Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hesas and I'm

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: joined by room filled Well. Here I was Mark Sesler,

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, and to my right for the very first time,

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: Colleen Wolf. Hey Dan, he has to say hi. First,

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: I can't, and you looked at me and then you didn't.

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: What up? Boys? You got thrown off? So thrown off

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: by Colleen being to my right. It's just kind of

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: a different spot. Colleen has always either been in the

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: west spot or the Mark spot. I can't step on

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: Wes's Hey Dan, Yeah, so I'm not gonna do it.

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: You tried to pressure me into it. I think that

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: is ever filled in for Greg before. I think I have,

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: but not here. Maybe not Greg. It's like a rock

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: that's been there since last basically exactly. Greg still uh

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: in the motherland, japan Land, not his native but his wife.

24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't believe she was born there, but her family

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: is from Japan. Maybe there is a link. There's a

26
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: strong link her family in that nation, strong enough that uh,

27
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: they go there on an annual basis, or at least

28
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: a bi annual basis. There was a photo. There was

29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: a photo on Facebook music is it's more and more ridiculous.

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: Time is he coming back? I think he's coming back?

31
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 1: But there was a photo. Japan's interesting, an interesting place.

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: A photo Greg posted of his his beautiful little girl

33
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: and then with his wife and then uh, their grandmother

34
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: or great grandmother. First time Uh that Ellis met the

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: great grandmother. A beautiful photo. But in the back is

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: a TV on and it's like a completely bonkers Japanese

37
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: game show. It's totally uncomfortable with us discussing this. I

38
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: predicted I just assumed that any um, any game show,

39
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: or really any television. That's my idea of Japanese television.

40
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: It's just bonkers, it's crazy. I would love to do

41
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: I would love to go there with you and to

42
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: see what happens. I would I would check out Japan.

43
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: What is the last non American country you visited? And

44
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not including Mexico or Canada rubbing his sing

45
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: right now. I was in the Dominican Republic for a

46
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: wedding and jets, so I've actually traveled abroad more recently

47
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: than anyone in this room. I wouldn't call that a

48
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: broad very cultured. This is the like in your mileth

49
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: south of Miami. It's in I think it's in between

50
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: Cuba and Florida. Essentially, good job. Give us closer to

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: Miami than the Dominican it who spread your wings? It's

52

56
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: we took directly from our friends over at the UH

57
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: around the NFL subreddit, which everyone should be checking out.

58
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: I think they have close to with one thousand UH

59
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: group members over there now. UH and we like to

60

67
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: take down the giant Apple Corp. I had my wife

68
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: look at the subreddit page simone, and she ought like

69
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: a first look, she was like, why are you in

70
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Wes and Dan writing so much on it? Because there's

71
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: these guess they're picking like icons are avatars of various

72
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: podcast members faces. But I had to explain to her

73
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: that we are not on there almost at all, other

74
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: than West West is West is a presence ambassador comment

75
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: about one today. UM. I showed it to my wife.

76
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: She didn't care. Well, there was a there was a

77
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: heavy level of not caring in my conversation too, but

78
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: there was a moment of interest quickly quickly, Mark quickly

79
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: not anyway. The the subreddit um did have the idea

80
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: and that we're going to actually talk about it today.

81
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: Delta Coder was the name of the the user on

82
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: reddit uh and the the idea was if you don't

83
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: have an NFL team, Um, you know, who would you pick?

84
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: And uh, perhaps we can help you choose a team.

85
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: So what we're gonna do is go around the old

86
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: horn here and each kind of nominated team that would

87
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: be a good team if you are whether it's overseas

88
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: and you're just getting into the game, or if you're

89
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: someone like Wes who uh you know, resigned as a

90
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: fan of a team and then maybe he's looking to

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: fall back and loves. You can find love again in

92
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: the NFL if you open up your heart. That heart

93
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: is open. Okay, good, all this is going to become

94
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: a Cardinals fan. I can sort of feel it happening.

95
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: There are some feelings there. There's a tingling sensation. And

96
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a one night stand you're talking

97
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 1: this is I'm not a one night stand kind of man,

98
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: damn it. Uh. So yes, we will, Uh we will

99
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: talk about that. We'll also do a bunch of news

100
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: and we also we'll have to make it. We're gonna

101
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: make a phone call at the end of the show,

102
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: uh to somebody who we should check in with. I'll

103
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: just leave it there, all right, sounds good? Uh? The

104
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: irishman behind the glass, how are you buddy? Doing great? Dan?

105
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: How are you? How was your weekend? Oh it's very nice.

106
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: Went to the bat in cages. Yeah, yeah, prepping for

107
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: the softball which I still have yet to hear about.

108
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: But you know, that's it's become. You know what's happening. Oh,

109
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: it's happening. It's happening. It's just I don't know the

110
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: the leadership above me. I can only do so much.

111
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: I have not. Um, I have not heard back yet

112
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: about the softball team that I'll be managing. Uh. This

113
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: is what my mother, as I used to say, and

114
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: I always sound it was kind of seems like a

115
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: overtly negative viewpoint in life. But no good deed goes unpunished.

116
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: What leadership you're talking about, like the civic organizers, It

117
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: sounds like you're talking in company, but in company shadowing

118
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: big figures that are responsible for kind of getting it

119
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: off the ground and then you know, essentially handing it off. Uh,

120
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: they have not handed it off yet. Here we are

121
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: in early April, so you know, I'm wondering what's going on.

122
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: Already came and on exactly so happening. I just want

123
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: to make sure I had missed try out try it's coming.

124
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: But all right, let's do some news show me the Money.

125
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: A little update on that. A lot of people were asking,

126
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: is show me the Money coming back? Actually no one

127
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: has asked. I've thought about bringing after, of course, successfully

128
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: bringing back the Dean Scream that was successful. Yeah, I'm

129
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna ride out the Dean Scream through

130
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: the political season at the very least, and then maybe

131
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: roll out show Me the Money. I mean, they're talking

132
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: about making a sequel to Jerry McGuire. There's whispers about

133
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: that on Twitter. Sounds you could be massively upstaged in

134
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: your attempt here. I think I think Colin Kaepernick is

135
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: trying to help you to bring back to show me

136
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: the money with his stance to look at you, Brendon,

137
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: pick up the chisels. Colin Kaepernick is still a member

138
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: of the forty Niners and there is a what amounts

139
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: to a stair down going on right now with the

140
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Reported over the weekend that the Broncos and

141
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: forty Niners have a deal in place, or something a

142
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: structure of a deal in place. The only thing left

143
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: is the money. Uh Kaepernick. Effective last week, He's eleven

144
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: point nine million dollar salary for the season is guaranteed.

145
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: John Elway and the Broncos don't want to pay him

146
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: that much. I think they're willing to pay seven million

147
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: from what we're hearing, and they and the Niners do

148
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: not want to take any of the money back, so

149
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: they guess the maybe Kaepernick takes a pay cut? Should

150
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick take a pay cut mark to get the

151
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: to get this thing done and start fresh, or is

152
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: it time to put your foot down and say no,

153
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm not taking a pay cut. Well, I mean my

154
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: take is I know he seemingly or definitely wants out

155
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: of San Francisco, but Kaepernick at this point is not

156
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: necessarily even a starting quarterback or guaranteed of starting more

157
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: than a handful of games the rest of his career.

158
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: So asking him to take a nearly five million dollar

159
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: pay cut, I think that would be a bad move

160
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: by his agent just to sit there and let that happen.

161
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: You've got to let this thing play out a little

162
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: bit more before you give up that kind of money.

163
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: He may never see that kind of money again. The

164
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: money is guaranteed. I mean, in the NFL, you get

165
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: players get cut all the time. Nothing's really guaranteed. I

166
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: don't know why he would give that up unless he

167
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: really desperately wanted to get out of San Francisco, because

168
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna be on the hook regardless to pay him,

169
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: whether they're paying him all of it and he's just

170
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: sitting on the roster, or they're paying some of it

171
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: and they're just picking up whatever is left over from

172
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: whatever team is gonna pay them pay him. So, I

173
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: mean they sort of the four point nine um they

174
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: that might be best case scenario for them. Well he does,

175
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: he is miserable. He does one out of San Francisco.

176
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: That's what the trade request was for. And you know

177
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: what else isn't guaranteed happiness? Why why be someone were

178
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: your miserable? You've made thirty million dollars. This isn't us

179
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: making whatever we're making, worried about losing five million dollars.

180
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: It's somebody with thirty million dollars already made. And to me,

181
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: don't be my opic, don't say, hey, I'm gonna be

182
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: stick with bad surrounding talent on in a franchise, lost

183
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: off confidence in me? Why not take the long view

184
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: and go to John Elway's franchise, which is run as

185
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: well as any franchise in the NFL. Turn your career

186
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: around in five million dollars will be nothing once you've

187
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: turned your career around and re established yourself. Let me

188
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: say this too, because it's important to have some context

189
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: about what even what the twelve million dollars salary or

190
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: eleven point nine whatever it is, that is not a

191
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: ton of money for the market for quarterbacks, where even

192
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: an average guy makes about fifteen the studs make twenty plus.

193
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: So to me, I'm starting and I know we should

194
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: have a ton of faith in Lway, even though I

195
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: don't know if he handled the brock Goss Wilder situation

196
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: the right way. He is really playing hardball here and

197
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: if he's not careful and this thing just never happens

198
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: because he wants to save the extra five million bucks.

199
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: Are you ready to go into the season. Is a

200
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champion be in with a a rookie

201
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: quarterback that's completely untested, or be Mark Sanchez who's a journeyman.

202
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: Let's face it, I mean that's that's running a pretty

203
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: big risk of blowing up your repeat attempt before whatever

204
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: started well, or see Colin Kaepernick, who now that it's

205
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: March or April, we think we you know, we we'll

206
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: go back. We just watched the Super Bowl game against

207
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens, you know downstairs, and that's a different player,

208
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: the player of last year. It's not worth the kind

209
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: of money he's guaranteed to make this year. But if

210
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: we talk about Colin Kaepernick wanting to go and be

211
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: happy and have the long view, I see where you're

212
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: coming from, West, But at the same time, it's for

213
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: someone that doesn't value you at your current cost. I mean,

214
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: he had Peyton Manning take a pay cut too, And

215
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: meanwhile the Mark Sanchez and the team they're starting, they're

216
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: doing things together, they're starting to go through stuff. You have, Marks.

217
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like time that Colin Kaepernick is wasting.

218
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: If he is going to make the jump and do

219
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: whatever is right for his career and himself, maybe how

220
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: about this. John Owah has evaluated all of these quarterbacks correctly,

221
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: starting with Peyton Manning last offseason, continuing through brock Oswaller,

222
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: and now with Sanchez and Kaepernick. He knows that they're

223
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: not the answer. They're not a solution. They're a patch

224
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: and he's got the strong enough roster. And if you're

225
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: a Patch, I wouldn't run to Denver with a five

226
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: million dollar pay cut. I would because it's a chance

227
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: to rejuvenate your career, resurrect your career. Moving on, Roger Goodell,

228
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: the commissioner of the NFL. UH, was that a town

229
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: hall meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguar season ticket holders. I

230
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: didn't think Rog was that plugged in. He's like going

231
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: to local town halls. Ye, maybe maybe soon. Uh. The

232
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: issue of well the playoffs be expanded came up, and

233
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: this was something that was a hot issue a couple

234
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: of years ago. Last season they tabled the issue. It

235
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: didn't even come up at the annual meeting this past March.

236
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: UH and Goodell had this to say, could you do it? Yes,

237
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: you could do it from a competitive standpoint. Our competition

238
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: committee said, we think we can do it properly. We're

239
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: still looking at the broadcasting side of it, and then

240
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: there's labor relations side of it too, which you have

241
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: to deal with with with the union. But it will

242
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: continue to get discussion. It will likely happen at some point,

243
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: but we want to be really cautious because we like

244
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: the balance we have, uh and so on and uh

245
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: to make guys, I love the way things are and

246
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: there is. NFL deserves credit for always looking to tweak

247
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: things and make the game better. Doesn't always work out

248
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: and making the game better, but they they don't just

249
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: hold things as they are forever. But thirty two teams teams,

250
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: six teams in each conference, six playoff teams on each side,

251
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: that to me works. I love it. Twelve teams make it.

252
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: Why change something that works? Your jets could have gotten in.

253
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: That's why. That's why. Here's the argument for it, because

254
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: it doesn't really change a whole lot if you think

255
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: about it, because there would still be four division winners

256
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: in each conference, and then they would just have three

257
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: wild card teams, so only one team would get that

258
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: coveted first round by so you add one more playoff game,

259
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: and then it's sort of like, I just don't think

260
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: it's fair when teams with double digit wins aren't getting

261
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: in and then there's team by default with five records

262
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: that are playing in the playoffs. Is not fair. It's not.

263
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: If you look at Goodell's full comments, it sounds like

264
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: he doesn't want it, but he's acknowledging that the owners

265
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: do so it may happen at some point, but he's

266
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: happy what the way things are. I mean, what is

267
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: not just likely but guaranteed as the playoffs are. The

268
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: playoffs are never going to contract. They're all it's likely.

269
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: It's it's fair to say they're likely going to expand

270
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: because that will happen at some point. Money. But you're

271
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: right if you look at what he's said in it there.

272
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: I almost think the headline is a little bit it's

273
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: over selling it a little bit, as West mentioned downstairs,

274
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: because he definitely talks about the competitive balance and the

275
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: fact that the way it is right now is very

276
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: attractive to a big chunk of the people in charge.

277
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: So you know that this has been on the table

278
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: for half a decade. It's not about to happen in

279
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: the next couple of months. Uh. Greg Hardy is out

280
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: of work, of course. A got a second chance with

281
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys last year after his ugly domestic violence incident,

282
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: and this week he had an interview is sit down

283
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: interview one on one. I believe the first time we've

284
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: seen this since all this stuff went down. With Adam

285
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Schefter of ESPN Uh, and he had some interesting things

286
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: to say, and I guess interesting is one way to

287
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: put it. Uh, disturbing is another way to put it.

288
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: But here is what he said when asked if he's

289
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: ever um been physically violent towards a women a woman.

290
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: I've never put my hand on any woman in my

291
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: whole entire life. No, sir, that's just not how we're raised.

292
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: As you can tell. Like I said again, it's the

293
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: Bible belt referring to where he grew up. It's just

294
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: something that's I wouldn't even say frowned upon, just something

295
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: that's non existent in most southern homes. Okay, So do

296
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: you think he's a sociopath? Do you think he like

297
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: does he just doesn't think that that happened. He perhaps

298
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: is delusional. And I think listen, if you turn on

299
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: any show right now, it's it's just it's Greg Hardy. Uh.

300
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: You know, everybody's getting up on the pulpit and coming

301
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: down at Hardy. I think we're all in agreement that

302
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: Greg Hardy's a goon and doesn't seem very bright either.

303
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: Let's just be honest about that. But so let's just

304
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this from a football aspect,

305
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: the design or the conceit of this interview. I would

306
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: think his agent was for Greg Hardy to be seen

307
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: in a better light, and it did not go over

308
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: that way. He I mean, he came out very poorly.

309
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: No one's gonna say he came off well at all.

310
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: And my question is, after after it didn't work out

311
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, did this potentially end his career? Was

312
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: it that bad an interview where teams are gonna be

313
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: totally scared off by this guy? I think it did.

314
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: And I think when he was asked, why are you

315
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: still unemployed? And he said, well, making mistakes and right

316
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: now having to learn from them. How are you learning

317
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: from mistakes? When as Michelle Beatle, I love her, she's

318
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: so awesome, she goes on her own network and says,

319
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: why did we give this guy a platform for a

320
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: redemption tour? And he used it to say basically, my

321
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: life has changed. I'm a changed man, but I won't

322
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: even admit what I did wrong. I'm gonna show no rewards,

323
00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: no contrition, no repentance, not even He's set up for

324
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: a redemption tour and he didn't take advantage of it.

325
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a redemption tour coming for

326
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 1: him no matter whether he gets on a team or not.

327
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: But in terms, I think we all agree about what

328
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: he's done and who he is. There's no real even

329
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: debate there in this room, but the idea of does

330
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: this hurt or end his career? I mean, if you're

331
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: going to put a player like this out there and

332
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: have him answer these questions, if you're his agent and

333
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: you're his group of people around him, are you gonna

334
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: go through some trial questions here? You're gonna respond? I mean,

335
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: his own words are the reason that he won't have

336
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: another job because of what he said. And you know,

337
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: he he goes and accuses Ray Rice of X, Y

338
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: and Z and calls himself anocent, innocent person. I mean,

339
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: this is it just feels kind of like the time

340
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: we live in as much as anything else. I mean,

341
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: he's he's made this bed for himself, like he has

342
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: he has to lay in it it. I hate cliches,

343
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: but I mean this is so true, and I hate

344
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: the fact that he's still talking about it, and that

345
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: he really is still given the opportunity to talk about

346
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: He is absolutely radioactive right now, and this made it.

347
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: It was already bad, and now I think it's even worse.

348
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: I would be stunned if he's on a team in September.

349
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: And beyond what happened from the domestic violence angle, we

350
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: gotta win till into his viewpoint of women. When he

351
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: shot out a shot off his mouth about Tom Brady's

352
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: wife and her sister. That's and by the way, Blake

353
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: Bortle's wife too. This is how he views women, all right.

354
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: So that's what's going on with Greg Hardy. See you later, buddy.

355
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: In other news, uh, Aldon Smith, who has had his

356
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: own problems off the field. Uh, he has a job.

357
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: He signed a two year deal with the Oakland Raiders.

358
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: Rap Sheet reported Monday that the deal is worth up

359
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: to nineteen point five million, with eleven million of bass

360
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: salary with the Raiders. Um that will be pro rated

361
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: for the games he's eligible for. Of course, he'll be

362
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: suspended for I believe roughly half the season. Uh for

363
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: a current running past running with the law, I believe

364
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: last August. So Alvin Smith back with the Raiders. It

365
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: was the only place he wanted to play. Uh. Do

366
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: you like deciding West? Yeah? I think it makes sense.

367
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: He won't be able to play until mid November. But

368
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: I think, to me, when I look at the difference

369
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: between a guy like Alden Smith and Greg Hardy is

370
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: to me it's remorse. And we live in a country

371
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: where you get second chances you have to take advantage

372
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: of and admit, look in the mirror, change your life.

373
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: And and from what the Raiders are saying, that's what

374
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: this guy is trying to do. I think it's one

375
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: thing to make mistakes that hurt yourself, and it's another

376
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: thing to make make mistakes that hurt other people. Well,

377
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, he was also nabbed with multiple d

378
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: u I s and that is that The reason that

379
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: he's not Josh Brent or someone else at this point

380
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: in our conversation is because he's lucky and so are

381
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: others that he didn't hurt anyone else. But secondly, like

382
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: he has in the Raiders owner Mark Davis and the

383
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: Davis family, someone that sees him as a family member.

384
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: Someone and you know, you thought this was the Niners

385
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: had this stance for a long time. They wanted to

386
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: see him through everything and it came to be too much.

387
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: And he's lucky that there's another team out there. That

388
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: is willing to embrace and give him this chance because

389
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: I think probably at least the vast majority of the

390
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: league would say no to him. I want to believe

391
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: that he changed, like I really do. I want to

392
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: see him succeed and learn, and I really hope he

393
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: does because honestly, it would be great for him, but

394
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: it would really be great for the Raiders too, because

395
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: I really like him. Khalil Mack preservant, I think that

396
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: could really help that defense. In other news, Lashawn McCoy

397
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: uh the bills running back the Philadelphia District Attorney's office

398
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: and now I know that no charges will be filed

399
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: in an alleged incident involving uh McCoy that resulted in

400
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: two injured off duty police officers. Officers in February and

401
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: news really stated there's not enough evidence to meet the

402
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: quote legal threshold to issue charges. What do you think about?

403
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: How is there not? There's a video of it. I mean,

404
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: these police, one of the police officers treat it for

405
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: a possible fractured skull. And all of this was over

406
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: champagne bottles at a terrible club, so to speak. In

407
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's Neck of the Woods. It is it's a it's

408
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: a terrible place. It's super corny and cheesy. And the

409
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: fact that they were there to begin with, they should

410
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: get in trouble for that alone. But this, this is unbelievable.

411
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw this, but the

412
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: Fraternal Order of Police sent out a letter after that

413
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: and it reads with some things that I'll show you.

414
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: But on the back there is a picture of the

415
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: Philadelphia District Attorney, Seth Williams with a giant cross around

416
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: his face like the Ghostbusters caps Seth, What's the deal?

417
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: So on it. He says that he caused Seth Williams,

418
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: a season ticket hunting district attorney who refuses to do

419
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: his sworn job. And he also told the cops that

420
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: you can bet he and his friends will go after

421
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: you if you are lucky enough to win the fight,

422
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: if you were in this situation in the future, especially

423
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: when when the National Democratic Convention comes to town. Um. Yeah,

424
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: And not to mention he has a point. If you

425
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: look at Seth Williams Twitter, which I you guys can

426
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: look it up online, he has all these pictures of

427
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: him and Eagles players Kelly. He always goes on the

428
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: radio station there. Yes, so you can tell that this

429
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: is a major, major thing in Philadelphia. Wow, I have

430
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: had a fractured school. Have you me too? Wait? Are

431
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: we said? Are we teasing the Fractured Skull podcast? The

432
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: Elephant Man. I looked like I had like an egg

433
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: that you would crack under my school. I got hit

434
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: in the head with a baseball bat. Feel it goes

435
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: from like the my eye all the way. It's like

436
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: cracked to the back of my school. And if I go,

437
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: if I like I'm doing a headstead or something, you

438
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: can see the crack in my head. It's so weird.

439
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: Or if I get what did that happen? I get

440
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: mad at like the crap that's kind of bad. Yeah,

441
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: wait when did that happen? Oh? I was like probably twelve,

442
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: and somebody was doing like a swing and just watched

443
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: they were practice swinging with an aluminum bat, and I

444
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: was like, hey, I'm just gonna you know, can you

445
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: hold up a second? And I don't think she heard me.

446
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: And she was one of the best hitters on the team,

447
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: and she went back and just cracked right into I'm

448
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: not letting my children out of tackle football. Fifteen years old. No, helmet,

Speaker 1: no helmet, knee to the hit, concussion, didn't feel concussed,

450
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,159

451
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: an inch between my skin and my skull, an inch

452
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,080

00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with that, but Lea Shawan McCoy

460
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: will not be facing charges. Finally, let's move off the

461
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: blotterer page. Big Ben Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers quarterback. While he's

462
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: had his issues as well, but let's talk about football

463
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: podcast he has. You know, Wes. I don't know if

464
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: anybody's noticed. West's body is tighter than it's been in

465
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: several years. It is great. He's fitting into clothes that

466
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: were in his closet for months and months. Um. He

467
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: is looking better than ever forty and feeling fresh right looking.

468
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: I bring that up because maybe Big Ben's on the

469
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: Chris Westling diet diet because he has lost fifteen pounds

470
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: on a quote high cardio workout plan. It's always been

471
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: a big boy as we know. Uh, but maybe he

472
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: got a little too big last year when he had

473
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries. He was not able to work

474
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: out at all. Really, So I don't know if the

475
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: team said, hey Ben, let's let's uh, you know, cut

476
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: back a little bit, or he made the decision to

477
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: limber up. He's getting a little older now he's thirty

478
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: four years old. He has shed fifteen pounds. West I

479
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: would like to drop some weight, So take me through

480
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: your plan for weight loss in two thout, I didn't

481
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: really have a plan, as you know, I tore my

482
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: rotator cuff. Yes, when I moved to l A, I

483
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: was in the best shape I've been in since my

484
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: mid twenties, and then I tore my rotator rotator cuff

485
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: plane softbot could not lift weights for a year and

486
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: a half. So I put on weight and now I'm

487
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: just lifting weights again and working out. I mean, you're

488
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: now almost exploding out of that shirt for different reasons.

489
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: What a body don't don't make Patrick jealous. I think

490
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: that's happened. You have made. This is gonna be on

491
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: Patrick's whiteboard. Dan has a new mailman, a new mail

492
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: person's body to, you know, take notes on and comment on. Well,

493
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Like West is right next to me

494
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: all the time, Patrick, I only get to see every

495
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: once in a while and on Facebook and Twitter. Anyway,

496
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: body update right now? Big Ben losing fifteen pounds. I mean,

497
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: like he's a huge dude, likes is that really him?

498
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: No matter what he weighs, it always looks like he's

499
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: got like three extra chins. It's like that's Promanti Brothers

500
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: right there. As of all the quarterbacks, a fat face.

501
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: You know, don't don't get personal just because he didn't

502
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: go to the Browns you had a chance to. I'm

503
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: just making an observation. I cannot think of another quarterback

504
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: that has at times, as you mentioned, multiple chins like

505
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: Big Ben. He really seems to fluctuate, become very puffy

506
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: and then go back into less puffy. Knows, fellow puffy person,

507
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to he's an everyman. Big Ben isn't every man? Okay, Well,

508
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: now we're starting to hone in on your definition of that.

509
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: Jeff Cumberland finally formula of the Jets. Comby has signed

510
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: a one year deal the Chargers. Godspeed, come be best

511
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: of luck to you. I like that. It's a good

512
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: landing spot for you to jump start your career. And

513
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: that's what's happening in the news. All right, let's get

514
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: into it. No sense wasting time. Uh. You know, if

515
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: if you didn't have a team, who would be a

516
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: good team to pick? Uh? In the NFL today? Um,

517
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: you know this is whether you're overseas or you're in America.

518
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: You just you know, I need a team to follow.

519
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: It's time I need a new team to follow. Maybe

520
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: maybe you divorced your former team like Chris Westling did.

521
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: But let's lay out some options to the best of

522
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: our abilities in our opinions. Uh, and Mark will start

523
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: with you. Why don't you nominate a team? To anybody

524
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: out there listening that needs a team, nominate one for us.

525
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: This was really hard because I want to cling to

526
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: franchises that have been consistent and good for like the

527
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: last fifteen twenty years, because you know that's going to

528
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: continue to a large degree. But I'm gonna take a

529
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: risk here, I'm gonna go Jacksonville Jaguars for reasons. Think

530
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: about them, and I'll tell you why. For me, it

531
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: starts with do you believe in the owner? Yes? I do?

532
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: Is he patient? Is? Because I, like I just said,

533
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: I think he's patient. I think that he's he really

534
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: really seems to have a vision for what the end

535
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: where the NFL is going, and also enough patients to

536
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: keep his coach and jam around and we're starting to

537
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: see the rewards they have to win. But if you

538
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: want to jump on a team now, I think if

539
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: you want to catch the wave where you've got a

540
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: good young quarterback, a lot of young talent, it might

541
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: be the right time now. Two years ago that would

542
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: have been a rough ride. But that's that's my thing

543
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,239
Speaker 1: is get if you want. Well, I'm just saying up

544
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: until now, it's not what I'm selling. What I'm selling

545
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: is from here down. And I will say that this

546
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: about the owner shot con he was definitely head of

547
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: the curve with the pools in the stadium, in the

548
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: in the second deck all American sports. Owner is the

549
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: most important factor. I totally agree that, uh it is

550
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: that is a bold pick because they have not been

551
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: successful in many years, but now there is talent there.

552
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: But we have to see because it could just as

553
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: easily go the other way, where if you pick the

554
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: Jags and they have another Jag season, they're probably gonna

555
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: fire the GM the ability or not. What we've seen

556
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: in the last few years, they haven't done anything. Fire

557
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: the coach, and then the quarterback that you're that's promising

558
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: has a new coaching staff and a new offense to learn.

559
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: So it's a little it's a risky move. It is

560
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 1: certainly risky because they haven't proven anything that I've just

561
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: suggested yet. Big risk, big reward. I was sort of

562
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: thinking along the same lines as you with my pick.

563
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: I do like Mark that you are always team Jaguar

564
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: no matter what I'm trying. And it was a bold

565
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: enough pick that I need to get up and leave now.

566
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: That is that is a way to go out, and

567
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: it's not out of disdain for the show. I have

568
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: an appointment to to get to. Do you want to

569
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: give us a little a little more detail? Not really,

570
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: because I'm honestly running late to get there, so I'll

571
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: provide more detail later. All right, Well, okay, goes. Mark

572
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: has a walk off right there, a little walk off

573
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: gets behind the jags and walks out. You know what

574
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: I could there's another point that you used to defend

575
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: this pick too. If you look at the perfect example

576
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: of just an alien landing and being lucky to get

577
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: like nineteen seventy one Steelers would be perfect. They were

578
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: over thirty nine in their history, the worst run operation

579
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: in the league, and then they go on a dynasty

580
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: and they've been great ever since. If you get into

581
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: the ground floor, like the foothills of a of a franchise,

582
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: like you are blessed as a fan, I think that

583
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: I think that's the key to this assignment though too.

584
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: It's like getting the team just before and you need

585
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 1: to see enough in the tea leaves to predict it,

586
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: and you don't want to me And when we get

587
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: to my pick, I'll get into a little more specifically,

588
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: but you don't want to pick it. You don't want

589
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: to pick a team where it's too easy or you

590
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: know what, I'll save that for when I get into it, Wes,

591
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: why don't you go with yours? Well, I've got a

592
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: lot of guidelines here, and you've mentioned a few. Let

593
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: me go over. First of all, I want a team

594
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: with some legacy. I would not take the Jaguars because

595
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: they really don't have any legacy. I want a team

596
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: with some legos. Like the NFL has been around for

597
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: almost a hundred years. I want to nod to that tradition.

598
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: No dome teams, teams bad owners are about retractable domes.

599
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: I'll allow it. Okay, so really actually ruling out. I

600
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: rule out Lions, Saints, Falcons, and Colts. Falcons have a

601
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: new stadium, Okay, so we can Cults have attractable bro

602
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: but they never open it. What's up with the Vikings

603
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: new stadium that's going to be retractive? Okay, well let's

604
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: get hung up at the dome. But go ahead. No

605
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: bandwagon teams, which means Seahawks and Panthers are out. Got you.

606
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: I have the same exact no irredeemable fan bases, which

607
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: means the Cowboys are out and Vikings subreddit makes makes

608
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings and obviously the Patriots they're out as well.

609
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: Patriots and Broncos are out because of the Throne of

610
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: East factor, right, but also the watchability. Chargers and Chiefs

611
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: are out uniforms, the boat Buccaneers are out. Watchability Chiefs

612
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: and Charges are out no New York teams as they're

613
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: obnoxious media covering, no franchise, no franchise thieves like in

614
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: the Night the Ravens. Ravens are out for stealing the Browns.

615
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: Cults are out for stealing the Ravens or for stealing

616
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: the Cults from Baltimore. I'm down to like I'm down

617
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: to Packers, Cardinals, Bears, and Raiders. Okay, and your pick.

618
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm really tempted to go with the Raiders because of

619
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: a nod. No, I'm tempted. I'm gonna because they have

620
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: the seventies early eighties Raiders for a decade, or the

621
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: most colorful team in NFL history. To me, there are

622
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: outlaws living on the edges side kind of think I'm

623
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: a bit of an outlaw. I don't know. Al Davis

624
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: is the most dynamic owner in history. I would love

625
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: to see like that whole thing come back. The NFL

626
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: is more fun when the Raiders are fun. But I'm

627
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: going with the Packers because of their tradition, They're gonna

628
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: be good and because only in the NFL would would

629
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: a city that has eighty thousand people be allowed to

630
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: survive and frankly, like Mark said, it comes down to

631
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: the owner, and the Packers have the best owner in sports.

632
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: The people you just I mean that's a great line.

633
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a great line, West, but they I

634
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: mean it's only really it's like a figurehead. Really, I

635
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: mean they're not who's the owner. They have a board, right,

636
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: and it's obviously well run, but it's still you know,

637
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: it's a board. It's not like literally like you know,

638
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: Joe Blow and the bar is like and this year

639
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: we're taking a tackle in round two, right, but he

640
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: owns like a dollar thirty worth of the franchise. It

641
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: is something. I here's here's why that's a bad choice, West.

642
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: And I loved your logic and I like the Raiders too.

643
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: They were a finalist for me as well, So colle

644
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: and you've got to really sell hard with all ready.

645
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: The reason why West that is not a great choice

646
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: is is this. It goes back to the football guys,

647
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: and uh, you had Brett Farve from to two thousand

648
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: and seven and then outrageously you end up with Aaron

649
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers from two thousand eight until two thousand twenty or

650
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: whatever it's gonna be. There is just to me. There's

651
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: no way the gods smiled down upon that franchise for

652
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: perhaps decades after Aaron Rodgers. They're not gonna get another quarterback.

653
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: It could be forever they used up their QB karma.

654
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: You know that's just like your opinion. Man, thank you

655
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: for that drop branding. Everything else I liked about it.

656
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: While you believe in the football god, you know very

657
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: well that I am football agnostic and I pay no

658
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: attention to any of that. I believe. Well, maybe this

659
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: is we're steering into theology podcast a little bit here,

660
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: which is coming up later this summer only on NFL

661
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: dot Com. But yeah, I like everything else about it.

662
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: I just don't know if the gods will give them

663
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: another quarterback after Aaron gets old. You know. It's a

664
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: smart organization though too. It is. It isn't Ted Thompson.

665
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: I like him a lot. There's a lot of reasons

666
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: if you're if you're like an American trying to pick

667
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: a premier league team, you don't want to go pick

668
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: man Man you Manchester United. You want to pick an

669
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,959
Speaker 1: underdog like the city of Green Bay, where football means

670
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: everything to that fan base, like in New York and

671
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: l A there's so many things to do Green Bay.

672
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: You need football, all right, West, it was a good sell.

673
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean you felt just short, in my opinion, by

674
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: completely underestimating the football gods. Because I'll tell you who

675
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: is the team, and I have the this is I

676
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: have personal experience. I've had a front row seat for

677
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: my entire Lifets. Of course, not let me. These are

678
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: biground rules. Okay, let me. I'm ruly out any team

679
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: with five or more titles. So the Steelers, the Cowboys,

680
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: the Niners out. The Patriots are out because they're the Patriots,

681
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: so many reasons. The Patriots, I'm rually out any Star

682
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: Cross franchise. Basically, if you were a top five team

683
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: in my pain rankings last summer, you're out. So the Browns,

684
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: the Jets, listen. I'm a Jets fan. I was born

685
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: into it. It's built character in my life. But I

686
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: would never wish it upon anyone. And I actually had

687
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: a thought when my son was born in two thousand fourteen,

688
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: should I steer him away? I still haven't decided, because

689
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: it's a tough life. So Brown's, Jets, Bills, Lions, and

690
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: Vikings do not get behind those teams because there's something

691
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: in the water with those franchises, stay off the bandwagon West.

692
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: Just like you said, Seahawks and Panthers both out. So

693
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: it came down to two teams for me, the Raiders again.

694
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: And I won't explain the reasons because Colin, I'm sure

695
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: you have many of your own. But I went with

696
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Giant, the New York Giants, and this

697
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: of Manchester United of the NFL. Absolutely not that would

698
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: be and that would be another that would be the

699
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: Patriots obviously, man you in this and the Cowboys with

700
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. The Giants have never been a dynasty. The Giants,

701
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: that was never a dynasty they want. I don't know anyway,

702
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: let me just make my point. So what I was

703
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: saying is I have had a front row seat for

704
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: my entire our childhood and adolescents. Everyone around me was

705
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: a Giants fan, and I was always jealous because the Giants,

706
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: they might not be the most exciting franchise, but they

707
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: they have rock solid leadership when we go back to

708
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: the ownership, how they run their operation, and they also

709
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: have a winning culture. Even even though they've never been

710
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: had the dynasty type runs. They win every you know,

711
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: ten fifteen, years they've now they've gotten four Super Bowls,

712
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: they've won, they've been to six, so and they always

713
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: seem to be in the mix every couple of years.

714
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: They they are a team that's they know how to

715
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: do it. And it's as much as it bothers me

716
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 1: as a Jets fan, I have to say it's a

717
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: solid fan experience because it's a good fan base, a

718
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: loyal fan base, a one of the historic NFL teams.

719
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: They've had success, but not in an obnoxious way. And

720
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: they have ownership that you can trust, so even when

721
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: Eli gets old and Odell Beckham you know, goes bolts

722
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: and free agents, so you trust that they're gonna put

723
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: it together. For me, the Giants are really maybe they're

724
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: not the most exciting sexy pick, but the safe pick

725
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: if you want to have a team to follow. And

726
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: also it's a New York team, and it's a beautiful

727
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: city in a great state. New York is a beautiful city.

728
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: But I just it gives me a rash the way

729
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: that the media covers all New York teams and the

730
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: Giants since I've been watching football since I was knee

731
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,959
Speaker 1: hi to a June bug, are the most boring team

732
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL, they're boring. I mean, it's cold there,

733
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: so you gotta sit through those games, but most cities

734
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: have I mean, and I agree, I agree. But until

735
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,479
Speaker 1: I went to the Super Bowl this year and sat

736
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: in San Francisco and watched that game in like perfect weather,

737
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, this is really nice. But you're

738
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: not gonna pick your team based on well not of

739
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: course I'm not, all right, but my my first condition

740
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 1: also had to do with Bandwagon. I mean, nobody, nobody

741
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: can ever accuse you of being a Bandwagon fan if

742
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: you go with the Raiders right now, unless it was

743
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: the seventies early right, right, but right now, and this

744
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: is your team that you pick. Um, you can't be

745
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: a Broncos fan just because they just won, Patriots, all

746
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: the all the teams that you had just mentioned. Um. Also,

747
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders haven't made the playoffs in thirteen years. Right now.

748
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: They're building, but it looks like they're going up, and

749
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: it's like if you all of a sudden hit and

750
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: for the first time in thirteen years, people are gonna

751
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: go crazy. That's a great team to catch on with.

752
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: Not to mention, you do have an excuse to come

753
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: to California or go to Mexico City to watch them

754
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: next year play the Texans. That's I dream about going

755
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: to Mexico City, right, that was one of the most

756
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: beautiful places in the world. Come all right, But um,

757
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: the fact that they were seven and nine last year,

758
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: they weren't terrible and you're very far away from the

759
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: Tony Sperano gimmicky things that were going on before exactly

760
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: you know what to deal with that. Plus, um, you

761
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: get to wear black. It's good colors. The downside is

762
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: you have to hang out with Raiders fans, But you know,

763
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: I think it'll be okay. There's some nice way. Raiders

764
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,479
Speaker 1: fans are an intimidating fan base. If you are part

765
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: of that group, then then that's cool. And I get

766
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: that being from Philadelphia. It's the same type of thing

767
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: the Raider. This is what the Raiders have going from

768
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: cool name, cool fan base, great scheme. They're an up

769
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: and coming team. They're not there yet. They seem to

770
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: have a QB in place. Mark talked about the importance

771
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 1: of having stability. Certainly, you cannot argue that Reggie mackenzie

772
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: hasn't had a chance to rebuild this outfit. I love it.

773
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: I love Khalil Mack, mar Cooper. He could argue that

774
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: they have the most colorful, distinctive persona in NFL history,

775
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 1: the Outlaws. I love that. We shouldn't confuse Al Davis

776
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: with Mark Davis a number of levels. I just you know,

777
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: so it's not like you're gonna assume they're gonna be

778
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: the swashbuckling Raiders of old. But it's still yes, I'm

779
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: with you on that. Yeah, I'm comfortable with my pick. Hey,

780
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: you know what else? Legacy Frank Gifford and the New

781
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: York Giants love if Yeah, remember what Chuck bed narracted

782
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: to him concrete? Do you know the man just passed

783
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: away Leans really Philadelphia today? Yeah? I know, I know.

784
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: So there you have it. Mark nominates the Jaguars, West,

785
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: the Packers. I nominated the Giants, Colleen the Raiders. But

786
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: I'll say this, we all had feelings about the Raiders,

787
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: and I believe Mark did too. He did. I feel

788
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: like the Raiders might be the consensus pick here with

789
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: they were all in our final three, so that's got

790
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: to count for something. To keep that in mind. So

791
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: if you are looking for a team and you don't

792
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: want to be on a bandwagon. You want to get

793
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: involved with the a team of the legacy and some

794
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: real hope for the future and some badass UNIFI say

795
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: this too. If I ever do another long form I

796
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: think the Raiders and the Al Davis years could be

797
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: at the heart of it. I like the sound of that.

798
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: I would read it. Al Davis has the best quotes

799
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: in NFL history. Just phenel, you got to do that.

800
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: Did I ever tell you the story about the owner

801
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: who sent a parrot at the front door of the

802
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: owners meetings? This is when al Davis was suing the NFL.

803
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: Another NFL owner bought a parent trained to say you,

804
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: Al David, pat did at the front door of the owner. Wow,

805
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: I think we need to do that. Paul Brown was

806
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: a car. How much is a parrot? I don't know.

807
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: We should do it, let's all. I think that's one

808
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 1: of the greatest stories of sports history. That's I'm imagining

809
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: that it worked perfectly as well. Like the parrot talked

810
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: on command, said it to everyone that it walked by.

811
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: That could be the mascot here. We could just have

812
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: a parrot in here. Can you imagine a parrot and

813
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: a put down contest with Al Davis. All Right, before

814
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: we go, guys, um, I don't know if you guys

815
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: caught the finals of the n C Double A men's

816
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: basketball season. What's that? That is college hoops? And it

817
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 1: was I know you're not a big fan West, but

818
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: it was one of the better games in recent memory. Wolfie.

819
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: I know as a Philadelphia native seeing Villanova Viva take

820
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: the title for the first time since nineteen eighty five.

821
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: A three pointer. Uh, A name that will live forever

822
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: in uh Philly sports law law lore. Yeah, thank you.

823
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: What's his name again, Jenkins? Yeah, han't even lived twenty

824
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: four hours. Well, I love that. Everybody thought that Ryan

825
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: Archie Diakano. It was like Archie Diakano. They thought his

826
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: name was first and last, like, not like everybody's like Ryan.

827
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: Who's Ryan? So it was a class, instant classic and uh, Unfortunately,

828
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: if there's a winner in those type of classic games,

829
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: there's got to be a loser. It was the University

830
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: of North Carolina and and in a crushing, you know,

831
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: turn of events and fate, the favorite team collegiate team,

832
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: and I believe the alba mater of David Eally, our

833
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: desk editor, downstairs is who The last time we heard

834
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: from him on this show. Uh, you know it was

835
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: his beloved Carolina Panthers going down in flames in Super

836
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty. So maybe we'll I don't know. It's a

837
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: cruel to give him a phone call just to see

838
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: he's on a bad run. I think he should just

839
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: check to see how he's doing. Drives off the attention

840
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: simultaneously though. Okay, so, hey, irishman, do you think we

841
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: can get called down to the desk and let's see

842
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: if we can get in touch with him. I hope

843
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: he hasn't left yet for the day news. Hi, can

844
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: we please speak with David Eally? Please speak? This is

845
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: Dan hands around the NFL Podcast. Dan hands us to

846
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. Yeah, that's me, but I don't know

847
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: that guy sounds like a Jet fan. This is swiky. Great,

848
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: let me hear your name it real quick. I can't.

849
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that for you. I couldn't care

850
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: less about that. Very good. Let me get you over

851
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: to David Eally again. It was Eally, who's had an

852
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: active game? David, Hey Eally, what's up? It's uh the

853
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: old suser upstairs? Hey, how are you fine. Um, now

854
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: it's time to talk about it now. Of course, Dave,

855
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: you have the champagne bottle. Uh, take us a little

856
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: bit through the process. Last night before Jenkins hit that three.

857
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: Oh wow. Okay, So, um, I was at my apartments,

858
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: not in the news room this time. It was me

859
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: and two other friends who both with to North Carolina,

860
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: and um, the sime a little more of a party.

861
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: So there's some cocktails involved, and uh, we're a little

862
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: there's some nerves and then we're all standing on page

863
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 1: at the three and we're feeling pretty good about overtime. Yeah,

864
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 1: And at this point, where's the champagne bottle? For those

865
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: that don't remember, Mr Eally had purchased the bottle of

866
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: champagne and kept it in the office, a risky move

867
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: with hru to pop. When the Panthers won the Super Bowl,

868
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: he kept it refrigerated, hoping that he could use it

869
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: for this game. At this point, where is the champagne

870
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: bottle in my fridge? And you're feeling good? At this point,

871
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of lost. I don't know what to

872
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: do because it was it's a nice balls champagne, it's

873
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,959
Speaker 1: sparkling rose to be specific you. I'm a fan of Rose.

874
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: I can't help it, and I don't want to waste it.

875
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: But at the same time as I feel it might

876
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: be cursed. Um No, I don't know what to do it.

877
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: It does feel uh like a cursed bottle at this point.

878
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: And Mark and we were talking before he called, you know,

879
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 1: we don't. This isn't a call to rub it in,

880
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 1: because there's nothing worse than the sports fan that rubs

881
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: in a loss. To a die hard fan, It's more like,

882
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: how you doing, buddy? Yeah, Okay, I guess. Uh, I'm

883
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: I guess. I feel lost. I feel like things don't

884
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: make sense. My birth days on Saturday, so I mean

885
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: to put a little downer on the week. Yeah trying.

886
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm just trying. I'm searching. Okay, how about this? Can

887
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: you do you have any questions? I mean, I am

888
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: on the complete opposite end of things. So, Elie, I'm

889
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: really sorry, but being from Philadelphia, it was amazing to

890
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: see Villanova and that didn't help it. Does that make

891
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: it worse fandom? Are you well? I actually I covered

892
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: the team when all of those guys freshman. I've covered

893
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: them a couple of times in the tourney. Yeah, okay,

894
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess that's fine, all right, and um,

895
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: all right, before we let you go, David, and you

896
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: obviously you seem like you're okay. I watch you to

897
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 1: power rank the following losses. Okay, okay, power rank these losses.

898
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: One being the worst loss, three being a terrible loss

899
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: but not the worst. The Carolina Panthers loss in Super

900
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty. Alright, Uh, the University of North Carolina is

901
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: lost in the championship game. And her because are you

902
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: talking about the movie losing the off here? Yeah, tell

903
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: us about that. Um, let's see number one Panthers super

904
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty. Um. I mean I was twenty three at

905
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: the time I got dumped, so it's probably for the best, right.

906
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: So then let's transition to you. It's weird that you

907
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: still think about it, right, Well, I do when you

908
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: bring it up. Sorry, So yeah, we'll transition to the

909
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: last night's it's pretty raw right now, and then yes,

910
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: sure three three can be the breakup. Well, I don't

911
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: believe any of that. I mean, we we can, we can.

912
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I might not believe it either, but

913
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: who knows what That's what I'm telling myself at least,

914
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: and I will I'll say this too, we alad, and

915
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm being honest and West you know this, I like,

916
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: you know, whatever is good for the podcast. I like to,

917
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, go down that Avenue. So as the game's developing,

918
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it would be pretty have fun to call

919
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: Eally after another crushing loss. But then I thought about

920
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: a little more and I said, well, but Eally is

921
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: a good dude, and the Panthers loss was bad, and

922
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: you know the college girlfriend that hurt. It would be

923
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: good if you got you know this. But in the

924
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: back of my mind, he said, no, you know what,

925
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: this feels like they're gonna pull the football on you again.

926
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna get Charlie Brown. Well, it's only they haven't

927
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: won Champleges in the past, so it's not like I

928
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: have seen I have seen before in my life. And

929
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: and un got called for everything. I mean, there were

930
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: so many fouls. Yeah, Philidelphia, No Philly team wins anything ever.

931
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: So alright, it's finally we at least respect Santon in Charlotte.

932
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: That's an old bit, really, you know, all right, has

933
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: been a great It's been a great chat. Daville. You

934
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: have to put this champagne on ice. Maybe maybe the

935
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 1: Phillies have a big I think Tony Sperano and bury

936
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: the ball you're gonna bury? Oh, I like that idea.

937
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: It's cursed. Bury the champagne. Don't drag it to another

938
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: important sporting event, please. No. I think you should travel

939
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: to a Pacific island and throw it into a hollowoad

940
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: out volcano from whence you came. Yeah, some type of

941
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: grand gesture might be the best move. But have a

942
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: baseball team, so at least this summer should be fine. Oh,

943
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: you know you should do. You should travel up to

944
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: Oakland and literally bury the bottle next to the ball,

945
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: Berano's ball. That's a great idea. I like that. That

946
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: may be a good like VOD segment, good, good call,

953
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,920

954
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: has waited thirty one years for that, and Drexel is

955
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: never going to be anywhere in the sporting scene, so

956
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean I have to there isn't a lot of

957
