1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast predicted this would happen. Welcome

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: to another dishow of the Around the NFL Podcast. My

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: name is Dan Janzas. I'm coming to you from a

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: city filled with heroes in Bugger, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling,

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: Greg Rose withal What is up boys? Hey Dan? Oh,

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: Happy Monday. Monday. I love Mondays. I mean, I you

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: know what, I I'm sensing a little bit in my

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: own life that that special feeling you get on a Monday, um,

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: slightly disoriented, uh, not really wanting to awaken or get

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: out of bed. Um. I had that feeling this morning.

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: It kind of was a feeling of normalcy. M hm hm,

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: nice rainy day here in l A, which I like,

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, as a little uh little change of pace.

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: It does feel like, you know, this is I do

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: not feel like I'm losing track of days because of

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: our schedule and we're writing during the week two and

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: because of the shows, and we got the Friday show,

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: which is kind of you know, can exhale after. I

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: feel like we're we're we're kind of in the flow here.

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: We're in a we're in some sort of normality, which

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: is not a bad thing. You think so. I mean,

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 1: I never know where the weekends go. I don't even

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: remember what I did with my weekend. Maybe it's probably

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: because of the kids too. That schedule is so different

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: on the weekends because they don't have homeschooling, so suddenly

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't really have you know, we don't have shows,

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: we don't have homeschooling, so it's it's way more free time. Yeah,

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: I feel like would be satisfied if a nuclear bomb

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: landed in his front yard, but I I do not.

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: I feel slightly disenchanted with all things right now, and uh,

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: I really need that different a normal may you know,

32
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: like that's that's just how it goes. Sometimes I think

33
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: the reason the reasons are a little different. Yes, Lakisha

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: had a Sessler Westley Chris that the baby was coming

35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: this weekend, but the fact that you're sitting here with

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: us tells me that didn't happen. Well, she's moved the

37
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: goalpost a little bit on that one. She said that

38
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: that was more of wishful thinking, and now the baby

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: cannot come Tuesday because she does not want him to

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: steal away attention from our wedding anniversary. That was on

41
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: the nine team so he's gotta come Wednesday or Thursday,

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: but she thinks definitely this week. I think you're gonna

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: learn real quick that children don't do everything that you

44
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: want all the time. And this may be the first

45
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: strike of rebellion if he showed up right on that date.

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: He's getting aggressive because she's twelve days out from the

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: actual do date. So she's she's feeling some motherly intuition

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: and you don't want to mess with that. Well, I don't.

49
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: Also something something that gets increasingly marginalized as a married

50
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: couple once kids into the fray, is your anniversary date.

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you're in the middle of seven things.

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we got married seven years ago today.

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: That's cool. First your experience on this one. But she

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: claims that she is so large and and uh so

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: awkward right now that the baby just needs to come out.

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: You gotta go. Yeah, I gotta get it. Been there,

57
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: uh hanging there, Lakisha. The payoff will be marvelous when

58
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Kalidas Wesling enters the world. We are still looking for

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: a name. Still looking for a name. Hit up West

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: on Twitter with suggestions, maybe you will name the child.

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: It has to be a good one though, no jokes,

62
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: no bits. All right, today's show got a lot to

63
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: get to Monday show. There's news to hit. Also, we

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: are going to do a bit of a deep dive

65
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: here on the curious case of Cam Newton, the former

66
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: m v P and still unrestricted free agent, a man

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: looking for work, a man who no doubt is chomping

68
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: at the bit to find a new team and start

69
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: over after the Panthers opted to cut ties with him. Well,

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna open up the swing, open the courtroom doors,

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: and really break down the teams that make the most

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: sense for Cam Newton and both sides of the case

73
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: why they should be these teams employing a quarterback with

74
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: Newton's potential and history, and also the flip side, the

75
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: defense why these teams have stayed away. So that's that's

76
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: coming up. Also at the end of the show. Oh yes,

77
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: we're Spinning the Wheel, our new series where we go

78
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: team by team or as long as this goes who knows,

79
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: every Wednesday or every Wednesday ish, we will do a

80
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: deep dive on one team and it is completely at random.

81
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna spin a wheel. Ricky worked with our behind

82
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: the scenes team at NFL Media to create a completely rammed,

83
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: randomized wheel and the team that it lands on will

84
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: be the team we discuss in depth on Wednesday. We'll

85
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: get to more of that, uh in a bit, but

86
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: before that, let's do some news. I would like to

87
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: see Brady with a big glass of whiskey, right, Mark,

88
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: That would be good, just telling the truth. Yes, shiver

89
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: my timbers. I mean, if there's never a reason to

90
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: watch the NFL Network version of Around the NFL broadcast,

91
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: it is to hear those gems from Mark Sessler. Mark,

92
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: take us through the thought problem. Shiver my timbers. There.

93
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: I think it was a lack of thoughts. I thought

94
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: at that point, you know, hey, the show is rapping.

95
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Um Dan's gonna take us to break our show. You know,

96
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: our weekend begins at that point. Essentially we know how

97
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: that feeling is on on Friday, and some you threw

98
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: it to me and I gave you that um non

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: gim ever my timbers. I don't think I've heard that

100
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: phrase since watching Popeye as a child. I don't know

101
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: what shiver me timbers, but I didn't really I wasn't

102
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: sure what that that meant, especially in the context of

103
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: how Dan threw it to you, but I enjoyed. Ever

104
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: have to apologize to all three of you. Let me

105
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: timbers meaning it's an exclamation in the form of a

106
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: mock oath, usually attributed to the speech of pirates. In

107
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: works of fiction, it is employed as a literary device

108
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: by authors to express shock, surprise, or annoyance. I mean

109
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: it made sense then in the context maybe ever my timbers,

110
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: what what are one? What are ones? Timbers? Right? That

111
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: that's the part I don't have nailed it. They pants.

112
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: I don't know forever if I always though, I was

113
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: just like, I'm so scared, I'm shaking in my boots

114
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: from that. But that's how I just kind of heard

115
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: it my life, and I never knew what it meant

116
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: it was. Maybe the delivery was confusing too, like he

117
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: didn't sound like two shocked. She truly caught off guard.

118
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: It was a huge selling point for the show to

119
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: the people up on the third floor or or their

120
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: empty offices up on the third floor. We want people

121
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: quick on their feet. Look at Mark Cesler, perfect example,

122
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: drops the pirate phrase from four and fifty years ago.

123
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: That's what we're looking for, all right. Let's get into

124
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: it um perhaps progress. I woke up this morning and

125
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: had a New York Times alert on my phone that

126
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're rolling out some vaccine testing in

127
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: this COVID nineteen world. And who knows, maybe that becomes

128
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: a huge story and a life saving scenario for all

129
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: of us, or maybe it's nothing. Uh. And in the NFL,

130
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: some more potential optimism. A memo sent to teams for

131
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: a path to reopening team facilities. It's been laid out

132
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: to all thirty two teams. Roger Goodell sent it out Wednesday,

133
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: which includes consent from state government officials, establishment of a

134
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: club infection response team, social distancing, and other measures. This

135
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,119
Speaker 1: is from Tom Pallisero, who reported it late last week.

136
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: All club facilities have been closed since March, as we

137
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: all know, and now we have an outline of protocols

138
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: and procedures on the path towards opening them back up

139
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: and greg for anything to happen in in terms of

140
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: a season, whether it's a full season or a truncated season,

141
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: these buildings have to open. So if they can get

142
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: that done, it's a big step in the right direction.

143
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: It's a start. It's not a huge deal. I don't

144
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: think because it's just medical personnel, you know, it's not coaches.

145
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: It's just rehabbing in players until coaches can until coaches

146
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: can get into the building. In every state they're not

147
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: gonna let any coaches into the building. And we'll see

148
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: if that takes us through the end of what would

149
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: have been O T A S and mini camps or not,

150
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: which would be the end of June. But even in California,

151
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, everyone was freaked out about the stay at

152
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: home order, you know, kind of being extended. But the

153
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: governor and and and the mayor of Los Angeles are

154
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: opening up different parts of the city daily almost and

155
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: and the governor says, you know, some sporting events can

156
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: be back, you know, in June. And frankly, they already

157
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: are happening, whether he's allowing it or not. Santa Anita

158
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: has been racing uh down in in San Diego County,

159
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: So we're seeing some pretty good progress at least that

160
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: there's hope that camps could open on time. I think

161
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: that's what everyone's hoping for. I would guess. I don't.

162
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what to trust anymore, I don't know

163
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: what information to trust. I don't know what people to trust. Uh,

164
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: it seems like one day deaths continue to rise, and

165
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: then the next day everything's opening up and nobody's worried

166
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: about a second wave or a third wave. Um, so

167
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm just taking this as a fluid situation and who

168
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: knows what will happen. I'm very much with us. I mean,

169
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: you can get drawn into the latest narrative, but then

170
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: it seems to to flip by the next morning's news cycle.

171
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: And Uh. At the same side, I mean, getting people

172
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: into rehab and stuff is an important step. We weren't

173
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: there two weeks ago, and there's a cast of characters

174
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: that need legit, like Team medical help, and so I

175
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: think that in terms of long term preparation that matters. Um.

176
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: But you know, I think with this whole thing that

177
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: we're seeing the tick of human nature where you've got

178
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: groups of people saying we've beaten this, but a virus

179
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: doesn't really care about what people want to say. Um,

180
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, through microphones and stuff, it's like, we have

181
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: no idea what the future is. So it's very much

182
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: a wait and see, And it feels a lot more

183
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: probable that they're gonna play games now though than it

184
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: did a month ago. In other news, this is a

185
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: potential huge deal in the NFL. The league is came

186
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: from Jim Trotter, who reported it on Friday. The NFL

187
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: is proposing a plan to incentivize minority hiring that could

188
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: could include an improvement in draft positioning. Trotter said the

189
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: league will present a pair of resolutions at tomorrow's virtual

190
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: meeting to try to create more movement. This comes after

191
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: an offseason's hiring cycle where there were very um There

192
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: were many job openings, but again a few minority hires

193
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: were made, both at the head coach and um management level.

194
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: The first resolution would remove the barrier that prevents assistance

195
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: under contract with the team to interview for a real

196
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: coordinator job with another team, with Goodell reserving the right

197
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: to determine if it's an actual coordinator role. And then

198
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: the big one, the one that everyone's talking about. A

199
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: team that hires a minority head coach would move up

200
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: six spots in the third round to the following year's draft,

201
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: and hiring a minority for the top personnel job would

202
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: create a ten spot improvement, so you can move up

203
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: your draft order and UM West this is like I said,

204
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: coming off an offseason where they're just not seeing the

205
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: gains that they they want and need in evening the

206
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: scales here and the Rooney Rule obviously, which was put

207
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: into effects some time ago, was designed to help minority

208
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: coaches get jobs, but it's not working in the way

209
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: they intended, so they're thinking of ramping it up. Your thoughts, well,

210
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: sometimes in sports it's instructive to take a step back

211
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: and think like somebody who has not been following sports

212
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: your entire life. And when you look at the NFL

213
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: and you see on the field it's almost all black players,

214
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: and then you see on the sidelines it's almost all

215
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: white coaches, and the g m s are almost all white.

216
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: There's just something incongruous there that doesn't make much sense.

217
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: And the current plan, which seems to be let Bruce

218
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: arians handle all of this, doesn't work. Um, So I'm

219
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: not surprised that they went back to the drawing board.

220
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: My question is for such a small move up the

221
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: draft board, and it is a tiny move up the

222
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: draft board, is it worth the stigma that's going to

223
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: be attached to a coach or GM who's hired in

224
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: this fashion. I think it's an interesting idea. You know,

225
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people I think shot it down without

226
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: really having any better ideas. Like I think it's a

227
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: it's such a problem that trying new ideas make sense,

228
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's what they're going to But I

229
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: thought the same thing wes um less about the stigma.

230
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if that would be a concern, although

231
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: there's certainly a segment of the fan base that that

232
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: would probably put a segma on it, And maybe that's

233
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: what you're talking about and more of that. Is it

234
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: really a that huge of an incentive, I mean, is

235
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: that really gonna yeah, like they're gonna try to get

236
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: every interview possible. It seems like fixing the problem on

237
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: the core level of like growing young black and you know,

238
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: people of color coaches is the bigger issue. It doesn't

239
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: seem like a big move in the draft. I don't

240
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: know that. It's just like people are willing to throw

241
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: away those sort of moves for anything in the middle

242
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: of the draft. It just doesn't seem like that huge

243
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: and incentive to me, whereas the most of the criticism

244
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: seemed to be this is given away way too much.

245
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: But I just didn't understand that I feel like we

246
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: all get a sense when you go through these annual

247
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: UM firings where there's a you know, a flood of

248
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: interviews for each team, and I feel where the insult

249
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: seems to lie a little bit is when you can

250
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: tell that team, a, we already know they want to

251
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: hire this big name, but then they have to bring

252
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: in a minority candidate to do basically a token interview,

253
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: where I would imagine in some cases we've seen it

254
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: turned down because that candidate knows they're not a serious

255
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: candidate for the job. And so the current incentives, the

256
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: current plan is not working. I mean, they the NFL

257
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: each year has a racial and gender report card and

258
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: it was the lowest this past year that it's been

259
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: in fifteen years. And that's that's kind of shocking. And

260
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, Lewis Riddick to your point, though West made

261
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: a made you know, he he had an interview too,

262
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: and he's he's someone that's been looked at as a

263
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: GM candidate, but he kind of looked at this this

264
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: proposition and said, I get it. I think we all

265
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: get it. But what happens if you get that job

266
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: based off of what seems like on incentivized program and

267
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: then you become a GM, and what do people around

268
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: that team do they think that you're you want to

269
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: be seen as someone that earned it. And I think

270
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: that it can it can affect that a little bit.

271
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: But for a while, I don't know what else to

272
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: do because it is a critical issue in the league.

273
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,479
Speaker 1: And there are two gms right now that are minorities,

274
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: and there are only four coaches, and one of them

275
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: is Ron Rivera, who has been around forever. And you

276
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: look at the QB coaches and the coordinator roles and

277
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: there's not enough to Greg's point um growing people into

278
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: those positions, and that's probably where it starts. Another one

279
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: of those minority coaches is Anthony Lynn of the Chargers.

280
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: He spoke to CBA Sports Radio and he was critical

281
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: of the plan. He said, I think sometimes you can

282
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: do the wrong thing while trying to do the right thing.

283
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: I think this is out of desperation. This is something

284
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: that we're throwing out there, but it is what it is.

285
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: You can't make people hire someone they won't don't want

286
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: to hire for whatever reason. So we'll see, uh, if

287
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: this is something that moves forward or if it it

288
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: stops right where it is as a proposal, and they

289
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: come up with maybe something else. But it does seem

290
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: like there will be more changes and and more help

291
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: for these minority candidates down the line. We'll see if

292
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: this is the plan that ends up being used. In

293
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: other news, bad news around the Giants and Seahawks in

294
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: the legal realm, Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker, who the team

295
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: took in the first round last year, and Seahawks cornerback

296
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: Quentin Dunbar both turned themselves into the Broward County jail

297
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: on Saturday, uh to satisfy a rest warrants in connection

298
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: with an alleged robbery in Miramar, Florida last week. Uh.

299
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: This is heavy duty stuff. There were guns involved, lots

300
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: of money and good stolen, and both players are in

301
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: the center of it. DeAndre Baker has been told by

302
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: the team, the Giants, to stay away from team activities

303
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: right now, the virtual meetings, and it seems like a

304
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: situation that could you know, last well into the season

305
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: potentially and uh, some real legal consequences in uh the offing.

306
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: Potentially tough situation here. Yeah, Baker was a first round

307
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: pick of Dave Gettlman, and he struggled for most of

308
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: the last year, and he fell in the draft, you know,

309
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: because there were, you know, some concerns coming out of

310
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: school about his focus and off the field and and

311
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: all that. And now he's in a situation where it's

312
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: pretty clear reading the you know, you can just look

313
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: at his bond. He had to pay two thousand dollars

314
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: to get out of jail. Dunbar was half as much.

315
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: Dunbar's lawyer at least swears up and down that everyone

316
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: has recanted that he was there in the first place,

317
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: and he might have an easier legal route out of this.

318
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: We'll see, who knows, um, But Baker Baker struggled so bad,

319
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: and it's such a serious claim. Who know, like if

320
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: you told me he's never remember the giants again, Like

321
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: it's it seems like it's at that level. But it's

322
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: hard to guess where we're legal cases they're gonna go.

323
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: We're in a weird spot where really the only punishment

324
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: they could lay on him was you're not invited to

325
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: the Zoom meeting um this week, Uh, positionally, And I mean,

326
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, we're at the point where we're all in

327
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: have been on I think now it's not cool to

328
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: do zoom meetings with your friends. What we're post zoomed, right,

329
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: it's it's become tired and all that. But I mean,

330
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: I imagine there's a few jabronies out there that after

331
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: a couple of zoom calls with old friends, they said,

332
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: let's not invite um Robbie back next time. And I

333
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: think that's just Baker just got he got zoomed out

334
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: of there. Well running around with the guns. I just

335
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: did the projected starters for NFC's The Giants have maybe

336
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: the worst cornerback group in the in the league, or

337
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: one of them. Anyways, if they had Baker, you know,

338
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: they have James bad Berry, Baker and Sam Bill and

339
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: nothing behind those three. And Baker and Beal struggled in

340
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: our second year players. So it's like the whether whether

341
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, whatever happens with this legal case. This is

342
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: a major problem for Gettleman, who kind of invested in

343
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: Baker as a as a key part of their future. Unfortunately,

344
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: Baker is not the only former first round pick from

345
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen to run a foul of the law

346
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: over the last past few days. Bills defensive tackle Ed

347
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: Oliver arrested on drunk driving charges in Houston over the weekend.

348
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: Uh He was found allegedly with a beer between his legs.

349
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: They searched his car, a gun turns up, So this

350
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: could lead to a suspension, perhaps a beefy one for Oliver,

351
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: who's coming off a promising West rookie year in Buffalo.

352
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Now it's just been complicated a bit. Yeah, similar to Baker.

353
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: There were questions about Oliver's character coming out of college.

354
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: Um and to me, like, I'm afraid to go to

355
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: the grocery store. How are these people partying and committing

356
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: crimes in the middle of a pandemic. I don't know

357
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: what's going on acting stupid beings. I mean, I think

358
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: there's like we always hear there's two America's. I think

359
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: there might be another division whereas people over forty and

360
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 1: people under forty. The way they're treating the pandemic, well,

361
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: I also think where the at least the Baker incident

362
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: happened in Florida. It's a different world in Florida right

363
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: now that it is in California. And that comes from

364
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: the leadership you know above that whether it's the governor

365
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: or the local mayors or everything. It's a different world

366
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: down there in Miami Beach right now, go ahead, no, God,

367
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: I will, I'll go now. I just was thinking, like,

368
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, you can include Erica in this. What would

369
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: would if we had to over the next week, UM

370
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: organized it collecting you know, a large enough arsenal of

371
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: guns and pull off a bank robbery. What would our

372
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: chance zero to one polling that off successfully. We're not

373
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: unintelligent individuals, I think for the most part, but we

374
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: have no experience in at realm? Would we just would

375
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: do we even know how to get guns if we

376
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: needed to? Am I allowed to even ask this question?

377
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't walk across the street from the NFL network

378
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: offices right see, But that that lines out the door

379
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: when the pandemic started. That's not the way we think.

380
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: There's another crowd of people that are thinking, I must

381
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: get guns immediately, and maybe so you want to go

382
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: underground to find some illegal firearms before we rob a bank. Well,

383
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to go and empty handed two into

384
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: the you know the north. I mean you gotta roll

385
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: into the dream scenario. Are female assassins have evolved taking

386
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: you out at the end of it? Well, we have

387
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: Erica attached to us. I wouldn't put that, but we'd

388
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: all be in new categories. So I mean there there

389
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: was a successful bank robbery right across the street from

390
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: Ellis's elementary school in the fall, like straight up old

391
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: school that the kids the neighborhood total lockdown was. She

392
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: said it was her favorite day of school all year.

393
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: They just watched movies all day, um and they got

394
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: wait with it old school. So it still happens sometimes.

395
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: I had a friendly worked at a bank and he

396
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: said that a lot of people try to rob banks

397
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: on Friday because you think that people. Yeah, but Monday

398
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: is the day to rob the bank because that's when

399
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: the Brinks trucks come with all the money for the week.

400
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: Here we are just say, if you want to know,

401
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: Monday is the day. I would say, this is how

402
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: to do because I've watched a ton of real crime programs,

403
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: including one recently that profiled a collection of bank robbers

404
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: that were successful over a long stretch. In fact, they

405
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: robbed the same bank at three or four times over

406
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: a eighteen month stretch. I believe you don't want to

407
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: do it l A. There's there's too many police forces

408
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: in l a that you know, there's there's just too

409
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: much heat around here. Uh. In fact, there's a world famous,

410
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: like all time bank robbery here in l A that

411
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: involved the massive shootout with swat and all this stuff.

412
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: We got to get out to a countryside. We gotta

413
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: get out to a a po dunk town and hit

414
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: that one one that's not prepared, that doesn't have the

415
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: police force, and it has to be coordinated. There has

416
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: to be a getaway driver. There has to be all

417
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: sorts of knowledge of the inside inner workings of the bank.

418
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's that goes without saying steepy Ham and

419
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: egger Town. We just ride in, we strike at eight am,

420
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: and we're out by eight thirty with you know, seven

421
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand dollars each or or throw a zero

422
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: on that and jewelry. We've got a big problem here.

423
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: Who among us is the muscle technology technology, who has

424
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: handled a gun at any point in their lives? Well,

425
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: I think my question gun range. My my guests would

426
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: be Greg. Greg will be the guy, the trigger man.

427
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: We're not going to hurt anybody. Written A motorcycle bank

428
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: easier I come from. No, A motorcycle is the easiest

429
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: way to go through the drive through and or to

430
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: get quick enough. Another bank that my friend worked at.

431
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: You know, they do bank robbery training when you work

432
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: at the banks, and they say that motorcycles are way

433
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: harder to catch. I call sidecar. I mean I like

434
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: that mentioned were each getting seven that I mean I

435
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: need a little more to risk it all, you know,

436
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: than seven. Well, but you learn on the small banks

437
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: and they only have so much in the coffers, and

438
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: then we'll then we then we'll strike big in like Seattle.

439
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: Two other things, to be wary of the silent alarm

440
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: that is right underneath the um the counter where the

441
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: teller is. Got to make sure that person doesn't compromise it.

442
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: And also they put the paintball thing in the bags

443
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: of money. They explode and then the money is both

444
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: traceable and worthless. So just just a lot of stuff.

445
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: We want to do this. We've gotta take it off pod.

446
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: We don't need a gun. You just hand him a note,

447
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: tell him to keep quiet, and hand over the money. Um,

448
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: all right, that's what's happening in the news. There's a

449
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 1: couple more things, but we we kind of ate up

450
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: the time with the bank robbery talk. Well, sorry that

451
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: that shook out. It will Todd Gurley be healthy for

452
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: the Falcons out of the rundown? We have no answers

453
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: to that question. It is perhaps notable that Derk Cutter

454
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: is openly wondering if Todd Gurley is healthy after taking

455
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: him on. That's a bit interesting seeing the quiet part

456
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: out loud. I mean Todd Gurleys was for we'll move on,

457
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: but yeah, he was fourth in the league and snaps

458
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: back to back years. People honking a lot about a

459
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: guy who plays a lot. It just hasn't been that good.

460
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: M That's fair, all right, let's move on. It's time

461
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: to get into it. It is the curious case of

462
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: the m v P quarterback and the invisible team. And

463
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna go through for NFL franchises who have been

464
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: linked to Cam Newton, the Great Cam Newton, the unemployed

465
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. And this is how we'll do it. Um.

466
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: One of us will be the plaintiff. One of us

467
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: will be the defendant for each of the four cases. Okay,

468
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: I'll do a little double duty as a judge if

469
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: I need to keep things under control and the judge

470
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: Wattner role. But I'm gonna try to stay out of

471
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: the way as the judge and let the plaintiff and

472
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: the defendant do what they have to do. Ricky, Um,

473
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 1: none of this pop culture is ephemera, is connecting with you,

474
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but you would be the Doug Llewell and hypothetically,

475
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: hypothetically who's kind of just in the studio talking low

476
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: into a microphone. Um, I'll let you know if we

477
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: need you for that. You've got Doug Noellen vibes, though

478
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: I feel it. I'm sure that's an insult. Um, but

479
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: you Yeah, he was Doug a little well and was

480
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: not the muscle of the people's court anyway. All right,

481
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: let us get into it real quick, Ricky, whoa the verdict?

482
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: Are you guilty of lazy cliche thinking, shrinking from the

483
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: challenge of giving your organization the best chance to win?

484
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: Guilty or not guilty? All right? I like that. See

485
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: West just amped up the stakes considerably. Hit it, Ricky.

486
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos up first. This is the plaintiff, me Dan

487
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: hands us. He contends that the Denver Broncos are making

488
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: a huge mistake by ignoring a major need at quarterback.

489
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: He's suing for franchise negligence and emotional abuse on the

490
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: fan base. This is the defendant, Chris Westling. He believes

491
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos and John l a are right to

492
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: throw their support behind Drew Lock, a promising second year

493
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: passer who guided the team to four wins in the

494
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: final five games of the season. M let's get into it.

495
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: What you are witnessing is real. The participants are not actors.

496
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: They are actual litigants with a case bending in a

497
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: California immuniss of bold court. Both parties have agreed to

498
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: dismiss their court cases and have their dispute settled here

499
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: in our forum, Popold's court. All right, let's get into it.

500
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: The plaintiff speaks first. That's me. Listen, Wes, I know,

501
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: I know the Broncos there, that's your team there, your boys,

502
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: and I and I get that John Elway is a

503
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: man that inspires confidence, even if he's had swings and misses,

504
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: and he's even promised us he's got a lot more

505
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: swings and mrs in it before they send him packing.

506
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: But as I've said on this pod many times before,

507
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: now in this off season, it's seems very strange to

508
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: use a five game sample from Drew Lock and then

509
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: build a playoff caliber roster all around this young former

510
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: second round pick, and then just say he's the guy

511
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: because you want him to be the guy. And I'll

512
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: tell you what I did, West, and you'll be proud

513
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: of me for this. I went back and I watched

514
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: those drew Locks starts because I've been getting so many

515
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: I've been getting killed by Broncos Twitter, and I watched

516
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: those drew Lock starts and I came away largely man

517
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: about the whole thing. I think he averaged about six

518
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: and a half yards per attempt. He showed good mobility,

519
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: uh in an ability to keep plays alive. He's got

520
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: a nice arm, but he also a lot of bone

521
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: headed mistakes. Of course, he's a rookie and that is

522
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: to be expected, but that was something that was the

523
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: m O on him going back to college, that he's

524
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: a guy that made a lot of bad decisions. And

525
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: it just seems ridiculous to me that Drew Lock and

526
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: then a couple of Hammond Eggers beneath him on the

527
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: depth chart. All due respect to I believe Jeff Driscoll

528
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: and somebody who's worse than Jeff Driscoll that with Cam

529
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: Newton sitting out there and and otherwise playoff ready roster

530
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't seriously consider slash go through with bringing

531
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: in Cam and giving yourself that safety net. Arrest of

532
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: my case, watch well out of order. Let me first

533
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: date that Cam Newton is not a backup quarterback. He's

534
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback in the NFL, and it makes no

535
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: sense for a team with a two thousand nineteen draft

536
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: pick to bring him in as an underminey force. He

537
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: makes sense more with an established quarterback who might be

538
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: injury prone and you need a hack high caliber backup

539
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: there in case of emergency. Drew Lock was the top

540
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: quarterback on our board in two thousand nineteen, above Kyler Murray.

541
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: We almost picked him in the first round. We traded

542
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: up to get him in the second. We like him,

543
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: we like his college tape, and anyone who doubts he

544
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: has what it takes to be a long term starter

545
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: in Denver should go Rewatch the Texans game over and

546
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: over again. Aggressive downfield, tight window, throws outside the numbers,

547
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: throws his tight end open for a TV, made plays

548
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: late in the down through improvisation. One of the hardest

549
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to sack through his five starts in the entire league.

550
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: We've surrounded this guy with the talent he needs to

551
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: succeed because we believe he is a first round quarterback

552
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: who just happened to fall to the second round. And

553
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: you want the truth, I'll level with you. All of

554
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: us in the a f C West are the Bill

555
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: Pollion coolts. If the starter goes down, we're screwed. The

556
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs are head and shoulders above the rest of the division.

557
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: If we lose Drew Lock, we're not winning the division.

558
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: So why why bother undermining his confidence or confuse the

559
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: team about who our quarterback is when we know if

560
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: he gets injured, we're just not winning the DIVI is

561
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: what kind of way is that to to run a

562
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: football team? Then oh we're done? He had this guy

563
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: has to be a star. Or why what are we

564
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: even doing here? Your job as a team builder, John?

565
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: Am I talking to John Elway? Or am I talking

566
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: to West talking to John Elway? Okay? John? Uh? If

567
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: very good? If if my job as a team builder

568
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: is to make sure this team stays afloat, that I

569
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: have them fully prepared, that I'm giving my head coach

570
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: the best opportunity to win. I owe it to the

571
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: fans and the team to build a roster where we're

572
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: not shipwrecked. If a second round pick who had a

573
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: question marks all around him coming into the league, uh,

574
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: doesn't become the star. I mean they you can't leave

575
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: the cupboard bear behind Drew Lock. You just it's just

576
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: irresponsible and John Elway and John I don't mean I

577
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: want to be disrespectful, but like you stink at this

578
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: You've been You've proven time and time ago. I'll court

579
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: ordering the court that was disrespectful. Um, I'm sorry, I

580
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: withdraw that. But there's been a lot of evidence pointing

581
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: to the fact that you do not know what you're

582
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: doing at the quarterback position. A lot of irony. They're

583
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: giving your background as a quarterback, but it's the truth.

584
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: How why should I give you the benefit the doubt?

585
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: That's my closing comments. Well, I'm not gonna take this personally.

586
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: You raise a good point. My job is to give

587
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: this team the best chance to win. And people like

588
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: you you have the luxury of thinking like a fan.

589
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: I have to think like a general manager. My job

590
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: is to put Drew Lock in the best position to succeed.

591
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: And that's responsibility. I have to an organization, to an

592
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: ownership group, to my fans. The guy who I believe

593
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: has what it takes to succeed, I cannot undermine him.

594
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: I have to give this franchise the best chance, and

595
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: to me, the best chance is to make sure Drew

596
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: Locks this is a successful quarterback. And this is turning

597
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: into the O J trial. Let's get to a verdict here. Hey, hey, hey,

598
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: we don't need anything from the galley anohing from the

599
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: peanut gallery. All right, uh, Greg Rosenthal, you're in the

600
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: judge Wapner role here. What is your verdict? Oh I uh,

601
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: my decision resides with the prosecution. John Away, You're guilty.

602
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. Next case. This is the plaintiff,

603
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal. He believes the Washington Redskins have numerous reasons

604
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: to believe Dwayne Haskins is not the long term answer

605
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: quarterback and they cannot pass on the opportunity to bring

606
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: a former m VP into the building. He is suing

607
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: for lack of organizational commons sense. This is the defendant,

608
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler. He believes Dwayne Haskins never received a fair

609
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: shake in his first season and that the former first

610
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: round pick deserves more time to reach his potential in

611
00:33:55,080 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: our league. Well, I get that everyone wants to just

612
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: shove Cam Newton onto any team in the league at

613
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: this point and tell everyone how great that would be. Um.

614
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: And it does fit for a bunch of teams, I think,

615
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: and I see why it would. It does not fit

616
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: for our Washington Redskins. And I'm gonna tell you why

617
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: right now. Uh. We have Ron Rivera in the building,

618
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: we have Scott Turner in the building. And while you

619
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: can pitch the argument that these guys have worked with

620
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: Cam and no him, they also had a chance and

621
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: still have a chance to go get Cam Newton or

622
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: make it clear to Cam Newton that they they are interested.

623
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: And there has not been so much as a quiet

624
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: fart on that front, not a whisper. There's no interest order,

625
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: order of course accepted in the courtroom. I am sorry,

626
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: your honor, but I I believe in the point that

627
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: the Redskins have a belief that Dwayne Haskins was not

628
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: given the same type of chance that other first round

629
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks were given. Last year, you had Bill Callahan had

630
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: to take over a team, and you know, with all

631
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: due respect to what Bill Callahan did. You're not gonna

632
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: get a good look at a rookie quarterback and a

633
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: frazzled offense that wants to run the ball fifty times

634
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: a game and close out contests in two hours and

635
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: three minutes. He needs more time, he needs better coaching.

636
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: And it's basically you're tangling narratives and you want to

637
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: talk about the Redskins is disorganized. It's go draft the

638
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: first round quarterback that you can't really even argue has

639
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: had a fair shake, and then go bring in a

640
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: veteran that's gonna completely disrupt his development and on a

641
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: non win now team, not even a great situation for

642
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Frankly, you're gonna have fans calling for Cam

643
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: Newton to displace Haskins immediately or as soon as the

644
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: team um encounters trouble, which will be about eight minutes

645
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: into the first quarter of Week one, and then you're

646
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: that's the team. You're gonna be dealing with, total chaos.

647
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: And that's what Ron Rivera was brought there to neutralize that.

648
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: You don't bring in Cam Newton. I mean, you start

649
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: listening to these fans, you'll be one of them. I

650
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: mean the Redskins have been listening to their fans and

651
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: making emotional decisions for two until you have a quarterback,

652
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: just keep bringing them in. Don't worry about it. The

653
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: only good decision the Redskins ever made at quarterback really

654
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: over the last few years was draft and Kirk Cousins

655
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: in the same draft as Robert Griffin. The third you

656
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: get to you don't worry about the fans saying, oh

657
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: that's a bad pick. You know, we don't, we don't

658
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: need him here. You just you just see what happens.

659
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: And in in terms of like wait until next year,

660
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean this organization, they've been waiting until next year forever.

661
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: We got an adult in the building, Ron Rivera, let's

662
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: just start getting classy. I love when this show evaluates

663
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks after one season because about that. I like Dwayne

664
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: Haskins more than than any um. I think of of

665
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: the four of us uh in this courtroom. Then if

666
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: he's the guy that we think he can be, then

667
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: he'll go be great in this offense. He'll he'll show

668
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: a lot of promise and he'll win that job. It

669
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: can't hurt to have two quarterbacks. I've heard Judge Wesling

670
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: your your final thoughts, your honor. Vertically, I find the

671
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: Redskins guilty of lazy clich thinking and also thinking that

672
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen's a better quarterback than Cam Newton. Give me

673
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: a break with that one. They thought it last year

674
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: down the stretch, and they think it again this year. Sorry, guilty,

675
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: Let's move on. This is the plane if Mark Zessler

676
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: back for another go around. He believes the Pittsburgh Steelers

677
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 1: are showing far too much faith in Ben Roethlisberger, thirty

678
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: eight year old quarterback coming off reconstructive elbow surgery. He's

679
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: suing for franchise negligence and abuse of blind faith. This

680
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: is the defendant, the old juser. He believes that Big

681
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: Ben is shown progress in his recovery from surgery and

682
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: deserves the benefit of the doubt for sustained greatness over

683
00:37:51,640 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame career. Mr. Sessler, this one's pretty

684
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 1: simple to me. It's not an argument of Cam Newton

685
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: is better than Big Ben or offers more than Big Ben.

686
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: But this is a team that, even last year, with

687
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: Big Ben out of the lineup and a rash of

688
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: other injuries, was still knocking on the playoff door. A

689
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: couple with a couple of weeks to go in the season,

690
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: and if you're Cam Newton, you want to go somewhere where,

691
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: let's be honest, you are not a starter at this

692
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: point in terms of most teams bringing you in. You

693
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: want to go to a quality organization where you have

694
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 1: a chance to basically show the league once again, here's

695
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: who I am. In a year from now, I will

696
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: be starting elsewhere. And I think that this, to me

697
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: has a little bit of a Teddy Bridgewater to the

698
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: Saints type vibe to it, where Cam Newton is probably

699
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance to play two or three very

700
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: critical games for the Steelers in place a big bend

701
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 1: just based on history. That's a roll of the dice

702
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: um and if he does, he's in an offense that

703
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: can sing right away. You're not dealing with a bottom

704
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: five scenario there. Cam Newton could come in to be

705
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: very productive, being immediate fan favorite. The defense is a

706
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl defense, and you can trust Mike Tomlin to

707
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: do right by you. And while I don't like the

708
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: idea of Cam Newton going and having to blow up

709
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: a young rookie starter who a team believes in UM,

710
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: I do like this as a Super Bowl window operation.

711
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: They certainly see themselves that way, even if maybe some

712
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: do not um a playoff contender getting stronger at quarterback.

713
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: We they have nothing behind big Ben that I trust

714
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: at this point. It blew up their season a year ago.

715
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: I think it's a great situation for the players around him.

716
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: If big Ben goes down and look Cam Newton maybe

717
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: someone you could use in that offense alongside big Ben.

718
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: And I would say this as a final note, we

719
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: need to see what big Ben is and if there's

720
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: any reason he's six percent of Big Ben or his

721
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: beard is weighing him down too much. I know he

722
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: got a trim, he looks looks real sharp right now,

723
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: But big Ben injuries have sidelined this team too many

724
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: times over the course of his long and celebrated run

725
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cam Newton makes a lot of sense.

726
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: We need to start looking at Ben Roethlisberger as a

727
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: different case here. This is not Drew Lock, this is

728
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: not Dwayne Haskins. This is a guy that has been

729
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: a star for a long time. So the idea of

730
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: bringing in Cam Newton would create a circus. You can

731
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: have Ben Roethlisberger and Cam Newton on the same roster together.

732
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: It is not a situation that's gonna do anything but

733
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: turn the Steelers into a circus. That's not what this

734
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 1: organization is about. They don't do things that way. They

735
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: do not bring Tin Tebow in. They don't do uh

736
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: circus type maneuvers at a desperation. And I think the

737
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: way here is to look at what Big Ben is

738
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 1: doing and his workouts and his rehabs and what we're seeing,

739
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: uh that he just released a video, uh that he's

740
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. He looks good. He looked you know,

741
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: he looked a little bulbous. I'm gonna be fair. It's

742
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: a little heavier last time at the at the end

743
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: of last season. But you see him throwing and working

744
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: out uh this past week, and he looks like Big

745
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: Ben to me and now to calm any other and

746
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: alleviate any other fears, Mark, he is trimming the beard

747
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: back and so you don't have that scary mountain man

748
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 1: vibe to him, like a guy that's lost all grip

749
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: with society and he's gonna go Ted Kazinski in a

750
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: cabin somewhere. This man is ready to play football and

751
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: play at a high level, and I don't need Cam

752
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: Newton coming in here and mucking up the whole situation.

753
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: No disrespect to the former heavy pick. All right, well,

754
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: god speed with your bulbous quarterback, formerly bulbous, temporarily bulbous.

755
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: Can I tag in here as Christopher Darten? What is

756
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: this circus talk? How is this any different than Drew

757
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: Brees and Jamis Winston? You make it clear that Cam

758
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: Newton's the backup, he's an upgrade on Mason Rudolph, and

759
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: then you fly Drew Brees, Drew Brees. It is not

760
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: well said, it's poorly said. Then Roethlisberger is a Hall

761
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: of Famer. So is Joe Breese. No, Ben Roethlisberger is

762
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. Cam Newton is an m v P.

763
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: You're you're lining Cam Newton to Jamis Winston. Nobody knows

764
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: that gets Nobody knows what camp in the summer two

765
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: years ago. Jamis Winston is a deeply inconsistent quarterback who

766
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: threw so many interceptions this past year that the fact

767
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: that he threw thirty plus touchdowns in five thousand yards

768
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: was wiped away. He got dumped and had to sign

769
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: almost at the veteran minimum Cam Newton is a former

770
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: m v P at least revolution the quarterback position in

771
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: the last decade. You can't compare the two guys that would.

772
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: It's a totally different scenario in terms of what it does. Hey,

773
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning is available to what happened two years ago,

774
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. All right, we we go to the judge.

775
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: Uh well, obviously not gonna be west I'll go to

776
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: credit well despite um the first use of bulbous I've

777
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: heard since a description of Bill Clinton's nose that that

778
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: was pretty much the only time I've ever heard the

779
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: word bulus. It's just always talk about that bull list

780
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: and and really strong arguments. I gotta go with the prosecution.

781
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler here, gutless behavior by the Steelers. All right,

782
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: Mark needed the win. That's fine. Final one. How dare you?

783
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: This is the plaintiff, Chris Westling. He believes that the

784
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: Patriots decision to part ways with Tom Brady then failed

785
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 1: to address the quarterback position in a substantial way, has

786
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: set up the organization for potential incompetence in He's suing

787
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: for franchise negligence and belief in false gods. This is

788
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: the defendant, Greg Rosenthal, this is what I've been waiting

789
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: for him. Bescientists going at it. He believes the Patriots

790
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: have never done anything wrong and Bill Belichick is completely

791
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: and totally in fallible. Mr Wesley Jared Stidham drafted on

792
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: Day three, which means he was evaluated by the NFL

793
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: as a backup coming out of college. Due to a

794
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: strong preseason salary cap issues in the absence of Tom Brady,

795
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: he is now seen as a savior. But how relevant

796
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 1: is the preseason? Right there on your roster you have

797
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: Chase win Of It's the preseason defensive player of the

798
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: Year who went on to play about two nineties snaps

799
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: out of a thousand during the season. How relevant is

800
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: that you have a fourth round pick who outplayed Stidham

801
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: in the preseason, Ryan Finley. For the Bengals, they decided

802
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,919
Speaker 1: halfway through the year he was their answer and better

803
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 1: than Andy Dalton. He lasted a few starts. We saw

804
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: he was a backup, a backup, that's what he is. Uh.

805
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: Why bringing Cody Sessler after the pick six? If you

806
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: thought he was good enough, if you thought he was

807
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: good enough future starter, you'd have kept him on as

808
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: your backup in the middle of the season. Rather, you're

809
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: out of order. Boston Boston Sportunal says Jared's did him

810
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 1: evaluated by the Patriots themselves as being a year away

811
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: from ready to start for this team. So to me, yeah,

812
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, Greg, defend your team. Um. Were you or

813
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: were you not? Um? The same person who said just

814
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago, if you just have a two

815
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: thousand and nineteen draft pick, why do you want to

816
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: confuse everything by bringing in a veteran were you just?

817
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: It's yes or no question. I did not say that

818
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen early round pick. Was was Jared'stidham or

819
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: not expected to be a first round pick before? You

820
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 1: know he would before his senior season? Yes, like Javon

821
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: sneed a few How often have you watched jared'st did

822
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: him at practice? Never? So? How often has the you know,

823
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: the greatest coach of all time watched him at practice

824
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: enough times to say this was not by design? Having

825
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: only Jared stid him? Answer? Do you think you have

826
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: a better evaluation process than the greatest badgering the witness?

827
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: I do not. Also don't believe that he believes Are

828
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: you aware of the one thousand meals that jared'stid him

829
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: and his wife have given away um to families in

830
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,439
Speaker 1: need during the pandemic. So we found something he does better.

831
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: The quarterback strike that from the record, that's irrelevant. Relevant

832
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:45,240
Speaker 1: that is that is part of the process of being morning.

833
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: You be careful here? Do you want to be Hey,

834
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: look at your boy, Nick Saban. Do you want to

835
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: be the Nick Saban of the Dolphins. You refused to

836
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: bring in a guy because you have questions about a shoulder.

837
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: Do you want to be the Nick Saban Dolphins for

838
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: the next decade? Oh? Look, when you've got when you've

839
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: got a backup court like uh, like Brian Hoyer. There,

840
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: you just don't want Who am I kidding? This is ridiculous.

841
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: Give up all these teams for about practice. This is

842
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: Cam Newton we're talking about. He should be in the league.

843
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: What are you all doing? YouTube? Patriots? I'm going back

844
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: to pro bono. Somebody get a straight jacket. Yeah, that's

845
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: that's how you want your lawyer to act. There. You know,

846
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: just Jack, you're gonna be happy about his counsel here.

847
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: I thought that guy had good lawyers. It seems like

848
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: that guy's got great lawyers. I want someone else on

849
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: the wall. All right, Well, Mark clean this up as

850
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: the as the judge here, I don't know what even

851
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: to make of what we just saw. Well, I have

852
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: to almost throw the case out. I mean, you have

853
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: to take this back to square one. But based on

854
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: what I saw, um, I think you know, football in general,

855
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is someone that has always wanted to get

856
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: the best possible player. I remember when the Cleveland Browns

857
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: under Bill Belichick had Bernie cos Bernie. Well, this is

858
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: this is you know, you're you're using past cases, and

859
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: a past case would be Bernie and Belichick brought in

860
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: Vinnie tested verdie caused all sorts of problems. Jared Stidham

861
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: is not Bernie Kozar. I don't see why you don't

862
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: do this. I'm with West, and by the way, West

863
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: seems to be one of the two sides, the two

864
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: lawyers that believe in his own case. I like your

865
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: use of precedents. That's very precedent, baby. Yeah. Well he

866
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: was very efficient with his words, you know, not us

867
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: not a known bloviator that Judge Wapner. Alright, tune in

868
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: next week for more cases here at the People's Court.

869
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 1: This is adjourned. What is it called? This courtroom is adjourned?

870
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: That's it? Nice work, all right, before we go? Good stuff.

871
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what we accomplished there, but you know

872
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: that was fun. Um it is now time. Yes, we

873
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: get people complain. We get complaints sometimes not all the time,

874
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: but occasionally that certain teams don't get enough coverage on

875
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: our podcast. This is the around the NFL podcast, and

876
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,959
Speaker 1: it does. I suppose makes sense that every team gets

877
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: equal coverage. That said, that's impossible. It's just not the way.

878
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: It's not the way any podcast can operate. Taking notes

879
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: and to the second, to the minute, to the hour,

880
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: how much love each team gets. A team only gets

881
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: as much love as they're interesting to us. Really, But

882
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: what we're introducing here in the middle of a pandemic

883
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: with let's be honest, some Minutes to Kill is a

884
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: a new recurring segment where we will choose one team

885
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 1: at random, selected at the end of a Monday show,

886
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: and then devote an entire segment to that team, UH

887
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: and prove to you that we do care about your team,

888
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: your team matters, and will UH put our heads together

889
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: after each Monday show, UH decide who's the best kind

890
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: of outside beat right or beat reporter or whomever to

891
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: connect with. Will have a guest involved on each show.

892
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: Ideally that will give a in depth perspective, uh, someone

893
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: who's covering the team on a day to day basis.

894
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 1: So we're really gonna have fun with this. Also, we're

895
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: gonna as a group it will be a homework assignment

896
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: for us that we will do our studies and we'll

897
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: do some reading and learn up and learn more about

898
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,800
Speaker 1: these teams before we have a nice conversation on Wednesday,

899
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,479
Speaker 1: because nobody wants uh, I'll informed Jabron he's talking about

900
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: their team. That's a real greg that's a real test,

901
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: as you know from going back a long time now

902
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: p f T. If someone's gonna read about or listen

903
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: to their team. They want the national people to have

904
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,720
Speaker 1: a general idea, not just general, but an actual idea

905
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: of what's going on, not brush strokes, broad strokes that

906
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: we're going in with a fine detailed uh tiny comb right.

907
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: It's fired about going national. You got you gotta be

908
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: able to match the hometown fan base at least, you know,

909
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 1: for all thirty two teams. This will be a great test.

910
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 1: So for one show at least we will match, uh

911
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: that level of coverage, and Erica worked behind the scenes

912
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,399
Speaker 1: to get us a wheel of teams that you can

913
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: see here if you're watching a video component of our show.

914
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna spin the wheel and being completely honest and transparent,

915
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: we do not know where this wheel lands that has

916
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: been set up. Ricky, can you jump in for a

917
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: second and just explain to the audience the mechanics behind

918
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: this that there's no way to throw this in any way. Yep,

919
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: I was sent it via the graphics team. It's programmed

920
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: that once it lands on a team, it gets cut

921
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: from the wheel. Um and there will be no repeat.

922
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: So once it lands and I'm I was afraid to

923
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: even press it for the first time, so I don't

924
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: even know where it's gonna land. Okay, so this is

925
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: the moment of truth and and mark people. If it

926
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: lands on the Jets, Browns, We're gonna catch hell here.

927
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: But again, this is completely randomized, and uh, that's just

928
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: the way it is. But the odds are it will

929
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: not hit the Jets, Browns, Patriots, Bengals, Broncos, Colts, our

930
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: favorite teams. It will hit on another team, but there's

931
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: only one way to find out rights. Well, I think

932
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,720
Speaker 1: the Jets, Browns and Patriots should be taken off the boards. No,

933
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: that's not how you guys want to take your pick.

934
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: Who you feeling a feeling? I mean it's one and

935
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: thirty two, right, A strong feeling it's gonna land on

936
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Okay, I am almost certain, just because it's

937
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: been talked up it will be the Jets are Browns, Vikings,

938
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: all right, Ricky, I don't guess money one, Oh Marbot Cardinals.

939
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: I told you, I have told you I had a feeling.

940
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: So he had a Sessler. Wow. I want everyone to

941
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: realize that Mark saying that he did not see the wheel.

942
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: There's been no wheel. Mark just accurately predicted that the

943
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals will be the focus of our Wednesday show

944
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: also did not. I also did my research on the

945
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals um over the weekend, so I just you know,

946
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: I felt very confident that would be the case. Convincing

947
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: surprise from Erica too. I thought it was great all

948
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 1: the way around. Wait, I really didn't know. We didn't

949
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: know it was good. Dan's probably a little annoyed this

950
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: happened because it feels like if the fixes in it

951
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: was genuinely Greg not so subtly trying to undermine the

952
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: segment as usual by saying Ricky knew what it was,

953
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 1: market Marc if you hadn't said anything, but it wouldn't

954
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: have been as big a giveaway where I swear on

955
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: thor that I did not text anyone, or right, why

956
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: are you eating lunch in the middle of the post

957
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: were done? It's like one you know. It also just

958
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: happens to be first alphabetically among the teams. All right,

959
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: well that's something attract for Danna. No, no, that's wrong.
