise altering talent running back, but knee issues made him

433
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: a pedestrian player, and they decided to take a financial

434
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: bath to just move on from Gurley. Dan Quinn and

435
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: company welcome in Gurley. He will be limited, it appears,

436
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: once the team gets into legitimate training camp practice. This

437
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: from Vaughan McClure, great name of ESPN, and McClure added,

438
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: and you could arch your eyebrow here that Gurley has

439
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: been spotted limping while he walks at practice and wearing

440
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: a one of those compression socks over his surgically repaired

441
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: and arthritic left knee. However, this is how you This

442
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: is the old you know Cecila on the fence and

443
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: Sam McClure covered himself. He's also moved very well in practice.

444
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: M hm, sit on that fence. McClure, Well, I mean

445
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: he's reporting he's watching you know, he's watching non padded practice.

446
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm just having some fun. Put put on the Todd

447
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: Gurley tape. That's all I need to see, you know.

448
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: It's it's this weird thing. People are like, well, if

449
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, if Todd Gurley like gets right, it's like, well,

450
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: he's second in the league and carries over the last

451
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: two years he's been on the field. We've seen a

452
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: lot of Todd Gurley since midway through two thousand eighteen.

453
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: And he's and he's air and he's fine. He's a

454
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: he's a running back who he ran hard. Last year

455
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: didn't make many people miss. I would say was around

456
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: league average for a starter. I'm surprised he got the

457
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: contract he did. Like, it's wild to me he got

458
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: about the same amount of money that Everson Griffin got

459
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 1: and that Bruce Irvine got from Seattle. Seahawks fans, by

460
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: the way, trying to convince themselves that they didn't want

461
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: Everson Giffin. Please, you're paying Bruce Evan more money than Griffin.

462
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: Come on, what Seahawks were doing a right? I followed

463
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: too much of Seahawks Twitter, and there was a lot

464
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: of like, oh, well, we didn't want Everson Griffin. Anyways,

465
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: I think it's very interesting that Greg Greg is very

466
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: plugged in on certain Twitter feeds and pockets of Twitter,

467
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: but then conveniently didn't even see certain tweets that we

468
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: raise up into conversations. So I don't, I don't. I'd

469
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: like to mute at all those people. Well, are you

470
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: insinuating that he's lying to us that he sees that. No,

471
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: because I think Greg is. We all have our quirks,

472
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: and I could see Greg muting and not seeing certain things.

473
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: I could I could see that happening. And I don't

474
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: have any more analysis on that topic. Alright, And other news,

475
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: Good luck to you, Todd Gurley to gurl always seems

476
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: like a good guy. I'm bummed because we live in

477
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: l A and um, he really is kind of a dynamic,

478
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: charismatic type dude, it seems, and he should have been

479
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: a big part of the city's sports landscape. But man,

480
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: he's still sport read ads or is that power aid

481
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: whatever it is? Those ads? I think it's on during

482
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: the NBA. It's every five seconds, and it's like, hey,

483
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: it's the biggest stars in sports, you know. It's like

484
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper and whoever, and Todd Gurley, and I was like, huh,

485
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: it's interesting that girl is still in there those billboards.

486
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: What I hope it wasn't Powerade, Like Powerade is like

487
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: the Wrangler jeans to Gatorade's levies. Maybe it's Gatorade. I

488
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: don't know. Uh. In other news, the Bills do some business.

489
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: They give their left tackle Dion Dawkins a four year,

490
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: sixty million dollar extension. Rap sheet and rap sheet alone boarded.

491
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: The deal is worth sixty million with thirty four million guaranteed.

492
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: This is another hit by the front office in Buffalo,

493
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: a two thousand, seventeen second round pick who was entering

494
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: the final year of his contract. So you you know,

495
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: you play out your deal and you get to the

496
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: final year, then your team takes care of you. It's

497
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: not that complicated. Now he's tied to Buffalo through Hey,

498
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: what are you trying? What are you trying to say? Um,

499
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: what do you think? Oh, it goes back to Jamal Adams. Yeah,

500
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: we'll get to Jamal in a second. But it's a

501
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: little bit of patients. You know, Axel Rose taught us

502
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: about patients on the part of the point. Yeah, yeah, patience. Anyway,

503
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: Dawkins has started forty three games and three years in Buffalo. Wait,

504
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: but he's started the same amount of money, the same

505
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: amount of games as Jamal Adams, right, and of him

506
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: start they took care of is that during the final

507
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: year of his So this would be the time to

508
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: pay Jamal Adams I think by that logic, right, Well,

509
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: we didn't have the opportunity because the Dallas Cowboys called

510
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: my GM, and my GM picked up the phone and

511
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: that was it. That was the end of the relationship.

512
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: A lot of money this is this is kind of

513
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: gets to my Kittle thing, like you just have to

514
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: be kind of like an average starting left tackle. Maybe

515
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: Dawkins is a little better than that. He's a good

516
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: young player, he's a good starter. If you find a

517
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: left tackle, you just keep him. But he's kind of

518
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: getting the same as George Kittle money that I guess

519
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: that just it just is interesting to me how how

520
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: that works. Well, I just think there's no questions about

521
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: the left tackle market and the tight end market should

522
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: have tight ends and then st like super tight ends,

523
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: like there's four or five of them. Those guys make

524
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: that money. That should feel a little too close to

525
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: it does even even if I just like many STD

526
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: ease as possible. How about pg tes pretty good tight

527
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: ends get less in v G T E s the

528
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: SDD format two SDD offense, that's what we like. They're

529
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: very stable on the offensive Lion buffalo, that's what you're

530
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: looking for. This was a terrible offensive line for years

531
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: and years, and it is one of the hardest things

532
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: to kind of rebuild. I think it's gonna be your boy,

533
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: Joe douglas biggest challenge here. And I don't know if

534
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: they're a great offensive line, but they're stable, and I

535
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be fine. They're not gonna be

536
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: the reason that the Bills season goes off track or not.

537
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: Speaking of Jamal Adams, defensive coordinator of the Jets, Greg

538
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: Williams got himself. He stepped in it a little bit.

539
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: In his Zoom meeting with the media on Thursday, Adams

540
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: came up and the context was, you know, what's going

541
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: to be the difference between the way Greg Williams used

542
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams as a jack of all trades on his

543
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 1: defense and and what's gonna happen now that Adams is

544
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: playing for a different team over the of the Northwest.

545
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: Here's how the eloquent Greg Williams put Jamal made get

546
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: bored there because they don't use their safety type things

547
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: and all the different complexities of maybe um, maybe uh,

548
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,239
Speaker 1: you got it right, not showing what they're doing as

549
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: much as we do. I mean, can I can I

550
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: speak for the grant the triple g's out here. Greg

551
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: Williams is one of us that that's stumbling he had

552
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: was him realizing as he was talking, Oh, I just

553
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: stepped into it again. I just for no reason, I

554
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: said something that was unrelated to the question. And it

555
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: wasn't really mean spirited, I don't think, but I just whoops,

556
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: I just stepped into it. Well, and I think I

557
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: already gave them the headline that the headline, Jamal Adams

558
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: will be bored in Seattle. I gave him the headline.

559
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: Now I've got to find a way to massage this.

560
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: And he he wasn't prepared to do the massaging, and

561
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: things went off the rails like mid stream. He's realizing

562
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: that he's taking down the architects of the Legion of

563
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: Boom and like cam Chancellor responded to this, Earl Thomas

564
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: probably has a few words to say about it. Greg

565
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: Williams took Dr Brial Peppers and played him about forty

566
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: yards deep for an entire season two years ago in Cleveland.

567
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: What mean you knew what he meant? But I know,

568
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he was mean spirited. But I mean,

569
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: it's just like he just you know what, these there's

570
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: too many people talking all the time. Williams is a

571
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: excellent defensive coordinator. I mean, I really do think he's great.

572
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: The Jets, who had almost no talent last year, besides

573
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, we're a top ten defense. Me and West

574
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: used to be arguing about Greg Williams on this podcast

575
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: back in uh now it could be you and West.

576
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: It would be fun. He's also the most successful head

577
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: coach in the history of the Cleveland Browns present. So

578
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: this man has had some football success. Well, he's gonna

579
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: be your head coach in about two months. So you're

580
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: signing up for the same ride. And then he'll be

581
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: gone and the Dan defends Greg Williams. Uh campaign will

582
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: end at that point. People will have no more. By

583
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: the way, Pete Carroll said, you know, we're so we're

584
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: so simple here and basic, you know we probably won't

585
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: get it to any of that stuff, you know, that

586
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: might be a good idea. And then later and you

587
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: could tell Pete Carroll was was annoyed because he brought

588
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: it up out of nowhere. They asked what Adams brought

589
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: to uh the team as a pass rusher and he said, well,

590
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: he's not bringing Greg Williams with him, that's for sure,

591
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: and late later said the Seahawks defense that doesn't make

592
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: as many mistakes as that Greg Williams defense. So it

593
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 1: was good. They're all just speaking, they're all speaking facts.

594
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: I think the Jets had a better defense than the

595
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: Seahawks last year, but I'm sure the the Seahawks will

596
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: probably have a better defense than the Jets because he's

597
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: an impact player. Um, all right, finally in the news,

598
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: do we hit everything? I think we got everything? Not

599
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: a huge not a huge news. The helmets are on,

600
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: but they're not really like tackling, and so I think

601
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: it feels like Monday is like the the almost unofficial start,

602
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: like real football. Do we hit the Bengals? Then thing?

603
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: Yes we did. Hey, Ricky, was that did you check

604
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: the ballistics on that? That was a tranquilizer dart? Right?

605
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: Yeah sounds yeah. I was for sure. I don't want

606
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: Peter or anything coming after us. Almost it was definitely

607
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: a tranquilizer Dart. I mean that that would have Peter

608
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: coming after you, wouldn't it there. I don't think they're

609
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: tranquilizer dart all scope of you know. I think we're

610
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: trying to take these as safe place. He's still bring

611
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: back out the truck. It looks like we could be

612
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 1: bagged another one. I mean, I I respect the Bengal tiger.

613
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: Put put any one of us in a room with

614
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: a Bengal tiger. We'll see, we'll see how many jokes

615
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: and sound drops you're doing. Wait, what's your take here?

616
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying us versus a Bengal tiger, we're stuck in

617
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: a room. You're not gonna be It was arguing with

618
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: you on that taking them to a sanctuary, a safe place. Mark.

619
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right what Greg is failing to understand here,

620
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: because I see Greg is doing the thing where he's

621
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: going towards the Wow, this bits a little too far

622
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: beyond the pal know what we're taking what we're doing

623
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: with the Bengals. We're taking him to a sanctuary and

624
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: we're taking care of them bagging and tagging them, and

625
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: then we set them free at the end of the season.

626
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: Just it's a little nap, a little tranquilize, or just

627
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: what are you trying to accomplish in these months? Well,

628
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: we stuffed them into a den, and apparently you do

629
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: not do that with a bangal tiger. That's for lions.

630
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: So we had already we had already liked Greg Williams

631
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: stepped in it, and now we need to kind of

632
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: retrace their steps, step out of the poop and try

633
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: to we have to rectify the situation. I mean, Dan,

634
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: your final step is to drop them off in downtown

635
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: bomb Bay. I think we might that might need some

636
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: rewriting that that just sounds like it'll human chaos. We

637
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: have time. Oh before we go, we have breaking news.

638
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: This courtesy of the Latest Banger from Nick shook Over

639
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. Yeah, boy, Mark Baker Mayfield admits

640
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: he lost himself in ten, but he feels better getting

641
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: back to the basics. I like everything I'm hearing out

642
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: of Cleveland, including the fact that you know, I feel

643
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: like this wasn't even allowed back then. But um Stefanski,

644
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, their coach, got on a plane and flew

645
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: to Texas to hang out with Baker Mayfield for a

646
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: bunch of time in February, and uh everything since Baker

647
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: Mayfield's body looks tight, Arrow up, Arrow up. He also said,

648
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: you know, they asked them about, you know, kind of

649
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: all those challenges they have, and he said, We've said,

650
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,959
Speaker 1: as a team, the more time we do complaining, that's

651
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: the less time we have to work. This is a

652
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: new that's my mantra. This Erica, do we still have

653
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: another breaking news? I got another one for you. Let's

654
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: do it. I think our network show started right. Our

655
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: micropod must get Let's do it, Erica. Tavon Austin is back.

656
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: You thought he was gone when he signed that big

657
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: contract on Hard Knocks four years ago. He's on the

658
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: forty Niners. They signed J. J. Nelson to their Their

659
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: receiver group is not looking too good with Deebo Samuel Hurt.

660
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: By the way, you're looking for a reason for the

661
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: forty Niners and take a step back, counting the count

662
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: a lot on Brandon Aiyuk, a rookie receiver, and wait,

663
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: you also have them. You had their secondary on the

664
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: come down. Well, they look like the best team in

665
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: football in some ways. But I'm trying to look for

666
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: some ways that maybe they could run into prop. You're

667
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: signing Tavon Austin. Davia Nelson one of my favorite tropes ever,

668
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: and it finally stopped this year because he only now

669
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 1: he's just a camp body more or less. But Tavon Austin,

670
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: uh when I don't know who it was. It was

671
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: maybe one of the Jones boys, maybe Stephen Jones. So

672
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: that Tavon Austin last summer was gonna get like fifteen

673
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: to twenty touches the game, and I think he had

674
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 1: fifteen for the entire season. That is a former top

675
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: ten overall pick. Tavon Austin, who and still one of

676
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: the most shocking moments in Hard Knocks history, got a

677
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: fat contract extension h during that Hard Knocks season. I

678
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: can't believe Jeff's Fisher and all Jeff Fisher Diden survived.

679
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: I can't believe less Sneed survived that contract. Well West

680
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: Sneed friend of the show. But I will say there

681
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: are a couple of contracts out there in Ramsy. That's

682
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: not how I operate. Mark. He got a call it

683
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: as you see it, you know, we don't. We could

684
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: talk about friends all day on this show. I mean,

685
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: we've just we've just put like a wreath of flowers

686
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: on Greg William's head. So I don't buy a word

687
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: of it. I mean, it's all about what works for today.

688
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 1: I did not put a wreath of flowers on Greg

689
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: Williams head. Times you have since last offseason. He's a good,

690
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: divisive coordinator and the best Browns coach of all time. Well,

691
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: I see what you're trying to do, but I you know,

692
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to fall for it this time.

693
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: He's the best coach on the Jets staff, which means

694
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: they're totally disorganized. It's fine, they'll be fine. Twelve and

695
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: four Shock the World Baby, Alright, alright, be again. We
