00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

2
00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:16,148
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:22,228 --> 00:00:23,908
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.

4
00:00:24,188 --> 00:00:26,548
Speaker 3: That's right, this is Good Morning Football. Welcome inside, everybody.

5
00:00:26,588 --> 00:00:29,748
Speaker 3: We're love in LA and Indianapolis today because it is

6
00:00:29,788 --> 00:00:33,268
Speaker 3: the first official day of on field drills in the

7
00:00:33,388 --> 00:00:36,108
Speaker 3: NFL Scouting Combine. It's Thursday of every twenty seventh. I'm

8
00:00:36,148 --> 00:00:40,948
Speaker 3: Jamie at Allmantiiteo, Peter Schrager, Cody Kessler at the table.

9
00:00:41,188 --> 00:00:43,868
Speaker 3: But actually, Peter, in hindsight, that was a bit of

10
00:00:43,868 --> 00:00:48,068
Speaker 3: a mistake. I didn't know this kicking Specialty Exposition was

11
00:00:48,068 --> 00:00:49,308
Speaker 3: happening yesterday.

12
00:00:49,388 --> 00:00:54,068
Speaker 2: That was a cool deal, really cool. Kickers usually get

13
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:56,428
Speaker 2: no love here at the combine, punters usually coming to

14
00:00:56,468 --> 00:00:58,068
Speaker 2: just get the run forties. They actually got to do

15
00:00:58,188 --> 00:01:01,188
Speaker 2: the actual drills. Pat McAfee hosted a very cool way

16
00:01:01,228 --> 00:01:03,148
Speaker 2: to start off the combine and there was a great

17
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:06,068
Speaker 2: turnout that will be a fixture for years to come.

18
00:01:06,108 --> 00:01:08,388
Speaker 2: So kickers and punters getting the love too, Jamie, we

19
00:01:08,548 --> 00:01:10,268
Speaker 2: like to show all the love here at the network.

20
00:01:10,428 --> 00:01:10,708
Speaker 4: M h.

21
00:01:11,108 --> 00:01:13,948
Speaker 3: Indeed, we do and all love meaning that we don't

22
00:01:13,948 --> 00:01:16,668
Speaker 3: just focus on guys working out this weekend. We have

23
00:01:16,708 --> 00:01:19,428
Speaker 3: to pay attention to news around the NFL and of

24
00:01:19,468 --> 00:01:22,988
Speaker 3: course current players. Rams head coach Sean McVay hung out

25
00:01:23,028 --> 00:01:25,788
Speaker 3: with two of his friends, Fits and Wits on their

26
00:01:25,868 --> 00:01:29,228
Speaker 3: podcast as the Rams and the coach lay out the

27
00:01:29,308 --> 00:01:33,148
Speaker 3: situation that they face right now with their quarterback, Matthew Stafford.

28
00:01:35,348 --> 00:01:38,148
Speaker 5: There's no dispute and let's not get it twisted in

29
00:01:38,188 --> 00:01:41,308
Speaker 5: regards to anybody wanting him to be our quarterback. Ultimately,

30
00:01:41,348 --> 00:01:43,428
Speaker 5: you're saying, hey, there's a ton of interest because this

31
00:01:43,468 --> 00:01:47,508
Speaker 5: guy's an incredible player, and we've had conversations where he

32
00:01:47,548 --> 00:01:50,508
Speaker 5: could probably play over much longer once, but it's been on.

33
00:01:50,468 --> 00:01:53,308
Speaker 4: A year to year in terms of our dialogue. Is

34
00:01:53,348 --> 00:01:54,308
Speaker 4: that one? Is that too?

35
00:01:54,388 --> 00:01:56,828
Speaker 5: Only he can answer that, But there does have to

36
00:01:56,868 --> 00:01:59,068
Speaker 5: be an element of understanding, well, what does that future

37
00:01:59,068 --> 00:02:01,748
Speaker 5: look like without this freaking g that's been our quarterback

38
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:03,188
Speaker 5: for the last four years.

39
00:02:03,428 --> 00:02:06,188
Speaker 2: And there's no right or wrong way to go about it.

40
00:02:06,188 --> 00:02:07,628
Speaker 5: But I do think for us to be able to

41
00:02:07,668 --> 00:02:10,748
Speaker 5: make the most educated decision in terms of all, right,

42
00:02:10,908 --> 00:02:14,268
Speaker 5: you know, the cash budget that we operate on, the

43
00:02:14,348 --> 00:02:16,348
Speaker 5: draft comp that you would get in return, you know,

44
00:02:16,388 --> 00:02:17,748
Speaker 5: you just need to be able to have all the

45
00:02:17,788 --> 00:02:20,348
Speaker 5: parameters to at least explore it. He and I have

46
00:02:20,428 --> 00:02:23,548
Speaker 5: had great dialogue throughout this process. I know where we

47
00:02:23,588 --> 00:02:25,588
Speaker 5: want it to be able to end up. But these

48
00:02:25,588 --> 00:02:28,068
Speaker 5: decisions aren't made in a vacuum, and that's kind of

49
00:02:28,068 --> 00:02:29,268
Speaker 5: the challenging part about it.

50
00:02:30,588 --> 00:02:32,908
Speaker 3: McVeigh just calls it like he sees it. Peter and

51
00:02:32,948 --> 00:02:35,828
Speaker 3: Tom pellasero. The guy's been a g a quarterback for

52
00:02:35,868 --> 00:02:38,268
Speaker 3: the Rams, and of course there's no dispute. He wants

53
00:02:38,308 --> 00:02:40,588
Speaker 3: him to stay at that position. But Peter, sometimes the

54
00:02:40,628 --> 00:02:42,588
Speaker 3: books don't lay out that way. What do you two

55
00:02:42,668 --> 00:02:44,068
Speaker 3: make of mcveigh's comments.

56
00:02:45,948 --> 00:02:48,668
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, look, Shawn has always been very transparent in

57
00:02:48,708 --> 00:02:51,068
Speaker 2: his love for Matthew Stafford, but he was also very

58
00:02:51,068 --> 00:02:55,268
Speaker 2: transparent in that the numbers might not make sense long term.

59
00:02:55,388 --> 00:02:57,188
Speaker 2: Well for the short term. Do we find a way

60
00:02:57,188 --> 00:02:58,828
Speaker 2: to fix it year to year or is this the

61
00:02:58,948 --> 00:03:01,148
Speaker 2: year you rip the band aid off and you mix

62
00:03:01,188 --> 00:03:05,308
Speaker 2: things up. As we know, Stafford's agent, Jimmy's, was given

63
00:03:05,908 --> 00:03:08,588
Speaker 2: full ability by the Rams to go just seek out

64
00:03:08,628 --> 00:03:10,508
Speaker 2: and see what the market would be as far as

65
00:03:10,588 --> 00:03:13,868
Speaker 2: numbers go for Matthew Stafford on the open market, as

66
00:03:13,868 --> 00:03:15,828
Speaker 2: if he was a free agent. But then things have

67
00:03:15,868 --> 00:03:18,788
Speaker 2: accelerated this week. Tom Pellet, Sara's with me here today.

68
00:03:19,668 --> 00:03:23,508
Speaker 2: Lots of reports yesterday, lots of conflicting reports yesterday. There

69
00:03:23,588 --> 00:03:25,708
Speaker 2: also have been some teams mentioned. Why don't we give

70
00:03:25,708 --> 00:03:29,188
Speaker 2: a thirty thousand foot view of where things stand? And

71
00:03:29,268 --> 00:03:32,188
Speaker 2: also the different individuals and teams involved right up to

72
00:03:32,228 --> 00:03:36,068
Speaker 2: the minute, including all interactions at local coffee shops here

73
00:03:36,108 --> 00:03:36,988
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis.

74
00:03:37,068 --> 00:03:38,868
Speaker 6: Well, let's start here with what you said, which was

75
00:03:38,948 --> 00:03:41,428
Speaker 6: the RAMS gave Jimmy Sexton a couple of weeks ago

76
00:03:41,508 --> 00:03:43,468
Speaker 6: commission to go and talk to other teams. So there

77
00:03:43,468 --> 00:03:46,948
Speaker 6: have been ongoing dialogue with Matthew Savage agent Jimmy Sexton,

78
00:03:47,348 --> 00:03:49,628
Speaker 6: multiple other teams, and the RAMS.

79
00:03:49,708 --> 00:03:51,148
Speaker 4: Everybody's trying to figure this out.

80
00:03:51,348 --> 00:03:53,348
Speaker 6: Part of this was the RAMS wanted to know if

81
00:03:53,388 --> 00:03:57,668
Speaker 6: Stafford comes back into if Shefford is going to come

82
00:03:57,708 --> 00:04:01,068
Speaker 6: back to the RAMS, what is that contract going to

83
00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:01,508
Speaker 6: look like?

84
00:04:01,668 --> 00:04:04,908
Speaker 4: In other words, what number would make sense? Find that out?

85
00:04:04,948 --> 00:04:06,228
Speaker 6: Is if you talk to the our teams and know

86
00:04:06,468 --> 00:04:08,228
Speaker 6: what's behind door number two, and you heard me Fay

87
00:04:08,228 --> 00:04:10,228
Speaker 6: talk about it, it's like, hey, we can get a second

88
00:04:10,308 --> 00:04:13,668
Speaker 6: round draft pickback and clear forty fifty million dollars from

89
00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:17,068
Speaker 6: our cash budget, maybe spend that elsewhere. Kirk Cousins is

90
00:04:17,108 --> 00:04:18,988
Speaker 6: maybe gonna pop free and be at the minimum. We

91
00:04:19,028 --> 00:04:20,828
Speaker 6: can bring back Jimmy Garopolo. There's a lot of different

92
00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:24,028
Speaker 6: options here, but the Giants are certainly a team to watch.

93
00:04:24,028 --> 00:04:26,268
Speaker 6: In all this, they have a clear quarterback need. It

94
00:04:26,308 --> 00:04:28,708
Speaker 6: would make a ton of sense from the Giants perspective.

95
00:04:28,708 --> 00:04:30,788
Speaker 6: Matthew Stafford had to figure out it makes sense for

96
00:04:30,908 --> 00:04:33,108
Speaker 6: him to go there because he's got effective veto power.

97
00:04:33,108 --> 00:04:35,508
Speaker 6: He doesn't have a no trade card, not that anybody

98
00:04:35,548 --> 00:04:38,428
Speaker 6: who is gonna make it us money so effectively has

99
00:04:38,548 --> 00:04:40,948
Speaker 6: no trade cluse. The Raiders are another team, and you

100
00:04:41,028 --> 00:04:43,708
Speaker 6: mentioned some conflicting reports yesterday.

101
00:04:44,348 --> 00:04:45,788
Speaker 4: Here's one thing that did happen.

102
00:04:46,068 --> 00:04:50,148
Speaker 6: Matthew Stafford and Tom Brady, the Raiders minority owner as

103
00:04:50,188 --> 00:04:51,988
Speaker 6: we now call him, also the greatest quarterback of all time.

104
00:04:51,988 --> 00:04:54,308
Speaker 4: It's trying to be reducing the Raiders owner.

105
00:04:54,348 --> 00:04:58,988
Speaker 6: Now they both have property in an exclusive ski resort

106
00:04:59,188 --> 00:05:01,908
Speaker 6: in Montana. There's a bunch of people there, like Bill

107
00:05:01,948 --> 00:05:05,028
Speaker 6: Gates has a place there, Mark Zuckerberg and obviously certain

108
00:05:05,108 --> 00:05:07,628
Speaker 6: NFL people who also have made two hundred plus million

109
00:05:07,628 --> 00:05:11,068
Speaker 6: dollars in their careers. Those guys ran into each other recently.

110
00:05:11,428 --> 00:05:14,468
Speaker 6: They did talk, they did spend some time together. Didn't

111
00:05:14,468 --> 00:05:15,308
Speaker 6: playing for the Raiders?

112
00:05:15,348 --> 00:05:18,508
Speaker 4: Come up? Who's this set? He didn't, But it wasn't.

113
00:05:18,348 --> 00:05:21,828
Speaker 6: Tom Brady flying in Matthew Stafford hosting him on the.

114
00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:24,188
Speaker 4: Visited see them at his house.

115
00:05:24,588 --> 00:05:27,388
Speaker 6: I mean, maybe there's maybe there's some people in this

116
00:05:27,508 --> 00:05:29,628
Speaker 6: world who trade out trips for favors.

117
00:05:29,668 --> 00:05:30,148
Speaker 4: I don't know.

118
00:05:30,388 --> 00:05:32,108
Speaker 6: Maybe sometimes you get a little gift basket.

119
00:05:32,108 --> 00:05:32,508
Speaker 2: Who knows.

120
00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:36,268
Speaker 6: But this was something that was not quite to the

121
00:05:36,348 --> 00:05:37,948
Speaker 6: extent that certain people wanted to be.

122
00:05:38,148 --> 00:05:39,188
Speaker 4: You could end up with the Raiders.

123
00:05:39,188 --> 00:05:42,548
Speaker 6: It's certainly a possibility. Tom Brady's very persuasive, but there's

124
00:05:42,588 --> 00:05:44,948
Speaker 6: a lot of moving parts here. And ultimately, let's remember

125
00:05:45,068 --> 00:05:47,428
Speaker 6: the Rams still hold the card. If they just say,

126
00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:48,988
Speaker 6: you know what, We're not going to trade you. We

127
00:05:48,988 --> 00:05:51,348
Speaker 6: looked at all the options. You're not going anywhere. That

128
00:05:51,388 --> 00:05:53,188
Speaker 6: Matthew Safford has to figure out, Okay, do I take

129
00:05:53,188 --> 00:05:55,188
Speaker 6: the best offer they get or do I say I'm

130
00:05:55,228 --> 00:05:55,988
Speaker 6: gonna sit out.

131
00:05:56,268 --> 00:05:58,388
Speaker 4: That scenario is hard to envision, but we'll see.

132
00:05:58,388 --> 00:06:01,268
Speaker 2: There's so many layerses. But the ugly letter is the

133
00:06:01,348 --> 00:06:03,628
Speaker 2: t letter, and it's tampering, So where does that come

134
00:06:03,628 --> 00:06:06,588
Speaker 2: into this thing? He was given permission to speak with agents,

135
00:06:06,628 --> 00:06:08,188
Speaker 2: So like, where do we stand?

136
00:06:08,348 --> 00:06:09,628
Speaker 4: Well, remember four years here.

137
00:06:09,668 --> 00:06:12,268
Speaker 2: You also have to have the team pushed charges for tampaing.

138
00:06:12,308 --> 00:06:13,868
Speaker 2: It has to come from the Rams.

139
00:06:14,028 --> 00:06:18,788
Speaker 6: Four years ago, Stafford was traded after being in Cabo

140
00:06:18,868 --> 00:06:20,628
Speaker 6: with Sean McVay, and the Lions.

141
00:06:20,308 --> 00:06:22,708
Speaker 2: Were happy with that trade, so they didn't push for that, right.

142
00:06:22,708 --> 00:06:24,668
Speaker 6: So the Rams then coming back after they've given Jimmy

143
00:06:24,668 --> 00:06:28,068
Speaker 6: Sexton permission, would seem like this would probably be a

144
00:06:28,508 --> 00:06:30,828
Speaker 6: you know a little bit much to pursue tampering charges.

145
00:06:30,908 --> 00:06:33,228
Speaker 6: But let's be clear, you can't talk directly to the

146
00:06:33,268 --> 00:06:35,308
Speaker 6: player unless you're given permission to do that. It doesn't

147
00:06:35,308 --> 00:06:38,068
Speaker 6: salent the Rams have given that permission. Tom Brady, Matthews,

148
00:06:38,068 --> 00:06:39,988
Speaker 6: saverndor an Indo train. This is honestly the gray area

149
00:06:40,388 --> 00:06:44,188
Speaker 6: with Tom Brady, which is is he broadcaster Tom Brady.

150
00:06:43,948 --> 00:06:45,268
Speaker 4: Plays the ex player Tom Brady?

151
00:06:45,348 --> 00:06:49,228
Speaker 6: Is he Raiders by nor I'll say this, tom Brady

152
00:06:49,268 --> 00:06:53,028
Speaker 6: has a lot of authority in that Raiders building. Anything

153
00:06:53,068 --> 00:06:56,068
Speaker 6: that he is doing is at the be hesse. I

154
00:06:56,108 --> 00:06:58,748
Speaker 6: would think of trying to make the Raiders better. So again,

155
00:06:58,868 --> 00:07:01,668
Speaker 6: did it come up in conversation. I can't say I

156
00:07:01,908 --> 00:07:05,908
Speaker 6: don't own a place there. I'm several hundred million dollars short.

157
00:07:06,348 --> 00:07:07,948
Speaker 6: I think one day maybe I'll run into him on the.

158
00:07:07,948 --> 00:07:10,508
Speaker 2: SI you'll get there. Listen a couple more layers to this, though.

159
00:07:10,628 --> 00:07:13,588
Speaker 2: The whole thing was Stafford. Obviously, you know what's his value.

160
00:07:13,628 --> 00:07:17,788
Speaker 2: What's the team would have to trade a pick, maybe

161
00:07:17,908 --> 00:07:20,788
Speaker 2: some other veterans and pay him that new number. So

162
00:07:20,948 --> 00:07:23,388
Speaker 2: it's not like he's a pure free agent that it's like, hey,

163
00:07:23,668 --> 00:07:25,548
Speaker 2: we could give you fifty five million, come aboard. The

164
00:07:25,628 --> 00:07:27,108
Speaker 2: Rams don't want to do that. They would still to

165
00:07:27,148 --> 00:07:29,028
Speaker 2: give a pick and maybe even a player or two.

166
00:07:29,708 --> 00:07:32,548
Speaker 2: The Giants are a team. We're hearing the Raiders are

167
00:07:32,548 --> 00:07:35,108
Speaker 2: a team. We're hearing the Steelers early on. We're a team.

168
00:07:35,108 --> 00:07:37,268
Speaker 2: I'm hearing not as much about the Steelers right now.

169
00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:41,628
Speaker 2: And to your point, Stafford, Kelly, his wife, they're four kids.

170
00:07:42,028 --> 00:07:44,668
Speaker 2: They would have to be open to going to that location.

171
00:07:45,188 --> 00:07:47,988
Speaker 2: Stafford's brother in law, Chad Hall, is now the assistant

172
00:07:48,028 --> 00:07:50,628
Speaker 2: wide receivers coach of the New York Giants, And of

173
00:07:50,708 --> 00:07:53,948
Speaker 2: course Vegas is so close to Los Angeles. That's a

174
00:07:54,028 --> 00:07:57,268
Speaker 2: forty minute flight. Kelly and the girls could technically still

175
00:07:57,348 --> 00:08:00,588
Speaker 2: live and have their Los Angeles life, and Stafford could

176
00:08:00,588 --> 00:08:01,948
Speaker 2: go back and forth if he were to go to

177
00:08:02,028 --> 00:08:05,508
Speaker 2: the Raiders. So interesting layers to this. The end result,

178
00:08:05,588 --> 00:08:07,668
Speaker 2: He's still a ram. As we are on TV now,

179
00:08:07,788 --> 00:08:09,948
Speaker 2: and as the drills go on today, this will be

180
00:08:09,988 --> 00:08:12,108
Speaker 2: a topic that we'll all be talking about, and is

181
00:08:12,148 --> 00:08:15,268
Speaker 2: what happens in all these hallways and all these hotel,

182
00:08:15,788 --> 00:08:17,388
Speaker 2: local bakeries and whatnot.

183
00:08:17,148 --> 00:08:21,228
Speaker 3: Else exactly all right, here's what I've learned. Here's what

184
00:08:21,268 --> 00:08:22,508
Speaker 3: I've gleaned from this conversation.

185
00:08:22,748 --> 00:08:23,828
Speaker 4: That it seems like.

186
00:08:23,988 --> 00:08:27,028
Speaker 3: Trade conversations can occur in things like a chalet and

187
00:08:27,108 --> 00:08:29,228
Speaker 3: a cabana, and you can't get in trouble for it.

188
00:08:29,588 --> 00:08:32,268
Speaker 3: None of us have enough money to participate in any

189
00:08:32,308 --> 00:08:34,468
Speaker 3: of these recreational activities in the off season.

190
00:08:34,548 --> 00:08:35,268
Speaker 4: Did I get it right?

191
00:08:36,268 --> 00:08:39,148
Speaker 2: Don't say that we're getting there. We're working hard the show.

192
00:08:39,628 --> 00:08:42,868
Speaker 2: We just got syndication rights. We're doing all right, Jamie,

193
00:08:42,868 --> 00:08:43,468
Speaker 2: We're hanging in.

194
00:08:43,948 --> 00:08:45,428
Speaker 4: Let's go. You're right, Peter.

195
00:08:45,588 --> 00:08:48,388
Speaker 3: We check your local listings for GMFB overtime. Here we go,

196
00:08:48,548 --> 00:08:51,948
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford, buzz, Let's keep this conversation rolling Cody Kessler.

197
00:08:52,188 --> 00:08:56,228
Speaker 3: Being a California kid, you have worked out adjacent to Stafford.

198
00:08:56,308 --> 00:08:58,268
Speaker 3: You also know the impact that he's had on his

199
00:08:58,388 --> 00:09:00,788
Speaker 3: teams that he has played for, both in Detroit and LA.

200
00:09:01,028 --> 00:09:03,668
Speaker 3: What do you make of these conversations. Maybe from both

201
00:09:03,748 --> 00:09:06,308
Speaker 3: sides of it, there's a business and there's a effect

202
00:09:06,428 --> 00:09:08,068
Speaker 3: that this could have on both the team.

203
00:09:07,948 --> 00:09:08,388
Speaker 5: And the player.

204
00:09:08,588 --> 00:09:11,628
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. And earlier in this week, even

205
00:09:11,748 --> 00:09:15,428
Speaker 4: with the talks of Stafford speaking to other teams to

206
00:09:15,428 --> 00:09:17,508
Speaker 4: getting the permission to do so, I was still fully

207
00:09:17,548 --> 00:09:19,188
Speaker 4: convinced he was going to be in Los Angeles this

208
00:09:19,308 --> 00:09:21,828
Speaker 4: next season. I'm not quite there anymore. I'm getting a

209
00:09:21,868 --> 00:09:23,548
Speaker 4: little worried. But I will say this, from the football

210
00:09:23,588 --> 00:09:26,828
Speaker 4: side of things, Matt Stafford, in my opinion, is one

211
00:09:26,908 --> 00:09:28,588
Speaker 4: of still, at thirty seven years old, one of the

212
00:09:28,628 --> 00:09:31,348
Speaker 4: most talented players in the NFL right now, especially when

213
00:09:31,388 --> 00:09:33,748
Speaker 4: it comes to arm talent. When you pair that up

214
00:09:33,948 --> 00:09:37,428
Speaker 4: with his experience, his toughness, his leadership ability. For this

215
00:09:37,588 --> 00:09:39,908
Speaker 4: young roster that the Rams have right now, it makes

216
00:09:39,948 --> 00:09:41,788
Speaker 4: so much sense to just keep him there. I know

217
00:09:41,868 --> 00:09:43,788
Speaker 4: the numbers also have to make sense, that's the big thing.

218
00:09:43,948 --> 00:09:47,468
Speaker 4: But he took this young roster to Philadelphia, was one

219
00:09:47,508 --> 00:09:50,268
Speaker 4: play away and bad weather to going to the NFC

220
00:09:50,388 --> 00:09:52,548
Speaker 4: Championship game. And this was a team early on in

221
00:09:52,628 --> 00:09:54,468
Speaker 4: the season that a lot of people rode off.

222
00:09:54,508 --> 00:09:54,628
Speaker 7: Right.

223
00:09:54,708 --> 00:09:56,588
Speaker 4: I think if you go out and find a new quarterback,

224
00:09:56,588 --> 00:09:58,388
Speaker 4: whether you go get a young quarterback, whether you go

225
00:09:58,468 --> 00:10:01,308
Speaker 4: get a veteran someone that's proven, you're doing a disservice

226
00:10:01,348 --> 00:10:03,788
Speaker 4: to your football team. Because when you have a young roster,

227
00:10:04,108 --> 00:10:07,068
Speaker 4: it is it's so important to have stability at key positions.

228
00:10:07,228 --> 00:10:10,188
Speaker 4: That number one spot is the quarterback. You have Matthew Stafford,

229
00:10:10,308 --> 00:10:12,508
Speaker 4: like I said, one of the most talented in the NFL.

230
00:10:12,788 --> 00:10:15,348
Speaker 4: You also had a great combination between Nick Bay and

231
00:10:15,388 --> 00:10:17,988
Speaker 4: Stafford outside of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, probably the

232
00:10:18,028 --> 00:10:22,148
Speaker 4: best play color quarterback combination combination in the entire NFL. Right,

233
00:10:22,188 --> 00:10:23,788
Speaker 4: And if you just break that up after they won

234
00:10:23,828 --> 00:10:25,628
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl together, I just think you'd take a

235
00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:29,028
Speaker 4: massive step backward backwards if you were the Los Angeles Rams.

236
00:10:29,068 --> 00:10:30,708
Speaker 4: So I don't know what that number looks like for

237
00:10:30,788 --> 00:10:32,668
Speaker 4: Matt Savad, I don't know what he wants. I just

238
00:10:32,748 --> 00:10:34,148
Speaker 4: think they need to find a way to get some

239
00:10:34,228 --> 00:10:36,148
Speaker 4: common ground and get a chance to revamp and go

240
00:10:36,188 --> 00:10:37,908
Speaker 4: back in twenty twenty five and make another run at

241
00:10:37,948 --> 00:10:38,228
Speaker 4: the title.

242
00:10:38,308 --> 00:10:40,588
Speaker 8: Yeah, talk about numbers and values, and I'm so glad

243
00:10:40,628 --> 00:10:42,188
Speaker 8: you made that that reference, Cody.

244
00:10:43,468 --> 00:10:45,388
Speaker 4: A few days have gone by, I looked at all.

245
00:10:45,308 --> 00:10:47,828
Speaker 8: The narratives kind of surrounding this whole Rams transaction in

246
00:10:47,868 --> 00:10:50,548
Speaker 8: Matt Stafford, and it kind of reminds me of the

247
00:10:50,548 --> 00:10:51,068
Speaker 8: stalk market.

248
00:10:51,108 --> 00:10:52,828
Speaker 4: They're kind of treating it like the stock market.

249
00:10:52,868 --> 00:10:55,508
Speaker 8: They understand that they have an asset, which is Matt Stafford,

250
00:10:55,828 --> 00:10:57,948
Speaker 8: and he's at his max value right now. It's at

251
00:10:57,988 --> 00:10:59,868
Speaker 8: a value where he can win you a lot of games,

252
00:10:59,908 --> 00:11:01,228
Speaker 8: and he can take you to a super Bowl. Matter

253
00:11:01,268 --> 00:11:02,748
Speaker 8: of fact, he won you a super Bowl, and we

254
00:11:02,868 --> 00:11:04,788
Speaker 8: talked earlier in the week that he was one play

255
00:11:04,828 --> 00:11:07,948
Speaker 8: away from getting it into the NFC Championship and possibly

256
00:11:08,068 --> 00:11:08,788
Speaker 8: this go again.

257
00:11:09,308 --> 00:11:09,468
Speaker 4: Now.

258
00:11:10,308 --> 00:11:14,988
Speaker 8: The Rams also understand that that value can only go

259
00:11:15,148 --> 00:11:17,988
Speaker 8: down with age. He's not going to get any younger,

260
00:11:18,188 --> 00:11:20,788
Speaker 8: and there's a market right now that is in desperate

261
00:11:20,908 --> 00:11:24,708
Speaker 8: need of a quarterback. So I think there are teams

262
00:11:24,788 --> 00:11:27,668
Speaker 8: out there that may be so desperate that talk about

263
00:11:27,708 --> 00:11:30,388
Speaker 8: prices and numbers that they might present the Rams with

264
00:11:30,508 --> 00:11:32,868
Speaker 8: the price that could set them up for short and

265
00:11:33,148 --> 00:11:35,988
Speaker 8: long term success. And I think right now where the

266
00:11:36,068 --> 00:11:37,988
Speaker 8: Rams are sitting is they're just trying to figure.

267
00:11:37,748 --> 00:11:40,068
Speaker 4: Out what that price for other teams will look like.

268
00:11:40,148 --> 00:11:41,788
Speaker 4: How desperate are these teams going to be?

269
00:11:42,228 --> 00:11:45,468
Speaker 8: Now, do the Rams want to get rid of Matt Stafford? Definitely,

270
00:11:45,508 --> 00:11:46,988
Speaker 8: they don't want to get rid of Matt Stafford.

271
00:11:47,028 --> 00:11:49,428
Speaker 4: But if there is a desperate team that will give.

272
00:11:49,348 --> 00:11:53,388
Speaker 8: Them the proper pieces and the compensation that can set

273
00:11:53,468 --> 00:11:56,148
Speaker 8: them up for short term and long term success, I mean,

274
00:11:56,188 --> 00:11:58,348
Speaker 8: it might be something for them to entertain right because.

275
00:11:58,108 --> 00:12:00,708
Speaker 3: They're the rare situation right now where they're young and

276
00:12:00,908 --> 00:12:04,188
Speaker 3: they're good. Their defensive draft last year was off the charts.

277
00:12:04,268 --> 00:12:06,988
Speaker 3: You still have Poka Nukua coming into his own and

278
00:12:07,068 --> 00:12:10,228
Speaker 3: they decided to move on from Cooper Cup this offseason. Peter,

279
00:12:10,348 --> 00:12:12,028
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ping it back out to you. For as

280
00:12:12,108 --> 00:12:15,148
Speaker 3: much as there is the conspiracy theory talk about conversations

281
00:12:15,188 --> 00:12:17,988
Speaker 3: that are going on in Chalais in Montana, there's also

282
00:12:18,108 --> 00:12:21,108
Speaker 3: some conspiracy theory that's happening with the fact that Malibu

283
00:12:21,348 --> 00:12:23,948
Speaker 3: is a town that sits very close to Woodland Hills,

284
00:12:24,028 --> 00:12:27,548
Speaker 3: where the Rams practice who would be the contingency plan

285
00:12:27,908 --> 00:12:31,228
Speaker 3: for the Rams? And why does it rhyme with shmarn Rogers.

286
00:12:33,108 --> 00:12:34,068
Speaker 4: I mean it it would.

287
00:12:34,388 --> 00:12:37,028
Speaker 2: I mentioned this on Tuesday on the show, and they

288
00:12:37,148 --> 00:12:39,268
Speaker 2: like set off this like crazy windfall, but it's an

289
00:12:39,268 --> 00:12:42,988
Speaker 2: obvious connection. Malibu is home to Rogers. He's currently looking

290
00:12:43,068 --> 00:12:46,588
Speaker 2: for a suitor. We hear that he's actually been outright,

291
00:12:46,948 --> 00:12:49,708
Speaker 2: you know, saying that he still wants to play, and

292
00:12:50,028 --> 00:12:52,108
Speaker 2: Los Angeles would make a lot of sense if they

293
00:12:52,148 --> 00:12:54,468
Speaker 2: were to move on from Stafford. The issue is, of course,

294
00:12:54,588 --> 00:12:56,588
Speaker 2: what does he want? What is his money? If you

295
00:12:56,668 --> 00:12:58,388
Speaker 2: think about it this way, and if you're trying to wait,

296
00:12:58,468 --> 00:13:01,028
Speaker 2: if you're the Rams, you've got Stafford who's gonna want

297
00:13:01,028 --> 00:13:02,388
Speaker 2: a little bump and pay. And I you know, the

298
00:13:02,508 --> 00:13:04,588
Speaker 2: number I throughout earlier was fifty million. Outs think it

299
00:13:04,588 --> 00:13:06,868
Speaker 2: would get to fifty million with the Rams necessarily, but

300
00:13:07,028 --> 00:13:08,988
Speaker 2: if he's going to a new team, it would be

301
00:13:09,028 --> 00:13:11,228
Speaker 2: around fifty million. That's what I've been hearing just from

302
00:13:11,228 --> 00:13:13,988
Speaker 2: other teams and what the numbers have been. So you're

303
00:13:14,028 --> 00:13:16,548
Speaker 2: gonna pay Stafford that and then we just kind of

304
00:13:16,628 --> 00:13:18,028
Speaker 2: kick the can along and we see if we can

305
00:13:18,028 --> 00:13:19,428
Speaker 2: get to a Super Bowl. And then he's thirty eight

306
00:13:19,508 --> 00:13:22,028
Speaker 2: next year. Or do you tear it down now to

307
00:13:22,108 --> 00:13:27,348
Speaker 2: what Mantai is saying, trade Stafford, get draft picks in return,

308
00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:30,588
Speaker 2: and then spend a lot less on a guy like

309
00:13:30,708 --> 00:13:33,308
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers who is four years older and hasn't had

310
00:13:33,348 --> 00:13:35,828
Speaker 2: the last couple of seasons that Stafford has, and then

311
00:13:35,908 --> 00:13:37,988
Speaker 2: you have room to maybe bring in another free agent

312
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:42,548
Speaker 2: wide receiver to including potentially Devonte Adams. You start weighing

313
00:13:42,668 --> 00:13:44,548
Speaker 2: what this is and it's like, well, we know what

314
00:13:44,628 --> 00:13:47,028
Speaker 2: we got in this hand with Stafford. We love Stafford

315
00:13:47,108 --> 00:13:49,268
Speaker 2: and he's a fricking g as.

316
00:13:49,188 --> 00:13:49,668
Speaker 4: What you know.

317
00:13:49,788 --> 00:13:52,508
Speaker 2: McVeigh calls him. We know what we got. Are we

318
00:13:52,668 --> 00:13:54,668
Speaker 2: gonna be able to compete and get to a Super Bowl?

319
00:13:54,708 --> 00:13:54,948
Speaker 4: We can?

320
00:13:55,628 --> 00:13:57,708
Speaker 2: Or do we look to hey, what can we get

321
00:13:57,748 --> 00:14:00,148
Speaker 2: in exchange? But to me, if you're going to Rogers,

322
00:14:00,628 --> 00:14:03,068
Speaker 2: you're not resetting the clock. You're going to Rogers at

323
00:14:03,108 --> 00:14:05,068
Speaker 2: forty one. And is it not the same boat that

324
00:14:05,108 --> 00:14:08,228
Speaker 2: you are in with Stafford? I don't know. So you

325
00:14:08,308 --> 00:14:09,948
Speaker 2: look at it that way. And then there's this third

326
00:14:09,988 --> 00:14:12,548
Speaker 2: option of you go to Jimmy Garoppolo for about ten

327
00:14:12,628 --> 00:14:14,868
Speaker 2: to twelve million dollars and you say, we could spend

328
00:14:14,948 --> 00:14:16,868
Speaker 2: all the money in the world and get a draft pick,

329
00:14:17,068 --> 00:14:19,068
Speaker 2: and if Sean thinks he can win with Jimmy, well

330
00:14:19,108 --> 00:14:20,948
Speaker 2: then you're kind of really playing with fire and you

331
00:14:20,988 --> 00:14:23,468
Speaker 2: say let's go to war with that. I think right now,

332
00:14:23,548 --> 00:14:25,628
Speaker 2: as we sit here, I think Stafford still wants to

333
00:14:25,668 --> 00:14:27,388
Speaker 2: be a RAM. I think the Rams still wants Stafford.

334
00:14:27,428 --> 00:14:29,588
Speaker 2: I think money is the issue. At at some point,

335
00:14:29,868 --> 00:14:31,908
Speaker 2: figure it out. Let's roll it back one more year.

336
00:14:31,988 --> 00:14:34,908
Speaker 3: Peter, one more question. When they decided to move on

337
00:14:35,388 --> 00:14:37,708
Speaker 3: from Cooper Cup, that has to be a conversation that

338
00:14:37,828 --> 00:14:40,428
Speaker 3: includes Matthew Stafford, right, because it seems like everyone's on

339
00:14:40,588 --> 00:14:43,028
Speaker 3: good terms. But that is a guy that he worked

340
00:14:43,068 --> 00:14:45,828
Speaker 3: with four years. So is Stafford in the understanding that

341
00:14:46,188 --> 00:14:48,588
Speaker 3: that was a financial decision and he hass to accept

342
00:14:48,628 --> 00:14:50,868
Speaker 3: the future of this team is without Cooper Cup? Like,

343
00:14:50,948 --> 00:14:52,468
Speaker 3: how did that conversation go down?

344
00:14:52,548 --> 00:14:53,628
Speaker 4: And he must have been included.

345
00:14:55,708 --> 00:14:57,548
Speaker 2: I don't think he was included with the decision. I

346
00:14:57,588 --> 00:15:00,108
Speaker 2: think he was informed of the decision. But Stafford and

347
00:15:00,148 --> 00:15:02,388
Speaker 2: Cupp are as tight as it comes, and I don't

348
00:15:02,388 --> 00:15:05,668
Speaker 2: think he was necessarily punching the air upset. He understands

349
00:15:05,668 --> 00:15:08,788
Speaker 2: it's a business. But I don't think less Snead Kevin

350
00:15:08,828 --> 00:15:11,388
Speaker 2: Demoff and Sean McVay or sitting Matthew Stafford down and

351
00:15:11,428 --> 00:15:13,068
Speaker 2: saying should we bring Cup back? I think at this

352
00:15:13,188 --> 00:15:16,308
Speaker 2: point it's business and those guys get paid to do that. Stafford,

353
00:15:16,308 --> 00:15:17,708
Speaker 2: I don't think was in on that decision, and I

354
00:15:17,708 --> 00:15:19,628
Speaker 2: think that's almost better off. You don't want him to

355
00:15:19,628 --> 00:15:22,428
Speaker 2: be put in that position and say, hey, we're thinking

356
00:15:22,428 --> 00:15:24,228
Speaker 2: about bringing back your guy. Are you okay if we

357
00:15:24,548 --> 00:15:26,428
Speaker 2: trade him? That puts him in a really tough spot.

358
00:15:26,428 --> 00:15:29,028
Speaker 3: All right, Cody, let's focus on those words contingency plan

359
00:15:29,148 --> 00:15:32,828
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the screen. You have watched poetically

360
00:15:32,868 --> 00:15:36,228
Speaker 3: about Sean McVay. Great play caller, great young coach. Can

361
00:15:36,308 --> 00:15:38,628
Speaker 3: he get Jimmy Garoppolo to a place where this team

362
00:15:38,828 --> 00:15:40,788
Speaker 3: can play to the level that they expect to within

363
00:15:40,828 --> 00:15:41,988
Speaker 3: their division and their conference.

364
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:44,388
Speaker 4: That's the biggest question mark, you know, really, But when

365
00:15:44,388 --> 00:15:47,068
Speaker 4: you have a mind like Sean McVay, like Kyle Shannan,

366
00:15:47,188 --> 00:15:49,348
Speaker 4: guys like that, and Shanahan went to the Super Bowl

367
00:15:49,428 --> 00:15:52,468
Speaker 4: with Garoppolo, it's a little bit of a different offense,

368
00:15:52,708 --> 00:15:54,108
Speaker 4: and some of the pieces are a little bit different.

369
00:15:54,108 --> 00:15:56,108
Speaker 4: I understand that, but where you need to build no

370
00:15:56,188 --> 00:15:57,988
Speaker 4: matter who your quarterback is on the defensive side of

371
00:15:58,028 --> 00:15:59,788
Speaker 4: the ball, and they're starting to do that. I can

372
00:15:59,828 --> 00:16:02,428
Speaker 4: tell you personally at from you know being a former quarterback.

373
00:16:02,588 --> 00:16:04,068
Speaker 4: When your run game is working and you have a

374
00:16:04,108 --> 00:16:06,428
Speaker 4: great defense, it makes your life a lot easier. So

375
00:16:06,748 --> 00:16:09,148
Speaker 4: if they can build around they do let Stafford go

376
00:16:09,308 --> 00:16:10,908
Speaker 4: right right. They trade them to let them walk, and

377
00:16:11,348 --> 00:16:13,308
Speaker 4: they do go with Garoppolo as long as they build

378
00:16:13,348 --> 00:16:15,348
Speaker 4: a great run game and a great defense around him,

379
00:16:15,348 --> 00:16:16,948
Speaker 4: and that's where they use their money in free agency.

380
00:16:17,228 --> 00:16:18,988
Speaker 4: I don't see why not. It's just a big if

381
00:16:19,028 --> 00:16:21,148
Speaker 4: and I'm on board with shregs. Like I said earlier,

382
00:16:21,428 --> 00:16:22,988
Speaker 4: I think they find a way to get the deal done.

383
00:16:22,988 --> 00:16:25,388
Speaker 4: I think Stafford, even being thirty seven, I don't want

384
00:16:25,388 --> 00:16:26,708
Speaker 4: to say prime, but he's still one of the better

385
00:16:26,788 --> 00:16:28,948
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the NFL. I would love to see him

386
00:16:28,948 --> 00:16:30,028
Speaker 4: back in Los Angeles next year.

387
00:16:30,148 --> 00:16:31,788
Speaker 8: There are only a few teams that I think in

388
00:16:31,868 --> 00:16:35,148
Speaker 8: this NFL that have a system that really caters through

389
00:16:35,148 --> 00:16:37,508
Speaker 8: a quarterback. The Vikings are one of them, the forty

390
00:16:37,588 --> 00:16:39,628
Speaker 8: Niners are another, and the La Rams are the third.

391
00:16:39,748 --> 00:16:42,668
Speaker 8: I think whenever you're a quarterback like Jimmy Garoppolo, and

392
00:16:42,748 --> 00:16:45,628
Speaker 8: you're paired up with somebody like Sean McVay. Sean McVay

393
00:16:45,788 --> 00:16:48,268
Speaker 8: only does right by his quarterbacks. It doesn't matter who

394
00:16:48,308 --> 00:16:52,868
Speaker 8: you are. So regardless of Garoppolo's past and his performances

395
00:16:52,908 --> 00:16:55,948
Speaker 8: and all of that stuff, when I think of Sean McVay,

396
00:16:56,188 --> 00:16:58,628
Speaker 8: I always am going to be optimistic about it because

397
00:16:58,628 --> 00:16:59,948
Speaker 8: of the things that he's done in the past.

398
00:17:00,228 --> 00:17:03,228
Speaker 2: I would chime in that, you know, when Stafford was injured,

399
00:17:03,828 --> 00:17:06,268
Speaker 2: Brett Rip didn't played a game up in up in

400
00:17:06,388 --> 00:17:09,988
Speaker 2: Green Bay, did not go well. We saw of course

401
00:17:10,108 --> 00:17:12,268
Speaker 2: that you know, Baker Mayfield had a big Thursday night

402
00:17:12,348 --> 00:17:14,868
Speaker 2: game and a big Christmas get, like Sean's had it

403
00:17:14,908 --> 00:17:19,188
Speaker 2: pretty good at quarterback, Jared Goff and of course Matthew Stafford.

404
00:17:19,228 --> 00:17:20,908
Speaker 2: Over the last year. There are a lot of teams

405
00:17:20,948 --> 00:17:22,868
Speaker 2: that have been in the Abyss and have been in

406
00:17:22,948 --> 00:17:25,748
Speaker 2: the Pine Barons when it comes to quarterbacks, and you

407
00:17:25,788 --> 00:17:28,308
Speaker 2: could talk about the Browns and the Jets and the

408
00:17:28,468 --> 00:17:30,908
Speaker 2: Giants and like it's one of those things where you

409
00:17:31,028 --> 00:17:33,188
Speaker 2: might not know how good you have it until you don't.

410
00:17:33,588 --> 00:17:35,948
Speaker 2: And with Stafford still slinging it and they're five and

411
00:17:36,068 --> 00:17:37,868
Speaker 2: two in the playoffs, which is a pretty good record.

412
00:17:38,308 --> 00:17:41,188
Speaker 2: I really think that weighs heavy on that entire organization.

413
00:17:41,588 --> 00:17:43,428
Speaker 2: Are we willing to say goodbye to a guy who

414
00:17:43,468 --> 00:17:46,548
Speaker 2: got us one pass away from the NFC Championship game

415
00:17:46,628 --> 00:17:46,988
Speaker 2: last year?

416
00:17:47,388 --> 00:17:48,148
Speaker 4: Peter real quick?

417
00:17:48,148 --> 00:17:49,828
Speaker 8: I just wanted to add a little bit thing about

418
00:17:49,828 --> 00:17:53,028
Speaker 8: Sean McVay and just his brilliance. I remember when we

419
00:17:53,148 --> 00:17:56,268
Speaker 8: played the Rams in twenty seventeen, Jared Goff was still

420
00:17:56,268 --> 00:17:59,988
Speaker 8: their quarterback, and Sean McVay had installed a system where

421
00:18:00,268 --> 00:18:01,988
Speaker 8: they would get to the they'll get to the line

422
00:18:01,988 --> 00:18:04,188
Speaker 8: of scrimmage fast, remember that, like there are thirty seconds,

423
00:18:04,388 --> 00:18:06,388
Speaker 8: twenty five seconds left on the clock. And what he

424
00:18:06,508 --> 00:18:09,228
Speaker 8: would do, because he knew the limitations of his quarterback,

425
00:18:09,548 --> 00:18:11,988
Speaker 8: he would tell Jared Goff what to run. The reason

426
00:18:12,028 --> 00:18:13,548
Speaker 8: why they had to run up to the line of

427
00:18:13,548 --> 00:18:17,948
Speaker 8: scrimmage so fast was because the microphone in Jared Goff's

428
00:18:17,948 --> 00:18:20,628
Speaker 8: helmet goes off at fifteen seconds left on the play call,

429
00:18:20,908 --> 00:18:23,348
Speaker 8: so he could get them up there quick, reveal the

430
00:18:23,428 --> 00:18:26,068
Speaker 8: defense to them, and Sean McVay would tell him, hey,

431
00:18:26,348 --> 00:18:28,188
Speaker 8: run this play, and then you heard all the cold

432
00:18:28,268 --> 00:18:30,548
Speaker 8: words that Jared Goff would say what halle Berry, whatever

433
00:18:30,628 --> 00:18:32,908
Speaker 8: it was, that was Sean McVay telling him. Now, he

434
00:18:32,988 --> 00:18:35,548
Speaker 8: doesn't do that with Matt Stafford. But to the point

435
00:18:35,588 --> 00:18:37,988
Speaker 8: I made earlier, he knows the quarterback, he knows the

436
00:18:38,068 --> 00:18:41,908
Speaker 8: quarterback strengths, the quarterback's weaknesses, and he designs the system

437
00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:44,588
Speaker 8: around that quarterback to really help that quarterback to flourish.

438
00:18:44,628 --> 00:18:47,028
Speaker 8: So I think with Sean McVay, if you're a quarterback,

439
00:18:47,548 --> 00:18:48,228
Speaker 8: you're in good hands.

440
00:18:48,308 --> 00:18:49,988
Speaker 3: How hard and annoying was that to go up against?

441
00:18:51,428 --> 00:18:52,188
Speaker 4: This is unfair?

442
00:18:52,268 --> 00:18:53,908
Speaker 8: Like I'm already behind the eight ball, and now Sean

443
00:18:53,988 --> 00:18:57,028
Speaker 8: McVay is telling you what's run, Like, let's lose lose

444
00:18:57,108 --> 00:18:57,388
Speaker 8: for us?

445
00:18:58,508 --> 00:18:58,868
Speaker 4: All Right?

446
00:18:58,908 --> 00:19:00,628
Speaker 3: That was an awesome conversation about the Ray as we

447
00:19:00,708 --> 00:19:02,868
Speaker 3: look forward to one of the most intriguing teams this

448
00:19:03,028 --> 00:19:03,668
Speaker 3: off season.

449
00:19:06,508 --> 00:19:09,028
Speaker 4: If you're watching earlier, I struggled heavily with the game,

450
00:19:09,108 --> 00:19:12,108
Speaker 4: saving face, and I take that very personally. But now

451
00:19:12,108 --> 00:19:13,668
Speaker 4: we're playing a game that I am in control of,

452
00:19:13,748 --> 00:19:15,788
Speaker 4: shreg so I'm ready to go. This is called two

453
00:19:15,908 --> 00:19:18,228
Speaker 4: Lies and a Truth. What you're going to see is

454
00:19:18,308 --> 00:19:21,588
Speaker 4: three statements on the screen. Two of them are lies,

455
00:19:21,668 --> 00:19:24,068
Speaker 4: one of them is the truth about now We've got

456
00:19:24,108 --> 00:19:25,828
Speaker 4: to know each other for the last couple of days.

457
00:19:25,828 --> 00:19:27,708
Speaker 4: They don't know everything about me, so I tried to

458
00:19:27,868 --> 00:19:30,108
Speaker 4: dig deep. Me and Chris, our producer. I've been working

459
00:19:30,188 --> 00:19:31,948
Speaker 4: on this for the last twenty four hours, so I

460
00:19:32,028 --> 00:19:33,148
Speaker 4: take a lot of pride in this. So are you

461
00:19:33,148 --> 00:19:34,708
Speaker 4: guys ready to go? That's a matter.

462
00:19:34,948 --> 00:19:37,428
Speaker 3: It is about one more intense tregs and out for

463
00:19:37,548 --> 00:19:39,828
Speaker 3: revenge more than Cody Kessel right now in two lies

464
00:19:39,868 --> 00:19:40,268
Speaker 3: in the truth.

465
00:19:40,348 --> 00:19:43,268
Speaker 4: Well, I'm worried that Peter is going to crush this too,

466
00:19:43,388 --> 00:19:46,748
Speaker 4: So okay, all right, first round we are going with.

467
00:19:47,908 --> 00:19:52,468
Speaker 4: I have hit two hold in ones. I first dunked

468
00:19:52,508 --> 00:19:55,788
Speaker 4: a basketball in eighth grade, okay, and then lastly, I

469
00:19:55,908 --> 00:19:58,268
Speaker 4: was the first player to throw seven touchdowns in a

470
00:19:58,428 --> 00:20:02,588
Speaker 4: game against the Notre Dame fighting Irish Manti is laughing

471
00:20:02,588 --> 00:20:04,588
Speaker 4: because I feel like he thinks he knows it. Whenever

472
00:20:04,628 --> 00:20:07,468
Speaker 4: you guys are ready, Peter you can go first. Let

473
00:20:07,508 --> 00:20:08,708
Speaker 4: me know which one you think is the.

474
00:20:08,828 --> 00:20:09,468
Speaker 2: Trothy I be.

475
00:20:12,108 --> 00:20:12,348
Speaker 4: Okay.

476
00:20:12,468 --> 00:20:15,148
Speaker 2: So to Cody, I have such a huge fan hears

477
00:20:15,148 --> 00:20:17,908
Speaker 2: I think I revealed this on the first interaction we had.

478
00:20:18,868 --> 00:20:22,988
Speaker 2: I did a Fox game maybe in twenty sixteen. You

479
00:20:23,108 --> 00:20:25,788
Speaker 2: were one of the quarterbacks. You were a third round quarterback,

480
00:20:25,828 --> 00:20:27,548
Speaker 2: and I did a deep dive on you, and I

481
00:20:27,708 --> 00:20:31,148
Speaker 2: learned that you scored about eighteen thousand points in Bakersfield

482
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:34,868
Speaker 2: as a high school basketball star. You averaged thirty points

483
00:20:34,908 --> 00:20:37,668
Speaker 2: per game your junior year of high school. If you

484
00:20:37,788 --> 00:20:41,068
Speaker 2: do that, you're probably dunking in eighth grade. I've got

485
00:20:41,148 --> 00:20:43,268
Speaker 2: you more of like a Rex Chapman type than a

486
00:20:43,348 --> 00:20:47,348
Speaker 2: mac McClung. I go Brett Barry from the foul line

487
00:20:47,388 --> 00:20:50,948
Speaker 2: with the warm upside. I'm going the truth. The truth

488
00:20:51,028 --> 00:20:52,468
Speaker 2: is that you dunked a basketball in the eighth grade,

489
00:20:52,468 --> 00:20:53,988
Speaker 2: and you probably were dunking in fifth grade. You're an

490
00:20:53,988 --> 00:20:54,628
Speaker 2: awesome athlete.

491
00:20:54,788 --> 00:20:57,468
Speaker 3: Okay, Peter, I see that answer, and I understand you.

492
00:20:57,588 --> 00:20:59,748
Speaker 3: But this is also the man who in the last

493
00:20:59,828 --> 00:21:01,788
Speaker 3: three days have asked us, so can.

494
00:21:01,708 --> 00:21:03,748
Speaker 4: I wear like a golf polo on the show?

495
00:21:03,988 --> 00:21:06,348
Speaker 3: So I think I'm going to go with a I

496
00:21:06,468 --> 00:21:09,508
Speaker 3: think he has hit two hole in ones. He has

497
00:21:09,628 --> 00:21:11,748
Speaker 3: kind of that secret swagger to him, like he said,

498
00:21:11,788 --> 00:21:12,268
Speaker 3: too Hormon.

499
00:21:12,348 --> 00:21:14,348
Speaker 8: Okay, this is where I'm getting stuck, though, Jamie is

500
00:21:14,428 --> 00:21:17,948
Speaker 8: because knowing Cody in this few days is Cody likes

501
00:21:17,988 --> 00:21:22,748
Speaker 8: to compliment himself like very s screet, little slight flexes

502
00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:25,188
Speaker 8: when he talks to you, and him knowing I went

503
00:21:25,228 --> 00:21:26,908
Speaker 8: to Notre Dame, he did say, broke. Did you know

504
00:21:27,028 --> 00:21:29,708
Speaker 8: that I threw X amount of touchdowns against you guys?

505
00:21:30,868 --> 00:21:34,588
Speaker 8: So I'm going to go the truth is c that

506
00:21:34,708 --> 00:21:37,308
Speaker 8: he threw seven. Because I knew it was some absurd number.

507
00:21:37,668 --> 00:21:39,268
Speaker 8: I'll go, I'll go see all right, I.

508
00:21:39,308 --> 00:21:41,948
Speaker 4: Love it stumped. Yeah, so we'll start with this. A

509
00:21:42,988 --> 00:21:46,108
Speaker 4: is incorrect. I have not see and I love that

510
00:21:46,188 --> 00:21:47,948
Speaker 4: you t me up on this because I planted the

511
00:21:48,068 --> 00:21:53,228
Speaker 4: seed actually threw six touchdowns? Happen? You are correct? Being

512
00:21:53,308 --> 00:22:00,388
Speaker 4: my first dunk was there, great Norris middle hair. It

513
00:22:00,548 --> 00:22:02,268
Speaker 4: was a so I had to see that year, Peter.

514
00:22:02,308 --> 00:22:03,788
Speaker 4: The first one was a one handed dunk, and then

515
00:22:03,788 --> 00:22:05,828
Speaker 4: I had one of that wasn't That was the same

516
00:22:05,908 --> 00:22:07,868
Speaker 4: game that wasn't the dunk. And then a little bit

517
00:22:07,948 --> 00:22:09,988
Speaker 4: later in AAU, I had a two handed dunk in

518
00:22:10,108 --> 00:22:13,308
Speaker 4: eighth grade. So yes, unfortunately, yes, I'm an avid golfer.

519
00:22:13,468 --> 00:22:14,908
Speaker 4: I have never had a home one. But I was

520
00:22:14,988 --> 00:22:17,388
Speaker 4: the first player to throw six touchdowns against Notre Dame,

521
00:22:17,428 --> 00:22:17,828
Speaker 4: not seven.

522
00:22:18,388 --> 00:22:23,028
Speaker 2: Planning the seat on Kirstfield California. Yep, question Lakers Clipper,

523
00:22:23,228 --> 00:22:26,468
Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings, like, what was your team basketball wise?

524
00:22:26,468 --> 00:22:28,468
Speaker 4: As a kid Lakers fan? Rest in peace, Kobe. I

525
00:22:28,588 --> 00:22:31,348
Speaker 4: was a Kobe fan Diehard growing up. I'll always have been,

526
00:22:31,388 --> 00:22:33,748
Speaker 4: always will be there. You go, all right, number two?

527
00:22:34,868 --> 00:22:36,788
Speaker 4: Checkon round? Here we go. Peter is winning right now.

528
00:22:36,948 --> 00:22:39,628
Speaker 4: First one, Here we go. I dressed up as the

529
00:22:39,708 --> 00:22:44,268
Speaker 4: Blue Power Ranger for five straight halloweens. My parents named

530
00:22:44,308 --> 00:22:46,988
Speaker 4: me after a dog they once had before I was born,

531
00:22:47,868 --> 00:22:50,228
Speaker 4: and then I once nailed a sixty yard field goal

532
00:22:50,308 --> 00:22:53,788
Speaker 4: in practice at USC that is the University of Southern California,

533
00:22:53,948 --> 00:22:56,348
Speaker 4: the real US. Sure you all right, Peter, you are

534
00:22:56,348 --> 00:22:57,388
Speaker 4: on the clock. You are first.

535
00:22:59,388 --> 00:23:01,588
Speaker 2: Okay. The second one's kind of morbid. I don't want

536
00:23:01,628 --> 00:23:04,708
Speaker 2: to talk about your family's old dogs when I get

537
00:23:04,748 --> 00:23:10,148
Speaker 2: rid of that one Power Ranger five straight halloweens, very specific,

538
00:23:10,308 --> 00:23:13,548
Speaker 2: I don't think that's right. I'm gonna go see you're

539
00:23:13,588 --> 00:23:16,428
Speaker 2: one of these uber athletes that can dunk basketball's, hit

540
00:23:16,468 --> 00:23:19,068
Speaker 2: home in ones and then nail sixty yarc field though.

541
00:23:19,148 --> 00:23:21,108
Speaker 2: I'm going to go see, and especially it's that practice,

542
00:23:21,148 --> 00:23:23,188
Speaker 2: not in the game, Okay, Okay, I.

543
00:23:24,828 --> 00:23:25,668
Speaker 4: Love dogs.

544
00:23:25,788 --> 00:23:27,868
Speaker 3: And you know, I think the impact that they have

545
00:23:28,148 --> 00:23:31,188
Speaker 3: on people, especially if they have the dog before they

546
00:23:31,268 --> 00:23:33,948
Speaker 3: have kids, is profound. And if I were to have

547
00:23:34,068 --> 00:23:35,988
Speaker 3: a fourth child, would I name and it was a boy,

548
00:23:36,028 --> 00:23:37,268
Speaker 3: would I name him Toby.

549
00:23:37,148 --> 00:23:38,068
Speaker 4: After my current dog?

550
00:23:38,188 --> 00:23:41,348
Speaker 3: Perhaps, So I'm gonna go be I think Cody was

551
00:23:41,428 --> 00:23:43,628
Speaker 3: named after a dog, which is also a hilarious story.

552
00:23:44,228 --> 00:23:46,988
Speaker 8: I dressed up as sub Zero when I was a

553
00:23:46,988 --> 00:23:47,988
Speaker 8: little Halloween.

554
00:23:48,268 --> 00:23:49,028
Speaker 4: Now I didn't do it.

555
00:23:49,148 --> 00:23:50,428
Speaker 2: Five straight halloweens.

556
00:23:51,268 --> 00:23:53,788
Speaker 8: Yes, I didn't do it five straight halloweens, but I.

557
00:23:53,788 --> 00:23:55,028
Speaker 4: Did dress up at sub zero.

558
00:23:55,468 --> 00:23:57,948
Speaker 8: And to Code's credit is again, how well do you

559
00:23:58,028 --> 00:24:00,468
Speaker 8: know Cody? Cody has shown up here four days in

560
00:24:00,548 --> 00:24:03,628
Speaker 8: a row at three am. So I'm gonna go with A.

561
00:24:03,988 --> 00:24:07,628
Speaker 4: Is the proof that's the truth? Is A? All right?

562
00:24:07,628 --> 00:24:09,268
Speaker 4: I love that everyone's picking a different one. Okay, so

563
00:24:09,428 --> 00:24:13,388
Speaker 4: we'll start with see, I have never even been close

564
00:24:13,428 --> 00:24:15,988
Speaker 4: to a sixty yard field going practice, so that one

565
00:24:16,108 --> 00:24:20,828
Speaker 4: is wrong. B No, never had a dog named Cody.

566
00:24:20,908 --> 00:24:24,108
Speaker 4: The correct answer, man Tie is A. I dressed up

567
00:24:24,108 --> 00:24:26,468
Speaker 4: as a Blue Power Ranger for five straight halloweens. And

568
00:24:26,548 --> 00:24:29,668
Speaker 4: the backstory on that is they begged me to change

569
00:24:30,108 --> 00:24:31,948
Speaker 4: to where Okay, we've done it enough. That's me on

570
00:24:32,028 --> 00:24:34,508
Speaker 4: the left. That is that is my best friend Drew

571
00:24:34,588 --> 00:24:36,068
Speaker 4: on the right. That's me on the left. That is

572
00:24:36,228 --> 00:24:38,388
Speaker 4: what ninety six, So that's probably like the third or

573
00:24:38,388 --> 00:24:41,388
Speaker 4: fourth year. I had two more to go, and it

574
00:24:41,468 --> 00:24:42,948
Speaker 4: got to the point when we got the Halloween to

575
00:24:42,988 --> 00:24:44,828
Speaker 4: our don't even ask him, just pull the Blue Power ringer.

576
00:24:45,108 --> 00:24:47,988
Speaker 4: Did you wear the same costume? Ye think I wore

577
00:24:48,148 --> 00:24:49,748
Speaker 4: three years in a row, and then it started getting

578
00:24:49,748 --> 00:24:52,068
Speaker 4: too small, and then we had to go by a

579
00:24:52,148 --> 00:24:54,348
Speaker 4: new one. Yet, so it was five straight years. I

580
00:24:54,508 --> 00:24:57,068
Speaker 4: was the Blue Power Ranger. So very good man. That

581
00:24:57,148 --> 00:24:59,228
Speaker 4: was correct on that. He's good though. I like it.

582
00:24:59,308 --> 00:25:02,868
Speaker 4: I like it. They're not a obvious. That's what tie

583
00:25:02,908 --> 00:25:05,908
Speaker 4: Breaker or Jamie can time up. Here we go. I

584
00:25:06,028 --> 00:25:09,348
Speaker 4: have finished in the top fifty at the Los Angeles Marathon.

585
00:25:10,228 --> 00:25:12,548
Speaker 4: While I was at USC, I was an extra in

586
00:25:12,628 --> 00:25:16,308
Speaker 4: the movie Furius seven. Or I once saved Bryan from

587
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:20,548
Speaker 4: a crowd of people. These are awesome, Peter, we will

588
00:25:20,548 --> 00:25:21,908
Speaker 4: start with you again. You were on the clock.

589
00:25:24,428 --> 00:25:27,628
Speaker 2: I just think of you USC quarterbacks. You're such Hollywood

590
00:25:27,908 --> 00:25:29,628
Speaker 2: like you got I mean, I think of Matt Lionard

591
00:25:29,668 --> 00:25:31,668
Speaker 2: in a hot tub, hanging out with like you know

592
00:25:31,868 --> 00:25:34,908
Speaker 2: everyone from Paris Hill and who every else? Like you're

593
00:25:34,948 --> 00:25:36,868
Speaker 2: obviously an extra in a movie. You probably could have

594
00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:39,148
Speaker 2: been the leading role with Vin Diesel. I'm gonna say definitely.

595
00:25:39,548 --> 00:25:42,428
Speaker 2: You were in Furious seven and you had some lines,

596
00:25:42,468 --> 00:25:44,188
Speaker 2: but that it just cut off on the cutting room floor.

597
00:25:44,228 --> 00:25:46,548
Speaker 2: And you've got this amazing Hollywood career. You have a

598
00:25:46,628 --> 00:25:48,628
Speaker 2: sad card, the whole thing. You're an actor.

599
00:25:48,788 --> 00:25:49,828
Speaker 4: Let's go. I love it. Yay.

600
00:25:49,908 --> 00:25:52,868
Speaker 3: I am gonna agree with Peter because of what Matt

601
00:25:53,068 --> 00:25:55,868
Speaker 3: I said before. Cody does have a very specific gift

602
00:25:55,948 --> 00:25:59,748
Speaker 3: of just dropping pretty epic stories into conversations. I feel like,

603
00:25:59,868 --> 00:26:03,108
Speaker 3: by this point, nearly fifteen hours of television, and he

604
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:05,708
Speaker 3: would have told us if he saved Luke Bryan from

605
00:26:05,708 --> 00:26:06,348
Speaker 3: a crowd of people.

606
00:26:06,428 --> 00:26:07,868
Speaker 4: So I will also go with THEE.

607
00:26:08,108 --> 00:26:10,868
Speaker 8: I will go with THEE. Okay, guys, are we all

608
00:26:10,948 --> 00:26:11,908
Speaker 8: jumping in the same pool.

609
00:26:12,028 --> 00:26:14,148
Speaker 4: Let's just try that. Let's do it for this one.

610
00:26:14,148 --> 00:26:14,628
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go.

611
00:26:14,788 --> 00:26:17,988
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go be because I played some music earlier

612
00:26:18,468 --> 00:26:21,268
Speaker 8: and Cody could reference all the rap and all the

613
00:26:21,348 --> 00:26:23,588
Speaker 8: hip hop songs Luke Brian omassee.

614
00:26:23,828 --> 00:26:25,748
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure he listened to Luke Brian.

615
00:26:25,948 --> 00:26:28,228
Speaker 8: However, he was bumping too some raps, so I don't

616
00:26:28,228 --> 00:26:30,468
Speaker 8: think it's see. I'm gonna go be with my brother

617
00:26:30,588 --> 00:26:31,508
Speaker 8: Shregs and my.

618
00:26:31,668 --> 00:26:35,228
Speaker 4: Sister Jamie b All right, we're gonna start with a

619
00:26:35,708 --> 00:26:39,828
Speaker 4: I have never and never will never do a marathon,

620
00:26:39,988 --> 00:26:41,588
Speaker 4: so that one is incorrect. I'm gonna go with the

621
00:26:41,668 --> 00:26:44,628
Speaker 4: right answer. So we're gonna go straight into The correct

622
00:26:44,708 --> 00:26:51,148
Speaker 4: answer is c no, and I will tell the shortened

623
00:26:51,228 --> 00:26:53,588
Speaker 4: version of the story. I want saved Luke Brian from

624
00:26:53,628 --> 00:26:56,228
Speaker 4: a crowd of people. He was performing in Stage Coach

625
00:26:56,268 --> 00:26:59,188
Speaker 4: from Lukington, California, HU and he's ready to be that

626
00:26:59,388 --> 00:27:01,588
Speaker 4: the main stage performer that night. He was heading the show.

627
00:27:02,068 --> 00:27:04,628
Speaker 4: We go to a convenience store to get some food

628
00:27:04,628 --> 00:27:05,788
Speaker 4: to throw on the grill. We're getting ready to go

629
00:27:05,868 --> 00:27:08,348
Speaker 4: back and wait, huge crowd, right, So we walked by

630
00:27:08,828 --> 00:27:10,508
Speaker 4: and me and my buddy one of my best friends

631
00:27:10,588 --> 00:27:12,588
Speaker 4: next hurt Rest in Peace, a former teammate of mine,

632
00:27:12,588 --> 00:27:15,908
Speaker 4: were walking by and we're like, there's a huge crowd

633
00:27:15,948 --> 00:27:17,428
Speaker 4: of people. I'm like, okay, we don't really see it.

634
00:27:17,468 --> 00:27:19,388
Speaker 4: We go inside, we come back out, it's gotten even bigger,

635
00:27:19,868 --> 00:27:22,148
Speaker 4: so we peek over and I'm like, next, that is

636
00:27:22,268 --> 00:27:24,188
Speaker 4: Luke Bryant in the middle of that pile. And he's like,

637
00:27:24,228 --> 00:27:26,268
Speaker 4: there's no way he's sitting here by himself at a

638
00:27:26,308 --> 00:27:28,228
Speaker 4: convenience store. Shirt enough long story shorty, it is him.

639
00:27:28,588 --> 00:27:29,988
Speaker 4: We walk up, We wait our turn. I'm like, man,

640
00:27:29,988 --> 00:27:31,388
Speaker 4: we're gonna look weird. We don't want to get a photo.

641
00:27:31,388 --> 00:27:33,828
Speaker 4: Everyone else is doing it. I walk up and go Luke,

642
00:27:33,868 --> 00:27:37,188
Speaker 4: can we And as soon as he sees us, immediately

643
00:27:37,308 --> 00:27:39,028
Speaker 4: rolled with it. He said, oh hey, guys, my boys

644
00:27:39,068 --> 00:27:40,908
Speaker 4: are here. We got to get going. We're leaving. We're rolling.

645
00:27:41,348 --> 00:27:43,268
Speaker 4: So he used us and we had no idea. We're like,

646
00:27:43,308 --> 00:27:46,468
Speaker 4: oh yeah, yeah, okay, we're here. Walk away, walk around

647
00:27:46,468 --> 00:27:48,508
Speaker 4: the corner. His manager, Jay Williams, comes out and he

648
00:27:48,628 --> 00:27:50,748
Speaker 4: kind of stops the crowd. We get around. He goes, hey, guys,

649
00:27:50,748 --> 00:27:52,028
Speaker 4: thank you so much. I had to get out of there.

650
00:27:52,028 --> 00:27:53,748
Speaker 4: I just use you guys. Let's get a photo, take

651
00:27:53,748 --> 00:27:55,588
Speaker 4: a photo. Start talking a little bit. Sold when we

652
00:27:55,628 --> 00:27:58,268
Speaker 4: play at USC he said, he's a diehard Georgia Bulldog fan,

653
00:27:58,628 --> 00:28:00,468
Speaker 4: said he watched our game on College Game DAGA and

654
00:28:00,468 --> 00:28:02,748
Speaker 4: Stanford earlier that year. Said oh yeah, I cat so

655
00:28:02,868 --> 00:28:06,108
Speaker 4: the quarterback invited us back to his house to hang out.

656
00:28:06,508 --> 00:28:08,188
Speaker 4: We thought he was joking. Sure enough, we'll get in

657
00:28:08,228 --> 00:28:10,588
Speaker 4: the car. We leave. His manager text me five minutes later, Hey,

658
00:28:10,668 --> 00:28:12,788
Speaker 4: here's the addresser's a gate code. Go to his house, hangout.

659
00:28:12,948 --> 00:28:15,148
Speaker 4: It's him Florida or the line. His manager had an

660
00:28:15,148 --> 00:28:17,508
Speaker 4: absolute blast, went to the concert, He invited us back

661
00:28:17,548 --> 00:28:20,068
Speaker 4: over afterwards, went back, hung out and stead of the

662
00:28:20,148 --> 00:28:23,268
Speaker 4: day good friends with Luke his entire team, and that

663
00:28:23,508 --> 00:28:25,828
Speaker 4: was the gateway to getting the no Kinny Chesney and

664
00:28:25,948 --> 00:28:27,948
Speaker 4: Lee Brice and all of them got really close to them.

665
00:28:28,508 --> 00:28:30,188
Speaker 4: It was a cool story. It was out of nowhere.

666
00:28:30,228 --> 00:28:32,028
Speaker 4: I mean we went there on a whim to grab

667
00:28:32,108 --> 00:28:34,388
Speaker 4: some stakes to throw on the grill, huge pile. Luke

668
00:28:34,428 --> 00:28:37,828
Speaker 4: Bryan asked for a photo, and I mean instantaneously said,

669
00:28:38,068 --> 00:28:39,588
Speaker 4: oh my boys, you're here. We got to go and

670
00:28:39,708 --> 00:28:42,308
Speaker 4: Cody exactly. So yes, with that being said, we have

671
00:28:42,388 --> 00:28:44,628
Speaker 4: a tie with Mantai and Peter. Yeah.

672
00:28:44,708 --> 00:28:46,628
Speaker 3: The f here was the subtle flex in that story.

673
00:28:46,708 --> 00:28:49,628
Speaker 3: He said he get the manager texted me the gate code.

674
00:28:49,828 --> 00:28:53,988
Speaker 3: Like the fact that you have not only Luke Brian gatecode, Tody.

675
00:28:56,268 --> 00:28:57,988
Speaker 4: Staying at a place that had a gatecoade. They were

676
00:28:58,028 --> 00:29:00,028
Speaker 4: staying at a place that had a gatecode. You got

677
00:29:00,028 --> 00:29:01,188
Speaker 4: to use one to get in. They were ritt in

678
00:29:01,188 --> 00:29:05,668
Speaker 4: the house code. Unbelievable people his team, Luke, Brian, everybody, Cody.

679
00:29:05,748 --> 00:29:08,588
Speaker 2: I saw that Kenny Chesney's playing the Sphere in Vegas

680
00:29:08,628 --> 00:29:09,988
Speaker 2: in a couple of months. If you can hook me

681
00:29:10,108 --> 00:29:11,588
Speaker 2: up with just a ticket, I don't need to day code.

682
00:29:11,628 --> 00:29:12,188
Speaker 2: I would love to go.

683
00:29:12,908 --> 00:29:15,268
Speaker 4: Happened my story Kenny Chesney went and saw him at

684
00:29:15,308 --> 00:29:17,148
Speaker 4: the Rose Bowl. He invited us on stage on Boys

685
00:29:17,188 --> 00:29:19,748
Speaker 4: the Fall, took us backstage. His manager, texting the next day,

686
00:29:19,788 --> 00:29:21,668
Speaker 4: said Kenny was wondering if he could have your number

687
00:29:21,708 --> 00:29:25,788
Speaker 4: to text you. I said, slight, yes, please, can you like?

688
00:29:25,828 --> 00:29:28,068
Speaker 4: What are we talking about? Can I have the honor

689
00:29:28,108 --> 00:29:30,268
Speaker 4: of him text me? But anyways, yes, I was. I

690
00:29:30,468 --> 00:29:32,668
Speaker 4: was in with the country crowd when I was at

691
00:29:32,748 --> 00:29:35,468
Speaker 4: USC But yeah, that is two lies and a truth.

692
00:29:35,508 --> 00:29:39,588
Speaker 4: We have a tie. So maybe whatever you win, okay,

693
00:29:39,668 --> 00:29:42,028
Speaker 4: with those stories, that's it. That's all we care about.

694
00:29:42,628 --> 00:29:45,788
Speaker 4: And you said, he said, Mantai the planting the seed

695
00:29:45,828 --> 00:29:47,868
Speaker 4: on the humble brags, you weren't paying attention close enough.

696
00:29:48,268 --> 00:29:50,308
Speaker 4: I got him the Nerdame touchdown.

697
00:29:49,988 --> 00:29:54,588
Speaker 3: Question code look get the power er go go power bag.

698
00:29:54,708 --> 00:29:59,828
Speaker 4: Here we go forty nine or GM.

699
00:29:59,948 --> 00:30:02,788
Speaker 3: John Lynch spoke to the media yesterday at the Combine

700
00:30:02,828 --> 00:30:05,988
Speaker 3: and was asked about the ongoing negotiations with the nine

701
00:30:06,028 --> 00:30:08,028
Speaker 3: Ers quarterback Brock Party. Here's the answer.

702
00:30:09,388 --> 00:30:10,828
Speaker 9: We have started negotiations.

703
00:30:10,868 --> 00:30:11,388
Speaker 4: We're talking.

704
00:30:12,348 --> 00:30:15,828
Speaker 9: I won't go into negotiations, like always is our stance.

705
00:30:16,468 --> 00:30:18,708
Speaker 9: Want brought to be our quarterback as long as we're

706
00:30:18,748 --> 00:30:22,828
Speaker 9: here and beyond, and we'll leave it at that. I

707
00:30:22,908 --> 00:30:26,108
Speaker 9: think the final thing, there's no guarantees that we get

708
00:30:26,188 --> 00:30:30,308
Speaker 9: something done, but my experience has been when both sides

709
00:30:30,308 --> 00:30:33,428
Speaker 9: are motivated, there's ample opportunity to do so, and we've

710
00:30:33,748 --> 00:30:34,468
Speaker 9: been able to do that.

711
00:30:34,628 --> 00:30:38,988
Speaker 3: So John Lynch hoping that brock Party just as motivated,

712
00:30:39,028 --> 00:30:41,628
Speaker 3: to say, the forty nine ers quarterback for a long time. Peter,

713
00:30:42,028 --> 00:30:45,388
Speaker 3: your thoughts on John Lynch's take there the fact that

714
00:30:45,428 --> 00:30:47,388
Speaker 3: they're going to keep a private but at least that's

715
00:30:47,428 --> 00:30:49,268
Speaker 3: a pretty positive sentiment for a quarterback.

716
00:30:51,148 --> 00:30:53,468
Speaker 2: I think the Party conversation is taking a back seat

717
00:30:53,508 --> 00:30:55,908
Speaker 2: to the Stafford conversation, and a lot of people are

718
00:30:55,988 --> 00:30:58,268
Speaker 2: looking at those top ten quarterbacks and how much they

719
00:30:58,308 --> 00:31:01,748
Speaker 2: get paid. You know, Twoa's making more than fifty million dollars,

720
00:31:01,788 --> 00:31:04,868
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence is making more than fifty million dollars. Should

721
00:31:04,868 --> 00:31:07,548
Speaker 2: Brock perty make more than fifty dollars? I think he will.

722
00:31:08,068 --> 00:31:10,108
Speaker 2: And if that's the case, that's where the Stafford camp

723
00:31:10,268 --> 00:31:12,148
Speaker 2: is like, well, what are we talking about here? If

724
00:31:12,148 --> 00:31:14,908
Speaker 2: you're gonna pay Purty Tua and Trevor Lawrence that money,

725
00:31:14,948 --> 00:31:18,908
Speaker 2: why can't Why can't Stafford make that money? So it's

726
00:31:18,948 --> 00:31:22,108
Speaker 2: an interesting offseason for the Niners. There's been some changes

727
00:31:22,148 --> 00:31:25,108
Speaker 2: along the coaching staff. Of course, on the defensive side.

728
00:31:25,148 --> 00:31:27,668
Speaker 2: I leave Brian Grease. He's no longer on the offensive

729
00:31:27,708 --> 00:31:29,868
Speaker 2: side from what we're hearing, And now it's like do

730
00:31:29,988 --> 00:31:31,628
Speaker 2: we give Purdy all the money? And then what do

731
00:31:31,708 --> 00:31:33,348
Speaker 2: we do with Deebo and some of these other guys.

732
00:31:33,428 --> 00:31:36,348
Speaker 2: So weird offsea for the Niners. Usually they're coming fresh

733
00:31:36,388 --> 00:31:39,068
Speaker 2: off a big playoff appearance or a Super Bowl appearance.

734
00:31:39,348 --> 00:31:41,788
Speaker 2: They missed the playoffs last year, and now it's your

735
00:31:41,828 --> 00:31:44,028
Speaker 2: reward party. I think he will get paid. I just

736
00:31:44,068 --> 00:31:46,228
Speaker 2: don't know the timetable exactly when that's gonna happen.

737
00:31:46,748 --> 00:31:49,108
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree that this is Brock perty served five

738
00:31:49,188 --> 00:31:51,788
Speaker 4: million dollars next year, and that's what he's doing. Absolutely

739
00:31:51,828 --> 00:31:53,348
Speaker 4: not he deserves more than that, right, But just what

740
00:31:53,508 --> 00:31:55,468
Speaker 4: that number is going to be, I have no idea.

741
00:31:55,548 --> 00:31:57,228
Speaker 4: If you look at twenty twenty two, he comes in,

742
00:31:57,308 --> 00:32:00,708
Speaker 4: plays well, goes to the NFC Championship game. Here's his UCL, right,

743
00:32:00,748 --> 00:32:03,628
Speaker 4: and then he recovers, comes back twenty twenty three, plays tremendous,

744
00:32:03,708 --> 00:32:06,788
Speaker 4: comes out and has thirty one touchdowns, forty two hundred yards,

745
00:32:06,908 --> 00:32:09,268
Speaker 4: only eleven interceptions, goes to the Super Bowls one stop

746
00:32:09,348 --> 00:32:11,828
Speaker 4: away from winning the Super Bowl against the Chiefs. And

747
00:32:11,908 --> 00:32:14,668
Speaker 4: then last year, right, regresses a little bit. They struggle,

748
00:32:14,828 --> 00:32:17,028
Speaker 4: they go six and eleven, they don't make the playoffs. Right,

749
00:32:17,348 --> 00:32:20,028
Speaker 4: they finished fourth in their division. He had twenty touchdowns

750
00:32:20,068 --> 00:32:22,708
Speaker 4: and twelve interceptions. And now we're talking contract. I think

751
00:32:22,788 --> 00:32:25,028
Speaker 4: that's the problem for brock Purty right now. And like

752
00:32:25,108 --> 00:32:27,388
Speaker 4: Peter said, they have a lot of unrestricted free agents.

753
00:32:27,468 --> 00:32:29,148
Speaker 4: And something that set out to me with John Lenz

754
00:32:29,228 --> 00:32:31,108
Speaker 4: was the end of that quote he mentioned, look, there's

755
00:32:31,188 --> 00:32:33,588
Speaker 4: no guarantee, but will endeavor to get it done. That

756
00:32:33,708 --> 00:32:35,988
Speaker 4: just tells me I think this deal is going to

757
00:32:35,988 --> 00:32:38,708
Speaker 4: be a little bit more difficult than people anticipated. Now Again,

758
00:32:38,788 --> 00:32:40,828
Speaker 4: like I said, brock Purtty absolutely deserves to be paid.

759
00:32:40,988 --> 00:32:42,628
Speaker 4: I just don't know what that number is going to be.

760
00:32:42,748 --> 00:32:45,468
Speaker 8: Well, I agree with your Cody that the forty nine

761
00:32:45,508 --> 00:32:48,708
Speaker 8: ers as a whole regressed this past year. As far

762
00:32:48,748 --> 00:32:51,668
Speaker 8: as brock Purty's concerned, I think he progressed. I think

763
00:32:51,708 --> 00:32:54,188
Speaker 8: he played his best ball in twenty twenty four. I

764
00:32:54,308 --> 00:32:56,668
Speaker 8: remember watching him right over here across the street at

765
00:32:56,708 --> 00:32:59,908
Speaker 8: Sofi Stadium in this very game against the La Rams

766
00:33:00,188 --> 00:33:03,628
Speaker 8: go without a Christian McCaffrey, without a Deebo Samuel have

767
00:33:04,028 --> 00:33:08,628
Speaker 8: Joan Jennings. That isn't Jeorgane Jennings, that's just number one

768
00:33:08,708 --> 00:33:09,948
Speaker 8: receiver and going for like three or.

769
00:33:09,908 --> 00:33:13,908
Speaker 2: Four touchdowns in Juwan there was George Kittle was in.

770
00:33:13,988 --> 00:33:16,868
Speaker 8: And out, Brandon New York got heart. So I think

771
00:33:16,948 --> 00:33:20,028
Speaker 8: that brock Purty is more than deserving. He fits their scheme.

772
00:33:20,228 --> 00:33:22,148
Speaker 8: He plays with a chip on his shoulder, and for

773
00:33:22,268 --> 00:33:24,748
Speaker 8: some reason, he just seems like somebody that plays beyond.

774
00:33:25,068 --> 00:33:27,148
Speaker 8: He plays the game for more than just the money,

775
00:33:27,188 --> 00:33:28,748
Speaker 8: and no matter how much you pay him, he's still

776
00:33:28,748 --> 00:33:30,628
Speaker 8: going to show up as brock Purty number thirteen, the

777
00:33:30,708 --> 00:33:32,708
Speaker 8: captain of your team and he's still going to compete.

778
00:33:32,748 --> 00:33:35,108
Speaker 8: So I think he's more than more than deserving of

779
00:33:35,188 --> 00:33:35,668
Speaker 8: a payday.

780
00:33:36,108 --> 00:33:38,108
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I agree with you, And that was an

781
00:33:38,108 --> 00:33:39,668
Speaker 3: awesome game for him, and the fact that it is

782
00:33:39,708 --> 00:33:41,068
Speaker 3: third in Juwan and he had to go first and

783
00:33:41,188 --> 00:33:43,508
Speaker 3: second down to Juwan in that game, Cody, I'll ask you,

784
00:33:43,828 --> 00:33:45,988
Speaker 3: Peter is right, Brian Griese is stepping away from the

785
00:33:46,028 --> 00:33:48,548
Speaker 3: forty nine ers as the Brock Purty's quarterback coach or

786
00:33:48,588 --> 00:33:51,148
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks coach of the team. We don't know the

787
00:33:51,228 --> 00:33:55,028
Speaker 3: necessary organization is different, how that role applies to this quarterback.

788
00:33:55,108 --> 00:33:58,028
Speaker 3: But you can't not look at how these two were

789
00:33:58,108 --> 00:34:01,028
Speaker 3: tethered and brock Purty's drafting, because there is a great

790
00:34:01,108 --> 00:34:05,668
Speaker 3: takeout there that Greasy ranked Purty above a ton of

791
00:34:05,828 --> 00:34:08,508
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in this draft that everybody.

792
00:34:08,108 --> 00:34:08,708
Speaker 4: Passed on him.

793
00:34:08,788 --> 00:34:11,948
Speaker 3: So what's that relationship like and how could not having

794
00:34:12,028 --> 00:34:13,068
Speaker 3: Brian Greasie their effect?

795
00:34:13,228 --> 00:34:15,908
Speaker 4: Rock Berdie Absolutely, I mean, you spend more time with

796
00:34:15,988 --> 00:34:17,788
Speaker 4: these coaches than you do your own family. Right, you

797
00:34:17,868 --> 00:34:20,148
Speaker 4: go the offseason, you go OTAs, you go fall camp,

798
00:34:20,348 --> 00:34:22,068
Speaker 4: you do all these different things. When you're home and

799
00:34:22,108 --> 00:34:24,868
Speaker 4: you're sending videos to your coaches. I had multiple coaches

800
00:34:25,028 --> 00:34:26,588
Speaker 4: when I was in the NFL, I had multiple coaches

801
00:34:26,628 --> 00:34:29,028
Speaker 4: in college. I had five different coaches my three years

802
00:34:29,028 --> 00:34:31,308
Speaker 4: at USC. It's so tough when you don't have continuity,

803
00:34:31,428 --> 00:34:33,028
Speaker 4: when you don't have consistency. But at the end of

804
00:34:33,028 --> 00:34:35,268
Speaker 4: the day, he still has Kyle Shanahan, right, That's who

805
00:34:35,308 --> 00:34:37,148
Speaker 4: calls the plays. But for me, the biggest thing for

806
00:34:37,228 --> 00:34:39,908
Speaker 4: them to take the next step is being able to

807
00:34:39,948 --> 00:34:42,148
Speaker 4: have enough money to spend on their defense. They're losing

808
00:34:42,228 --> 00:34:47,068
Speaker 4: some key unrestricted free agents Tallahoah Hafunga, Tarvarius Ward, Javon Hargrave,

809
00:34:47,148 --> 00:34:48,988
Speaker 4: Drake green Law, these guys are all due to be

810
00:34:49,068 --> 00:34:51,228
Speaker 4: gone next year if they don't spend their money in

811
00:34:51,228 --> 00:34:53,108
Speaker 4: the right place and build this defense that was twenty

812
00:34:53,188 --> 00:34:56,068
Speaker 4: seventh in scoring defense last year, which we're used to

813
00:34:56,108 --> 00:34:58,708
Speaker 4: seeing a very good San Francisco forty nine or defense

814
00:34:58,708 --> 00:35:00,348
Speaker 4: carry them a little bit along the way, have a

815
00:35:00,388 --> 00:35:02,948
Speaker 4: good run game. They've got to take control of a

816
00:35:02,988 --> 00:35:05,108
Speaker 4: lot of other things instead of just playing or paying

817
00:35:05,188 --> 00:35:06,948
Speaker 4: rock party. So it's going to be difficult to see

818
00:35:06,948 --> 00:35:07,188
Speaker 4: how they.

819
00:35:07,188 --> 00:35:09,748
Speaker 3: Navigate this all right, So in terms of bolstring and defense, Cody,

820
00:35:09,828 --> 00:35:12,188
Speaker 3: I'll take your queue in going for two, Let's go

821
00:35:12,228 --> 00:35:14,708
Speaker 3: on to our next topic. Brown's All Pro defensive end.

822
00:35:15,068 --> 00:35:19,548
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett requested a trade out of Cleveland earlier this month,

823
00:35:19,788 --> 00:35:23,028
Speaker 3: and he put out a statement as follows. There's a

824
00:35:23,108 --> 00:35:25,508
Speaker 3: lot of sentiment in there, but really his goal was

825
00:35:25,588 --> 00:35:28,148
Speaker 3: to go from Cleveland to Canton, and it's always to

826
00:35:28,268 --> 00:35:30,948
Speaker 3: compete for a Super Bowl and win. But he feels

827
00:35:31,028 --> 00:35:34,188
Speaker 3: that what's happening right now won't allow him to be complacent,

828
00:35:34,228 --> 00:35:37,068
Speaker 3: and it's hindering him from that pathway that being said.

829
00:35:37,468 --> 00:35:41,588
Speaker 3: Head coach Kevin Sefanski then spoke about Miles Garrett yesterday

830
00:35:41,588 --> 00:35:43,948
Speaker 3: at the combine. Let's take a listen to those thoughs.

831
00:35:44,988 --> 00:35:46,228
Speaker 4: I think the world of Miles.

832
00:35:47,148 --> 00:35:48,748
Speaker 7: You know, I understand the business of football, and I

833
00:35:48,828 --> 00:35:52,068
Speaker 7: understand these things happen from time to time. But I

834
00:35:52,148 --> 00:35:55,348
Speaker 7: expect Miles on our team this year, next year, the

835
00:35:55,428 --> 00:35:57,508
Speaker 7: year after that, and so on. He's a part of

836
00:35:57,548 --> 00:35:58,708
Speaker 7: the president, He's a part of the future.

837
00:36:00,468 --> 00:36:01,948
Speaker 4: Peter, this feels a little awkward.

838
00:36:02,108 --> 00:36:04,348
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett is asking to leave and the head coach

839
00:36:04,628 --> 00:36:06,468
Speaker 3: saying he saying he is a part of the future.

840
00:36:06,868 --> 00:36:10,108
Speaker 2: Your thoughts not so awkward. I mean, Miles Garrett spent

841
00:36:10,188 --> 00:36:13,228
Speaker 2: Super Bowl week doing radio row and talking about his

842
00:36:13,348 --> 00:36:16,028
Speaker 2: trade requests and where he'd like to go and dictating

843
00:36:16,108 --> 00:36:18,548
Speaker 2: his future. And then now the microphones are on the

844
00:36:18,588 --> 00:36:20,948
Speaker 2: Browns brass and both to fans, ke Andrew Berry like, well,

845
00:36:20,948 --> 00:36:24,228
Speaker 2: we're not going anywhere. It could get contentious. But also

846
00:36:24,388 --> 00:36:26,308
Speaker 2: you're under contract. We pay you a lot of money.

847
00:36:26,588 --> 00:36:28,308
Speaker 2: And this is where they're gonna put their their feet

848
00:36:28,348 --> 00:36:31,188
Speaker 2: on the ground. They view themselves as a real organization

849
00:36:31,308 --> 00:36:34,348
Speaker 2: and Miles Garrett as a cornerstone to that organization. Why

850
00:36:34,388 --> 00:36:37,188
Speaker 2: should they ship him off because he subjectively feels they're

851
00:36:37,228 --> 00:36:39,348
Speaker 2: not going to Watcher Bowl. He didn't not take the

852
00:36:39,428 --> 00:36:41,868
Speaker 2: money when they offered him a giant contract extension. He

853
00:36:41,988 --> 00:36:44,988
Speaker 2: signed that deal, So I believe they're gonna not be

854
00:36:45,068 --> 00:36:47,268
Speaker 2: looking to move him. They had the number two overall pick.

855
00:36:47,828 --> 00:36:50,508
Speaker 2: You got to assume they're gonna be at least considering

856
00:36:50,588 --> 00:36:52,748
Speaker 2: quarterback that they're going to turn a page. He's twenty

857
00:36:52,828 --> 00:36:55,428
Speaker 2: nine years old. I'm sorry, I'm usually player first in

858
00:36:55,468 --> 00:36:58,628
Speaker 2: a lot of ways. Listening to the Browns organization, they're

859
00:36:58,628 --> 00:37:01,188
Speaker 2: not even entertaining this thought. So he could do all

860
00:37:01,228 --> 00:37:03,468
Speaker 2: the talk and he wants they're gonna expect him at camp,

861
00:37:03,548 --> 00:37:05,788
Speaker 2: and they're not looking at them, they're not even having discussions.

862
00:37:05,868 --> 00:37:07,828
Speaker 8: Well, Peter, we have somebody here at this table named

863
00:37:07,868 --> 00:37:11,388
Speaker 8: Cody Kessler who was at Cleveland when Miles Garrett was there,

864
00:37:11,388 --> 00:37:13,708
Speaker 8: a young Miles Garrett. He knows Cleveland, he knows that

865
00:37:13,828 --> 00:37:16,668
Speaker 8: front office. So Cody, I got to toss it to you, like,

866
00:37:16,748 --> 00:37:19,628
Speaker 8: how do you fill about this situation knowing Cleveland, knowing

867
00:37:19,668 --> 00:37:20,988
Speaker 8: Miles Garrett in that whole situation.

868
00:37:21,108 --> 00:37:24,348
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was in Cleveland for Miles Garrett's first year

869
00:37:24,388 --> 00:37:27,548
Speaker 4: when we first drafted him. He is an unbelievable specimen.

870
00:37:27,588 --> 00:37:29,308
Speaker 4: Watching him on the football field, He's one of the

871
00:37:29,348 --> 00:37:31,588
Speaker 4: best players I've ever been around I've ever seen. The

872
00:37:31,668 --> 00:37:33,588
Speaker 4: thing that concerns me the most, and like Peter was

873
00:37:33,628 --> 00:37:36,388
Speaker 4: talking about, is is Miles didn't come out and say

874
00:37:36,748 --> 00:37:38,548
Speaker 4: I want a new contract, I want to be paid

875
00:37:38,908 --> 00:37:40,268
Speaker 4: X amount of dollars. He came out and said, I

876
00:37:40,308 --> 00:37:41,868
Speaker 4: want to play for a team that's going to compete

877
00:37:42,068 --> 00:37:44,548
Speaker 4: and win a Super Bowl. That's what he wants. That

878
00:37:44,668 --> 00:37:47,348
Speaker 4: puts all the pressure on Andrew Berry in this Brown's

879
00:37:47,388 --> 00:37:50,588
Speaker 4: front office. They have to be perfect this offseason. This

880
00:37:50,708 --> 00:37:52,508
Speaker 4: is one of the most important offseasons that you can

881
00:37:52,588 --> 00:37:55,668
Speaker 4: remember in recent Brown's history. They cannot miss with that

882
00:37:55,788 --> 00:37:58,828
Speaker 4: number two pick. If you find a quarterback that you love,

883
00:37:59,028 --> 00:38:02,348
Speaker 4: pull the trigger, don't hesitate, blunt all the outside noise away,

884
00:38:02,428 --> 00:38:04,108
Speaker 4: put it all away, and focus on what you can

885
00:38:04,148 --> 00:38:06,148
Speaker 4: can and that's what draft picks you take, and then

886
00:38:06,188 --> 00:38:08,468
Speaker 4: also what decisions you make in free agency. Now there's

887
00:38:08,468 --> 00:38:10,108
Speaker 4: going to be some hurdles with their cap space, but

888
00:38:10,268 --> 00:38:12,668
Speaker 4: overall they have to make the right decisions this offseason.

889
00:38:12,788 --> 00:38:14,868
Speaker 4: And I'm with you. I think they can really turn

890
00:38:14,948 --> 00:38:16,908
Speaker 4: it around and go out there and find a quarterback

891
00:38:16,988 --> 00:38:18,628
Speaker 4: and I fully expect Miles Garrett to be a part

892
00:38:18,668 --> 00:38:19,068
Speaker 4: of that team.
