Speaker 2: Greg Rosenthal and yes, Mark Sessler, And that is what

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: we are all about on tonight's episode. We're taping this

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: Wednesday evening here on the West Coast, Mark Sessler, the

8
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: schedules out. We're gonna go through all the interesting nugs

9
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: that we can dig up on short notice. And I

10
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: know I can see the goosebumps through my monitor right

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: now looking at you, Bud.

12
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I was thinking though that back

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: when I was in like seventh and eighth grade, that

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: there was a very special day each I think it

15
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: was back in April back then where USA Today would

16
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: print and it was breaking news as a newspaper back then,

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 3: like the entire NFL schedule, and like my brother and

18
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 3: I would have a wrestling match over like who got

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: to look at it first? So it is historically has

20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: meant a lot to me. I think now I'm surprised

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 3: that it's not taking place over four or five or

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 3: six days. As a week long event, because I think

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 3: that's probably where we're heading with it at this point.

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: For some reason, like when Mark started telling that story,

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: I expected it to be like and then the Milkmen

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: came over and totally from.

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 4: The time of their radio he's older. Yeah, it's funny.

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: I huge fan of the NFL, you know, since I

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: was probably about ten or eleven years old, but I

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: don't remember the NFL. Obviously they didn't handle it at

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: all the way they do now is in terms of

32
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: a blowout event the way it is now, But even then,

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: I feel like when the NFL schedule dropped, you would

34
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: find it I don't know, and like the backpage or

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: deep in the sports section when it was released, and

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: there would obviously be your local football team or teams.

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: The Beat reporter would hammer out eight hundred words on

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: it maybe. But now as everything is tied to the NFL,

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: it is it is a huge to do and while

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: we and this is a good time when you think

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: about our great late friend Chris Westling, we like to

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: keep it in perspective and not be one of those

43
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: shows or people that cover the game that put too

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: much into these schedules and look at them and actually

45
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: try to figure out, Oh.

46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 4: This team's gonna be good, this team's gonna be bad, and.

47
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: You're gonna see a lot of that over the next

48
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: few days and weeks and months.

49
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: But also it's fun.

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 2: It's still fun to look at what's going on and

51
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: I think, GREGGI what And I'm gonna give you the

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: last word before we jump into it, before we look

53
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: at week one. That's a good thing to remember too,

54
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: Like it's all fun and maybe it's a little bit

55
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: over the top and overdone a little bit on some level,

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, it takes us

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: one step closer to a new season, and that's exciting.

58
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: Yes, it was my role, I feel like back in

59
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: those shows with Wes to just subtly needle and be like, hey,

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: let's lighten up there, Larry and have a little fun

61
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: with football. They'd be like, you already know the schedules,

62
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: you know who's home and away. You just started like

63
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: saying win the games.

64
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: There.

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, okay, but but then you see see

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: the week one schedule and it does get my blood

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: flowing and yeah, like Walker could not have been more excited.

68
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: So now I feel like I'm reliving what it was

69
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: like to be a fan. Not that we had this,

70
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: but he immediately starts looking at the schedule and doing

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: the win loss thing for various teams, which is like,

72
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: that was the number one columnist slash beat writer move

73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: back in the eighties and nine.

74
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: Well, they've got an NFL segment that copies that exact

75
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: same friend, and maybe he can step right in and

76
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: fill that role if they won't.

77
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Falcons a corner. By the way, I think

78
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: that's Rank's corner. You better watch out. Rank could be

79
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: somebody that will He'll go after you if you come

80
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: toward his corner.

81
00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: Watch out.

82
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: He gave the Falcons at thirteen and four to start Walker,

83
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, you gotta you can't just make

84
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: every team twelve and five. It doesn't work that way.

85
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: You gotta wait the Falcon balance and I know, I mean,

86
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: you got to balance it out. It doesn't make sense.

87
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: Why the Falcons.

88
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: Why did he he started in alphabetical order. He's gonna

89
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: do every team.

90
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: Listen.

91
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: Now, far be it from me to ever doubt what

92
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: Terry Fonteneau could do. You know, the brain trust over there.

93
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: Fourteen seems like a better number. Let's start with week one, Yes,

94
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: and we're gonna go through. We'll go through yes week

95
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: one because that's the next week of football games, and

96
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: we'll check out the primetime slate, we'll check out the

97
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: international games. For the listeners out there that love that

98
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: and maybe or maybe not you saw. I was on

99
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: social media talking with Handsome Hank Henry Hodgson, and he

100
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: gave me one of those things, which I love it.

101
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: He's like, hey, do a promo read where it's you're

104
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: the audience.

105
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 4: I was like, I love that.

106
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: That felt like a career checkpoint, like a check mark,

107
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: like like I've always wanted to do something like that,

108
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: So win Dan's tickets.

109
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: Like that's nice.

110
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: I like me, I'm giving two o'clock here in La

111
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: when I, you know, logged on my phone for about

112
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: the six hundredth time today and noticed that that had dropped,

113
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 3: and I thought, I know Dan is enjoying this moment

114
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: because it is it's kind of like a you're a

115
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: contest announcer at that point, that's you are.

116
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw.

117
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: Shut up?

118
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: All right, Yes, the Holiday games, what's on NFL Network,

119
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 2: all that Stuff're gonna get to. But let's start start

120
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: with week one. And how about this Greg as a

121
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: way to get into it. Because you are I say

122
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: this begrudgingly, but it is what it is. You are

123
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: the defending locks champion. So when we do get to

124
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: that first Thursday show ahead of week one, the Thursday

125
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: Show will do on September fifth, you'll have the first pick.

126
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: Two time defending locks champion, four out of five. I

127
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: don't forget enough enough.

128
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: You took it. It's late at night. We don't need

129
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: to hear that right now.

130
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: You will have the first pick. As a result, what

131
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: would be the game? And if you don't know, if

132
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: you're new to the show or just a little hazy

133
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 2: on how we do it, we don't draft island games.

134
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: But what would you take in a non island game

135
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: draft Week one?

136
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 4: Pick one?

137
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a spicy question, because I'm going to take

138
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: one that I don't think you guys would want, but

139
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: I want it. It's Texans Colts. Actually I want Anthony

140
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: Richards and c J. Stroud like I think, Please please

141
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: lock yourself into that pick. Okay, first of all, and

142
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: second I love it. First of all, the best games

143
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: in Week one are the primetime games. We know that

144
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: the kickoff game is great. Ravens, Chiefs, Packers, Eagles is

145
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: in Brazil on Friday night. That's incredible. The Sunday night

146
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: game is delicious, that's rams, Lions. Your Jets are back

147
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: in primetime on Monday night again in Week one, and

148
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: to be those are like the four best games of

149
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: the week. Actually, so the draft is a little different.

150
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: And yes, I'm all about quarterbacks. And the one hundred

151
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: like twenty minutes of complete games that Anthony Richardson played

152
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: last year, to me were just so electric and I

153
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: love me some CG Stroud like that that or like

154
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams would be where I would probably go because

155
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: I just want to see you right away.

156
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great one. I would have the second pick,

157
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: and h hell, let's do it. Hmm tough.

158
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: Can I tell you what the other one I was debating?

159
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's the other one?

160
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: You were thinking Falcons Steelers just because it's either Russell

161
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: Wilson or Justin Fields with the Steelers and it's Kirk

162
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: Cousins with the Falcons.

163
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: To me, that's why this is a classic Reg move

164
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: to pick multiple games when he's already picked a game.

165
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: Sorry, you know what's funny because I would do just

166
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: to either I would leverage it for a trade or

167
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: I would take it just to get the season off

168
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: and on a horrible foot Cowboys at Browns and Mark,

169
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: you texted me about what the news that came out.

170
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: So I think that's a really good game. I think

171
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: it's an interesting game.

172
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: It's the late Fox game, and who is on the call,

173
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: Mark Sessler, for that particular game.

174
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: That's why I think it's just incredibly spicy and we're

175
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: all going to be watching it. But it is the

176
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: debut of Tom Brady, and you know, I think that's

177
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: something that you know, Greg and I the booth as

178
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: the number one guy, the number one guy for Fox.

179
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: Greg and I had been on a beat wondering if

180
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: this would ever occur. It's clearly happening at this point,

181
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: and Greg Olsen has been bumped to the second booth,

182
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 3: which I think is I did a segment about that

183
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 3: earlier in the offseason.

184
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 4: Feels unrighteous to me.

185
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 3: They're loaded Foxes loaded, But of course you're gonna want

186
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: to watch that game and just see how does Brady

187
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: handle a the Cowboys and the Browns. But like I

188
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: texted Greg's saying, like I am legitimately surprised with all

189
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: the teams you could have found to play the Cowboys

190
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: in Week one and have Tom Brady announcing. I know

191
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: the Browns were a playoff team, but that to me

192
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: felt like an upset that the Cleveland got that spot

193
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 3: at home for Tom Brady's first game against the Dallas Cowboys.

194
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: Kind of a strange pick, but that was where That's

195
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 3: where I would have gone with with the number two

196
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 3: the Cowboys.

197
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: Listen and we all know the Cowboys having him been

198
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: to the guy super Bowl in over a quarter century,

199
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: but that they always do the biggest number, and Fox

200
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: is like, put Tom on that game and and cross

201
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: their fingers and see what happens.

202
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean Cleveland, though it could have been,

203
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: you know, the Eagles versus Dallas or something, but they're

204
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: going Cleveland Versusallas. The Cleveland side kind of threw me,

205
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: But why.

206
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: Not, I'm changing.

207
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to take it just to annoy Mark and

208
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: I do want the Tom Brady factor.

209
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: So that's a big one too.

210
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: Late, too late in fact, that I kind of picked it,

211
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: I think, or maybe I traded into Mark for seven

212
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: number ones to be named later. I do, Uh, it's

213
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: there's plenty of good games there to pick from. I

214
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: I do think it's a little you know, that guy

215
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: Greenberg on ESPN, they they kind of use him as

216
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: the Jets fan mascot, and it's a little over the

217
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: top to me, to be honest, every time I try

218
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: to read a story about the Jets on ESPN dot com.

219
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: You know, I like Samini as a beat reporter. He's

220
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: the longest tenured beat reporter in team history, and so

221
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: he writes from a perspective that's unique on the beat.

222
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: And I can't scroll down without a giant picture of

223
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: a video still of Greenberg's eyes bugging out, and I'm like,

224
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: what is he?

225
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 4: What is he fired up about? Now?

226
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: In a performance based a pure performance, Like, I know,

227
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: this isn't how he actually feels like when I'm talking

228
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: about the Jets. It's how I actually feel. It's not

229
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: it's not for the cameras or the microphone.

230
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 4: What a joke? What a joke? Point being wow, hit

231
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 4: piece on Greenberg in a big spot.

232
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: I know was like, what did he actually say?

233
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 4: But he said he was.

234
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: He stood up on his morning show and was screaming

235
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 2: that why are the Jets in primetime again Monday night

236
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 2: Football to start the season.

237
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: I don't know why.

238
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: I guess bad juju because of what happened with Rogers

239
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: last year. I think it's I think it's fun and exciting,

240
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: and it's going to be obviously a reset for the

241
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: for that team, and damn, I think it's gonna be

242
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: a lot of fun to see the Niners and the

243
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: Jets in that spot. The Jets are that great defense,

244
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: the Niners with the unstoppable offense at home. I think

245
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: that's a great game. I'm really looking forward to it.

246
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: And I'll throw one game that could be sneaky great.

247
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: How about nobody's talking about the Jaguars this year? How

248
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: about the Jaguars at Miami? Maybe a nice little shootout

249
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: with two quarterbacksam playing in the warm weather.

250
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: I'll give you one.

251
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: Like not all the matchups are great, but I would

252
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 3: think that a second round draft pick in one of

253
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 3: our drafts. Like I want to see Jim Harbaugh's Chargers

254
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: in their debut.

255
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 4: They're playing the Raiders.

256
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: The Raiders aren't that sexy to me, But like, I

257
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: can't think of a team that I'm more interested to

258
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: check out early on is just where the Chargers are

259
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: right out of the gate and what they become. And

260
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: it's like, go play the Raiders in Week one and

261
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: be something different than these past Chargers teams.

262
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 4: I think they will be.

263
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: I mean, if the Chargers at home against I think

264
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a bad Raiders team. Like if they

265
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: can't beat the Raiders in the Jim Harbor homecoming game,

266
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 2: I mean, Chargers fans are gonna be like, are you

267
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: kidding me?

268
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 4: Is this happening again?

269
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: I know there's like, yeah, there's varying levels of excitement

270
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: about the teams around them, but to me, like Jaden Daniels,

271
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: you want to see his first start. That's against the Bucks,

272
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: so that's at the same time as the Cowboys. If

273
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy's starting, he gets the Giants in an early

274
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: game and Bo Nicks, We're gonna have so many damn

275
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: rookie starters. It's kind of outrageous he starts in Seattle.

276
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: But the primetime slate though that might be the best.

277
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: I was kind of looking through it that might be

278
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: the best primetime slate of any week all season. On paper,

279
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: those are pretty much I mean, and you can't ruin

280
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: it with injuries, hopefully, you know, praying to the football gods,

281
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: you can't ruin it at least with bad records, like

282
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: we know they'll all be zero and zero going into it.

283
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: That is a like four bangers in a row to start,

284
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: So good job, Bite.

285
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: It's a good point though, because these networks, they especially

286
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 2: this past year, are just getting absolutely banged over and

287
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: oh every week by matchups that looked amazing in May

288
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: that are dog poo by November because of the injuries.

289
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: And you definitely give yourself more coverage by front loading

290
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: these schedules, so we'll be ready for that. Now, let's

291
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: move to Monday Night Football. Let's go through the some

292
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: of the primetime Island games. We'll start with MNF. I

293
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: guess I could start Mark, depending on your perspective. I

294
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 2: could start with T and F because it's kind of

295
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: the first game of the week. But I've already said Sunday.

296
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: We've talked Sunday, so now we've gone to Monday first.

297
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: I think was that a mistake.

298
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if we've made a mistake.

299
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: I do think it's interesting that, like, while you just

300
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: ripped Greenie a new one, he probably, like you know,

301
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: minutes later, is wondering who this Jets guy is giving

302
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 3: away Jets tickets in London.

303
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: So I think there's just a rivalry there. But anyways,

304
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: we can move on. You don't think Greenie knows who

305
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: I am? Now that that hurts no.

306
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: I think I think he's he's probably now you've heard

307
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: seen you, he's probably dismissing you to the level that

308
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: you're dismissing him. Because Jets fans in the media don't

309
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: like other Jets fans taking their spot. I have noticed

310
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 3: that in like over the years. I think that's a thing, so.

311
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 4: I would like it. I would love some examples.

312
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: By the way, I mean, that's a deep cut into

313
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: our Culver City newsroom. I know exactly who Dan is

314
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: talking I mean, who Mark is talking about. I know exactly.

315
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 2: And for the record, you know, Greenie is legit a

316
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: legitimate Jets fan. I just think they've kind of leaned

317
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: into his Jets fandom in a bit of a overly

318
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: performative way.

319
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: But that's that is what it is.

320
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: All right now, you don't think he knows me Monday

321
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: night football, I do. All right, here we go. So

322
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: we talked about Jets at Niners. Week two, we have

323
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: Falcons versus Eagles, so we're gonna get have the Falcons do.

324
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 4: By the way, with primetime games.

325
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked that they are in primetime three

326
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: of the first five weeks. We're going big on Kirk

327
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: Early at Philly Monday Night. We two for Kansas City

328
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: Sunday Night. Week three, we'll get to the Sunday night games,

329
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: and then they got an Amazon game Tampa week five.

330
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: So it is it's a lot of Kirk Early we

331
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: got that. I'm with that.

332
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: I like that.

333
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: We also have three Monday which I've never been a

334
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: fan of, Mark, and I know you feel this, especially

335
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: three Monday night football double headers Week three when you

336
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: have Jags Bills and Commanders Bengals, Week four Titans Dolphins, Seahawks, Lions,

337
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: and Week seven when you have Ravens, Bucks, Chargers, Cardinals.

338
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: So you get three of those in a four week stretch,

339
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: in a five week stretch, and you also get another one.

340
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: This feels is that it might be tied to the holidays,

341
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: but Week fifteen, you're gonna get Bears Vikings and then

342
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: the Falcons again versus the Raiders. Week seventeen, by the way,

343
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: you have a epic showdown potentially in NFC Championship Showdown

344
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: preview between the Lions and the Niners. So ever since

345
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: Joe and Troy hit the scene and the the the

346
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: rights in terms of just what ESPN pays for Monday

347
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: Night football and then what they're paying for that booth,

348
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: these games are so good now. Sunday night football is

349
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: always going to be king, but Monday Night football now

350
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: is a very respectable silver medalist.

351
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: I'd say this like, we are veterans of watching multiple

352
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: games at the same time on Sundays, so if anything,

353
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: we have the skills to watch these Monday night doubleheaders.

354
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 4: I just I kind of it's just marked that's that

355
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 4: energy in October. Okay, no, I'm saying I like that.

356
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 3: It's the classic sense that Monday night football used to

357
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: be like the sporting event of the week, and they're

358
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: competing against themselves with everything else at this point. So

359
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: I at some point you got to give up the

360
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: ghost and be like next year, there'll be five of

361
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: them in the years after that.

362
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: They'll be seven or eight, so you got to just

363
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 4: roll with it.

364
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: At least I'm glad they didn't do it in week one.

365
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: There should be an asterisk though, Like when you're looking

366
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: at all the teams, it's like shows how many primetime

367
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: games each team has. But then you're you know, like

368
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: the ESPN Plus game for the Arizona Cardinals Chargers as

369
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: part of a double header, It's like, that shouldn't count

370
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: as a full prime time game. That's a half of

371
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: a game for the Cardinals. Sorry, you didn't even really

372
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: get a David Zaslov over here. Now it's the same thing,

373
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: like you can kind of see it. It's like, oh,

374
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: let's give the Titans one prime time game, but it's

375
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: the it's the ESPN game when ABC has one that

376
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: that's better. On that same Monday night, Monday Night got

377
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: one of the games. I was keeping an eye on,

378
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: where's it going to land on the schedule, The Harbor

379
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: Little Jim Jim and John John coming to LA on

380
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: Monday night after Thanksgiving. So it's it's a big football weekend.

381
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: And then you get a little Harbor v. Harbaugh in

382
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: Week twelve. I'm intrigued by that. You know you remember

383
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: the awkward press conferences.

384
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 4: It's fine.

385
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure modern day Jim Harbaugh is going to

386
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: handle that extremely well with the daily pressures of the

387
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: gig at the place he is at now emotionally otherwise.

388
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 4: It's not just another day, it's two day, all right.

389
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: Why don't we take a look at Sunday Night Football?

390
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: Less have been any other MNF takes.

391
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 3: The only one that stands out to me also though,

392
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: is Bengals Cowboys Week fourteen. It's my main note there

393
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 3: is like, can we please still have Joe Burrow at

394
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: that point? That's some of these games I would like earlier,

395
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: just for what we talked about before. But if everyone's healthy,

396
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 3: that is, you don't. I can't really remember a Bengals

397
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 3: Cowboys game of much note in my lifetime.

398
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 2: I'm honestly like Burrow, sure, you always want to make

399
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: sure he's on the field.

400
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 4: I don't know. Are the Cowboys even gonna be good

401
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 4: this year? I don't know. I got a weird feeling

402
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 4: about the Cowboys.

403
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: Fourteen would be shocking to me. But you're right, I'm

404
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: with you on the are the Cowboys going to be good?

405
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: All right?

406
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: Let's pause real quick take our first break and when

407
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: we come back, more schedule talk.

408
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 4: All right, let's check out Sunday Night Football.

409
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: So I just said that Monday Night Football's slate is

410
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: always you know, okay, and then it to good and

411
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: then now that Joe and Troyer involved that now it's great.

412
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: But nothing ever touches Sunday Night Football it is, which

413
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: is funny, like speaking of Mark, you're.

414
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: Talking about the old days.

415
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, checking out the agate in the back

416
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: of the sports section in ninety one to see what

417
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: the brown schedule was. But you know, Sunday Night Football

418
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 2: used to be a total afterthought.

419
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: On some level.

420
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: It was almost like why does this game exist? Monday

421
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: Night Football was the marquee game. There was no Thursday

422
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: night football. Sunday Night Football was this kind of weird

423
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: ESPN telecast. I remember it was like Joe thigh, what

424
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: was it thise minute? Paul McGuire was on the call,

425
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: Paul McGuire and was it McGuire Paul McGuire, Yeah, Paul

426
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: McGuire was on the call, and the games were sometimes.

427
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: Why am I suddenly like making only comments about the

428
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 3: eighties and nineties, like I do have takes about this generation.

429
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 2: I think you're just correcting me there. Don't don't beat

430
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: yourself up about that, and that was actually very important.

431
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 4: That was very important.

432
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 2: But anyway, so Sunday Night football back then was not

433
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: the place to be.

434
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 4: Now it is.

435
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: Let's check it out Sunday Night Football twenty twenty four,

436
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: and remember at a certain point, and it's earlier than

437
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: ever now, Greggie, I know you'll have the details.

438
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 4: These games can start to be flexed out.

439
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 2: That could happen with other primetime nights as well now, but.

440
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 4: Sunday Night Football opens.

441
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: We mentioned rams lines a rematch of that great one

442
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: point Wildcard showdown in Detroit in January. Week two, Chicago, Houston.

443
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: Oh give me all you got with that.

444
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 4: I like that.

445
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: I love that. That's creative. I think that was like,

446
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna put Caleb in primetime maybe a couple times.

447
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: Let's do it right off the bat and Sunday night.

448
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 2: That's juicy, right because especially the Bears obviously a huge market,

449
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 2: huge hype around them, but they could still suck. I mean,

450
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: they have a rookie quarterback well within the range of outcomes,

451
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: but in Week two ill sexy and there's no stink

452
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: on them if stink were to potentially exist down the line,

453
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: and then you get CJ.

454
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 4: Stroud Chiefs Falcons.

455
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 2: The leaning into the Falcons thing is interesting to me,

456
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: but it is what it is. Bill's Ravens week four.

457
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 2: Who that's nice, Cowboys Steelers week five. I'm just gonna

458
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: go through the Bengals Giants week six, Jet Steelers Week seven,

459
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: Cowboys Niners week eight, and I'll pause here after Jaguars

460
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: Eagles Week nine. Any thoughts in the first half of

461
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: that slate, keep it up, please.

462
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 3: The one thing I noticed that I love about this

463
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 3: season is that you've got the AFC North where you've

464
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: got four potential playoff teams against the NFC East that

465
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter how good they are their primetime goal.

466
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: So it's like there's all every week is dotted with

467
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: these North versus East showdowns, and I'm looking up and

468
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 3: down this Sunday night slate. I don't see a bad

469
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 3: game outside of a couple a couple teams in a

470
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 3: little suspect, it's like there's not a game on the

471
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: sleep right.

472
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: You can flex games starting Week five. I mean, it'd

473
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: be sad if you had a Week five game and

474
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: you got flexed out of it, but maybe it would

475
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: be a big injury a maximum of two between weeks

476
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: five and ten, and then you can flex whatever you

477
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: want after that eleven and on as much as you want.

478
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: What strikes me, Dan is your is your boys. You

479
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: know they're not living on Sunday Night where they never

480
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: used to get any action. But they're just in. We

481
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: might as well mention it here. They're just in primetime

482
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: all the time. They got a Monday Night game Week one,

483
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: Thursday Night game week three, they're in the Hot Toddy,

484
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: which is an island game, week five, Monday Night week six.

485
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Steelers on Sunday Night week seven. They

486
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: got another Thursday and another Sunday coming up in weeks

487
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: nine and eleven. That's outrageous. They are in. They are

488
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: in primetime more than any team in the NFL. I

489
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: think they're tied with the Chiefs, but they're all also

490
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: in the first eleven weeks for whatever reason, and then

491
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: and then it dies off. So it's just get ready.

492
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: They are not They're not America's team, but they're just

493
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: gonna be the conversation, like among the leaders in conversation

494
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: week after week after week.

495
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: I think America's time team might be the team with

496
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 3: six standalone games, which is the Lions. We live in

497
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 3: a world now where the Jets and Lions have a

498
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: combined thirteen standalone games and they lead the league.

499
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: That is an unusual place to be. Yeah, it's not

500
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 4: about the Jets. It's about Aaron Rodgers.

501
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 2: And if you look at Aaron Rodgers, how many primetime

502
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: games he's had, I would imagine no one's had more

503
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: primetime games in the last fifteen years than Rogers.

504
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 4: He's bankable.

505
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: And last year, you know, Jets fans had it the

506
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: worst and Rogers had it the worst the way it

507
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: all played out, But then everybody got dinged as well

508
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: with all those games that showed up. So it's almost

509
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: like the networks in the NFL had a decision to make,

510
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 2: which was do we, you know, sit on the Jets

511
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: a little bit and move away from them, or did

512
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: last year just not count in a lot of ways,

513
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: And this is the route they went.

514
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 4: So I'll get it.

515
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: I'll get the frustration of the Jets disappoint and they

516
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: keep popping up, But there's also a very good chance

517
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: when you look at their roster that they are going

518
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 2: to be a team that is a competitive playoff team.

519
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 2: So I get the consternation if it's out there, but

520
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: it makes sense to me with.

521
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: Rot, that makes sense. It makes sense, all right.

522
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 2: In second half of Sunday Night football, Lions Texans dogey.

523
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Texans too. Yeah, they're betting big

524
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: on the Texans, which makes sense.

525
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 4: Colts Jets.

526
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 2: So the Jets are back again and week eleven, hopefully

527
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson's back as well. Him against that defense makes

528
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: some sense. Eagles Rams week twelve, Niners, Bills week thirteen.

529
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 2: This is a who's who in the NFL, at least

530
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: where we stand in May Chargers Chiefs Week fourteen, Packers Seahawks.

531
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: Seahawks get a prime time game in a Sunday night

532
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 2: that makes sense. They get it week fifteen, Bucks Cowboys

533
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: week sixteen. Week seventeen a game mark that potentially could

534
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 2: have huge ramifications in the AFC playoff picture, the Finns

535
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: and the Brownies. And then Week eighteen is TBD VTBD.

536
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: They always try to make that one either a win

537
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: or go home game or a game that otherwise has

538
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 2: big playoff ramifications.

539
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 3: The one thing I see, because if you look across

540
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: these like primetime the only they used to you know,

541
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 3: TNF used to be a way to you know, wedge

542
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 3: the dirt nap teams at some point into the primetime schedule.

543
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: And only the Panthers weren't given a primetime game this year,

544
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: which I think when it's only one team, that's a

545
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: real slap in the face.

546
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 4: I hope I was.

547
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: Saving that nugget when we got through the primetime games.

548
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: But oh yes, while we're here, Yes they are not

549
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 2: Monday night or Sunday Night, and they won't be Thursday

550
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: night either, the only team without a primetime game.

551
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 4: But man, you go to and.

552
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: Fifteen and you know what, I don't know if the

553
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: NFL is thrilled with the operations in Carolina and how

554
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: things have been handled in the last year or so,

555
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: so you might have a little bit of a slap

556
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: on the wrist there as well. It doesn't not make

557
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: sense to me, But if you're bryce young, you were

558
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: the toast of the town one year ago today, and

559
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: now you're on a team that doesn't even get a

560
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 2: single primetime game when the NFL is probably about fifty

561
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: nine percent primetime games now. So it does tell you

562
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: a lot.

563
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: So one thing I noticed looking at this NBC schedule

564
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: is the Chiefs are on NBC like four or four times,

565
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: and we don't see it if you're looking at the

566
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: graphic on YouTube. There's also a Saturday game, which is

567
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: a new little wrinkle that's part of the NBC schedule.

568
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes was I think on the NFL network, I think

569
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: CBS as a game and it's this it's Saturday Week sixteen,

570
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: But NBC has it, and it's like going up against

571
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: college football a little bit. You know, some bulls are

572
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: going on by then, and it's a big time game.

573
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: It's Texans Chiefs, so it's not surprising that they're leaning

574
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: into the Chiefs. But like the Chiefs are of the

575
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football are like the NBC team which a

576
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: lot of Tariko and Mahomes, well.

577
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 4: Well it's Collinsworth in Mahomes sure, and Mark.

578
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: I get the frustration of people not wanting to hear

579
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 2: the folksye wisdom of Collins Earth screaming about Patrick Mahomes

580
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: for the ninth straight season.

581
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 4: But I really do hope.

582
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 2: I have a lot of concerns based on the current

583
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: construction and the roster and the uncertainty around Rashi Rice

584
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: and the amount of pressure being put on a rookie

585
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 2: wide receiver and Hollywood Brown to be big time stars,

586
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: that we might have another somewhat ground and pound type

587
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs team that maybe they're not as fun to watch

588
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 2: in prime time. But certainly you can't complain about the

589
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: Chiefs being a prime time they're the back to back champs.

590
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 3: No, but that's not one of my top fifty concerns

591
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 3: about the upcoming season is the Chiefs being unwatchable.

592
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 4: I know what you're saying.

593
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 3: I think they have a better wide out cores already

594
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: without even if you miss Rice for a big chunk

595
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: of the season potentially wise, and they did last year.

596
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 3: And my issue is more with Tony Romo and Mahomes

597
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 3: and this is taking some of those Mahomes moments and

598
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 3: big matchups away from Tony Romo and giving them too

599
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 3: Chris Collinsworth. So you're right, you're there's more to consider there.

600
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Saturday thing is weird. It was a little

601
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: twist because now I'm looking at it and we'll get

602
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: to the Wednesday Christmas games. But they put the Ravens

603
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs both on that Saturday game, two big

604
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: time games. The other game is Steelers Ravens and that

605
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: one's on Fox. And so that that's just a little

606
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: new wrinkle. They're trying to take out college football. I mean,

607
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: they're coming for everyone, putting big time games on those

608
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: days and then putting the big time quarterbacks, making them

609
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: go from Saturday to Wednesday, you know, on a Christmas wind.

610
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 4: When does it end? Who? I mean, where when do

611
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 4: the slaughters? See?

612
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as enough enough, as it does

613
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: not exist.

614
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: All right's take a break and we'll take a look

615
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: at that Thursday night football schedule.

616
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, welcome back. In case you're just joining us.

617
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 4: Would be weird.

618
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 2: But maybe you wanted to jump ahead of the ads

619
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: and then you went too far and you were like,

620
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: I'll just start here, you know, like I'm sure that happens.

621
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 4: Sometimes people have a lot.

622
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: Of min thirty minutes. How bad are they at pressing

623
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: the thirty second forward?

624
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's just it was a decision they made,

625
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: and you know, they didn't lose sleep about it.

626
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 4: They're not going to lose sleep about it. Anyway.

627
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: We are going through the NFL schedule release that went

628
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: down on May fifteenth, that is today's taping. And you know,

629
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: I just think we're throwing up these graphics. You could

630
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: watch this on YouTube. Check out the program on YouTube.

631
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: Uh if you want to get another viewpoint and how

632
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: this show looks and operates and throw up like throw

633
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: up Thursday night football right now at ETP because I'm

634
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: see that there's it's an issue because it's covering up

635
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: Greg right now. And it is there a way to

636
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: make let's play with our our head shots? Is there

637
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: a way to get all take it down? Take it

638
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: down a second?

639
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 4: It's obscuring Greg that doesn't see Yeah.

640
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: All right, try a different grouping of the images for video.

641
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 4: Okay, now throw it up?

642
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: Good?

643
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 4: I like that?

644
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this one like that.

645
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 3: This works, but this is ridiculous. Then I'm now I'm blocked.

646
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: And that works for you.

647
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: But it's cleaner and it's actually even tighter on Dana

648
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: looks good.

649
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 4: It looks good.

650
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Eric said he was going to fix it. I

651
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 3: don't see how this is how I would label it.

652
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I you know, I can understand for some

653
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: of the listeners of the viewers, but I'm completely off

654
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 3: the screen now.

655
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 4: So nice work.

656
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: This is accellently kind of amazing, just hearing marked disembodied

657
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: voice behind a you know, Broncos versus.

658
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 4: Slowly getting more angry like that I.

659
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 3: Need to do. Do I need to discuss Thursday Night

660
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 3: Football still?

661
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: Or you know, it would be good if we could

662
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: do in post production the literal steam starting to come

663
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: out from on the sides of the schedule for Thursday

664
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: Night Football, so pictable. All right, No, you could go

665
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: back to the original one, because Mark's gonna be get mad.

666
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: So all right, let's let's go.

667
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 2: Let's go through Thursday Night because Thursday Night is again

668
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: it used to be the redheaded stepchild of the primetime slate.

669
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: But then the NFL network sold or NFL Media sold,

670
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: or NFL sold it to Prime, and and now Prime says, no,

671
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: you got to give us some good games. So we've

672
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: gotten better games as a result. So what we found

673
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways here is that the Sunday product, ironically,

674
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: which is you know what it's all about. Because of

675
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: the business side of the NFL, so many games now

676
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: have to be farmed out to these primetime slots. Mark

677
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 2: that Sunday doesn't always have the best games anymore, and

678
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 2: usually doesn't, except when you take out Sunday Night Football.

679
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: But the plus side is these Island games have gotten

680
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,719
Speaker 2: a lot better over the years.

681
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: Thoughts on that, Well, yeah, I still think that that

682
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 3: four PM slot, whether it's Fox or CBS, will continual

683
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 3: to have major bangers because they're paying a ton of

684
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 3: money for that. But you're right, like the best games

685
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 3: on paper when we're looking at it now, each one

686
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: of these primetime venues are solidified. There isn't like one

687
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: that's just sort of floating stinkers out there like TNF

688
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: used to be. So I see on this one we

689
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: can get into it. But on this slate for TNF

690
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 3: this year, yeah, they're leading hard into divisional rivalries and

691
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 3: they got a lot of good divisional games, especially late

692
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: in the year.

693
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: You know, I agree with everything you're saying, Dan, but

694
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: this is the spot where you sneak in a couple teams.

695
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: So we get the PAI. The Patriots get one primetime game.

696
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: Oh how the Mighty have fallen? You know, they got

697
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: the international game, but they have one prime time game.

698
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: You do it early before their record Maybe is too bad?

699
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: Is Drake May? And isn't it funny? Now? The Jets

700
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: are the big team lifting up the Patriots for their

701
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: old only primetime game, and then you kind of see

702
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: it here. It's like the Bucks didn't get a lot

703
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: of primetime love even though they won their division three

704
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: street times. Let's sneak them in here. It's like the

705
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: Broncos and Saints don't get a lot of love. Now

706
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: let's do the Sean Payton revenge game. And I don't

707
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: know if it's revenge, but Sean Payton comes to New

708
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: Orleans and so that's like a fun game. So some

709
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: teams still this is like where they slide.

710
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

711
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's still of the of the island slots. Thursday

712
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: is still going to be the landing spot in that sense.

713
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: But I mean, I've been with the company for the

714
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: entire run of Thursday Night Football, and it used to

715
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 2: be it used to feel like the Jaguars and Titans

716
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: played every week, and if it wasn't actually the Jaguars

717
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: and Titans, it was those type of matchups almost every Thursday.

718
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: And now we got Bangers.

719
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: So let's go through a Week two because obviously Week

720
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: one is the kickoff game and that.

721
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 4: Goes to NBC.

722
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: You have Bills, Dolphins, and then you have a rivalry

723
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 2: game Pats Jets with new quarterbacks in the mix, Cowboys, Giants, Bucks, Falcons.

724
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 4: So Mark, you're dead on.

725
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: These are big time division rivals, Niners, Seahawks. Now we

726
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 2: have an intra inter conference Broncos Saints Week seven, Vikings

727
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: Rams Week eight, Texans Jets, Big Showdown Week nine, Week ten,

728
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: Bengals Ravens Week eleven, Commanders Eagles Week twelve, o Markie Steelers,

729
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 2: Brownies Week fourteen, So I think we got Thanksgiving their

730
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: week thirteen, Week fourteen, Packers Lions, Week fifteen, Rams Niners

731
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 2: Week sixteen, Browns are back against the Bengals, another big

732
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 2: primetime game. And then week seventeen, two teams that are

733
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: hoping to be in the postseason race Seahawks and Bears.

734
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 3: Like that week takeout, Week eleven, Commanders Eagles. I mean,

735
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 3: we don't know where we're gonna be about with the Commanders,

736
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 3: But ten, twelve, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, those are megaton matchups

737
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 3: between playoff teams, Like that's that's unusual for TNF six

738
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 3: years ago.

739
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: To your point, Yeah, Packers, Lions and Rams Niners fourteen

740
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: and fifteen back to back. The Bengals Ravens.

741
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 4: It is.

742
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: This does seem like they're doing everything they can to

743
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: keep al as invested as possible in this last year,

744
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: potentially on this contract.

745
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 4: So the Panthers are the only one. Yeah, that that

746
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 4: feels a little personal. It should have been like twelve,

747
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 4: two teams, then you're not alone, you know.

748
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but me though, GREGI like, if it's two teams,

749
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: then you can say, well, you know, there's a reason

750
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: and there's only so much space.

751
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 4: But when it's just the one team, I'm.

752
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: Just saying the Cardinals had only ESPN plus the Jags

753
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: get the international games, but they only have one sort

754
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: of secondary Monday Night football. Actually, now they have a

755
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: couple of my Now, you're right, it's it's not great,

756
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: but they were you could they were truly an abysmal team.

757
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's check you You know, we have

758
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: a ton of listeners overseas, so why don't we check

759
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 2: out the international game schedule as you know, and that

760
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: the Zuzzer is giving away two of his own tickets

761
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,000

763
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: of things, and of course my own handles where you can.

764
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: All you got to do, by the way, on that

765
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:45,799

00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 2: get those tickets.

767
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. There's no there's nothing. I watched

768
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: the video. Nothing in the video says that Mark and

769
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: I are you know.

770
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: No literally in the video and says yeah, you you

771
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: must be a resident of the United Kingdom or Ireland.

772
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 4: So we are not eligible.

773
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: But we can hopefully if we're at you know, that game,

774
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: we can meet those fans that I like.

775
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 3: Where Greg's head is out though, I mean that was

776
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: that's I would have done there too, if there were

777
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 3: no stipulations.

778
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 2: I like, I like us being involved in like a

779
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 2: quiz show level scandal over this. That feels like a

780
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: nice way, Like of all the ways that we could

781
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: exit the company. That feels like the best version of

782
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: our out of our ouster.

783
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 4: Hot take.

784
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 2: God Saved the Queen better song than God Saved the King.

785
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: The lyrics had just hit harder. I thought, lyrically, it

786
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: was a better song.

787
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:40,479
Speaker 1: He had a great run.

788
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's check out the schedule. I mean, King Charles,

789
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 2: they just had his portrait. Do you see that he

790
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: looks like Vigo from Ghostbusters too, like what are we doing?

791
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 4: They made him look he looked relatively youthful and hotter

792
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 4: than I believe he is today, by my per just

793
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 4: my personal take, but he looked a little more fiery

794
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 4: and youthful.

795
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 2: But well, the reason it looks more fiery is because

796
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 2: you could see it as what it would feel like

797
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 2: to be in hell. I mean, that's all. It's it's

798
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: quite red, that's all all right. Let's see the schedule.

799
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: Nice king talking a big spot, A little king breakdown.

800
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 2: International schedule, sen Paolo, Brazil, Friday Night, Week one. You

801
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 2: know what, I've come around on this. I came around

802
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 2: on this pretty quickly. I bet this is going to

803
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: be an awesome vibe, great energy, and a great game.

804
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 2: Jordan Love coming off his breakout twenty twenty three season

805
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 2: against the Eagles, who obviously are the offseason champions as

806
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: they always are, but they have some doubters to prove

807
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 2: wrong now as a new season kicks off and they

808
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: get a fresh start in Brazil and then we get

809
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 2: three games in London. I mentioned that the Jets Viking

810
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 2: October sixth at the Hot Toddy.

811
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 4: You have Jaguars.

812
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 2: Doing the back to back as they are wont to

813
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: do Jaguars against Bears, so you're getting again, you're getting

814
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. Hopefully the Bears are the real deal and

815
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 2: they're a good team or an entertaining team by the

816
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 2: middle of October and the Jaguars bounce back after a

817
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 2: rough ending to their previous season, and then the next

818
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: week you get the Pats who It's interesting, Greggy. The

819
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 2: Pats people might not know this people in the United

820
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 2: Kingdom do, but and surrounding territories that the Patriots, because

821
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 2: of their winning ways, were the most popular team in

822
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 2: that region when we first made our trips to London

823
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: about five years ago. I wonder what kind of hold

824
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 2: they have now that they've had some down years post

825
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. It's just interesting, but they are there obviously

826
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 2: for a reason. They want to keep a foothole in

827
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 2: the market. They get the Jaguars. That game's at Wembley Stadium,

828
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 2: so let's talk about the London games.

829
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: I think they have a huge foothold just based on

830
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: social today because I saw the announcements for these games

831
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: and every other reply just about where Patriots fans being

832
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: like five make say yeah, like we're so excited because

833
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: they actually haven't played in the UK. They were in

834
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: Germany last year, but they haven't played in the UK,

835
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: I believe in a decade, so it's been a while.

836
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 1: So these are popular team. Bears are a very popular

837
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: team in the UK. That's a fun matchup.

838
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 4: I like it.

839
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: We got we gotta get to the Hot Toddy. I

840
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: guess we're going to see your team, you know, if

841
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: we were picking one. I don't know if we're going

842
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: to any of these, but I feel like if we

843
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: were going to one, we're probably aiming for that Jets game.

844
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 3: They do get Aaron Rodgers, you get you know in

845
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 3: theory JJ McCarthy, that's another rookie.

846
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 4: And I think.

847
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers versus Sam Darnold at the Hot Toddy, pinch me.

848
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 4: I've woken up and gone to have.

849
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 3: I think they're trying to squeeze least one win here

850
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 3: for the Jaguars based on the opponent, and because you know,

851
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 3: they only have seven games in Jacksonville, so I feel

852
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 3: like a home game.

853
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 4: Am I crazy? I feel like they play well over there.

854
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: They've been good overall. Last week, last year, yeah, last year,

855
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: turned their season around really at least for a while

856
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: until until it didn't. They you know, reached the new

857
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: stadium deal, which I was wondering how that would affect London,

858
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: but as stipulated and it's not completely agreed to, there's

859
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on. But they still

860
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: be coming to London one game a year. I don't

861
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: think they'll be coming to anymore, or at least according

862
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: to that deal, that they'll be still planning to do

863
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: the one game in London. Uh even when that starts,

864
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,959
Speaker 1: which won't be for another five years.

865
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 4: You'll be kind of an awesome move.

866
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 2: If Shotkun's Sun still had the neck brace in October.

867
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 4: You got to lean into it. I think he I

868
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 4: think that'd be incredible.

869
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: Or maybe even like maybe he's more injured, maybe he's

870
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 2: in the you know, the old what's funnier or more

871
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: pathetic than the neck brace whenever someone's in the full

872
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: body cast, when you have it on the arms and

873
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 2: the legs and you're in the wheelchair, you're just a

874
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 2: human disaster and stuff ramp it up. And finally, the

875
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 2: international game in Germany this year in Munich is.

876
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 4: Against the Panthers, so.

877
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: They get a stand alone game.

878
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 2: They do, they get I guess they give them that,

879
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: yet keep on, they bury the Panthers somewhere in Eastern

880
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 2: Europe and uh and and they get they do get

881
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 2: a nine thirty am Eastern Germany game. So Okay, I

882
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 2: didn't know that. I didn't realize that. So so they can.

883
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 2: So let me just walk back what I said a

884
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: little bit earlier, like they didn't get nothing, you know

885
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 2: what I mean. They got, Oh, we're sending you, we

886
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 2: are And imagine the phone calls like no, no, no,

887
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: you can't be upset. We're sending you to Germany. That's

888
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 2: an incredibly important and ferociously growing territory for US, and

889
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: we've chosen you, mister Tepper, to represent us there. So

890
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: they're covered a little bit there. That gives them a

891
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 2: little bit of back end coverage from this perspective.

892
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 3: Also, I mean, that's how you grow a German fan base.

893
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: There could be a bunch of seven to nine year

894
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 3: old first time football observers and they fall in love

895
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: with the Panthers, unknowing of what state they sit in

896
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 3: the NFC South at the moment.

897
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll be much better. It does make me think

898
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: about the Germany game last year, though I know there

899
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: was two. One of them was called Pats. But I

900
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: saw the little the graphic for this one, you know, Giants,

901
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: and I'm excited. Those three London games and the Germany game.

902
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: They're all our NFL Network games. That's our time to shine.

903
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: But I remember the graphic for last year's game in

904
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: Germany and it was Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes and

905
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: in this time it was you know, Bryce Young and

906
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence. And I actually had to google because I'm like,

907
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: that's probably Dexter Lawrence, but I'm not really sure what

908
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: his face looks like. He's he is the best player

909
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 1: on the Giants, and it was kind of a beefy face,

910
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: but I had to make sure it was Dexter Lawrence.

911
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 1: It was Dexter Lawrence.

912
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 4: Nice. Well done, by the way, Yes, good point. Mark.

913
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 2: Because these European football fans, they are they have long memories.

914
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that the Bears are a popular team.

915
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: The Bears have done like nothing in forty years. But

916
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: a certain age of a football fan that came up

917
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 2: in the in the mid eighties, when the NFL's first

918
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: started trickling through and getting across the sea. That's why

919
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: there's a lot of Marino and dolphin fans like Handsome Hank,

920
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 2: And then there's a lot of people are like my

921
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: favorite players, Refrigerator Perry.

922
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 4: What a specimen nut Perry was over there? So that

923
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense.

924
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god, from one yard out, why didn't Walsh

925
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 2: a python get the ball? All right, let's check out

926
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 2: the holiday games back here in the States. Thanksgiving twenty

927
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 2: twenty four, can't wait, maybe my favorite holiday outside of Christmas.

928
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: Love Thanksgiving November twenty eighth. We got Bears lines in

929
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 2: the early game. And again there's you know, Marky, there's

930
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure on the Bears not to suck

931
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 2: when as we go through these island games here on

932
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 2: schedule release day, because if the Bears are fun and

933
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 2: Williams is ahead of pace and I did see. We

934
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 2: had our first trope alert around a rookie quarterback that

935
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 2: popped up on social media earlier today, some type of

936
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 2: beat report. I don't think it was a beat report.

937
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,439
Speaker 2: It might have been a TV reporter. I actually don't

938
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 2: know who it was. I think he was a fan

939
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: more or less a fan account was It said I

940
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 2: know I shouldn't say this, but Caleb Williams as he's

941
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: just throwing warm up tosses on you know, Slants, is like,

942
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 2: he looks so comfortable, he's ready for this, Like ope, alert,

943
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: Holy God, can we just let the guys get a

944
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 2: little more deep into the summer at least before we

945
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: start with that business anyway, Bears Lions on CBS, and

946
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 2: then you have Giants Cowboys, And I'll be fair here,

947
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 2: you know, I try to be positive about the g Men,

948
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 2: but we need the Giants not to be one of

949
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 2: the worst teams in the league, which they could be.

950
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 2: That game, of course, is always going to be in Dallas,

951
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 2: so that game could be a dog potentially, and then

952
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 2: the Thursday Thanksgiving night game Dolphins versus Hackers. We're outside

953
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 2: of the Super Bowl September Dolphins at this stage, so

954
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: the idea is this game in Green Bay. Yes, I'm

955
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 2: a little nervous about the Miami Dolphins in late November

956
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: giving us a show, but maybe this.

957
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 3: Year is different, or or it's a way to show

958
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 3: us that, like in the fridge or that temperature bay,

959
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 3: they can survive. But this slate throws me just a

960
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 3: little bit because I think I feel like, you know,

961
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 3: it's this always seemed like a place for like Ravens

962
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 3: Steelers or something that just like absolutely had, like you know,

963
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 3: conference title game implications. I just don't see that with

964
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 3: this slate. But I kind of love the idea that

965
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 3: we could get a really spicy Bears team here, Giants

966
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 3: TBD and Dolphins Packers. Is uh, that's intriguing and it's

967
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 3: just a little atypical for Thanksgiving to me.

968
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 4: I do like sacking the Giants and the Bears both

969
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 4: to be good might be a lot, But if one

970
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 4: of those teams is feisty, then then I could live

971
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 4: with it.

972
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: I love Dolphins Packers. You're right though, I saw that

973
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, that is a It doesn't

974
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: feel like a Thursday night game, but it does are

975
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving night game. But Green Bay like Lambeau on

976
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Night. There is something spicy by that. And I

977
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: was thinking about the Giants Cowboy because they had this

978
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: game just two years ago. The Giants were pretty good

979
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: two years ago. But this is usually the most watch

980
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: game of the year. Is that game or it's the

981
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: lie the two most watch games of the year Our

982
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: Lions Early you know, Thanksgiving and then the next Cowboys won,

983
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 1: and it's like maybe they just feel like it's it's

984
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: team proof. You can you can throw anyone in there,

985
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: you throw in a big market or whatever. But it's

986
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: like people are watching that no matter what. I'm not

987
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm not turning it off.

988
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 2: If it's a blowout, maybe they should actually, you know,

989
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 2: because at this point they're like, we dominate the ratings

990
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: no matter what.

991
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 4: Let's put Panthers Jags in there and see what happens.

992
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 4: Kind of number we do.

993
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 3: Maybe that's yeah, that's a that's a bridge good concept

994
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 3: and I take that to the top of the network.

995
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm gonna say it. It is my favorite,

996
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: and that is the best holiday. It's past Christmas for

997
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: me now? Is that because my family leaves me like

998
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: three nights before Christmas and we have to pretend it's

999
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: Christmas the week?

1000
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 2: Greg Rosenthal, so whatever we saw, Hi, I feel like

1001
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 2: for you and Jeneral, it.

1002
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: Always was as a kid, we we always celebrated the

1003
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, it was Presence Day, but yes, Thanksgiving wins.

1004
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 4: They said President's Day.

1005
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, you celebrate the US President's on

1006
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 2: December twenty fifth.

1007
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 4: President Day.

1008
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 2: All right, let's check out Christmast further ado, somehow we

1009
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 2: made it happen because the NFL defeated days. Now Christmas

1010
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 2: falls on a Tuesday, I think Tuesday or Wednesday.

1011
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 4: It's a Wednesday.

1012
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 3: And in fact, to your point, like the one little

1013
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 3: nugget about the team that we want, like the Chiefs,

1014
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 3: who we're gonna they play on every day of.

1015
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 4: The week this season except for Tuesday. Every day of

1016
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 4: the week except for Tuesday, I read. I mean, if

1017
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 4: you go look at it, because this game seals it.

1018
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: But well they don't play out of Friday though, but yeah,

1019
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: but close, there's that one Friday game.

1020
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 2: Anybody else that gets funny Like when we were kids,

1021
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 2: like every game was on Sunday and maybe one Monday

1022
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 2: night game. And now you have the defending champion playing

1023
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 2: what six days a week?

1024
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 4: Greg they play on blacks, Oh my god, they do.

1025
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm so they play.

1026
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 4: Every day of the week except for Tuesday. Like that's

1027
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 4: never happened to an NFL team in the history of

1028
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 4: our of the earth.

1029
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: Never.

1030
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 2: You just laid out another challenge for Mike North in

1031
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 2: the Park Avenue, like how can we make ca we

1032
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: get all seven they'll do it.

1033
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: They'll figure it out. They got the Black Friday Game.

1034
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: They really you know, it's not quite to the level

1035
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: of NBA where like the players like if Lebron or

1036
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: Curry's on, it's just like that's why, that's why they

1037
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: talk about them so much. That their games just like

1038
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: do double other games. But Mahomes and the Chiefs are

1039
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: kind of like that now that they're just like, anytime

1040
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: we need a big spot like Amazon, tell us the

1041
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: one thing you want the most this year, we want

1042
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes on that Black Friday game. I swear, I

1043
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: bet bet that was it. And it's like, okay, we

1044
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: can make all that.

1045
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 4: And by the way, I hope, I hope you the listener.

1046
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 2: Have the financial wherewithal to have multiple streaming options because

1047
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: it continues to build up what you need to watch

1048
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: all these key games.

1049
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 4: Because the Christmas games this year are on Netflix. That's

1050
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 4: a new.

1051
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 3: One, and the next two years also they would get

1052
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 3: for that.

1053
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: They're great.

1054
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 2: So the Christmas Day games, which again is a Wednesday,

1055
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 2: but now football's played on Wednesdays. Chiefs versus Steelers one

1056
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 2: pm Eastern, and then you have Ravens versus Texans gorgeous

1057
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 2: four thirty pm Eastern. A little bit surprised that they

1058
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 2: don't have a Christmas night game.

1059
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: I wonder why Wednesday. I think that's why even two.

1060
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: I saw that there was two. I felt like that's

1061
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,280
Speaker 1: a stretch, just because.

1062
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 3: I think it's because you had these but these teams

1063
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 3: mishmash and play each other the Saturday before, so you'd

1064
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 3: have to get another two teams.

1065
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 2: Right, because the turnaround is so brutal, you have to

1066
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 2: at least do an earlier game to do a primetime game,

1067
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 2: which you can't give all these I guess you could

1068
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 2: figure out a way. What I'm curious what the Ravens

1069
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 2: and Texans have the week after Christmas? Right, but it's

1070
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 2: after byes, so they're both playing, so that that is

1071
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 2: tough Jesus, I mean that is.

1072
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: That's tough. So we had Puka Akua on NFL Network.

1073
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm using the the NFL network. We and he said

1074
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: they asked him what he thought about the schedule, and

1075
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: he said, all I look for is that is the

1076
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: Thursday night games, because it's like that's the that's the

1077
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: weeks you have to sort of almost plan ahead to

1078
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: prepare my body and that's just going to be a

1079
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: totally crazy different week than any other week. That's on

1080
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: the player's minds first and foremost.

1081
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 4: Think about that. Think about the by the end of the.

1082
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 2: Regular season, the physical toll of these games and these

1083
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 2: these two teams, I mean four teams playing on Wednesday,

1084
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 2: that they then have to turn around and I'd have

1085
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 2: to go before I kind.

1086
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: Of well, they go Saturday, they go Saturday to Wednesday.

1087
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: So it they those four teams. As Mark pointed out

1088
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,439
Speaker 1: that that weird Saturday I was talking about before that's

1089
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: now going to be on major networks. Those teams will

1090
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,439
Speaker 1: then flip and also play on Wendes.

1091
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 3: Think about this though, because I mean, you know, this

1092
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 3: isn't huge to us, but even from like a fantasy angle,

1093
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 3: if the game is on Wednesday versus even Thursday or

1094
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 3: the next Sunday, there's a handful of players that might

1095
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 3: be like, well, I could have played on Sunday, but

1096
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 3: I can't get out there on Wednesday. And there's teams

1097
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 3: that don't even really add a lot of like schematical

1098
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 3: intricacies for Thursday night games, or don't even practice they

1099
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 3: just do a walkthrough. So it kind of truncates everything

1100
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 3: in a way that we haven't really seen outside of

1101
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 3: that Raven Steelers Wednesday game during Corona when half the

1102
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 3: Broster's route with Corona.

1103
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: Now, the flip side is that's like Fantasy playoffs, and

1104
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: you got people who like their dfs and they like

1105
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: watching the games for gambling reasons or whatever, and that's

1106
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: kind of fun to add an extra day of that,

1107
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, and don't Saturday and add the Wednesday of that.

1108
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 2: I'm glad we're talking about this though, because if you

1109
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 2: really want to dig in and like, what does matter

1110
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 2: in the middle of May when you look at these schedules,

1111
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 2: the turnarounds and which teams have these brutal turnarounds does matter?

1112
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 2: So And I'm citing because you know Florio, I mean,

1113
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 2: how many he's written, probably fifty five articles today about

1114
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 2: the schedule he has won. Here he mentions that there

1115
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 2: was a rule for many years that the NFL acquired

1116
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 2: teams to play only once per year with a four

1117
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 2: day turnaround. They got rid of that before last season,

1118
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 2: and now multiple teams play multiple games with only three

1119
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 2: days off between games.

1120
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 4: This year, thirteen teams do it twice.

1121
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 2: So the Jets that is a flip side of having

1122
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 2: all that, you know, the spotlight on you is that

1123
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 2: you have a lot of short weeks. The Jets, the Niners,

1124
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, Rams, Bengals, Browns, Dolphins, Cowboys, Giants, Bears, Steelers,

1125
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 2: the Ravens, and the Texans all have multiple games with

1126
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 2: only three days off.

1127
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: Basically last year's playoff teams plus the Giants and the

1128
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: Giant those are all good teams.

1129
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 2: So the two New York teams and then playoff teams,

1130
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 2: so you know, you could you could kind of figure

1131
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 2: that out. For Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Houston, one short week

1132
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 2: happens between Sunday and Thursday, and the their lands on

1133
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 2: US Saturday to Wednesday for Christmas. The Chiefs also have

1134
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 2: a five day turnaround to Black Friday and a four

1135
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:11,320
Speaker 2: day turnaround between Saturday, December twenty first and Wednesday, December

1136
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 2: twenty fifth. There are studies that the league has done

1137
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 2: that short week football injury rate is not higher. But

1138
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 2: you also listen to the players and they and as

1139
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 2: you just said, they have to wrap their head around

1140
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 2: it and plan and be prepared mentally as well as physically,

1141
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 2: because it's very challenging, all right, anything else, guys, before

1142
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 2: we do a little news and say goodbye, anything about

1143
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 2: the schedule that jumps out to.

1144
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: We get Russell Wilson returning to Denver's week two if

1145
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 1: he make if he has a job. I did think

1146
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: like the teams that and this is more of a

1147
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: schedule thing, if you were ever going to try to

1148
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: get into this schedule of like what's helpful. I feel

1149
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: like the team's divisions that play the NFC South, that's helpful.

1150
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: So the NFC East plays the NFC South or vice versa,

1151
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: that that's helpful. The AFC West, the Chiefs. The Chiefs

1152
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: to me have one of the even though they have

1153
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: the quick turnaround and they have the first place schedule,

1154
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: they actually have one of the easiest schedules because I

1155
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: think that division's pretty lame, and they play the NFC

1156
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: South out of division, So you know, did the victor

1157
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: go the spoils? I guess Chiefs.

1158
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 4: We also get Chiefs Niners week seven in that four

1159
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 4: to twenty five slot, so not everything's on prime time.

1160
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see that one.

1161
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: That's good. That's fun.

1162
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 2: Let's see the NFL research department. Who I am, as

1163
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 2: you boys are quite fond of.

1164
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 4: They have.

1165
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 2: Some great tidbits in their schedule released research packet. They

1166
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 2: take a look at They have a whole section.

1167
00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 4: Here on revenge. Throw some revenge games at you. You'll

1168
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 4: love revenge.

1169
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 2: Right, this is where Chris's eyes would especially glaze over.

1170
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 4: Let me see, let me see if I can find this.

1171
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 2: Let's take a break real quick, and then I'll find this,

1172
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 2: and then we'll hit a little bit of news and

1173
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 2: say goodbye.

1174
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 4: Be right back.

1175
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 2: All right, we are back as promised. And I know

1176
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 2: people were just.

1177
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 4: They couldn't.

1178
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they wanted to respect the sponsors, so they

1179
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 2: didn't fast forward through the commercials. But it must have

1180
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 2: felt like an endless weight to get to the to

1181
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,919
Speaker 2: the top ten revenge games of twenty twenty four.

1182
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: I want to hear them. I guys ready that the

1183
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: rust I mentioned has to be on there. I spoiled

1184
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: one of them.

1185
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure.

1186
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 2: Etp give me some like revenge background music. Okay, all right,

1187
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley versus the Giants, saqua and you know what

1188
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 2: I'm sick of, like being critical of the Eagles and

1189
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 2: taking a little break from that.

1190
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 4: But also Saquon did not cover himself in glory.

1191
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 2: He was sitting courtside at Sixers games during that Sixers

1192
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 2: Knicks series. It's like he was like trying to taunt

1193
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 2: Giants fans because some Giants fans were mean to him

1194
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 2: on Twitter. Buddy, just you know what, live along and

1195
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 2: prosper my friend Star Wars reference. Just you know, have fun,

1196
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 2: enjoy yourself. You don't need to tweak Giants fans. They

1197
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 2: didn't want you to leave. That was management that decided

1198
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 2: to sign Daniel Jones. Bizarre anyway, saquon Giants week seven

1199
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 2: and eighteen, we mentioned Russell Wilson at the Broncos Week two.

1200
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 4: He throw magical, He.

1201
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 2: Turns into twenty fourteen Russell Wilson and lights up Sean

1202
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 2: Payton for four seventy and four touchdowns.

1203
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: That's like legit revenge. That's a real revenge game if

1204
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: it is but dark.

1205
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 3: But Russell Wilson was like, if you have to come

1206
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 3: from the angle that Russell Wilson was done really wrong

1207
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 3: by the Broncos.

1208
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 4: Like it.

1209
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 3: He didn't come in there and shine and then was

1210
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 3: ingloriously cut. It was like a disaster that they had

1211
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 3: to to walk away from.

1212
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 4: No, I don't know.

1213
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: Him and his coach didn't get along. His coach showed

1214
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: him up a little bit.

1215
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 4: You know.

1216
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 2: They were the late season benching, which was financially justifiable,

1217
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 2: but was also you know, for a guy of Wilson's

1218
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 2: stature in the league was it was a tough one

1219
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 2: to swallow. He was released. I'm just looking at this

1220
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 2: written down. It's still crazy when you look at it.

1221
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 2: Wilson was released after two seasons into a five year,

1222
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 2: of two hundred and forty five million dollar contract he

1223
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 2: signed in twenty twenty two. Stefan Diggs versus the Bills

1224
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 2: in Week five.

1225
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 4: I'm sure he's gonna want to have many catches in

1226
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 4: that game. We'll see if he can get open still.

1227
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins at Vikings in Week fourteen. Aaron Jones versus Packers,

1228
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 2: Week four and seventeen.

1229
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 4: Derek Carr versus the Raiders.

1230
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: Oh, I kind of like that.

1231
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 4: That's good. Well that's in week seventeen. Let's see where

1232
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 4: Derek Carr exists in our life at that point. That's fair,

1233
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 4: that's fair.

1234
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: It could be Spencer Rattler versus the Raiders.

1235
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 4: All Right, this one, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna

1236
00:59:58,520 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 4: swing by the U.

1237
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna swing by the research department to say we

1238
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 2: need to remove this one. Calvin Ridley versus the Jaguars.

1239
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 2: I can't, I can't go there.

1240
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1241
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: They just needed a round ten number. Let's get Jakobe

1242

Speaker 4: Wait, what order is this list in that's not buried below?

1253
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 4: Derek Carr versus the Raiders.

1254
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,000

01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: Hell, yeah, okay, Rams.

1258
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 4: You know, Devin White versus the Bucks.

1259
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: Ravens tox somesh on on Devin White back in the day.

1260
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: So that's real revenge.

1261
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 4: Ravens versus Bengals. Geno Stone versus the.

1262
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 2: Raven Chiefs at Bills twenty twenty two AFC Divisional Round rematch.

1263
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 4: We're losing. Momentum Ravens versus Steelers, Patrick Queen. Patrick Queen

1264
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 4: goes and makes a ton of money and it's his

1265
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 4: revenge game.

1266
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 2: And finally Marky me arc Jerry Judy versus the Biancles.

1267
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 3: Me Ork, I don't Jerry Judy to me? Is like

1268
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 3: if like the Broncos won that one.

1269
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: See they they clearly are focused on players that change

1270
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: teams this last year. Yeah, but I'll circle another one

1271
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: for you. Week thirteen, Danny Boy, Yeah, Gino Smith at

1272
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, let's go.

1273
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 4: Okay's got that? I buy?

1274
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 2: That feels like the water is way under the bridge

1275
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 2: at this point, but it's fine. It could probably replace

1276
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Geno Stone versus the Ravens. I think it could probably

1277
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 2: edge out.

1278
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: In met life Gino shows you proud of me?

1279
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 2: No, Dad, I could probably. I know this sounds crazy, Greg,

1280
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 2: but I could probably. Not one Jets fan has ever

1281
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 2: thought to themselves if only we had Gino Smith this

1282
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 2: whole time?

1283
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 4: All right?

1284
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 2: News Jared Goff, Yes, the Lions have six primetime games.

1285
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 4: How about that?

1286
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 2: And Jared Goff will be the quarterback if the fates allow,

1287
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 2: and he's going to be the quarterback there for multiple

1288
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 2: years to come. Because right after we finished recording and

1289
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 2: I thought, I thought we declared vengeance, by the way,

1290
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 2: the whole industry to do this. But not an hour

1291
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 2: after we left the studio on Monday, GoF and the

1292
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 2: Lions four year, two hundred and twelve million dollar contract

1293
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 2: extension got out there. He was heading into the final

1294
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 2: year of a four year extension. He originally signed with

1295
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 2: the Rams back in twenty nineteen, traded, of course, to

1296
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 2: the Lions in twenty twenty one. Listened to this show

1297
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 2: at that time, listened to anything at the time. It

1298
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 2: was widely assumed that GoF was a bridge to whatever

1299
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 2: came next to quarterback for the Lions and nothing more

1300
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 2: than that. But instead GoF returned to playing at a

1301
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 2: high level like the early days with the Rams and

1302
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 2: became a beloved figure in Detroit, almost the rare Greggie

1303
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 2: underdog figure for a guy that was a number one

1304
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 2: overall pick who had been to a Super Bowl before

1305
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 2: he got to Detroit. So now he is amongst the

1306
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 2: highest paid players in football. He will receive one hundred

1307
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 2: and seventy million and guaranteed money on this new deal,

1308
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 2: contract runs through twenty seven, an option to remain with

1309
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 2: the team through twenty eight. It's a remarkable comeback story

1310
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways, a unique one because the

1311
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 2: circumstances are so different than a typical comeback story. But

1312
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 2: it is a comeback story. Don't get it twisted.

1313
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. There isn't quite a perfect comp to

1314
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: anything like this happening in NFL history, partly because we've

1315
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: never had these sort of contracts, but a player that

1316
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 1: was traded as a distressed asset, where goff last contract,

1317
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: which was very similar, I've actually believe depends on how

1318
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: you slice it up. I think the numbers are a

1319
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: little fluffed up. But there's one way to look at it.

1320
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: With the new money that he's like the second highest

1321
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 1: paid quarterback in new money per year average. And that

1322
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,479
Speaker 1: was what he was when he signed the huge deal

1323
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 1: with the Rams, that he was the second highest paid quarterback,

1324
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: and that contract proved to be so bad that they

1325
01:04:56,080 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: had to trade him essentially as a like with negative value.

1326
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: And yet here he is just a few years later

1327
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: signing the equivalent to that contract. Again, it's remarkable. Basically

1328
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: the first three years of this are more or less guaranteed,

1329
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: so he he is locked in at least three twenty

1330
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: twenty six, which and for huge, huge money.

1331
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think, like you always wait a couple

1332
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 3: of days to find out like if there's Fugezi elements

1333
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 3: to some of these deals. Like it's a lot of

1334
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 3: real money that he is getting, and I mean it

1335
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 3: is interesting to see what happens with him the player.

1336
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 3: But in twenty twenty six, he has like a nearly

1337
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 3: seventy million dollar cap hit, So I mean it's it's

1338
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 3: just like it, I think. But in general with the cap,

1339
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 3: like these deals don't concern you the way that they

1340
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 3: would have in the past.

1341
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 4: There's just a way to get through these.

1342
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 3: But this is like not they this is full belief

1343
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 3: in a player that the general manager knew going in

1344
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 3: and like took a chance on. And even at the draft,

1345
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 3: it's like the roster loves him, the town loves him.

1346
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 3: He's getting paid, and it's one of the it's one

1347
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 3: of the better stories because you're right, Dan, like I

1348
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 3: used to make I used to just use words to

1349
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 3: describe Jared Goff as one of the most dull to

1350
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 3: the eyes quarterbacks around and he's completely transformed the way

1351
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 3: that we look at him over the past two seasons.

1352
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: Can I have like a medium hot take on this,

1353
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: Like this contract might not be great, Like even in

1354
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: a best case scenario, we are in this weird spot

1355
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: where like the top thirteen or fourteen quarterbacks all get

1356
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: to be about the highest paid quarterback in the league

1357
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: for a little while, but they're not even Like the

1358
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: fact that Jared Goff essentially is getting the same contracts

1359
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: as Joe Burrow and Josh Allen and stuff, and think

1360
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: he's nowhere near as good a player, Like that's that's

1361
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: not that helpful to the Lions. I don't think you

1362
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: want to. You maybe just don't have a choice. But

1363
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: like he's significant, Like his numbers are very poor against pressure,

1364
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 1: they always have been. He needs things to be right.

1365
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: He's somewhere in like the eight to twelve range, and

1366
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: that's great. They he stabilized them. He's perfect for them.

1367
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: But like just as a pure like analytical numbers thing,

1368
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: like it's not great for them that they basically have

1369
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: to give him Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow's contract when

1370
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: he's nowhere near as good as those players. I mean, Kelly,

1371
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: it's worth noting, right.

1372
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 2: I mean, who's the big the biggest winner or all

1373
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 2: these quarterbacks that are better than him? Like right, Like,

1374
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 2: well they just raised the floor. So if you're now

1375
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,439
Speaker 2: I eight even feels strong. I like golf a lot,

1376
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 2: but I feel like, and we'd have to do and

1377
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 2: we'll do this exercise, We'll do little Dalton scale at

1378
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 2: some point this offseason. But I would say he's in

1379
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 2: that ten to twelve range maybe, And and if he's

1380
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 2: getting paid this outrageous sum, that just lifts it up

1381
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 2: for everybody else. I feel like, ultimately, though, in a

1382
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 2: lot of ways, like the Lions were in a tough

1383
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 2: spot because what are you gonna do? You're gonna play

1384
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 2: hardball with GoF You're gonna move on from golf like

1385
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 2: you're gonna or are you gonna try to keep this

1386
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 2: the ship which is running on very the fuel is

1387
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 2: like high octime, high octane, good vibes in Detroit and

1388
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, a lot of feeling about this.

1389
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 4: This could be the year.

1390
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 2: Hey the quarterback, you heard it, You heard those fans

1391
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 2: hens of that, hundreds of thousands of Detroit or is

1392
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 2: chanting his name. It's they overpaid, I'm sure, but if

1393
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 2: if you're a quarterback that could play at a high

1394
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 2: level in that offense, there are worse ways to spend

1395
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 2: your money.

1396
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 3: I also like the Lions are, and not like in

1397
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 3: an annoying way that I think, like the Eagles get

1398
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 3: on your radar, Dan obviously, but like they just kind

1399
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 3: of Brad Holmes and the whole front up, they do

1400
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 3: things their own way, and they kind of they believe

1401
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 3: what they believe and they've been proven correct building this team,

1402
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 3: and it's like they got this done before, like Dak

1403
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 3: Prescott gets paid or too.

1404
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 4: I mean there's other quarterbacks sitting out there.

1405
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 3: There's a Trevor Lawrence sitting out there and other dudes

1406
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 3: Jordan Love where it's like these contracts are should have

1407
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 3: happened in some cases, I think twos is a is

1408
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 3: a mysterious one. How to handle that, But like now

1409
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 3: it adds like a little heat to all of those

1410
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 3: deals as well.

1411
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 2: By the way, it's the coverage of the Philadelphia Eagles

1412
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 2: that I have a problem with, not the Eagles themselves.

1413
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 3: Well, but I mean when they're like the Eagles think

1414
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 3: differently It's like, I think the Lions think differently, but

1415
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 3: it's not on everyone's radar because they're probably closer to

1416
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 3: being America's team than the Cowboys for many.

1417
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 4: And one other transaction.

1418
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 2: Marquez Valdez Scantling, formerly of the Chiefs who won a

1419
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, made a few plays there on the way

1420
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 2: to the Lombardy has signed with the Bills. And you know,

1421
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 2: we did that exercise a couple of maybe last week

1422
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:48,719
Speaker 2: looking at some position groups and I pulled the Bill's

1423
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 2: depth chart and trying to make sense of it in

1424
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 2: a post Digs world, And yeah, MVS is just like

1425
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 2: yet another guy in that room.

1426
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 4: It's you take a look at this Bill's depth right now.

1427
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 4: This is listen.

1428
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 2: We're putting a lot of faith in Josh Allen. The

1429
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 2: offensive line is good, and the running back broke out

1430
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 2: last year, James Cook. So we're not gonna say the

1431
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 2: Bills are gonna have stroke struggle scoring points.

1432
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: But he's probably their wide receiver for although I think

1433
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: he actually adds some value just because they didn't really

1434
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: have like an outside burner.

1435
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 2: Usually he keeps on signing with the right quarterbacks. I'll

1436
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 2: get I have to give MBS that.

1437
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: He's usually good for like four hundred yards in the

1438
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: regular season, but then suddenly it's the AFC Championship game

1439
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: and he's like two for seventy five with a game

1440
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 1: winning play, and so maybe he'll keep that going. But yeah,

1441
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 1: your your depth chart would be what there's no one.

1442
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 2: This is awesome. They are the just the guy all stars.

1443
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 2: Here we go. Curtis Samuel, I know we like him.

1444
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 2: We got the rookie second round pick, Kean Coleman, who

1445
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:52,599
Speaker 2: knows what he's going to give you a year one,

1446
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 2: you got Khalil Shakir. You have you have Chase Claypool's

1447
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,759
Speaker 2: in the building. You have kJ Hamler in the building.

1448
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 2: You have Andy Isabella in the building. You now have

1449
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 2: Marcuzveldez Scantling in the building. Mac Hollins is in the building,

1450
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 2: Quintes Cephas is in the building.

1451
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 4: What a motley crew. They just need to tell those

1452
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 4: guys the pop.

1453
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 3: It just reminds me of like the last team MBS

1454
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 3: was on a bunch of guys in the wide receiver room.

1455
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little better a little bit. Shakir is a

1456
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: nice player, Damuel's a nice player. They're a little similar though, But.

1457
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 4: They're leaning on a rookie to do a lot quickly too.

1458
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna lean on Dalton Cancada. I think they're hoping

1459
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: at least yeh.

1460
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 2: Finally, in the news, I don't know if you saw this,

1461
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:44,959
Speaker 2: but Tom Brady has come out and said he regrets

1462
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,879
Speaker 2: the Netflix roast mark that you attended last weekend.

1463
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,719
Speaker 4: He said that he on.

1464
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 2: Some level misread it and he didn't realize the effect.

1465
01:11:55,720 --> 01:12:00,080
Speaker 2: Let's see, he was on the Pivot podcast and he

1466
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 2: was upset about how it impacted his children, the people

1467
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 2: he cares about most in the world. So he has regrets,

1468
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 2: and I should I should throw out there that I

1469
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 2: was texting with a friend of the podcast, Nicki Glazer,

1470
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 2: who was the breakout star of the roast, and we

1471
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 2: were just commiserating about this. Nikki, who was on the

1472
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 2: show super Bowl week, had no connection to the sporting

1473
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 2: world and then shows up at this roast and her

1474
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 2: career goes through the stratosphere and becomes linked to Tom

1475
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 2: Brady kind of forever as a result.

1476
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 4: Can someone say sneaky back door flashpoint focus?

1477
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: Yes, I.

1478
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 4: Think so. She I mean, I mean.

1479
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 3: She noted to us at the Super Bowl and she

1480
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 3: said this since when people asked about you know, why

1481
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 3: she did the Roads, but that she had no connection

1482
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 3: football at all and was it was it was Taylor

1483
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 3: Swift that got her involved. And you know, she she

1484
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 3: wrote a lot of the her own stuff. She she

1485
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 3: went through a lot of her material on Stern that

1486
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 3: she didn't use. Got a little bit of help too.

1487
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 3: But like I think I texted you guys during the show,

1488
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 3: this was the runaway hit from the night. There was

1489
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 3: a lot of good stuff, but she was the runaway hit.

1490
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 2: But as for Tom Brady, like I mean, yeah, you

1491
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 2: see the reaction and you didn't want to do it,

1492
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 2: but you knew what was gonna come up.

1493
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 4: I would imagine topically during that during a rose.

1494
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: I listened to it, and I don't think he totally

1495
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:38,839
Speaker 1: had like wrapped his head around it for whatever reason,

1496
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 1: just that like he said, it affected his kids, and

1497
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: I guess he just like for some reason didn't connect

1498
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 1: the dots of like, oh, yeah, they're going to bury

1499
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 1: me related to my divorce and that that's gonna hurt

1500
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: my kids, he said. He said, the rest of it

1501
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: was fine. Everything was about me was fine. It was

1502
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: a fun night, Like I love comedy all this stuff. Like,

1503
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:01,759
Speaker 1: I don't think he even fully said that I regret

1504
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 1: doing it, but he he does regret that part of it.

1505
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,600
Speaker 4: Oh, I think he regrets doing it. Gregory, Yeah, I

1506
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 4: guess you're right.

1507
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't he said, he I wouldn't do that again

1508
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: because of the kids, and yeah, shout out. You know Nicky,

1509
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, the the AFC couldn't stop Tom Brady, but

1510
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 1: Nicki Glazer did, you know?

1511
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 2: And like, Nicky and I go way back, and we

1512
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 2: would joke about how like I was like a sports

1513
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 2: guy and she didn't know anything about sports and didn't

1514
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 2: care about sports. And then I said, isn't it ironic

1515
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 2: that like being involved with this sports event like changed

1516
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 2: your career forever and sent you into the stratosphere. She

1517
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 2: kind of had a monoculture moment out of it, which

1518
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 2: is just so crazy. But you know, Tom, I don't know. Listen,

1519
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 2: Tom lost thirty million on Crypto. Tom has made some

1520
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 2: some strange decisions in his life, and this is another one.

1521
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:00,720
Speaker 2: He's gonna fascinating guy to track. Now He's going to

1522
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 2: go into the Fox booth. Is that going to be

1523
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 2: a similarly similarly disastrous decision?

1524
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 4: We shall see a.

1525
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 1: Little bit of a like a wandering soul.

1526
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 4: I think, so, I think there's something going on there.

1527
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 1: But I do want to say, as much as you know,

1528
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 1: I love everything I've worked on, when it comes to

1529
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: the flashpoint focus, I do want to say, like, as

1530
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 1: executive producers, I would have thought if that was a

1531
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:28,560
Speaker 1: flashpoint focus now, we probably should have. We should have

1532
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: probably mentioned, as you're talking about Mark and I, yeah,

1533
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about you guys that what would you.

1534
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:37,959
Speaker 4: Have done differently? Greg, you tell us.

1535
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 2: I mean would usually it's not the gaffer's role to

1536
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 2: be sharing this, but go ahead.

1537
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: I would have maybe mentioned or said the word flashpoint

1538
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: focus at some point in the Nikki Glazer conversation.

1539
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:50,600
Speaker 2: No, I think Mark, I think I called it a

1540
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 2: uh sneaky back door flashpoint focus, which I think it was,

1541
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 2: And they have industry wise, they have backdoor pilots things

1542
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,679
Speaker 2: like that where it doesn't seem like it in the moment,

1543
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 2: but you look back and like, oh okay, and I

1544
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 2: see they had something cooking.

1545
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 4: The whole time. I knew what you were saying.

1546
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: I think up a sneaky backdoor flashpoint focused song with

1547
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: Las said, all right, good show.

1548
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 4: Get up. We'll be back on Monday.

1549
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 2: Oh before we say goodbye, Mark, Uh, do you want

1550
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:32,599
Speaker 2: to share with the audience why you weren't here on

1551
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 2: Monday's episode?

1552
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 3: I want to compliment uh some of our listeners because

1553
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 3: someone sent me a link to there he goes to flute.

1554
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 3: People were like, oh, what's the flute about? Because we

1555
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,760
Speaker 3: had talked about floutests and flutes during the you know,

1556
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 3: big Funk song. But someone connected the dots that I

1557
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 3: went to a Los Angeles Renaissance fair.

1558
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 1: Wait, how did someone who are the who is setting up?

1559
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 3: Because I think these are like the the It was

1560
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 3: a thread of people trying to guess and I was

1561
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 3: like stunned that someone pieced it together.

1562
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 4: Uh that in the LA region that they start? What

1563
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 4: the I don't know. It wasn't It wasn't like.

1564
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 1: This. This was on the Reddit board.

1565
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, like it was not.

1566
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 3: It was just someone pieced together and someone else like, Wow,

1567
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 3: that's a really interesting like theory or something. I was like,

1568
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 3: how did how did they possibly know that? But I

1569
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 3: went with some friends. I had never been to one

1570
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 3: in my life. I had no idea what it would

1571
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 3: be like. It was about ninety six degrees out with

1572
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 3: a burning sun. I just was happy to get out

1573
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 3: of there without a sunburn. But it was a it

1574
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 3: was an experience, and I made sure that no photos

1575
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:45,560
Speaker 3: leaked because I did. I was given a slight costume

1576
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 3: slash outfit to wear. It never arrived, it was It

1577
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 3: was sent to my building, but then was either stolen

1578
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 3: or the package was put somewhere in correct, so I

1579
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 3: had to buy something else on Hollywood Boulevard on the fly.

1580
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 4: And it was an absurdist looking thing that I'll have

1581
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 4: to share with the audience.

1582
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 3: I really don't even know if I have a photo,

1583
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 3: because like I said, it was ninety like eight degrees

1584
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 3: and this was like a furry like tunic that was

1585
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 3: so hot that I was dying.

1586
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 4: So it wasn't on me for long. But I will

1587
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 4: if I can find it. If I can find a photo,

1588
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 4: I will, out of honor, I will provide you.

1589
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 2: Wearing I like to picture furry tunic is probably what

1590
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,720
Speaker 2: I would have guessed. A veil of flowers and then

1591
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 2: like pantaloons and then kind of like moccasins that like

1592
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 2: kind of curled up almost like a like a like

1593
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 2: an elves.

1594
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 1: No I imagine like the puffy pirate shirt from Seinfeld, that

1595
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: sort of thing.

1596
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 3: It wasn't that furry, But like I made, I with

1597
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 3: a good attitude. I decided to not be like the

1598
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 3: only one not in our group dressed up.

1599
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 4: But there was there was a there was a limit

1600
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 4: to it to it, that is for sure. You know,

1601
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 4: I can't believe I'm telling you this. I could have

1602
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 4: said that the incredible story.

1603
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: No, I like this is the new Mark. He's yeah,

1604
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:07,640
Speaker 1: you're on a journey Mark and you're.

1605
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,440
Speaker 4: Going through like new adventures.

1606
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

1607
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 2: And you know, as as someone who is now you know,

1608
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 2: married for a long time.

1609
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 4: I just celebrated my twelfth anniversary.

1610
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 2: You know, the idea of not having to do things

1611
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 2: I don't want to do is something that I really

1612
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 2: one of the best, very best things about weddings. But

1613
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 2: you're not You're not there right now with your life.

1614
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 2: So but I'm I'm I'm hoping you made the most

1615
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 2: of an event.

1616
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 4: I would say this, it was definitely for adults. I

1617
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 4: would put it that way.

1618
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 3: It was not like there were some kids running around,

1619
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 3: but it was for adults in many ways, and I

1620
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 3: found that angle of it to be intriguing.

1621
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: I also believe that Mark is a man who does

1622
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: what he wants, and that you might not want to

1623
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: be dressing up in a furry tunic.

1624
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 4: Dan.

1625
01:19:56,720 --> 01:20:00,639
Speaker 1: I know I'm not, but I think Mark Mark probably

1626
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. If he did it, he wanted to on

1627
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:03,719
Speaker 1: some level.

1628
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm just gonna apply thank you. I

1629
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 4: was like I'm going to do.

1630
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:08,719
Speaker 1: It, and so naive.

1631
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 4: Greg. No, it was enjoyable, had a good time.

1632
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:15,760
Speaker 2: Maybe the Renaissance Fair is something because I could see Mark, you.

1633
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 4: Know, Mark pre spirit and he float around.

1634
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 2: I could like, I get picture Mark. Oh yeah, I'll

1635
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:25,839
Speaker 2: float around like the the fair grounds for a few hours,

1636
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 2: like on a Sunday.

1637
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

1641
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 4: It's like the roast was connected to our career on

1642
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 4: some level.

1643
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: I think roast was very normal. I'm not gonna a

1644
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 1: lot of people were at the roast.

1645
