00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: in the Chris Westling chair. Yeah, which I've already disinfected.

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Wise move. If I'm sick within the next week, I

14
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: think I might sue him. Let me sueing Westling. You're

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: not going to get a whole lot of scratch out

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: of that preparation. This will be the first to tell you, Um,

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: Lindsay haven't been on the show in a couple of weeks,

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: so I'll just catch you up right off the top.

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: We have a lot to get to today, but first

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: and foremost, it's the last time you're on the show.

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: I brought back the Dean scream. That's back now, that's

22
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: the thing that's used. Yes, I feel like I've referenced

23
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: that in several conversations recently. Wow, so you've been bringing

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: it back even without knowing, because you clearly don't listen

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: to the show unless you know what I'm saying. In

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: the political climate in which we currently are, that's come

27
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: up several times, like that's how he got kicked out

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: of the race. The reason not a little too angry

29
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: for people's liking. About a seven days ago, I brought

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: it back, and that's why you're seeing a pop up

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: now in politics again. It was kind of forgotten totally,

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: and now it's back. Also, the only reason I knew

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: to bring it back was because I listened to the

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: podcast exactly. Yeah, you did bring up politics. Since you've

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: been gone, Donald Trump has now like a fifty fifty

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: chance to be our president. Yeah, that may or may

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: not be the reason that I brought up the fact

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: that Howard Deemed got kicked out of the race for

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: screaming funny and the things that are now okay, Wes says,

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's ill. He went to Tybee Island today

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: and if he was a video game character, he would

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: have two life bars left out of like twenty. Still

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: a decent chance he comes home in a box. I

44
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: don't want that to happen. I'm just saying, sending with

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: us back to Tybee Island at a very low health rate,

46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: he'll be fine well on there on a on a

47
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: so called charity missions. So cold, he would not be

48
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: coming home here in a box. You're saying he would

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: go to Cincinnati in this dark scenario that I hope not.

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: I hope that doesn't happen. And the final news note,

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: since you've begun, Lindsay, I don't know if you've been

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: tracking this, but this is las sid's final show with us.

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: Yes it is. It's a sad day. Do you have

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: any bad for five months? This very sad. You know,

55
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: we've been putting a lot mark on the California that

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: feels it's like a Jewish wake or something like that.

57
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: We've been put a lot of heat on California labor law.

58
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: But let's actually put the heat where it deserves to be.

59
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: And it's right in this building in NFL Media. Because

60
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: We're letting a young ascendant start out the building and

61
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: hoping that she resigns with us at a later date. Uh,

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: it sounds like I don't know a Cleveland Brown's way

63
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: of doing business, right, the old Browns. I mean, yes,

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's a you know. The sad thing is

65
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Sydney is just the latest young talent that they've left

66
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: walk just oh you know what, seven months is enough

67
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: of you? Goodbye, go have a career elsewhere. We'll fill

68
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: your shoes with someone that has no idea what's going on,

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: and just have our seventeen producer in the last four years.

70
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: Great idea NFL Media. Well, we should point out that

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: Brandon McGinnis, who was a talent, and is excited about Brandon,

72
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: but it's that it was just Brandon who was asked

73
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: to leave the the building for five months. We're lucky

74
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: he even came back. Well, well, there aren't many Sydneys

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: that we've had come in here. I mean, she's definitely

76
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: on the mount Rushmore of of producers. And that's why

77
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: we're going to devote all fifty five minutes of the

78
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: show to talking about Sydney today. It's just been a

79
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: plan this is a surprise. Sydney doesn't know. It's gonna

80
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: be like a top one hundred countdown of our best

81
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: chimans of the seven months. Yeah so Sydney, Uh, we

82
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: look forward to this final show together. I like to

83
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: call it a hiatus, not I won't come back until

84
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:49,200

87
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: done talking free agency. If you have a free agency,

88
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: Tom's that for bad for your son? I've got problems,

89
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000

98
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: in my purse on my chair, story behind it. Not really,

99
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,039

100
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: He wasn't sure if he'd get a chance to talk.

Speaker 1: Was he aware that you were NFL networks Lindsay Rhodes, No,

103
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,800

00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,480

108
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: been fired from the NFL for similar type of moves.

109
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,960

139
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I especially like the negative side of it.

140
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: Why is that? Do you think that's says something? I

141
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: don't need to just surround myself with praise and draping,

142
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, optimism. I want to hear about the people

143
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: that listen to the show and say it's incomplete. It

144
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: is not a qual high quality vehicle. All right, I

145
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: don't want that. It was dark, but okay, and we will,

146

153
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: off the contrarian And she hasn't seen songs because you

154
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: can't get tickets to it for like until her heat.

155
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm not Sydney's last day. I'm confused. It's too bad

156
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: she hasn't. We should have hats for going away. That

157
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: would have been the move. All right, let's do some news.

158
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: Will start in Houston, where they Texans have parted ways

159
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: with running back Arian Foster, of course, one of the

160
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: greatest players in franchise history, the all time leader in

161
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, yards for game, total scoring for

162
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: a non kicker. Uh. They are moving on from Foster, who,

163
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: of course uh suffered a torn achilles tendon last season

164
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: also had groin surgery. Uh. Injuries have always been a

165
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: part of the Arian Foster um story. But of course

166
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: he's also been wildly productive when healthy. So this is

167
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: a great running back on the wrong side of thirty,

168
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: coming off very serious injury. Lindsay Rhodes, where do you

169
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: think he kind of fits in when we look forward now? Uh, well, actually,

170
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: let's start with let's start about let's start with the Texans.

171
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: Was this the right move you think to move on

172
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: for Marian Foster at this point? I think it's hard

173
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: to say because you don't exactly know who's going to

174
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: take his place one on no one on the rocks.

175
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and they got Jonathan Grimes and Chris pol

176
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: they don't it's not the guys not on the roster.

177
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: They need two guys. That said, there are there are

178
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: a handful of options in free agency this year, So

179
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: if they wanted to free up some money and go

180
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: after somebody that they thought they could bring in that

181
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: way that might be able to stay healthier, then I

182
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: guess it's not a bad move. It wasn't. I wouldn't

183
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: say it was a move based on money. I think

184
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: it was a move based on the fact that he's

185
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: missed what twenty three games over the past three seeds.

186
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: And I think if you're Bill O'Brien, you you you

187
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: know your pro experience was built heavily in a Patriots

188
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: organization that doesn't overly value the running back is like

189
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: a central force to your offense. You can plug and

190
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: play easy to find there easy, and Patriots start over

191
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: from scratch every year. And between the draft and free agency,

192
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: and and like Lindsay mentioned, this is a great year

193
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: for free agency. We added Foster to the top ninety nine.

194
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Can I take a guess you put him he was

195
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: thirty one? I believe thirty one. And there are five

196
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: running backs ahead of him, right or four running backs

197
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: ahead of him, Chris Ivory, Lamar Miller, Matt four Orte,

198
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: Doug Martin. And there's a few towards the back of

199
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: free agency too. So it's not that hard to find

200
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: a running back out there. That's why they don't get

201
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: paid that much. Well, and speaking of the Patriots background

202
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: for Bill, O'Brien, williamc ginnis always talks about and Heath too.

203
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: And I'm going to totally misquote this, but something to

204
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: the effect of, uh, your best ability is availability or

205
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: you know, something to that regard, So that that's something

206
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: that they talked about a lot in that organization. Now,

207
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: they couldn't count on him and they were in a

208
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: playoff stretch last year and he was just not available.

209
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: And it's been this story for him for a while

210
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: and it was the one to punched. I can imagine

211
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: the frustration of the organization. Of course, they felt bad

212
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: that they and their relationship on very good terms team

213
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: and player, it seems. But uh, you know, they went

214
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: in they were on hard knocks this past summer and

215
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: they were all amped up and you could tell they

216
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: were ready. The hard knocks producers were amped to like

217
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: center the season around Arian Foster. And he blows out

218
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: his groin, he misses a ton of time with that,

219
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: comes back and after a few weeks hurts the achilles. So,

220
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they used him so much. I think he

221
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: was probably if you looked at who got teams that

222
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: use their running back the most, he's probably number one

223
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: or close to it. And it might just be a

224
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: situation where they've gotten the best out of him. And

225
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of a tough business. But that's what happened

226
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: in the second midst yardage by any undrafted back, and

227
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: what a story. I mean, yeah, absolutely, he came out

228
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: of nowhere to have one of the best seasons any

229
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: running back has had this decade in two thousand and ten.

230
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: Now that was that was his best season, and so

231
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: that's six years ago. Now I'm wondering, Yeah, he he

232
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: looked good. Two years ago. I'm wondering if we overrated

233
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: him a little ranking him that high based on the

234
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: name because he is a thirty year old coming off

235
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: in achilles tear, I think, which is tough, but it's

236
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: partly because you mentioned Mark in two thousand and fourteen,

237
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: he was one of the best three or four running

238
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: backs in the league. And he played thirteen games fifteen

239
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: hundred yards from scrimmage, and he ran hard. He was

240
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: better than the team around him. He looked even better

241
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: than the stats. So you think about that, and we

242
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: have a we have a post up five possible landing spots.

243
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: You think of him maybe in Denver with Gary Kubiak,

244
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: those two love each other. They've talked about how much

245
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: they respect each other. Maybe pairing with C. G Anderson,

246
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: how about Seattle they run his own scheme, pair and

247
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: with Thomas Rass something like that where he where he's

248
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: kind of the one B option, tough injury to come

249
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: back from. I would think of thirty two. That's but

250
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a chance to a because there's so

251
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: much talent there when he is healthy. Yeah. Yeah, and

252
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: he's not gonna cost You're not gonna cost franchise a

253
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: ton and other news of teams moving on from a

254
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: long time veterans. Charles Johnson, the Panther's defensive end. His

255
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: time in Charlotte is up. The year old pass rusher

256
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: UH was released on Thursday. He had a fifteen million

257
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: dollar cap hit coming in UH. So this seems like

258
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: a move that was motivated as much by money as

259
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: it was my ability for Charles Johnson. H Charles Johnson,

260
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: Greg Where does he fit in when you look at

261
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: players on the open market, open market? Anything in the tank? Yeah,

262
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: I we put him ahead as differ instance. I believe

263
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: he's serious twenty eight, so just a few STIs spot

264
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: head a foster he was good in the Super Bowl.

265
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys were there watching that game. He

266
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: had a good game. I thought Charles Johnson was maybe

267
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: the best Panthers defender on the field in the Super Bowl.

268
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: Cony Eely was there, but he played sixteen snaps six

269
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: But Charles Johnson played well I think the last three

270
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: or four starts of the year. So I think he's

271
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: got he's got something left as a starter. And if

272
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: you're a starter in this market, even at age thirty,

273
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: it was just a situation. You mentioned that the capit

274
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: was just outrageous. He was getting paid like a huge

275
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: and he was hurt last year. I think it's another

276
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: thing where they look at you know, price tag, verst durability.

277
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: You know, by cutting well Jared Allen retires and by

278
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: getting rid of Charles Johnson and Edwards twenty one point

279
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: two million, gentleman saves next season. So you know that

280
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: team and gentleman really we I think he gets a

281
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: lot of credit on this podcast, but um one of

282
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: the most overlooked jobs in terms of turning a terrible

283
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: cap hell scenario around. But part of it's having to

284
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: cut some of the Johnson's probably what he's a top

285
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: ten player in Panthers. Yeah, we were having a lot

286
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: house having this discussion with David Eally in our newsroom,

287
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: big Panthers fan, and we were going through the Best's

288
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: the guy that brought a champagne bottle to work. That's well.

289
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: I did suggest he could now pop that champagne to

290
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: celebrate Charles Johnson's great career. He thought that would be

291
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: weird a little bit, but I thought top you know,

292
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: we went through the list. At first, I thought maybe

293
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: top five team, top five player in Panthers history. Then

294
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: once we went through the names, you gotta throw Cam

295
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: and cheek Lee up there already it was probably somewhere

296
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: six to ten. But he's in. How about gentleman's moves

297
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: in the last few years though, that you referenced there.

298
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: So in the last three years he has gotten rid

299
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: of Steve Smith and D'angela Williams and now Charles Johnson.

300
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: Those are three really big Panthers names. Yeah, and maybe

301
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: they went the right time of their careers to do that.

302
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: I think Smith, Steve Smith, there was something else going

303
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: on there, a little up. You know, they don't they

304
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: don't have much a defensive end, so I don't think

305
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: it's outrageous to think he'd be back at a lesser salary.

306
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: Coney eally is gonna start now. But there than that,

307
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: they don't really have any players at that position. We

308
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: did a team needs thing and look, they're they're thin,

309
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: so maybe maybe they'd resign him. Yes, yeah, they offered

310
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: him a pay cut, so maybe he's back, and would

311
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: that would really then he was moving up to a

312
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: starting job anyways, and even come on, all right, let's

313
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: talk wide receiver heat. Old wide receiver heat. Okay, I

314
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: mean they're not even wide receivers, just like middle aged

315
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: guy heat. It was heat. That could be an alternate

316
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: name to this podcast. Well for West and mark a. Uh.

317
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison is going into the Hall of Fame. Uh

318
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: finally he got voted in. I thought it should have

319
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: been sooner, but it happened, Uh finally this year and

320
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: Terrell Owens on the boat for the first time this

321
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: year did not get in. Uh. And he's not happy

322
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: about it. He said he felt disrespected. Uh. Marvin Harrison

323
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: was on the Talk of Fame network. Is that a

324
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: real thing? That is a thing? Okay? Uh. He had

325
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: this to say about TiO. I don't want to be

326
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: disrespectful in the talk. No, that not in no way

327
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: was that disrespectful. Here's his quote, Harrison, I wasn't concerned

328
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: at all. I'm not concerned about you know, TiO, not

329
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: one bit. I was current concerned about myself. I wasn't

330
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: worried about splitting the vote with anyone. That was it.

331
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: Uh blah blah blah blah. So he can get his

332
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: ass in whenever he gets in. If he gets in,

333
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: if he doesn't get in, too bad, the hell with him.

334
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: Bang drop. Mike Mark, you you voted for this, not

335
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: to even be in the podcast. No, I didn't vote. No, No,

336
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: what I what I said was was that all right? Fine?

337
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean, good for you. These are your comments. You're

338
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: of settatrell Owens. I don't know. I just feels like

339
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: we have to quickly pen an article every time, like

340
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: some athletes says something negative about another athlete. This to

341
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: me feels good for you. Marvin Harrison. Have a nice day.

342
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: Are you still the beach? But though you don't, you

343
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: don't normally see h o F h o F crime.

344
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: Thank you. Let's letter perspective than I did. Let's try

345
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: to not connect Marvin Harrison in the word crime. Don't

346
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: you know. I don't feel comfortable with it. She's right, though,

347
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: he's too important to add, and Marvin Harrison is a

348
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: little bit quieter I've anything. Yeah, I mean, from that angle,

349
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: it's surprising he's not the guy I thought it would

350
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: have gone the other way around. Maybe, and I agree

351
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: and I I don't agree with you that t O

352
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: needs to pipe down. But uh, I, if I had

353
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: to choose who should go in first, it's Marvin Harrison.

354
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: I think he's got a very similar consistent career to

355
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: t O without a lot of the baggage, a third

356
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: all time in receptions, fifth and touchdowns. I mean, it's

357
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: not that, but the t O also absolutely deserves to

358
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. But that's that's the issue,

359
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: isn't it. I mean, why is hall Why you have

360
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: receivers that aren't even half of t OS standard in

361
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: the All of Fames. So there's your problem in other

362
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: future Hall of Fame or news. Dan can't wait to

363
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: get out of that. That That what are we spending? Second

364
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: that it was fine, It was I was surprised you

365
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: had so much to say after not want to get

366
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: on the podcast. That's all I think that was really

367
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: Mike is full of beautiful Mark really unhappy with some

368
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: of the terms of his employment that in terms of

369
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: the post that he writes than it really was. Do

370
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: you guys want to hash that out? Greg? Mark? Sure,

371
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: we don't even know what I don't more understand what

372
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: you just said. Alright, I like that. Let's let's move

373
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: forward as as a as a group. Peyton Manning is

374
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: making the rounds. Mark, You're going to Vegas or something?

375
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: Is that you're going to talk? Just found out going

376
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: to like Vegas? Um what like a four am flight

377
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: in the morning to get to some press conference that

378
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: it was like nine am. I don't know, Well, it's

379
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: Cessler time. It's always added, I don't I'm not sure

380
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: what the time is. But Peyton Manning is speaking in

381
00:19:54,680 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: Vegas tomorrow apparently, so yeah, like a speaking engagement. It

382
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: was already at a conference which we probably should know

383
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: the name of Mark will be there, and a shadowy

384
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: league figure approached him and said, hey, buddy, bring a

385
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: suit jacket just in case he retires. He's not going

386
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: to retire in Vegas, wouldn't it now? But that's why

387
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: Mark is going just in Casey. He said, I think

388
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: they're sending me because they know nothing of actual critical

389
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: news will happen, So send Cessler to Vegas. Got to

390
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: cover our base. Actually, I like the idea of Peyton

391
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: retiring and then going straight to hook up with Spice

392
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: Rack and just party for like literally a week straight

393
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: with West's Deserts. Anyway, we'll see what happens. Yeah, and

394
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to retire tomorrow now after

395
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: what he said last night in Florida. Yes, that's what

396
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm getting to. He was speaking at the Florida Forum

397
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Speakers Series. Okay, uh, he said it was absolutely excruciating.

398
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: That's the exact quote. To watch the Broncos games on

399
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: TV when he was sidelined with the torn Planter Fascia

400
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: fasciaia in late November and early December. I don't know

401
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: per NFL media is Jeff Darlington. Manning explained that he

402
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: would watch games with the sound muted so he didn't

403
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: hear the commentary. Who was also asked about his post

404
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: football career, which could be getting begin as soon as

405
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 1: next week or perhaps in another year. Who knows. His

406
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: response hard to say. One reason I've enjoyed my current

407
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: job so much. Is I've been all in, Greg, What

408
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: are you taking that all this? The more I hear

409
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: him talk, the more I think he is biding his

410
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: time trying to figure out a way that he can

411
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: keep playing that during this legal tampering period which is

412
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: coming up, and there's been illegal tampering probably going on.

413
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: He's trying to see if he can find a situation

414
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: that he that would keep him playing. Lindsay shakes her

415
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: head and dislief like face palm right here. That's mind

416
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: boggling to me that he doesn't see that this situation

417
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: is the best possible situation that could have presented itself

418
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: for him. He didn't even play well in the super Bowl,

419
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: but no one's talking about that because they want it

420
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: is the best possible script that could have been written

421
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: for you, Peyton Manning, to ride off into the sunset

422
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: at the end of a great career in which you

423
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: are no longer the Peyton Manning that we once knew.

424
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: But the thing that he said, Jeff Darlington was at

425
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: that Florida Speakers forum last night and he said thank

426
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: you on back referencing, but he used this full name. Second, oh,

427
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I you know, just in case anyone's tuning

428
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: into the podcast late. I didn't want to just drop Jeff.

429
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: So Jeff was in Florida listening to him, and it

430
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: seemed like his takeaway was that he was trying to

431
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: come up with uh, he was trying to talk himself

432
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: into retirement as opposed to the other way around. Like

433
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: he wanted looking for options, he wanted a team to

434
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: present itself, and that he had a statement about how

435
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: important system is to a quarterback, and like, I can't

436
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: overstate the importance of that. There were years there where

437
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: I could throw the ball with my eyes closed and

438
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: I knew exactly where everybody was going to be. And

439
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: it seemed like he was indicating that that might have

440
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: been his problem. So in his head, I think that's

441
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: where he's going with this, is like I'm not bad

442
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: right now because I'm just bad and I'm over the hill.

443
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: It's because the system wasn't right for me, and I

444
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: want to go prove that everyone else wants you to

445
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: leave that. Peyton Manning has never been wired that way.

446
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: We said a couple of weeks ago that he I

447
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: could see him on the rams. That's the thing if

448
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: he wants to, and it would be actually um ironic um,

449
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: because I've made the reference a couple of times that

450
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: if you know you don't want to be Joe Namath

451
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: sitting on the bench at the l A Coliseum with

452
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: the Rams at the end of your career, hanging on,

453
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: hanging on a year too long, we might actually see

454
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: that if if that's somehow happens he ends up with

455
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: the Rams, because I think everyone sees the writing on

456
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: the wall. Maybe he's the last guy to see it

457
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: because he's a proud wouldn't be the first athlete for that.

458
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: And you can't like kill him if he wants to

459
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: come back, because he thinks he's got something left. But

460
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: you just get a feeling how it's gonna end, and

461
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: you feel bad if he's benched by week eight and

462
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: then he retires in a press conference the following January.

463
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: You know, after playing with a non playoff team. It's like, damn,

464
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: you had a chance to go out how you in

465
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: a perfect way and you passed on it. Don't make

466
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: me feel sorry for you, but a perfect way for

467
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: a perfect way for us? What does he care about us?

468
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: He is younger? Uh? Then Mark for instance, like I'm

469
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,719
Speaker 1: just saying, imagine this has become a this has become

470
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: a disturbing thread that Greg brings up. Like point is,

471
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: he is not an old person. He is one of

472
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: the greatest people ever at his trade, and that has

473
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: been his entire life since he's ten years old. And

474
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: now he's being told you have to be done for

475
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: the rest of your life just because it's some good storyline. Oh,

476
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: by the way, you were good enough to just start

477
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl even though you weren't good at it.

478
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: You know you're good enough to stay in the league.

479
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: No one's killing Matt Hasselbeck for staying in and ma

480
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: is gonna stay in the NFL to be somebody's clipboard.

481
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: Greg said it a hundred times quarterback like these quarterback

482
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: stories never really end well outside of elway. They almost

483
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: always end rough. And and he got to this point

484
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: by being so confident by seeing like you said, Lindsay,

485
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: or thinking, at least, well the system, if I had

486
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: the right system around me, maybe I could be a

487
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: good starter. Again, who knows, maybe even that's true, it

488
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: seems pretty unlikely. So you go to Jeff Fisher's offense.

489
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: You can't play anymore. Oh and by the way, I

490
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: do want to point out enough of the the well,

491
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: if he if he doesn't play football anymore, Peyton's got

492
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: a great future as a comedian with this. Hey, I've

493
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: got a big announcement fifty percent off Papa John's. You

494
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: to see what I did there. It's like he has

495
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: a he has a whole room full of you love

496
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: to attack straw Man arguments. I don't think a lot

497
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: of people I have seen. I was literally a headline.

498
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: I've seen this in tweets. It was the headline on ESPN.

499
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: He's like, he's got a future as a comedian. I mean,

500
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: now that Gregg is coming off the season where he,

501
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, co hosted a podcast with a professional I've

502
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: got Gregg has got a way in on this kind

503
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: of stuff. I stand by I stay that's deep past

504
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: to me. I stand by the I can totally imagine

505
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: Peyton manning in a broadcast booth for twenty years, in

506
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: like a Troy Aigman role. But I don't see him,

507
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: as you know, having his own sitcom on NBC or something.

508
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. He'd be great at the broadcast. Meanwhile,

509
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: on the throne of the apocalypse that came from outer space. Um,

510
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: that doesn't explain I like the bars in tone. That

511
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: doesn't explain Trump winning Massachusetts. By yeah, the Patriots have

512
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: shed some pass catchers from their roster. The team announced

513
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: Thursday that they have released wide receiver Brandon LaFell and

514
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: tight end Scott Chandler. Chandler, according to the NFL Transaction Log,

515
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: failed as physical the team. Uh LaFell, you know, had

516
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: a really nice year in two thousand fourteen, very promising

517
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: at seventy four catches almost a thousand yards. But he

518
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: came back, missed some time to start the year, came back,

519
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: was dropping passes all over the place. Remember his first

520
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: game we went back against the Jets, he like seven

521
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: drops or something unheard of. Uh never really, I guess

522
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: got the trust of Tom Brady after that, and now

523
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: he's out the door. Lose a young weapon like that,

524
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: right please? I mean la Fell is a perfect example

525
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: of the type of guys that Tom Brady has made

526
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: into thousand yard type receivers. I mean Peyton Manning. I

527
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: don't know if he lifted up as many lower level

528
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: receivers like that. And by by the way, the deep

529
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: throat of Brandon LaFell was the worst play in the

530
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: league last year, so let's get to get rid of it.

531
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: Only five receivers had more drops in la Fell. Dan

532
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: was saying that you were going to miss him because

533
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: you liked the way that he would drop the ball

534
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: in games against the Jets. Yeah, I I did like

535
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: the way he played against the Jets. And downstairs, Greg

536
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: was talking up Danny Amendola. I mean he's turned into

537
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: a good Well, it's good news for him. Never had

538
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: seven hundred yards in his career, has been around, you

539
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: know since two thousand nine. He somehow, you said, making

540
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: twice as much as julian Edelman Mark, which is it's

541
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: sad for Julianette next season. Well, I mean, Brady, also,

542
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: this is a classic Patriots. They bring a guy in

543
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: for one season. He helped him to a Super Bowl. Brady.

544
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: Remember they're calling him the toughest receiver you'd ever been around.

545
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: Everyone was praising LaFell. Lafel admitted before that Super Bowl

546
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: that he played that whole season very banged up, very injured.

547
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: So he is a tough guy. He'll find another job.

548
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: But New England knows when the Cup had a ring,

549
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: and that's what's happening in the news. If you have

550
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: any free agency problems, not bad for your son. I've

551
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: got problems, alright. So we talked top overview. I feel

552
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: like we gotta get Lindsay's favorite day Z songs at least,

553
00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: and you're at the concert. Off my head, No, okay,

554
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: you put the number in your purse, did you? So?

555
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: Did you call him? Like? How long did you wait

556
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: to call him? I didn't call him first of all,

557
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: that's a little bit too like I want to court.

558
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: So I texted him something about like, hey, I think

559
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: I found something of yours in my purse, and then

560
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: I just signed it like rot in. I didn't even

561
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: want to. I didn't even know yet. You know, I don't.

562
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to. You sure it was name yet?

563
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: Were you sure it was him? You had you suspected

564
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: it was? Yes? No, he told me as we were

565
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: walking out that something in my purse. The whole thing

566
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: was like borderline creepy. If he wasn't, hey, I put

567
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: something into your paris. I mean, weren't you a little

568
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: worried what was in there? So he was? He was

569
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: so lacking in game that I felt like that was

570
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: a safe sign, you know what I mean, most guys

571
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: that I was like, look, I think he's hot and

572
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: he has no game, and those two together kind of

573
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: work for me. Well, he's not otherwise exactly. So that Dan,

574
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: that would go very well for you. I got you

575
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: a nice surprise in your poice. If you're missing that

576
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 1: may or may not have been me too. Alright. So anyway,

577
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's dig in a little bit more on

578
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: free agency, and we have a new post up on

579
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. Uh slash around the NFL or slash news,

580
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of ways to get their best

581
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: team fits for free agents. So let's spend a couple

582
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: of minutes here uh talking about this topic. And we'll

583
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: start with Mark Sessler, who has an idea about a

584
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: player that's high up on the top ninety nine that

585
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't be going anywhere. Yeah, I mean, I think with

586
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: free agency and so where will they go? Some other

587
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: teams start over news scheme and duplicate what you did

588
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: where you were. How about Doug Martin? How about you

589
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: just stay home number one. I don't know why they

590
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: didn't get slapped the franchise. I didn't we could well,

591
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: because sometimes he is a free agent and one destination

592
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: would be going back to the team you came from.

593
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: And it just makes a lot of sense a the

594
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: new head coach, Dirk Cutters, the guy that stood up

595
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: for you last offseason. It's probably the reason you even

596
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: had that opportunity in Tampa Bay coming off a yard year.

597
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: Him and Charles Simms, you know, and Wesley was trumping

598
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: this all towards the end of the season two. One

599
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: of the best, if not the best backfield duo in

600
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: the league last year. And you cannot ask Simms to

601
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: come and play the Martin role if you lose them,

602
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: So you suddenly have a need for that kind of

603
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: a running back what Martin fulfilled for them, and it

604
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: takes something away from Jamis Winston. So if I'm the

605
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: Bucks and you've got some money, you go get the

606
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: guy that you know already fits in your offense and

607
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: you don't look back. They have plenty of money, there

608
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: are plenty of caprim so they don't mess around. I

609
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: guess the only way they would not give him that

610
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: money is if they were too spooked by those two

611
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: years before. Well they're talking about him. I'm heading what

612
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: thirty five overs, five years or something. That's a lot

613
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: of money for getting running back? Is everything? Isn't everything?

614
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: Like a two year deal? Is that the way it

615
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: breaks down? Guarantee a lot of these Yeah, I could

616
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: see Dallas Maybe. I feel like Dallas is going to

617
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: be definitely in the market for running back. How about

618
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: the idea of what happened with DeMarco Murray And they're

619
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: totally different players, but our team is gonna be scared

620
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: to give out a contract to a big guy coming

621
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: off a monster year after what happened with Murray last

622
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: Yearity or these guys put that all all that stuff,

623
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: they keep him separate at the running back position. I

624
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: think yes, specifically, probably big money scares certain teams. Greg,

625
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: you want to throw something out there, Well, I liked

626
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: one that Patra put into the column. Mario Williams going

627
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: to the Raiders. I think I think that's the type

628
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: of team's got a lot of cap ram can take

629
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of a chance on a short term option.

630
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't really love, uh Mario Williams moving forward, but

631
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: it's one of those, you know, big risk, big reward

632
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: type signing, and it's just one of those I could

633
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: see happening because Aldon Smith no longer on the roster.

634
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: Like I said, they have tons of capra more than

635
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: they can really do, and and they've kind of shown

636
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: that they like to take these two three year chances

637
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,239
Speaker 1: on on guys or that are around thirty years old.

638
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: That's a team that needs or at least wants to

639
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: win right now. I think that they could when you

640
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: look all of the cap room that they have. I

641
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: think the Raiders could be a team within the next

642
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: couple of years that we're talking about is a legitimate team.

643
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: There's so much young talent and on that team that

644
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: if you can fill those holes and they have so

645
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: much money to do it. Reggie Mackenzie, revolution is it?

646
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Slow the entire podcast. I want to

647
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: come in. That's what I am to do. I think

648
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: Mary Williams makes sense in the Raiders uniform. Raids are

649
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: one of those teams where you always and I think

650
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: it's because what Greg was saying, they seem to love

651
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: to sign the guy that's maybe just on the other

652
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: side of his prime but still is a big name brand.

653
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: Maybe that's Mario Williams in this But but I you

654
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: were right, Greg on Wednesday. I don't know if I

655
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: trust him on a third contract now it's seventy four

656
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: million in the bank, I don't know. I'm gonna throw

657
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: out another fit or on pass rushers Jason Pierre Paul

658
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: going down to Tampa. I did this, I did this

659
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: article about you know, team needs, and I realized the

660
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: Tampa defensive end is like the NFC equivalent of the

661
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: Browns quarterback situation. There they have not had anything resembling

662
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: a pass rusher for four or five years. So the

663
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: Browns quarter you know what I mean, just the last

664
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: five seven years, like they dangerous. I'm just saying they

665
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: never they never even have one guy. I mean they

666
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: if they couldn't just find a past. I mean, it's

667
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: not a good defense in general. Love Smith and and

668
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: Jason Light have not done a good job in terms

669
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: of the talent. Just didn't. It's not working for them.

670
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: So I think that's exactly the type of team, UH

671
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: that should take a chance on old JPP. Plus you

672
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: get another that could do that. You're not very type player.

673
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: I guess that's what I'm saying. I'm bullish on JP.

674
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that big of a role. I

675
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 1: think at worst case, they're gonna get the best defensive

676
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: end on their team. In best case, they get, you know,

677
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: one of the best defensive ends in the league. I

678
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: think he's still got a chance to be very good.

679
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: If I'm riding that Lamar Miller bandwagon. Uh, you are

680
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: riding the JPP bandwagon all the way Greg is steering it. Uh.

681
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: Now that you're hopped off the Ryan Tannehill, you're free

682
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: to hop on someone else's. I mean, Charles Johnson could

683
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: be another out, but he's a little older. You know.

684
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: Atlanta tried to get Charles Johnson back in the day.

685
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: That's how he got that huge contract from Carolina. I'll

686
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: throw one out there, how about um Marvin Jones number

687
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: one wide receiver on your top ninety nine right now? Yeah,

688
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: not in the top forty even overall thirty rather overall,

689
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: but yeah, top receiver. The New York Giants have revealed

690
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: themselves to be a roster um, you know, devoid of

691
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: a much talent. They don't they need some They need

692
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: some people on that team if they want to be

693
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: competitive in the final prime years for Eli and UH.

694
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: I would love to see Victor Cruz come back. He's

695
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: a Jersey guy on draft and easy to easy to

696
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: root for him, but you can't count on it if

697
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: you're the Giants. And I'm sorry, you know Odell Beckham

698
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: is probably the best wide receiver in football, but you

699
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: can't build an entire offense around one player. Get somebody

700
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: on the other side. Marvin Jones, nice player and a

701
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: sending player, already proved it could be a solid second

702
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: Banana and Cincinnati. I think he can get better. You

703
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: get him across from O D B up against the

704
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: second best cornerback in the A f C, NFC East

705
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: every week. Bang. I think he has a big season.

706
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: He got a nice one to punch. And if Victor

707
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: Cruz does somehow come back and it is even close

708
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: to Victor Cruz, you slide him into the slot and

709
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: away we go. Yeah. Well, point being, they have to

710
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: get off any concept of Victor Cruz being this guy

711
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: that they're gonna We wrote probably a hundred and six

712
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: articles on Victor Cruz last We should have. I thought

713
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: last year he was a big star coming off that injury,

714
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: But now I'm I'm not quite with West or West

715
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: basically wants him to be stricken from the internet, uh,

716
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: and from the NFL. But I don't think the Giants

717
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: or anybody should be counting on him at this point.

718
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: Anybody else got one, I'll throw out another one. I'll stick.

719
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: I'll stick at the meadow Lands and a lot of

720
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Matt Forte chatter connected to New England. I like him

721
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: to the Jets. The Jets have Chris Ivory out the

722
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: door below Powell heading out the door. And I think

723
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: one thing that you saw and when the Jets started

724
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: to use Powell in an effective manner, is that Ryan

725
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick needed a third receiver. Uh. It really helped the

726
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: offense when you had Marshall and Decker who were studs

727
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: all year, but then having a third guy is kind

728
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: of a safety valve. Matt Forte would be a much

729
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: better version of Blow Powell in the offense. Uh. Of course,

730
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: you you can't overwork him. He's an older running back,

731
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: but I think he could be a great guy. You

732
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: have like a hundred catches, uh two seasons ago. He

733
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: could have a similar impact. Remember La, Danny and Thomas

734
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: in the first year with Rex, Ryan Forte could be

735
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: that guy that I mean they're at candidate to draft

736
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 1: running back very high if they don't go get someone

737
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: in free agency the Jets. And he's making a face

738
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: like something smells in it. No, I like it for

739
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: the Jets. I don't know that I like it for

740
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: Matt Forte, who has made it clear at this point

741
00:37:55,200 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: that he wants go ahead, Lindsey, he wants to go

742
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. WHOA, That's what I was saying it.

743
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: I just want to play for a winner. And you're

744
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: saying the Jets are a bunch of losers God saying that,

745
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: but I'm saying I'm not. I'm also suggesting that they

746
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: might not be knocking on the door. They might not

747
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: be one piece away or two pieces away. And I

748
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: think if you're Matt Forte, who's been in Chicago on

749
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: some underperforming teams for a number of years during his

750
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: prime and just wants a taste of the playoff action,

751
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: that he's probably better off finding a different Good luck

752
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: getting that, you're not. That's just like your opinion, man,

753
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: how it goes in here? Can I throw one out

754
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 1: for Chris Wesley? He's right by the way one piece away,

755
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, years so so yeah, probably not going to

756
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: go next ye either. It's a nice going away present

757
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: to Sydney wouldn't be the same without you know, a

758
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: little word. What what's the one you want throughout? Well?

759
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: You know Chris Westling, who is at its charity event.

760
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to He's got it pinned on his

761
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: Twitter feed and go look at it. It's a very

762
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: nice event. Because I said, no, I do, because I

763
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: said at the top of the show that I don't

764
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: believe that he's going to Tybee Island for something for

765
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: a charity. Man, I don't just going there to recording.

766
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: Then we were okay, well, I think he's going to

767
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: drink about six hundred beers too. But he had a

768
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: nice idea. How about Duyne Allen of the cults? How

769
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: about you know you're the Pittsburgh Steelers. Heath Miller's out

770
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: the door. You got to find a tight end. You

771
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: don't want to take a risk on someone in Alan heat.

772
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 1: I know Dan can't stand the Duannell things. I don't well,

773
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: I trust to sign this judgment, but I don't know

774
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: what we're gonna go crazy about Duyne Allen about. I

775
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: don't know if it's going crazy over him just as

776
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: maybe a good fit. Why they need a tight end,

777
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: and I think that you haven't seen a guy that's

778
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: reached his potential. Maybe in Indianapolis, but he'd have a

779
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: chance to be the number one dude in Pittsburgh, the one,

780
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: the one team. And I think on Monday, we're gonna

781
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about teams that that need to

782
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: have a big month. But I'm kind of like, what

783
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: are the Jaguars gonna do to spend their insane amount

784
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: of caper ninety million dollars in Cabra. Obviously, they they

785
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,479
Speaker 1: can't spend it all. Last year they had about five

786
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: big time guys that they went after hard and they

787
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: didn't get them all. Devin mccordy was one of them,

788
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: to Marco Murray, Randall Cobb was one of them. But

789
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: they did wind up spending a lot of money. I'm thinking,

790
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,479
Speaker 1: who can they just spend an insane amount of money

791
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: and it's Malik Jackson. I mean to me, they couldn't

792
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: there the destination to just pay Malick Jackson forty you

793
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: know whatever it is, thirty five million dollars guaranteed over

794
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: the next two years and just say here you go,

795
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: Malik Jackson, upgrade our team. But they could get Alex

796
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: Mack too, they wanted him two years ago. Before we

797
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: move on, In my research with for today's podcast, I

798
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: was checking out some of our free agency content and Greg,

799
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: you've been doing some NFL now hits with UH host

800
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: Will Selva Selvo Selvo we call him sell boat UM

801
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: and I found some of these intros to be quite

802
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: frankly alarming. Let's hear a couple of one. Malik Jackson

803
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: one of several available players out there for the taking.

804
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: This man to my left, the Grand puba around the NFL, Greg,

805
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: free agency, what else do we have? My dog from

806
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: around the NFL, he would be the one. And either way,

807
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: did you write the stuff? What do you think? I

808
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: immediately said, small dog, give me a break. Big, Well,

809
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: you kind of are. You are the boss. You're in

810
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: charge of us. You're the one you know, you're our supervisor,

811
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: so you're the boss. I just I was wondering if

812
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: you had directed Will to set you up that way.

813
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: You and Will kind of like the same way Adam

814
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: Gaze and Peyton Manning used to just sit up late

815
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: at night texting ideas about the industry together, just going

816
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: back and forth. That's disturbing. Oh my god, it's five

817
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: am ready, I gotta be awaking like an hour. Okay,

818
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: So there you go. That was good for THEE agency

819
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: talk guys. Uh, and now let's hit up a little segment,

820
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: uh that we like to call iTunes listener feedback? Are

821
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: you sure workshopping? It works? Any other ideas? Uh? For

822
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: what the title? Yeah, I'm I'm out, I'm fresh out.

823
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: Do you have any the Grand Puba presents iTunes or listener? Blowtorch?

824
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: M what happened to your sponsor? Oh, it's a tough subject,

825
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: you know. They Scotch Trade did a great job supporting

826
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: us through the season and a weekend. This is very

827
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: like peyton Man and uh, you know Scott, he might

828
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: be coming back for next season, but it's not an

829
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: off season thing. We're not like I guess I thought

830
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: you guys are a really good job selling their financial assistance.

831
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you? Thanks. Do you like money? Don't

832
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 1: do it? They're not paying you. Somebody I gotta tweet

833
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: the other day that do you need financial assistance? Yeah?

834
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: For sure. A guy tweeted at me that his entire

835
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: company now uses slack because of the reference references we've

836
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: made to that instant messenging client on this podcast. We

837
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: don't get no gap from Slack. What's slacking? Signed for

838
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: Slack today? Alright, Dean screams back. All right, let's go

839
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: through some uh listener reviews, some good, some bad. Uh.

840
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: This will start with Oh, this is a good one

841
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: to start with. These guys are egomaniacs. This is from

842
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: Wayne Crabett wet Dream interesting and it is excellent. If

843
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: you want top notch NFL analysis, look elsewhere. If you

844
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: want a highly entertaining wrap up of league news, game reviews,

845
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 1: and hot takes, this is the podcast for you. Post

846
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: Dan Hansis uses his position on the pod to promote

847
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: his megalomania and overtly boast about the fact that he's

848
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: a full head of hair bald. Chris Wesling does not

849
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: have this luxury, and instead ends his time to tempting

850
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: to convince listeners that the podcast and human existence in

851
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: general is about him. Greg Rose Withtal clings to his

852
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: role of boss of this group of misfits to compensate

853
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: for the commercial failure of his former band Delaware. You

854
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: may also know him from his other ill Fate adventure,

855
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: a spinoff Mutiny pod with a B level comedian. That's

856
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: why Dan chose this one. Uh no, that last, but

857
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: certainly not least, as soothsayer Mark Sessler, the NFL Oracle

858
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: is a one stop shop when it comes to predicting

859
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: devastating injuries and retirements. While the deally made with the

860
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: devil in order to procure these powers will ultimately lead

861
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 1: to his downfall, they will certainly benefit us all in

862
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: the meantime. I mean you came out clean there, I

863
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 1: skated uh relatively unscathed. That was only half of the post.

864
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, you've done a great job carving

865
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 1: out that Niche is the guy who predicts injuries. Way

866
00:44:53,960 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: to go? Uh. This one is from a re some

867
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: review titled I Got ninety nine problems around the NFL.

868
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: Ain't one my soul? Flight two is Dan the voice

869
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: of Bob from Bob's Burgers. If not do some voiceovers

870
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: and get that fits magic cash, hashtag blessed, hashtag get

871
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: a new mentor Uh, I get that all the time,

872
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: the Bob's Burger thing. Uh, let me, do you know

873
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: the show? This is what the guy sounds like. You

874
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: don't need some male model to teach you how to fight.

875
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: That's what dads are for Come on, I'll show you

876
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: some stuff Fox with your old man. Uh, you don't

877
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: sound anything like that person. It's a voice actor named

878
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: h John Benjamin who is also the voice of Archer.

879
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: Hey call me if you ever want to get that drink.

880
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: Either of you got that unless you I'm obviously way

881
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: into it. Well this is feedy into the megalomania. Yeah,

882
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see, but roll on with yourself. Yeah,

883
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: it's all about you, all right? That one Overwell, I

884
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: love this podcast. Five stars from Game over be blank. Uh,

885
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: Chris needs to stop going out so much and save

886
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: his money or except that he's poor. Wow, that's I

887
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: mean feedback. It's like some legit Scott I mean not

888
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 1: Scott level analysis of money analysis, but it would be helpful.

889
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: Mark needs to get his health and check the guy

890
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: is sick all the time, am I. I don't know

891
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: you've been sick for like last week? Though? When was

892
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: this written? Uh? February more acorns please feels off the rocker,

893
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: but continue next up? This is good by Daffy n.

894
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm into it. That's a good start. These bros put

895
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: out two to three podcasts every week, usually three guys,

896
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: and even when there's really no NFL news to discuss,

897
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: it's entertaining because of the unique talents that each bring

898
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 1: to the table. This this feels like a pr piece,

899
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 1: but Mark has the soul of a poet at times,

900
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: at times outwardly miserable yet spinning magnificent scenarios and qualis

901
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: to fantasia. Greg is constantly upbeat and unfailingly cheerful, but

902
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: with a mysterious and dark background. Is the lead singer

903
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: of a SKA band. Chris is stubborn and fiery and

904
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 1: can always be counted on for a passionate rant. The

905
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: supporting characters are strong too. That's thanks, Well, that's I know.

906
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: We need a review that includes um, that's all right,

907
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: I'll just listen to them talk about you. Here's a

908
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: good one. It does start like the negative ones I

909
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 1: did too. Let's get someone who brings them the poetry

910
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 1: references for your kind of dead on anyone follows anyone

911
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: who follows your Instagram feed A talented, very talented young man.

912
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: Thank you you are already Mark? All right? That feels

913
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: like coming from coming from like Lindsay and Greg. All

914
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 1: right from Dan, I'm like, there's something else going on there?

915
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: Why why do you say that? I don't know just

916
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: because it's coming from it's nice. I'm already I don't like,

917
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: I know, like having hung out with Dan two hours,

918
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: him calling anyone already is not that's Dan does not

919
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: like it. When he's a populist, I mean his I

920
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: don't think that I'm making up anything. What's you're a populist?

921
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: I mean you like things when they're big. When when

922
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: a band takes like a left turn to a little

923
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: more of an art lad album? Are you you're referring

924
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: to the text I sent you about Arcade Fire? But

925
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: this is embarrassing two thousand twelve effort? Reflector what album?

926
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: That's not true? Whoa I mean? I like? But generally

927
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: I think this is a populist. Dan listens to Taylor

928
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: Swift on the way home from work. I do, actually

929
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: because my son loves her. But all right, here we go.

930
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: You know you're a big You're a big Live fan.

931
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: I mean, anyone that admits that publicly is probably a

932
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: popular I don't. I wouldn't say I'm a big Live

933
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: I was a fan of Live when I was fifteen.

934
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: But that's I mean, if you want to go with

935
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: that narrative. I'm with Dan on that a little bit.

936
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: Here we go in very strange. Yeah, uh, here we go.

937
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 1: Let's do one more interesting but shallow football analysis. Nice

938
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: to see a podcast that interacts with listeners with long

939
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: running easter egg jokes. However, for someone looking for hot

940
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 1: takes and interesting analysis, it must be noted that the

941
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 1: depth of football knowledge besides Chris Wesley is very shallow.

942
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: This is reflected by the host's lack of knowledge and

943
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: play calling routes and defensive slash offensive schemes. You guys

944
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: should definitely talk more about that. Additionally, there are times

945
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: where Dan's antics takeaway from the show's potential, interrupting good

946
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: flow between segments with ridiculous statements and attempts. Well, that's

947
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 1: a bad job writing and attempts and poorly time jokes.

948
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that, Dan, you do it. You're

949
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 1: a professional. We've taken a left turn. All right, Okay,

950
00:49:55,880 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: that's it. That's please continue listening that. And yes you

951
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: can download on iTunes or yes, very good. I like that,

952
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: lindsay iTunes. Leave us comments good or bad. We might

953
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 1: read them on the mostly good, and I should say

954
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: the majority of these are very good comments, but we

955
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: have to we have to acknowledge all of these. The

956
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: one below, it's amazing. Take the biggest blowhards you've ever

957
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: met in your life, give them a football podcast. Now

958
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: have them do a pile of blow with a hepatitis

959
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,439
Speaker 1: infected rolled up five dollar bill, then for an hour.

960
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: That's the show. I like that. I like that a lot.

961
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: And the one right below the headline great show, Fire

962
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: Westling the Weasel five stars. So anyway, there's a lot.

963
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: You know, you can't Lindsay. You know you're in the

964
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: public eye. You cannot You can't make everyone happy. You

965
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't even try. We gotta get make Lindsay happy. She's

966
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: got a meeting to go right now, this moment before

Speaker 1: before we had out of here. Yes, Sydney, this is

968

969
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: at least for now. Hopefully it can come back. I

970
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: feel like we should sing a boys to Men's song

971
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: or something. I think, well, that's the end of the road, right,

972
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: It's not the end of the road, though, we we

973
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: should really look at it, um middle off the road.

Speaker 1: I want to be the guy who just kind of
