1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast. Hi Dan, Welcome back to 2 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name 3 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: is Dan Hansis, and I am joined by a room 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: filled with Hero Rose, Mark Zessler, Colleen Wolf, and Greg Rose. 5 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: What's up, boys and woman? I'm alive, Thank God. I know. 6 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: I was worried when I looked at my mentions. I 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: think my family and friends are too. There was and 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: if you missed Friday show, which shame on you if 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: you did. Um. Colleen was supposed to be on the show, 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: was feeling under the weather. Um, so she uh let 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: us know she wasn't gonna make it. And maybe Mark, 12 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: you mean Greg got a little carried away and wondering 13 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: about how uh serious could be right down uh to 14 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: a eulogy of sorts or a memorialm type scenario. We 15 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: took it too far. I listened back to it. I 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: felt like we were trying to honor, you know, what 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: she has accomplished up to this point, just in case 18 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: we there was no further beyond the point. Maybe there 19 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: was the if that was the end of Colleen. Yeah, 20 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: we did happen. If something should happen, we want it to, 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: of course we would get the scoop. It would be 22 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: our It just should be our news to break. I'm 23 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: glad I'm a news point. My mom did text me 24 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: and she said, is every everything okay with Colleen? And 25 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: then we didn't hear from thanks Mrs Rosenthal. We didn't 26 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: hear it from Colleen for like twenty four hours. And 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: then I was like, shoot, she pissed it us. I 28 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: was sick. There was a very large window where there 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: was you know, expecting like a sudden rash of tweets 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: that night from Colleen or a couple of hours after 31 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: the total Well, I get this like cryptic text from 32 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: Dan and he just says you should listen to the pod. 33 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: And then I was thinking like and then some a 34 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: couple of people tweeted at me like, hey, you could 35 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: get well, you know my wording, but generally you can 36 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: get banged in a big spot. If Colleen actually does kick, 37 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: that would be that would be bad. I would have 38 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: to pull that down. I'm glad you're worried about you. 39 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: That would be the real tragedy there, well, not you, 40 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: not me, I mean the group a group of us 41 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: only honestly, the media group's we're all We've been told 42 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: as many times, don't look at yourself as NFL dot Com, 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: NFL now, NFL Network. We're all under one umbrella. And 44 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: if we got that story wrong, the NFL got that 45 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 1: story wrong, and we're happy to say we got it wrong. 46 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: Colleen's alive. I'm here. You haven't gotten rid of me yet. Good. 47 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: Who would have thought? You know, it wasn't Colleen that 48 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: was killed off? But the Oakland Raiders. Nice transitions there, 49 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that's terrible. But and especially we 50 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: have a lot of fans from Oakland. I'm more I'm 51 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: annoyed about it. Yeah, we're all upset about it. You know, 52 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: we like to consider ourselves kind of a what do 53 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: they call it, like a megaphone, looks like a microphone. 54 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think we're all fans of football and 55 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: and we really pathize with the fans in Oakland because 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: that will be the main topic today, what we're talking about. 57 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: The Raiders um are going to Las Vegas as soon 58 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: as twenty nineteen. Could uh. We just did a NFL 59 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: Network live hit on it, and we will talk about 60 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: it in depth today. Today's show, of course, sponsored by 61 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: Mr Flames Economics class in the Hague, The Netherlands and uh, yeah, 62 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: so we'll talk about the Raiders the other stuff going 63 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: on in the news, but you know, it all kind 64 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: of pales. I mean, this is a quiet time in 65 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: the calendar. So this annual NFL Owners meeting, this, as 66 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: we talked about on Friday, this was the big story. 67 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: There's a little bunch of you know what, it floats him, 68 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: thank you. I like float Sam that uh, that we 69 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: were talking about, but that we'll be talking about. But 70 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: the main thing is this Raiders situation, and it does suck. 71 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't get much bigger than one of the league's 72 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: most iconic franchise is moving to Las Vegas. Of all places, 73 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: it would have been insane to imagine this even as 74 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: a possibility five ten years ago. You would have never 75 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: thought the NFL would even consider it. Yeah, so if 76 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: any team is going to go to Vegas, makes sense 77 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: that it would be the Raiders. But it still stinks 78 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: that you're absolutely right about that, and I think, yeah, 79 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: all of us growing up as football fans, if you 80 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: watch like TV or movies and they always have fake 81 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: football teams and those, uh, when you don't have the 82 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: NFL licensing was always like the Las Vegas Renegade Vegas 83 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: outlaw and it's like you never thought that the Las 84 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. This doesn't make any sense. How did this happen? 85 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: It's like I mentioned on the network k It, it it 86 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: feels like when you're just utterly you're younger and just 87 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: utterly hammered and playing Madden and coming up with the 88 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: most convoluted like city and team combination. It's like, this 89 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: just feels surreal. And the thing is, it's not a surprise. 90 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: We knew this was gonna happen. We knew this was 91 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: in the books, but now that it's happened, it feels 92 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: so bizarre, and it's so awkward for fans that half 93 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: to go to the games now in Oakland for the 94 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: next two years before they make the move to Las Vegas. 95 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: And it's sort of like, I mean, coming off this sickness, 96 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: maybe I'm just my head is in this space, but 97 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: I feel like for the fans, you can look at 98 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: it like it's kind of dealing with a terminal illness. 99 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: So you have a chance to have those two years 100 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,679 Speaker 1: to say everything that you want to say. You can 101 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: say your goodbyes and take your time with it and 102 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: sort of ease yourself off of the team instead of 103 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: having them just suddenly gone in the middle of the 104 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: night and you're left dealing with shock and emotions and feelings. 105 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: You know, now you can just take your time and 106 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: watch the team slip away. You know that that analogy 107 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: is fitting because you know what, you know my big 108 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: takeaway with terminal illnesses? Please it sucks. Yeah, it's a 109 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: fitting analogy if like, right after you're at the bedside 110 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: and you're crying, and you go to the funeral with 111 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: your brothers and you know we're gonna we're all gonna 112 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: miss mom, looking for closure, and then you turn on 113 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: the TV later that fall and you see moms out 114 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: with some other guy. Mom's fine, she's living, she's fine, 115 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: she's happier and making more money. Wait a minute, do 116 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: you feel a little different about the terminal The Raiders 117 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: aren't the The Raiders don't have the terminal illness? Oakland 118 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: as a football city, does Oakland ain't dating another guy? 119 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: Six months later? Oakland's got nothing now zero zip? All right, 120 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: but let's say what Greg was Greg was under what 121 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: does the Vegas guy that mom's now you know, going 122 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: to town with explain it? However you want. Uh. You know, 123 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: he's he's muscle he's muscle bound. He's got a big 124 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: tan from all the pool nights, at pool days, at rehab. 125 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: You know, he's got the glasses on. He listens to 126 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: club music and Calvin Harris, Harris, you know, you name him. 127 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: He's listening to these club bangers. And you're back in 128 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: Oakland and you're like, mom is supposed to be dead. 129 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: Now we're getting a little distant. Yeah, but like Vegas 130 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: now has two teams now, they have an NHL franchise 131 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: and an NFL franchise after having zero that Steve Weisman 132 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: in our network kit broke that news to me, did 133 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: anybody else? And anybody else noticed? I didn't know the 134 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: name of the team, so that was news to me. 135 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: I was confused. I was like, is that a minor 136 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: league team that's already there, or is that the hockey 137 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: team that's moving there? Because I do they're starting this year, 138 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: next next NHL season. I didn't Golden Knights, and I 139 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: am from the town of Pearl River, New York. It's 140 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: a cold town, very humble, um, you know, very blue collar. 141 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: It's basically a Springsteen song set to life it's like 142 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: the place. It's the type of place to build the 143 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: Clintons would retire to. All right, Martha's all right, Martha, 144 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,239 Speaker 1: anyway are We were the pro river Pirates and our 145 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: chief rival were the Nanuete Golden Knights, And I didn't 146 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: think the Golden Knights was a name that was gonna 147 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: get a lot of traction. Now it's a professional franchise. 148 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: How are you feeling about this right now that they're 149 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: back in your life again. We actually every October we 150 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: used to battle for the little Brown jug the big 151 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: football game. You know, I don't. I don't have any 152 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: other feelings other than the reference a little brown jug 153 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: in a big spot. I think it's interesting though, that 154 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: the two commissioners that are the most against gambling, you have, 155 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell and Gary Bettman, and now their teams are 156 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. I think I think it's gonna go 157 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: slower than the country's attitudes towards uh legal marijuana, which 158 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: also is affecting the NFL. And I think it's going 159 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: too soon because I think the NFL is going to 160 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: change their their drug policy so it's it's not as 161 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: severe if you get caught smoking weed, but in the 162 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: same way that that's happened around the country faster than 163 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: anyone would have possibly imagined. I think it's going that 164 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: direction with sports gambling. It's a little tougher, it's a 165 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: little longer of a road. But just the fact that 166 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: the NFL is willing to move there, I think is 167 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: they see a future where, okay, maybe this can be 168 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: done responsibly. Sports gambling is not that big of a deal. 169 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: The whole rest of the freaking world bets on sports 170 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: in the US, doesn't they bet on it, Like when 171 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: they're going into the stadiums and basically we know that, 172 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: you know all about that. It's just here's anything. They 173 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: were out of turns. They tried. It's easy to just 174 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: rip the Raiders from one angle and say you shouldn't 175 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: have done this, you shouldn't have moved. But they tried 176 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: for a very long time. California's a state is not 177 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: into financing gigantically expensive stadiums. They are not, and and 178 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: they basically they ran out of moves. This gives stability 179 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: and a modern stadium to the Raiders. This was the option. 180 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: Let's let's break this down a little bit in terms 181 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: of just like the X is and ohs of the 182 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: announcement today and what happened. So the NFL owners voted 183 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: thirty one to one on Monday the Dolphins, and I'd 184 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: love to know the reason why he released the statement. 185 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: What did Stevie Ross have to say? I kind of 186 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: liked it what he had to say. Actually, Miami was 187 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: the coolest city before with a team. Now got Vegas 188 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: to deal with. Hmmm. I don't think that was the 189 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: contents of the statement, but that's a good That was 190 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: the official statement. He echoed really what we have been 191 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: echoing and I think we're going to continue that that 192 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: that we should keep the fans in mind, that teams 193 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: should do everything possible to stay in their home market. 194 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: That a home that a team like that is a 195 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: public utility and they should have basically try harder that 196 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: that that that keeping making these teams move around or 197 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: letting these teams happen. Three teams in fourteen months is 198 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: bad long term for the NFL. You know, Stephen Ross 199 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: way to be well in. NFL Network insider Ian rapp 200 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: Report said on the air before we came up here 201 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: that the kind of the mood of why they down 202 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: voted it was not just the Raiders situation. But like 203 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: you said, the whole thing of we're shifting teams, which 204 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: is terrible for the NFL. It is utterly terribly moves 205 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: in what's seventeen months, fourteen months, uh, including two major 206 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: um cities in California. So San Diego loses the charges 207 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: to l A, which I think people are still trying 208 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: to make sense of that. And now Oakland is a 209 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: different situation. Now they go to Vegas and it seemed 210 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: like um that San Diego there was a deal that 211 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: could be made there, and the ownership just decide there 212 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: was more money to be made in Los Angeles. This 213 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: is a little more complicated issue, I think in Oakland 214 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: because it goes going back to the current owner's father. 215 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: They had been trying to build a new stadium in Oakland, 216 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,239 Speaker 1: uh for years and years and years uh and the 217 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: they explored options in Los Angeles that didn't work out, 218 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: and then they look to Vegas and then Nevada lawmakers 219 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: approved seven fifty million of public financing for a new stadium. 220 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: That's a big part of this too, like Bank of 221 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: America another six million. So there's a lot of people 222 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: that were kind of getting out of the era where 223 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: cities are rubbers stamping, or that these teams are are 224 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: forcing almost a hostage situation where they're saying build us 225 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: a stadium or we're leaving team. Cities I feel like 226 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: are spinning up, been getting a backbone and saying no, 227 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: you're the billionaire, do it. But the problem with that 228 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: is you could play hardball like that, but you could 229 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: end up like San Diego now Oakland too. It's that's 230 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: why it's such a bad situation. California is essentially a 231 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: small nation and they've got incredible issues. You know, we 232 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: all live here, and if you have kids in the 233 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: school system, it's a disastrous school system in many cities. 234 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: There's so many programs that are underfunded than money voters 235 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: here are they're gonna put money and they're gonna rubber 236 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: stamp money towards things that matter more to the right emilies, 237 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: which is which makes sense. I mean, this country is 238 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: a mass right now. You know what school systems are struggling. 239 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: Las Vegas not exactly on top of things, like they 240 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: just basically cut funding. You know, they cut funding to 241 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: their schools to like increase classizes, and that is a 242 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: drop in the bucket, Like the money that they're taking 243 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: out for schools compared to seven fifty million dollars, so 244 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: that all makes sense to me. It's really just because 245 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: Mark Davis is not like other owners, and I don't 246 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: think the Chargers ownership the Spanuses are like other owners. 247 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: If you Mark Davis wanted to I said it last show, 248 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: like he could find a billionaire in the Bay Area 249 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: that could figure out his own stadium, but they can't 250 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: afford it. They can't afford um. Here's what Mark Davis 251 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: had to say at the annual owners meetings when the 252 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: became official that the Raiders were going to Las Vegas. 253 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: My father used to say that the greatness of the 254 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: Raiders is in its future, and the opportunity to build 255 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: a world class stadium in the entertainment capital of the 256 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: world is one opportunity that will give us an opportunity 257 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: to give us the ability to achieve that greatness. And 258 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: then Davis and I will give him at least some 259 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: credit for this. There was some self awareness that maybe 260 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: we haven't seen with some other recent owners about you 261 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: know what this meant for the city he was leaving behind. 262 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: I have mixed feelings. Obviously, I love Oakland, I love 263 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: the fans in Oakland, and I know that there's going 264 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: to be disappointment and maybe some anger, and I just 265 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: hope that in the future, as we play in Oakland 266 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: this year, that they understand that it wasn't the players, 267 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't the coaches that made this decision, but it 268 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: was me that made it. And if they have anybody 269 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: to talk to about it, it should be me, and 270 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: I will in the coming days try to explain to 271 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: them what went into making this difficult decision. Thank you, 272 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: m M. Mark Davis can't go to a game for 273 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: like two years. Yeah, Um, it's gonna be so strange 274 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: the next two to three years. Let's let's get into 275 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: that a little like that. They announced that they're going 276 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: to play in the Call Seam this year, and they 277 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: planned to the year after that. That you did use 278 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: the word plan to so I think if this year 279 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: went horribly wrong, they can they can get out of 280 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: that lease. The thing that was newsy to me, more 281 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: newsy than anything almost in terms of surprises. Mark Davis 282 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: kind of made the public pitch we'd love to stay 283 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: in if the Raiders fans want us to. Basically, I 284 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: think their their whole thing is they're gonna try to 285 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: keep all these fans, and they're gonna try to make 286 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: it seem like a three year goodbye, a three year 287 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: party and have a good atmosphere, and if they can, 288 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: they might stay there in This is a three year 289 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: run up until this stadium is ready in Las Vegas. 290 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: It's very strange. It's very I hate that, though. I 291 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: agree that's that's having it having it both ways, which 292 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: is like, hey, we want to turn this and to 293 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: go back to the death analogy, we want to turn 294 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: this into a three year funeral and you know when 295 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: Irish funeral, Yeah, and Irish funeral. We're not here to mourn. 296 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: We're here to celebrate the life of the Oakland. You know, 297 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: screw that, that's both let's break up and still be friends. Yeah, exactly. 298 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: Let's let's call it what it is. You abandon your 299 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: city and you need time to bridge the gap between 300 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: that Vegas stadium. Let's not you know, put lipstick on 301 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: a pig here and pretend like, oh, it's gonna be 302 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: amazing these final years and that right, let's not act 303 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: like the main reason is that the only other option 304 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: they have in Las Vegas right now is in u 305 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: n l V Football stadium that is not up to 306 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: snuff and the and will not be for another year 307 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: at least. So if it is, then that's still not 308 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: a good option for them. But if things totally go 309 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: south in Oakland, they're not gonna hang around for another 310 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: two years. I view that you're right. It was a pitch, 311 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: but it was also Mark Davis saying, hey us and 312 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: maybe this will be great for the people of Oakland, 313 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: And at that point you've got to say enough, your 314 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: your statement at this point has gone on too long. 315 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: Thank you. I can't imagine being a Raiders fans right, 316 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: all of the emotions that you're going through. I would 317 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: never want to go to a game and give them 318 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: my money. Well that that I agree with you, And 319 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: there I think there's gonna be a ton of anger, 320 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: and I think Raiders fans are more mixed on it 321 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: than than certainly charges of Rams fans where it was 322 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: all just fury. But fast forward to late October. If 323 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: the Raiders are seven and one, then what are you feeling? 324 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: Because it's this team you just invested so much in, 325 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: Not to mention the last thirteen years of not having 326 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: a winning record, you've got an m v P caliber quarterback, 327 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: even if he's not making m VP decisions in terms 328 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: of who follows him, who gets blocked on Twitter. You've 329 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, you've you've had this team that you're excited 330 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: about and maybe they're gonna be in the mix, And 331 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: how what are you gonna be feeling then? How could 332 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: you not get swept up a little but have mixed emotions? 333 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think there are two types of 334 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: for scenes it's in and as we mentioned on the 335 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: NFL Network, it's not the same as if you were 336 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: an Oilers fan and it's curtains, you're everything that you've 337 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: rooted for is suddenly gone, or if you were a 338 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: Browns fan and they're gone and you don't know if 339 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a team back. There are two types 340 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: of Raiders fans. There are probably regional Oakland Bay area 341 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: fans that identify more with the fact that I'm from 342 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: the Bay Area. You don't diss the Bay Area. Maybe 343 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: a little Debbie falls into that category, we don't know. 344 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: But the other side is just pure Raiders fans. They're 345 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: still have their team and they've dealt with a move already. 346 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: This is unprecedented. It's a team moving twice now, so 347 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying that you dealt with a move already. So yeah, 348 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: it's like about this Mark. You, as everyone on this 349 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: podcast knows, Brown's came back in nine to Cleveland, have 350 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: never identified a quarterback. They've struggled for seven senor eighteen years. Now, 351 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: imagine you, Mark finally got the quarterback, and then the 352 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: front office made the right the draft decisions and they 353 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: stuck with their GM five year process. They finally stuck 354 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: with a plan and up with management and hit on 355 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: the quarterback with a second round pick, and you think 356 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: you're set up as a fan for the next decade, 357 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: and then you get told that it's all that's getting 358 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: the rug yanked out. I don't know if people are saying, 359 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: like we don't Maybe the reaction isn't as hardcore as 360 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: it's been in San Diego, Los Angeles. Maybe the writers 361 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: fans in Oakland, Uh, first of all, we're not up there. 362 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: Second of all, maybe they're a little bit in a 363 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: shock right now because it's this has been hanging over 364 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 1: them for years and years. But the fact that this 365 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: is actually gonna happen, You're gonna lose Derek car You're 366 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: gonna lose this great talented offense. You're gonna lose Khalil Mack. 367 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: Like that is crazy thought. If you're a fan, it's 368 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think the I think the difference 369 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: is is that I would fall into at this point 370 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: in my life. I'm Brown's fan. I'm not with the 371 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: fact that it's I don't live in Cleveland. I've never 372 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: lived in Cleveland. So it's like if you're if you're 373 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: more tied to them, being interwoven with the city that 374 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: you live in, raise your family in, have your kids 375 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: and want them to be Raiders fans, and suddenly they're uprooted. 376 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: That fan, that fan is gonna have a different reaction 377 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: than the people we see all over the place where 378 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: you go, there's Raiders fans and they're like, there's all 379 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: this chatter out there about Raider Nation number one above 380 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: all this. Derek Carr actually called for that essentially in 381 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: a statement. But I think you're right. We are five 382 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: hours into this announcement. Let's see where fans are, you know, 383 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: three or four months from now, if not weeks, and 384 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: we'll see. Well, I would say, let's see seven years 385 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: from now, you know. That's That's where I'm thinking. Once 386 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: once the buzz kind of wears off, and let's say that, 387 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: you know, the Raiders are just back to being a 388 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: middling team or but like is could this is a 389 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: thing that I could imagine that the NFL made a 390 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: huge mistake, Like I rarely look at uh moves that 391 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: the NFL makes and can't understand them. And I can 392 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: understand this, but think that it doesn't lack for say, 393 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: I could see this being something in the NFL regrets 394 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: in seven eight years. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's Stephen 395 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: Ross was saying. I think that that that it's half 396 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: filled with opposing fans and there's not really a local community, 397 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: and they lose a lot of the Raiders fans that 398 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: they had, but they're not really gaining them. And then 399 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: they're just in this weird spot with a nice stadium 400 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: there to the point of like the the frustration again 401 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: of the situation for the fans to get left behind. 402 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: Something I heard today on NFL Network Gonna Watch. I 403 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: just wanna play a clip from you. This was Steve 404 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: Watch and Kim Jones talking at the owners meetings. No 405 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: victory lap of any sorts from the league or Mark Davis. 406 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: I think they understand the pain that this is gonna 407 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: cause some folks in Oakland, so they were clear not 408 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 1: to stick out their chest and say, hey, we're super 409 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: happy to be coming to Las Vegas. All good, but 410 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of deja vu. And then I read 411 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: the statement from Derek Carr. As players, we will show 412 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: up and give everything we have. We will compete, and 413 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: we will do our best to bring a championship to 414 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: the entire Raider nation. While I am from California and 415 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: would have loved playing in Oakland my whole career, I 416 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: understand the business side of the NFL. It affects us. 417 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: All that sounds a lot like Philip Rivers like not 418 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: to not to go back to a point we already made. 419 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: But three times at fourteen months, this is happening. This 420 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: is bad business. And I would have never thought the 421 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: NFL would has never been more successful than it is now, Colleen, 422 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: that this is happening now where we can't get these 423 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: teams to stay put. No, we can't figure out solutions, 424 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: And I think the blame falls on a lot of people, 425 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: both inside the NFL and out. It's just so weird. 426 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: Because we went so long without any franchises moving, and 427 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, we're banking three times in 428 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: a row. But I want to know what happens hey 429 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: with the players, the young players, the like when you 430 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: think about rookies and you're right out of college and 431 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're in Vegas. That, oh my god, 432 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: how do you survive that? That's it's a great point. 433 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: And survive are we talking terminal again? Just thinking about surviving? 434 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: You thinking like a zombie apocalypsis. I've been on the quill, 435 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: I on a lot of beds. I mean, I think 436 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: NFL players will love it. They will love the road 437 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: trip to Vegas, and I think I think it might 438 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: be a fun place for young people, you know, young people, 439 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: but it's kinda be you know, the potential for insane 440 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: stories and just everything coming out is well, I'd say, 441 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: though I'm not going blue chips. Rappaport mentioned the coaches 442 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: last night. We're already like thinking about how to deal 443 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: with that. Where you keep teams, you keep them thirty 444 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: miles off the strip. They're saying potentially, but honestly, like, 445 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: if you're twenty, you got a ton of money any 446 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: NFL city, you can go do whatever you want for 447 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: the most part. I mean, I mean it's yes, it's 448 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: there's more. You guys have gone to Vegas. We think 449 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: about think about what we sign every year as NFL employees. 450 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: The NFL Compliance Plan, Like it is literally against policy 451 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: to stay in a hotel. I believe that has a 452 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: sports book in it, Like, think about, how do you 453 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: do a Super Bowl there? Then how do you how 454 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: do you really convince I don't it doesn't believe, but 455 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: you talked about it culturally. This is gonna be a change. 456 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: I believe you can stay in the hotel, you not 457 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: set foot inside the sports book. Um, I believe. I 458 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: believe that's what it is. And you're hoping that because 459 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: you've already shattered that compliance that's I feel like that's 460 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: something that I had heard. It's like the studio just 461 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: goes dark. I love that Craig has at this point 462 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: committed to memory the compliance outlines around any sort of 463 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: gambling and make sure I'm with I'm fully complian, like 464 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: a beautiful mind. He's like writing it on the walls, 465 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: and um, you bring up a good point, by the way, 466 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: Colleen about uh young guys, young girls like going to 467 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: Vegas for weekends. And now, oh, we're going to build 468 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: in the Raiders game. That's a little tricky. The game's 469 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: gonna be on Sunday afternoon. You're gonna get into town 470 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: Thursday or Friday. Do you have a bad weekend? No? 471 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: What they need is Anna afford any Well, yeah. The 472 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: new stadium though, needs to have I V stations. I think, oh, 473 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: there you go again, right because they have I V 474 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: buses there are talking about the company you endorse that 475 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: water problem. It's liquid ivy and it's a hydration shameless. No, 476 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: it's also I drink it all the time. It's great. 477 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: I gotta get on the Raiders podcast. Greg defended Colleen. 478 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: You just asked her, You asked her what it was. 479 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: She answered the question. I know. I keep buying it 480 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: though for real, Um, but the shameless that lettle aside 481 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: right there. I keep buying it. I keep buying it 482 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: because it works. But what about the I V buses 483 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: and stuff that they have there. They have like people 484 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: that will come to you and give you I V 485 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: s and like, so that should totally be in the state. 486 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: Colleen all over the IVY bus situation, everyone else is like, 487 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: I didn't know that the pluses. Yeah, as we said, 488 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: if there was one NFL team in Vegas, Raiders makes sense, 489 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: it could. If the stadium is cool, it adds another 490 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 1: kind of layer to Vegas is a fun venue. And 491 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: I get I get the finance, and it's all about money. 492 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: We know that, Like that's what this is. This game 493 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: is all about if you're an owner, because the NFL 494 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: team is your is your plaything. He's going from Oakland 495 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: where they were like near the bottom of the pile 496 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: making money in terms of revenue, and if this works, 497 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be insane the amount of money that. That's 498 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: why I think the NFL may not look back on 499 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: it and say it's a mistake because they care about 500 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: one thing. I get about one thing. But I think 501 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: the NFL has done a good job over the long 502 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 1: term of thinking big picture and thinking what's best for 503 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: the league, not always just thinking about dollars, and like, 504 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: is it that big of a deal that one of 505 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: your thirty two teams is making less stadium revenue right 506 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: now than the other teams aren't Something's more important than 507 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: that over a really long period of time, Like your 508 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: answer thirty one owners told you. I think. I think 509 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: at a different point in NFL history, when there were 510 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: more Rooney's and Maras and and all the original owners, 511 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: maybe the decisions would be different. But now it's like, Nope, 512 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: we gotta bump them up to the eighteenth most valuable 513 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: team from thirty second. Guy. But think about it too. 514 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: All of the hotels there and the casinos, they're going 515 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: to buy sweets in the new stadium, they're gonna be 516 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: giving away tickets, and like if every single hotel, if 517 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: you're the only hotel that doesn't have one, like, are 518 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: they all Once one does it, then they all have 519 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: to do it all? Right? One question, Dan, you said 520 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: that the Raiders are the best team to move to 521 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. What would be the worst in your opinion? 522 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: I mean, besides, I would say the Texans. That wouldn't work. 523 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: But why would the Texans be the worst? The Las 524 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: Vegas Texans. It's kind of name I don't well, I'm 525 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: just saying, yeah, okay, not roster or coach. There's a 526 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: team called the Utah Jazz and nobody bats an Io. 527 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: But that about the Pelicans l A Lakers. They named 528 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: them the Pelican. The Pelicans. A lot of Pelicans down there, Greg, 529 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: you can attest to you were. I mean, it was 530 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: a surprising choice for a nickname, but it was their 531 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: choice when they moved Texans. Makes sense a pure naming standpoint, 532 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: but they would probably rename it. Take what Yeah, well, 533 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: all right, I'm going without renaming because that that I mean, 534 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: I'm eliminating them because it seems like the most obvious 535 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: You don't listen, you can come back, and I'm not 536 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: slow the podcast down to a screeching halt would be weird. 537 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: They don't they do to any of the Giants that 538 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: you know, the Giants have been there forever, and they're 539 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: kind of like, hey, we're the classy New York team 540 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: and Giants work and you know, the Vegat Patriots okay, 541 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: they almost want to St. Louis. Then can we get 542 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: through one show talking about fans? Patriots says the Jets. 543 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: Fan Jets come up a lot on the show, and 544 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: they're a lot less relevant. Oh boy, the Veggest Saints 545 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: would be good. All right, that's Vegas Saints is good. 546 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: They should be the Vegat Saints and Sinners. Oh, the Sinners. 547 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: I like that, Saints and Sinners is a woefully overpriced 548 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: place for food in New Orleans. I believe it used. 549 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: I believe owned by the guy who uh is the 550 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: lead in the Male Strip Show movie. I'm really I'm 551 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: really getting old. He's a very famous guy, but I 552 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,239 Speaker 1: can't think of his name right now. You know there 553 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: is I don't want to. I want to table the 554 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: discussion uh into well, the male strip club discussion. Yes, 555 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: all permanently, that's perfectly tabled. The other discussion I want 556 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: to hold for Wednesday because West has to be here 557 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: for it. But I don't. I don't want to do it, 558 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: and I know we had rules, but West West is 559 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: a desert Consigliari spice rack. It might be good to 560 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: get some perspective on the guy that actually lives in 561 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: Lost Oh. I agree with said. I think you need 562 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: both on Wednesday, and you get in touch with Little 563 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: Debbie's people. Makes some happen. It was Channing Tainum, by 564 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: the way, Tatum, we we had tabled that conversation. I've 565 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: gone back to I brought back. I think it might 566 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: and we'll let West decide because it was his, his 567 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: his buddy that that of course, and on some level 568 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: West has felt let him down with some of his 569 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: past appearances. But if ever there was a time to 570 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: check back in with a spice rack, I don't know. 571 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: I only agree with you. There's some other news to hit, um, 572 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: so why don't we do it? So let's see what 573 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: else is in the news. You're alive. You got it 574 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: because she died, but now you're not. You're back like Lazarus, 575 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: all right, So yeah, there's the other stuff in the news. 576 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: It's it's kind of a bit of a several steps 577 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: down in terms of irrelevance. But let's talk about Adrian 578 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: Peterson and uh, still doesn't have a team. He released 579 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: a statement on his social media handles, like he did 580 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: it on Twitter. I think you might have done it 581 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: on Facebook. Uh, and I'll read it real quick here. 582 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: You can't believe everything you read or hear people. Oh. 583 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: This was in reference to the report out there that 584 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: he was seeking eight million annually as a salary, which 585 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: I think we talked about briefly on Friday, which is 586 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: kind of crazy considering the market for veteran running backs. Uh, 587 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: you can't believe everything you read or hear people. The 588 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: last thing I'm worried about is playing ball. This coming 589 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: season that will happen. It's not all about the money. 590 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: Is everyone is speculating here lately blah blah blah. Let 591 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: me eliminate questions or speculation as to why I believe 592 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: the whole I believe wholeheartedly. My God will lend me 593 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: right where I need to be to accomplish what I've 594 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: asked from him period. He's looking for the best fit 595 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: any team that he could help in a major way 596 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: win a championship. Interesting. Well, of course he's not worried 597 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: about it right now because all the other big name 598 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: free agent running backs are off the market, so it's 599 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: really just him sitting there and he's thirty two coming 600 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: off a meniscus tear. What like, what else does he 601 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: have to do? He has no other choice. I was confused, 602 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: but I didn't I read this statement. I first of all, 603 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: I wasn't even sure what he was referring to in 604 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: the first place. And then he he said, how prideful 605 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: is it for me to put out I won't play 606 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: for anything less than eight million exclamation. I don't know 607 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: what he was even trying, Like, what the point he 608 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: was trying to prove there? But however he would say like, 609 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: who am I to say that I wouldn't play for 610 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: anything less than that? Why, well, here's a here the 611 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: person who hired the agent who said that you want 612 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: eight million dollars. I think it's I think it's a 613 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: statement reflecting on whatever he's hearing behind the scenes. It says, 614 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: you definitely are not going to be making eight million years, 615 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: so get out ahead of it and act like that's nonsense. 616 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: I would never demand such a thing, not you, Adrian Peterson. 617 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: Now we continue to hear Marshall Lynch and all these 618 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: little stories he's got his tank is full, that he's rejuvenated, 619 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: the Raiders could be interested, blah blah blah um the 620 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: Greg the the Peterson to Oakland still makes a lot 621 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: of sense. But let's be honest, here where else could 622 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: this guy play? Does anybody else have a team to 623 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: throw out that maybe hasn't been discussed that makes sense 624 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: at this point, he's got to get a job somewhere. 625 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: It's almost April. Have you talked about the Lions? I haven't. 626 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: Maybe the Lions. He goes to a division rival, the 627 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: need in every down back. I think he should do it. 628 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: I think the Buccaneers have been a great fit, and 629 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: I think, like all of these teams are waiting for 630 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: that price to come down. I think if he said 631 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: I'll play for one million, I mean one year, two 632 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: and a half million, there'll be teams interested, and I 633 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: think the Bucks would be one of them. But I 634 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: think he should do that before the draft, because that's 635 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: one thing depressing his market already is how good this 636 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: draft classes. And then I think once you get you know, 637 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: ten running backs in the first three rounds or whatever 638 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: it's got to be, and you know, three or four 639 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: in the first you know, thirty five picks, like those 640 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: teams are really going to be off the market for 641 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: a guy like Adrian Peterson. Sine Now moving on, uh uh. 642 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: The Buffalo News is the major daily in the western 643 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: New York region, and Jerry Sullivan is a columnist for 644 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: that newspaper. Great NFL coverage by the Buffalo News. One 645 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: of the would say and uh. Jerry wrote a column 646 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: that was published today over the weekend, headline, Bills should 647 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: fire Doug Waley and be done with it. I'm just 648 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: gonna read the opening two graphs because Jerry doesn't pull 649 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: any punches here. I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for 650 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: Doug Waley. Bit by bit, the Bill's general manager has 651 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: seen his power and stature diminished as a Pagoula's conferred 652 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: unprecedented control of the football operation to their new head 653 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott. Wally has become a mute, emasculated figure. 654 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: He's not allowed to speak for the organization anymore, even 655 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: on the rare occasions where they used to trust him. 656 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: The latest indignity is his exclusion from next month's predraft 657 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: media luncheon. So what if you read I read the 658 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: whole um, It's it's it's it's good, it's well written, 659 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: and it makes sense. There's logic to it. But Sullivan's 660 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: basically getting at They decided to make McDermott like the 661 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: all seeing OZ guy in Buffalo, which, let's be honest, 662 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: that's a risky move, making him a Belichick guy when 663 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: we don't know if he can do anything. He's never 664 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: been a coach or GM or anything, and that puts 665 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: Well in a position where he's basically lame duck or 666 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 1: something worse, waiting to be fired or should he quit 667 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: and try to keep his dignity. It's a it's a 668 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: situation to what happened to uh Howie Roseman in Philadelphia 669 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: with Chip Kelly. He came out the other side. I know, 670 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: not that Doug Whaley is going that won't happen here, 671 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: but it is very peculiar that there. I don't understand 672 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: why they didn't fire him at the same time as 673 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: Rex Roy. Don't they just clean the house entirely. Gms 674 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: don't usually get the opportunity to work with multiple coaches, 675 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: to work with multiple quarterbacks, and too in that period 676 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: of time, clash with multiple ridge I mean really clashed 677 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 1: with dougma Rown and he clashed at least ideologically with 678 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: with with Rex Ryan. It's it's like, how is this 679 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: guy continuing to exist in this organization. It's it's frustrating 680 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: for Bills fans that you're starting a new era in 681 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: a month into it, like a local the local columnist 682 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: is writing fired the GM and and get anyway with it. 683 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: It's like the imagine being Jerry Sullivan. Just you see 684 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: Doug Whaley at the seven eleven or something awkward. You know, 685 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: that's kind of very awkward. I mean, you can't publish 686 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: this article until you just are confident this guy's on 687 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: the way out and there. The the organization is not 688 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: going to just crush our paper for something like this. 689 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: The marriage of Whaley and McDermott seems strange that you 690 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: would even go into it, and it sounds like McDermott 691 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: is the one that's getting to pull the strings. Now. 692 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: The only thing I can think of is he's waiting 693 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: to be fired so he can get paid for the 694 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: rest of his contract, and maybe they're just keeping him 695 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: to be escape goat for McDermott if McDermott's moves don't 696 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: totally pan out. It's good to have scapegoats inside the organization. 697 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: Any organizations they built, they bought the do you think 698 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: we keep sally around? Even back there right now? Sniper 699 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: fire from total Job, That was exact word I was, 700 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: although I agreed with his points, so I'm right there 701 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: with it. I yeah, I thought it's funny. And this 702 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: this speaks to the frustration of Bills fans that because 703 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,280 Speaker 1: again they have not been in the playoffs since the season, 704 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: which is even if you're in Tom Brady's division, that's 705 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: unacceptable and there's such a frustration. The Bugoulahs were hailed 706 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 1: as saviors when they stepped in and save the Bills 707 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: from potentially being moved out of Buffalo. But now you 708 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: could really feel even what are we three thousand miles away? 709 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,839 Speaker 1: You could feel the chill, both from the media and 710 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: the fans of the Bills who are sick of it. 711 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: They are sick of everything around this team. Their inability 712 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: to get things together and have a couple ten win 713 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: seasons and just get rolling in the right direction. They 714 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: can't do it, and I think Wale is like he's 715 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: a symbol of that, Like they refuse to really do 716 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: things the right way, and it keeps them behind the curve. 717 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: I get it. As a Jets fan, I get it. Well, 718 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: you can't sympathize with them then if that's the case, 719 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: until they get rid of him, until they just fire him. 720 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: I guess the point is that he is kind of gone, 721 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 1: but he's just living in the building now. And he 722 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: called him a mute, emasculated figure. Jerry did I mean, 723 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: Jerry is pitying him. That's terrible. Pull the trigger, get 724 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: him out of the building, all right. Nice imagery, you know, 725 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: with the chill coming over Buffalo, A little lake effects, 726 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: snow burying once more, little temp talk in a big 727 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: people people love talking about the lake effects. Now, you know, 728 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,799 Speaker 1: during bills, games or whatever, it's always the lake effects. Now, 729 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: everybody's got to come down with the lake effects. Now 730 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: ever lived up there, what do you know about lake off? 731 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: It's now you don't like the opposite gender. For like 732 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: eight months in upstate New York and just western New York, 733 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: you went to like approximately fourteen colleges. One was up 734 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: in that area college but my both of my grandparents 735 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 1: lived in Syracuse and Ithaca, and we would take these 736 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: drives up in the winter. It's no joke that winner 737 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,240 Speaker 1: is not something to be trifled at wrestling matches up there. Crazy, 738 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: you would wrestle up there, go to wrestling matches there 739 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: was I was the wrestling manager at Drexel. I thought 740 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: you meant like w w W as you were the wrestling. Yeah, 741 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,479 Speaker 1: it was my work study, so I got paid for that. 742 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: Did you get collie flower ear and no diseases as well? Thanks? No? 743 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: What do you get? You get like ring worm right 744 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,479 Speaker 1: from the mats? No, that was disgusting. But I learned 745 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,760 Speaker 1: how to score matches. How about that? I covered wrestling 746 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: at my old newspaper and never learned how to score 747 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: match You didn't every every every every match I covered 748 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 1: became a human interest puff piece about some fight to 749 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: overcome the odds. Same thing when they had they sent 750 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: me to cover swimming and diving. Oh I did that. 751 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: I like, you think I'm gonna know what's a good 752 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 1: diving a bad dive. Right, Let's do some human interest 753 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: pieces and be done with it. I did that with lacrosse. 754 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: I have no idea I couldn't cover. I would get 755 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 1: into the fifth enning of a baseball game and I 756 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: have no idea what's happening. Honestly, I mean like if 757 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 1: you start to know if you if you're covering baseball 758 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 1: and they don't have the scoreboard up and it's just 759 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: humans playing baseball, and it's a high school like low 760 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 1: level field, you're not keeping score. Well, I'm trying to 761 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: keep you score in a in a book I took it, 762 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: and you're trying to keep scoring, and like beer, there's 763 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: I'm like sixteen years old. I'm saying I would get 764 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: into the fifth inning and I realized I have no 765 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: idea what the scores and which person from the team 766 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm supposedly covering do I acknowledge At the end of 767 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: the game. I have no idea what the score was. 768 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 1: I don't know who did what. I had to write 769 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: an article on this. I quit, I'm done, I'm out, 770 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: Drive home, Drive to Costa rica Um. Little Ralph Berry 771 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: stood on that diving board and looked out to the water, 772 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: but he might have been looking out to the world 773 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: for all we know. So much was on shoulders in 774 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: that moment. Barry came through and then you just plug 775 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: in the gut and away we got what was the 776 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:22,240 Speaker 1: name of the newspaper, the Journal News all right, also 777 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: home to Ian Rappaport, Ian R.

That was especially that would be 803 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: especially like alarming because they really did, uh try hard 804 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 1: to keep the curtain down at that time.

Uh, 816 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: I loved it the first one here, Luke Underling at 817 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: seven more likely to be a pro bowler this year? 818 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: Tom Savage? M hm, keep sitting on our toes, Tom Savage? 819 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:48,800 Speaker 1: Or be ready to sitting here, Christian Hackenburgh, We more likely? 820 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: What kind of question is this? It's obviously Tommy Savage, 821 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 1: who looked who looked like he had a little bit 822 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 1: of promise and has a chance to start Week one 823 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: for a team. I don't think it's a great chance 824 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: because I think Tony Romo will be there. But if 825 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,800 Speaker 1: Tony Roma was not there, I fully expect Tom Savage 826 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: to be their Week one starter. I'm with you, and 827 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: it's you could go eight weeks before we even see 828 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 1: Christian Hackenburg. If they things play out, probably Bryce Petty 829 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,719 Speaker 1: would be a number two behind Josh McCown. So you're 830 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: not gonna win m VP by taking over from Halloween. Plus, 831 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: they generally describe his VP by the way, Pro Bowl, 832 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, Yeah, they're gonna go one in fifteen. They're 833 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: not going on. There's not a lot of Pro Bowl 834 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: players on the Jets, say, from your lips to God, 835 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:34,240 Speaker 1: they generally describe Hackenburg's you know, football ability and practice 836 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: to be something akin to like a sixth grader. I 837 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: mean they're think they're cruel to Hackenburg. I'm not the one. 838 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm just saying they they're brutal talking about Tom Savage 839 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 1: is more real than Christian Hackenburg according to your sound drops, Yes, absolutely, 840 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 1: absolutely more real. Who starts more games? Is Tony gonna 841 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 1: be on the Texans? Is that gonna happen or what 842 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: I think he could be? He could be announcing Texans games? 843 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,879 Speaker 1: I will say yes though. Okay, this one from Scott 844 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 1: at Scott Underscore Mets twelve. It's a mouthful. Scott. I'm 845 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: not gonna say your Twitter handles bad. There's just a 846 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,320 Speaker 1: lot going on there, a lot of characters. Um, should 847 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,959 Speaker 1: Browns tell Garrett and Watson to kiss off at number 848 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 1: one because of their quote unquote jokes. Droubinsky wants to 849 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: be in Cleveland. Now a little background to this, Uh, 850 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: definitely not. I believe Garrett sent out the word or 851 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: someone did or something was reported that he wanted to 852 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: go to the Cowboy. He made it joke. It was 853 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: a video Deshaun Watson. I don't even know the Watson situation, 854 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: but I guess something similar happened. I think, yeah, anti 855 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: Cleveland or I want to go somewhere else. Who knows 856 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: Mitchie Trabinsky wants to be in Cleveland. Now. It's kind 857 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,800 Speaker 1: of a silly question, but a good one, Scott. But 858 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,399 Speaker 1: the point is a real one. I think the fact 859 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 1: mark that Cleveland has this bad reputation. Would you not 860 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 1: want a guy that had some negative things to say 861 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: about your franchise? Very briefly, no, not at all. I 862 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: would absolutely take those players, because we just spent twenty 863 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: minutes talking about the Raiders, a team that no one 864 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: wanted to go to four or five years ago. If 865 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 1: Cleveland got good, do you know what's going to happen 866 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: in that city will be bigger than the Calves. I 867 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: promise you bigger than the Calves. It is a football 868 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 1: city at its heart, and he could be part of that. 869 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: Any players they pick can be They should want that challenge. 870 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 1: Here we go, this one from Gavin Harris at gave Pedro. 871 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,919 Speaker 1: You can choose any city in America. Greg, we'll start 872 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 1: with you on this one for an expansion team. Which 873 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:35,359 Speaker 1: city do you choose? And why? Any city you want, 874 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:40,839 Speaker 1: buddy boy, any city not Martha's Vineyard, but anywhere else. 875 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 1: I mean I would go to San Diego. I mean 876 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 1: that sounds like I don't know what the word would be, 877 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,760 Speaker 1: sentimental or something, but it's the right choice. It's a huge, 878 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:53,040 Speaker 1: great football market and they don't have a team. If 879 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 1: if we're trying to think of cities that have never 880 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: had an NFL team, that's good. I think I didn't 881 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: think of that immediately, but that's a great choice. How 882 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: about that? Mark a little empathy from Greg over there. 883 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it's very human, very human moment from Greg Rosen. 884 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 1: What about I hear Austin is really cool. I have 885 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: no idea, but you know, It's like, I think it's 886 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 1: the charm of Austin, and I know a little bit 887 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,279 Speaker 1: about Emily's from Texas. I got married a little bit, 888 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,319 Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit. We don't need the drop. 889 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: We don't need the drop. Um that that's not breaking news. 890 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,919 Speaker 1: But part of the charm is that it's a nice 891 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 1: little city. And keep Austin weird that type of vibe. Well, 892 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 1: it's funny. It's funny you say that because the I 893 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 1: believe the the original slogan was my The other city 894 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,399 Speaker 1: that came to mind, keep Portland's weird. Yeah, it's big, 895 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: big week for the Northwest with a couple of college 896 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: basketball teams. How about throw an NFL team in Portland? 897 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,800 Speaker 1: Works for me, works for me? Good answers, guys, moving on? 898 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: Uh uh? What else we got here? How about the 899 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,280 Speaker 1: Anchorage Arrows. Put a team up an Anchorage outdoor stadium, 900 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 1: get men that know how to play in the most 901 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: freezing temperatures, and you just destroy teams fifty one to nothing. 902 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 1: You throw the ball once a game. Maybe would you 903 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,359 Speaker 1: cover them? I would be on television from here. Sure, 904 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 1: I'll take a step further. You already in Alaska. Let's 905 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 1: take to Russia. Russian Rockets. Oh, I thought it was 906 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 1: the United States. I would definitely pick a team outside 907 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 1: of the States. Number one, the Russia Rockets in Russian here, 908 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 1: why not go Siberia? At that point, suddenly Russian intelligence 909 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 1: has appeared to have connected with our host is now 910 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,839 Speaker 1: is one of the great superpowers, and we should all 911 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: respect what they have to say to Russia. Russia has 912 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: it together. Moving on, Mark, this question is radio Dean 913 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 1: Bonner at Dean in the How many teams are legit 914 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 1: and all kidding aside? Here? Just give me a number, Mark, 915 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: how many teams are legitimate contenders for the Super Bowl 916 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:23,360 Speaker 1: next year? Four? Stop? I know, Greg, you don't like that. 917 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,760 Speaker 1: To make the super Bowl or to win it? Super 918 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 1: Bowl contenders get I guess to win, I'm saying to win, 919 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: four to win, to win, I'll go for to get there. Seven. Okay, 920 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:45,280 Speaker 1: Who's who can win? Who can feasibly win the Super Bowl? Patriots? Right, Packers, Steelers, Cowboys, 921 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 1: everybody else can go home. Sea Hawks have no chance. 922 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: They don't make my cut. Do you have the Raiders 923 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 1: on there? Your car is arbitrary? Tough day for Oak 924 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: I mean this whole there's all this assumption in NFL 925 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,359 Speaker 1: Network two, it's like the Super Bowl contending Raiders make 926 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: a big push and get to the super Bowl next year, Like, okay, look, 927 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 1: look at a lot needs to happen for that to 928 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 1: be the reality to happen. They had a magical season 929 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 1: last year that didn't such doesn't happen every single season. Yeah, 930 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,319 Speaker 1: that's fair, Chiefs. Maybe I'm maybe I'm being a little 931 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: conservative with four, but I don't think it goes beyond 932 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,479 Speaker 1: four or five. Don't say, Chiefs, We're gonna say cheese. 933 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 1: Wild card round, they're out. They have a legitimate shot 934 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,439 Speaker 1: to get to the wild card round. Next up. Tom 935 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,720 Speaker 1: Marshall a red Zona UK. How long until Las Vegas 936 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 1: gets a Super Bowl? Super Bowl sixty? Maybe? Um, it 937 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,759 Speaker 1: makes sense that Vegas would become because you know all 938 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 1: the conventions. If you're from the States, Vegas is like 939 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,000 Speaker 1: the convention capital of the world, so they can host 940 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:49,279 Speaker 1: big events. They have a convention center, they have arenas. Uh, 941 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 1: there's no shortage of entertainment, obviously, I would think Vegas Yet, 942 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,719 Speaker 1: Greg more competition for New Orleans to get the game 943 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: that they deserve every fourth so annoying. Inglewood has the 944 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 1: one super Bowl, So the next one available, and if 945 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 1: the recent track record is any indication that will be 946 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, is you get it about two two years 947 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 1: after you open your new stadium they're opening, that would 948 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 1: be the time basically the next one, uh Jack Clark 949 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,800 Speaker 1: at Southerner Jack. Likelihood of the return of t return 950 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,680 Speaker 1: of team of a t N and the chances that 951 00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,920 Speaker 1: team makes the playoffs, it's a it's a thorny issue. 952 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 1: It's I'm kind of problematic for you, guys. It's been 953 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 1: a tough season. What do you think, Mark, will a 954 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,800 Speaker 1: segment return. Yes, I I would be fine if it didn't, 955 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,520 Speaker 1: but I feel it will be somehow both somehow force 956 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: it upon ourselves. September will be like, all right, guys, 957 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,479 Speaker 1: let's get jazzed up again for it. It's like, okay, 958 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,800 Speaker 1: we go. Mark was burned last year. Oh that was 959 00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 1: a tough year from Mark. I mean not only the 960 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 1: rounds go one in fifteen. You were out in front 961 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,759 Speaker 1: with the Vikings, and when that got that got a 962 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: little personal and nobody enjoyed it, and you enjoyed it 963 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: the least. It was not fun. Um. Yeah, I am 964 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: not like longing for that segment to come back. I don't. 965 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,759 Speaker 1: I think there's major, like organic issues to begin with, 966 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 1: because usually have the people have to pretend to be 967 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:23,920 Speaker 1: excited about that. Yeah, it's been a while since we 968 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,319 Speaker 1: all or never see that's it. We've gone down all 969 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 1: those routes in terms of breaking down how to fix it, 970 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,240 Speaker 1: and then it just becomes convoluted. But if you already 971 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 1: up your own ass, and then how much further can 972 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:36,800 Speaker 1: one go when you have multiple team I would be 973 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 1: willing to pick it out of a hat, but I 974 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,400 Speaker 1: know that other people would not be many many of 975 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 1: this group. I kind of love that idea actually, and 976 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 1: ifever we take you if we if we well, if 977 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,240 Speaker 1: we picked, if we picked like a maybe a handful 978 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 1: of finalists that we agree I feel like, and then 979 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 1: you pick that teams, I think it's that then we're 980 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: already getting into all this like checks and bounce. It's 981 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 1: like it's thirty two teams, pick one, and you know what, 982 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,719 Speaker 1: you can't complain. We're not trying to convince each other. 983 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 1: You can't be, but you can't be. Later say oh 984 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,080 Speaker 1: it's Dan's fault that this is our time, and we'll 985 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,320 Speaker 1: have someone else picking maybe the person who picked like that. 986 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,520 Speaker 1: We could we could blame that person. I really like this. 987 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,839 Speaker 1: I'm not picking. I'm not picking. Can we do can 988 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 1: we do pink pong balls? Could we have a we 989 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 1: have a lottery? Make it in a bent that I 990 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,719 Speaker 1: can get excited about. That's a great We have a 991 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 1: lot of hours to fill this up, a lot hours. 992 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 1: From Philip Gaffy at p gaff seventy one, is the 993 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,279 Speaker 1: is the last time we will see the infield and 994 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,799 Speaker 1: pitchers mound on the middle of a football field. Uh. 995 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,239 Speaker 1: He's referring, of course, to the Raiders, who are the 996 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,400 Speaker 1: final team to share the NFL team to share a 997 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:47,279 Speaker 1: facility with the baseball team, the Oakland Athletics. Yeah, this 998 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,239 Speaker 1: could be it. I think it's definitely it. Barring some 999 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,800 Speaker 1: one game weirdness somewhere, it will be. Yeah. It seems 1000 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,399 Speaker 1: like a relic from another time already whenever it happens now, 1001 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,279 Speaker 1: But yeah, this is it. This will probab probably be 1002 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,399 Speaker 1: the last time. Because it's such big business, bigger than ever. 1003 00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 1: The idea of the NFL and MLB being a business together, 1004 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 1: it's just not gonna happen. That's what That's what ultimately 1005 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,880 Speaker 1: killed them in this stadium situation is being partners with 1006 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:19,319 Speaker 1: the A's and this terrible lease that they signet you're 1007 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,360 Speaker 1: watching the game too. I like it as a like 1008 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 1: growing up in the eighties, there were probably five or 1009 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 1: six teams that had that early in the year and 1010 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,880 Speaker 1: it was kind of a cool marking of early season football. 1011 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,279 Speaker 1: But I think if anything will be written up in 1012 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,080 Speaker 1: a future you know, packed between the players and the owners, 1013 00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 1: that we don't play on dirt surface, you can We're 1014 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,439 Speaker 1: not gonna do that when we're making the contracts were making. 1015 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:46,760 Speaker 1: Next up, how long until Greg Rosenthal is too famous 1016 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 1: for the podcast and you can only get him on 1017 00:54:49,200 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 1: as a special guest. Look out, it's NFL net So ridiculous, Greg, 1018 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 1: any truth, I love that drop as far as I've seen. 1019 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,320 Speaker 1: You know, we we we've been on NFL Network a 1020 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 1: lot more than I ever was, you know, during the 1021 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 1: season that we've made such a big deal out of, 1022 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 1: So maybe it should be NFL Networks. You know, Greg 1023 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 1: rosenl Dan hanzis calling Wolf, Mark Cesler and Chris Wesley, 1024 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:33,880 Speaker 1: but's still your name first? Okay. Noticed the little bit 1025 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,919 Speaker 1: of like sadness and Greg's voice when he speaks about 1026 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,520 Speaker 1: this reality that we're all on together now as opposed 1027 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,360 Speaker 1: to it is a lot more fun and the segments 1028 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: are a lot better, that's for sure. By the way, 1029 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 1: Zick is a great job with that drop. We were 1030 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 1: listening to it in the office the other day, just 1031 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,560 Speaker 1: playing it over and over. People. People should watch up 1032 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,799 Speaker 1: to the minute. By the way, on Tuesday, forget about 1033 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 1: mat sick is. Zick has just got more popp than 1034 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:06,600 Speaker 1: he ever expected. Go ahead, Greg, two to three Pacific, 1035 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,360 Speaker 1: five to six Eastern, up to the minute. It'll be 1036 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Brett Loveday at cow Yank Who amongst the 1037 00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 1: heroes do we trust least in Vegas? What does that 1038 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 1: even mean? To do? What? There's a couple of categories, 1039 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 1: all right, this is how I see it, um, Greg. 1040 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: In general, you kind of have your stuff together in 1041 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,040 Speaker 1: the sense that you're unless it's like a really crazy night, 1042 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 1: Greg's not gonna go too high or too low. And 1043 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 1: that's a compliment. So I don't think you could. It 1044 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,719 Speaker 1: would be where's Greg. I'm not going to be the 1045 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,680 Speaker 1: answer to this question. Uh. To a lesser extent, I 1046 00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,439 Speaker 1: would I would put myself in that category to where 1047 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,759 Speaker 1: I might have. I might have like a like Springs night, 1048 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 1: but you're not. I'm not gonna disappear and I'm not 1049 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:57,279 Speaker 1: gonna like gamble away my my son's college fund. Like 1050 00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,959 Speaker 1: I'll have some connection. I'll be tethered just a little 1051 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:05,440 Speaker 1: bit and despite sic Okay, all right, speak on it. 1052 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,520 Speaker 1: Let me let me finish first, and then you can 1053 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 1: chime in. West hates Vegas. So West would just stay 1054 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,400 Speaker 1: at the hotel bar, wouldn't gamble, wouldn't go to the pool. 1055 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 1: Maybe he'll go to the pool, but he would just 1056 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 1: enjoy himself and have some spirits and he might get 1057 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:23,960 Speaker 1: really drunk, but you know where to find him at 1058 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 1: the end of the night. He'll be at the lobby bar. True, Yeah, 1059 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 1: Mark Marks to me marks the answer, because if you 1060 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 1: have one of your like fun Mark Knights, I could 1061 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:40,320 Speaker 1: see you disappearing and making some new friends, going down 1062 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,160 Speaker 1: some wormhole that takes you out of Vegas entire all 1063 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden you're in Henderson, Like I could see 1064 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 1: markus by his his uh adventurer spirit. Uh if the 1065 00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 1: if the night hits you a certain way, talking I 1066 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 1: an eagle somewhere with something. If if it goes really wrong, 1067 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:04,360 Speaker 1: you're You're six ft under the desert halfway. That's fantastic. 1068 00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,320 Speaker 1: I am not a gambler number one, like I always 1069 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 1: rolled no capital, But in my mind I would be like, 1070 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 1: because I'm not gambling any money, I can spend so 1071 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,920 Speaker 1: much more money doing other things. And that's when the 1072 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 1: But I think most of us as a group would 1073 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 1: be in much more trouble in a smaller setting. Yes, 1074 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,560 Speaker 1: I really do. I think Vegas. To me, it's like, 1075 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not really into Vegas. But this group 1076 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 1: in general, when when things have gotten completely off the rails, 1077 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 1: it's at like at Palm Springs, it's at a suddenly 1078 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,080 Speaker 1: the cozy has something going on that they don't know 1079 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: how to handle. It's like it is. It's not at 1080 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,920 Speaker 1: a larger venue necessarily, except for Super Bowls and combines 1081 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 1: and other events. You're you're you deliver the final verdict 1082 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,919 Speaker 1: question who amongst the heroes do we trust least in Vegas? Which, 1083 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:52,480 Speaker 1: by the way, Mark doesn't mean I would trust you 1084 00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 1: the least, but it would be the biggest wild I 1085 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,240 Speaker 1: hear you feel free to surprise us. Yeah, trust is 1086 00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,440 Speaker 1: sort of a weird thing in Vegas because lots of 1087 00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,320 Speaker 1: things happen in Vegas. But in terms of like biggest 1088 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 1: wild card, it's obviously it's Sessler. We've we've all seen Sessler, 1089 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 1: we've all been together with each other and these moments 1090 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:15,439 Speaker 1: and I could totally see that. But Dan is right 1091 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 1: there behind. It's one A, one B. You don't know 1092 00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,960 Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. And um, just from what what 1093 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,600 Speaker 1: we saw in Palm Springs, I think that I got 1094 00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 1: a little taste of that. You know, I got to 1095 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,480 Speaker 1: agree with that. We haven't had a chance to talk 1096 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,920 Speaker 1: about Palm Springs, but I think what happened was Market. 1097 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,320 Speaker 1: We got helicoptered into the event, and we kind of 1098 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,680 Speaker 1: came in what seemed to be like a neutral zone 1099 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,320 Speaker 1: where there was some recovery night going on and we 1100 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,919 Speaker 1: had some authorities issue and Mark, you know, Market Phil 1101 00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 1: cops came. By the way, you keep saying that the 1102 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:55,960 Speaker 1: like the renegade that we've been correct. Um, So I think, 1103 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,120 Speaker 1: at least from my point of view, I wasn't looking 1104 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,880 Speaker 1: for anybody to get some summons is or anything. But 1105 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,440 Speaker 1: Daddy drove to Pond Springs. When when a dad that 1106 01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 1: has kids can get away for a night, that is 1107 01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 1: going to take advantage of that. I hope I didn't 1108 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,880 Speaker 1: do anything to make you on comfortable, colleague. No, never, 1109 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 1: I did sending in very like that you knew this 1110 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 1: text was coming if you're calling and gone. So it 1111 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 1: was like I didn't do it the next day. It 1112 01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,160 Speaker 1: was like a couple of days later, like, hey had 1113 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 1: a really good time, thanks so much, like dot dot dot, 1114 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 1: Like I hope everyone's like still cool with us, Like 1115 01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,520 Speaker 1: there was a general vibe in the morning it woke. 1116 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 1: I'd be like, I don't know for a friend or 1117 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 1: foe here, you just get out of here. No no, 1118 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 1: I was actually going back and looking through my videos 1119 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: and pictures and snapchats, and we all had a really 1120 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,760 Speaker 1: great time together. It was a great night. He did 1121 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,920 Speaker 1: a great job. Thanks that. He's going to talk in 1122 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:56,080 Speaker 1: the third person all night. Greg. You understand my general 1123 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 1: point though, third aside, when Dad gets out of the house, 1124 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,160 Speaker 1: especially when you I feel the second kid break, it 1125 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 1: changes everything.
