I played in card games in France, elsewhere, 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.400 but Monaco. I didn't know where to go. So one 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.800 that text did not lead me to a card game. 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.480 It did lead me to end up challenging helm Youth 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:59.520 to this five thousand dollars a person survivor contest, which 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.640 I then and you know, I'll be honest if you 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:07.040 saw that long video A few cocktails in posted me 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.399 and the Hellme Youth challenge, and by the way, that's 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:16.040 opened everybody.

But for the moment, we saw 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.240 it all and you needed to protect that. You need 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.440 to protect the envelope.

Trey Hendrickson 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.680 didn't get an extension, didn't get extra years guaranteed, he 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.480 did get. You know, Trey Hendrickson was really mad.

I 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.240 don't I think she's probably an actor, but uh. 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.320 Yeah, you know what we're not that. I'm first of all, 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.000 couldn't be more proud that you're as ignorant on this 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:58.439 topic is me. I'm sure she's lovely, she is beautiful, obviously, 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.000 I don't know why she's famed. 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:01.000 She's probably. 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:07.360 I was gonna guess TikToker can any do any of 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.920 our producers is singer. I should have looked it up. 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:16.679 I know it singer songwriter. Oh okay, all right, sweet again. 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:21.120 But I am not trying to be the the I 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.679 don't really have a well, he's a pro athlete. It's 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.720 probably some type of recovery thing. Yeah, I mean, would 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.520 I wear a leg sleeve? No, I'm not a pro athlete, 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:32.960 like I'm not. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:35.240 But uh. 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.360 And by the way, there's no shade thrown at Madison 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.760 Beer there. And I I I just truly was unfamiliar 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.520 with why she was famous. But she was super like 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:51.240 super famous evidently because what she posted. Someone posted a 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.960 paparazzi picture of her and herb was like in the background, 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.400 and and Charger fans were like, I think that's justin Herbert, 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.920 and then they were the whole thing. All right, let's 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.800 get to the show to Monsday. Before we get to 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:08.000 our all thirty two team over unders, we have news 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.920 on the Browns quarterback competition. 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.920 Yeah. So Chador's final preseason game was a little shaky. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:19.160 He threw for fourteen total yards, took five sacks, And 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.240 now Chador fans are coming out and saying that the 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.079 team and Kevin Stefanski are conspiring against you. But also 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.120 Kenny Pickett just got cut. So you know, if the 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.079 landscape wh changed up a little, Kenny Thicket traded to 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.840 the Raiders traded, so the landscape white, it changed up 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.640 over there a little bit. What's the situation looking like for. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:41.800 Shadur All right, well, listen, he was he started camp 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.520 fourth string, he stayed fourth string. He's now third string 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.640 because one of the strings is on the Raiders. And 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.600 I'm going to give you the very sober analysis of this. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.200 Then we're gonna talk bigger picture of it, and then honestly, 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.440 we are not going to talk about the Cleveland Browns 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:03.199 and the quarterback situation again. And god willing for months, 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.000 Shadora could not afford the type of performance he had 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:15.679 in the third preseason game. It is as simple as that, 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:21.760 when you are a late round pick rookie, you can't 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:28.320 have a disastrous performance. You can't, and he did. It 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:32.599 was not the coach's fault, it was not the offensive 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:37.600 line's fault. It was he had a bad game, flatly. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:43.280 And the reason it is extra concerning is those of 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.880 us that were skeptical that he was ever truly a 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:53.000 first round talent. We were worried that his bad games 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:57.160 would look a lot like that, like trying to do 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:01.280 a little too much with his legs, overestimating his escapability 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:06.600 and taking those big, deep, long sacks. Schador needed to 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.080 thread a perfect needle, and he was. By the way 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:17.559 early on in camp. He needed to play well in practice. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.720 It looked like he was. He needed Dylan Gabriel to 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.560 struggle in practice he was. He needed to play well 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.160 in the first preseason game. He did, He needed Gabriel 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.640 to struggle. In the first preseason game. Gabriel didn't even play. 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.840 So all of that was going best case scenario for 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:40.960 Shador to achieve what was the only realistic goal for 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.800 him this offseason, which was past Dylan Gabriel in the 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.400 death chart. He was never going to be the Browns 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.880 starting quarterback in Week one. It was always the Browns 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:55.600 plan very clearly was one of the veterans is starting, 0:12:56.280 --> 0:13:00.840 and then the kids are backing him up, and all 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.760 of it was going according to plan. Shadoor then suffered 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.040 a slight injury which made him not able to play 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.880 at all in the second preseason game. Gabriel then, after 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.240 some really bad practices played quite well in the second 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:20.240 preseason game. Then in the third preseason game, Gabriel played 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:24.199 quite well again and Shador had a disastrous performance. And 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.160 that is now that as far as the quarterback competition goes. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:33.280 That is not conspiratorial, That is not unfair, that is 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.439 not unjust. That is life in the NFL. Is a 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:42.240 late round draft pick. That is what happened here. Also, 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:46.160 Shador fans need to recognize there's not a team in 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.240 the league he'd start for. 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.720 Not one. 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:54.560 You're on the team with arguably the worst quarterback situation, 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.800 and he is fairly right now their third best option 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.840 to starting quarterback. Okay, that is where we're at now. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:05.880 Is that a death knell for his career? 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.280 No is. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:12.920 Do I think he has more potential than Gabriel because 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:17.720 of size and pedigree. I do, But if I had 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:22.840 to from what we saw in those preseason games, if 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:28.000 in Week one Flacco goes out, you would have to 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.480 be more comfortable putting Gabriel in. That is what it is. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:38.280 That's not ridiculous, that's not unfair. That's not a vast conspiracy. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:43.200 That is what it is. The reason I find this 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.080 story interesting is the reason I find a lot of 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:52.720 things interesting is when they are symbolic for a greater 0:14:54.240 --> 0:15:00.480 problem or issue, and the Shadoor Sanders come and terry 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:11.480 to me is a case study in what has in 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:17.280 what is currently ailing so much of our discourse surrounding 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:24.760 sports and other things which is either totally uninformed actors 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:34.320 or outright bad actors churning the outrage mill to create 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:45.040 engagement and controversy. That then the current actual media feels 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:54.480 obligated to treat seriously because well, it's what people are 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:59.840 talking about, and then it becomes a valid, real story. 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:06.560 And so you have folks that absolutely know better saying 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:12.200 things like Shadoor was out there with the fifth string 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:18.040 offensive line, when such a thing does not exist. It's like, oh, 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.440 if there's not that offensive lineman was tenth on the 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:26.600 depth chart, Well there's, yeah, I get it. But there's 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.320 five offensive linemen that play at a time, and so 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.920 there is the first of all, there is no such 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.720 thing as a fifth string offensive line. You have people 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:41.720 who know better saying, oh, color me shocked those offensive 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.920 linemen on the field. Was Shador were cut shortly after 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.920 the game? No shit, man, you're at a ninety man 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.680 roster in your third preseason game. Thirty seven of those 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.680 guys aren't making the team. Guess who doesn't make the team? 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:02.640 Guys playing at the end of their preseason games. And 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:09.320 there is just just a kernel of enough validity to 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:16.520 the conspiracies. Because is it likely true that the head 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:20.920 coach didn't actually want Shador and the owner told him 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:26.000 to draft him, Yes, probably is true. Is it likely 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:31.680 true that the head coach wanted Dylan Gabriel to win 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:36.480 that competition because that's the quarterback he wanted, and Shador 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.680 is the quarterback the owner wanted. Yes, that is likely true. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:45.119 Does any of that mean Shador was put set up 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:49.040 to fail, couldn't succeed? No man, throw the ball away, 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:54.159 don't retreat back twenty five yards, don't don't make the 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.159 types of mistakes that some of us were worried you 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.840 would make. And it's not again, you're fifth round pick. 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:05.159 It's fine. But and because the owner wanted you on 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.880 the team, you're likely going to get to play at 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.960 some point this year, because the owner said both rookies 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.480 are gonna need to play. So the way this probably 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:20.680 goes is the Browns start the season, they're bad. Third 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.080 of the way into the season, they pull the plug 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:27.359 on Flacco. They go to Dylan Gabriel. They're still quite bad. 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:32.240 Gabriel as in my opinion, an overdrafted third round pick. 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:37.080 He doesn't look like the guy. And five six games 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.119 later they give Shador a try, and Shador is a 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:44.679 slightly underdrafted but still not ready fifth round pick. He 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.760 doesn't look like the guy. And next year the Browns 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.160 use the pick they got from the Jags and their 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:55.120 own pick to draft their actual quarterback. That's probably how 0:18:55.119 --> 0:19:00.280 this thing's going to go, but it is the the 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:06.520 folks out there promoting the idea league wide code read 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:12.000 the whole league was told don't draft him, and then 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:17.000 the Browns were told to draft him, and then internal 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:22.320 Brown's code read only call the bad plays Kevin. And 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:25.919 then also the same folks and I didn't understand the 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.199 Tyler Huntley signing. I said that from the beginning. I 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.639 didn't understand Tyler Huntley playing that two minute drill. But 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.879 the folks saying Shador was set up to fail with 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.159 that terrible offensive line are into the same folks saying, 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.200 and how dare you not put him in the two 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:47.960 minute drill? It's not that complicated guys, and this isn't 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:51.880 fair to Shador. He did not do this to himself, demonse. 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:57.280 But here is a reality of it, this entire conversation 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:02.000 and media. Maelstrom is one of the reasons he fell 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:09.800 in the draft because he's not a stud player and 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:13.119 once and all and no other team is having to 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:19.560 answer questions about their deep end quarterback competition and it's 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.640 the only things Defanski's had to deal with. So it's 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:27.960 just that is what it is, and the Raiders needed pick. 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:33.040 Yeah, why Gabriel was ahead of him. I don't think 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.600 anybody should be calling for a conspiracy like you saw. 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.199 I mean, that's the thing. And that's what's to me 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:44.439 so disheartening is we saw the game and people are 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:50.040 still like, Nope, that does not jive with my priors, 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.919 that does not jive with what I wanted to be true. 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.720 And there is an element of have you ever watched 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.040 the this this is a bridge too far, but I 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.520 don't I don't care. Have you ever watched the Flat 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:10.800 Earth documentary? You should watch it. It's really a truly 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:16.480 fascinating ninety minutes. Okay, and these aren't bad people and 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:22.520 it is really interesting, but the culmination of the documentary 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:29.080 is one of the group of flat earthers saying, or 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:35.120 spending a ton of money into getting the equipment. I'm 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.320 gonna get this a little wrong. The optical equipment. You 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:43.920 would need to prove that. All right, we're gonna set 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:49.960 up this pole and light here, and we're gonna set 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:55.080 up another pole here, and if the earth was flat, 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:58.119 the light will shine at this place, and if the 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.680 earth was flat the light or round, the light will 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.840 shine at this place. And we're gonna prove it. And 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:07.920 they do it, and the light shows up where it 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:14.760 would show up if the earth were round, and the 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:23.160 reaction initially is huh, let's try it again. Then they 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:27.720 do it again, and it is a brief questioning is 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:33.480 the equipment broken? And then it immediately goes to Wow, 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:40.400 the conspiracies even bigger than we thought. They've somehow hacked lighting. 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:46.919 And there is an element of that with some of 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:53.639 the Shadoor stuff, which was right. It was he's clearly better, 0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:57.480 He clearly should be the guy. He's clearly not getting 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:02.760 the opportunities. They're clearly if he and Gabriel were both playing, 0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:06.560 and then they play a game. Gabriel looks good. Shador 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:11.159 has a really really tough performance, and instead of it 0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:14.399 being like, oh, okay, that's why he was ahead of 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:20.200 him on the depth chart, it was Wow, these sons 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.920 of bitches will go to no end to stop my guy. 0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:27.359 And it's it's a little canary in the coal mine 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:31.600 of some of the bigger issues we have right now 0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:36.080 with what is truth and what is not And so 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:41.240 I find it interesting. I do. I know that my 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:46.000 favorite NFL podcast, Greg Rosenthal's NFL Daily, which I'll be 0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.720 on later this week, actually, you know, they have done 0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:52.240 they have tried to do a They have done a 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:57.640 really good job of like not leading with the topic 0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:00.720 every day that you know. The show's like the shows 0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:03.840 like mine lead with the juiciest thing because they're like 0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:07.959 really giving you the news and information and stuff. And 0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:11.320 I respect that entirely. But there is a deeper element 0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:13.639 to some of the Shador stuff that I find fascinating, 0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:16.440 just like there's a deeper element actually to some of 0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:19.640 the Mica stuff that I find fascinating that's actually about 0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:22.199 Jerry Jones and power and things like that. But at 0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:25.600 the end of the day, or had a chance. 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:27.920 If he looked better anyways, like why would they want 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:29.600 to make him look bad? It would be in their 0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:33.240 businesses for Shador to look great by the end, even 0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:34.840 if they didn't plan on keeping him. 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.439 Of course, of course, guys who want to keep their 0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:42.200 jobs want their quarterback, want to put the best quarterback 0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:45.960 on the field. Yeah, I mean there's most of the 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:52.560 most conspiracies Demanse fall apart at the first or second question, 0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:56.359 most like and that you just asked the first question, 0:24:56.680 --> 0:25:01.199 which is the wait, why again? Explain it to me? 0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:07.199 Just like the Chiefs, the you know, league rigged for 0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:10.480 the Chiefs conspiracy. It's like, hey, remind me again, who 0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:16.119 is the league? The thirty two teams? So why again 0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:20.640 are the Chargers in on this? Like some explain that 0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:25.000 to me? So most of them fall apart instantly, But 0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:30.040 so listen, he had a chance to pass Gabriel, and 0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:33.479 if Gabriel, and the nicer way to frame it is 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:38.680 Gabriel after that injury and watching Shador in preseason game one, 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:45.639 was under real pressure and Gabriel responded, and so shout 0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:48.119 out to him. All right, before we get to the 0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:51.080 micro stuff and then are over unders, the rivalries, the 0:25:51.080 --> 0:25:55.520 marching bands, the upsets, Saturdays just got way more fun. 0:25:55.600 --> 0:26:00.360 College football's back.
